ESCAPE BIG FINE
OILY JUDGE pAvES THE WAY
TO REDUCE FINE TO
$72O.

CHICAGO, Feb. 25.-From Judge
Lands fine Of $2o,0O0OOO to a pos
sible maximum fine of $40 is admit
ted to be the meaning of the ruling
made today by Judge Anderson in
the retrial of the Standard Oil Com
pany Of Indiana. The ruling was in
formal but it viii almost certainly
stand The court of appeals in rraS
ing out Landis' great fine, eliminated
the view that each car lot Of oil on
which the rebate was accepted con-
stituted a separate offense. There
we're 1862 of these car lots, charges
on which were paid in So different
settlements. Anderson interpreted
this decision to imply that the alleged
rebates accepted at each Of the IS set
Elements constituted units of offense.
The ruling is severe blow to the
district attorney, who had argued that
each Of the 500 shipments, making a
possible maximum fine Of 100000
constituted an offense.
