Two interstate Commerce Con-

TWO SETS OF RESOLUTIONS
"Antis" Adopt the Title of federal

pose of New Body Claimed to Be
Same as Old. - -

Chicago, Oct. 27.-Both conventions of
the Interstate Commerce Law Conven.
tion adjourned today without recon
cling, and as consequence there will
be two organized bodies working in the
interest of rate legislation. The title
assumed by "Antis" was the Federal
Rate Regulation Association.
The purposes of the new body are
the same as the old except not to fol.
low the views set forth in the reso.
lutions.
The regular convention before adjourn
ing, adopted resolution endorsing the
Presidents plan for government freight
regulation. The "Antis" adopted a
resolution declaring that Railroads
should be kept within definite rights" :"
and for "such legislation as to remedy
existing evils
In addresses tho members of this
convention protested that its delegates
did not come to Chicago in the interests
of he railroads.
Among the vice presidents elected by
"Antis" were Wallace Nash, of Oregon.
and Mr.. Goldsmith, of Seattle.

Moscow, Idaho. Oct. 27.-Today's
train from Lewiston brought many peo-
pie from that city to appear as witness
es before the Federal Grand Jury in
laleged timber frauds. said to have been
perpetrated in this state. In all there
are more than 100 of these witnesses on
hand.
AS yet the Grand jury has not been
askedtto heH them; but it ispresuned
that matter viii be taken up tonight or
tomorrow. The reason for this is that
United States Attorney Ruick desires
personally to conduct the examination,
but owing to the. cases before the trial
jury he has been unable to do so.He win
conclude his labors before the trial jury
today.
1t is understood that in examining
witnesses before the grand jury, the
prosecutions will endeavor to connect

William Dwyer, all of Lewiston, with
having conspired to defraud the gov

former indictments were postponed un-

The government has been strenuous.
in its efforts to secure statements
from the witnesses before they appear

of these witnesses have been taken into
