today in the governments famous
suit against the Standard Oil Com
pany, Of Indiana. The suit Of the
government, wherein the company at
once time was fined $2o, $4,000 at the
hands Of Judge Landis on the charge
Of having accepted rebates from the
Chicago & Alton Railroad came to
an end abruptly
Judge Anderson before whom this
case was brought after reversal by
the United States circuit court Of
appeals, instructed the jury to find
verdict Of not guilty. Judge Ander-
sons decision was not altogether
unlocked for he having previously
announced that the proof relied on
in the first trial was incompetent and
1t was with something of an air OF
hopelessness that District Attorney
Sims and his assistants attempted to
show admissibility of Illinois classi-
fcation to prove the existence Of a
legal rate Of lS cents. This was the
vital point of the governments con-
tention. Assistant District Attorney
Wilkerson admitted the prosecution
could not supply the proof deemed
necessary and suggested dismissal.
Attorney Miller then moved for
verdict instructing mot guilty" which
was so ordered. As to whether the
of the other seven in
dictments pending against the COM
pany would be instituted, District
Attorney Sims would not express an
opinion, stating this rested entirely
with the Attorney-General.

MINORITY OF CONGRESS-
ARE WORRNG
WONDER WHAT KIND OF A
PACKAGE CANNON WILL
HAND THEM.

WASHINGTON, D. C., March 10.
The Insurgents" and Democrats
are indulging in speculations as to
what will be the policy Of Speaker
Cannon in selecting the committees
of the next house in the event he is
successful, in the present fight. The
Democrats are apprehensive that he
will assume the right heretofore
conferred on the minority leader to
fill the minority memberships as
we'll as the majority places on the
committees, This they think is
borne out by the fact that Cannon
has held no conference with the mi
nority leader, Clark, nor is one
scheduled as the Democrats expect
to make political capital out of the
failure of the Speaker to recognize
them. The minority leaders arguing
that this is another illustration of the
despotic power Of speaker, Another
thing that is worrying both the EN-
surgents" and Democrats is that
Cannon may classify the "Insur-
gents" as minority members and
make the committee appointments on
that basis This would reduce the
Democratic representation and might
prove embarrassing to the "Insur-
gents" Clark conferred today with
Nelson and Gardner and afterwards
said the ght on rules would not be
abandoned but that they denied that
the Democrats and Insurgents" had
agreed as to voting on any specific
rule,
