The court held that Its effect was to exhibit to the general ship ping public a rate of 1$ cents on oil from Whiting to East St. Louis. Tarlir sneeta Withheld. The court then recites that on July 7, 1903, one day after this tariff became ef fective, the eastern Illinois company, ap parently recognizing that the effect of this tariff was to nullify the Vcent rate shown by its schedule No. 8073, effective In Oc tober, 1905, irsued what It denominated "amendment No. 1 to tariff No. "IW." that being' the Eastern Illinois class tariff of Beptember, 195, which fixed a rate of 18 cents per 100 pounds on oil from Chlcngo to East St. Louis and which was embraced within the general class tariff referred to. This amendment purported to cancel tho Vi-cent Whlttng-East St. Louis oil rate ahown on the tariff filed with the com mission In October, 1, and named a . commodity rate on oil of H cents per 100 pounds from Chicago and Dalton Junction, III., to East St. . 1-ouls.

After a deliberation of two hours the Jury returned a verdict of guilty. After arguments for a ,niw trial had been heard. Judge 1-andls called for Information concerning the Velatkona of the Standard Oil company of New Jersey and the Standard Oil company of Indiana, their financial status and holdings, ao that ha might be guided In determining the amount of the fine, and when this was refused by the defense tha court Issued subpoanaea for John D.

S.-The Standard Oil company will appeal to the United States circuit court of appeals from the sentence imposed by Judge Landis today. FINE IS (Continued from First Page.) at once or whether the full time allowed by law will be taken will be determined by our counsel In Chicago." Few of the officials of the company were at their offices today. Mr. Rogers has been absent for some days. The Standard Oil attorneys had nothing to say further than that an appeal will be entered and con tinued to the last resort. Attorneys were generally stunned by the fine Imposed. It was pointed out that noth ing approaching the sum which the Stand ard Oil company of Indiana has been sen tenced to pay has ever been expected be fore In a proceeding for violation of a statute and the appeal of the company will be watched with the closest Interest. The decision became known Just three minutes before the stock market closed. Whatever the effect of the announcement might have been at any other than a Sat urday noon time, it had almost none at all today. The market had been extremely dull afl day and the final trading was with out interest. - In Wall street there was more discussion of the probable effect of the decision on railroad shares than, of the effect on Standard Oil stocks, which Is inactive and Is traded on the curb .mar ket and not on the Sock exchange Itself. Special attention was given by Wall street men to the recommendation, of Judge Lan dia that a call be Issued for a special grand Jury to consider the other parlies to the operations of which the Standard Oil company of Indiana was found guilty and the probability that proceedings would be oommenoed against the Chicago & Alton Railroad company. The precedent . indi cated by thla recommendation of Judge Landis was generally regarded as of the greatest importance. ' JOHN D. HAS JtOTHIXO TO SAY Head of Standard Oil Make o Com Burnt on Flae. CLEVELAND. O'.. Aug. -John D. Rocke feller, upon learning of the fine Imposed upon the Standard OH company by Judge Landis of Chicago, today said he had no comment whatever to make concerning the matter.

LAMMS CALLS XKDRASKA I'tllSOV Does Whai Pmrnrr Ha Id He Wonld He lluaKed f He Did. . Judge Landis, in levying the maximum fine, has called the turn of a certain Ne braska minister of the gospel. Some weeka ago the Nebraska preacher was quoted as saying that when John D. Rockefeller was fined $28,(kiO.00O he would go have himself hanged. t'p to the present reports of the minister carrying his threat, or wager, as it was considered, have not been received. His expression was made In the course of a sermon In which hj was dealing with cor porations and their power or Influence with courts, legislatures and congresses, and was rather pessimistic In general tone. He was not understood to be at all tired of life, but was so certain Judge Landis would not aaseBs the maximum fine he gave ut terance to this remarkable statement.

