Is the Opinion of Lawyers Who Are

Anderson's Decision.

Chicago, March 11.-Lawyers who
are today discussing the decision of
Judge Anderson in the Standard Oil
case yesterday are almost universal
in declaring that the Elkins law is a
dead letter, in at least so far as it
concerns the punishment of the ship

opinion given by Attorney Sims last
summer that the law licensed ship
pers to rebate seems now to be true,
as a successful prosecution under it
as now construed by the courts is
impossible.

there This Is said 10 have reacted.
and that the Philadelphia public has
become aroused and indignant-oh, mir
acle of miraclesi-and has been keeping
away from the Phillies' park. The Ath-
letics plant is said to have cost half
a million dollars. and will seat go
people. The attendance there has beef
ranging from 1000 TO 5,OGJ or bUt0, al
though the Athletics are the sensation
of the American League. and are likely
to finish the season IN second place. or
course, the Athletics are drawing well
on the road, but Uheir home. crowds
should be the big money makers, and
they are getting about the number of
paid admissions in Philadelphia that
they might expect if they had been
tailenders as long as Washington.
Barney Dreyfuss certainly packed
them into Forbes Park, in Pittsburg'
yesterday. A total OF 30,33S paid admis-
siOns must make some of those Polo
Grounds jugglers of figures catch their
breath.
That the Philadelphia politicians
should be so idiotic as to Sight thRsAth
letics through he street car con- panies
is hard to believe, but folk over there
do believe it. The trip from the center
of the city TO Shibe Park takes = bout
forty minutes and most of the news
paper men prefer to go by railroad,
which can be reached after a walk of
seven or eight blocks. If the crowds
going TO the park were large pretty
nearly everybody would nave to stand
or go in an automobile, and it is the
knowledge that this long stand must be
made that is keeping the fans away,
not the length of the journey or the
time consumed. Two ball teams for
cities the size of Philadelphia have come
to stay, and the small wits who are try
ing to injure the Athletics are simply
losing money they could make out of
transporting the American League pa
irons, and not helping the Phillies.

Since that prolonged series with De-

a winning streak, and are throwing the
hooks into Chicago with q. force and
enthusiasm most distressing to those
anxious to see Washington out of last

BAH luck or whether It is because PTeSI-

about half his Browns, is not apparent
from this distance, but it is a cinch
