- ‘ f ,: FEDERAL PETITION IN STANDARD CASE REFUSED WITH A - SHARP REBUKE. CRITICISM RESENTED E BY APPELLATE BODY Judges eHo!d to Their Original De: cision in Reversal of $29,000,00C Fine Imposed by Landis—Applica tion for Review Likely. Chicago, Nov. 11.—The petition by

the United States government for a rehearing of the appeal of the Stand ard Oil Company of Indiana from the $26.240.000 fine of Juege Landis was overruled Tuesday by Judges Grosscup, Baker and Seaman in the United States circuit court of appeals. In a brief opinion, delivered by Judge Grosscup, the original opinion of the court, reversing Judge Landis’ déci--I.ocn, was upheld. :

- The case now lies in the hands of Aitcrney General ‘Bonaparte, and it is expected that he will apply for a writ of certiorari in the United States supreme court in order to obtain a re v.ew of the big case by the country's Lighest tribunal. T )

| The contents of the petition for rebearing, which had the signatures of Attorney General Bonaparte and Distiict Attorney Edwin W. Sims attoched to it, are almost wholly igrured by the reviewing court, refer: ence being made to but two points of contention. . Petitioners Are Taken to Task. ‘ Then the opinion concludes with what is taken to be a criticism of the e A 2§§:‘ =g 8 %& e et SRR o g eiot ol e ‘gg e - ey 3 o e D f‘—‘;g 3 T Soimalee o R ST e et feea- - SRt o £ i “.&‘ S €7 Tl 5 45 ey = e, s X‘ta R eX= ' S < = PR F Shaiaae ] & Suiie £ 20000 5 s spesaulligl 2o I ,':"f‘} & L Sy " £ FNCE Al; M 6 LAY Attorney General Bonaparte. government attorneys for the manner in which they petitioned for another hearing of the appeal. The federal lawyers were not sparing in their caustic flaw-picking in the appellate judges’ decision on the appeal. The three jurists of the appellate bench, in denying the petition for -rehearing, say: : “Courts have the right to expect that counsel accustomed to practice in the courts of review not oaly know the meaning of legal terms constantly in use in discussions and opinions of these courts; but will not misuse such terms to spread misinformation respecting a judgment that, in the nature of the case, is bound to attract wide public attention.” Adds to the Original Decision.

Aside from the brief decision denying the petition of the government and a concurring opinion of Judge Baker added to the original opinion, the court makes two additions to its original decision on the action of the lower court. The government’s objection that the appeal judges did not show, as the petition for rehearing recites, what should be the basis oncession for which a shipper be punished, is answered in dition to the original opinion: “The ofiense of accepting a concession is the ‘transaction’ that the given rebate consummates—not the units of mere measurement of the physical things transported, but the ‘transaction’ whereby the shipper, for the thing shipped, no matter how little or how great in quantity, received a rate different from the established rate—the wide range between maximum and minimum - punishment being - doubtless thought to be a sufficient range within which to differentiate the punishment adapted to one transaction from the punishment adapted to another.” . Fine Could Not Exceed $720,000. According to the judgment, the punJshment of the oil company could have been ptoperly based only on the settlement made to the Chicago & Alton railway, from which it was accused of accepting concessions. There were 36 of these settlements, and a ‘maximum fine for all these could have ‘beeg but $720,000-and the minimum

In answer to the government's objection that under the decision of the higher court a corporation may mse a subsidiary concern to commit

erime, while escaping punishment, the court adds to the opinion as follows: “True it is that if one corporation mses another corporation to violate law, just as if one individual uses _ gnother to violate the law, such offendthough masked, to go un- . P e

“HONORED BY SNUB”"—GOMPERS. Labor Chief on Roosevelt’s Failure to Invite Him to Conference. Denver, C 01.,, Nov. 11.—“ I was honored by the president when he excluded me from his guest list,” said Samuel Gompers ‘Tuesday. He referred to the fact that President Roosevelt had issued invitations to a number of labor leaders to meet with prominent lawyers and jurists at a dinner at the White House, November 17, for the purpose of discussing labor legisiation. and had - mot invited the president of the American Federation of Labor. Mr. Gompers continued:

“It is a high tribute to the manner in. which I have represented the interests of the millions of working men and women banded together in the federation, both in the matter of pressing the administration for fair labor legislation and in the political campaign just ended. e “This is the first affair of the kind that 1 know of at the White House: to which I have not been invited, but, despite the fact that I have frequently been asked to meet the president and his friends socially, I have never availed myself of such an invitation.” ® .

