United States Court of Appeals
Against ludge Landis’ Fine
0 $29,240,000,and the Case
is demanded for a New Trial

 

 

CHICAGO, July 22.-By unanimous
opinion of the United States Court of
Appeals for the SeVenth District, the
famous case of the government against
the Standard Oil Company in which
the latter was fined $29,240,000 by
Judge Landis in the District Court,
must be retried.

The opinion, concurred in by
Judges Baker and Seaman, was de-
livered here today by Judge Grosscup,
Who wrote the opinion. The concluding
sentence of the opinion reads:

“The Judgment of the District

Court is reversed and the case re-
manded with instructions to grant a
new trial, and proceed further in ac-
cordance with this opinion."

The opinion begins with a .brief
statement of the manner in which the
case was brought from the District
Court to the Court of Appeals. Section
6 of the Inter-State Commerce. Act re-
lating to the publishing and filing of
rates’is quoted and the opinion con»
tinues:

”There are 169 assignment of errors.
taking up 67 pages of printed record.
In View of the conclusion, however, to
which we have come. it. is unnecessary
to review many of these assignments—-
the ones reviewed covering all the
propositions of law that we deem es-
sential to the guidance of the District
Court in the event of a second trial.
Comprehensively stated, the assign
ments of error which we. shall review,
relate:

“First-To the View adopted by the
trial court carried out in its rulings on
the admission and exclusion of evi
deuce and embodied in Its charge it
the jury that a shipper can be convict
cd of accepting af'conc‘ession from the
hwful published rate, even though it
is not shown as hearing on the matter
of intent, that the shipper at the flint
of accepting such concession, knew
what the lawful published rate actual
iy was. ,

“Second—To the view adopted by
the trial court that the number of of
lenses in the number of carloads of
property transported, irrespective oi
whether such carload, the whole or the
part only of a. single transaction re-
sulting in a shipment; and,

of the fine named the trial court abus-
ed the discretion vested in the court.

“We shall take up these subjects in
the order stated, the first being wheth

convicted of accepting a concession
from a lawful published rate. even
though it is not shown as bearing on
the matter of intent, that the shipper
at. the time of accepting such conces

rate actually was—a view of the law
that‘fs embodied in the charge and
carried out in the ruling excluding cer
tain proffered testimony, including that

absolute charge of the traffic affairs oi
the plaintiff in error during the period
covered by the transaction, offered It

not know anything about an 18 cent
rate over the Alton Railroad: that hit
attention had never been called to any
such rate by any person or by the ex

it was his understanding and belief
based on what he was told by one 1101
lands, tariff clerk for the Alton Rail
road, that the rate over the Alton road
was six cents and that such rates had
been filed with the interstate Corn
merce Commission.

“Hollands, who was called by tin
government, had previously testified
that he had no recollection of telling
Begardus that the six cent rate in

the Inter-State Commerce Commission
. But answering on his volr dire, the
jury being excused, Hollands further
stated that he regarded six cents per
100 pounds as the oil rate between
Whiting and East. St. Lopls: that be

zo Potter, his son; Edward S. Clark
and Mr. and Mus. F. A. Clark. Mrs.

Death was caused primarinly by Im-
bolism in the right leg, following a

trouble,'nnd the end had been forc-
seen for several days by the, bishop’s
physicians.

Decline Was Gradual.

Bishop Potter suffered a severe rc-
lapse, yesterday morning, and though
oxygen was given, his decline was
gradual, and he sank into unconscious-
ness early ycstcrday, which lasted un-
til. the end.

The bishop's physicians issued the.
following annoum-euu-nt of death last
night:

“Bishop Potter passed away peace-
fulyy at. 8:35 tonight. ills strength
gradually failed during the past twen-
ty-four hours, and there was no pbysi‘
cal suffering or pain.

Henry C. Potter, seventh Protestant,
Episcopal bishop of the diocese of New
York, was seventy-four years old, and
was a native of Schenectady, N. Y.
He had been the bend of the New
York diocese since 1377, succeeding
his uncle, Bishop Horatio Potter. in
addition to the hcaVy duties of the. ov-
ersight. ol’ the largest. diocese in point
of population in the United States,
Bishop l’ottcr took an active part In
movements of nationai importance.
The bishop did much to promote more
cordial relations between the employ-

casion demanded, he lent. his efforts to
Improve the standard of municipal
government in New York city. Hav-
ing once pointed the way toward lilllll-
icipal regeneration, the bishop stepped
raids, and permitted others to carry
mt the reforms. Conditions of humor.
ality on the east side in New York
were brought to his attention several
years ago, and in a sharp sermon, dc~
livored at St. Paul‘s church in at noon-

a lax condition of municipal direction,
which resulted in the overthrow of
the Tammany administration and the

Bishop Potter caused a great stir
throughout the country, several years
ago, when he took part at the dedica-

those interested in the tavern to con-
duct an establishment where all in-
toxicants would be served under reg-
ulations that would promote temper-
ance, and by example improve the tone
of the saloon. The bishop made an
address in which he said he hoped
that the tavern would be a success. Af-
ter an uncertain existence the tavern
failed. '

