This equals the Sweet Marie record, second heat made in 1907, and sets a. new world’s record in the time made by a gelding on a race track during a race. Highball did the quarter in 29:3-4, the half in one minute flat, and the three-quarter in 1:30 3-4. He won the race in straight heats.

FOR REHEARING [iovernment’s ‘Latest Move in Ol Trust Case. i BELIEVE COURT IN ERROR Attorneys for the United Statcs De’ clare That Judge Landis’ Decision Was Overruled on but a Single Point 'and They Assert the Court of Appeals Has Not Correctly Stated His Ruling on This Subject. Chicago, Aug. 22—The govern~ ment’s petition for a rehearing by the United States court of appeals of the case against the Standard Oil tompany of Indiana was filed here and represents, it is authoritatively stat- ed, the administration’s attempt to save the Elkins act and the interstate commerce law from becoming futile. The filing of the petition marked the appearance of Attorney General Bonaparte in the case, as well as that ot Frank B. Kellogg, who is a special assistant to the attorney general. Be- tides these two names the petition is signed by Edwin W. Sims, United Btates district attorney at Chicago, and Special Assistant James H. Wil- kerson, both of whom presented the government’s side of the case in the original hearing before Judge Landis, who administered the famous fine of $29,240,000 against the defendant. Although it is not specifically stated In- the petition' it was agreed by coun- sel for the government in their con- lerence at Lenox, Mass., following the reversal by the appellate court of Judge Landis’ decision, that if the in- terpretation of the law given by Judges Grosscup, Seaman and Baker was allowed to stand successful prose- cution of rebate cases against cor- porations would be impossible in the luture. The lawyers at that confer- snce, over which the attorney general »f the United States presided, were a anit in expressing the opinion that the reforms in rebate matters brought bout by the Roosevelt administration would represent so much waste of lime unless the upper court can be convinced that it is in error in its sonstruction of the law. Overruled on Single Point. “On but a single point involved in the trial up to the return of the ver- lict of guilty,” says the petition, “are ihe rulings of the trial court eriti- tised by the court of appeals. In all sther particulars his rulings are sus- iained. The point on which the trial |udge is reversed by the court of ap peals relates to his ruling on evidence wnd his charge to the jury with refer- tnce to ignorance on the part of the Btandard Oil company of the lawful rate as a defense. The court of ap- peals, in its opinion, has not correctly stated how the judge ruled on this Jubject.” Continuing, the petition declares that whereas the opinion of the court of appeals states that Judge Landis refused to admit evidence to the ef- lect that the Standard Oil company iid not know what the lawful rate was the record of proceedings in the lower court shows that such evidence was admitted. Although the goverfiment points out nhat it considers other errors in the spinion of the appellate court the alle- ation that the Standard Oil did know that it was not paying the legal rate Is regarded as the.vital point. If with the evidence introduced at the trial before Judge Landis it can be held that the defendant did not have guilty knowledge of its own acts then suc- tessful prosecution of similar cases is tegarded as impossible. All the years of legislation designed to correct re- bate abuses would have to be re- pealed. RETALIATORY MEASURE. Royal Dutch Line Discontinues Ven- ezuelan Service. Willemstad, Curacao, Aug. 22— Each day brings a development in the dificulty between The Netherlands and Venezuela, indicating retaliatory measures on the one side or the other.