Emperor William's Alleged Indiscre- ‘ tion Is Reichstag Topic. - Berlin, Nov. 11.—The alleged indiscretion of Emperor William in having given the interview which was published in the Daily Telegraph of London on October 27, was debated in the reichstag Tuesday before a crowded house. ~ Herr Bassermann, speaking for the national liberals, said the party did not desire the resignation of Chancellor von Buelow, but:it did want the elimination of the personal element from the conduct of foreign affairs and the observance of the provisions of the constitution. ;

Herr Singer, socialist, made the sensational declaration that had any public servant except the emperor made the statements contained in the now famous interview he would be brought before a high court and tried for treason. :

NORTH DAKOTA, “DREADNOUGHT OF AMERICAN NAVY,” I 8 LAUNCHED AT QUINCY. V THOUSANDS)“SEE CRAFT SLIP FROM THE WAYS New Record for Speed Is Made in Construction of Vessel—Charles J. " Badger Is Selected to Captain Mas- ~ sive Man-of-War. | Quincy, Mass., Nov. 11.—When the great prow of the new battleship North Dakota struck the waters of Fore river, where she was launched Tuesday, the United States navy received formally the bulky body of the first fighting ship of the ‘so-called Dreadnought class. Incidéntally, a new record for speed in the first stage of battleship construction was established, inasmuch as only 282 working days were employed from the time of laying the keel until the day of the launching. As the massive hull of the North Dakota stood upon the ways ready for launching it presented none of the warlike appearance of the finished battleship. : To Deliver in Three Years. Before the conclusion of the 34% months allowed by the government for delivery, however, the hull launched Tuesday will present a different aspect. By that time, ten 12inch breech loading, long range rifles will have been placed in position, as well as 14 5-inch, rapid fire guns; four 3-pound, and a like number of 1-pound semi-automatic guns; two 3-inch field pieces, two machine guns of 30 caliber and two 21-inch submerged torpedo tubes. This constitutes the active armament of the battleship. Protective armor to the extent of about eight inches, will cover practically every ‘available spot which might be reached by an enemy’s guns, and as a result of the recent naval conference, many minor details of additional protection will also be added.

Will Be 510 Feet Long.

When placed in commission, the North Dakota will be 510 feet long on the load water line, with a breadth of 85 feet, 2% inches at the same point. The length over all’ will be about 518 feet, 9 imches. The battleship will have a displacenient of 20,000 tons, 2,000 in excess of the original British Dreadnought. It is estimated that a speed of more than 21 knots will be attained on her trial, and that the battl_eship"s horse-power will exceed 25,000. Unlike her sister ship, the Delaware, now under construction at Newport News, Va., the North Dakota will be fitted with Curtis turbine engines. Including officers, the crew 'will number more than 900 men. It is estimated that when formally taken over by the government the North Dakota will have cost at least $7,000,000, the contract price of her hull and machinery alone being $4,377,000, Charles J. Badger, Captair.

Although the American battleship construction. record is broken by the North Dakota’s builders, it does not closely approach that held by the Briiish navy in the construction of the first Dreadnought. The keels of that vessel was laid in July, 1905, and on October 2, of the same year, the vessel was launched, and exactly a year later the ship had its standardization trial. It is expected that the North Dakota will be ready for its first trial trip about the latter part of August, 1910, although the actual placing of tke battleship into commission may be delayed. : : To Capt. Charles J. Badgsr, U. S. N, recently superintendent of the naval academy at Annapolis, will go the honor of being the first commanding officer of the premier “Dreadnought” of the United States mavy. ’ GRILL GUNNESS CASE JURYMEN. New Question Is Introduced Into Trial of Ray Lamphere. E Laporte, Ind., Nov. 11.—“ If it should be shown by the evidence that Mrs. Gunness had been guilty of numerous atrocious crimes, would that influence you in any way in reaching a decision upon the evidence introduced for and against the defendant, or would you give the same consideration to the case as you would were Mrs. Gunness a good. and pure woman?”’ was one of the new questions interjected Tuesday by Prosecutor Smith in ‘the examination of jurymen te try Ray Lamphere for the murder of Mrs. Gunness and her three children. 8 Six more jurors were favorably passed on during the morning session by Attorney Worden, but they were ‘subject to re-examination by Prosecutor Smith. : s Four Killed in Wreck.

