BJILLED IN
Will be Shipped Away the
Fir»t of September— New
Springfield* to be Dis
tributed.
MaJ. George P. Elliott, command
Ing the Third Battalion of Infantry,
ha* order* from the adjutant (tenoral
to Instruct all officer* In the various
companies to pack and prepare for
shipment by September Ist ail the old
Krag Jorgensen rifle* that are now
In use by the National Guard, and
after that date to unpack the now
Springfield rifles that have been ator
ed away at the Armory Mall for aev
eral montha, awaiting an order for
their distribution.
Not s few of the militiamen say
they hate to see the "Krags” called
In. The old rifles are to be shipped
to the Springfield Armory, at Spring
Held, Mass. They are fine guns, easy
of balance, accurate, powerful and
dean well. They hare bean In use
a long time, and It will be some time
before the men become accustomed to
the new Springfield guns.
The Springfield* are rail her JO.
They carry a steel-clad bullet of as
tonlshing length, small In diameter,
that Is backed by a tremendous pow
der charge and will bore a hole
through a line of men, a bar of Iron
or a giant oak tree The barrel of
the rifle is almost entirely protect
ed by wood and the bayonets are
materially different from the old
Krsg bayonets
New ammunition will b« supplied
for use In the Sprlngflelds whim they
are distributed, arid It is very proba
ble that practice tests, If practicable,
will soon be held.
For riot duty, a different ammuni
tion In furnished The powder charge
Is smaller and the bullet “nubbed,”
or cut off. shorter than the regula
tion steel-jacket affair. It Is lead,
and does not bore a hole through a
man like the long, slender projec
tile If these latter were used In
case of riot there would he great
danger of Inflicting tnlur.v where mine
was Intended, as the Springfield steel
bullets have a way of never stopping
Inside of a mile.

tion of the Jury and that there was
ample evidence to show that the de
fendant did know what the legal rate
was.
The government contends that the
effect of the conatruction of Jhe sta j
lute announced by the court of ap- 1
peals is to nullify the inter-staate com- '
nierce act so far as shippers are con-1
ci mod: to make its enforcement lnr \
possible, and to plunge the country
again into the deplorable condition of
railroad discriminations end fuyorit
ism which existed prior to its pass
age.
The government contends that the
court of appeals has no right to
place this construction upon the sta
tute in the lace of the fact that the
very question involved in this case
has been expressly left open bj the
supreme court in .he Armour Packing
company case recently decided by
that court.
The government insists that before
laying down this harsh rule and prac
l iicaliy nullifying the law the court
ol appeals should certify in accord
ance with the statute in question the
supreme court for its decision; that
no court short of the supreme cour'
should undertake practically to wipe
.he inter-state commerce ac: from the
i statutes.
The petition states:
“Before the government is requind,
to try this case under the rigid rule}
of construction laid down by this
court, it is not manifestly fair and
right in the Inter, st not oniy of jus
tice In this case, but in the interest of
a final ai.d definite construction afte.
this inq>< riant statute, that judgment i
be tak-rn of the highest tribunal of
the nation.”
EACH SHIPMENT
A DISTINCT
OFFENSE.
The government contends that each
shipment Is the* basis of a disllrct
offense; and that in this case each
carload was a separate shipment
The circuit court of appeals has
held that there is but one offense so-J
each settlement for freight.
The government, cites against this
the oplnon of presiding Judge Gross
est *u the case of I'nltcd States
versus Hanley, In which that judge
laid do* n an exactly contrary rule.

The government contends that the I
rule laid down by the court of ap
peals is contrary to the principles of |
the Klklns act and leaves it to the
shipper and carrier to elect for how
many offenses they will be prosecuted
and how much they shall be fined.
■ The government contends in the
petition that the court of appeals has
done a great iujustice to trial Judge
Landis in misstating what he did in
1 connection with the imposition of the
; fine of the Standard Oil company.
The circuit court of appeals in Its j
: opinion charges that Judge Landis
assumed to fine the tSandard Oil
Company of New Jersey and imposed
the large fine for the reason that he 1
was satisfied that the Standard Oil |
company of New Jersey was not a
“virgin offender.”
The government shows In its pe
tition that Judge Landis never refer
red to the Standard Oil company of
New Jersey in this connection and
that the language used was used in
connection \wth -he Standard Oil com
pany of Indiana: that nowhere were
the proceedings directed or pretend
ed to be directed against the Stand
ard Oil company of New Jersey.
The government takes issue with
the court of appeals that Judge I>an
dls’ proceeding in this case, "amount
ed to a strange doctrine in Anglo-
Saxon jurisprudence," and says that
the proceedings of Judge Landis are
in accordance with the rule of pro
cedure pointed out hy Jlr. Bishop in
his work on criminal law.
CAN BE FINED MORE
THAN HE POSSESSES.
The government tai.es issue with
the circuit court of appeals as to
its proposition that a d feniiant can
not be fined more than the value of
the property which he possesses :>iid
states that this rule is an innovation
in criminal law and if applied would
destroy the enforcement of most
statutes.
The government claims that the
facts before the court of appeals jus
tify the Imposition of the penalty in
flicted by the trial judge.
It appears from the record in the
circuit court of appeals that the net
profit of the business of the Standard
Oil company of Indiana, the corpora
tion that Judge Landis fined, lor the
years during which the violations of

the law lor which it wag convicted
were committed and Including the
year in which it was indicted, amount
ed to *33,55H,208.80.
The government claims that on ac
count of the size of the fine alone,
there is no necessity for a retrial ol
the case.
The petition concludes in part:
It is therefore respectfully submit
ted :
That the opinion of this court la
based upon a misconception of the
record with reference to the ruling*
of the trial judge as to the admission
of evidence tending to show want of
knowledge and with reference to his
construction of the statute on that
subject and the theory on which the
case was tried; that the evidence of
Bogardus which it is claimed showSß
want of knowledge was admitted, that,
it was overcome, however, by the
facts and circumstances of the case,
and that the evidence as an entirety
was sufficient to show actual knowl
edge or what in law was its equiva
lent.
CRITICISM
WRONGLY BASED.
“That the criticism of the trial
judge for abuse of the discretion rests
upon a wrong assumption of what the
trial judge actually did and assumes
that he attempted to try and punish
the Standard Oil company of New
Jersey, who, in fact, as appears from
the record, the entire proceedings
were directed against the defendant,
the Standard Oil company of Indi
ana.
That, in short, the opinion as It
stands erroneously states material
portions of the record; does injus
tice to the trial judge; leaves doubt
ful in a new trial the rule of l*w
to be applied, both as to knowledge
on the part of the shipper and as so
the extent of offenses; appears to
be In conflict with the language of
the suprdthe court and with the previ
ous language of the presiding judge
of this court and with the great
weight of legal authority, and, If per
mitted to remain unmodified, will tend
to encourage disobedience to law. to
impede the enforcement of states and
largely defeat their purpose. For the
reasons stated we respectfully request
that a reargument of this caw b*
i granted.
