FORTY TO BE INDICTED.
Chicago Grand Jury Will Return
True Bills Against Dealers.

CHICAGO, Jan. T-Forty indictments
have been voted by the special Grand
Jury which during the last week has been
investigating the causes of the shortage
OF coal in this city. No names were
given out, it being declared by States
Attorney Dineen that, inasmuch as the
indictments had been merely voted and
not returned, no list of the accused men
would be announced before 10 o'clock on
Monday morning, when the jury will re-
convene. II is said that among the men
against whom it 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
torney as one reason why no list of the
accused men would be given out tonight.
In analyzing the evidence to which 1t
had been listening for a week the jury
believed It had found a combination ex-
listing among the operators, the jobbers,
the wholesalers and the retailers, cover
ing the course Of the coal supply from
the mines to the consumers. They also
found that understandings existed be-
tween the operators of the various States,
the Illinois Coal Operators Association
and the Northern Illinois Soft Coal Ope<
rators' Association being in coIIusion with
the Indiana Coal Operators Association
in an attempt to govern the whole btu
minous supply of two States
What application the conspiracy act
could have to the local dealers and one
rators in the face of the fact that the
combination is general was the hard ques
ton for the jurors. but the attorneys ex-
planned that as soon as the coal was
brought into Illinois the possessor who in
any way restrained trade was amenable.
with this Interpretation in mind the Jury
continued the taking OF corroborative tes-
timony.

Made by John W.
Mitchell.
Says Men in COllieries Are
Not Supplied With Suffi-
cient Cars.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 17.-President
John Mitchell of the Mine Workers Union
delivered to-day his farewell address TO
the coal strike commission in the course
Of which he said: Several days ago 1
addressed a communication 10 all Of the
anthracite miners. urging them to coop
crate with the management of the mines
in increasing the output of the mines. for
tho purpose of relieving this terrible suf-
fering due to the coal famine Since my
communication was received by them [
have heard from a large number Of our
LEGAL unions and in nearly every instance
the miners tell me that the production
Of coal cannot be increased through any
effort Of theirs: that in most cases the
companies are failing to supply them as
many cars as they would load. In other
words, tho regular turn of cars will not
amount to as much as the men are ac-
oustomed and willing to load. so that they
cannot increase the output of the mines
In some few cases they say that they
could and have agreed TO do so"
Major Everett Warren of Scranton. who
represents several coal companies before
the commission, interrupted Mitchell and
requested him 10 bring proof Wa<Fanting
this assertion. The companies, he said
had information 10 the contrary, and
they would show that the men did not
ard were not willing TO load as many cars
as they could be supplied with. In re-
ply 10 this Mitchell said
Il am not attempting. Of course, to tes-
tify as witness in the matter. I am
giving the sources Of my information ia
each case. 1 do not say this for the pur-
pose Of placing the responsibility on any
body else. The fact Of the matter is, my
information would indicate that it is i'm
possible 10 move more coal. The miners
tell me the tracks are congested with
loaded cars OF coal at the mines. 1 want
to say this. in connection with It, that
we have $500 men who were on strike that
have so far been refused the right to
work. We have waited patiently since
the date Of resumption for our men to be
placed back in the mines. We believe
tLey ought TO be given work. We do not
want to and will not cause trouble at the
mines. but will do all we can to prevent
it. But L want the commission to under
stand that the men who have been idle
all this time are getting impatient.

No Duty to Be Collected.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE Treasury
Department has received a number OF in
quiries to-day as to whether the Govern
ment proposed to admit coal into the
United States free of duty under the act
approved January Is. or to collect the
duty and then refund 1t to the importers.
In view of the fact that the wording of
the act leaves some doubt as to the real
purpose of Congress, Chairman Payne Of
the House Ways and Means COMMITTEES
was consulted to-day, and his answer
leaves no doubt that it was the intent of
Congress that no duty should be collected.

WILL CASE
Judge Gear Presents Ills
Views in Written
Decision.

Judge Gear has filed written de-
cision bearing on his appointment al
ready reported of Edmund Pearson
Dole as guardian ad Item of Muriel
Campbell and Beatrice Campbell, min
ors. Much of 1t is taken up with ar
gument and authorities to show that
the mother of the minors, Mrs. Camp
bell Parker, is not entitled to nominate
the guardian as she essayed to do by
petitioning for the appointment Of A.
+. Judd. At the same time, concluding,
he quotes from Mrs. Parker's testimony
to corroborate his opinion that her de-
sire was that her children might have
everything that belonged to them.
In his comments on the matter, Judge
Gear holds that the sale Of the San
Jose property to Miss Alice Campbell
for $4,000 was Sham SALE" for it
appeared not only that she did not pay
cent for the property but also that
she did not understand anything about
Tie lIlhtttl. "ioS Ndhibptii, iht ouNeS
holds, was used as dummy through
whom the trustees under James Camp
bells will should secure title to the
property He does not believe the sale
"can be allowed to stand in case prop
er judicial proceedings are instigated
to set it aside
Mr.. Bird the San Jose attorney,
Judge Gear says, sis Of course much
interested in keeping matters in statu
quo, as his position depends upon so
doing. But the court must blame the
trustees for allowing this to go on, for
both Mr.. Cecil Brown and Mr.. q. o.
Carter have admitted to this court that
they believe the will to be void in Cali
fornia. They are, however. following
the advice of Mr.. Bird, who has sought
and is seeking to keep this property
in the trust created by the will, on the
ground that this was testator's desire.
AS the California property was pur-
chased after the will was made / do
not see how such conclusion can he
reached, but, even II it were so, the
children have the right to what legally
belongs to them, and IL the trust be
void in California this property would
descend directly to the heirs who are
entitled to it in fee simple, and a con-
tention to the contrary is adverse to
the interest Of the children"
