cents per 100 pounds on oil from Chicago
to East St. .Louis and tho tariff herein
before .referred to, to which the Eastern
Illinois rosd was a party, which Is des
cribed as a ' tariff on ."classes and com
moditles between Chicago andEast St.
Louln" and which also showed the rate on
oil to be 1$ cents. 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. However, this
amendment No. 1 was not died with the
Interstate Commerce commission until
March. IMS. on year after the expiration
of tUe period covered by the Indictment,
' and nearly three years after its Issue. In
' View of these facts, tha court held that

The court then reviews Its action In

None of the array of Standard Oil coun

Important decision was made. John S.
Miller, chief counsel during the defense,
and Messrs. Eddy and Rosenthal are all

The trial was commenced March 4 and

two hours the Jury returned a verdict of
guilty. After arguments for a ,niw trial

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. '

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

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.

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

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.

from coming to tha fast and annoyed us
In various ways. The volunteers have boy

him and snatched away a portion of a
