WILL NOT DROP 1T.
IL the Grand Jury Fails, the Coal
Combine Will Not Be
Dropped,
But VIII Go to Cncle Sans Court
Fourteen Indictments
Found.

The grand jury made partial report
yesterday, and it Is thought that in
day or two will make final report and
be discharged. There were fourteen
indictments submitted to the court with
out comment, and of these two were not
made public. The name of John j.
Rhodes, of coal combine investigation
feme, does not appear in any of the in
dlctments made public, and there is an
impression among knowing ones that
his name is not mentioned in the two
that were secreted from the gaze of the
reporters. 1t is well known that large
number of witnesses were before the
grand jury to testify on the coal com
bine matter, and among these are r. A,
Walsh, IgnatiuS DOnnelly and IL. p.
Bjorge, members of the legislative in
vestigating committee.
Richard A. Walsh said to a GLOBE
reporter yesterday that there is an I'M
preston abroad among knowing ones
that the grand jury will not find an in
dictment against Rhodes or any of tue
coal combine people. He seemed rather
disappointed at such prospective turn
of affairs, and said that if this grand
jury does not indict, the matter will be
taken before the United States grand
jury, as directed by the resolution of
the legislature. Commenting on the
character of the evidence, Mr.. Walsh
said that the bookkeeper of Mr.. Rhodes
had contradicted that gentleman as to
meetings held in the interest of the
combine. The clerk had named
meetings held. and gave the names
of men attending them. Mr.. Rhodes
had said that no one was refused
coal, while on the contrary fifteen wit
nesSes went before the grand jury and
testified that they had been refused coal
until they Joined the combine. Mr..
Walsh was indignant at the idea Of the
grand jury's possibility of not finding
indictments, and declared that the peO-
pie will not submit in silence to letting
the combine escape.
The indictments made public are as
as follows:
