THE CHAIN COMPLETE
 ABOUT STANDARD OIL
A Change of Governments Plans in the
 Cleveland Investigation
The Lake Shore Officials Who Will C1nch- ing Evidence Will Be Granted Immunity From Prosecution.

Cleveland, July 16.-The Plain Dealer tomorrow will say: Easing his opinion on the testimony already submitted to the federal grand jury in this district, Attorney General Moody believes that the government has at last secured the evidence which will lead to bringing the Standard Oil company to it's knees. The return of District Attorney Sul- livan back from an all-day conference with the attorney general yesterday at New York will mark a complete change in the plans of the government in con- nectiOn with the fight to stamp out trade discrimination in favor of giant corporations.
 The change of plans includes a com plete reversal regarding G. J. Gram mar, vice president of the Lake Shore railroad. Grammar will not be indict- ed in this or any other federal district. Instead he will be asked to assist the government in forging a chain of evil dence about the necks of the biggest Standard Oil officials in the country.
 Acting on the orders of Attorney Sul- livan, Assistant Attorney Garvan is sued yesterday a subpoena for the ap- pearance of Grammar before the grand jury this morning. Grammar. who was in the city, was immediately served with the subpoena by Deputy District Marshal Tanning. He seemed pleased with the turn of events. which makes it certain that he is not to be made the scapegoat for violations of the law on the part of others.
 The switch on the part of the gov ernment in finally deciding to summon Grammar as witness is explained by the statement made yesterday that it is the singlt desire at present to get at the Standard company. A telegram from District Attorney Sullivan said nothing was to be left undone to ac- i cOmplish this purpose. The attorney l general Is firmly of the opinion that in- | dictments can be secured here and District Attorney Sullivan will resume work with the grand jury today with i this end In view.
 Tn addition to ordering the issuance 1 of a subpoena for Grammar. Sullivan | wired to have all the employees of the Lake Shore railway who have testified | before the grand jury recalled. The witnesses include James L. Clark. gen. eraI western freight agent. and c. A Slausson, freight of Chicago, and othel employees in the Cleveland offices.
 It is known that the government of. ficers are eager to obtain one more linl
 
 the Standard company. most deter mined effort will be made to cOmplet the chain through Grammar and Clark l What the government officials wan particularly is the names of Standar, Oil officials through whom. it is al legged, rebating arrangements wer made with the Lake Shore and othe railways. With these names in thei possession the government attorney will be ready to strike. The attorney are certain that some one of the wit nesses to be called today knows tn definite information so greatly desired The plan is to force the giving Of tn I names and facts by a real sweat-bo examination before the jury.
 MT Sullivan gave no intimatiOn i his dispatch as to the Standard Oi company officials he will go after. Tha the exact program was mapped out [ the minutest detail with the attOrne general was admitted in the govern ment building here yesterday.
