Standard Oil Fines Under Ellxins Law
NIny BE Increased.

Buffalo, N. Y, Aug. 11.-An i'm
portant decision, under the Elkins re-
bate law, by which fines aggregating
$4,000, imposed upon the Standard
Oil Company, the Pennsylvania and
New York Central railroads may be
increased to $4,000.OOO against the
first named corporation, was handed
down by Judge Hazel, in the United
States Court here to-day. The fines
already imposed were for giving and
receiving rebates on shipments OF
oil from Olean, N. y, to Rutland and
Bellows Falls, Vt. The Standard Oh
Company was convicted and fined
$4,000, the conviction being affirm
eq upon appeal. The railroads plead.
ed guilty and were fined $55,00O,,
finally disposing Of the case so far as
they were concerned When United
States Attorney O'Brien and s. w.
Dempsey, special attorney, moved the
trial of another indictment against
the Standard Oil Company, based
upon the same series of alleged re-
bates, plea at bar" was entered.
The government took the position
that each shipment constituted sep-
arate offense.
Judge Hazel's opinion to-day up
holds this contention, the "plea at
bar" Is dismissed and the defendant
company Is required to plead to tho
Indictment at the next regular term
OF court. There are two untried in
dlctments against the Standard OH
Company, containing about 200
counts, each Of which is punishable
by fine OF $4,000.

Birds Picked Up Beneath Big Oak
Following Electrical Storm.
(Anderson Mail, 17th,O


Five hundred dead English SPAR
rows were picked up yesterday morn
ing beneath the large oak tree that
shades the we'll at the home of Miss
Mettie Todd, on South Main street,
just opposite the Orr Mills, follow
ing the rain and thunder storm OF
Tuesday afternoon and night.
1t is presumed that the birds were
killed by shock of electricity dur
ing the storm, but the tree does not
seem to have been injured in the
slightest. There was no loud clap of
thunder as near as the tree to the
house, and it was not known that
the birds had been slaughtered until
next morning.
For years past the big tree has
been the roosting place of hundreds
Of sparrows, and while many Of them
have been killed out from time to
time by shooting, they continued to
make it their home.
How the sparrows were killed and
every leaf Of the tree left apparently
uninjured is hard to explain.

Some Important Measures Enacted
During the Fifty-Day Session.

Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 1S.-The allot-
ted fifty days of the 1911 session Of
Georgia's Legislature were numbered
yesterday. The session was noted
among other things, for the election
of Governor Hoke Smith as United
States Senator and his determination,
despite some opposition, to retain the
governOrship until certain legislation
was accomplished. The reason given
by the Governor for his retention of
the office was his anxiety to see pass
ed an anti-lobbying bill, and. in this
he was satisfied
Other important events of the ses-
sion were:
Defeat Of bill by committee pro-
hibiting sale Of "near-beer;" passage
Of bill making possession of Federal
liquor license prima facie evidence of
conducting sale Of liquor; refusal to
admit women lawyers to bar; enact
ment of Georgia's first game and fish
law; making it possible for cities to
adopt commission form of govern
ment; proposal to remove capital to
Macon; creation Of office Of State
Auditor; creation Of department of
labor.
Final adjournment Of the session
was delayed because Of the opposi-
tion in the Senate to consideration
of certain appointments sent the SEN
ate by the Governor 1t was said
that the appointments might not be
confiremd at all.
