OVATION GIVEN BY THOUSANDS

Unparalleled in the recent history of
the port of New York was the well

world. He arrived at Quarantine at
precisely two minutes after 8 o'clock

folks" who had gone down the bay
to meet him, shouted heartily.
Mr.. Bryan did not enter New York
as was at first planned. He was ak
en- off the ship at Quarantine on the
private yacht of Louis Nixon. After
landing at Stapleton, Staten Island,
Mr.. Bryan, his wife and daughter were
at once driven in an automobile to
Mr.. Nixon's home.
Here Mr.. Bryan spent the night, the
evening being devoted to-a conference
with intimate personal friends and
men of prominence in his party. No
especial political significance was at
tached to the conference by those who
attended 1t, and who declared its pur-
pose was merely to learn Mr.. Bryan's
wishes regarding the plans which have
been made for him during the next few
weeks, and to acquaint him with the
drift of affairs at home.

INDICTMENTS OF STANDARD
Total of 6,428 Counts Returned
by Federal Grand Juries.
FINES ToTALlNe st2s, 5so,oo
With jamestown, N. ", Indictments
It Faces Possibility of Paying
$780, 600.

In the longest indictment known to
history, the Standard Oil Company
was charged by two Federal grand
inries at Chicago, with accepting re.
bates from seven railway companies.
The charges are contained in 10 in.
dictments, comprising GAPS separate
offences.
The charges are brought under the
interstate commerce law and the COM
pany Is liable to be fined from &c.
42S,000 to S12S, $50, 900 if convicted of
all the offences. The statute fixes
the punishment for each offence at a
fine of from $1,000 to $40, 900. Added
to the indictments returned at James.
town, N. Y, the oil trust faces the
possibility of paying the United
States the vast sum of s131 $50, 900,
as punishment for the offence of mo.
nopolizing the oil industry, by means
of rebates secured from railroad COM
panies.
All Of the indictments save one,
grow out of the shipments Of oil from
Whiting, Ind, to various points in the
South, Southwest and central portions
of the United States. The exception
Is the indictment charging the COM
pany with having accepted a rebate
in the form of cancellation of storage
charges at Chicago from the Lake
Shore & Michigan Southern.
1t is charged that the oil trust ac-
cepted from the seven railroads
named net rates upon its oil ship
ments to the South, Southwest and
central sections that were from II
to 81 cents per 100 pounds less than
the rate published by the roads, and
charged to other shippers.
Each count of the indictment rep.
resents the shipment of one car OF oil
or other petroleum products from
Whiting, Ind. 1t is shown that on
GAPS cars thus shipped, the Standard
paid approximately sS47 $50 less than
its competitors were required to pay
on the same shipments.
No indictments were returned
against the railroad companies. They
are the Burlington, Alton & Terre
Haute, Illinois Central, Southern and
Lake Shore.
Such indictments are likely to come
at a later time, and it is stated that
no promise of immunity was made
for the purpose of getting testimony
from the roads.
Attorney James S. Miller, for the
Standard Oil Company, said that his
client had not decided as yet what
its course would be.

Standard Oil Company and Railroads
Held by Grand Jury.

Two additional indictments were
returned by the federal grand jury, at
Jamestown, N. Y, one against the
Standard Oil Company of New York
and the other against the New York
Central railroad. The indictment
against the railroad contains a single
count, failure to file with the inter
state commerce commission the rates

The indictment against the STAN
dard, however, has 1875 counts, each
for a specific violation of the law.
The charge is the Standard accepted

Pennsylvania Railroad Company, the
New York Central and the Central

Twenty-one persons, including the

were rescued from the burning
steamer Charles A. Eddy by the De-

NEARLY MoBBED BY THE CROWD
Twenty Thousand People Shout Them
selves Hoarse at Madison
Square Garden.

William Jennings Bryan's entry into
New York was a series of ovations,
beginning with his landing at the
Battery at 4 O'Clock and reaching an
early climax when he arrived at the
Victoria hotel, and hour later.
Here the homecoming Nebraskan
was fairly mobbed by the thousands
of persons who had gathered outside
the hotel entrances and the hundreds
who had forced their way into the
corridors.
Such a welcome as seldom in this
country's history has been accorded
a private citizen was given to Mr..
Bryan at Madison Square garden in
the evening.
AS the guest of the Commercial
Travellers Antitrust league Mr..
Bryan was greeted by more than 90
900 persons, who filled the great
structure from floor to upper gallery.
At the same time the streets and
n outside the garden were
choked for blocks by other thous-
ands who stood patiently for hours
for the privilege of even a fleeing
glance at the distinguished visitor.
The interior of the garden was a wav-
ing sea of color. Every person in the
audience had been provided with a
miniature American flag and every
cheer from 10000 throats was accent
uated by the waving of 10000 tiny
STATS bearing the stars and stripes.
In his speech Mr.. Bryan told of
his observations while abroad, and
compared the systems of government
of other nations with that of our
own. Mr.. Bryan in concluding this
feature of his address, remarked: 81
return home a better American than

He discussed many topics of Ma
tional interest and declared himself
in favor of government ownership of
trunk lines, an eight-hour day for
workmen, and arbitration of labor dis

Nipple EMBEzzLED
Receiver Of Defunct Trust Company
Makes the CHARGE.

Examination of the securities held
by the defunct Real Estate Trust
Company of Philadelphia developed
the fact that Frank X. Nipple, presi-
dent of the institution, who commit
ted suicide, was an embezzler. The
authority for this statement is
George H. Earle, Jr., receiver for the
trust company. Mr.. Earle declined to
say what securities are missing, but
he declared that Nipple had hypothe-
Gated $65 900 worth of the paper, Sc
curing $50, 900 for the securities,
which he never returned.
Receiver Earle further declared
that President Nipple embezzled the
IS, 1900 he loaned to Adolph Segal,
the promoter. These loans, he assert
ed, were personal transactions.
