Nav Also Charge Contempt.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-The In
dictment of the Standard Oil officials
at Dallas, 1t is said at the department
of Justice, is the result of n three
months Investigation of charges that
the decree dissolving the so-called
trust had been violated. The govern
ment, it is added, has not yet decld-
ed whether it will proceed on the
question of the violation of the de-
cree. which would involve contempt
proceedings. The Texas grand jury
considered the question under the
criminal feature of the Sherman law
Contempt proceedings would have
to be undertaken direct before a fed
eral court. Such action is beyond the
function of grand jury. The indict-
ment returned today, however, 1t 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 believed, 1t is
declared. that the initial move In the
case should he made through a grand
Jury and then, If 1t developed that
the indictment did not promise 10
satisfy the laws demands, they could
resort to contempt proceedings.
First Move since Dissolution.
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
government allegations and evidence.

Though one-third Of the porgram
was omitted the service consumed two
hours. Then it was discovered that a
special permit was necessary for a
continuance Of the ceremony as bur-
ials after o'clock are prohibited.
The presence of the mayor Of Stoke

solved the difficulty.
