Chicago.--The Standard Oil com­ pany must stand trial on all but two of the ten indictments returned against it The contentions of the govern men t„ were sustained in all but these two contentions in the opinion handed down by Judge Landis in the United States circuit court Thursday, and under his ruling the oil trust will be compiled to fight against the im­ position of fines under these indict­ ments, which amount in" all to $129,- 000,000. The two Indictments found to T>e in­ sufficient are considered of minor im­ portance and District Attorney Sims Considers the ruling of the court a complete victory for the government, wiping out as it does the immunity bath appealed for by the attorneys for the Standard OIL Judge Landis' opinion was broad and comprehensive, and lawyers de­ clared it would have a far-reaching ef­ fect in tho regulation of Interstate commerce. Prepares for Bitter Fight.' It is expected that the cases can he bronght to trial some time during the present term and preparations are be­ ing made by the district attorney for a bitter fight. With the last tech­ nicality wiped out the struggle will now settle down to a question of fact, the fact at issue being whether the Standard Oil company was given a re­ bate by the railroads over which it shipped Its oil out of Whiting, Ind. The point raised by the defense was that the Indictments were returned after the Elkins law had been re­ pealed and before the new rate law went into effect and that therefore there was in existence no law under which they could properly have been indicted. Judge Landis held this rea­ soning to be without foundation, cit­ ing numerous cases and sections of the United states statutes in support of his position. 8ecret Rebates the Issue. It was further contended that the Elkins law, under which the indict­ ments are returned, did not prohibit the granting of a direct rebate, but only sought to discourage secret or In­ direct rebates. The court held this argument without foundation. It was urged also that because much" of the oil shipped was transported over several lines there could be no published rate within the meaning of the Elkins law, and that failure to so publish was no offense. Much stress was laid on the fact that the rebate paid to the Standard Oil company was in reality a refund of a storage charge. The court held that the storage charge constituted part of the rate within the meaning of the statute. The Indictments overruled charged that there was an agreement between a number of carriers for a certain rate higher than the one given the Stand­ ard. The court holds that the indict­ ments do not negative the fact that there might have been another through rate over the same lines. v The cases dismissed, which related to rebates in shipments of oil from Whiting, Ind., to Grand Junction, Tenn., contained a total of 103 counts.

Thousands Shaks Hand of Chief E* ecutlve---Large Number of Chlt> dren In'Une.li;;W>:':> Washington.--President Roosevelt's New Year's reception at the White House Tuesday was a bril­ liant function and was attended by about 8,500 persons. The members of the diplomatic corps, officers of the army and navy and representatives of the national and district governments and of the citizen public attended. President Roosevelt gave each of his callers a cordial shake of the hand. After the diplomats had been re-, ceived, Secretary and Mrs. Root left the line in the Blue room and one by one the members of the cabinet and! their wives deserted the president in order to hold receptions at their own homes. At one o'clock Mrs. Roosevelt left her husband's side and only the,, military and naval aides and Secre-I tary Wilson remained with him until | 'i the last person in the great throng" had passed through the Blue room. It was a perfect day. The sun shone brightly and the air was so warm that the thousands who stood In line for hours suffered no discom­ forts because of the ^weather. It was tion of negroes in line was smaller generally remarked that the propor- than Ih previous years, but a number of negro civil war veterans and Span­ ish war veterans joined with military and patriotic secretaries in extend­ ing greetings to the president There was an unusually large num­ ber of children in line and all were greeted cordially by the president. One of the most amusing figures in the line was a ten-year-old boy with soiled hands and clothes, who carried pair of roller skates thrown over his shoulder. The president laugbed heartily as he wished the little fellow a happy new year. A pretty little girl carried a great white Teddy bear past the receiving party and provoked a hearty laugh from the crowd gathered in the Blue room. Mrs. Longworth and the other chil­ dren of the president were at the White House for the reception and, with their young friends, moved con­ stantly through the crowd. Miss Ethel Roosevelt was prettily gowned in pink and was much admired.

