Court Orders Jury to Find
Standard Not Guilty.
END OF THE BIG FINE SUIT
Judge Anderson Told Prosecutors
Further Proof of Relating Must Be
Furnished or Case Would Faii--De-
cIares He Followed Decisions of Cir
cult Court of Appeals.

Chicago. March 1.-THE Standard
Oil Company of Indiana was found not
guilty of accepting rebates from the
Chicago & Alton railroad on shipments
of oil from Whiting. Ind, to East st.
Louis, Ill. The verdict was returned
by q jury in the federal court on in
structions of Judge A. G. Anderson,
who averred that he followed the cir
cult court of appeals decisions as to
the verdict returned at the former trial
of the same case and on which verdict
Judge Kenesaw Mountain Lands as
sessed fine of $29,240,0o0.
Judge Anderson's decision was not
unexpected, as he had told the gov
eminent prosecutors that the PROOF
relied on in the first trial was incom-
petent and that 1t must be compile
mented or fail. 1t was with something
e an air of hopefulness that District
Attorney Edwin w. Sims and his as
sistants attempted to show the admis-
sibility of the Illinois classification to
prove the existence Of legal rate OF
Is cents, which was vital point in
the governments contention.
It was after Assistant District At
torney James III. Wilkerson had argued
for two hours and in the end admitted
that the prosecution could not furnish
the further proof deemed necessary by
the court for continuation of the
case that Judge Anderson announced
his decision.
Mr.. Wilkerson said that the govern
ment could proceed no further and
suggested dismissal of the case.
Attorney John s. Miller, chief coun-
sci in the case for the. oil company,
Immediately moved that there be an
instructed verdict of not guilty the
court so ordered. and the jury. which
had been excluded during the argu-
ments by the attorneys, was called in
and charged.
The. decision of Judges Grosscup,
Baker and Seaman, of the United
States circuit court of appeals, re-
versing Judge Lands, together with
the action of the United States SUI
preme court in refusing to review the
decision of the court of appeals, was
assigned as authority for the decision
of Judge Anderson.

All she had to do was to ask, and
the world poured out its treasures.
Till a few years ago Anna Nor

smart set. She did all the things
that rich women did. She travelled,
she hunted elk in Colorado: gave
great balls and receptions; she en-
tertained; set styles in dress. She
sent ment all around the world
looking for a certain type of dog.
Finding 1t, she paid $4,000 to get it.
And now-well. Anna Morgan is
changed.
She Is approaching IS and Is
unmarried.
When she found that social tri-
umphs did not satisfy she looked
about her. She saw, In New York,
near her palatial home, something
splendid to do. There was work
for a lifetime, for a thousand life
times. and that would satisfy.
She discovered that there were
women working in cigar factories,
bending worn shoulders and pale
faces over grimy benches, for long
tiresome hoars--at wages which
would hardly keep a child alive.

rights and his greed for money, as
