STANDARD OJLLNDICTED
Grand Jury Finds True Bill the
First Day of Session.

Chicago, Aug. S.-An indictment charging the
Standard Oil Company with receiving rebates in
the form of nOn-payment of storage charges "a
certain railroad companies was returned by the
. federal grand jury before Judge s. H. Bethea
this afternoon. The indictment came as a sur
prise as the grand jury only began the investi-
cation to-day. The officials of the oil company
and no railroad companies or officials are named
The bond of the defendant was fixed by Judge
Bethea at S25.OD0
This is the case investigated by the grand jury
in Cleveland. where It was found that the grand
jury had no Jurisdiction. The testimony was
transferred to Chicago. and the documents in
evidence were identified by witnesses who testi-
fed in Cleveland
The indictment contains nineteen counts each
count constituting a separate charge The true
bills come under the Elkns law. which provides
a fine of from $1,000 to $4,000 for each viola
ton Under this indictment should conviction
result a maximum fine of s3SO,OOO may be
assessed
The indictment alleges that by a system of
granting the Standard Oil Company certain
concessions the oil company benefited to the
extent of ss.5O6 p from August, 1903. to Feb
ruary, 1905. The indictment means that in
nineteen instances certain -consignments Of oil
for the Standard OIL Company were stored by
the Lake Shore g. Michigan Southern Railroad
Company, and that the railroad company re-
ceived no payment of FIVE cents ton day
from the oil company for such storage, but that
its competitors were compelled TO pay this
amount, this amounting 10 an indirect rebate
in favor Of the Standard Oil Company.
The grand jury Immediately resumed its
pany received direct rebates from some rail-
roads.

M0re Riots Feared Move to ErpeI
american Negroes.

Cape Town. Aug. S.-The streets here tonight
are in possession of the naval and military vol
unteers. to prevent recurrence of the recent
riots of unemployed persons. white and colored.
in which many stores were looted.
London, Aug. SIT is being suggested that a
small party of American Negro preachers VINO
have been advocating the Africa for the Afri-
cans" idea should be deported from South
Africa. The government. has not taken any
action, and it is a question whether it will.
The agitation against the preachers has been re-
vived by the recent trouble at Cape Town. for
which they are held by certain London papers
to be partly responsible. They have made no
secret of their mission to South Africa, advising
the natives to use their efforts to bring about
black supremacy in that part of the world.
