Government DSES CASE
STANDARD G VERDICT
Court Instructed jury ID Return Verdict Of Not
Gully Against The D COmpany-Gov
eminent Gave 10 Contest

Special to the Herald.
Chicago, March 1o.-A verdict of
not guilty was returned today in the
case of the government against the
Standard Oil company, charged with
violating the EIkins law. In the
first trial of the case before Federal
Judge Lands the oil company was
convicted and fined $2s,4oo,ooo by
Judge Lands. 1t is now probable that
all indictments against the oil COM
pany will be quashed. The outcome
of the present trial is heavy blow
to the government in its antitrust
prosecutions, and is also heavy
blow to the effectiveness of the Ell
kins law.
A great crowd appeared in the fed
eral court room today, anticipating
that Judge Anderson would dismiss
the case against the Standard. 1t
was admitted that if the governments
proof of the intent of the Standard to
violate the rebate laws was not suffi-
cient to secure verdict against the
company then the attorneys for the
government were ready to admit
their defeat. However the govern
ment attorneys began an argument
this morning to show that the All

LONG DRAWN OUT TRIAL
Believed the Case of the Coopers
Will Not Go to the Jury Be-
fore Next Week.
Special to the Herald.

Nashville, Tenn, March 10.-Such
long speeches are being made in the
closing of the Cooper trial that it is
not now believed McCarn will be
able to start his concluding speech
before Saturday. Judge Hart will
likely take a day to prepare his in
structions to the jury, and the case
will probably not reach the jury be-
fore next week. Garner is making
the argument for the state today, and
will probably not conclude in time to
allow Washington to speak for the
defense before tomorrow.

ing that the government finally de-
cided to abandon the case, and the
decision came after Judge Anderson
dismissed all counts referring to ship
metlts of oil from chappeIIe, Ill. Pros
ecutor WiIkerson asked the court if
on the evidence presented thus far
in the case it would be impossible to
secure verdict of guilt. The court
answered "Yes." "Then there is no
use in going ahead" answered Will
kerson. The defense Immediately
moved for verdict of acquittal. The
court called the jury from the room
while this move was passed, and
later instructed the jury to return a
verdict of not guilty.

OF GREATEST FIGHT

right as he danced back. rushed
in after him, hitting with my left

he back heeled me clearly. The
back heel is delivered by catching
man as he comes in, putting your
left arm around his body, your
right forearm across his throat and
your right heel behind his left
Then with sudden heave you can
throw him over on his back. This
was the trick that Kilrain worked
on me for the first fall of the bat
tie, and the crowd roared.
LAS l was going to my corner, l
said to him:
So you want to wrestle, do
you? Well, I'll give you enough of
that
I'm the next round l got to his
body with a couple of hard rights
and took nasty left under the eye
as the round opened. Then, seeing
a chance, l grabbed him around the

cheers as We went to our corners

third round, and it would have been
better for him if | had. 1t hap

for little while, me anxious for
another chance to get my hands on
him. He knew he had no show
when it came to wrestling, and was
careful not to close. He was max
ing pretty good play with his left
to my face. After he had landed
a few. times l slipped one of those
leads and he drew back, thinking
that | was going to close. Instead,
brought my right over his arm
as hard as / could and it landed
full on his jaw. He went down like
a 10 pin and rolled over His sec

to his corner, while the crowd was
roaring for Sullivan, Sullivan

enough to tell the whole fight round

lost in fire some years ago, SO
will have to go slow.
1T was a hard fight. Sometimes
he back heeled me or cross but
locked me for a fall, but round
after round ended in his going
down from a blow or a throw. His
face was badly cut and his body
bruised by the time we reached the
twentytifth round, and my nose
and left eye were swollen.
Il was playing for his heart at
the time and every time he led out
with his left l tried my hardest to
land him in that same spot again,
under the heart. Constant pound
ing on any one spot is the most
weakening form of attack and his
flesh on that spot for a place maybe
six inches square was cut and
bruised by the thirtieth round.

for a dozen rounds or more, and |

flesh and skin were pounded loose
from the ribs, and that part that ]
had been pounding was hanging
like tumor.

game, and he certainly showed it
that day, though he was literally
beaten to a pulp, he came back
round after round for more. He
could not hit hard enough to hurt
me any more, but he came out OF
his corner with the call, only to be

ried back.
"Of course the betting had been
coming my way all the time in the
latter part of the fight, and by this
time no one would bet a nickel on

they saw that a gallant fighter was

MORE JEFF DOPE

LOS ANGELES, Feb. Slim
Jeffries is talking more fight at
present than he has for months
past. He stated that in the event
that he should reenter the ring it
would be as champion and he
would dictate the terms of the
contest to Jack Johnson, the cham
pion by virtue of his defeat of
Burns. The dope is credited to
the press agents of JEFF, who have
taken him in tow and who will
boost his theatrical work during
the life Of his present contract.

ONLY HUNGER
STOPS GAME

Some people regard a game of
indoor baseball as a tame affair,
but the one yesterday between the
Skaters and the Vollmanns at the
S. A. A. c. was as exciting as any
game in the outdoor sport. For
IL innings it was nip and tuck and
hunger finally brought the pro-
tracted contest to a close with a
score of to z.
The Vollmanns looked like the
winners in the ninth with score
of to 4, but the Skaters tied them
and in the 18th the Vollmanns
again took the lead with two runs.
only to have the score again tied.
The work of Eddie Winebrenner as
umpire on the bases was RESPONSE
bic for a good share of the success
of the game, as he did great work
and kept down the nagging and
dispute which would have arisen
ordinarily In a holly contested
game. Kiesaw was the other UNI
pire. The battery for the Voll-
MAINS was Cooke and Barnes and
for the Skaters was Slater and
Single. The Vollmanns are still
one game in the lead and the tie
will be played off only in the event
of a tie at the close of the series.
The game between the Bank
sons and the Hartsons was of the
farce comedy order with farce
comedy score in favor of the Bank
sons. Just how big it was doesn't
matter. Seven innings was enough
to satisfy the fans.
