RETURN TRUE BILL
STANDARD OIL COMPANY INDICTED
 IN CHEsCAG0.
Charged. With Receiving Rebases In Form of Non-Payment of storage To Certain RaiIRoads--No Of-
 neiaIs Held.

Chicago, August s.--An indictment charging the standard oil Company with receiving rebates In the form of non payment of storage charges to cer- tain railroad companies was returned by the federal grand jury before Judge S. H. Bethea this afternoon.
 The Standard oil Company is tha defendant, no ofncials of the company and no railroad companies or of3cials being named.
 The bond of the defendant was fxed by Judge Bethea at s25.ooo.
 This Is the case investigated by the grand fury in Cleveland, O., where 1t was found that the grand jury had no iurisdiction. The testimony taken there was transferred to Chicago.
 It was on this testimony and evil dence that today's indictment was returned so quickly.
 The grand Jury immediately resumed its session to take up the investiga- ton to the charge that the Standard oil Company was given some rebate by railroads.
 counts. each account constituting separate charge. The true bills come under the Elkins law which provides fine of from s1'ooO to s29,ooO TOT each violation. Under thls indictment, should the government procure con- yiction on the trial of the issues, fine of $3S0,O00 as a maximum under the Elkins law may be assessed
 The indictment alleges that by sys- tenn of granting the Standard Compa- nv Nceftain concessions the oil compa- nv benefited to the extent of ss.506.72 during a period of time from August 1908, to February 1905. The indict- ment as explained by the government attorneys, means that in nineteen in stances consignments of oil for the standard were stored by the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railroad Com many and that the railroad company received no payment of five cents per ton per day from the company for such storage. but that it's competitors were compelled to pay this amount. This Is equivalent to granting concession. 1t is charged. the non payment of the storage charges being practically a rebate in favor of the Standard oil Company Each count sets up a dis crimination of from $500 to $500 a month in favor of the Standard Oil Company. It will be necessary for oficiais of the Standard oil Company to appear in court and present bond of s2s.O00 for the corporation.

TRANSFERS UNION TROUBLES

Chicago. Aug. s.--Disruption of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters was attempted today by fraction of the delegates, led by Albert Young, who aspires to be the head of the or ganization. He and his followers re- fused to attend the regular convention and held trump session in another hall.
 It was a move decided upon, to defeat National President Shea in the election tomorrow. President Shea in the con- vention session had showed that he controlled a majority of the delegates and his reelection was conceded.
 At a caucus which lasted all morn ing, the anti-Shea minority determined to hold a separate meeting and to withdraw from the brotherhood unless Shea, characterized by them as "Czar of the teamsters." should agree to re- sign.
 Meanwhile President Shea had Qd- journed the regular convention and calling a meeting of tis supporters de- clared that the election program tomor- row would be carried out He added:
 Statement by Shea.
 If the so-caIled secessiCnists are anxious to play into the hands of the employers association who have been trying to serd the teamsters strike leaders to the penitentiary, they have chosen the only way to accomplish that end The employers association has been endeavoring for years to do what Mir. Young and his followers are now trying, that is to break up the teamsters organization"
 The proceedings of the anti-Sh faction which followed the decision to break away from the regular conven- tion were unique in the annals of trades union meetings. Tickets were appointed as in strike times, to patrol the street in front Of the boycotted conclave. I. H. Bebee. of the Chicago Van Teamsters, was chief of the peaceful pickets," met the delegates as fast as they appeared at the hall and told them that the place was struck"
 Nearly ninety delegatss oheyed the soIicitation of the plekets and attend ed the fufnp meeting. Ons hundred and eiahty-nine delegates remained with Shea at the regular meeting.
 Before the adjournment of the regu- lar convention. a committee was sent to invite the seeeders back into the Gold. They were promised a fair hear ing on the floor of the convention if they would declare the strike off" A grievance committee of the boiters was named to explain their troubles, name ". the objection to Shea and his gavel ruie

 On the other hand. he said the com- pany having correct list. are send- ing circulars to the poiicyholdsrs with out delay fn an effort to fnfiuencN votes in favor Of the trustees nonni@ mated by the present administration ticket of the Mutual.
