Laws Violated Every Day.

The bill charged that the company
had violated the states laws every
day since it had entered the state
through a conspiracy with the Stand
ard Oil company of New Jersey, to
control the oil business in Texas. The
company denied the charge. The pen
atty was at the rate of $500 per day
from May 81, 1900 to April 1, 1903, and
a rate of $50 per day from that time
on The case came to the supreme
court on writ of error. Justice Day
announced the decision of the supreme
court, affirming the findings of the
Texas court. The case turned upon the
point as to whether the proceedings of
the state against the company had been
in accordance with the constitutional re-
Quirement for due process of law and
the court held that such was the case,
While regarding the fine as very
large, Justice Days opinion held that
1t was competent to impose it.

I'm the caucus for the place of United
States senator The opponents Of
STnoot, however, were practically un-
animOusly for former Governor Heber
NJ. Wells and endeavOred to adjourn
that more time might be given for the
Wells campaign. The motion to ad
journ the caucus was defeated by q
motion of 20 TO %, and this vote indi-
Gates a division on Shoots candidacy
and probably on the prohibition ques-
ton.
Challenges Smoot Crowd.
The feature Of the caucus was the
injection of the prohibition question by
Representative Joseph J. Cannon of
salt Lake. Nj Cannon I'm heated
oratiou declared that he had heard that
Senator Reed Smoot was a party to =
deal whereby the Republican party Of
Salt Lake county was the recipient Of
the support of the breweries and the
saloon interests in return for pledge
that no legislation inimical to the liquor
interests would be passed at this scs-
sion Of the legislature. He demanded
to know whether or not this was true
and asked with emphasis that Reel
Smoot come out in the open and de-
clare himself on the prohibition ques-
ton.
Friends of Sn1oot i'm tine caucus were
careful not ia put either their chief OF
themselves on record on this question
and confined themselves TO the arEu-
ment Of the question from d party
standpoint They pointed with stinu-
lated pride to the brilliant record or
Senator Smo0t as . member of thc up
per house Of congress ana declared that
he was the only real choice Of the peo-
pie They said that the caucus was no
different from other caucUses and that
if the members had any fights they
should be made in the caucus and not
on the floor Of the legislature.
Real Fight of Caucus.
The vote on the question Of adjourn
ment was the real fight Of the caucus
and the test OF the strength Of the op-
posing factions The strength devel-
oped by the anti-Smo0t members was
remarkable from the fact that large
majority of the legislature had been
nominated and elected because of the
patronage of Smoot and his followers.
The leaders in the caucus in the fight
were Senator's Bullen and John r.
Smith. and Representatives Cannon
and Ashton for adjournment, while Sem
ators kuchler, Gardner and Badger and
Representative II. A. McMillin were
for immediate action.

Washington, Jan. fS--A resolution
was introduced today by Senator Ray
ner of Maryland calling on the attorney
general for information concerning the
bringing of a suit for libel against Ger
tain newspapers. Mr.. Rayner asked for
immediate consideration, saying the
only purpose was to get information
whether this suit had been ordered,
whether it was brought by the presi-
dent, under what statute, by whom or
dered, and by what power and authority
the courts are being used to forward
this suit.
The suit which President Roosevelt is
o
against the Press Publishing company
of New York, on account of charges in
the New York World that certain we'll
known persons. including Douglas Rob-
inson, brother-in-law of the president,
and c. p. Taft. brother of the PRESIDENT
elect, were interested in the purchase
of the Panama canal property, inspired
the Rayner resolution.
Suit illegal.
Addressing the senate in support of
the resolution. Mr.. Rayner said there
was no law which warrants a suit for
libel by the government.
IF any suit is being prosecuted said
Mr.. Rayner, eve want to know under
what statute it is being brought, be-
cause we ought to have an opportunity
to repeal that statute on the ground
that it is violation of the constitution
because it abridges the freedom of. the
press.
If the attorney general is not pro-
ceeding under some statute, then he is
violating the laws of the country"
Mr.. Lodge suggested that it was i'm
portant to know whether this was
libel of the government or was being
brought by the attorney general on be
half of individuals
Mr.. Rayner retorted that he proposed
to show that the circuit courts have no
jurisdiction in either case.
