Appeal Court Refuses Rehear
' ing on Great Rebate
Case.
SUPREME COURT TO DECIDE
All Government's Pleas Overruled
and Prosecutors Severely Lec
tured Appeal to Be Taken
and Xcw Cases Tried.
CHICAGO. Nov. in A rehearing of the
nppal,of the Standard Oil Company of
Indiana from the sentence of J29.24O.00O
fine imposed by United States District
Judge Landis In the Government's prose
cution for receiving rebates from the
Alton Railroad was denied today by the
United States Circuit Court of Appeals,
presided over by Judge Jrossoup. The
Government will appeal to the United
States Supntme Court for a writ of cer
tiorari as soon as possible.
Mew Suits to Be Tried.
Meanwhile additional suits against the
Standard OH Company of Indiana have
been fully prepared, and trials may be
demanded within two weeks. Two of the
suits charge rebating in connection with
shipments on the Chicago & Eastern
Illinois and In two the Kvansville & Terre
Haute Railroud was the line of shipment.
The case covers almost IxjO courts, upon
which Indictments were returned by Fed
eral jrrand Juries.
Cases In which charges of rebating are
made in connection with shipments over
the Chicago A Alton are also being pre
pared by the assistants of United States
Iistrict Attorney Sims, and scores of
witnesses In the three cases already have
been qmstioned.
In overruling the petition f6r a re
hearing, the Court quoted from its"
former opinion anil from Judge Landts"
"ruling to prove that the sentence was
really aimed at the Standard Oil Com
pany of New Jersey, which had never
been tried. The Court holds, as to the
plea that the Standard did not know
it was not paying the lawful rate, that
the testimony of Edward Bogardus only
went to the Jury on the Issue whether
he had made "diligent endeavor" to
ascertain the lawful rate, but that the
question as to whether he had knowl
edge of the lawful rate was excluded.
Severe Censure for Lawyers.
The Court severely censured . the
Government attorneys in the following
paragraph:
Courts have the r'.trht to eipeet that
rounMl McutiamMl to practice In the court,
of review not only know ths meaning of
legal term, contemplated in u.e in dis
ruptions and opinion, of thee count, but
will not nits" such term, to spread mis
information respecting a jurtument tliat. In
the nature of the rase, is bound to attract
wide public attention a remark the gT
rmin.ne.. of which the br cf the country
will perceive when we ,iy that all that
ha, to be done to obviate the objection
murie Is to Insert a clause so that the por
tion of the opinion objected to will read
"a view of the law that 1. embodied- In
the chars and carried out In the rullncs.

'H AH':K ON THAT POINT, the pronVred
r:TiTn"nv of one Kdward Rogardu, the

irytrted. ..fc
Single Offense Defined. ,
Judge Raker thus defined a single
i ffense of rebating, a point raised by
the court's condemnation of the Impo
sition of a seperate fine for each car
nal: The onVnse of accepting a concession I,
t'-.e trana'tion" that the g!en rebate
consummate not the unit or mere mea,
urcment of the physical thing transported,
but the transaction" n hereby the shipper.
f.r the thine shipped, no matter bow great
or how little It, quantity, received a rate
dirfrrcot from the established rate.
Jndce Rnkor sitlil that. If one cor
poration uses another corporation to
violate the law. it ought not to go un
punished, but a corporation "said to be
behind the party convicted" can only
be reached by Indictment, trial and
conviction by due process of law.
A stay of mandate was granted pend

he determined to take the rest of his

bile as a means to this end.

