PROSECUTION
Of HARTMAN
Belief That Lands Had the
Man Whom He Tries
in Special View.
BY Associated Press.

Washington, Aug ct is said here
tonight that if the administration
wants to prosecute E. H. Hartman
criminalIy, the way has been opened
by the action of Judge Lands in call
ing for a special grand jury to 1ndfct
the Chicago and Alton Railroad for
giving rebates to the Standard Oil cor
poration. The proof against the chi
cago and Alton Railroad is even
stronger than that on which the
Standard Oil monopoly was convicted.
The railroad corporation, of course,
will be indicted under the Elkins act,
but it is announced here that every
crimially.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion brought out clearly the proof that
Hartman was in absolute control of
the Chicago and Alton during the pc
riod in which the Standard Oil cor
poratiOn received the rebates.
1t is not at all improbable that
Judge Lands himself will get after
Hartman before the department of
justice or the department OF COM
MERGE and labor shall determine, if
at all how Hartman is to be prose
cuted. Two of the lawyers concerned
in the Rockefeller prosecution have
said in Washington that Judge Lands
believed that every active man in the
Chicago and Alton concerned in the
Standard Oil rebates ought to be sent
TO the penitentiarv. and it is likely
he had this in mind when he called
for the special grand jury for next
week.
