In his petition the district attorney states

prepared to testify that they have been
favored by the railroad companies.
II il understood to be Mr.. Thompson's
intention to secure the indictment of
railroad agents and to conduct a sweep
ing investigation of the charges, Of dis
elimination by the railroads.
The proceeding was taken under the
act Of Congress OF February 10, 1903,
which fixes the minimum penalty at 81 !
900 and the maximum penalty at $10,-
600 fine for each offense.
1t is said the bills include the names
Of agents OF certain railroads outside

before the grand jury will be immune
from imprisonment. The taking of tes-
timony viii begin Wednesday.
The district attorney said last night
that the action was taken at the sug-
gestion Of the department at Washing
ton.
II have gathered all the evidence
against the common carriers of the
state,' he said, @and have been aided
by the interstate commerce commission
which submitted to me all the informa-
tion in its hands. The investigation will
be sweeping. If, while the testimony is
being presented before the grand jury it
develops that conspiracy has existed,
that charge then will be made and i'm
prisonment may result in some cases"
