OIL
WINS CASE
Will Not be Compelled to Pay
S2O,OOO,OOO Fine

CHICAGO. March, 10.-The $29,-
600, 900 fine imposed by Judge Land
is on the Standard Oil company for
violations of the interstate commerce
law was completely wiped out today
when Judge Anderson ruled that
there was a fatal variance between
the evidence adduced in the case,
and the counts contained in the in
dictment against the company. and
granted a motion made by the de-
Tense instructing the jury to bring
in a verdict of acquittal.
The prosecution had feen busily
engaged in adducing evidence in sup
port OF the allegation contained in
the indictment ever since the trial
was commenced under Judge Ander-
son in pursuance to an order of the
supreme court directing a new trial
in the case. and the decision OF the
Government Attorney Wilkinson was
reached today when the court made
its ruling that there was a fatal var
lance between the evidence and the
allegations of the indictments. The
government attorney asked the court
II it was to be understood by his rul-
ing that 1t would be impossible to
convict on the evidence so far pre-
sented. and the court replied In the
affirmative. There is no use going
on then, said the attorney. and then
announced the government rests its
case. The attorneys for the defense
Immediately made a motion that the
jury be instructed by the court to re-
turn a verdict OF acquittal. The
court then explained that # based its
ruling on the ground that there was
a fatal variance between the evidence
and Indictment. and granted the mo-
lion. and the famous Judge Lands
s29 100000 case was completely
wiped out existence.

today to declare himself on the ''in-
surgent movement to revise the
house rules. automatically. he
sidestepped announcing how he stood
but In doing SO he missed luncheon
and about half OF the concert Of
Nine. Games, which he was sched-
nled to attend in company with Mrs.
Taft and their guests.
Representatives Payne Of New
York. chairman OF the committee on
ways and means, sought the support
Of Mr. Taft for the existing order Of
things, and the insurgent case was
advocated by Representative Gard
ner Of Massachusetts,. Represents
tive Madison OF Kansas and Repre-
sentative Nelson Of Wisconsin.
The visit OF the ''insurgent' dele
cation consumed most OF the after
noon. The three insurgents heard ii
charged that Mr.. Taft intended TO
join hands with the house delega-
ton In the interest OF getting the
tariff bin through quickly. Greatly
disturbed, they hurried to the White
House 10 see Mr.. Taft and get him
TO announce his position and leave
the flghting to them. When they
came out OF the executive Offices
Representative Gardner declared
with an exhibition Of confidence that
the insurgents" were no longer IN
a compromising mood.
We are firmly impressed that
President Taft is not opposed 70

Representative Madison tried to
show the president that there was no
such danger In the tight they were
conducting. He said he had told MIR.
Taft that he and his colleagues wure
not disposed to interfere with The
continuance OF the plans OF the waya
and means committee and he thought
he could promise that no objection
would be made 10 the continuance OF
the old committees on any subject
on which the president felt inclined
TO ask for legislation at the present
session.
The insurgents also promised
that they would not fiIibuster against

promises. Mr.. Madison said. he did
not mean that the fight would be

insurgents would wait until the

COURT DISTRICT
WITHOUT JUDGE
When Gov. Brady Signs Eighth
Judicial District Bill

| Considerable discussion is being
INDUCED in with relation to the con-
sequences that will result in the
event Governor Brady, as he has in
dieated that he will, signs the bill
creating new judicial district, to be
known as the Eighth Judicial dis
trict of Kootenai and Bonner coun-
ties on March 1 5, whether in such an
event those counties Will be left with
out judge until an election is held,
or whether Judge Woods will still re-
tain jurisdiction over the counties
legal business. The general opinion
prevailing among the lawyers seems
to be that when the bill Is signed by
Brady that a new judicial district
will come into existence, that Judge
Woods will cease to any longer ex-
ercise jurisdiction over it and that
unless Governor Brady appoints
judge that it will be without one un-
til an election is held.
Bar Members Give Opinions.
Robert Elder-"In my opinion If
Brady signs the bill new judicial
district will be created, and Judge
Woods will cease to exercise juris-
diction over 1t, and it will be left
without a judge until an election.
believe that under the general law
a governor has the power to appoint
a judge until an election is held, and
also that in the event that one is not
appointed that for an extraordinary
proceeding a litigant may have ac-
cess to the courts of adjoining coun-
ties, or the supreme court
Prosecuting Attorney Potts.-'My
opinion is that the district will be
left without a judge until an election
is held. The governor | think has
the power to appoint a judge to fill
the place until the election is held
| do not think that even though the
governor should not appoint Judge
during this time that litigation will
sufter much as an election will be
held in the course of a couple of
months, and during the mean time
litigant can resort to the court of
an adjoining county, or the supreme
court for an extraordinary process"
Henry P. Knight have not
given the bill a careful reading, but
| am working on the theory that the
district, when the bill is signed by
Brady, will be without a Judge until
an election, and ! am anticipating
such a condition of affairs and am
arranging my legal work. securing
all necessary orders and processes
now from Judge Wood"
John NJ. Flynn have not in
vestigated the matter fully, but my
opinion is that when the bill is
signed by the governor that a new
judicial district will be created, and
that Judge Wood will cease to exer-
else Jurisdiction over it, and it will
be without a judge"

an investigation of the matter it is
my opinion that the district will be
left without a Judge until an cleo
ton is held. The bill when signed

today.

The case is probably the most IA