Vessels Long Tied t'p Begin to Move
and 1900 Promises to Be
Record-Breaker.
ABERDEEN, Wash., Nov. 10. (Special.)
The result of the election in the busi
ness, trade and industry of Grays Harbor
has been very marked and millowners,
merchants and business men generally
declare that the prospects are brighter
now than they have been in years. An
advance in freight has resulted In the
moving of vessels that have been tied
up and it is predicted that others, not
yet chartered, will be put Into commis
sion. The mills on Grays Harbor are all run
ning BteadiW and the output at present
reaches an aarCTegate of about 2.300.OM)
for , day. The only mill not running
Is the United States plant in South Ab
erdeen and there are rumors that negoti
ations are under way either for the sale of
this mill, or for its immediate operation.
A fact not generally known, is that the
mills of Grays Harbor have run more
steadily since tli panic than mills at
any other point on the Coast.
The demand for better grades of lum
ber is very active and a shortage of this
kind of lumber is reported. This condi
tion is said to be true of the entire Coast.
Rail trade is not expected to show any
material gain until after stocktaking
time, which is usually -the first of the
year. Stocks are reported to be lower
than for a long time and on account of
this, when the demand for lumber be
gins there will be brisk times all along the
line.
The season of 1 promises to be a record-breaker.
Logging camps which have
been closed for months are resuming op
erations. Logs are scarcer on Grays Har
bor today and waters tributary, than at
any lime for the past five years. Winter
is now setting in. and the output of logs
even with additional camps running, may
not help the situation very much and the
first of the year is expected to tind a
shortage in the supply. An advance
in price is predicted. Since the
election manufacturers report an active
inquiry concerning lumber, especially
from railroad companies and there are
Indications of a big demand from this
source.

MRS.HEED,HEIRESS
Had No Need of Money From
Woman She Tried to Kill.
INCOME $12,000 MONTHLY
Insane Wife of Denver Druggist Is
Found to Bo Daughter of East
ern Millionaire Tries to
Commit Suicide.
DENVER. Nov. 10. Further develop
ments as to the Identity of the woman
who yesterday threatened Mrs. Gene
vieve Chanler Phlrps with death unless
she delivered over J30.OX) within an hour,
show that it was not the need of money
that influenced her to attempt blackmail,
but must have been the suggestion of a
diseased mind.
After learning that the woman was the
wife of Allen Reed, druggist of this city,
the police investigated further and dis
covered that Mrs. Reed Is one of two
daughters of a Plttsneld (Mass.) mil
lionaire woolen manufacturer named
Campbell, who died recently, leaving a
large estate to his daughters. Mrs.
rmI'i iaconui from her .ha ra Is more
than $12,000 a month. Her sister is Miss
Jessie Campbell, a teacher of languages
at Vassar College.
Insane From Use of Drugs.
The police are convinced that Mrs.
Reed is insane, perhaps from the use of
drugs, and late today they turned her
over to the care of her husband, who
arrived from Buffalo Park, Colo., as
soon as he learned that his wtfe was in
trouble. Mr. Reed suggested that per
haps he would place his wife In a pri
vate sanitarium for treatment.
Although Mrs. Reed displayed mental
control- toward the last of her Inter
views with Chief of Police Armstrong,
she is unable to explain her attempt to
coerce Mrs. Phipps into giving her a
large sum of money and cannot remem
ber where she procured the dynamite
with which she threatened the life of
Mrs. Phtpps and her daughter, Helen.
One theory is that Mrs. Reed was re
turning from Pittsfield to Buffalo Park,
where she was to Join her husband at
the country home and, while stopping
off there between trains, she was struck
with the Idea of extorting money from
Mrs. Phlpps. It is evident that she In
tended to go on to Buffalo Park at first,
for all her trunks and baggage had been
checked for that station.
Tries to Kill Herself.
To Chief Armstrong and all others
who talked with her, she told an inco
herent, rambling, unsatisfactory story.
"I donlt know who I am; I don't
know where I am from," she moaned.
"I came to Denver from somewhere in
the East with Madame Leroy. She
had a strong influence over me and
said that she would help me. I met
her on the train. I was once very ill
and nearly died of brain fever and be
came accustomed to the use of mor
phine. "Madama Leroy made me lira.
Cones by suggestion. She was go
ing to cure me of that terrible mor
phine habit. I know that she told me
to do things and that I started out to
do them, but I don't remember what
they were."
Taking advantage of Chief of Polic
Hamilton Armstrong's momentary ab
sence from his private office, where he
had been investigating her case for some
time todav. Mrs. Reed made an attempt
to end her life by swallowing a quan
tity of morphine. That she was not
successful was due to the prompt action
of Chief Armstrong, who knocked the
tablets from her hand Just as she was
in the act of placing them in her mouth.
About 50 tablets, containing enough
morphine to kill six people, were scat
tered about the room.
