Gavernment Petition for Rehear- I j
ing Case is Denied.
THRUST AT U. S. LAWYERS
Court Criticises the Conduct of Attorney
General Bonaparte and Other Gov¬
ernment Counsel.
Chicago, 111.—The government’s pe¬
tition for a rehearing of the case in
which the United States circuit court
of appeals reversed the trial court in
fining the Standard Oil Company of
Indiana $29,240,000 for alleged rebat¬
ing, was denied in the court of ap¬
peals heie. It is authoritatively stat¬
ed here that the government will now
attempt 10 bring the whole matter
before the supreme court on a writ
of certiorari.
In closing its decision ,the court of
appeals severely criticized Attorney
General Bonaparte. Special Assistant
General Frank B. Kellogg, District At¬
torney Edward W. Sims and Special
Assistant United States Attorney Jas.
H. Wilkerson, whose names were
signed to the petition.
Immediately upon the overruling of
the petition of District Attorney Sims
applied for a stay of mandate, which
was granted, thus leaving the case
still before the court of appeals pend¬
ing the government’s attempt to have
the case taken before the supreme
court on a writ of certiorari.
Washington, D. C.—It was stated at
the department of justice that, in view
of the large amount of money involv¬
ed, the important questions of law and
the popular interest in the case, the
government would not rest on the de¬
cision of the circuit court of appeals
in the Standard Oil case, but that the
case would be taken to the supreme
court of the United States at the ear¬
liest possible day.
This will be done by an application
to the court for the allotvance of a
writ of certiorari. Cases like the one
in point are not appealable to the su¬
preme court of the United States by
either side, but application for a re¬
view by the supreme court must be
made by the defeated party.

the North Dakota, was successfully
launched here from the yard of the

CHINESE HUMILIATED.
They Feel That They Have Been
Slighted by the Americans.
Pekin, China.—The foreign board
has sent its thanks to Admiral Em
ory, the commander of the American
fleet at Amoy, for his congratulations
upon the anniversary of the birth of
the Dowager Empress.
The foreign press of China makes
favorable comment on the visit of the
American battleships, but ihe central
government and the Chinese people
are humiliated over the fact that only
half of the fleet under Admiral Sperry
came to China.
The presence of the American ships
at Amoy again directed attention to
the decline of the American trade in
China.

Nashvile, Tenn.—As a sequel to the
recent bitter democratic primary for j
the gubernatorial nomination in Ten
nessee, Hon. Edward Ward Carmack,
former United States senator from j
Tennessee, was shot and killed in a
street duel here by Robin Cooper, a
voun g attorney. Young Cooper was
wounded in the shou i der by a bullet
from Carmacks revolver, and is un

Colonel Cooper, who is well known

circles in Tennessee and the south,
had, jt is said, notified Mr. Carmack
p ia t the references to him must

The men fought at close quarters,
and there were but few witnesses,
The tragedy created the most intense
excitement throughout the city, and.
within a short time, the streets were i
thronged.
It is understood that the trouble is j
one of the results of the recent degi
ocratic gubernatorial primary, in
which Carmack was defeated. Car¬
mack has, since he has been editor
of The Tennesseean, been quite caus¬
tic in criticizing what he called the
democratic machine, and has had sev¬
eral editorials about Colonel Cooper.
Within the past few days, it is said.
Coonel Cooper notified Carmack that
these editorial criticisms must cease.
Later another editorial reference to
Colonel Cooper appeared in The Ten¬
nesseean, and this is supposd to have
been the immediate cause of the trou
ble.
Memphis, Tenn.—Former United
States Senator Edward W. Carmack,
who was shot and killed at Nashville,
w r as born near Castalian Springs, in
Sumner county, Tennessee, November
8, 1858. He had an academic educa¬
tion; studied law; practiced in Colum*
bia, Tenn., and was a member of the
legislature of 1884.
He was a delegate to the national
democratic convention of 1896, and a
member of congress in 1897-1901, from
the tenth congressional district of
Tennessee. He served with distinc¬
tion in the United States senate for
six years, being defeated for re-elec¬
tion in the primary a little over a
year ago by former Governor Robert
L. Taylor.
Last spring he opposed Governor
Patterson for the democratic guberna¬
torial nomination, championing the
cause of state-wide prohibition. He
was defeated.
Shortly after his defeat Mr. Car¬
mack was offered the editorship of
The Nashvile Tennesseean. He ac¬
cepted the offer, and since then and
for the last two months has been at
the head of The Tennesseean.

production of cotton for mill consump
tion during the year ending August
31, 1908, exceeded 2,310,000 bales the
production of the previous year, ac
cording to the census bureau’s report
on the supply and the distribution of
cotton. It is a significant fact, the
report shows, that the fluctuations in
the world’s supply of cotton is meas
ured practically by the variations in
the annual production in the United
States.
If the consumption of cotton in 1909
equals that in 1908, the United States.
it is declared, must contribute about
12 500,000 bales to prevent further de

ENGLAND TO HELP FRANCE
Against Germans—Would Lend Naval
But Not Military Support.
London, England.—From the most
reliable source it is learned that
France has made tentative inquiries
of the English foreign office as to
what aid France might expect of Eng
land in the event of a clash between
France and Germany growing out of
1he Casablanca affair.
If Germany and France should clash
England would unquestionably lend ;
her nava j support to France, but
wou i d no t aid her with her military
forces,
The dispute arises from the arrest
on September 25 of six soldiers of the
French foreign legion in the act of
desertion. Two of them were German
subjects and an agent of the German
council at Tangier was conveying
them on board a German vessel when
the party was seized by order of Gen
eral d’Amade, the French commander.

The letter which is dated Oceober 27,

the fear that southern representation
