STANDARD OIL COMPANY, PENN
SYLvANiA ROAD AND VACUUM
OIL COMPANY INDICTED.
Dew YORK 6RAnD JURY TAKES ACTION
sioNs THE SPECIFIC CHARGE
MADE IN ALL COUNTS.

jamestown. N. ". Aug. 1.-THE
federal grand jury for the Western
district of New York has returned in
dictments against the Standard Oil
company of New York, the Penrsyl-
vania Railroad company and the
Vacuum Oil company of Rochester
for violations of the interstate COM
merce law.
There are twenty-four counts in
each indictment of the Standard Oil
company and of the Pennsylvania
Railroad company and smaller num-
Der against the Vacuum Oil company
The specific charges allege that the
Pennsylvania Railroad company grant
ed to the Standard Oil company spe-
cial concessions In the shipments of
freight and that the Standard Oil
company did "unlawfully and know
ingly accept from the Pennsylvania
Railroad company a concession In re-
spect to the transportation OF certain
Of its property In interstate commerce,
whereby and by which device that
property was transported In such
commerce at less rate than that
named In the tariffs so published and
filed by said Pennsylvania Railroad
company" in violation of the statutes
The indictments are so specified
that In case those found against one
company are sustained on trial they
necessarily must be sustained against
the other companies. The various
counts pertain to specific cases In
which these special rates were grant
ed and accepted and embrace a period
OF time from Jan. l. 1904, to Dec. q
Of the same year.
The indictment against the Vacuum
OIL company of Rochester is on ex-
actly similar grounds-that special
concessions were accepted from the
Pennsylvania Railroad company.
Bail was hxed at $4,000 for each
company. The cases will probably be
tried at Lockport In October.

many OF them workingmen. holders Of
shares OF $40 each. The individual

creditors of the company have re-
course upon the individual property OF

been placed in the hands of re-
ceiver, william c. Niblack, vice pres