Chicago, Aug. 22.—Prosperity has returned to the country and the year of 1909 will be a period of profitable business activity.- Such is the opinion expressed in the eighth annual “crop and business re- port” issued by the Commercial Na- tional bank of Chicago. The report is based upon answers to inquiries made of over four thousand ®ankers, busi- pess houses and crop authorities in all of the states of the Central West, ‘West and South. . While the report does not indicate i CHARLES E. MAGOON. ‘Washington, Aug. 22.—Charles E. Magoon, provisional governor of Cuba, has arrived here. -He called on the secretary of war and had an extended conference with him.. Governor Ma- goon will go to Oyster Bay Tuesday next and expects to be back in Cuba by Sept. 1. Governor Magoon said he saw no likelihood of difficulty in turn- ing over the islands to the Cuban gov- ernment. He spoke in the highest terms concerning the general condi- tion of the people of the island. that the yield -of various €rops “Will equal what might have been expected, judged by the ordinary advance of one year over its predecessor, never- theless the situation -is one of great satisfaction and particularly so with reference to the farmer. “With the harvesting and moving of crops,” says the report, “and the flow of money into the pockets of the farmer thers must come inevitably general replenishment of stocks of merchandise. The profits of the year are, or soon will be, in hand and there will be a strong demand for articles of necessity and of luxuries unthought of except after the harvest time. The process of restocking stores throughout the farming area is being generally counted upon to make the fall months active and profitable.” Fires Under Control. Vancouver, B. C., Aug. 22.—Most of the forest fires in this district are un- der control, but damage is still being done on standing {imber. Not any settlements are believed to be in dan- ger. EXPECTS RUSH OF FREIGHT BUSINESS Merchant Says Advance in Rates Will Be Unnecessary. Chicago, Aug. 22.—“By the time the election is over the railroads will have s0 much business they will not think of advancing freight rates.” In this way Fred W. Upham, pres- ident of the Iilinois Manufacturers’ association and leader of the ship- pers’ fight against the rate increase, commented on the statement made by 'W. C. Brown, senior vice president of the New York Central lines, that the aggressive crusade for a new freight adjustment will be delayed until after the presidential campaign. “I believe the railroads will have so much business before long that théy ‘will not be able to handle it,” said Mr. Upham. “I think the roads will see that they do not need an advance in rates to make their profits normal. Unless I am greatly mistaken they will then let’the. matter drop alto- gether.” Mr. Brown, however, in an inter view at Paulsmiths, N. Y., stated that the railroads will continue a cam- paign of education in an effort to “in- form the public as to the momentous issues involved in the freight tariff problem and thus prepare the people generally for careful and final con- sideration of the matter.” GORGEOUS SPECTACLE. Sydney Brilliantly llluminated in Honor of Americans. Sydney, N. S. W., Aug. 22.—Follow- Ing the official landing of the Amer- ican visitors and their public recep- tion by the state and commonwealth authorities the city, the harbor and the shipping were brilliantly illu- minated. The governor of New South Wales, Sir Harry Rawson, gave an sficial dinner in honor of the Amer- lcan officers and the commonwealth government entertained the officers, gailors and marines of the fleet at theater parties and other places of amusement. The illuminations were most striking. ~All the public build- Ings were outlined with numberless lights. There were .countless deviges and decorations conveying sentiments of welcome and fraternity displayed on every hand, private buildings vied with the municipal edifices in the brilliancy of their decorations, while the American battleships in the har- bor did their full share, being liter- ally covered with lights, large and small,” while the flashlights threw vivid streams of brilllancy in every direction and even to the clouds over- head. The gorgeous spectacle was| viewed by vast crowds that filled the streets’ 6f Sydney until a late hour. The state banquet given by Admiral Sir Harry Rawson in the town hall was a brilliant function. There were upwards of one thousand guests and the balconies were thronged with la- dies in evening dress. Charles G. ‘Wade, the premier of New South ‘Wales, presided.

Springfield, TIL, Aug. 22.—Military rule has cehsed in Springfield, the militia force there being reduced to one regiment and the task of preserv- ing order being turned over to the Assured. civil authorities. The First cavalry broke camp at daylight and the Sev- enth infantry patrols were withdrawn from the streets. Sheriff Werner had an increased force of deputies on duty and the city police was reinforced by a few special policemen. Except for the closed saloons and the ruined homes and business houses in some of the streets there was nothing to in- dicate that a week ago the city had been in the hands of an uncontrolled mob. . The early mornings hours were practically without incident. One case of shooting was reported from the northeast section of the city, a sentry asserting that some one had dis- charged a double barreled shotgun in his direction. ‘The “Shafter cavalry” was sent from the jail headquarters, but no trace of the marauders was found. No announcement has yet been made as to when the Seventh infantry will be ordered home. This regiment was the strongest numerically in the capital. Its departure will depend upon the ahility of the police and sheriff’s forces to prevent further dep- redations. Indictments have been returned against several alleged leaders of the mob, charging murder, malicious mis- chief and riot. GRAND JURY AT WORK. Intended to Indict Atlantic City Gam- blers and Divekeepers. Mays Landing, N. J., Aug. 22—The grand. jury summoned by Supreme Court Justice Trenchard at the re- quest of Governor Fort to investigate gambling and Sunday liquor selling in Atlantic City, N. J,, began its session here after listening to a charge by Justice Trenchard. The justice.de- clared that gambling in the resort must come to a halt. He reviewed the provisions of the Bishop law, which prohibits the sale of liquor on Sundays, and concluded by denounc- ing keepers of “dives” and the sellers of vulgar postal cards. In his charge he touched on practically every point brought out in Atlantic City in the recent investigation by the state ex- cise commission, which found that liquor was sold openly on Sundays. He urged the jurors to make a most thorough inquiry and indict in all in- stances where the evidence so war- ranted. A great crowd was in the courtroom when the session began. Among the witnesses summoned before the grand jury are the members of the state ex- cise commission and leading citizens of the resort, who have been connect- ed with the reform movement, to- gether with one or two members of the New Jersey crimes commission. { ‘Quasur Ajouy ‘ose)) 70-g " *reradg -9A0Jy Po[eMol A LS (T4 'SPECIAL PRICES on all watches except HAMILTON’S SATURDAY, AUGUST 22, '08 The largest stock of watches and the finest equipped work- shop in Northern Minnesota.
