Jury Worked Fast

The special grand jury whien returned the indictment has been working on the case since last Tuesday when it was cdn- vened to consider the governments al- legations and evidence. The celerty with which 1t concluded the inquiry surprised officials here.
 Today's action constituted the federal governments first move against the Standard oil since it was dissolved last November under mandate of tho supreme court of the United States into its 35 component parts to restore competition. A fight between Standard Oil interests and the Waters-Plerce Oil company. now pending in the federal courts at St Louis, involves the faithfulness of the Standard Oily in carrying out the decree | of dissolution.
 | The federal government is not a party to this suit which was brought nomal- | ly by the state of Missouri to compel the | inspectors of the election of officers os
 the rs-Pierce oil company at St. Louis last February to vote the proxies | of the Rockefeller and other Standard | oil interests which are said to have
 named Standard oil men as officials of ths | company The inspectors refused on the
 ground that it would violate the dissolu- | ton decree.
