Railroads Are Said to he
Forming a Defen-

RESULT PROSECUTION
Arises From Attempt to Indict
Alton After Its Evidence
Was Secured.

Chicago, Aug. An offensive and
defensive alliance between the Stand
ard Oil company and the railroads i'm
plcated with it in the indictments still
pending in this federal district is in
process of formation, and the result
will be apparent to the government
when the next case against the Stand
ard Oil company is called for trial.
No one openly will admit the organ
ization of this alliance. but il is evil
denced in the secret conferences daily
held in the offices of the Standard Oil
company in the Commercial National
bank building and in the half-hearted
denials of the attorneys.
Will Object 10 TeStifyinE. d.
The understanding said to have been
reached is that in all future trials aris-
ing over Standard Oil rebates. the rail
road officials will contest the right of
the government TO make them testify
and to furnish the company books as
long as possible. 1t is realized the
government may triumph in the end,
buJ IL gives ille ottIiN''Iu vi attorney =
a wider field of operations.
The reason prompting this alliance
is selfpresCryatiOn. In fining the
Standard Oil company last Saturday,
Judge Landis took occasion to call Il
special grand jury and instructed Dis
trict Attorney Sims TO present the evi-
denCe introduced at that case to this
jury with n view of securing the in
dictment of the Chicago & Alton. 1t
was upon Alton evidence and the tes-
timony Of Alton officials that the con
viction of the Standard Oil company
was secured.
NO Promises iTade.
There was no immunity offered or so
licited, but it is evident that the Alton
anticipated it from the furore which
Judge I.andis' instructions aroused
Moreover, a recent congressional en-
actment precludeS the possibility OF
immunity for the corporation. In the
event Of its Indictment it hardly can
do more than plead guilty and throw
itself on the mercy of the court.
