New Trial Of Famous
Standard Oil Case
Will Open This Morning LANDS
viii Not Preside.
What Constitutes a Offence Is Still
A mooted Question.

Chicago, Feb. 22.-The very life oil
trust-curbing legislation is said bs
government officials to be involved il
the re-trial of the governments indict-
ment of the Standard Oil Co. of Iu-
diana, for alleged rebating, which viii
be in before Judge Anderson in the
United States district court here to
morrow.
This is the case in which Judge Ian
dis, holding that each car lot Of oil on
which the Standard accepted All al
legged rebate constituted a separate Of
fence, inflicted his historic fine OF $o9
240, 00G.
In reversing this decision the court
of appeals in an opinion written firin-
cipally by Judge Grosscup held that
rebates on each car lot did not consti-
tute an Individual offence. From this
decision the government sought re-
view at the hands of the supreme court
on writ of certiorari, but following
precedent, this tribunal refused to
consider the case. Accordingly the de-
cision of the appellate court took eff
feet and the case was remanded for a
new trial. Judge Lands, averring
that his opinion as to the justice Of
his celebrated fine had not changed,
refused to preside at second trial.
but Judge Anderson was persuaded to
accept.
The new hearing will differ from the
old in one respect only. The govern
ment Will not contend that each car
lot constituted a violation of the law.
The appellate courts decision pre-
Cludes this. The governments counsel
will endeavor to convene the judge and
jury that each hipment-perhaps a car
lot, perhaps a train load-was an OF
fence. If successful in this line OF
argument, the judge may fine the de
PENDANT maximum of $4,000, 900 or {,
minimum of 100000 The defence, or
the other hand, will contend, it is said,
that the settlements of freight charges
constitute the alleged offences. or
this the government alleges there were
81, on which fines of from $4,000 To
s720,000 may be inflicted. Even the
maximum fine on this basis the gov
eminent declares would render the law
ineffective, because the maximum fig
ure woud be trivial compared with the
supposed earnings of the defendant
company. A no less vital question to
which careful attention will he given
is what constitutes proof of rebating.
On this point the appellate court found
fault with Judge Lands in the original
case
Today, despite the holiday. Districr
Attorney Edwin w. Sims, his special
assistant. James H. Wilkerson, and

RENEWED UNEAsiNEss

ported that Russia is demanding that
the powers make representations here

These reports so disturbed the
Bourse that an official statement was

that although the gravity of the situ-
alton cannot be denied, the rumors
that war is inevitable and had al
ready been decided upon are totally
devoid of foundation. No measures

A LIFE TERM
For President Partially Endorsed by
Gov. Fort Of New Jersey.

Chicago, Feb. 22-The Hamiltonian
idea of a life term for the President
of the United States found some ia
vnr with Governor John Franklin Fort
of New Jersey in his address at the
Washington day exercises of the I'm
ion League Club today and incidental
ly he rebuked California and Nevada
for what he termed their infringe
lnents on treaties of the national gov
eminent with foreign countries.
The governor said in part:
ut would seem to be true in our day
that the strength of the departments
of government are rather III an inverse
order of popular favor from that
which the fathers evidently expected.
More and more responsibility is being
placed on the Executive as the years
go on.
Hamilton declared in the conven-
ton which adopted our Constitution
that it would be better to give to the
Executive a life tenure because he
said there was more danger in a fixed
term than in permanent position.
''The foresight of Hamilton is ap-
parent to the thoughtful observer of
our day. The constant election Of
Executives compels them to declare
their osition to advocate specific
measures to pledge their support to
matters of public concern. The result
is that we are having thrust on the
executive departments of the nation
and state. responsibilities and demands
which were not dreamed Of in the ear
ly days Of the republic.
The legislative department is large
and the responsibility is diffused
among many members and each is in
clined to throw the blame on the other
fer the failure of legislation. The Ex-
ecutive is unable to do this; he stands
he stands and the people are inclined
to hold him responsible.
Whether this condition is good for
the republic is questionable, but 1t
demonstrates the truth of Hamilton )
statement that there is more danger in
short terms for the Executive than
was foreseen by the fathers"
