HUDSON COUNTY INDICTMENTS.
Two or Them for jury Fixing In the Intere est
or q street Car Company.

Capia ses for the arrest OF the NoftiCia Ia
and other prominent Hudson county men
who have been indicted by the Grand Jury
on a variety Of charges will probably be
issued tomorrow morning and then Sheriff
John C. Kaiser's constab les will get busy
II is expected that several days will ella se
before all the indicted ones will be arraigned
in court, and by that time the jurors will

alleged official wrongdoing.
Among the indictments handed up to
Judge John A. Blair on Friday afternoon
were bills for embraoery against ex-Assem-
blyman Teddy J. Carroll, a Democratic
, politician, and Edward j. Hicks, a former
petit juror. 1t is alleged that Carroll, work.
ing in the interests of the trolley company,
influenced Hicks to bring about favorable
verdicts when the company appeared in
court as the defendant in damage suits,
Hicks appeared before the Grand Jury,
it is said, and admitted that Carroll paid
him a certain amount for fixing a jury.
Rumors were current for a long time that
petit jurors had been fixed in trolley
cases and a committee of the Hudson
County Bar Association took the matter
up. AS a result of the committees find
ings, it is said, Hicks has turned States

VIII Not Change Manhass Cup Conditions

Efforts nave been made by the Manhasset
Bay Yacht Club to get the American Yacht
Club to agree to change the conditions gov
erning the Manhasset Challenge Cup This
cup was originally offered for races between
80 ~footers, but when the measurement OF
yachts was changed it was agreed that boats
of the 3S-foot class should race for this trophy,
It was thought at the time that this was not
the proper class, but that it should be for the
27 foot class. The Mimosa III. won the cup.
and now the Manhasset Bay club wants the
American club TO agree to race with a boat
of the 81 foot class and practically legislate
the Mimosa III. out Of racing. This the
holders of the cup refuse TO agree to. IL is
thought now that the Manhasset Bay club
will challenge and name the 30 footer Alera'
This boat was launched on December 20,
1904, and is not amenable to the present
racing, rules. This boat ran be altered suii
would get considerable time allowance from
the Mimoss Ill. In races that were sailed
last year the Alera made a very creditable
showing against the Mimosa and 1t is thought
that with a time allowance she would be
successful in winning the cup.

STORMS OWES INDIANA $4,000.
Experts Figure Out the Fees the Secretary
OF state Didn't Account For,


INDIANAPOLIS, March 24,-The experts
appointed by Gov. Hanly to investigate the
books Of Secretary Of State Storms COM
pleted their work to-day and filed a report
with the Governor.
The experts say they are satisfied that the
report made at different times by the
Secretary Of State were correct copies of
the cash books so far as the cash books
showed the receipts of the Office. They
then proceeded to show that various sums
were collected and not accounted for on the
cash books and no report was made Of them
to the State.
The fees umaccounted for include those
received from automobile licenses issued
by the Secretary, those collected from
corporations fling dissolution notices, and
those collected for commissions issued to
Judges Of courts, prosecutors county officers
and Justices of the peace.
No data we're found in the Office from
which an accurate computation could be
made az to the amount collected for certi-
fed copies Of records in the 6fice. The
amount of these fees is estimated at 81 900,
and Mr.. Storms is charged with the amount.
His total indebtedness, according to the
experts, is s17, 1886.
The records show, however, that in
many cases Storms paid fees into the State
Treasury prior to the time which is shown
by the books Of the Treasurer and Auditor
OF State, the, receipts in Storms's Office
showing dates earlier than those OF the
books Of the other officials. The COM
mittee on this account reduces the interest

The raided place was at Ill West Thirty

Club rooms, where Capt. Dooley once in
charge of the Tenderloin, and Inspector
Schmittberger made their club raid.
The place had been opened but three
DAYS. Capt. Hodgins and the Inspector
got wind of it the day it opened. fester-
day about 4 o'clock they sent Detectives

they found a locked door, which they broke

There we're a score of men there. On the
third floor, the police say, there were I'VE
telephones, 70 cling charts and other betting
material. There was no one in the place:
On the fourth floor there were a couple Of
thousand poker chips, cards and a red and

disposed TO contend on that point II the ma
jority think differently, but I do believe: II
No rate rule or regulation should be es-
tablished by any tribunal without suspension
OF same pending an appeal to the courts;
and II the Judges are likely to be overbur-

helped out by increasing their numbers.
No carrier should be allowed to indulge
In needless or unnecessary litigation, ana
all should be required to give all necessary
security for good faith and to cover loss,

