ChicagoMarch 10. "Not guilty."
This is the result reached yesterday
in the government's famous suit against
the Standard Oil company of Indiana.
The suit wherein the defendant com
pany at one time faced a fine of $29,-
240.000 at the hands of Judge Landis
on a charge of having accepted rebates
from the Chicago & Alton railroad,
came to an end abruptly. Judge An
derson, before whom the case was
brought after reversal by the United
States Court of Appeals, instructed the
jury to find a verdict of not guilty.
Judge Anderson s decision was not
altogether unlooked for, he having pre
viously announced that the proof re
lied upon at the first trial was incom
petent and it was with something of
an air of hopelessness that District
Attorney Sims and his assistants at
tempted to show the admissibility of
the Illinois classification to prove the
existence of a legal rate of 18 cents,
Thib was a vital point in the government
contention. Assistant District Attor
ney Wilkerson admitted that the pros
ecution could not supply the proof
deemed necessary and suggested, dis
missal. John S. Miller then moved for
an instruction verdict of not guilty.
This was ordered.
As to whether prosecution on seven
other indictments still pending against
the company will be instituted, Mr,
Sims would not express an opinion,
stating that this rested entirely with
the attorney general.

NEW STOCK-RAISING PLANT.
Hybrid Alfalfa Likely to Be a Great
Success.
LaCrosse, Wis., March 11. With
three varieties of Siberian alfalfa, a
clover which grows north of the Arctic
circle, and some 300 other varieties of
seeds suitable to the semi-arid region
of the West, Professor Niels Ebbsen
Hansen, chief plant explorer of the
United States Department of Akricul
ture, has returned from a nine months'
trip in lands rarely visited by an Amer
ican.
It was Professor Hansen's third trip
to Northern Siberia and his fourth to
the highest latitudes of European Rus
sia. He intends to combine the best
elements of alfalfa of four continents
and of all climates in a plant which
will withstand the coldest weather and
which will, it is claimed, make this
country the greatest producer of beef
and mutton in the world.
Grocer Who Sold Equine Sausages
Comes to Grief, Too.
Chicago, March 10. J. J. Schmidt,
a butcher at Ubicaso Heights, was
found guilty today in Judge Kersen's
court of selling diseased horse flesh
which had been made up in sausage.
The conviction followed an investiga
tion started by butchers in Chicago
Heights and Harvey, who were unable
to understand why Schmidt could sell
his product at a lower price than they
could afford.
Schmidt's sausages were said to
have gained such a reputation for
sweetness of flavor that he was able to
sell great quantities. This is believed
to have caused the enmity of his com
petitors, with the result that they ex
amined his product. The butcher was
convicted under the state law prohibit
ing the sale of diseased cattle. The
penalty is a year in jail, and a fine of
11,000. Schmidt s attorneys entered a
motion for a new trial. Assistant
State's Attorney George Gunther pros
ecuted the case.
