NORFOLK. VA. June 22.-The res
idents at Willoughby Beach were ter
rfied between nine and ten o'clock
this morning by the falling of four
inch projectiles in that vicinity. the
shells being presumably from big guns
fired by mistake from Fort Monroe.
The firing of the guns Jared the
cottages at the beach, and force of
men on a freight train near the beach
reported that they had to jump off
and hide behind Il sand hill to prevent
being struck.
Several of the shells have been
found. One of them came very near
striking the J. B. Porter cottage and
after it struck OH the sand went under
the cottage. Another struck in
Twelfth street and another in Tenth
street and one came near striking the
A. p. Warrington cottage.
The residents of the beach are
much inCenscd and declare that their
lives were placed in great danger.
Miss Smith, talking from the Porter
cottage at the beach this afternoon
said that one of the shells struck n
sailboat off Willoughby Spit and turn
ed it completely around Another
struck on Willoughby Spit and was
later picked w. The shellS we're de-
scribed from the Porter cottage as be.
ing ten and one-half inches long and
three and one-laif inches across.
Officers at Old Point Comfort adj
mftted last night that there had been
big gun practice yesterday but that all
of the pieces had been trained up the
bay towards the capes and that it was
impossible for the shells TO have come
anywhere near the settlement
They further said that the shells
used we're much larger than the ones
that the summer colonlsts say they
found on the beach and in the streets
of the village.
1t Is possible that the shell came
from the naval cadet fleet which just
came in to the port yesterday 1t is
presumed that the young officers had
been doing target practice on the
soutsNn grounds and that shells
from the small guns on the monitors
and the cruiser may have landed neal
the resort. II was impossible last

\ WASHINGTON, d. c., June 22.-
Formal announcement of the pur-
pose of the government to prosecute
the Standard Oil Company was
made today by Attorney General
Moody. Ii appears from his state
mcnt that the proceedings in the
first instance will be had under the
Elkins law which prohibits rebates

gives notice that in all probability.
should the investigation he is still
making justify it. he will bring FUR

To ensure against the continuance OF
determinations In trade and transDor-
tation not now subject to prosecution
under the existing law. but especial.
ly provided against in the pending
rate bill. The attorneys statement
follows:
Criminal Action Proposed.
After full consideration of all the
information now available, including
the report of the commissioner of
the corporations and the evidence
taken by the interstate commerce
commission, have reached the con
ciusion that criminal proceedings
against the Standard Oil Company
should be begun in certain cases
where there appears to have been a
violation of the laws regulating i'll
ter state commerce and prohibiting
rebates and other unlawful discrimi-
nations
Accordingly such proceedings will
be begun at once in the appropriate
Judicial districts. These cases are
regarded aud will be treated as of
Importance. as ii seems clear that.
in so far as the Standard Oil Co.
has obtained monopolistic control of
Interstate trade. that control is in
large degree made possible by the
determinations being in some cases
i'll violation of the law. and other
cases, though injurious to the pub
lie welfare, not in violation Of law,
and therefore subject only to such
corrections as may be offered by the
railway rate legislations now pend
ing in Congress.
Moody Talks in Earnest.
Il shall continue the investigation
of the affair; of the Standard Oil Co.
and. complaints that have been or
