Gov. Haskell alleging that Mao
Reynolds had in his possession papers
which he intended to publish, thereby
libeling the governor, was without
sufficient fact to justify the action OF
the officers and ordered the papers and
other property Of Mr.. MacRaynolds Dc
returned to him. In referring TO inc
writ, Judge Strang said:
1T does not rise to the dignity OF
showing calculated to satisfy the
court that a crime is being committed
nv the defendant, such showing as
the law requires before the security
guaranteed by the constitution afairst
search and seizure shall be disturbed,
for while 1t states that the defendant
has conspired, in conspiring, 1t also
shows that the aftiant does not know
any specific or definite person whom
he has conspired or Is conspiring and
this allegation is not followed by any
| alleged facts to support the allegation
Of conspiracy; neither does 1t present
any facts as a foundation for Wha'
follows on information and belief thai
the defendant has In his possession

Kansas city, Mar. S.--Gertrude Hon
mann danced at the shubert theater-
but the Spring Song" which she had
hitherto skipped with her torso scant-
Nv draped and her legs and feet bare,
was danced Monday night In pink
tights. And there was no Salons
dance and that vivacious Il Don't Care
song, in the imitation Of Eva Tansuay
was not attempted. The reason was =
restraining order issued by Judge y.
q. Porterheld Monday at 5 o'clock.
The order specifically squelched the
salome dance and the careless song
and required tights in other dances.

The governments attitude, ex-
pressed in yelled form in the unsuc-
cessful attempt to have the Lands az
cision reviewed by the supreme court
has been that failure to inflict q huge
fine proportionate to the earnings Of
the defendants would practically null
Iify years Of investigating and prose-
cution, and make the large sums ex-
pended SO much wasted money. A
fine Of $lO,O0O,OOO, 1t was believed,
would suffice to indicate that the gov
eminent has the power to deal en-
GENTLY, with alleged corporate evils.
Judge Anderson's ruling Thursday, It
is said, removed that hope, although
the case will be prosecuted to the end.

FAVORS OIL TRUST
THE STANDARD WINS A BIG POINT
~ JUDGE ANDERsoN's
RULING.
FINE SURE 10 Be REDUCED
Zach settlement Between Company
and Railroads, of Which There
Were 50, 70 Constitute
an offense.

Chicago. Feb. 2e.-From Judge
Landis' fne Of $4,000 to q pos
sible maximum fine Of $4,000 is ad-
mItted to be the meaning Of q ruling
made by Judge Anderson In the re-
trial Of the Standard Oil company OF
Indiana for alleged rebating Thurs
day. The ruling was informal ana
made to expedite the hearing and al
though the government has the privf
lege Of presenting further arguments
II IL almost certain there will be no
change in the ruling when 1t Is Tor
mally entered.
The decision Of the court Of appeals
which reversed Judge Lands elimi-
mated the view Of that jurist that each
carlot Of oil on which a rebate was
accepted constituted a separate Of
tense. There were 1882 Of these car
lots. the freight charges for which
were paid in SO different settlements
Judge Anderson interpreted the de-
cision Of the appellate court, which ne
said served as his guide, to imply
that these alleged rebates accepted al
ter each of the SO settlements con
stitute the unit Of oftense. The ap
pellate court did not so state explicit
w. nor did 1t clear up the point whetn
er the alleged offense was a continu
GUS one, the whole forming single
violation Of the Ellxins law. The de
fense's argument that the offense, y
any. was continuous, Judge Andersen
regarded as anything but frivolous un
der the decision Of the upper court
| However, he regarded the settlement
basis as the logical one and the gov
eminent win proceed in the case Of
that assumption.
Judge Anderson's ruling was Sc
we're blow to District Attorney Sims
He and his assistant, James H. WI
kerson. had argued that each shiT
ment, Of which there were 500, MAXIM
nossible a maximum fine Of $4,000
600. constituted an ofiense. This vieN
JudRe Anderson declared he could no
understand. He said that II had no
been made plain what comprised
shipment--a trainload, carlot or
gallon. He saw no reason why II
trninload, or a carlot, were regarde
as q separate ofiense, the A-atte
! might not be further divided, maxim

ment. The division Of alleged o
lenses, be said. seemed to fall natura

Mr.. Wfkerson argued that the IN
