To-Day.
OTHER TRUE BILLS EXPECTED.
Counsel for Men Charged With
NaturalizatiO Frauds Objects
TO Having Defendants An
Swcr 10 120 Counts.

Before adjournment to-day it Is pruha-
hle that the Federal Grand Jury Will
round out its four weeks work 10y return
| inS indictments against some Of the ysri-
Gus ''get-rich-quick' concerns that uper-
ated so successfully in 81. Louis until
their sensational collapse a few months
ago.
The Grand Jury practically finished in
yestiSatiun OF naturalization frauds 50
far as this jury Is concerned. several days
ago. and ii Is thought most Of the time Of
the body has been devoted to the opera
tions OF the concerns that took hundreds
OF thousands Of dollars from the people
all over the country.
Post-Ofiice Inspector Dice is known 10
have been at work gathering evidence
against the ''Eet-r!ch-quick'' organizations
for months, and il is believed he has
placed all this evidence before the Grand
jury The evidence deals with Violations
Of the United States postal laws and is
said to be voluminUus.
As John J. Ryan is a Government Wit
ness in the recent scandals in the Post
Office Department at Washington il is
presumed he Will not be among those in
dicted- 1t Is also said that no investiga-
ton OF the methods Of +. J. Arnold has
been made by this Grand Jury. The in
ulcIments Nnlcn II Is thought will be re-
turned viii consequently be against other
concerns which have done a IKE business
in st. Louis.

argued by Judge Chester Il. Krum. in

and Frank p. Garrett for naturalization
frauds. Judge krum protested that

ment. contended that according to Federal
statutes where offenSes were similar in
their nature and the same penalty was
prescribed the cases may be Joined; that
this was the case in the charges at bar
and that the consolidation of the indiCt-
ments should be allowed TO stand.
Judge Adams took the matte HuGsr ad-
visement and will give a ruling to-day.
