Couldn't PAY $1,000

A well known Minot woman charg-
ed with conducting a public nuisance
is reported to have approached Judge
Dayis, asking him to reduce her bonds
from $1,000 to 5000 or thereabouts,
saying: "One thousand dollars is too
much Judge. l could never think of
paying it, but might be able to pay
5000" The Judge is reported to have
informed her that the county did not
desire to accept her money and the
bonds have not been reduced.

Dorrnan's 7 .Aleroplane
Attracts Attention

The Independent is in receipt of
letter from D. c. Dorman who is in
New York City with his model aero.
plane, which he has patented. Mr..
Dorman participated in the model aer-
oplane t1Ehts in New York City and
the following from the New York
Times concerning the exhibition which
Took place at the 22nd Reg. Armory,
will show what they think Of a Minot
mans invention down that way. Mr.,
DoFman very likely has an aeroplanc
that with proper care in; it's manufac-
ture, will be a winner Mr.. Dorman
informs the Independent that the
Waldorf Astoria is trying to complete
arrangements for an exhibit of air
ships at the hotel, and has asked him
to be there. In case arrangements
are completed he will not be back
Tor several days. before he can again
enjoy the pure air of Minot. He saws

Aeroplanes that really did fly oc-
cupied interest yesterday in the 22nd
Regiment Armory. and while the
tights were made by models only
In the first competition for the cups
offered by Automobilia and Flight,
and Leo. S. Stevens, the aeronaut,
the interest was none the less keen.
Models Of every description from CO.
pies of the leading biplanes and mon
oplanes to those which were on lines
of original design, were in evidence
on every side. There were also many
novelties, some of which did not
make attempts at flight, but which in
volved some clever ideas.
The most noteworthy machine of
this order was one built by Dewitt
Z. Dorman Of Minot, N. D. The fact
which at once presented itself was
the absence of planes. It was all pro-
peller, eight blades being attached to
the frame, and it was asserted that
it's possibilities far exceeded those of
the present day aeroplane. The own
er said that he believed his machine
was capable Of maintaining any speed
which the operator desired and that
it cou4u even hover over a given point
for any length of time In rising, he
said, 1t could go straight up without
moving along the ground, and this
he considered to be the essential of
any aeroplane which could ever be
OF commercial value in crowded plac-
es. AS yet he has not made a per-
feet working model, and will not at
tempt to do SO for some little while.
The machine was Of considerable in
terest as It embodied principles which
had never before been brought into
play in aerial navigation. It was stat:
ed by the owner that a number Of
scientific men had commended him
highly on his machine, which is pat
ented.

STANDARD OIL VICTORY
Judge Mccall Orders Verdict OF
NOT Guilty in Tennessee.
NO FINE OF s3o.OOO,000
Sult Probably Most Important
one Against Big Corporation
Ever Fought in South.

9dChsoh Tenn. Nov t7-In q ruling
Whlch required Just twenty minutes TO read.
Jud-e John E. Mccall in the United States
eiretilt court. his afternoon wrote fnis 70
the efforts Of the government to have as
sessed against the Standard oil Company
q Indiana Penalties aggregating in excess
Of $4,000 coo.
Inc rulings Of the court instructing that
verdict Of not guilty be returned came
with the close of the chief case Of the
prosecution and in substance holds with
the contentious OF the defence that after
four years the United States had failed to
build its structure Of evidence other than
on sand.
The suit at issue was probably the most
important litigation against one Of the
greater corporations ever fought ont in
the South. The EIkins law. regarding in
terstate commerce was violated. it was
alleged. through scheme and device. the
specific offence charged being the receiving
OF freight rate concessions
Judge Mccall, in his ruling. first reviews
the Indictment allegations Next he takes
up the testimony presented as tending to
prove that the consignments which formed
the basis for the suit were shipped Oh
orders received from the Standard Oil Com
panv of Kentucky BY the defendant COM
panv from their refinery at whiting, Ind,
to Grand Junction. Tenn. ''for beyond ,"
with freight charges prepaid to Grand
Junction and there taken possession OF ny
the Kentucky corporal ton.
Also Judge Mccall points out that the
testimony presented tends to prove that
there was no understanding expressed o.
IMPLIED. direct or indirect" between the de-
fendant company and the Kentucky com
rarv with regard to rates to be paid. that
it was solely a business transaction be
tween two corporations. On this statement
OF facts, Judge Mccall recalled he ruled
early in the trial that the Indiana COM
pany should not DO held accountable for