HIGH RUSSIANS DOOMED 8T0LYPIN, GRAND DUKE NICH­ OLAS AND OTHER3 WARNED. Marked for Slaughter by the "Reds" ----Kaiser William in Deadly Fear of Assassination. St Petersburg.--The terrorists are reported to have condemned to death among others Grand Duke Nicholas, Premier Stolypin and two conserva­ tive members of the cabinet, who late­ ly received letters of warning. The assassination of Gen. Von der Launitz, prefect of police of this city, has caused a powerful impression both in the press and among the pub­ lic. The newspapers all comment on the inability of the prefect of police to protect his own person against the at­ tack of a single resolute terrorist, who undertook the task with the firm determination not to be taken alive. The papeis ask how long a time will elapse before still more prominent personages are stricken by terrorist bullets. The press unites in demand­ ing protection against the regime of assassination which has been inaugur­ ated by reactionists as well as by ter­ rorists. A general search of the lodgings of persons under police observation was made here during the night in the hope of discovering the accomplices of the assassin of Gen. Von der Lau­ nitz. Many arrests were made, but so far as known, no important terror­ ists were captured. The body of the man who killed the prefect at the Institute of Experi­ mental Medicine Is still unidentified. Baron Taube, chief of the gendarme corps; Prefect of Police Rheinbot of Moscow, and Gov. Kurloff of Kief, are mentioned for the position made va­ cant by the murder of Gen. Von der Launitz, which is one of the most responsible police posts in the empjre. London.--Kaiser William is in dead­ ly fear of assassination and is sur­ rounding himself with a guard as formidable as that by which Czar Nicholas is protected. This Is the statement made by the Birmingham Post. The bitterness caused by the pres­ ent electoral campaign in Germany and the trouble in Poland, where the government has dealt ruthlessly with Polish nationalists, 4re responsible for the fears entertained by the Ger­ man ruler. FLOODS THREATEN INDIANA. Rivers Overflowing the Lowlands-- Evansvllle in Great Danger. Indianapolis, Ind.--Southern Indiana is threatened with the worst flood in years. From several places conie^re^ ports of great numbers of persons moving out of the lowlands. The Ohio river at Evansvllle is expected to reach a stage of 40 feet, which would be five feet over the danger line. Much suffering is already reported. The Oho river at Evansville Friday night stood at 37 feet, two feet above the dariger line. Weather Forecaster Brand is quoted as predicting a stage of 40 feet and says the territory around Evansvllle will undoubtedly experience an enormous flood. For a hundred miles along the Ohio river the lowlands are under water. At Princeton, Ind., both the Wa­ bash and White rivers are overflow­ ing the lowlands. The Patoka river also is out of bounds. Fifteen public schools were closed Friday on ac­ count of the high water. At Taylors- ville, opposite Terre Haute, the Wa­ bash river overflow caused over 700 inhabitants of that place to move to higher ground. USSIAN OFFICIALS IN TERROR. RUSSI Aksass SULtAN'S TROOPS TAKE THE REBEL'S STRONGHOLD. - -I •* KILLED IN FldHlr Ination of Police Chief Accom­ plished with Ease. St. Petersburg. -- "The terrorist, who shot and killed Maj. Gen. Von Der Launitz, prefect of police of St. Petersburg Thursday, has not yet been identified by the police. The murder was committed at the institute of ex­ perimental medicine, and the assassin, after firing the fatal shot, coolly turned his revolver against himself while he was falling under the sabres of the prefect's escort. The authorship of this crime, how­ ever, like the recent assassination of Count Ignatleff and the unsuccessful attempt to blow up Premier Stolypin with a bomb, has been traced to the fighting organization of the Social Revolutionists, who recently resolved to resume full terroristic activity. The organization Thursday night issued the customary proclamation avowing and justifying the killing of Gen. Von Der Launitz, which was accomplished with an ease and simplicity that has struck terror into the hearts of all other officials on the revolutionary death list. The man who committed the crime was about 22 years old, and apparent­ ly belonged to the intelligent working class. The police affirm he was a Jew, He was provided with a card of ad­ mission to the dedication of the church, but his card bore no name. The authorities have not been able to learn how he obtained this invitation to the ceremony, which was extremely select, only 150 Invitations having been issued. MlECK HORROR IN KANSAS. Over 30 Persons, Mostly Mexican La­ borers, Are Killed. ^ Topeka, Kan.--Two white Ameri­ cans, a negro train porter and about 32 Mexican laborers lost their lives and 55 persons were injured when two passenger trains on the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific railroad collided head on four miles west of Volland,- Kan., at 5:10 o'clock Wednesday morning. The trains were No. 29 and 30, run­ ning between Chicago and El Paso. They met on a sharp curve with fear­ ful impact Adding to the horror of the collision, fire from the lamps in the cars and from the locomotive was communicated to the splintered wreckage and spread rapidly, cWftrsum- ing five of the forward cars of train No. 29, west-bound, and burning a number of the passengers. All but three of those who perished are thought to have been Mexican labor­ ers, who were on their way from Col­ umbus Junction, O., to Mexico. The officials of the company place the blame on John Lynes, the 19- year-old telegraph operator at Vol­ land, who failed to stop train No. 29 at his station, after receiving orders.

The Moorish gunners showed utter ^Incapacity in handling their guns and the infantry fired haphazard. Two shells dropped inside the fastness without reply, and thereupon a body of the sultan's troops charged, shout­ ing, and reached the walls amid desul­ tory shots from the surrounding brush. The gftes to the town were foun?l to be open, but there were no occu­ pants of the place except 15 prisoners, inclufded am9ng whom were four Por­ tuguese. A detachment of the government troops continued firing in the direc­ tion of the mountains, where Raisuli and his1 followers were observed flee­ ing. Meanwhile the other gQvernment troops pillaged the stronghold, secur­ ing considerable booty in the shape of costly carpets, arms, cattle and sheep. No fatalities in the fighting Sunday were reported, though a few persons on both sides were wounded. It is thought probable that the Raisulites carried off their dead. •Minister of War -Gabbas, who has not left Tangier during the opera­ tions, it is expected will next move against the pretender to the throne, Mulai Mohammed, a brother of the sultan, from whose followers there have been maay defections recently.
