Grand Jury, Says Attorney.

y
Chicago, Oct flames A. Moffett.
president of the Standard Oil Company
of Indiana, will be the principal wit
ness before a special federal grand
jury which will convene today to in
vestigate violations of the interstate
commerce law.
Mr.. Moffett will make good" on his
recently published statement that, If
the Standard OIL Company in its trans
actions with the Chicago and Alton
road was guilty of rebating, many 9th
er shippers were equally guilty. At
least. this was the declaration yester-
day of Moritz Rosenthal, one of
Standard Oils attorneys.
Mr.. Moffett." said Mr.. Rosenthal,
will substantiate every statement he
has made. He has the information to
prove his assertions regarding ship
ping conditions under which other cor
porations operate, and he will tell the
grand jury all he knows.
There are many others, including
myself, who could lay before the grand
jury proof that his statements are
true"
''WilI Mr.. Moffett name the corpora

guilty." Mr.. Rosenthal was asked.
1T would not be proper to discuss in
detail the evidence he will give" was
the lawyers guarded reply,
Your general statement might be
taken to imply that Mr.. Moffett will
specify other concerns that have made
shipments on railroads under the same
conditions as the Standard Oil Conn
pany.'
We'll. replied Mr. Rosenthal, one
may conjecture what one pleases. All 1
