TRUST
ON TRIAL
AGAIN
Standard Oil Case to Be
Heardby JudseAnder-
son of indianapolis

Chicago, Feb. 2S.--A bitter skirmish
signalized the opening Of the re-trial
of the Standard OIL Company of In
Jiana for alleged rebating today Judge
Anderson had been on the bench but q
few moments when John g. Miller, one
of the defense, electrified those pres
ent by fling motion to quash the
venire of $50 men on grounds that 1t
had been improperly drawn. Sixty per
cent of the yenire are farmers; only
three arc residents of Chicago and but
sixteen live in Cook county, which con-
tains two-thirds Of the population with
in the courts Jurisdiction.
Surprise was plainly visible on the
face of District Attorney Sims when
Mr. Miller called attention to the per-
covered, however, and sharply opposed
the motion.
Chicago. Feb. 23.-The second trial
OF the Standard OH company OF In
diana on the charge of rebatipg in
connection with shipments OF oil from
Whiting. Ind. to East st. Louis. open
ed in the federal district court today

ported to hear the historic case after
Judge K. M. Lands and Judge Sol H.
Bethea had refused to have anything
to do with II. This is the case In
which Judge Lands imposed fine
Of s29,240,000 on the first conviction.
The fine was reversed by the court
of appeals and the case remanded for
a new trial. The court room held
lair sized crowd OF persons anxious
TO see the wheels Of the great trial
set in motion, and attorneys who hop
ed to profit by the maneuverings or
the lawyers in the case. 1t was seen
at once from the early questioning of
the Jurors that 1t would take at least
two DAYS to fill the box. The men
called were mostly farmers from
northern Illinois-men or the same
tyne that found verdict OF guilty In
the first trial. District Attorney Sims
announced that no delay would be
caused by the government In present
ing It's case Assistant District At
torney WIlkerson took charge OF the
preliminary work The bulk OF wit
nesses and the documentary evidence
Will be the same as was presented IN
The other trial. Nearly all of the Wit
nesses have been subpoenaed and 100
veniremen have been summoned
The defense was represented by At
torneys John S. Miller. Alfred ID.
Eddy and Chauncey Martyr. 1t is
expected that Wilkerson Will make
his opening statement OF the govern
ment's case on Thursday. Mr.. Sims
refused to disclose the intended pro-
cedure OF the government In the
technical points involved.
Judge Anderson this afternoon ruled
that the venire was improperly drawn.
A now one must be summoned which
is said to mean an indefinite delay In
hearing the case.

the imperial party TO Seoul. Prince
Ito said that he had observed condi-
tions very closely and, speaking di-
rectly to the Koreans who formed the
major part of his audience, said that

the Japanese and no matter how 1rk-
some 1t appeared. 1t was the high duty
of Japanese to help Korea and in so
doing preserve and safeguard the
peace Of the far east.
The prince declared that the weak
ness and helplessness or Korea were
obvious to any impartial observer
While the Koreans would refuse to ad-
nit this. very naturally. be said. the
fact remained that there was no hope
for the empire without the protection
of Japan. This, Prince Ito announc-
ed. would be the substance OF his re-

Japan.
Both the emperor who is in splen-
did health and spirits since his return

that In his own efforts toward the po-
Iitical salvation of the country he de-
sired the aid and cooperation OF the