b Obituary : -Hazel D. Francisco, Yyoungest daughter of William and Elizabeth Francisco was born near Ligonier, Ind., Feb 26, 1886, and died at the home of her parents on First St., in Ligonier, Oct 29, 1908, aged 22 years. 8 months. 3 days. o She leaves her parents, one brother and one sister and a host of friends who mourn her death. The funeral services conducted by Rey. Thomas Younger were held at the Presbyterian church on Sunday morning Nov. 1. She was laid to rest in the Ligonier cemetery amid a profusion of flowers, tokens of love from bher friends who were numbered by the people who knew her. Her entire life was devoted to school work. Having completed the common branches in the Ligonier publie school, she entered the Tri State Normal at Angola and it was while attending this school that she gave her heart to her Maker, accepted the faith and joined the Christian church of Angola. i She has been one of Noble County’s successful teachers for; several years and at the time she was stricken with her last illness was employed: in the Wawaka school.

But Death, the grim reaper came into our midst and claimed her and only Time, the great tomb builder and heart healer can dull the keen edge of our grief. ‘ Her death has cast a gloom over the town and community where alk her life, by her cheerful disposition and many acts of kindness she had won the love and esteem of all who knew ber. - : * % 1 cannot say, and I:will not say That she is dead—she is just away! | . W(iith a cheery smile and a wave of the lg})e‘has wandered into an urknown land, And left us dreaming how very fair. g It need must be since she lingers there. And you—O you, who the wildest yearn For the old timesstep and the glad return, Think of her faring on, as dear s 1n the love of There as the loye of Here;= Think of her still as the same, I say; She is not dead—She is just away! Are Shaking Hands County Treasurer-elect J. J. Forker and Sheriff-elect P. J. Stanley were in the city today paying their respects to the 'yoters of Kendallville. Unecle John Forker said, when he was asked where he had been during the campaign, that he had not been out of his office an hour electioneering. “My work has been too strenuous,’”’ he said ‘‘to pay any attention to anything else but the ‘work. "I findthat a man ‘who hold¥” a county office and attends to his business has his hands full-to keep everything going just right, and that has been my ambition. I wish you ‘would say, however, that I appreci‘ate the efforts of my Kendallville friends in my behalf during tbis% election and thank them one and all.”

Mr. Stanley as sheriff, was also glad to get over to shake hands with his many friends. Any man who rung for office twice, during one term just breaks even, and the second term gives them an opportunity not only to render better services to the people but to quit politics a little ahead of the game.—Kendallville Sun.

The New Stamps . Information has been received at the local post office that the postoffice department has in course of preparation a series of postage stamps of new design, known as the series of 1908, and that stamp books containing the new 2-cent stamps will be ready for issue to postmasters November 16. Announcement will be made later as to when the postmasters may obtain the other stamps of the new issue. Requisitions for postage stamps will be filled with the old designs until the supply of the department is exhausted, unless the postmasters indicate that the new stamps are desired. : The postage stamps of the new design are of 1,2,38, 4,5,6,7,8, 10, 13, 15 and 50-cent and $1 dencminations. The l-cent stamp bears a head of Benjamin Franklin in profile from Houdson’s bust. The border designs of all the dedominations are identical. Above the head are the words “U. S. Postage,” and below is the denomination. The size and shape of the stamps are the same as the geries of 1902. |

The Ligonier-Lagrange Railroad

J. N.-Babcock, president of, the proposed Ligonier-Lagrange railroad has issued the following statement: ““The citizens in the four townships through which the electrical line was proposed have said by ftheir votes that they donot favor financial aid by taxation, but we find quite a sentiment favorable to a liberal subscription if such a subscription would be any avail. The trouble in thig direction is 8o many are benefltted at the expense of a few but it is always thus personally we considered the tax system the more just and equitable. We are yet loyal to the undertaking because we certainly believe that the road is of estimable value to our town and community and the cause must not be abandoned if there is any prospect, be it ever 8o remote, and we are in hopes yet to be able to get some encouragement from the backers in Chicago tnihals alina in that alsey - in their office in that city,”