Tha Bea Want Ads Are thft 3at Business Boosters TWO HUNDRED SHIPS OF WAR Great Britain's Home Fleet Reviewed by King and Queen. SIXTY BATTLESHIPS ABE IN LINE Magalneent spectacle oa the Solent Viewed hy Tbenaands Eleven Miles of Flatting Steel. PORTSMOUTH, Kng., Aug. 3.-The 200 ships of war constituting Great Britain's home fleet, paraded before King Edward and Queen Alexandra todsy on the Solent, aiKl Incidentally furnished a magnlficant pageant for the opening of the annual Cowes regatta meek. Spread out In seven long lines between the Isle of Wight and the Hempshire shore this splendid array of vessels, great and small formed a floating steel city with a population of 3T,000 officers and men. Never before have so many British men-of-war been seen together under the control of a single admiral. From the battleship Dread naught down to the smallest submarine, every vessel was dressed from stem to stem with flags. The crews were assembled on deck and as the king and the queen on board the royal yacht Victoria and Albert passed down the lines each ship's company gave a rousing cheer. For eleven miles up and down the Jtlng and queen steamed be tween steel walks. This gathering of warships forms the recently organized home guard section of the British navy and the government and the admiralty are so proud of the as semblage that they departed from the usual rule about visitors and threw the entire fleet oprn to the critical Inspection of the public. Dotted through three central lines were no less than sixty battleships headed by the Dreadnaught. The special naval panaroma was viewed by scores of pleasure yachts anchored off the Ivy-covered walls of the royal yacht squadron's csstle at Cowes. Hosts .of pleasure launches and excursion steamers crowded with thousands of the general public, each with Its band of music ploying, helped to enliven an unusually at tractive scene. The- weather which was gloomy In the morning, cleared tip before the departure of the king from Portsmouth. ENGLISH IN NORTH NIGERIA Acnte Financial Crisis tn Kscypt Has Had Effect of Weakening. Nationalists. CAIRO, Aug. $. (Special.) A native lib eral party has been formed to combat the seditious propaganda of Mustafa Kamel Pasha and other agitators. It Is formed In the main of well-to-do natives who realise the pernicious effects . of the anti-British movement on the minds of the ignorant na tives. Not long ago the natives were civil and submissive. Now they are openly In solent and talk of the day when they will be freed from the presence of the hated Christian. Interesting details of the campaigns near Sokoto and HadeIJa, In northern Nigeria, given by Sir Frederick Lugard, high com missioner, have Just been published here: A Mahdl arose at Satiru, a village four teen miles south of Sokoto, in February and a fanatical outbreak against the emir i as well as, against British rule followed. ! The company of mounted Infantry at 8o ' koto under Lieutenant T. F. Blackwood Immediately advanced on Satiru and formed a square. The rebels cnargea ana Droae the square, routing the company with a loss of twenly-flve Wiled, Including Lieu tenant Blackwood and several other Euro peans. Wlthla twenty-four days after this disaster a foroe of twenty-one officers and 624 men advanced on Sat if u under circum stances under which, according to Kir Fred erick Lugard, the northern Nigeria regi ment may Justly be proud. The village was finally taken at the point of the bayonet. At the conclusion of this expedition the emir of HadciJa required attention. His leaders assumed a boastful and Independ ent attitude and a band of fanatical leaders preached a Jehad with disastrous results. When the emir was called on to surrender the principal agitators he struck the Brit ish messenger and contemptuously Invited the commanding otlicer to come and get the persons himself. He did so. A force of over TOO men and two guns at once moved on Hadeija. A messenger was sent three times to warn the people In the capital If they laid down their amis and came out they had nothing to fear, and Colonel Cole, who commanded the expedition, was preparing to send a fourth messenger when the column was suddenly charged by a body ol' mounted spearmen belonging to the natives. They were dispersed, hut despite heavy fire,- they reformed and charged again. Then the British troops forced their way Into the town, wheer the streets were guarded by the enemy. It required about one and one half hours' fighting to reach the enclosure of the emir. Here the resistance was very stubborn, but the entrance was at length forced and the defenders either killed or captured. The fighting men were armed with swords, spears, bows and arrows and a few firearms. Many wore shirts of mall. The emir and his son were Bhot when boldly charging at a few yards distant. The heat was Intense, often being 115 In the shado and this retarded the movements of the British troops and at times greatly aided the natives. In spite of the trouhles among the na tives reported from many sections of Africa and In spite of the particular troubles re ported from all parts of Egypt there Is a feeling that the acute financial crisis here In Egypt has had the distinct effect of weakening tho nationalist movement. AMERICAN GIRLS ARE FOILED I'nahle to Take Snapshot of Kilted Highlander Sentry at Edla . burgh Castle. EDINBURGH, . Aug. 3.-(8peclaI.)