STANDARD oil.
Company Charged With
Having Taken Rebates
From the Lake Shore
BONDS ARE HEAVY

CHICAGO, Aug. S.-An indictment
charging the Standard Oil Company
with receiving rebates in the form or
non payment of storage charges TO GER
tain railroad companies was returned
by the Federal Grand Jury before Judge
s. II. Bethea this afternoon The in
dictment came a surprise, inasmucn
as the Grand Jury had just begun the
investigation today. The Standard Oil
Company is the only defendant, no ofh-
clalS OF the company and no railroad
companies or officials being named.
The bond of the defendant was fixed by
Judge Bethea at S25,O00. This is the
case investigated by the Grand Jury in
Cleveland, Ohio, where it was found
that the Grand Jury had no turisdic
ton The testimony taken there was
transferred TO Chicago and the dOcu-
ments in evidence were identified bv
witnesses who testified in Cleveland.
The indictment contains nineteen
counts, each count constituting sep
der the Elkins law, which provides a
fine of from $1,000 to $4,000 for each
violation. Under this indictment. should
the Government procure a conviction
on the trial of the issues. a fine of $780,
COO as maximum under the EIkins
law may be assessed.
The indictment alleges that by a sys-
SSAA VI dlAllHS the STANDARD VII GOHl-
pany certain concessions the oil COM
pany benefited to the extent of sS5O7
during period Of time from August,
1903, to February. 1905. The indict-
ment. as explained by the Government
attorneys, means that in nineteen in
stances certain consignments of oil for
the Standard Oil Company were stored
by the Lake Shore and Michigan South
ern Railroad Company and that the
railroad company received no payment
of cents a ton a day from the oil
company for such storage but that its
competitors were compelled to pay this
amount.
Each count sets up a discrimination
of from $500 to $500 a month In favor
of the oil company. 1t will be neces-
sary for officials of the Standard Oil
Company to appear in court and pre-
sent bonds of $4,000 for the corpora
tion.

night, in which two of the mutineers
were badly injured.
boating party consisting of Pri-
Yates Burnett, Kensey, Haggerty, AL
derson, Erbe and Newland, left the navy
yard. They went to Gloucester, and, it
is alleged, sold their uniforms With
the money thus obtained beer was pur-
chased and when the men returned they
had two half-barrels of the beer in the
boat This they smuggled into camp
and about a score of men were soon un-
der the influence of the intoxicant.
While in this condition the men at
tempted to leave the yard and when
matted attacked the corporal. The alarm
whistle was sounded and the men of the
Lancaster quickly responded A gener-
al fight ensued during which several
shots were fired. Burnett, one of the
ringleaders, had his throat cut and
Kensey's right arm was fractured. Af-
ter nearly an hour of fighting the mu-
tinueers were subdued and the princi-
pals placed under arrest
Yesterday Captain Miller of the Ian
caster ordered Burnett and Kensey
court martialed. The trial was quick,
and. although the findings were not
made public because the commandant
OF the yard must pass on them it is
said that sentences varying from one
TO tve years in the naval prison at
Chelsea, Mass, will be the outcome.
Haggerty and Erbe, who, while not
taking active part in the outbreak, were