SLAYING OF FORMER SENATOR IN POLITICAL CLASH ENDS A BRILLIANT CAREER. MORE TROUBLE MAY - FOLLOW THE TRAGEDY Cooper’s Bullets Increases Bitterness in Tennessee and Neighboring States—Body Taken to Columbia, - Tenn., for Burial There. Nashville, Tenn.; Nov. 11l.—Messages by wire and mail from various seetions Tuesday testified to the tremendous sensation caused throughout the state and the south by the killing of former Senator Edward W. Carmack by young Robin Jones Cooper in a street duel here. Carmack’s brilliant career as a United States senator from Tennessee had made him one of the best known of national figures. Col. Duncan B. Cooper, father of young Robin Cooper, and who was with his son when the duel occurred, has.an extensive acquaintance and a legion of friends both in his own and various other states. =

More Trouble Likely.

Carmack’s race for the nomination as Democratic senator, in which he was defeated by Senator Robert L Taylor, and his more recent race for the governorship in which he was defeated by Gov. Patterson, have served to draw his following in the state closer to him, and his tragic end has :spread distress and bitterness among ithem. It is feared by some that the “end of the trouble is not yet, and it is sure to play a part in the coming political alignments. In each of Carmack’s recent campaigns feeling ran to fever heat and on both occasions Cooper was with the opposition. Once Dear Friends. In former years the men were dear friends, Carmack having declared in public print that Cooper was his benefactor. But friendship had been replaced by enmity which was more neticeable since Carmack became editor of ‘the Tennesseean following the late primary. Then the editorial attacks began which ¢ulminated in the killing, which sent a thrill through Tennessee. With constantly increasing crowds gut it and in the neighborhood, the Jwdy of Mr. Carmgack lay where he fell for half an hour before”if was removed to a funeral undertaking establishment. * . :

Remains Sent to Columbia.

There it was prepared for burial and then removed to the home of Frank Lander, business manager of the Tennesseean. Tuesday the remains were taken to Columbia, Tenn., for interment. Mr. Carmack was married at Columbia and had made that his home until he went with the Tennesseean. Mrs. Carmack had not yet become a resident of Nashville. Although almost prostrated, she came down and returned with the remains.

After the shooting the Coopers repaired te the near-by office of a physician, where young Cooper’s wound, which is slight, was dressed. ; Father and Son Arrested.

He and his father were placed under arrest. The wounded man, under charge of an officer, was“taken to a hospital and spent a quiet night. Tuesday he was reported as resting easy. Col. Cooper was taken to police headquarters and after a long conference with his attorney, James C. Bradford and a few other friends, he retired and was soon asleep. At an early hour ‘Tuesday morning his sleep was unbroken. Two warrants were sworn out agaijnst him, one ‘“accessory to murder,” and the other, “carrying a pistol.” : CASABLANCA TREATY IS SIGNED. French Envoy Puts Signature to Artic!es in Berlin. Paris, Nov. 11.—The foreign office has been advised from Berlin that M. Cambon, the French ambassador, and Baron von Waechter, the acting secretary for foreign affairs, Tuesday afternoon signed an agreement in settlement of the Casablanca incident.

Tsing-Tao, Nov. 11.—The port of Tsing-Tao has been practically boycotted by Chinese importers, whe will also attempt a boycott against the railway which has inaugurated the For-eign-Chinese Transport Company,. offering service to Chefoo and Wei-haien. ] -Women See Killing. Newark, N. J, Nov. Ill.—Several hundred .employes, many of them young women, Tuesday witnessed the killing of Francis Embriana by Pietro Disconti, near a large. factory in Harrison, and instantly pursued the slayer. They quickly captured the man. Postmaster Morgan Improves. New York, Nov, 11.—Postmaster Edward M. Morgan, who was shot by Eric H.