-The twenty-one prize girls from Ohio who are hurrying and scurrying over Europe, but who resolutely refuse to recognize their International nickname of "Buckeye Dais ies" had' the time of their tour at Edin burgh. They captivated It, too with one exception. The scene of their rebuff was Holyrood Palace and the villain of the piece was a kilted Highlander sentry, who, with rifle on shoulder, paced up and down outsMa the entrance. He was a strange snd pic turesque being to the young women. They hurried toward him the moment they caught sight of him. "Hay girls, ain't he Just sweet," cr'cd the leader of the party, and thfn, of course, bdng American girls, they laugh.'d lieart'ly. The sentry, who could not turn Ids gin on them and shoot them, paced up and down with unmoved face. They scattered themselves along his. line of route. Two or three had cameras. "He must stop," said a pretty brunette, "far In this dull light I shall never bs able to gel a good snapshot." The sentry, of course, heard, but heeded nit at all. "Say," cried two or three charm ing volcea. "will you hold up for a mo ment. We want to take your picture." The sentry set his mouth firmly snd slightly lncressed his pace. A Hlnhlasd soldier is ordinarily not a man to be trifled with even by charming girls, so they trttd to take Mm as ha walked and to circum vent them ha went as fast as his dignity would allow. A girl described It after wards. "Just to think." she said, "he ac tually kept wagging Ms head to and fro so that we couldn't catch him at all." This one failure In Kdlnhurgh was atoned by a doien successes. The girls stormed Kdlnhurgh castle and even wrung smiles form the hardened faces of tha old Scottish guides. "I think out of those stats Jewels." said one. "I d Ilka best to take back to Ohio that Jeweled ring of Charles I. I'va no use for the crown; It's too heavy, though I do admit that I'd like to e a king wear ing a crown Just for once. I've heard to much about them with crowns, but I can't find anybody who can tell me where to go to find them wearing them." What Joys were theirs when. In a book shop, the girls found that the proprietor had actually known Robert Lou la Steven son personally. "What was he like?" they asked In a chorus. "For one thing." was tha reply, "he wore a velveteen Jacket." "Oh, how-Sweet'." the chorus replied enthusiastically. $60.00 In free prises. Oct your share. See page six, editorial section. FRIEND TENUIS TOURNAMENT Two Days of Ptay on Good Conrta Will Draw Cracks of the State. FRIEND. Neb., Aug. l.-(Speclal Ths annual open tournament of the Friend Tennis club will be held here Tuesday and Wednesday. August II and 14. Loving cups will be awarded to the winners In singles and doubles, also to the winners of singles and doubles In the consolation rounds. This has come to be the most Important tournament In the state, aside from the Middle West championship at Omaha, and Is drawing some of the crack players on account of the good and well located courts. Arrangements for special hotel ratee to visitors have been made. Entries are being received by Tony Edmondson. SportlnaT Ooaaln. Schlpke got a hit In each game at Wash ington Friday and played his base One. Claude Rossmun made five hits In that double-header which put Detroit Into first place. The Sox sent Hickman In to bat for Pat terson Friday and ex-Senator responded with a hit. Perrlne has been moved to the top of the batting list for ths Millers. Mertes Is still out of the game. Howard made Ms presence felt in the defeat of the Olrnts, hitting twice In three times up and taking all his fielding chancea and making a sacrifice. Perring still continues to lace out the ball. He made four lilts In seven times up Friday. Several teams could use a hard hitting third baseman like Perring. Gilbert Nichols has won another cham pionship. He is well known to Omaha golfers, as he played here several times while traveling to and from Denver. Lajole has signed Harry Birmingham, an elder brother of his outfielder. Bill, and ts playing him on second, while he himself is off. O'Brien is moved to third to supplant Bradley. Hofman was evidently trying to demon strate that It Is not the proper thing to do to leave him out of a game. Having been out for a few games, he made three hits on his return. Pueblo Is doing some great work of late and especially Friday, when Lincoln was set back another peg. Omaha could now lose live straight to Lincoln and stilt oc cupy a safe position. Hickman, bought by Commie from Wash ington, Is out of condition st present, but It Is said he will soon round Into shsps. Where Commie will use him, except for a utility man, is a question. It was Nick A It rock, touted at tha begin ning of the season as the leading pitcher of the year, who wss In the box when Chicago was nosed out of the lead In the pennant race In the American league. Omaha continues to cinch Its lead on that flag and Pueblo generously stepped In snd lengthened the distance between Lincoln and Omaha. Pueblo must be reckoned with from now on. It Is tha Brooklyn of tha Western league. "With luck leaning toward the visitors." Tho above was written by Percy Plpe drenms In reference to the Omaha game. It must have been great luck to win a game when making twelve hits to seven. That 11 to 0 gams waa due to the same sort of luck. There will be bunches of tennis In Omaha during the next three or four weeks If present plans carry. The Country club and the Diets have Just started big tourna ments and the Field club will start the Middle West August 19. The Associated Press says Mordecal Brown probably never pitched better ball than he did Friday against the Olants, let ting thera down with four hits and no runs. Only one base on balls prevented his pitching from' being perfect. Mthew sen wss his opponent. McAleer and Griffith are said to be dick ering for the transfer of Kid Elberfield to the Browns, where the obstreperous Kid has wanted to go for some years. Just where he would play on the Browns Is not known, but If he would get off his high horse and come to earth he would add strength to the St. Louis team. The Jonses are coming to front on tha big diamonds mors than ever. First, there is Fielder Jones, the White Sox manager and center fielder; then there Is the big first baseman of the St. Louis Rrowns: Detroit has its D. Jones In left field aud Washington its C. Jones In center. Tes, and Lincoln has ts Johnny In tha box. Old Deacon Jim MeGtilre Is getting re sults out of Boston. Jim did a regular Casey's revenge" trick the other day. His team was playing Detroit and In the ninth Inning the score was 1 to 1 for tha Tigers. Manager Jim sent himself in to bat for his pitcher. Pruit. As ths veteran of quarter of a century stepped to the piste a mighty roar went up from Boston fans. There were two outs and on the result of tho Deacon's effort depended the game. The first two halls pitched the umpire called strikes. But that didn't bother the old niHn of 44 summers a bit. He stood and gazed at Pitcher Blever with a do-or-dle look Ir. his eye. The third strike never came. The third hall pitched went Into ths left-field bleachers and McOuire mads a home run, which tied the score.
