lourt of Appeals Annuls Great
Standard Oil Fine.
GOVERNMENT IS TO TRY AGAIN
Judges Render Unanimous Decision
That First Trial Was Unfair
Result Is Surprise.
Chicago, July 23. The United States
Circuit Court of Appeals yesterday re
versed and remanded for re-trial the
case of the government against the
Standard Oil company of Indiana, in
which Judge Landis, in the District
court, had imposed n fine of ?2,'.U0,
000. The government has 30 days
within which to file a petition for a re
hearing and it was announced that it
will be filed within the nlloted time.
The decision came as a complete sur
prise to the government otllcials, who
believed the trial judge would bo up
held. , L
Judge Grosscup, who delivered the
opinion, left little of the contention
that each carload at the G-ccnt rate
constituted a separate otTcnse. Even
the shipment, of which there were
about 600, could not be so considered
under the ruling of the court. The
fine should have been based on settle
ments between the railroad and the oil
company. Of these there were just
36. The maximum fine on this basis
would amount to but $720,000, and tho
minimum $36,000 the latter figure
being considerably lower than tho
$223,000 which the Standard is alleged
tojhavc received as rebates on the ship
ments in question.

sult From European War.
Berlin, July 23. Showing that a
European war at this time would cost
?16,000,000,000 annually and would re
sult In tho United States becoming tho
undisputed leader of the world, General
Illume, the famous military expert,
today submitted a report, ordered by
Emperor William, on the probable cost
of an international fight.
If Germany were to fight another
Europe n power, General Blume says,
it would cost the empire $1,500,000,
000 a year In direct outlay and entail a
loss of $2,500,000,000 annually to the
in the paralysis of commerce.
General Illume declares that, owing
to the delicate adjustment of European
politics, the next war will involve at
least four powers, and that his esti
mate of cost would apply to each.
The financial drain would not result
otherwise than in the worfcl supremacy
of the United States, he says.

the United States ami Ureal iirtiain
Here the prince received the addresae

Children's Disease Kills Ten a
Day In
Chicago.
Chicago, July 24. Nineteen out of
every 100 Chicago babies under 1 year
of age have died during the first 22
days of July. This is about ono-fourth
of the quoted death rate of the city.
There have been 10 deaths daily from
bowel disease of children under 2
years of age.
One of the noteworthy points of the
city physician's report is in an Italian
section of the city-Gault Court.
Here it was expected that, owing to
tho very congested conditions, a de
plorable state of affairs would be re
vealed. Just the reverse was found.
Crowds were there, and dirt was
there, but babies, strange to say, were
unaccountably healthy ami strong.
According to Dr. Heman Spalding,
of tho Health department, the common
house fly is one of the great contribu
tors to the complaints prevalent among
the city's children.
