Chicago, Aug. 28.-Ten indictments,
containing in all 6,428 separate counts,
have been returned against the Stand
ard Oil company by the two grand
juries that for several weeks have been
Investigating in Chicago the relations
between the oil company and the rail-
roads of the country.
Each count in the indictments, all Of
which are almost Identical, charges q
separate offense against the United
States government and contrary to the
Elkins law, in that the oil company is
accused Of having unlawfullly accepted
various railroads mentioned.
The law provides that in case the de.
PENDANT is found guilty minimum fine
Of $1,000 may be assessed or a maxi
mum penalty Of $4,000 for each Of.
Tense. This would make the Standard
OH company liable to a maximum pen.
atty In case of conviction Of $128,56O,-
900, while the minimum fine that can be
assessed under the law is $6,42S,000.
All Records Broken.
All records are broken by the size Of
the Indictment returned by the two
grand 1uries, and the document upon
which the oil company must stand is
the most voluminous ever returned by
d gTanu jury.
For the past two weeks twenty-five
extra stenographers have been en-
ployed by the district attorneys in fill
Ing In dates, car numbers, name Of oil
and other data contained in the indict-
ments while a corps Of messenger boys
have been kept busy carrying proofs,
| revises and re-revises between the at
torneys' office and the printer.
Seven Roads Mentioned.
Seven railroads are mentioned in con-
nection with the indictments, but no
charges are made against any Of these.
They are the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy; the Chicago & Alton, the Chi
cago Eastern Illinois; the Chicago,
| Evansville & Terre Haute; the Illinois
| Central; the Southern railway and the
Lake Share & Michigan Southern. All
! Of the roads are mentioned in connec.
ton with giving the Standard lower
rate on oil than was published and al.
lowed other oil dealers, except the
Lake Shore: This road was mentioned
in the indictments returned today in
bringing the accusations made in for.
mer indictment returned several weeks
ago, down to date.
! With the return Of the indictments
today, it is believed that the investiga.
ton Of the relations between the Stand
ard Oil company and the railroads en-
tering Chicago Is ended. It is thought
however, that District Attorney Morri
son, who retires next Friday to become
special attorney for the government in
antitrust prosecutions, together with
his assistant, Frank B. Kellogg Of St
Paul will proceed against the company
under the Sherman antitrust act.

A Fam aus Park That Is the Pride of
Mexico City.
Nearly every city thinks it's own
parks the most beautiful on the faces of
the earth This pride it is that has
given to Europe and America their
magnificent recreation and pleasure
grounds. The German points with
pride at the Thiergarten in Berlin
and cries, Match it if you canp'

Of gestures, proclaiming their own

park shrine, with which Belle Isle, at
Detroit; Fairmount park, at Philadel-
phia; Shaw's gardens, at st. Louis;
Lincoln park, at Chicago, and hun
dred others are constantly being com
pared With such a host of competitors
for world honors it would be a bold
person who would claim for Mexico
City's Alameda the first place. 1t can
at least be said of the park, however,
that it stands at the head in land of
riotous flowers and tropical growths.
We Americans who have heard a
hundred times Of the Alamo, at San
Antonio, Tex, may associate that
name with the Alameda, for alamo is
the Spanish word for poplar, the tree
that was first planted extensively in
the Alameda. Just twenty-eight years
before the landing at Plymouth rock
the viceroy Of Mexico, Don Luis de
Velasco, asked that a sum should be
appropriated by the city for making
pleasure grounds.
The market place of San Hipolito
was the most convenient for that pJlr-
pose, so changes were Immediately
made, trees planted, fountains erected,
flowers set out and a high inclosing wall
built that was pierced by gateways.
West of this park extended an open
space known by the significant name
Of Plaza del Quemadero, or burning
place. Here rose a broad stone plat
form where the victims of the inQuisi-
ton were burned.
About the time of the American Rev
olution this torture platf, IN was re-
moved and the open space ( .ded to the
Alameda, resulting in tract contain
ing some twenty-five acres, being near