| Spying in the School Room -That is a queer sort of school board with which the people of Fitchburg,Massachusetts are blessed. Because a girl pupil who was appointed *‘school policemen’ against her desire refused to report every infringement of the rules by- the other pnpils she was expelled. Her father brought suit for damages and was awarded $5OOO. Despite that, the school board refuses to reinstate the girl, and the father, who is sending her to a private school, will send the bill to the public school authorities. $ - Normal sympathy would go to the pupil and her father if they needed any, but they don,t need it. They are winners instead of the absurd board. It is & common practice in some schools to appoint ‘‘school policemen”’ or ‘‘monitors’’ to watch out for infractions of ‘‘rules” that make the school room a place of mental torture for many pupils. In other schools there is-what is called an *honor system” in which all pupils are obliged to report the misbehavior of all other pupils. In the main it is supposed that both systems worked well so far as deportment was concerned, But some attention should be given to the broader life beyond the school. There should be taken into consideration the probable personal effect of any system of espionage and spying. In the old-days even the severe teacher despised the ‘tattler” and sometimes the tattler instead of his intended victim was punished. The tattler was always despised. Is a spy nowadays despised the less because he is appointed to the office? If he is, human nature has changed greatly in a few bunches of years. #iThe healthy minded boy or girl naturally shrinks from playing the

spy against other pupils. There are few parents who would find pleasure in the information that their children were spies, official or unofficial. Tbge is something repugnant in the very thought of such a thing. There is something more repugnant in the rule of the Fitchburg school board that a pupil serve as official spy against his or her desire and inclination. That rule ought to be abolished. — Harrisburg ;, Star-Indepen-dent. : :

The Right Spirit

‘We commend the course of Mr. John L. Keteham, of the Brown--Keteham. Iron Werks, toward. his. employes, as shown in the noon-day meeting yesterday (Friday), addressed by Mr. John W. Holzman. Mr. Holzman was presented by the proprietor of the works as a neighbor and friend, with whom Mr. Ketcham differed 1n politics, but in whom he recognized a patriotic citizen. ~ After Mr. Holzman's speech Mr. Keteham addressed the men and said that it was not .only their privilege, but their duty to exercise their own free will in voting. He himself spoke as a Republican and would be glad to convert any of the: opposite faith, but there would be no attempt at coercion and the fullest patriotism called for the exercise of absolute‘* freedom of action. Here, certainly is an oasis in the political desert. A speech of this sort is calculated to develop the most harmonious relations between employer and employe and to lend dignity to citizenship.— Indianapolis News.

’_Chlcago- Stock Show Records are Again Broken . Once more the International Live Stock exposition, which will be held in Chicago from Nov. 28 to Dec. 10 has accomplished the seemingly impossible by again showing a most phenomenal increase in entries. Once more all past records have been demolished and once more we are brought to realize that interest is not waning in this, the greatest of live stock shows—this leading ex-‘ ponent of the live stock industry—and that this great annual event is becoming more popular from year to year. Even though feeding operations have been exceedingly light during the past year, we still find an increased, number of -entries in the

exhibit, -judging from the entries received, will be the greatest ever gseen in this or any other country. Horses, whose lineage dateg. back into the dark ages, will be seen in the ring beside the most splendid specimens of the English and Scottish types, whose equals have never before been brought together injsuch numbers in the history of the show ring. The number of exhibitors in the sheep department exceeds that of any previous year, and in quality their exhibits will far surpass anything ever seen here in the past, as the entries show them to contain some of the choicest importations made in this country in recent years. In the swine department all the leading types will again be represented and the quality will be superior to that of any barrow show ever seen on this continent. All these and many other new features give promise of making the coming exposition the greatest in the history of this splendid series of events; and no one, be he ever so distantly connected with live stock—therightarm of our basic industry, agriculture—can afford to miss this exceptional opportunity for education, entertainment and & pleasure trip in one. .

: A Startling Nemesis : The ancient Greeks believed that there was a special deity who took note of the actions of men, and at sometime, sooner or later, but always surely, exacted the penalty for their misdeeds. This deity was named Nemesis—retribution. She was fabled as the daughter of Night, and particularly pursued the proud {and insolent with inflexible justice and unescapable punishment,. In Fall River, Massachusetts, a recent Sunday, Nemesis took the form of a wronged woman, and exeeuted her vengeance with poetic : justice dramatic effect. The marriage of Charles J. Reagan, bankér, and Miss Mary B. Chadwick was the social event of the season. The church was filled ‘with friends. After the ceremony the bride and members of the wedding party started down the aisle ‘as the ‘wedding march was played. A closely veiled: woman clad in black rose, picked up a four- | year-old boy and held him out to Mr. Reagan. e { “Stop ! Charles Reagan,” she cried. “ Miss—Miss Sullivan?” gasped Reagan.
