Plan is Formed to CurtaH the Output.
 Charlotte, N. C., Feb. 25.--In what was the largest attended and most en- thus,astic meeting for four years the Southern Hard Yarn Spinners' Asso- ciation met here today to consider the unsatisfactory condition of the hard yarn market and take. If possible, some protective steps.
 Curtailment was the only feasible plan suggested but 1t was the sense of the meeting that in view of failure of previous curtailment plans by reason of broken agreements, that noth- ing short of forfeiture clause would meet conditions
 A committee was appointed to for mulate plans of curtallment and re- port at called meeting to be held at an early date.
 It is understood that the plan will entail a cuftailment of 33 13 per cent for three months beginning March and that 1t will embrace 8 heavy forfeit for every violation of agreement and fur ther 1t will embody the appointment of & representative to see that the agree ment Is carried out by every mill in the Association.

SIMS LOSES HOPE
STANDARD WINS RULING FROM
 CHICAGO COURT
Means That Heavy Fine Imposed By Judge Landis VII Re Cut Down, Judge Anderson's Plain
 Speech.

Chicago. H.. Feb. 24-From Judge Landis's fine of $29.240,000 to a pos sible maximum fine of s72o.OOO is a far cry, but that is admitted to be the meaning of ruling made by Judge Anderson in the re-trial of the Stand ard oil Company of Indiana for al legged rebating today.
 The ruling was informal and made for the purpose of expediting the hear ing. and although the government has the privilege of presenting fur.he. ar will be no change In the ruling when 1t Is formally entered.
 Judge Andersons ruling was a se- were blow to United States District Attorney Sims and his assistants in the prosecution. He and his assistant. James II. Wilkerson. had argued that each shipment, of which there were 500. making possible a maximum fine of $10,000.000, constituted an offense. In this view Judge Anderson declared he could not concur. He said that 1t had not been made plain what com prised a shipments train load a car load or gallon. He saw no reason why if a train load. or a car lot. were regarded as separate offense. the matter might not be further divided. making hundred weight the unit or a gallon, greatly increasing the num- ber of offenses and magnifying the The division of alleged offense he said. seemed to fall natur- ally into thirty-six parts, or counts, each marked off by a money settle ment It was in these settlements that rebates, if any. were made and re- ceived.
 Mir wilkerson argued that the fine which would be possible under the courts ruling would serve merely as a license to a great corporation.
 A fine of s10.000.o00. 1t was believ- ed would suffice to indicate that the government has the power to deal effi with alleged corporate evils.
 Judge Anderson's ruling today. 1t is said, removes that hope.
 Washington. Feb. 25.-"Well that's one way of construing the law was the only comment Attorney-General Bonaparte would make when informed of Judge Anderson's expected intention to rule that the union of offenses in the Standard oil relating cases now up for trial In Chicago would be the &C., .ual settlement of freight charges be- .ween the parties concerned.
