Largest Judgment Ever En

Today.

ONE INDICTMENT
Indiana Concern Is Nominal De
fendant But Court Alms Blow
Direct at Parent Oil Trust.
Appeal tWill Be
Taken.
Chicago, 111., August 3. Judge
Landis in the United States district
court today, imposed a tine upon the
.Standard OH company of Indiana, of
$2!), 240, 000, the maximum amount
xipon each one of the 1,462 counts of
the Indictment on which that com
pany was recently convicted of i-t-i '.
ing. The Judge recommend j 1
call be Issued for a special gratia jury
to consider the other party to the
rebating operations of which the
standard Oil comipany was found
Kuilty, and It is therefore probable
that within a short time, proceed
ings will be commenced against the
Chicago & Alton Railroad company
for an alleged commission of similar
offenses.
Defense Overruled.
The court room was packed to Its
utmost capacity while Judge Landis
-was rradii-S Ills iivcyjh:
The defense .had contended that
the Klklns law authorized the pros
ecution for but one offense, and
maintained that there could be a con
viction on only one count. The court
held that the law Is violated every
time any property Is so transported
as a legal rate was established by
the railroad company on a carload
jot basis.
To the defendant's claim that rep
resentations by the Alton had misled
the Standard Into a sincere belief
that the Alton six cent rate had been
filed with the Interstate commerce
commission, the court held that as
JUDGE L.VNDIS.
the law required the carrier to keep
a schedule ut ita freight otlice for
vulilic liisiectio-n, it was the defend
ant's duty lo ascertain at the rail
road's ollioos whether the rate was so
Jiied.
Six t ent liute Illegal.
As to the evidence offered by ths
defendant to the effect that during
tlia period covered by the Indictment,
the Chicago and Eastern Illinois rali
road published an open rate uf 6
cents from Wheeling to East JSt.
I.ouis, the court said that this fact
should be considered in mitigation,
if title, but he found from an exami
nation of the Eastern Illinois sched
ules that this rate was not tiled with
the interstate commerce commission
until one year after the expiration of
the period covered by the indictment,
and nearly three years after its is
sue, and so it coull not serve t lie
purpose of excusing or palliating the
acceptance by the defendant of the
uni.t.Wul Alton six cent rate.
l.urK-t JKver .w-.s-l.
Tills is the largest tine ever as-s.-.-s...l
hi the history of any court,
and it uas made a record breaker for
the sake of punishing the oil trust.
Any smaller tine, Judge Landis be
lieves, would not have been a suiil
ilent punishment fir the gigantic cor.
lratlou. He believes the object of
lws is to preent crime, and when
I I j y,
s.
' i
AS
crime Is committed, the punishment
should be great enough to be a fu
ture warning.
The Standard was convicted of re
ceiving 1,462 rebates from the Chi
cago & Alton road. The trial lasted
six weeks.
The indictment was the largest one
in the history or the federal courts
fseven other Indictments, contain
ing In all 2,000 counts, are pending
trial.
standard Oil attorneys say they
will appeal the case to the hlghes
court.
Aimed at Oil Trust.
Technically the fine Is Imposed on
the standard Oil company of Indiana
Practically it is to be paid by the
standard of New Jersey. This was
demonstrated In the hearing In whVn
John D, Rockefeller recently testl
fled.
Tt wa there stated that the Stand
ard of New Jersey was the parent of
the Indiana concern. The latter is
the best paying of Its subsidiary
companies. Its capital Is $1,000,000".
$'., OOO on Kadi Count.
When, under the Indictment se
cured a year ago, the standard Oil
company of Indiana was found guilty
of violating the anti-rebate law, the
fixing of the tine for that offense de
volved upon Judge Landis, and as he
had a free hand in assessing any fine
between $1,000 and $20,000 on each
of the 1,462 counts In the indictment,
he was confronted with a rather ditll
cult proposition. Ho did not know-
how much punishment the company
could stand, and this Is the reason
why he summoned John D. Rockefel
ler and others prominently connected
with Standard OH affairs, so as to
learn some of the financial secrets of
the company which Its counsel weie
either unable or unwilling to tell.
The judge found that Mr. Rockefel
ler knew very little about the affairs
of the company of which he Is presi
dent, and that little he was sure of.
He- divulged, however, that the capl
tV j dard Oil company of
.' ,. iS "about $100,000,000,"
aim f -t the annual dividends now
are "about 40 per cent."
Standard President Kicks.
- New York, August 3. President
James A. Moffet, of the Standard Oil
company of Indiana, made the follow
lng statement today in reference to
the judgment Judge Landis pro
nounced in the federal court at Chi
cago: "The facts In this case are iiple
and easily understood. The Standard
O'l company of lry wu convict
ed of receiving what the government
claimed was a concession from 'he
Chicago & Alton in the shipment of
oil from Its reanery at Whiting, lnd.,
to East St. Louis, 111.
"The contention of the government
was that the lawful rate was sixteen
cents per hundred pounds betwee.i
these points. The defendant c.ins.
first that the lawful rate was six
cents; and secondly, if tlx cen' was
jiot the lawful rate, It was a rate
Issued to the Staniari by the Alton
as the lawful rate, and the Stand
ard was jus.tir.ed ii believing from
its own investigation and from In
structions received from the railroad
commission '.hat six cents was the
laufui rate.
Wants "Square Peal."
"We Insist that whatever may be
oaie's technical view, every equitable
consideration is with the defendant,
and if the only de.sire was to give
this defendant a square deal, this
prosecution would never have been
instituted. The American public not
only believes in fair play In the ab
stract, but with all the facts before
It, It has the capacity to determine
whether the defendant, rich or poor,
has received a 'square deal.'
"The Standard Oil company asserts
that It Is not even technically guilty,
and that It ought never to have ueen
prosecuted because of the clalmo!
failure of the railroad company,
which has neither been indicted nor
prosecuted, to file its tariff, and that
the prosecution of this defendant un
der the circumstances of this Is ta
prostitution of the spirit and hiii
purpose of the interstate commerce
act."
An official of the Standard Oil com
pany said the amount of the ilnej
Imposed by Judge Landis is an evi
dence of injustice against the com
pany. "The amount," he said, "Is fifty
times the value of the oil carried
under the Indictment. The total value
of the oil was $670,000, for each car
Is valued at about $450, and we have
been lined $20,000 per car." Stand
ard attorneys pointed out the facl
that nothing approaching the sum til
company had been sentenced to pay
has ever been exacted before in a
proceeding for a violation of a
statute.

