INDIGTEDTENTIMES Standard Oil Is Accused of Taking Rebates. THOUSANDS OF COUNTS Chicago Grand Juries Find Octopus Had Reduced Rates on All Ship ments From Whiting South. Penalties Are Heavy. CHICAGO, Aug. 27. The first and seo end Federal Grand Juries today returned ten indictments against the Standard Oil Company before Judge Bethea in the United States Circuit Court. The in dictments, which contain 6428 counts, are all in connection with the granting of re bates. No railroad was mentioned in the in dictments returned today. Each of the 64L'8 counts in the ten Indictments fiovers an alleged offense, and Is based on s tank car shipment of petroleum products from the refineries at Whiting, Ind. According to a statement issued after the indict ments had been returned from the office of the United States District Attorney, these shipments were carried by the fol lowing roads: Chicago, Burlington & Qulncy. Chicago & Alton, Chicago & Eastern Illinois, Bvansville & Terre Haute, Illinois Central, Southern and Lke Shore & Michigan Southern. According to this statement, the Bur lington and Alton roads "had published lawful rates of 18 tents per 100 pounds to East St. Louis from Whiting, and UVi cents to St. Louis, but carried oil for the Standard Oil Company on a secret un published rate at 6 and Ti4 cents to those points respectively. The statement then continues: "On shipments to points in the South beyond Grand Junction, the Standard Oil Company should have paid the different lawful rates for the different points of destination, but was given concessions which averaged about 274 per cent of the published rate. The same is true of ship ments handled by the Chicago & Eastern Illinois and Evanaville & Terre Haute to Evansville, Ind., and points beyond. "The concessions given to the Standard Oil Company by the Lake Shore & Mich igan Southern road were in the shape of cancellation of storage charges at Chica go of five cents per ton per day on all oil delayed In delivery. Other oil shippers were compelled to pay the storage charges. "The charges against the Illinois Cen tral and the Southern Railroad are the same as those In relation to the ship ments made to points beyond Grand Junction." It was stated by the District Attorney's office that the penalty for each ofTense alleged in the indictments is a tine of not 36 inches wide, all the new Fall patterns, regular less than $1000 nor more than $30,000. It is believed by the Government's attor neys that the lawyers for the Standard Oil Company will enter the appearance of the corporation In court as soon as they have examined the indictments. There is no authority at present allowing the arrest of the officers of a corpora tion against whom Indictments have been found. WILL buy up distilleries Standard Alms to Control Produc- tlon of Alcohol. PEORIA, 111.. Aug. 27. The Standard Oil Company has taken steps toward ac quiring ownership of all the principal dis tilling plants in the United States. A conference was held on Friday last In Chicago between representatives of the distillery interests and the Standard Oil Company. The price has been set on every distillery in Peoria, and indications are a deal will be effected and tha plants will pass into the hands of the Stand ard Oil Company soon. It is said the price asked was considered too high by the Standard people, and the latter threat ened if suitable terms could not be reached they would build distilling houees of their own. The chief reason of this action on the part of the Standard Oil Company is the recent passage of the alcohol bill by Con gress. Experts employed by the Rocke feller interests, after experimenting, re ported this product cannot be manufac tured cheaply enough to make it a seri ous competitor of gasoline, but that it could be used In the manufacture of mer cerized cotton and other fabrics and would be an extremely valuable product to con trol. Distillers Willing to Sell. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Aug. 27. Terre Haute distillers returned today from Chi cago, where the' monthly meeting of both trust and Independent distillers -were held. It is stated by local owners of distil leries that attorneys for the Standard Oil Company have approached distillers ask ing them if they would entertain a prop osition to buy their plants. Practically all have replied in the affirmative. EASTERN EXCURSION RATES September 8 and 10.

MYERS Convicted Partner In Murder Is Also Given Lease of Life. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. 27. Governor Folk, at Jefferson City, today granted a respite until October 2t io Mrs. Agnes Myers, now In jail at Liberty, awaiting execution for the murder of her husband. With Frank Hottmann, Mrs. Myers' had been sentenced to be hanged September 3. Governor Folk granted the respite so that the woman's attorneys might have time in which to perfect their appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States. R. B. Buff and Judge W. E. Fowler, counsel for Mrs. Myers, applied to Judge Burgess, of the State Supreme Court, this morning for a writ of error to take the case to the United States Supreme Court for review and final detention. Judge Burgess stated that because of the ab sence from the city of Judge Gant it would not be possible to act on the ap plication until late in September. Mrs. Myers attorneys today applied to Governor Folk for a respite that they might apply to the Federal Court for an order to transfer the case there for re view. The Governor, in the course of the morning had' received dozens of tele grams, from various parts of the state, asking him to grant a respite, and when the matter was formally presented to him by the attorneys he readily assented, giv ing Hottmann similar consideration. Mrs. Agnes Myers and Frank Hottmann murdered Clarence Myers, the woman's husband, on May 11, 11)04, that they might marry. "I am sure the Governor is the kind of a man who believes in giving everybody a square deal," said Mrs. Myers, who is in a cell at the Liberty. Mo., Jail, with Frank Hottmann, for the mur der of her husband. "I have never for a minute thought that he would per mit my sentence to be carried out. I have never experienced in the slightest degree the feeling that death was ap proaching, and have scarcely given the subject the least thought In the past week. I am sure that I will never meet my death on-the scaffold." GOOD F0RTHE CHURCH Canon Vaughan Comments on Sever ance From State In France. .. NEW YORK. Aug. 27. Right Rev. Mgr. John 9. Vaughan, canon of Westminster Cathedral, brother of the late Cardinal Vaughan and of Father Bernard Vaughan, the Jesuit, who arrived in this country Saturday, had this to say last night concerning the pope's latest note to the French clergy: "There is no doubt in my mind about the outcome. The church in France will grow stronger and learn to depend on it self as the church does in England and other countries. That does not mean she will not continue to resist governmental repression. "I do not believe the pope has changed P. M. his attitude one iota. You can depend upon it that he means every word he said. Personally I believe the holy father has met the French situation with re markably good Judgment. The church, in my! opinion, will not recede from its present position. The recent encyclical embodies the wish of Catholio France. The bishops will meet soon and outline a plan of .campaign, which will be sub mitted to the holy father. What they recommend will undoubtedly form the basis of the Vatlcan'e final Instructions." Mgr. Vaughan will remain in New York a few days and then go to St. Paul as the guest of Archbishop Ireland. He will preach a series of sermons In the St. Paul Cathedral and also preach at the annual retreat to tho clergy of the dio cese of Duluth. He may also vteit tho Catholic Summer school at Cliff Haven before he returns to London. ONLY SIMON PURE KNIGHTS Hayes Faction Knights of Labor nets Injunction on Rivals. WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.
