Special to The Daily Missoulian.
Helena, Feb. 25.-The legislative state
land inquiry committee resumed it's
hearing today and appointed a com
mitter of three to formulate a report
for submission to the general commit
tee.
w. N Noffsinger of Kalispell ad-
dressed the committee briefly. He
gave ii as his opinion that the lands
had been sold at a fair price to the
state and that the sale were legally
made.
II the sales were unconstitutional. he
gave il as his belief that the board
should not be censured for the res-
son that it is an executive body TO
carry out the instructions of the leg
islature and therefore no fault should
be found. Mr. Noffsnger said that
the statutes seemed to require the sale
of these tracts in 160-acre lots, so the
board in selling them complied with
both the letter and spirit of the law
by conveying to individual purchasers
of each 160-acre tract and by rlak-
ing the sales to no one in lump and
thereby obtained the maximum amount
as required by the statutes.

JUDGES VIEW OF UNIT OF Of
FENSE LIMITS POSSIBLE
STANDARD OIL FINE.
ACTION CAUSES SURPRISE
Position Taken by Anderson as to the
Number Of Offenses Upon Which
Big Trust May Be Penaized Cuts
Possible Penalty Down From $780,
100000 to a Small $72o,OUO

Chicago, Feb. 25.-From Judge Ian
dis fine of $29, 100000 to a possible
maximum fine of $72O0OO is admitted
to be the meaning of ruling made
today by Judge Anderson in the trial
of the Standard Oil company of In
diana for alleged rebating. The rul
ing was informal, but it almost cer-
tainly will stand. The court of ap-
peals in ruling out Judge Lands
great fine eliminated the view that
each carlot of oil on which a rebate
was accepted constituted a separate
offense. There We're 1,462 of these car
lots, the freight charges for which
were paid in SO different settlements.
Judge Anderson interpreted the deci-
sion, which he said served as his
guide, to imply that the alleged re-
bates accepted after each of the Sc
settlements constitute the unit of Of
fenSe.
Judge Anderson's ruling was a Sc
we're blow to District Attorney Sims.
He and his assistant, James H. Will
kerson, had figured that each of the
500 shipments, making a maximum of
$10000,000, constituted an offense.
This view, Judge Anderson declared,
he could not understand. He saw no
reason why, if a train load or carlot
were regarded as a separate offense,
the matter might not be further di-
vided, making a hundredWeight the
unit, or a gallon, greatly increasing
the number of offenses and magnify
ing the punishment
Mr.. Wilkerson argued that the fine
possible under the courts ruling would
serve merely as a license to a gre 1t
corporation. On this Judge Anderson
said in effect:
THAT is a consideration which has
no weight with me whatever. I am
not concerned with the effectiveness
of the statutes, but with their inter-
probation and application. If the view
that | have taken has the effect you
stated that is matter for the law
makers to consider. If their laws are
inadequate, get them to supply a
remedy"

Butte, Feb. 25.-Judge J. B. McCler-
nan made one Of the most important
decisions regarding the rights of in
corporated cities today that has been
given from the bench in recent years
The matter came up when a number
Of civil actions regarding the chang
ing of a grade on West Platinum
street were before jury for atten-
ton. A. c. Smiths suit was on trial
and it had been submitted on an ac-
tiOn for a non-suit The Judge took
the matter under adviSement over
night and this morning practically in
structed the jury to bring in verdict
for the plaintiff, which was done, in
the sum of $500 The two other suits
were tried during the afternoon and
the city lost upon the same showing
Of facts. Judge McClernan decided
that the ordinance which has been in
force in Butte since 1892 is unconsti-
tutional, as it takes away mn's prop
erty, damages him and allows him TO
recourse. "The matter will be taken
to the supreme court at once" re-
clared City Attorney Booth. "If the
ruling holds, every person in Butte
adjoining a street where the grade has
been changed has an action against
the city for damages and enough of
these suits may come in to bankrupt
us. I expect to have a decision upon
the matter within so days"
