REWARD FOR THE WRECKERs
St. Petersburg-Berlin Express Train
Ditched Near Berlin-Eleven
Persons Injured,

Berlin. Sept 4-The Prussian railroad
administration has offered a reward for
the discovery of the persons who wrecked
the st. Petersburg-Berlin express between
Strausbourg and Rebfeldt, near Berlin,
shortly before midnight, resulting in
eleven persons being injured. Presumably
1t was the work of anarchists or Rus
sian reVOlutiOnists, who hoped to kill
member of the imperial family who was
said to have been on the train. The
train was derailed and several cars were
telescOped and caught fire. An examina-
ton of the scene of the wreck at day.
light showed that the bolts had been re-
moved from the fish plates Of a fifty
foot rail, resulting in the displacement
of the rail after the locomotive had
passed over it. The persons injured were
mostly inhs bitants OF Berlin. postal
clerks, commercial travellers and two
army officers. 1t does not appear that
any Russian of high rank was a passen-
ger on the train. but the Grand Duke
Nicholas NichOlaievitch, with a staff of
six officers, is expected to arrive here to-
morrow on his way to the German army
maneuvers. when he will be the guest of
Emperor William.
The police investigation throws susDi-
cion for the StrausbOurg disaster on dis
charged railroad men who thus sought
to avenge their dismissal.

Plumbing Supply Trust?

1t was openly charged yesterday by 10
cal plumbers that the plumbing supply
market is absolutely controlled in Salt
Lake by one big wholesale firm and that
prices are exOrbitant here. Whether this
be true or not, Manager Bowen of the
Crane company, plumbing supplies. was
present and took an active part in the
conference held two weeks ago between
the executive committee of the Manufac-
turers & Merchants and the board of gov
errors of the Real Estate association
when the first inquiry into the proposed
amalgamatiOn of the Butchers & Grocers'
association was attempted. Mr.. Bowen IS
not a member of the executive committee
of the Manufacturers & Merchants. 1t is
believed that both the plumbing supply
situation and the amalgamatiOn lately eff
fected between the three big local sugar
companies here will unquestionably be
looked into by the grand jury should
the latter be called. The fact that Utah
made sugar is selling at a lower price
on the Pacific coast than it is in Salt
Lake and the statement made recently by
merchants that sugar sold more cheaply

Scope of Its Powers.

This is taken to mean that a jury can
be drawn at any time and the court If il
deems a jury necessary will no doubt
take the broader view.
A grand jury consists of seven citizens
who are selected by the distri6f court.
Five jurors constitute a quorum and five
must concur in order to find an indict-
ment.
The foreman of the jury is appointed
by the court and has the power Of admin
istering OathS to witnesses.
The grand jury is not bound to hear
evidence for the defendant but the stat
utes say that 1T is their duty to weigh
all the evidence submitted to them, and
when they have reason to believe that
other evidence within their reach will ex-
plain away the charge, they should order
such evidence to be produced and for
that purpose nay require the county at
tOrney to issue process for the wit
nesses."
1t is also provided that the jury shall
not return an indictment unless it is rea-
sonably certain that the evidence sub
mitted is sufficient to warrant a presen-
tatiOn to a trial jury.
II d grand jury is called ii cannot be
kept on one line of inquiry If it desires
to take up matters outside the specific
subject assigned to II by the court. Be
fore the jury begins a work it is charged
by the presiding judge and this charge is
general in its nature and although it may
call attention and direct legislation of
certain alleged crimes it cannot cOnfine
the jury to that one line of investiga-
ton.
