ing that may again bring the Alton
before a Federal court as a defendant.
Instead of discharging the cecial
Grand Jury called to indict the Alton
he framed another attack. He or
dered that a subpoena bb issued for
James A. Moffett, president of tbe
Standard Oil Company of Iudlana,
and instructed the jury to investigate
insinuations made by Moffett.
Judge Landis produced a booklet
written by Moffett, in which the $29,
2 40,000 fine assessed by Judge Lan
dis against the Standard . was ridi
culed, and read this charge:
"Thousands of tons of freight have
been shipped from these points dur
ing the fifteen years past under the
same circumstances as the Standard
shipments, and if the Standard is
guilty in this case so is practically
every other shipper in this great man
ufacturing territory. Is there a pur
pose in selecting the Standard as the
victim?" '
Then with an arm extended toward
the jurors and in an impressive voice,
the Judge said :
"I hope I do not need to say to you
.gentlemen that the highest ambition
I have as an occupant of this bench
is that no man may truthfully allege
what is contained in this pamphlet
I charge you to listen to the testi

.give careful attention to it. And if
he gives you information conflrma
tory of these alleged statements, you
need no instruction from me as to
what you are called upon to do other
than to do your full duty
Judge Landis' action is regarded as
one of the most drastic moves that
have been made against officials of
the oil corporation during the entire

breaking his silence of five days re

him in ten months last year by First
Vice President A. B. Andrews of the
Southern Railway.
Drewry says that two years ago,
then owning an interest in the paper
he approched Andrews and asked
him how he would like to see a large
afternoon paper in Raleigh. Andrews
replied that he would greatly like it,
as The News and Observer had never
treated him or the Southern fairly,
bearing personal animosity against
both, and he insisted ofl an impar

She has been ill with nervous trouble
for about six months, but had not
given any signs of mental derangement.
Mrs. Mund killed the boy Christ
first. He was asleep on a mattress in
the parlor. She wrapped a blanket
about his head, covering his face, tied
a clothesline about his neck, turning
it around three times, drew it tight
and fastened it by several knots.
When found his body was half on tne

Helen was next slain. This child
was asleep in a crib in the parlor.
Mrs. Mund wound a clothesline
around the little one's rfeck twice,
and after Strangling the child she
carried the body into the bedroom,
put it on the bed and covered it with
a quilt.
Freda, the baby, was the last vic-

killed her in the carriage. She tied

Judge Landis' denunciation of the
tactics employed by the directors of
the New Jersey corporation after the
imposition of the $29,240,000 fine on
the Standard of Indiana was couched
in language that could not, be mis
taken. In the pamphlet distributed broad
cast throughout the couutry the
Standard Oil Company takes the posi
tion that it was persecuted rather
than prosecuted by the Government,
and the flat statement is made that
other corporations are just as culpa
hle of the practice of rebating as is
the oil concern. This is what Mr.
Moffett has been given an opportunity
o prove.
If Mr. Moffett accepts the challenge
of Judge Landis and makes good on
his chargss, it is predicted that whole
sale prosecutions of shippers in the
Whiting district may follow.
In Informing the Grand Jury that
lit had no duty to perform 'vith refer
ence to the Alton, thereby granting
the railroad immunity from prosecu
tion for rebates granted the Standard
'Oil Company of Indiana, Judge
Landis followed the recommendation
of Attorney-General Bonaparte, who
in a letter addressed to United States
District Attorney Sims and read by
him in court, set forth that the De
partment of JuT:ce could not in good
Xaitfe proceed against the Alton in
"view of promises made to the officials
o" the road in return for their testi
mony. Tt was on this testimony that
the Standard Oil Company was found
guilty and fined $29,240,000.

returned it, and that it was credited

Wheeling, W. Va., Special. Eight
were killed and a score injured, a
number fatally, at Bellaire, 0., at
3:15 Saturday afternoon when the
Chicago and Wheeling express train
on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
chashed into a freight train which
was. moving slowly on a siding.
The wreck" was due, it is said, to
the failure of an operator to throw
a switch. The west-bound freight
had received orders to meet the pas
senger at the western limits of th"
Bllaire yard, and was moving slow
ly along the siding. At the point
where the wreck occurred there is a
veiy sharp curve which prevents the
engineers of the east-bound trains
from seeing more than a few feet
ahead. The passenger train swune
around the curve very rapidly being
tbice hours late, and should have
gone on the safety on the main line.
The switch to the siding, however,
had not been turned and the train
?hot into the siding and into the
freight. There was scarcely time to
apply the air brakes and on time
for the negineers to jump. The two
big egines were reduced to junk by
the impact, but the worst damage
was done to the smoker which was
telescoped so completely by the bag
bage car that every seat was throwa
out of the coach.. Every occupant of
the smoker was badly injured. The

have left the assets of the company
$28. 000, 000. Since then the com
pany has admitted a deficit of $10,
