GETS IMMUNITY PLEDGE
IIOAD WHICH O.WK EVIDENCE
AGAINST STAN DA III) OIL NOT
TO IJE PltOSKCCTEI).
Washington, Aug. 14. It became
known today that the Chicago A Al
ton Railroad was given an Immunity
bath for Its part In connection with
Illegal rebates for which the Stand
ard Oil Company was recently con
victed and lined $29,240,000. Aa a
reason It Is probable that the cases
against the Alton Company, which
might have carried with them Ones
amounting to several millions of dol
lars, will be dropped. It appears
that former Attorney-General Moody,
now a Justice of the Supreme Court
of the United States, under whose di
rection the Standard Oil cases were
Instituted, used tho Chicago & Alton
to gain the Information necessary to
eonvlct the octupus. Special Counsel
Morrison, formerly United States Dis
trict Attorney for the Chicago dis
trict, It Is understood, promised the
Alton Immunity from prosecution In
return for Information furnished. In
all probability this was not known
to Judgo I-midld, but the Department
of Justice, fooling the moral obliga
tion Imposed by Mr. Morrison's work,
has fully Informed Judgo I.nndls of
the situation.

A TERRILE MISTAKE
YOUNG GIRL SENTENCED TO
JAIL FOR TWENTY MONTHS
. SERVES TWENTY YEARS
Montgomery, Ala., Aug. 14 Rena
Rivers, whft died a few days ago In
prison at one of the State mines,
had served the State as a convict for
nearly thirteen years on a sentence
that was only for twenty months.
The clerk, when the papers were
made out, made a mistake in calling
the number of years instead of
months. The girl was only about 12
years of age, and was sent up from a
poorly settled part of the State,
where the courts at that time were
crudely administered.
She was arraigned for larceny,
and went through the trial, and was
given a light sentence of less than
two years. In a few days she was
sent to the mines, and there she r
malned until her death recalled who
she was.
She was charged at the prison
with a twenty-year term, and
through her confinement, for con
siderably more than twelve years,
with the allowance made for her ex
cellent behavior In prison, she was
all but through the term with which
she was charged.
Because of her good conduct she
had for a long time been a trusty at
the prison. Her death recalled the
circumstances of her unjust Impris
onment, and her mother, who Is In
tho employ of Judge R. H. Walker,
a well known lawyer of Houston
county, Informed her employer of the
circumstances, so far as she knew
them.
Ho investigated the matter for the
aged negress and found the state
ments as to the original sentence be
ing for only twenty months, despite
the fact that she was docketed for
twenty years at the prison, to be
correct. He Is now In Montgomery
urging the Legislature to pass an set
reimbursing the mother for tho years
of service nf her daughter, of whlih '
she was deurived by the error of the
court official.

BANDIT RELEASES
TITLED PRISONER
SIR HARRY MACLEAN GIVEN HIS
LIBERTY BY OUTLAWS WHO
HELD HIM PRISONER.
Morocco Rejoices When Raisull Gives
Freedom to Sultan's Commander-in-Chief.
Paris, Aug. 14. Some hope of re
lief in a gloomy situation Is con
tained in the news of the release of
Blr Harry MacLean by the bandit
Raisull. Reports from Tangier say
that the titled hostage was handed
over by his captor to the Elkmers
tribesmen, who gave him his free
dom. It Is believed that Sir Harry Mac
Lean, commander-in-chief of the Sul
tan's forces, can bring some order
and discipline out of the now demor
alized troops and march them to the
aid of the French soldiers who, under
General Drude, are battling so
bravely against tremendous odds In
Casa Blanca. Moreover, it Is be
lieved that RaUull would never
have relieved his captor had he not
realized that the critical situation
foretold a bloody vengeance from the
Europeans, led by the French aa soon
as reinforcements arrived on the
coast and could be sent Into the in
terior. Though the more fanatic among
the natives are enthusiastic about
throwing off the foreign rule and are
preaching a holy war of extinction,
the shrewdest of the leaders realize
that In the long run It will be hope
less to cope with the French Govern
ment, which is bound to triumph
over the poorly armed and poorly
organised native forces.
Raisull, after an abortive attempt
to kidnap MacLean's beautiful
daughter, who is known as the "Em
press of Morocco," made away with
the father, and for a long time has
been holding him for ransom. How
ever, feeling the direction of the dip
lomatic wind, he no longer dared to
keep him prisoner, as he did the
American, Ion Perdlcarls, but freed
him. The bandit understood that If
MacLean met his death In the troub
lous times which now confront Mo
rocco he would have to pay an awful
trice tor the life of his prisoner.
