Legal battle over Standard Oil rate law case heads to judge
In Chicago a fight over immunity claims tied to the rate regulation law and a sixty day suspension continues. Standard Oil argues the joint resolution created amnesty while the government says no repeal of penalties occurred. Judge Landis is expected to weigh Congress intent against the corporation's demurrer as prosecutors push toward an appeal path to the Supreme Court. In Cincinnati, Mrs Kate Gilman faces murder charges but is not arraigned due to hospital conditions while relatives and detectives spar over investigative control and funds.
