Of appeals decision as to the verdict

same case and on which verdict
Judge kensaw Mountain Lands as
sessed fine of S29,240,000.
Judge Anderson's decision was not
unexpected as he had yesterday told
the government prosecutors that the
proof relied on in the first trial was
incompetent, and that it must be
compiemented or fail. 1t was with
something Of an air of hopelessness
that District Attorney Edwin ".
Sims, and his assistant attempted to
show the admissability of the Illi-
nois Classification to prove the ex-
istance Of a legal rate OF IS cents,
which was vital point in the gov
ernment's contention.
It vas after Assistant District At
torney Jas. H. Wilkerson had argued
for two hours and in the end ad-
mitted that the prosecution could
not furnish the further proof deemed
necessary by the court for continu-
alton of the case that Judge Ander-
son announced his decision.
Mr.. Wilkerson said that the gov
ernment could proceed no further
and suggested dismissal Of the case.
Attorney John S. Miller, chief coun-
sci in the case of 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-
meEts by the attorneys, was called in
and charged.

SHOULD SHUN SOFT DRINKS.
Government Pure Food Expert Warns
Girl Students.

Washington, March 10. - The
dangers of "the soft drink habit"
and the innocence with which girls
become addicted to it, were empha-
sized tonight by DR.. Harvey, with W..
Wiley, the Governments pure food
expert, in lecture before one hun
dred girl students at Holy Cross
Academy.
IF you only know what I know
about what those soft drinks con-
tain you would abstain from them,
he said. "It will surprise you to
know that most Of them contain
more caffeine than coffee, and drug
which is more deadly. So beware
of the soft drink. It is more harm
full than coffee, and I advise al.
young people against the use Of this
stimulant. Perhaps you would be
interested to know I have collect
ed more than one hundred samples
of soft drinks sold at soda foun
tains, and each contains caffeine, anc
many of them deadly drug

GOES TO WORK
IN DEAD EARNEST TO FIGHT
CONSUMPTION.
Aiken Employs Trained Nurse Who
VIII Devote All of Her Time to
tuberculosis.

The Columbia Record says Miss
Susie S. Ravenel has been employed
by the Aiken County Antituberculo-
sis League, as trained nuTe, TO as
sist in it's work of prevention of the
white plague. The league has been
very active in its Inauguration Of a
war against consumption. Although
the league has been organized only
few weeks, practical results are
now being obtained, and the people
are being instructed in the means
Of preventing disease.
1t is only recent years that means
for cope with this dreaded disease
have been discovered and this knowl-
edge is not yet prevalent among the
people; and the dissemination OF this
knowledge is the primary object for
the league in this county. No dues
are paid for membership in the
league, but voluntary subscriptions
are being received by the officers for
the prosecution of the work. Many
of the Northern visitors have liberal
ly helped in this work.
Miss Ravenel has already COM
menced her work. She devotes the
forenoon to the work, making visits
to all parties who may need her
assistance. No charge is made for
her assistance, which is given not
from charitable standpoint, but
as matter of giving valuable sug-
gestions for the caring Of patients
and prevention Of the spread to 9TH
er members of the family, and the
bic, with whom infected persons
ev come in contact. Miss Ravenel
has had long experience as nurse.
and she has entered the work with
a spirit. She will make periodical
reports to the president Of the
league, Dr. Fillmore Moore.
The trained nurse will conduct
her work in conjunction with, and
in harmony with the board Of health.
Miss Ravenel will also consult with
the physicians of the city, and work
in conjunction with them. Such
cases that are reported to her, as
needing assistance, advice, or in any
manner that she can help them, she
will visit. The object of this is, of
course, to prevent the further spread
Of the disease, and it is stated that
where persons refuse to heed friendly
and voluntary suggestions for the
safety of the people against tuber-
culosis, such cases will be referred
to the board Of health, to take such
action as they see fit for public
safety.

MURDER WOMAN'S HUSBAND.
"Rev." Wolfram and Mrs. Malinda
Lockhart Locked Up.

Atlanta, Ca, March 10.-Charles
n. Wolfram, whom calims to be an
ordained Holiness preacher, and Mrs.
Malinda Lockhart are being held in
the county jail on charges growing
out of their discovery together in
the formers room on Marietta street.
The arrest was caused by woman's
husband, James J. Lockhart, whom.
the two prisoners claim, taey had
planned to murder.
Wolfram is author of several So
called religious books, and earned q
livelihood selling them on the streets
Mrs. Lockhart is a strikingly hand
some woman, and apparently intelli-
gent. She has not lived with lel
husband for two years, because, as
she claims, Wolfram was found te
be her "soul-mate" or affinity"
Religious attraction led to thei,
association, is is claimed, and to re
move all carnal barriers they had de
cided to remove Lockhart by ths
poison route. Their nerve failed a
the last moment and Lockhart still
lives to enjoy his estate of $4,000

In His Study al Newark, N. ], by
Assassins
SHOT AT WOMAN ALSO
Three Men Walk into Room Of the
Rev. Erasmus Ansion and Shoot
Him to Death-Dead Priest Had
Ousted Several Trustees, Causing
Much Dissatisfaction.

Newark, N. j., March 10.--Three
men whose features appear to have
been concealed by their heavy over
coats and slouch hats, walked into
the study Of the Rev. Erasmus Ansi-
on, pastor of the Polish Church OF
st. Stanislaus, this morning and
opened fire upon him. Three bull
lets from their three revolvers hit the
priest, killing him instantly.
The trio turned to make their es-
cape and found their way blocked
by Mrs. Antonio Sewrzytska, the
heusekeeper. One of the visitors
turned his revolver upon her, infict-
ing wound which is likely to prove
fatal. Then all three made their es-
cape.
The police were put to work on
the case within a few minutes Of
the murder and by noon had
rouaded up four suspects, one Of
whom the housekeeper, now in st.
Barnasbas Hospital, thought bore a
resemblance to the leader Of the trio
who had done the shooting. The 9TH
ers she was unable to identify. All
four denied any knowledge Of the af-
fair.
No adequate theory to account for
the attack upon the priest has been
presented to the police. It was learn
ed that there has, recently been con-
siderable factional trouble in the con-
gregation, and Father Ansion, when
he came from Paterson to take
charge Of the church five months ago,
made several changes which are said
to have caused widespread dissatis-
faction.
All the men arrested are members
Of St. Stanislaus church, and the
police ordered the arrest Of all the
former trustees, whom the dead
priest ousted when he took charge
Of the parish.
The police tonight arrested three
men, suspects, all Poles, who reside
near the church. At the same time
it was announced that the belief was
growing that the priests assassins
were not Newark men, although it
was thought that the murder has
been planned here and that some Of
those under arrest may be able to
shed light on these plans.
A crowd Of 5000 Poles gathered
early tonight in front Of the rectory
in which lay the body Of the murder
ed priest, expressing their grief and
demanding to see the body. The
police succeeded IN getting 1t under
control by promising to grant Its de-
mand. Accordingly, double line Of
police was arrayed from the street
through the house, and for two hours
or more the Poles marched IN single
file past the casket in which the
