KNEW NOT or HIGH RATE
STANDARD OIL INNOCENT OF
THOUGHT OF WRONG
In Shipping at Secret Low Freight
Rate-Attorneys Say Company
Was Ignorant Of High Rate.

Chicago, March 3.-Testimony In
the retrial of the case against the
Standard OIL Company OF Indiana for
accepting rebates from the Chicago &
Alton railway on shipments from
Whiting, Ind, to East st. Louis began
yesterday before Judge Anderson In
he United States district court. 1t is
lhe contention of the government that
he published lawful rate on oil be-
tween Whiting and East st. Louis
over the Chicago 4 Alton was 18
cents, while the oil company paid
only cents.
Assistant United States District At
torney Wilkerson attempted to intro
iuce in evidence a tariff sheet show
ng an 1S-cent rate between Whiting
and East st. Louis. Judge Anderson
ruled that the tariff sheet could not
be presented until the government
had shown that it was the rate pub
lished and filed with the interstate
commerce commission. The court said
that this was the vital point in the
case. The government declared that
proof of its publication would be pre-
sented later. Opening statements OF
the case were made by Mr.. Wilkerson
for the government and by Attorney
]. s. Miller for the defense. They
were brief. Mr.. Miller said that the
officers Of the oil company did not
know anything about the 1s-cent rate
that they simply took advantage o.
the lowest possible rate by building {
refinery at Whiting.
Judge Anderson formally sustained
the motion of the defenes that tn,
government proceed to trial on th'
theory that there we're only 36 alleged
offenses, each representing a settle
ment for shipment. This will max,
the maximum fine, If the defendant 4
convicted, S720,000.