FIVE KILLED AND
SCORE ATTACKED
WorkiMay Be That of Insane Fiend
of Ripper Inclinations. Though
Police Believe Several
Men Are Concerned
In Murders.
New York, August 1. The re
markablo series of crimes In this city
In which women and children are the
objects of attack, showt no signs of
abating. Yesterday two such attacks
were reported to the police and today
one additional case has been brought
to public notice, that of a young east
side girl, who was at'icked by a mis
creant while passing through the
hallway of the house hi which she
lived.
Scarcely an arrest of importance
has been made end the police con
fess themselves completely battled.
Some detectives believe that the as
saults are the work of one man, who
has the mad animal instinct of the
London and Herlin "rippers." Oth
ers, who combat this theory, point to
the widely separated localities in
which the crimes have occurred, and
the different methods with which the
murder was finally accomplished.
There is a marked decrease in the
number of women and children upolj
the streets at night. Every Utile in
cident is magnified and a mob quick
ly assembles. In sevaral Instances
men have been attacked by crowds
and severely beaten.
The newspapers are publishing let
ters from correspondents suggesting
that vigilance committees and pro
tectlve associations be formed.
A list of the victims killed num

women and a score or more have

There Is little doubt that several
of the murders were accomplished
by the same man. In at least two
cases, where bodies of women were
found, the slayer had killed them by
strangling the women with a neck
tie and after death he had mutilated
their bodies with a sharp knife. In
the other cases, various means were
employed to accomplish the murders,
and the fact that two murders were
discovered at practically the same
hour In different localities is proof
that more than one man is engaged
In the terrible work.
The police have attempted to fol
low clues, but there Is a complete
lack of all trails, beyond a few tangi
ed circumstances which mean prac
tlcally nothing. The best detectives
In the city have worked on the cases
but there ia nothing to report of suc

