CHICAGO, Aug. 27.-The Standard
Oil company has taken steps toward
acquiring ownership of all the princi-
pal distilling plants in the United
States, according to q special dis
patch from Peoria, Illinois. a confer
ence was held Friday last in Chicago
between the distilling interests and
the Standard Oil company. a price
has been set on every distillery in
Peoria and indications are q deal
will be on and the plants will pass
into the hands OF the Standard Oil
company o 1t is said the price
asked was considered too high by the
Standar Oil people and the latter
threatened if suitable terms could not
be reached they would build distilling
houses of their own. The chief reason
OF this action on the part of the Stand.
ard Oil company was the recent pas.
sage Of the alcohol bill by congress.
Experts employed by the Rockefeller
interests, after experimenting, report.
ed this product cannot be manufact-
ured cheaply enough to make It a
serious competitor Of gasoline. but
that it could be used in the manufac.
ture Of mercerized cotton and other
fabrics and would be an extremely
valuable product 10 control.

leg that the bones failed to heal and
grow together as they would have
done had the proper treatment been
given: thai as a result the plaintiff is
unable to walk without the aid of

CHICAGO, Aug. 27.-The first and
second federal grand juries today re.
turned indictments against the Stand.
ard Oil company before Judge Be,hea
in the United States circuit court. The
indictments, which contain 6,iS2
counts are all in connection with the
granting of rebates. No railroad was
mentioned in the indictments returned
today.
Each Of the 6,4S2 counts in the ten
indictments covers ar alleged otense
and is based on a tank car shipment
OF petroleum products from the re.
tineries at Whiting, Ind. According
to a statement issued after the iudict.
ments had been returned from the Of.
flee OF the United States district at
