JUDGE ANDERSON FREES THE
STANDARD OIL CORPORATION
The Company Free From All Fear Of The Repetition Of The Gan
tic Fine Judge nstucts Jury To AGQuf

Chicago, March 11-Judge Ander-
son decided to instruct the jury In the
Standard Oil case to find the COM
pany not guilty.
The decision of the court was an
nounced at the close of argument by
Assistant District Attorney Wilker-
son, AMI the jury was Immediately
summoned and instructed to return a
verdict of not guilty. This means
that all but two of the pending in
dictments against the Standard Oil
company of Indiana are void and will
be abandoned by the government.
The two cases not affected by the de-
cision are cases involving the ship
ment of 1915 carloads of oil from
Whiting, Ind, to Evansville, Ind,
over the Chicago & Eastern Illinois.
The question whether or not the
celebrated case should be continued
hinged on the introduction AS evil
dence of tariff "a in the application to
the Illinois classification issued in
1899, making rate of 10 cents on oil
from Whiting, Ind. to East st. Louis,
and which attorneys for the defense
contended had been superseded by
later classification.
Judge Anderson in a Is minutes
discussion of the case to the jury ex-
planned his position, and announced
that if the case was to go to the jury
and verdict of guilty was returned
he could do nothing but set aside the
verdict. There is absolutely nothing
upon which a conviction in this case
could stand before any court in this
country" the court said in conclud-
ing his charge to the jurors. THE
government has failed to prove its
contention that the Is cent rate was
the lawful rate between Whiting and
East st. Louis and the defendant had
wilfully accepted a lower rate, and
there is therefore nothing to do but
for the jury to bring in a verdict of
not guilty"
The prosecution, which has ended
in failure after having once been
tried by Judge X. M. Lands. whose
decision was reversed by the court of
appeals and the case remanded to the
district court for a second trial. had
its beginning Aug. 81, 1906, when the
indictments were returned against
the company.

ON ADVERTISING
Says That The News Should Take
Business From Whatever
Source it Comes.
New York, March 9, 1909.

Ny Dear Mr.. Beatty:
| have read with considerable in
terest your interview l. The News
with Mr.. March, of Lexington, on the
subject of outside advertising, and
also your supplementary remarks
thereto.
As one who has pronounced views
on the general subject of advertising
and the ethics controlling advertiser
and publisher, would like to say
that i'll my opinion the publisher owes
no more loyalty to the advertiser than
the advertiser owes to the publisher
1t is a fair business proposition all
the way round, what the publisher
having to sell being no less a market
able ware or product than the goods
of the advertiser. As for the senti-
ment that the publisher should give
the advertisers of his own bailiwick,
preference to the exclusion of outside
advertisers is not tenable on any
grounds of business consideration.
1t is the duty, however, fthe pub
Usher not to give a better rate to
outside advertisers, as Is the case
with some country editors. Make an
equal rate for all and sell to the adj
vertisers who want to buy. The ad-
vertiSers conduct their business on
those lines and why not the pub
Usher? Would any merchant in Win
chester, for example, decline to sell
goods to any resident of Paris, Lex
ington, Mt. Sterling or Richmond? He
would not, and by the same token,
why should the publisher sell his
wares only to the home advertiser?
He should not

people, but feel like it is time for

Brer Roosevelt has gone into retire
ment.
As a side-lime remark, | should al
so like to commend the action of the
base ball authorities in cutting out
Sunday playing. There may be a
great many people who would like to
see a game on Sunday, but the better
sentiment of the community is against
it and if base ball can not exist ex-
cept in opposition to the better sen
timent, it had better perish.
With best wishes for the continued
prosperity of The News, / am
Very sincerely,

opinion, and if you want to make it
public you may do So. ! shall write

ces to r. r. The News is a blamed

MINORITY IS
APPREHENSIvE
Democrats Fear Power of Speaker
Cannon and Believe He Will
Ignore Leader.