to go into dark streets at night are

Trouble Was Anticipated During
Past Week and Victims are
Blamed for Falling to No
tify Police of Their
Danger.
Roston, Mass., August 3. Of seven
Chinamen taken into the hospital af
ter last night's shooting in Chinatown
as a result of whlvh three men aru
already dead, several were reported
" serious conuitlon today.
Five Chinamen have been charged
with murder in connection with the
shooting.
Afraid to Talk.
The Boston Chinamen are so badly
frightened that it is only by Uio
greatest pressure that they will di
vulge anything concerning the trou
ble, as they fear their enemies are
yet in Uie city and may repeat the
attack tonight.
The information which loads the
police to believe they can convict the
live men under arrest was gained by
sweating Chinamen w ho were wounu
ed and who expect death. They do
not fear any further violence as far
as they are concerned, because they
expect to die soon, hence they gave
a few facts, telling the police the
names of other Chinamen who may
testify.
Attacked by Enemies.
Because tiieir deadly enemies be
longing to the rival on Leong Tong
society, a band of New York China
men numbering a dozen or more, and
said to be members of the notorious
Hep Sing Tong organization, entered
a narrow alley in Chinatown lat
night, and, drawing revolvers, open
ed fire upon half a hundred China
men. Killing litre and injuring sev
en. At the first vojley the Chinamen
rushed for their quarters. The Hep
Sing Tong men chased their victims
into their own door and shot them
down as they rushed upstairs or Into
side rooms. Then, casting aside their
guns, the strange visitors ran from
the Chinese quarters, the most of
them escaping the police.
Fifty Shots Fired.
After the shooting one of the Hep
oing men rrom iew xork was cap
tured by a policeman as he was run
nlng away. The man gave the name
of Nim Sing. He was dressed In
American clothes. Later an ofllcer at
the South station took into custody
Hong Woon, aged thirty-four, of New
York, whose hands were powder
stained. Roth prisoners are chargud
with manslaughter.
The police placed under arrest on
suspicion three other Chinamen who
are strangers In the local colony. The
shooting occurred in Oxford place. In
the center of Chinatown, where about
fifty Chinamen were smoking In ttiu
open air.
Fully fifty shots were fired. That
the visitors shot with careful accu
racy was apparent from the tact tnat
each of the three men killed was shot
through the heart.
Trouble Anticipated.
The trouble of last nignt had been
anticipated for more than a we.ek.
About ten days ago nearly a dozen
Chinamen who were strangers came
to Boston and rented rooms near
Chinatown. The police were notilltd
of the fact by Boston Chinamen, wh
feared trouble. Special details of po
lice were at once placed on duty in
the Chinese quarters and the strang
ers suddenly disappeared.
The trouble Is attributed by some
to the shooting which occurred In
Philadelphia recently for which the
Boston Chinamen were partially
blamed. It Is thought the Chinamen
who did the snooting came from
New York to punish the on Leung
Tongs for the Philadelphia outbreak.

Chicago, 111., August 3. The ac

first step toward the nomiatVn for
the otllce of president of the Uni
ted States on the socialist ticket. The
convention will meet In Chicago next
May, and from expressions by the
Chicago socialists no other candidate
will be looked for.
The socialist leaders here are loud.
In their proclamations that the next
fight of national Importance they
would Indulge In would 'be a fight on
the detective agencies of tho country.
"We propose to begin now and
wipe out of existence the detective
agencies that make it a business to
follow labor politics for a living,"
declared Secretary O. T. Fraenskel of
the local socialistic organization,
"and we will begin by keeping up the
Moyer, Haywood and Pettibone con
ference and its system of gathering
iunos. ana use tn,rtoney in picket

"We have Just begun the greatest

retary of the national socialists' or
ganization. "The trial of Haywood
has opened the eyes of the world lo
the power of socialism, and we will,
from this day on, march to victory
hot handed from any court, either

;ivn Credit to Judge, Wood.
"The trial was Just and the verdict
was no particular credit to socialism.
It was a rebuke to the employers of
the miners who framed up the
scheme to railroad 'undesirable' men

be given to Judge Wood, who could
not be bought by the mine owners. '
