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.

RESPITE FOR MRS. 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.
