Every stranger who has arrived ,at Swlnemunde this week was shadowed. What the emperors discussed todav nobody knows, although the papers are filled with speculation.

High federal officials are tonight wondering if the Standard Oil rebate case at Chicago does not point the way to the criminal prosecution of E. H. Harriman. Judge Landls' order directing the grand jury to take up on August 14 the rebate practices as related to the Chicago & Alton railroad means the criminal pros ecution of the railroad officials who granted rebates to the Standard OH. , The Elkins law, under which these prosecutions are being conducted, Is very broad. It provides a maximum fine of 820.000 for each violation by omission or commission. It further provides that any person or officers or director of any corporation or com mon carrier, or any receiver, lessee. agent, trustee or person acting for or employed by it convicted of offering, granting, giving, soliciting, accepting or receiving any rebate or concession, may do imprisoned not to exceed two years, in addition to a heavy fine, in the dis cretion of the court SEarrlmaa la Control.

It Is pointed out here that the Chicago A Alton filed a false rate sheet with the interstate commerce commission on oil shipments from Whiting, Indiana, to Chicago and other points. There can be no question under the law as to the legality or illegality of traffic arrange ments, for It specifically states that the rate as filed with the commission shall be conclusively deemed to be the legal rate in any prosecution brought under the Elkins act, and declares that any departure from such rate, or any offer to depart therefrom, shall be deemed an offense under the act By testifying under oath, in obedi ence to a subpoena, Harriman secured immunity from criminal prosecution under the Sherman anti-trust law, but no nas never Deen questioned as to the granting of rebates by the Chicago & Aiion.
