Chicago, Aug. 3. A flno of $29,
240,000 was Imposed upon tho
Standard Oil Company of Indiana
this morning by Judge LnndlB. In
concluding, hid sentenco Land Is sntd:
"Tho law prohibiting preforential
rnllroad rates was passed 20 years
ago. Its adoption was preceded by
opposition by tho bonoflclarlos of va
rious practices. Immediately there
after theso persons set about to do-
vlso plans for Its ovaslon. Tho do
crocs of tho courts and tho Inter
state commerce commission, show
tho employment of a largo varloty of
schemes to accomplish this result.
Finally, in 1903, tho Elklns law was
passed. Tho hopo was entertained
thnt tho law would put an end to
preferential ratoB, yot, beginning a
fow months thereafter, tho Stand
ard procured 1900 carloads of prop-
arty to bo shipped at an unlawful and
socrot rato. For this offonao tho El
klns law authorized tho punishment
of only flno, an obvious defect, which
is remedied, howovor, by tho prcsont
law prescribing imprisonment for
llko offenses. However, It is tho busi
ness of a Judgo to admlnlBtor tn
law aB ho flndB It, rnthor than to
oxpntlato upon tho ndoquacy of tho
punishment authorized for Its Infrac
tion. It is tho best Judgment nnd
sontonco of tho court that tho do
fondant, tho Standard OH Company,
pay a flno of $29,240,000. One thing
remains. It must not bo nsaumed
that In this Jurisdiction theso laws

rovlowed tho waybills and tariff
schedules, showing that upon tho ap
plication of tho Standard tho Alton
rendered tho trust officials a state
ment that tho rato of oil from Whit
ing, Indiana, to East St. Louis was
six conts, whereas tho rato to tho
public was 18 cents. This allogod
occurrence between tho traffic man
ager and rato clork will receive moro
detailed consideration hereafter, said
Landls. .
Landis said It was necessary to
know whether tho Standard accepted
tho concession knowingly, and de
clared that an honest search by hon
est raou would roveal tho legal rate.
Ho added: "Tho law will not permit
a shipper to assume that a certain
rato Is a legal ono; ; ho must know it.
Tho court is not Impressed by tho
doleful prediction of defendant's
counsel that tho enforcement of this
rulo would work a hardship on tho
honest shipping public." Tho court
construed tho law as not giving tho
defendant any immunity from pun
ishment, and said tho Standard had
been ba old offender. Tho decision
contains 7500 words, and It took the(
before. That sho may arrlvo In safe
