WILL NOT PUCE ALTON Oil GRILL Grand Jury Which Was to Probe Koad Will Be Dis charged By Court (United FreM by Special Leaeed Wire.) Chicago, Aug. SI. It Is said in fed eral court circles of Chicago tonight that the Chicago A Alton will receive the expected immunity bath. According to this Information the Investigation of rebate charges In connection with the Standard Oil case will be dropped. In spite of the demand of Judge Lan dis for a grand Jury Inquiry into the acts of the Alton, it Is believed tho grand Jury will be discharged without making the Investigation. This action is believed to be the re sult of orders received by District At torney Sims from Attorney General Bonaparte. Mr. Sims would neither confirm nor deny the report. The full effect of the immunity bath will be the dissipation of all the evi dence which the department of justice has been gathering againsy the princi pal railroads of the west and southwest which are charged with having given rebates to the Standard Oil company. Big Orafters rized for Flight. Judge Landls' judicial indignation and his action n causing a special grand Jury to be impanelled to Investigate the entire matter spread consternation among the railway officials. The court's plainly indicated determination to send some of the magnates to Jatt4 lor criminal conspiracy. some rail way men, according to report, went so far as to place their affairs In other hands while they took extended trips abroad and through Canada. Theae trips have now been abandoned and the magnates are again turning their at tention to problems of increasing the value of stock and adding to annual dividends, undisturbed by the spectre of an Indignant federal Judge whose un conventional manner of dealing with influential lawbreakers has created sur prise and apprehension as to where it would end. Judge Landls' action seemingly placed In danger of Imprisonment at least 60 railroad men of all degrees, from freight clerks to president. The ruling, of the department of justice has assured the objects of threatened grand jury Inqui sition, and traffic matters will proceed with undisturbed tranquility after the decision is announced. Magnates Have One rear Z.eft. Although It Is certain the Alton and its officials will get an "immunity bath," and almost equally certain that the other roads and St. Louis bridge companies will receive the forgiveness of the government for acts In connec tion with Standard Oil rebates, there Is still a slight fear that adverse publio criticism may cause the government to select one more victim rather than en tirely wipe, out the result ef Its agents' work. In the collection of data the govern ment employed 100 men. Including a number of high-class lawyers and ex pert accountants. The estimated Gout of gathering the evidence which la to be rendered valueless except as against the Standard Oil company Is J250.OO0. The appropriation for the purpose was (500,000. Despite the immunity grant to tho raUaegas, shippers' agents who may have entered 'into conspiracy to do an unlawful act" can be prosecuted and sent to prison.

Although every circumstance pointed to suicide, Mr. Bothner was placed un der arrest and taken to the west side police court with Arllne Bennett, an actress, and Frank Holllngsworth, a brother of the dead woman, who were detained as witnesses. Coroner Dooley ordered their release later, when he had satisfied himself that the unfortunate woman had killed herself. Miss Vaughan had been an Invalid for two years. Some 12 years ago she was treated in an Insane asylum In Illinois and in Ohio and the fact that she would eventually lose her mind preyed upon her. About the middle of August she was sent to Muldoon's farm near White Plains for treatment. She was prac tically under restraint but succeeded In escaping Jwiday afternoon with the as sistance of a 16-year-old boy whose ac quaintance she had made. When she left the Muldoon plaoe Miss Vaughan wore a sweater and a short walking sRIrT aniSWM toartr-beadedr th boy guided her to the trolley line and rode with her to New York. She had a five-dollar bill with her which she had concealed on her arrival at Muldoon's. Her husband and relatives were amazed when she walked In upon them bare headed and disheveled. She appeared to be rational, however, and It was decided best to allow her to have her own way for the time. Mr. Bothner left her apartment at 8 o'clock to go -to the bathroom. While there he heard two shots. The shots were also heard by Miss Bennett and Mr. Hol llngsworth. All three rushed to the room of Miss Vaughan and found her lying, on the floor.
