History of Famous Trial Over Standard Oil Fine
The U S circuit court of appeals in Chicago reversed a 29 240 000 fine imposed on Standard Oil Indiana by Judge Skene. The case grew from rebates on Chicago and Alton shipments to East St Louis at 18 cents a barrel, reduced by rebates to 60 cents. Trials and testimony showed 2 00 000 000 in earnings by Standard Oil of New Jersey from 1904 to 1907. The appellate ruling followed appeals after Landis imposed the fine under the Elkins law, amid arguments over posted rates and shipment counts.

Tattooing For Bathers At Atlantic City
Jim Squid, a former sailor and ink expert, is blamed for indelible arm marks on beach maidens at Atlantic City. Fathers seek the artist as spectators watched anchors and hearts appear tattooed on arms, after marks were found to be needle piercing rather than paint. Squid reportedly operates a Bowery shop and has earned hundreds from this incipient tattoo trend. Memorial to Joe Chandler Harris planned as juvenile state near Atlanta. Juvenile Protective Association will run a near 400 acre campus with school gym and workshops financed by subscriptions.
