ROAD GETS BENEFIT
ATTORNEY GENERAL NOT DIS
POSED TO SPLIT HAIRS.
WILL HOLD CONFERENCE TODAY
Bonaparte viii Examine ATOMS Tes-
timony in Chicago OIL Re-
bate Case.

Washington, d. Can important
conference will be held at the de-
partment of justice Monday between
Attorney General Bonaparte and Spe-
cial Attorney Morrison, United States
District Attorney Sims, of Chicago,
and Assistant Attorney Wilkerson, re-
garding the promise of immunity from
prosecution given to f. H. Hartman
and the Chicago & Alton for granting
rebates to the Standard Oil company.
This promise of immunity is sup
posed to have been authorized by At
torney General Moody, and was given
by Morrison when he was United
States attorney at Chicago, as result
of an agreement of the Alton offlcials
to turn states evidence against the
Standard OIL company
Judge Lands, after imposing the
fine of $29,240,0O0 on the Standard OIL
company, directed District Attorney
Sims to submit the case OF the Chl-
cago & Alton of allowing rebates TO
the Standard Oil company to spe-
clal grand jury and to secure lndlct
ments if possible. The attorneys ior
the Alton then appealed to Attorney
General Bonaparte against the decl-
sion of Landis. and called attention to
the promise OF the immunity and =
agreement 20 furnish testimony
against the Standard.
The attorney general was greatly
embarrassed by this situation, and de-
clared he knew nothing about it. He
tken summoned all the officials con-
cerned in the transaction for the pur'
pose of sitting the matter to the bot
tom.
Attorneys in Washington.
Special Attorney Morrison, District
Attorney Sims and Assistant Attorney
Wlikerson reached here Sunday night
District Attorney Sims brought with
him from Chicago the court record in
the Standard Oil rebate cases, so that
the attorney general may determine to
lust what extent the Chicago & Alton
should receive immunity from prosecu-
ton. Immunity was promised the
road on condition that its officials
freely and fully testified to the part
II PLAYED in violating the Elkins law.
An examination of the testimony
will be necessary to ascertain whether
they gave their evidence without re-
serve and played with absolute fair
ness with the government. 1t is not
the intention of the attorney general
to split hairs in the matter and IN
view of the fact that 1t was through
their evidence that the Standard Oil
company was convicted, he will be dis
posed to give them the benefit of any
doubt.
The department Of Justice will de-
cline to proceed against the Chicago
& Alton if its present understanding OF
the situation is correct, even though
the federal grand jury, under Judge
Lands instructions, returns indict-
ments against the road or its officials
After examining the record in the case
the attorney general will send another
letter to Judge Landis, in which he
will give his final opinion on the ques
tion of immunity.

President Roosevelt to Mr.. Hitchcock
in whica words he wrote.
