Judge Kencsaw M Landls, In the United States dis trict court, lined the Standard Oil company of Indiana $2IVMO,uuO lor vio lations of the law against accepting re bates from railroads." The fine Is the largest ever assesseed against any Individual or any corporation In the history of American criminal jurispru dence and is slightly more than 131 times ns great as the amount received J U DP, 13 K. .M. LAN'DIS. by the company through its rebating operations. Tho case will bo carried to the higher courts by the defendant company. Tho penalty Imposed upon the com pany is the maximum permitted under the law, and It was announced at tho end of a long opinion in which tho methods and practices of the Stand ard Oil company were mercilessly scored. The judge, in fact, declared in his opinion that the olllcials of the Standard Oil company who weio re sponsible for the practices of which the corporation was found guilty were r.o better than counterfeiters and thieves, his exact language being: "We may as well look at this situa tion squatoly. The men who thus de liberately violate this law wrong so ciety more deeply than does he who counterfeits the coins or steals let ters from tho mall."

NEBRASKA TRAINMEN VIGILArli Surprise Tests Inaugurated on Rail roads Are Satisfactory. Omaha, Aug. 7. Although the Utile n Pacific has been the only Ne braska road credited with having In augurated tho "surprise tests" over Its system, It now develops that tho Hock Island, Burlington and North western have for some time been giv ing their road employes a "tryout" by this means and that tho reports re sulting from the tests show conditions to bo satisfactory. An employe of the Union Pacific who has read the reports following the surprise tests say that they show a decided Improvement in vigilance on the part of tho trainmen and that fewer signals aro being Ignored now than, ever before. A new test has been made, consist ing of tho changing of tho date on train orders. If the engineer accepts the order a mark is made against him. If he refuses It on account of the false date ho is given due credit.

INNOCENT MEN ARE MOBBED; Crowd Storms Street Car Barns Where " Policeman Had Sought Refuge With Prisoner Attempt to Lynch Offend-) er Falls Through Ovcreagerness, New York, Aug. 7. More of vfhnt hr.ve come to be seriously known at police headquarters as "near" crimes against girls were followed by nearer lynehlngs. Out of tho score of com plaints that reached ,the police, a half dozen dcninnded serious attention. Whether tho number Is extraordinary Is disputed, but certain It Is that never before has mob vengeance so frequently attended attacks upon chil dren. Led by a woman who, alternately in Italian nnd broken English, cried "Avenge my daughter," a reckless crowd of perhaps 2,000 persons stormed tho Fourteenth street car bains of the Metropolitan Street Hall way company, where a policeman had sought refuge with a seriously puui- , moiled prlfconcr. Paul Sorgerate, a Greek peddler, thirty years of age, had made tho mistake, so it is charged, of kissing Grace Josco, an Italian of cloven years. A shrill cry from the girl and an Impassioned ap peal by tho mother put the foreigners of tho neighborhood In n rage and as tho Greek took to his heels, a crowd puraued. When a block had been cov ered Sorgerate stumbled and fell, nnd the mob was upon him. Kicked nearly senseless, tho Greek nevertheless gained his feet only to be knocked down again. By this time somo one had snatched a clothesline from the window of a grocery store nnd tho rioters attempted to put a noose over tho offender's hend. Only. the over-1 agerness of each rioter to liavo a hand In tho lassoing saved the ped dler's neck. During tho confusion a policeman arrived and clubbed his way . to the endangered man. For a mo ment tho crowd fell back and within that time tho olllcer had dragged hl man to the nearby car barns. Police reserves stood off the mob, while the Greek wns hustled Into a patrol wagon. Innocent Man Mobbed. Coated of their man, the crowd vented Its fury on Gnston Keiiskel, an unoffending workman, homeward bound. As he was passing tho rioters a boy pointed him out, at the same time yelling: "That's the man's friend. He was there too." Kerlskel i was pounded until ho was unconscious. i iiu uuui: iv.iuim.-m mi. ui, ul luu iii- jureii man ana removed mm 10 a nos- pltal. irHi-u-.!

An attempt to assault a woamn on the street adds another case to the long list of attacks mnde on women nnd children in tho streets of New York. Despite the vigilance of the police, who have been doing double duty to prevent a further spread of the crime wave, the attack would have been suc cessful had It not been for the desper ate struggle of Adelaide Wildrer, a trained nurse, who fought her assail ant with n hat pin and finally routed him. Miss Wlldrer's screams brought the police, who pursued tho man to Central park, where he was brought to bay with a fusillade of bullets from the revolvers of the officers. The mnn snlfl he was Pietro Daurlo, an Itnllan peddler. HARD BLOW TOJUNCIIAKISTS New Proof Makes Members Liable to Murder Indictments. Now York, Aug. 7. District Attor ney Joromo's office, by securing a copy of the "Fundamental Constitution of the Reformed Hunchaklst Revolu tionary Society," has secured evidence which, tho attorney's assistants claim, will place every member of the society liable to indictment for murder. The constitution, which every mem ber of tho society must tnko an oath to obey, states plainly thnt the gen eral ass wn lily and various central committers have the right to condemn persons to death to carry out Its pun ishment, and It Is on this clause that the district attorney's office bases its claim for tho murder indictments.
