8MALL HOPE IN TENNESSEE.
Remaining Standard Csses Desperate
Rebate Law About Dead.
Washington, March 12. The offi
cials of the department of justice to
day again declined to discuss what
further action woud be taken by the
government with respect to the several
other criminal cases against the Stand
ard Oil company for accepting rebate
now pending in the courts for the
Northern District of Illinois. It is un
derstood, however, that Messrs. Wil
kerson and Sims, the government at
torneys, will come to Washington
within the next few days for a confer
ence with Attorney General Wicker
sham, when it is presumed a course of
action will be decided on.
The decision of the court in the $29,
240,000 fine case leaves still pending
in the Chicago District court three
double cases, in which two separate
grand juries have found indictment.
These three double cases are under
stood to be similar, if not identical,
with the case decided yesterday.
Consideration already has been given
by government counsel to the case of
the United States against the Standard
Oil company, which shortly is to come
to trial at Jackson, Tenn.
The indictment in that case contains
1,500 counts, the specific charges being
that the Standard shipped from Whit
ing, Ind., to various points in the
South '.,500 or more carloads of oil on !
which concessions in rates were made
by the railroads.
The decision of the Circuit court at
Chicago is not binding as a matter of
law on the Tennessee judge, who may
try the case, aa be is not in the same
circuit, but it is considered likely that
he may follow the Chicago court so far
as the two cases have similarity. The
Tennessee case probably wijl be heard
by Judge John E. McCall, of the west
ern district of Tennessee.

Atlantic Station Pick Up Fragments
of Appeal for Help From Sea.
Boston, March 12. Another sea
tragedy has been revealed to naval
operators at the government wireless
station at Charleston navy yard and
Newport by fragmentary messages re
ceived through the ether. Whether
the breaks in the message are caused
by the distress on board the vessel
sending them or not is not known. Not
enough has been received at either sta
tion to locate or identify the craft in
trouble.
"In distress, notify life-saving sta
tions west south east ," is the
way the message was read at Newport
Another wireless station picked up
fragments of a message about the same
time which were in effect that a vessel
was drifting in distress off the New
Jersey coast The word "Trainer"
was among other unconnected words
received and this led to the supposition
that tbe message might have referred
to the schooner "Ann B. Trainer,"
which was reported early in the week
aa drifting without masts off the Vir