William W, Crane’s Barn En-
tered and 8100 Worth of Car-
penter's Tools Taken-The
Burglar: Travel Around in
an Automobile

 

 

The burglars again paid a visit to
West Norwaik, lust flight, and as near
as can be ascertained stopped at only
one place, but here they secured over
$100 worth of tools and succeeded in

making their escape undetected and
unmolested. The property visited was
owned by William W. Crane, the well-
known carpenter. who is nearly eighty
years of age. He kept his tools in
the barn, and it would appear that the
burglars knew of this circumstance.
The lock was forced from the door.
and the place ransacked. Mr. Crane
discovered the visit early this morning
when he went to the barn. lie was
quite seriously affected by it, and still
appears to be dazcd over the incident.
lie lived alone with his aged wife.

it has been learned that the burglars
are traveling in an automobile, aml it
is said to be one of the quiestest mach-
ines ever run over the West Norwnlk
roads. inst. night it was seen by sev-
t-rul people, who said it contained tin-cc
young men who wore dark clothing.

Hem-y liurtls noticed the machine
standing near the residence of his
brotlu-r-in-law, Samuel C. Morehouse,
between 11 and 12 o'clock, and he call.
cd out to Mr. Morchouso for the pur-
pose of giving him warning, but the
machine quickly and quietly distppear'
ed. The “gifts Were very dilu, and the
auto would have attracted but little at.
ten on the road had not the West Nor-
walk people been on the. lookout for it.

Last Sunday night about 2:15
o'clock Contractor Edgar T. Bates wus
aroused, and looking out now the auto
mobile standing a few yards above
his house. lie. called to his son-in-law,
Melvin Downs, and they dressed and
went outside the house. Their up.
pearunco evidently frightened the outn-
mobilists. as tbev lost no time in get-
ting uwuy. Mr. iates says there were
four men In the machine at that time.
It will be remembered that. three
pinccs were entered Saturday night, as
told in Monday's Sentinel.

Mr. Cl'ane states that. more than
$100 worth of tools were taken from
his place. The visit of the auto bur-
glars was reported by telephone this
morning to Chief of Police William
Vollmcr. but the affair having occurred
outside the city limits, the police had
no jurisdiction, and an investigation
was made by Constable Samuel C.
Ireland.

[Cast Norwulk also has some bold
young thicves. Yesterday afternoon
two young men were discovered In the
act of cutting away lead water pipe
in actual use nndcr the building on
the Washington street bridge owned
by John Knbovlch. a tailor.

Mrs. Knbovlch made the discovery.
She heard a tapping noise and made
an investigation. "llurry up." she
heard one of the young men say to the
other and just about that time they
saw her. They took to flight and Mrs.
Knbovlch told hcr husband.

Knbovlch gave chaise, arousing the
neighborhood by his cries of “stop
thief. stop thief," but the young men
were so fleet of foot that they cscaped.
()ne disappeared in Kaiser place and
the other around the corner of a Sea-
view avenue building.

Knbovlch recognized one of the
young men and reported the theft to
Prosecuting Attorney William I“. Tum-
many, of South Norwalk.

WHISTLE stéw Iron
SEVENTEEN MINUTES
Captain of Iugboat Reed Tried

to Make ‘iiclimd Engineer
Nova Train Oil the Draw

 

 

Somewhat of a climax come this
morning to the long-standing kick of
tugboat captains that the South Nor—
walk railroad drawbridge is not open-

ed for them according to law.

From 7:05 o'clock. this morning, for
seventeen minutes, the captain of the
tug William 1“. Reed blew his whistle
almoat continuously, and about nine
out of every ten people who heard it
were ready to mob him, for the same
nuisance has occurred several times
of late.

This morning Chief of Police Wil-
liam Vollmor took a trip down to the
Washington ‘street bridge and ordered
the Captain of the Read to desist. A
lively word battle ensued. .

The captain shouted back that he
would like to see the chief come out
and stop 111th and the chief replied that
he would showbim mighty quick if
he had him ashore, and informed him
that his difference with the railroad
company does not give him a license
to connult a nuisance. The chief's
stand was that the kick of the tugboat
captain is a civil matter. He had dc‘
cidcd to get a warrant for the tugboat
captain if the latter did not desist, but.
the whistle was not continued.

Several months ago a tugboat cap»
tain ticd Ilifiv‘WhISIIt' down, but In this
he was not. upheld by other steamboat
men: It is understood that the iron-
blc at the, drawbrldgc has been report-
ed to the government officials of this
district, at New London, but the boat‘
men say thut conditions were not bet-
tcrcd. it is their claim that the bridge
is not opened for them after the six
minutes the law allows the railroad
company to hold up traffic at this
point.

The steamboat men do not blame the
drawtcndcr. They say he is on the
job all of the “time. but maintain that
freight trains are nllowad to block up
the bridge for a long time over the
lilnlt. They say that the. freighis are
switched across the. bridge to save
time in the freight yard.

