RAILROADS TO HELP
Immunity tor Testifying Against
Standard Oil Company.
EVIDENCE INSURES INDICTMENT
Railroad
Men
Have No Hesitancy jn
Uncovering All Transactions
With Oil Octopus.
Chicago, Aug. 14.— Immunity to dif-
ferent railroad officials from prosecu-
tion for violating interstate commerce
laws in giving rebatee to tbe Standard
Oil company ie the price which the
Federal authorities are paying for tes
timony upon which they will try to se
cure the conviction of the Standard Oil
company and some of its officials.
Jt
was announced today by local railretd
men that they w ill have no hesitancy
in uncovering all the transactions be
tween the roade and the oil combine to
the local Federal grand jury, because
they are sure that by so doing they will
be themselves exempt from prosecution.
When the oil combine prosecution
was first launched, it wae found by the
Federal authorities that railroad offi.
cials familiar with the facts declined to
come forwaid. An inquiry addressed
to such officials brought forth an an
nouncement of the railroad men’s posi
tion by the different general counsel ol
the roads.
Open notice was served
that the officials of the roads would not
give information because in so doing
they would be placing themselves and
their own railroads in danger of indict
ment and prosecution. After consulta
tion between counsel for the railroads
aud the government the silence of the
railroad men was broken and proof is
now forthcoming upon which indict
ments w ill be voted oy the grand jury.
It was explained by one of the lead
ing local railroad attorneys today tnat
the definite understanding has been
reached between their clients aud the
department of Justice that, in return
for proof upon which to indict and con
vict the oil combine and its officials,
the railroads w ill not be molested with
aDy prosecution, so iar as the giving of
rebates to the Standard Oil company is
concerned.
EVEN S T O L E COLLATERAL.
Limit to Stensland's Crimes Not Yet
Found by Inspectors.
Chicago, Aug. 14.— The belief that
large amounts of collateral g'ven as se
curity for notes in the Milwaukee Ave
nue bank have been stolen practically
became a certainty last night, wbent
note for $9,000, known to be genuine,
was found in Stensland’ s house at By
ron street and Lawndale avenue.
Search was made for the collateral se
curity, but it could not be found.
The discovery opened up a field for
almost unlimited speculation as to ho*
far the looting proceeded before Stens-
land disappeared. I f the real estate
and other ee'urities in the bank have
been stolen or are found to be worth
less, the amount of money left to pay
the depositors probably will be redaced
as low as 25 per cent.
Aseietant State’s Attornsy Olson wm
informed yesterday afternoon that Pres
ident Stensland has large land holdings
in Mexico, and that he may be in tbe
Southern republic now. The informa
tion came in the shape of a letter from
an acquaintance of Stensland. Mr. Ol
son said that it w ill take only 24 boon
to run down the clew.
