STANDARD OIL
AND RAILWAYS
Special Session of The Grand Jury
Ordered at Cleveland.
SECRET CONFERENCES HELD
Commissioner of Corporations Garfield,
District Attorney Sullivan, Rail-
way Representative and Others Par
ticipate Miscellaneous inteIli-
sence of the Buckeye State.


Cleveland, O., July 3.-An order for q
grand jury was issued by Judge Taylor
OF this district to investigate alleged
charges of rebating and discrimination
against the Lake Shore and Michigan
Southern and other railroads in favor
of the Standard Oil company. The jury
is to convene July 9 and will follow up
certain testimony developed during
two recent sessions of the interstate
commerce commission in this city.
An important link in the prepara-
tions being made in connection with
the special session of the federal
grand jury came at a conference be-
tween James R. Garfield, commission
er of corporations, and United States
District Attorney Sullivan. Neither
Mr. Garfield nor Mr.. Sullivan would
discuss their conference. Mr. Gar
field was closeted with the district at
torney following session behind
closed doors between Sullivan and
II. j. Jerome. general attorney for the
Lake Shore railway. A number of the
employees of the Lake Shore railway
have been subpoenaed to appear before
the grand jury. There is little doubt
but that the witnesses SO far sub
poenaed will be questioned particular
iy concerning shipments made by the
Standard Oil company over the Lake
Shore system.
Commissioner Garfield said that the
case of the government had been left
entirely in the hands of District At.
torney Sullivan. The commissioner
was the guest of honor at dinner
given by his brother, Abram Garfield
at the Country club. He will spend
the Fourth of July at the old Garfield
residence at Mentor and will return
to Washington Thursday.
Captain G. ]. Grammer of Chicago,
vice president of the Lake Shore rail
way, following conferences here. said:
AS | have been subpoenaed as a wit
ness before the jury | am-not in a

Monday morning and win be ready to
answer any and all questions at that
time Attorneys representing the
Lake Shore railway were among those
