STANDARD OIL FINED FOR RE-
BATTING.
Pennsylvania and New York Central
Also Found Guilty-Fine Against
Standard Oil May Be Increased.

Buffalo, n Y, Aug. 11.-An inn
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 $4,000,000 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 and Bellows Falls, VT.
The Standard Oil Company was con-
victed and fined $4,000, the convic-
ton bein gafirmed upon appeal. The
railroads pleaded guilty and were
fined 1000, finally disposing of the
case so far as they were concerned.
When United States Attorney
O'Brien and S. Wallace Dempsey,
special attorney, moved the trial OF
another indictment against the Stan
dard oiltCompnay, based upon the
same series of alleged rebates, plea
at bar" was entered. 1t was argued
that the act of paying the rebate was
the essential part of the offense and
as the alleged offense in the pending
! Indictment was covered by payment
| for which the company already had
| been fined, it should not again be
| placed in jeopardy.
The Government took the position
that each shipment constituted a sep
arate offense.
Judge Hazel's decision to-day up
held this contention, the 'plea Of
bar" is dismissed and the defendan
company at the next regular term o
court. There are two untried indict
ments against the Standard contain
ing about 400 counts, each Of which
is punishable by fine OF $4,000.

Democratic Leader Underwood and
Representative Ollie James. Of Ken
tucky. who have been close friends.
became involved In a heated exchange
OF words In the discussion OF q bill
providing for the Improvement Of
Black Warrior River In Dir. Under
woods disctrict. Both men withdrew
their remarks and the incident was
amicably closed.
The bill provided for the building
OF dam 10 improve navigation on
the river. The construction OF the
dam would create a large amount Of
water power, the rights TO which. un-
der the bill, would be leased for fifty
years TO the Birmingham (Alabama)
Light and Power Company.
Mr.. James and others opposed this
provision, asserting the term of the
lease was too long. Mr.. Underwood.
declaring that he cared nothing about
the water power feature of the bill,
but was much interested in the nayi-
CATION feature, said that if the bill
were held up work on the Black War
rior would 60 ahead as originally
contemplated at an expense Of nearly
s25O,0OO more than the proposed
dam would cost.
Mr.. James asked if it was fair 10
he af
the bill, giving half century lease
to a corporation without limitation
of it's charges to consumers, certain
work would be done, costing the gov
crnment 100000 more than if the
right were given away.

Mr.. James responded that he would

that he spoke under provocation
withdrew his remarks. Mr.. Jane!

THE COTTON CROP SUFFERS.
Excessive Heat Causes Crop In Texas
To Shed-An Excess Of Moisture
Causes Trouble I'm Alabama and

Memphis. Tenn. Aug. 1.-THE
Commerciai-Appeai Tomorrow will
say:
Deterioration OF more or less Sc
rious nature In the cotton crop Is re-
ported from Texas and parts Of Mis-
sissippi and Alabama. Elsewhere
the crop has done well with local ex-
ceptions
The decline In Texas, which has
occurred In central. northern and
western counties. is the result OF ex-
cessiye heat and two weeks without
rain following a act period during
which the plant grew rapidly. She'd
ding and worms form the basis Of
the complaints. The heat has re-
duced the activities OF worms bat in
creased the shedding which has In
places been severe. There are some
reports from this State which say the
crop Is still holding up and that the
alarm is over-stated.
The trouble In Alabama and Mis-
sissippi arises from an excess OF mois-
ture which has made q rank stalk
growth and caused some shedding Of
the stalk and from worms which are
numerous In some fields. The disap-
pointment resulting from this turn In
Affairs has produced . feeling that
perhaps the crop prospect had been
over-estimated.

Congress may or may not adjourn
soon. When Congress. which was
called into special session By the
President for the purpose of passing
upon the reciprocity measure with
Canada. had performed that duty, IL
was known to every one that all had
then been done that could be accom-
plished at this session OF Congress.
Congress would then have adjourned
had 1t not been for the desire OF the
Democrats, who had secured the
House, to try TO make campaign cap
ital for the Presidential election next
year At once the Democratic lead
ers in Congress began 10 prepare pop
gun tariff bills, which they did not
expect to become laws. and no doubt
which they hoped would not become
laws, so that in the next campaign
. they could draw pictures Of what
great benefits would have resulted il

Their Plans Exposed.
This Democratic program worked
| beautifully and to the satisfaction oi
/ the Democratic leaders until it be-
came known that the Republican in.
surgents in the Senate had decided te
/ offer to stand with the Democrats ir
the Senate to pass these bills IL the
Democrats were in earnest. This at
/ titude on the part of the Republican:
caused more or less CONSERVATION
among the Democratic leaders.
1t is generally talked here, and in
deed has been commented upon b,
the leading papers of the countr,
that Mr. Underwood and his commit
tee had hoped to be/permitted to of
fer their tariff reduction bills with al
assurance to the cotton mill men o
the South that they were doing 1t TO
political capital, and that they die
not mean to pass such measures. Th'
New York Tribune, in a column edi
torial, squarely makes this charg'
and expresses a kind of pleasure tina
the Democrats were caught in thei
own trap.

The Presidents Attitude.

But no matter if the wool and 9TH
er tariff reduction bills prepared by
the Democratic party, should pass
Congress, it is certain that the Presi-
dent would veto them on the
ground that he had asked Congress
not to undertake a revision of the
important schedules of the tariff un-
til the tariff board authorized by
Congress to gather the facts as to
the difference IN the cost of produc-
tion here and abroad could officially
be laid before Congress.
The Presidents position is that the
reductions in the Democratic bills
may be too high or too low; that lit
is simply plunge in the dark. and
that party that is charged with leg
islating for the welfare Of the whole
country should not rife with impor-
tant matters entirely without a
knowledge of the facts. 1t is safe
to say that the Presidents position
will meet with the approval Of the
people of the whole country.
