NAVY LEAGUE is PRAISED
BY PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
General Horace Porter Receives Let
ter of Commentator from
Chief Executive

NEW YORK. March president
Roosevelt has addressed the following
telegram to Gen. Horace Porter, pres
ident of the Nevy league, in connection
with the part the league took in the
recent reception of the returning bat
tleships at Hampton Roads:
1.-THE return of the fleet in even bet
ter condition than when it sailed, after
a voyage literally unprecedented. must
be matter of just pride to every pa
triotic American.
Il wish all success to the Navy
league, that ii will work successfully for
the creation of a public sentiment
which will insist that the governmental
representatives of the public in both
legislative and executive departments
build up the navy and keep it at the
highest point of efficiency.
1--WE mead a thorough understanding
by the public on an American naval
policy, including such elevating knowl-
edge as will prove the folly of at
tempting to divide the battle fleet be-
tween the Atlantic and Pacific and will
condemn without reserve those short
sighted men who oppose the navy and
the security it affords and seek to
make us build only small ships of an
outgroWing type"

RETRIAL OF STANDARD
OIL CASE REALLY BEGUN
Actual Taking of Testimony Is Conn.,
menced in Court at
Chicago

CHICAGO. March 1.-The taking of
testimony in the retrial of the case
against the Standard Oil company of
Indiana was begun today before Judge
Anderson.
Frederick S. Holland, formerly chief
rate clerk of the Chicago & Alton rail-
road, testified in regard to the meth
DDS used in the company's office in
making rates and in making copies of
tariffs to shippers.
The government contends the pub
lished lawful rate on oil between GER
tain points over the Chicago 81 Alton
was IS cents, while the oil company
paid only cents.
Assistant District Attorney Wilker-
son attempted to introduce in evidence
the tariff sheets showing an 1S-cent
rate between Chicago and East st.
Louis.
Judge Anderson ruled that the tariff
could not be presented till the govern
ment had shown it was the rate pre-
scented and filed with the interstate
commerce commission. The government
said the proof would be presented later.
