Washington, May 20.-The govern
ment has decided t enc the cases

charge of violating the Sherman anti
trust law and sought to secure the re-
moval to Nashville, when suit was be-
gun of such defendants arrested out
side of the state Of Tennessee. The
Virginia defendants, however, con-
tended that before they could be re-
moved from the state they should be
given a preliminary hearing to
termine the sufficiency of the evidence
upon which their removal was asked.
The court sustained the government
on this point, but on an appear being
taken the United States Supreme court
about two months age, found against
the government but without prejudice
to its own case and ordered that the de-
PENDANTS be discharged,
The department. of justice has now
decided to try the individual defend
ants in the states in which they re-
side and will also proceed to secure
the indictments and re-arrest of the
Virginia parties to the alleged combi-
nation.
Other indictments will be made
in Tennessee and other state. 1t is
said that there are thirty-one fertil-
izer companies in the alleged combi-
nation and that originally "A individ-
uals were indicted and arrested.
