The same doctor gave out the intt-

to poison Mrs. Stanford, but that 1t had
not been successful.

sumo in the light OF the statements
made last night by DIR. Morgan that he

night. The great house on the Palo
Alto foothills given to Miss Berner by
Mrs. Stanford about six years ago was
tightly locked. Miss Berner did not
appear all day yesterday, but her
brother. c. Berner, told the newspaper
men that his sister had nothing to say
on the matter. 1--WE have nothing one
way or the other to say about the af-
fair" he declared.
But Miss Berner has not been so
silent concerning her hopes for So

months after the death of Mrs. Stan
ford she would say nothing on the
subject of the philanthropists death,
but within the last two weeks she has
talked quite freely among her friends

sively that the trustees have been maxi

VANDIVER, JEROlNE,S ASSISTANT,

his work in the District Attorneys of- flee in New York City.
 "One of the greatest things we have to contend with in the large cities. he said, "is the yellow journal. It IS always in evidence and always mis- representing and interfering with the action of courts and public officials.
 He recited several instances where the sensational newspapers had step ped in and hampered the lawyers in their pursuit of justice.
 Mir vahdiver Is not connected with the case of Harry Thaw.
 "The case will be conducted by MT. Jerome and his assistant Mir. Garvtn. he said when questioned in regard to the matter. "and know little more about 1t than has appeared in the newspapers. Indeed, I imagine the average reader of the papers In New York knows more about 1t now than do. for I have been away from my work for the last month and have not tried to keep up with 1t"
 Ills recital of the exciting scenes in the Gilsey House, Jerome's headquart- CTS on election night last fall was most graphic.
 we were all sitting in the hotel" he said. land when the first reports came in, the situation looked like defeat for Mir. Jerome. Taking the early figures 1t looked as though our candidate would be defeated by vote of 20.000. Later. however, when the returns from the upper wards began to come in the tide turned, and the Jedome vote began to gain. Finally his opponents majority was cut down. When the votes of the two leading candidates were equal the first cheer was heard. Tn two of the wards, it was suspected some attempt might be made to tamper with the vote It was a critical moment. Excitment was at high pitch. and when the word went out that there was a delay in the vote from these wards. parties of the more ardent friends of Mir. Jerome proceeded to the polls, and insisted that the vote he counted and they stayed there un- til 1t was counted. As 1t afterward appeared their action was needless. The cause of the delay from what I have learned since. was due merely to the slowness In counting the ballots and not due to any attempt at trick cry.
 Ma. vandiver and his brother will leave Montgomedy for New York city this morning. The latter is a graduate of the University of Alabama, having been for two years prominent in the athletics of his college. He Is con templating entering business in the Eastern metropolis.

TRUE BILLS FOUND
INDICTMENTS AGAINST STANDARD
 OIL COMPANY.
Vacuum oil Company and Pennsylvania Railroad Are Also Implicated Corporations Liable For PenaI-
 ties of e1 ,AO0,O ,OOO.

Jamestown, N. r.. Aug. 10-The Fed- eral grand jury for the Western District of New York. today reported indict- ments against the Standard oil Com pany of New York; the Pennsylvania Railroad and the Vacuum oil Company, which has refineries at Olean and Ro- chester. The indictment is found against each of the defendants and in all there are twenty-two counts. The indictments against the Pennsylvania Railroad charge that 1t granted rebates on oil shipments to the Standard oil Company and the indictments against the Standard charges that 1t accepted rebates from the Pennsylvania Rail road.
 The evidence showed that the Vacuum oil Company made shipments over the Pennsylvania and that the Standard OH Company paid the freight bills. The indictment against the Vacuum oil Company charges specifically that 1t shipped oil from Clean to Rutland. Vt, at a tariff rate lower than any publish ed by the Pennsylvania Railroad or on file with the Interstate Commerce Commisson.
 One of the counts In the indict- ments charges that the Pennsylvania Railroad did not file wilt the Inter state Commerce Commission tariff
 