PAID MILITARY TAX AND COSTS.

But it Cost George Maher $10.25 Af-
ter Case Reached Town Court.

Another military commutation tax
delinquint was before the Norwalk
town court, this morning. George
Maher pleaded guilty to the charge of
failing to pay those taxes on the list
of 1906. The warrant was signed by
Sidney Guthrie, tax collector of the
town. '

Mr. Guthrie was called to the stand,
and the list book was introduced as
evidence in the case. William Guth-
rie, who acted as agent for Sidney
Guthrie, took the stand, and testified
that he had made a personal demand
of Mr. Maher for the money, and that
he failed to comply with the same.

Mr. Maber was asked why he failed
to pay the taxes, and he said he had
been advised not to do so by some
friends.

Judge Lockwood stated that the peo-
ple had been given plenty of chance to
pay the charges, and he thought in
view of the fact that at a town meet-
ing hold some time ago it was voted
to have the law in regard to this mat-
ter enforced, and that the prosecutions
were fully in order.

The sentence of the court was that
the defendant be dmfined to the
Bridgeport jail till the tax, with inter-
est thereon, and all costs of the pro-
ceeding suit shduld be paid.

The tax of $2 and other costs
amounted to $10.26, was paid.

night, run into and soak the lumber-
iaden schooner Menawa, All on board

the schooner, consisting of the captain
and five men, were taken on board the
Mayflower. The presiden ’s yacht
had her bowsprit and one a chor car-
ried away. but the jar of the collision
was so alight that none of the presi‘
dent‘s party knew of the accident until
they arose this morning, The Men
away belonged to (i. G. I’endleton. of
lsleboro, Maine. The collision occurr-
ed at about 1:15 a. m., when the May-
flower was between New London and
New Haven.

As soon as the Mayflower arrived
here the following dispatch watasent:

not. informed and knew nothing about
it until he got up this morning.

“J. L. McGREW."

The Mayflower had an uneventful
trip after leaving Oyster Bay until be-
tween 9 and 10 o'clock. last night.
when she ran into a. fog between New
Haven and New London, The boat was
slowed down and the big whistle
sounded frequently. At 1:16 a. m..
while the fog was very dense and
without the slightest warning, a sail-
ing vessel which was running up the
Sound. was crushed under the sharp
prow of the Mayflower. The shock of
the collision was comparatively slight,
but when thone in charge of the May.
tlower hailed the schooner they fouml
that shc had a great hole in her side
and was sinking. floats Were at once
lowered from to yacht and all on board
the schooner were rescued without
difficulty. as the sea was smooth.

The first launch to reach the sink-
ing schooner found her heeled well
over, with part of her cargo of lumber
drifting about her and her crew at the
stern, making efforts to free their own
boat. They were taken on board the
Muyfiower‘s launch. The schooner, de.
spite her cargo of spruce, sank as the
last mun was leaving her.

An examination of the forward part
of the Mayflower shchd that the bow.
sprlt had been carried away, and that
one of the anchors was missing. 'I‘hé'
yacht, however. sustained no other
damage, and as soon as the boat with
her occupants had been hoisted on
board she proceeded to Newport. The
collision and rescue delayed the May-
flower about. half an hour.

The crew of the schooner were made
comfortable on board the Mayflower,
and seemed somewhat ill at case on
finding themselves on board the presi-
dent’s yacht. They Were all summon-
ed aft as soon as the president had
dressed, and were personally present-

of the yacht. The president expressed
great concern regarding the accident,

Harold St. George Knocked Out
for About Twenty Minutes at
Roton Point ~

\—

 

 

liarold St. George, a young Norwalk
trolley conductor, was badly shocked
by electricity at Roton Point, last
night, and narrowly escaped death. He
was rendered unconscious for about
twenty minutes, and was taken to his
home in Main street, Norwalk, where
it is expected he will be laid up for
several days.

It was raining hard at the time
young St. George was shocked and the
water formed a. first-class conductor
for short ctrcuitlng the electrical
wires. lie touched one of the electric
search lights and was knocked sense
less in a jiffy. The only outward indi-
cation of the accident was a slight
burn on his left hand.

The downpour ‘of rain, last. evening,
caused dirt to run on the trolley
tracks and nmch trouble ensued. There
was no 9:30 trip .from Norwalk to
Westport. The car in charge of Motor-
man Thomas Smith and Conductor
Toplnka was stalled in Church's hol-
low. just this side of Peat Swamp, be-
cause of the mud. When they Were
finally shoved out of here the trick
was duplicated at the top of the West.
port avenue hill, and at the foot, near
St. Paul's Church A gang of 'tho
trucktnen were pn'to work with their
shovels, and every ‘llttle way had to
get out and use them.

The rain filled in the tracks near the
Meadow street, bridge. and when one
of the big cars attempted to go under
it, the trucks jumped the. tracks and
the car was thrown partly across the
street, blocking traffic for a. time.

Another trolley car jumped the track
in front of St. Luke's Church, Norb-
ton, this noon, and traffic was again
stopped on that end of the line for
n time.
