NO JURISDICTION
Cleveland Grand Jury Brings Oil
Hearing to Sudden
Close.
TWO INTERPRETATIONS GIVEN
One is 1t Mas Scheme to Whitewash-
Promise Given of Resumption at
Chicago.

Cleveland. July 1S.-The federal
grand jury adjourned here yesterday
afternoon after having administered
an immunity bath to G.. j. Grammer,
vice president of the New York Central
lines in charge of traffic. and after hav-
| ing failed TO report indictments against
the Standard Oil company. the Lake
Shore railroad or the officials or agents
of either company.
Ii is stated. however. that the work
will be taken up soon at Chicago under
the guidance of United States District
Attorney Sullivan of this city, but with
the express purpose of landing the
Standard Oil company and some of
its officials in a legal net from which
there shall be no escape unless by the
payment of heavy fines or by the more
severe penalty of imprisonment. or by
both.
VIII Drop Rail Cases.
The sum total of the work OF the
grand jury. according to the confess
sions of government officials. is the
gathering Of evidence which shows
that this is not the jurisdiction for
prosecution, and the securing of other
evidence that can be used in Chicago
and III New York to bring the Standard
Oil to book. Agents of the government
openly admit that the railroad end of
the prosecution is TO be dropped, and
all efforts are to be bent toward max
ing the Standard Oil pay a penalty and
to make Standard Oil officials suffer

Excuse offered.
Such is the statement of the govern

ing the investigation here. and such
is their excuse for having summoned

Oil company. and for having placed
them on the stand. there TO gain COM
plete immunity from prosecution.

reverse side is gathered from other
and shows what the independ-
ent oil dealers claim TO be well laid

made for the appointment of a commits
sion TO inquire into his sanity. There
is no doubt he will be declared insane
and sent TO the hospital for the Grim

This authoritative statement was
made to the World last night immedi
ately after the conclusion of a confer
ence by one who had been present. All
this conference were Mrs. William
Thaw, mother of Harry Thaw, other
relatives and several attorneys. Mrs
| William Thaw met Judge Olcott and
insisted upon him resuming the de-
Tense of her son, which she said he
could direct IN any manner he saw fit.
Olcott said he could give no final an
swer until he had conferred with other
members of his firm. The probabilities
are the firm will again take up direc-
ton of the defense of Harry Thaw.
AIienists Convinced.
"Olcott gave Mrs Thaw the informa-
ton he had collected which convinced
her that her son was mentally irrespon-
sible ON the night he killed White He
said a number of the greatest alienists
in the country who had been retained
by the defense were convinced Thaw
was irrational.
District Attorney Jerome is not eX-
pected to interpose any serious objec-
ton to the appointment of a commits
sion to inquire into Thaw's sanity.
Some of the alienistS retained by the
district attorney have reported to him
their belief that Thaw is mentally ir-
responsible Many friends of Stanford
White have asked the district attorney
to consent to such disposition of the
case rather than have the notoriety of
a trial.

THE JUDGE TAKES A HAND
introduced to Prove Ida Scott Tried
to Initiate Sisters Handwriting
Theft Charged.

Pittsburg, July 1S.-The most sensa
tional scene of the Hartje divorce cas-,
now on trial came today. During the
cross examination of Ida b. Scott, Mrs
Hartjes sister. by Hartjes attorney, ;
new letter was produced in an attemp
to show Miss Scott had been practic
! ing to initiate her sisters handwriting
Attorney Freeman, chief counsel foI
I Mrs. Hartje, leaped 20 his feet and il
| an excited tone declared the letter haC
been stolen from his office. Hartje's
counsel declared the letter with other
papers had been found in the street
and brought to them. Judge Fraser
compelled Hartjes counsel to deliver
the papers to Freeman, and would ad
nit no testimony as to how they were
obtained.
Explains Letter Writing.
Pittsburg, Pa, July 1S.-Not the
least important development in the
Hartje divorce case was the outline of
defense disclosed by the testimony of

of Mrs. Mary Scott Hartje, who was
put on the stand yesterday. Her testi-

respondent, at the request of Annie
Lutz, one of the maids. and she also
had given Annie sheets of her paper.
The charge of forgery, made by
counsel for respondent, will be rein
forced by accounting for the use in the
disputed letters of paper used by the
Scott girls in the manner indicated by
Ida's testimony that she gave it to the
maid. Her sister, Helen, also often
gave sheets of paper to servants, she
testified.
Watched Daughter Closely.
Mrs. Hartje's parents. Mr.. and Mrs.
John F. Scott, were witnesses. Mrs.
Scott testified it would have been i'm
possible for her daughter to have done
the things with which she has been
accused by Augustus Hartje since their
separation because she watched the
daughter too closely. She declares the
40 famous love letters in the case are
not in her daughters handwriting.

Richest Resident of London
Probably Worth Less Than
S50,O00,00O.

London, July 1S.-Those who are re-
ally in a position to give authoritative
information regarding the amount of
the fortune of the late Alfred Belt, the
South African financier. and the terms
of his will. have not yet given it to the
newspapers. The announcements of
the latter. therefore, are purely specu-
lative.
Estimates High.
Estimates ranging from $125.000.OO0
TO S625, ,000.0 900 have been published.
but it will probably be found when the
terms of the will are given out that
Belts fortune was somewhat below
$4,000, 900. About third of this
amount, it is expected, will be be-
queathed to national purposes in Great
Britain and South Africa, mainly Of
an educational character.
