MORMON "ELDER" IS
PUT IN BAD LIGHT
Shocking Details of Plans for
Importing Girls From Eu-
rope Are Exposed.
Special to The Tribune

Special to The Tribune
WASHINGTON, Aug. So Elder" J"
Emuel Bachman of Shelley, Idaho, ap-
pears in very bad light on the face
of the evidence submitted to the Com
missioner General Of immigration in
the case Of Susan Henry, the Scotch
girl ordered deported few days ago
from the port of Boston. In the first
place, the Mormon claimed he had the
legal custody OF the child, because he
had entered into written agreement
with her parents to adopt her, and he
insisted such agreements did not re-
quire tho sanction of q court to be
legally binding, When the matter was
referred TO the British consul at Bos-
ton, he declared that no agreement for
adoption could be legal unless approved
by the courts, Thus ended the elder
efforts to assume legal custody over the
girl.
Held Out Inducements.
The testimony shows that the girl
was influenced to come by Bachman S
representations to her that on his mag
niGcent plantation at Shelley he had
"a fine 500 piano" which should be
her property. Commissioner General
Sargent has been inexpressibly shocked
by a phase of the Scotch lassie's S tes-
timony, in which she asserted that
Bachman came into the stateroom
while she was putting on her stock
ings in the morning, and before leav-
ing Gathered her, term used to
convey the information that he had
beaten her.
The girl was deported on the ground
that she was dependent and had no
one who stood in q relation to be law
fully responsible for her support af-
ter Bachman's fake adoption was ex-
posed.
Mr.. Sargent explained today that
"prosclytes were being brought to
this country, mostly healthy young
women from the countries of northern
Europe, by tifties, through the port
of Boston and settled in Utah, There
is no law to reach them except in such
unusual cases US that presented by Su-
san Henry Mr.. Sargent is very much
exercised over the Henry case.

Receiving of Rebates on Stor-
age Charges Is the Specific
Allegation.
BOND OF DEFENDANT is
FIXED AT $25,O 600
Action of ChicagO's Federal
Grand Jury Was Surpris-
ing to Many.

CHICAGO, Aug. S.-An Indictment
charging the Standard Oil company
with receiving rebates in the form
of non-payment Of storage charges TO
certain railroad companies was returned
by the Federal grand jury before
Judge s. II. Bethea this afternoon, The
Indictment came as a surprise, mas
much as the grand jury had just begun
the investigation today. The Standard
Oil company is the only defendant, no
officials Of the company and no rail
road companies or officials being named
The bond of the defendant was fixed
by Judge Bethea at $4,000.
Previously Investigated.
This is the case investigated by the
grand jury In Cleveland, where it was
found that the grand jury had no juris-
diction. The testimony taken there
was transferred to Chicago and the
documents in evidence were identified
by witnesses who testified in Cleve-
land,
1t was on this testimony and evil
dence that todsy's Indictment was re-
turned so quickly.
The grand jury Immediately resumed
Its session to take up the investigation
OF the charge that the Standard Oil
company was given direct rebates by
some railroad.
The indictment contains nineteen
counts, each count constituting n sep
arate charge. Tho true bills come un~
der the Elkins law. which provides a
fine of from $1,000 to $4,000 for each
violation. Under this indictment,
should the Government procure con
vlction on the trial of the issues, 4
fine of S3S0.000 as maximum under
the Elkins law may be assessed
The indictment alleges that by a svs-
tenn of granting the Standard Oil com
pany certain concessions the oil com
pany benefited TO the extent OF $500
during a period Of rimo from August.
1908. TO February, 1905. The indict.
ment, as explained by the Government
attorneys, means that IN nineteen in.
stances certain consignments of oil
for the Standard Oil company were
stored by the Lake Shore & Michigan
Southern Railroad company, and that
the railroad company received no pay
mont of cents per ton per day from
the oil company for such storage, but
that its competitors were compelled
to pay this amount, This Is equiva-
lent to granting concession, it is
charged, the non payment of the stor-
age charges being practically a rebate
in favor of the oil company. Each
count sets up discrimination of from
$500 to $500 a month in favor Of the
oil company, 1t will be necessary for
nGicials of tha Btana~-. Aan >ss<s@Aur
