Chicago, Jan. 20.-Forty indictments
have been voted by the special grand
jury, which during the last week has
been investigating the causes for the
shortage OF coal in Chicago.
No names were given out, II being
declared by States Attorney Deneen
that inasmuch as the indictments had
been merely voted and NOT returned
no list of the accused men would be
announced until to-day, when the Jury
will reconvene. II is said that the men
against whom IL is the intention to re-
turn indictments are many who stand
high in the business and social world.
This fact was given by the states at.

In the report which the special

said the coal men have also grievously
violated the antitrust laws and the
