LEE TO Be INDICTED.
Informations to Be Filed Against
the Ex-Lieutenant Governor.
STAR WITNESS SENATOR MATTHEWS.
The St. Louis County Senator Said to Ba
Sore at Lee Turning States Evidence
and Gave the Prosecuting Attorney
Evidence to IndIct Him.

Jefferson City, Mo-, July 14.--As
soon as the circuit court meets for the
July term the prosecuting attorney,
Mr.. Stone, will file several informa-
lions against John A. Lee, ex-lieuten-
ant governor of Missouri, and also
against Whitney Layton, who repre-
scented the alum baking powder trust
here at the last session of the legis-
lature. AS yet no steps have been
taken to prosecute these two persons.
The informations to be fled against
Layton are for giving and offering
brides, while those against Lee are
for the alleged receiving of brides.
1t is understood that the star witness
against these two men will be Senator
Buell. Matthews, Of st. Louis county.
Matthews became sore at Lees action
in turning states evidence against the
other boodlers aud he gave the prose-
cutting attorney sufficient evidence
against Lee and Layton to make 1t pos
sible for him to ffAict them. Matthews
in this instance stands in the same po-
sition toward Stone as Lee does to
Grow and Folk.
At no time, 1t is stated automatically,
has Prosecuting Attorney Stone of
fered Lee any immunity, nor has he
promised to meet Lee even half way
on any proposition giving Lee protec-
ton, and he is therefore in position
to prosecute him to the full extent OF
the law.
Senator Matthews has never been on
friendly terms with ex-Lieut. Gov. Lee
and when the latter "peached" on the
crowd Matthews became very indig-
nant and volunteered the necessary
information to Stone for him also to
make record as prosecutor.

ONLY INCIDENT
OF A QUIET DAY
Another Striker Has Returned
and Resumed His Work.
DIFFERENT CLAIMS
OF THE TWO SIDES
Messrs. Orr and erlggs Say They
Have the Company Whipped-The
Company Does Not See it that
Way--A Proposition for
Discussion is FIatly Re-
jected by Union.

So far as excitement of an intense sort
is concerned, yesterday within the strike
region was chiefly notable for the de-
velopments which did not come, an at
tempt to wreck car being the only
exception. In the festered spots where
suggestions of renewed disorder have be-
gun to appear the military tramped the
ttreets again and the spots promptly
faded from the surface. at midnight all
was quiet over the line and had been for
many hours, except for a stone now and
then or some other incident Of like
trivial nature.
No further movement Of the military
from the city has been made and several
detachmcnts of those here have been set
to work again-an arrangement which Is
immediate in It's effects for good. Even
furloughs have stopped for the nonce,
except in cases Of known necessity and to-
day will probably pass also without see
Ing the departure of more troops.
Colonel Anderson is still of the opinion
that as yet 1t Is unsafe to make any
change in the protective policy adopted
and the experiences Of yesterday tend TO
confirm him and others IN the peile1 ,iiat S,
1t Is the bayonet and the musket winch
arr, keeping in repression the fuss makers.
Practically no disorder OF a serious SORT
was reported and only here and there at
intervals few and far between couln le
be told that there was anything unusua. unus :.
at all. The most serious happenings OF
tho day SO far as Is known was an aportire y, g
atterlus to wreck 1t esI' croWdec, WIZ

Another Striker at Work.
Among the interesting developmen.s o.
the day was the return to work OF an
other striker. motorman named Brauer'
followed the renewed suggestion that
there are other men who want TO SO
back. The strike situation itself SHOWS
no great change. The company declares
that it is progressing Wen III inc tasA t,sn
Of re-estabiishing the system on the
old schedule: the union asserts that It
has the company whipped, and that Mr.
Huff will give UP soon. A meeting or
the strikers was held last night as usual,
and there We're several interesting mat
sterss including a refusal on the part
of Division 15o to entertain a PROPOSE
tion to have discussion among It's mem-
bers OF the relative merits or the con-
tention Of the company and tnat OF the
strikers. In the way of legal matters,
which are occupying prominent place
in the public mind just now, there were
tbe d,scharge OF yyinn. charged with
shooting Sergeant Easley. and further
deyelopments In the Farley mix-up. In

Of Luther Taylor was begun, with some
interesting results.
