Quick Action in Texas is Sur
prise to Washington
Officials.

Dallas, Texas, Aug. 3G-The federal
grand jury Of the northern district or
exa has returned indictments
against o number Of prominent oil
men coRaGcted with the Standard Oil
company The charge is restraint OF
trade ard commerce and unlawful con-
spiracy and combination in violation
OF the antitrust laws.
II is alleged that individual defend
ants, the Standard Oil company and
the Magnolia Petroleum company
conspired to destroy the business Of
the Pierce-Fordyce Oil association of
Texas.
The specific offense is alleged to
have occurred June 20, 1912. The
IN of the following persons ap-
pear in the Indictment:
Calvin n. Paine, Titusville, Pa;
John ID. Archbold, New York; Henry
c. Folger, Jr., New York; John Sea

and the Magnolia Petroleum Company
Of Texas.
Government Complainant.
Washington-The indictment Of the
Standard Oil officials at Dallas, it is
said at the department of justice, is
the result of a three months investi-
cation of charges that the decree dis
solving the so-called trust had been
violated. The government, it is add
ed, has not yet decided whether it will
proceed on the question of the viola
ton Of the decree, which would in
volve contempt proceedings. The Tex
as grand jury considered the question
under the criminal section Of the
Sherman law.
Contempt proceedings would have
to be undertaken directly before a
federal court. Such action is beyond
the function of a grand jury. The in
dictment returned, however, it is
pointed out, will not bar the govern
ment from prosecuting for contempt
Of court in case that course is con-
sidered desirable. Officials of the de-
partment Of justice believe, it is de-
clared, that the initial move in the
case should be made through a grand
jury and then if it developed that an
indictment did not promise to satisfy
the laws demands, they could resort
to contempt proceedings as well.
The special grand jury which re-
turned the indictment has been work.
ing on the case since last Tuesday,
when it was convened to consider the
governments allegations and evil
dence. The celebrity with which it
concluded the inquiry surprised Of
ficials here.
The present action constituted the
federal governments first move
against the Standard Oil since it was
dissolved last November under the
mandate of the supreme court of the
United States into it's 80 component
parts, to restore competition. A fight
between Standard Oil interests and
the Waters-Pierce Oil company, now
pending in the federal court at st.
Louis, involves the faithfulness of the
Standard Oil in carrying out the de-
cree Of dissolution.
