INK EXPERTS
ARRAIGNED AS
CONSPIRATORS
Van Dyck and Bloede
Plead Not Guilty, Fur
niSh Big Bonds.

Edward Van Dy-ck, former chemist at
the Bureau Of Engraving and Printing
and Victor G. Bloede. the wealthy ink
manufacturer Of Baltimore. indicted yes
terday on charges OF conspiracy TO
defraUi the Government, were ar
raigned before Justice Stafford at noon
today, pleaded not guilty and gave bond
iG the sun, OF $1,000 each.
The United States Fidelity and Guar
anty Company Of Baltimore is surety.
The men waived the reading of the
Indictment which covered over sixty
pages Of typeWriting and cites various
instances wherein Var Dyck is alleged
TO have conspired with the Baltimore
manufacture in the manipulation OF
the ink contracts at the bureau.
Both men. when seen after their ar
raignment. said they would have moth
ing 10 say or the subject for the pres-
ent, bUt at the proper time would estab-
lish their innocence. It is their con-
tention that the money paid to Van
DyCk by BlOede was ROYALTY on q GER
tain hard black ink preparation which
the Baltimore firm purchased from Var,
Dyck, and was not, as charged bv the
Government, a rebate at the rate of 10
cents q pound for each pound sold the
bureau.
Both men state they will return to
their respective homes this afternoon.
Van Dyck Is now employed as a chem
ist IN New York. He was represented
IN court by Attorney Stanton Peelle.
u. AIr. Bloede was represented by At
torney Robert Biggs. Of Baltimore.
The Government was represented in
court by Assistant District Attorney
Jesse c. Adkins. who has worked up
the voluminous evidence against the In
dicted men. Mr.. Adkins approved Of
the bond offered, which was made in
person by ], S. Swamstead, agent for
the Fidelity and Guaranty Company.
Immediately after their arraignmeut
the two men had their attorneys pre-
pare a statement In defense Of their
relations at the time Mr.. Wan Dyck
was connected with the bureau. All the
allegations contained in the indictment
are denied insofar as il concerns anv
wrong-dOing of the principals. 1t is
not denied that sums of money were
paid Van Dyck, as charged by thefGoy-
ernment but the transactions are ex-
pla1ned by the defendants as follows:
In the year 1901 Edward NJ Van
Dyck, who was the chief of the ink
making division in the Bureau Of Print
ing and Engraving invented q process
for the manufacture Of hard-black, for
use in plate printing.
With the permission Of the Secretary
Of the Treasury he sold this process TO
Victor G. Bloede, president of the Y.
G.. Bloede Company. engaged in the
manufacture of chemical specialties.
The arrangement between Mr.. Van
Dyck and Mr.. BlOede called for the pay
ment to Mr.. Van Dyck of royalties on
each and every pound Of the black sold
whether to the Government or private
consumers. The black was tested by
the bureau in the spring of 1901, and
WAS awarded the contract in competf-
tion with many other blacks. The price
at which sold, a cents, was q saving of
10 cents per pound over the black previ-
Ously used"

Cardinal Offers Prayer.

Just before the mass began Cardinal
Gibbons left the throne, and went to
the foot OF the altar, where he said
preliminary prayer and returned as
the three black robed priests took their
places at the foot of the altar steps.
During this ceremony the quartet of
the regular choir sang Lead. Kindly
Light" as twelve little altar boys came
out of the sacrfsty carrying lighted
candles, and took up their position in
front Of tha altar.
The choir. under the direction of
Armand Gumprecht, sang Walters re-
QUEEN mass, and as, the first strains of
the Requiem aternum" sounded from
the choir loft. the big congregation felt
the fun significance of the service.
The Rev. DR.. Fletcher. Of the Cathe-
dral Baltimore. preached the funeral
sermon. DIR. Fletcher dwelt at length
upon the life and work of Dr. Stafford
and particularly upon his association
with St PatriCk's Church. He reviewed
the energy with which the late pastor
had worked for the development of the
parish and the material results of his
labOTs. DT. FletCheT's sermon was par-
tculaily pleasing TO members Of the
congregation in that he drew with a
hand of a friend the life picture of the
pastor they had known and loved.

GREAT NORTHERN
BRINGS RATE LAW
TO HIGH COURT
Standard Oil and Other
Corporations Repre-
Sented at Supreme
Bench Hearing.

The great legal battle over the inter
probation Of the rebate laws began IN
earnest today in the Supreme Court Of
the United States The Great North
en Railway Company, which is direct
ly interested, the Standard Oil Com
pany, and a number Of other railroads
indirectly concerned, had a host of law
yers IN court. while Attorney General
Bonaparte and Assistant Attorney Cen
eral Purdy trepassed the Government.
The Great Northern attorneys are ask
ing the court TO vaCate a judgment of
the lower court, which fined the road
$I5.0O0 for granting rebates TO the W. p.
Devereaux Company on goods shipped
from Minneapolis to Seattle. The fines
had been imposed under the EIkins act,
but after the passage of the Hepburn
rate law.
Declare Law Exempts Them.
The railroad and the Standard Oil.
which has something Of a fine itself TO
pay for accepting rebates, assert that
one Of the clauses Of the Hepburn act
releases railroads and shippers from all
penalties for violating the anti-rebate
provisions Of the Elkins act in cases
where prosecutions had not already
ben begun at the date Of the passage Of
the Hepburn act.
In my opinion" said Mr. Purdy to-
day in his argument for the Govern
rnent, THE fallacy underlying this posi-
ton consists in confusing the several
purposes which a saving clause may be
employed to subserve."
Slipped in Without Debate.
Neither side has referred to the clause
as a sleeper" but It is pointed out
that this thorn for the Government got
into the law without debate on the floor
Of Congress
This clause was inserted by Con
gress." continued Mr.. Purdy, "to pre-
serve old methods Of procedure with re-
spect TO causes then pending in the
courts of the United States It should
not be construed as extinguishing any
penalties, fOTfeitures. and liabilities
which had accrued under the old law.
Congress was not in frame Of mind
to excuse YiOlatOrs of the rebate law.
Disclosures had been made which es-
tabushed beyond all controversy that
the practice of rebating had not been
discontinued but had become general
The one dominating idea in the debates
in Congress regarding the subject was
that the old law should be sIeng hen
