COURT OF APPEALS
IGNORED VITAL FACTS
San Francisco, July 23 The Call this
morning expresses the opinion that the
United Stales circuit court of appeals
took too narrow a view of Its responsi
bility to the people when It reversed
Judge I,andls' fine In the Standard Oil
case. It ravs:
"The United States circuit court of
appeals has disappointed expectation
by reversing the Judgment of Judge
Land Is Imposing a fine of $29,240,000
on the Standard Oil company of Indl
ana. It Is a narrow and purely tech
tilcal nnlnl. anA tc-nores altogether th
law of agency that makes a principal
responsible lor tbe act or his agent.
This Is not a criminal case In the or
u.nary sense, where responsibility
miKht not attach to a principal, du
rather an assessment of damages
aaalnst tle parent company. If It be
regarded strictly in the light of a crim
inal orosecutlon, then the oil trust was
assuredly an accessory before the
crime."
The Chroniclers comment is brief. It
savs :
"The opinion was freely expressed
some time ago that Judge Landls had
made a blunder In piling up the
amount, and It Is sustained bv the de
clston, which holds that he erred in de
termining the number of offenses by
the number of. carload lots, instead of
bv the number of transactions.
The Hearst paper is silent on the de
cision.
STANDARD OIL STOCK
SCORES BIG ADVANCE
New York, July 28. Stockholders of
Standard Oil company and John D.
Rockefeller In particular have good
grounds for elation In the reversal of
Judge Landls' decision.
Todiv ioh and every stockholder of
the big N"w Jersey corporation is
richer by $22 a share than before the
decision of yesterday. Yesterday the
oil stock was quoted on the curb at
$640 a share but today the price Jumped
to H62 n snare bid nut none was or
fereil under $fiS0, or within $20 a share
of the highest price the stock ever
brought. That was in 1906.
During the financial depression
Standard Oil stock was hard hit. It
dropped to ?3 CO or n loss from the high
point In !. or sio a share. Its ad
vance from the low point means $272 a
share additional to shareholders.

Honolulu. July 23. The principal
topic of conversation today Is a story
to the effect that Lieutenant Prank T.
Kvans, son of Rear Admiral Robley D.
Evans, struck Lieutenant-Commander
J. F. Carter of the battleship Georgia
in the face In an altercation on board
the battleship Tuesday nlsrht It la
stated that a courtmarttal will follow.
Every effort was made to keftD the .
story quiet, but it became known last
evening Just before the departure of
the fleet. It was stated by the sailor
who witnessed the affair that Evans
had the better of the encounter and .
would have injured his opponent seri
ously had not other officers interfered
and separated the two men.
The Incident happened lust after Car
ter had gone aboard his ship after ap
pearlng in court to answer to the
charge of attacking F. B. Moore, a
Honolulu newspaper man. It Is thought
the quarrel between Evans and hla su
perior officer had something to do with
the incident.
The two men talked a little while and
then Evans suddenly dealt Carter a
stinging blow in the face. almost
knocking him down.