Washington, March II. ~ '1nsur-
gents" and Democrats were indnlging
in much speculation at the capitol as
to what would be the policy of Speak
er Cannon in selecting the commit
tees of the next house. in tho event
he is successful in the present fight
over the organization of the house In
the Sixty-1rst congress.
The. Democrats are apprehensive
that the speaker will assume the
right to fill the minority as well as
the majority places on the commit
tees. Several Democrats have ap-
pealed to the speaker directly for ap-
pointment on certain committees.
When John Sharp Williams was mi
nority leader Speaker Cannon refer
red all such applications to the mi
nority leader. He has taken no such
action this time. Minority Leader
Clark's friends say he can interpret
this course of action in but one way.
Another possibility that is worrying
both the Democrats and the ''insur-
gents" is that Speaker Cannon may
classify the insurgents" as minority
members of the house and make up
committees on that basis That would
reduce the Democratic representation
on the committees and might prove
embarrassing to the insurgents" In
the future.
Minority Leader Clark had a con-
ference with Representatives Nelson
and Gardner of the insurgents" All
claimed afterwards that the fight on
the rules is not to be abandoned. and
it was denied that the Democrats and
insurgents" have entered into an
agreement as to voting for any spe-
cific rule.
According to present plans, the
Democratic caucus is to be hell next
Monday, before the house convenes,
and will adopt q resolution in favor
of carrying out the pledge Of the Den
yer platform to reduce the power of
the speaker. 1t is understood that
members will not be pledged to any
specific amendment, however.
The opposition of a large number
of Democrats to the election Of a
committee to select the house COM
mittees will probably defeat that plan
of the insurgents" If an opportunity
arises to consider that amendment on
the floor. The proposition to have
the committee on rules elected by the
house and barring the speaker from
the committee will have more support
from the Democratic side.

MANY IMPROVEMENTS
IN A BUSINESS BLOCK
Mr.. Matt Bean Has Changed and
Added to Old Brick Building
Made Modern Offices.

Probably In no other section of
Winchester is there more enterprise
and business being shown by one
man as there is by Mr.. Matt Bean,
one of Winchester most energetic
young business men, at his place on
Lexington avenue.
Mr.. Bean has just converted the
first floor Of the brick building adj
joining his Office into one of the most
physician and dentists Of
fees to be found anywhere. The
rooms will be occupied by Drs. Wal
ter and Howard Lyon and are about
completed and they will move into
them about the first of next week.
The plan of the rooms and the fix
lures, light, plumbing and heating is
particularly designed for the purpose
that they will be used for.
The building has been divided by
an eight foot hall with four rooms
on each side. The first room will be
used as Il reception room, the second
room will be used by DIR. Walter
Lyon, dentist, and the third will be
used as a consultation room and the
fourth as an operating room. Each
room except the reception room is
furnished in white and puts up the
Of first class hospital.
Mr.. Bean is now negotiating with
several contractors to add another
story to the building and make a
first class fiat building. Work on
this will begin with the next month or
six weeks.
The automobile garage that is To-
Gated on the opposite side of the
building, isthe latest metropolitan en-
terprise to be added to Winchester
by Mr.. Bean assisted by Mr.. Owens.
This consumes nearly all of the build
ing and basement that was formerly
occupied by Mr.. Beams carriage man
ufacturing concern. Between the au-
tomobile garage and the fire depart
ment is one of the most up-to-date
and best bowling alleys in the State.
As soon as the weather permits Mr..
Bean will put in a twelve foot con
crete sidewalk connecting with the
one in front Of the fire department
and continuing to Court street.
I'm the rear of these buildings
where there has been a public dump
for the past fifteen years, Mr.. Bean
has had all the trash cleared away,
some grading done and pipes laid to
carry off the surplus water to the
town sewer.
Together with the many other in
drstries carried on in this business
little block, Mr.. Bean still conducts
his carriage End harness business,
which is one of the Oldest and best
established businesses in Winches-
ter. Mr.. Bean handles all the latest
and best makes of vehicles and har-
ness from a hame string to the finest
of Pioue harness.
