TRUE BILL FOUND
AGAINST STANDARD
is CHARGED WITH RECEIVING RE-
BATES IN FORM OF NoN-PAY-
MENT OF STORAGE CHARGES TO
RAILROADS.

Chicago, August S-An Indictment
charging the Standard OIL company with
receiving rebates in the form of non
payment of storage charges to certain
railroad companies was returned by the
federal grand jury before Judge s. H.
Beathea this afternoon. The Standard Oil
company is the only defendant no Off
Gals of the company or railroad officials
being named. The bond of the defendant
was fixed by Judge Beathea is at $4,000.
This is the case investigated by the grand
jury in Cleveland, O., where it was found
the grand jury 7iad no Jurisdiction The
testimony taken there was transferred to
Chicago.
1t was on this testimony and evidence
that todays indictments was returned so
quickly. The grand jury Immediately re-
sumed its session to take up the charge
that the Standard Oil company was given
some rebate by some railroads.
The indictment contains 1871 counts, each
count constituting a separate charge.
The true bills come under the Elkins
law. which provides a fine Of from $1,000
to $4,000 for each violation. Under this
conviction on the trial of the issues, a
fine of 1886, 900 as a maximum under the
Ellxins law may be assessed
The indictments alleges that by a sys-
tenn of granting the Standard company
certain concessions the oil company bene-
fitted to the extent of $s,O76.25 during a
period of time from August, 1903 to Feb
ruary, 1905. The Indictment explained by
the government attorneys means that
in nineteen instances consignments of oil
for the Standard were stored by the Lake
Shore and Michigan Southern Railway
company, and that the railroad company
received no payment of cents per ton
per day from the company for such stor-
age. but that its competitors were COM
PEELED to pay this amount. This is equi-
valent to granting concession, 1t is
charged, the non-payment Of the storage
charges being practically a rebote in fa-
vor of the Standard OIL company. Each
count sets up a discrimination of from
$500 to $500 month in favor of the Stan
dard Oil company. 1t will be necessary
for officials of the Standard Oil company
to appear in court and present bond of
$25, 900 for the corporation.