 transportation of oil.
 The indictments were drawn under the direction of special United States District Attorney Ragen. Each Of the twenty-two counts constitutes a separate offense. and the penalties, if the defendants were convicted on all counts, would amount to sl.400.0Oo.
 The substance of the charges is that in 1904 the Pennsylvania Railroad made t,, the Standard oil Company a rate of 16.1 cents on 100 pounds of oil from olean to Rutland. Vt. when the pub lished rate at that time was 1s cents. The testimony was that the shipments were often made over other routes than the ones in the published schedules.
 substantially the same charge is made against the Standard oil Com pany and the Vacuum oil Company. The indictment reading that they accepted the rebate. In presenting the indict- nents to the court. United tSates Dis trict Attorney Brown said the grand iurv desired more time to investigate some of the charges under its con- alteration. For that reason a recess was taken to August 24. The investi- cation has proceeded a month.

ecutlve Committee. was forwarded to MT. Eaton, who is in Philadelphia:
 Seymour Eaton, Esq:
 Dear Sir--I am directed by the Ex- ecutive Committee of the Information al PoiicYholder's comnittee to say that while surprised that you should make known your intended resigna- tion to the public at midnight before sending to the Committee resigna- tion which does not attempt even to give any reason for your action, and of mittee today as requested. We are satisfied that your resignation, which we accepted comes none too soon.
 "As to your clerk. Liebfried, he is one knows it better than you, who un- successfully urged upon members of the Committee his selection for that position Yours truly ahyY;on D psrrsra
 It developed during today's hearing that there is in existence on the Chi cago and Eastern Illinois Railroad a tariff on shipments of oil from Dolton, H.. to points south, which is. very low. The Standard Oil Company has It's re- finery at Whiting, Ind. short dist ance from Dolton, and could easily avail Itself of this low rate while oth- CT shippers wishing to reach Dolton to participate in the low rate South must pay the switching charges In the Chicago district of $5 a car which makes the total rate prohibitive as far as competition Is concerned.
 According to the testimony tho Standard oil Company shipped it's oil from Whiting to Dolton. Ill@ over the Chicago Terminal Transfer Railway Company for about g a car in switch ing charges. Although the shipment was between two States. it was not interstate because 1t was within one shipping district. The same consign- ment was then shipped South on the Chicago and Eastern Illinois from Dol ton on the low rate from that point. This latter road carried the shipment to Otter Creek Junction, where 1t was transferred to the Evansville and Terre Haute Road, which took it to Evans vile. Ind. It was then taken to Grand Junction, Tenn. over the Illinois Gen. tral. connecting with the Southern Rail way at that point and distributed through the South by the latter road. It Is declared that by this combination the Standard oil Company was able to reach Grand Junction, Tenn. with Its oil on through rate of 1s cents for 100 pounds, whereas no other shipper was able to take advantage of the same privileges. The city of Grand Junction Is thus designated as the gateway to the Southeast for the Standard oil Company. giving 1t. 1t Is charged. monopoly on the oil busi- ness in that part of the country
 The witnesses questioned concerning the matter were J. P. Seabrook, an agent for the Southern Railway. and L. B. Butts, in the Auditing Depart ment of the Illinois Central road. At the conclusion of today's testimony the jury adjourned until August 23 at which time 1t win probably make its report.
 A new grand jury will convene next Tuesday and take up the case subse- quent to March 2, 1906.

Curious Story of Deaertiou.

President Roosevelt has under con- sideration a curious story of desertion from the navy and anpappeal on behalf of the culprit. About three years ago J. M. Fortner a mountain boy of Pickens county, S. C.. became imbued with the idea of becoming a Baptist preacher Just then he fell in with a recruiting officer who told him there was a good cshance for him to get an education on board a wa lip. Fortner enlisted. but soon learned that the navy was not the place for any one in- clined to the ministry. After a while he deserted and became a student at the Freeman university in Greenvflle, S. C. He was arrested there recently and now is In prison. The president suggested that at the youths trial for desertion all the facts would be brought out and that afterward the question of leniency might be con stdered.