Until the national Government undertakes
TO grant the carriers their charters 1t should
not seek to compel them TO go beyond their
charter limit and contract for a service not
contemplated therein, and certainly 1t should
be understood If 1t is permissible to establish
joint rates and routes, andVthe carriers are
required to participate therein. and the power
of the commission 10 declare the division
of a joint rate should be limited 10 cases
where carriers have in effect no basis Tor
such divisions.
The carriers should keep all records, ac-
counts and memoranda prescribed by the
commission, and as much other
as may seem to their officials desirable. ana
no one should be prohibited from knowing
all he can about his business because his
knowledge may excite the ire of some MEM
Der of the commission.
The members of the commission should be
required to attend to their business and
dignity their positions, as do the Judges OF
Our courts. They should not be permitted
to waste their time upon cases they have
announced are beyond their jurisdiction be-
fore they have heard them, but should so
notify compliments without delay. They
should devote their time to cases wherein
they have Jurisdiction. that the public may
have the benefit of their services where they
be of some good. They should spend their
time where they have authority, and not
waste it in findings to show where they lack
it. and they should be prohibited from practis-
ing the arts of the demagogue. trying to excite
prejudice regarding parties who are likely
to come before them in controversy, and who
have the right to believe they are fair-minded
men with IA knowledge of equity and a dis
position to practise it.

USELESS SOFT COAL WRANGLE.
Both Operators and Miners Hesitate TO
Make the Final Break.


INDIANAPOLIS, March 24.-The bitumi-
nous miners and operators. after another
day of wrangle to NJ purpose have adj
journed till Monday, both feeling that it is
impossible to agree upon a scale of wages,
yet each h~esitating to move for a final adj
journment and thus bring about the crisis
which is regarded as Inc
Possibly the most interesting develop
ment Of the day is one in relation to the
ante conference compact between Presi-
lent Robbins of the Pittsburg o Com
pany and President Mitchell, whereby the
latter pledged himself to accept the 1908
scale if it were offered.
Robbins, on behalf of the Pittsburg
company and it's allied interests, mines in
Ohio and Illinois, offered to accept this
scale when it war proposed by Mitchell,
and he is now insisting that the miners
shall make an agreement with him whereby
his mines shall be operated regardless of
the failure of the other bituminous oper-
ators to accept 1t.
This offer has placed Mitchell in a very
awkward position and he has been told that
no such agreement would be ratified by
the general convention of miners, and the
scale committee itself must reject it. The
matter was the SuDleCU Oh u long CONFER
ence between Mitchell and members of
the executive board last night and to-day,
and he found every member opposed TO it.
They asserted that they were backed by
the sentiment of the miners in the employ
| of Robbins himself and they did not believe
thew would return to work unless there
was an agreement that included the entire
competitive district Of Indiana, Illinois,
Ohio and western Pennsylvania.
"A strike in the Illinois, Indiana and Ohio

stituted oan survive the contention Of the
last few days. The operators feel and
charge that Mitchell has given Robbins
an unfair advantage and say that II the
miners would permit them to do what
Robbins does. with their sanction they
COULD pay the 121 per cent. increase de-
manded and make more money than they
do with the present scale.
1t was charged in the conference com;
mittee that Robbins is operating gas coal
mines on the edge Of the Irwin field and
that he pays 10 per cent. under the union
scale and employs only ~non-union men,
and this with Mitohelrs knowledge and
oonnivance. 1t was also charged that
Robbins gets a % cent differential between
pick and machine mining, while Illinois
gets only Z cents and Indiana II cents
differential on a run of mine basis. The
charge was made, and not denied by
Mitchell. that he favors Robbins at the
expense of other operators, and he was
told to give Indiana, Illinois and Ohio the
same advantages and there would be no
trouble about a scale.

RAILROADS READY FOR STRIKE.
Erie shuts Down Shops and ID. & H. Fits
Carr for strike break rs.


W~ILKEsBARRE, March 24.-Three hundred
employees at the railroad shops Of the
Erie Railroad at Dunmore were suspended
this morning for an indefinite period owing
to the expectation Of a coal strike. The
notice posted reads:
an view of the coal strike taking effect
on April 1 and the consequent decrease in
business it has been decided to close down
this shop"
The suspension startled the men, asthey
have been working steadily and expected
to continue doing 80. Master Mechanic
Haines declared tina the suspension is
indefinite and that he received orders from
the main office Of the company to close the
shop.
Anumber of freight cars are being fitted
with hunks at the shops Of the Delaware
and Hudson Railroad to house strike break
ers in case of a coal strike. In the 1902
strike these we're found to be most efteo-
tive as lodging houses, owing to the readi-
ness with which they could be moved from
one colliery to another without exposing
the men.
The company is also storing coal in its
railroad yards for locomotive use and
making other preparations which indicate
that a strike is expected.
STRoUDsBURG, Pa. March 24.-Orders
were received to-day by W. II. Taylor,
master mechanic OF the Erie Railroad shops
here, to lay off the men in the general repair
shops on account Of the threatened coal
strike and decrease in business. About
one hundred men are thrown out Of work.
