Washington, July "A small au-

who was deposed as minister by an
Episcopal court on a charge that he
was the father of the child Of one of

Mr.. Williams said he is in possession
of evidence which he proposes to lay
before the bishop of Washington in the
hope of securing a review of the case
that will startlc this city. He declared
that the case will not rest until he is
Vindicated of the accusation. He charg-

ONE DRINK EACH
And Not That to lnebriates Is Now the
Rule About Fitchburg.

Fitchburg. Mass. July 2.-One drink
each, and that one only to those per-
sons who drink for the sake of refresh
ment and without a desire for intoxi-
cation. is the rule now in effect in all
the saloons in this city and several
nearby towns.
The saloon keepers, have united with
the brewers and police in seeking n
reform in the manner of conducting
the liquor business and all three par
ties to the agreement are helping to
work out the plan arranged.
In every saloon there is posted list
of those persons convicted of intoxi-
cation since May /. and it is optional
with the dispenser of liquids to refuse
any persons who, to his knowledge are
addicted to the use of drink or have
ever been arrested for drunkenness.
Patrons must first tell their name
before being served, and the barkeeper
gives him the desired drink after an
examination of the list. but one to a
person is the limit hereafter

For Grand Jury as Result
Of Cooperative Bidding
On Boston Municipal Contracts
Three Charges Each.
Court Says Evidence Does Not War
rant Holding the Fourth.

Boston, July 2-Thrce of the boiler
ard Iron works officials recently ar
rested on charge of conspiracy To de-
fraud the city of Boston through col
fusion in bidding for city contracts by
means OF what has been termed the
Boston agreement" We're held for the
grand jury by Judge Bolster in the
muniCipal court today and fourth
was discharged from custody. The men
who were held are John f.. Lynch of
the Hodge Boiler Works; Charles f..
koopman OF the Cunningham Iron
Works, and Duncan ID. Russell of the
James Russell Boiler Works. Alfred
T.. Cox of the Atlantic Iron Works,
was discharged on the ground that
there was not sufficient evidence to hold
him. The court fixed the bonds of each
of the three men held at $500 repre-
senting $500 on each of the three
charges.
Seven manufacturers We're originally
arrested on this charge. Three of
them waived examination when
brought into court last month and
We're held for the grand jury. The cases
of the others We're continued until to-
day.
After announcing his decision, Judge
Bolster made q statement cOnce: ming
the case in which he outlined the
method alleged to have been used by
the defendants in submitting blds
.with the purpose that the Russell Co.
should be the lowest bidder and il
awarded the contract should pay the
other defendants certain sums of NOV
ey. virtually i'm consideration of their
getting out of the way of the Russell
Co. and yet keeping up the sembance
of an active cCmpetion.'
Judge Bolster then said: "That such
arranged plan to create false
impressions and induce action from
which the parties expected to reap 4
common harvest is a moral fraud, no
right minded man will question.
81 cannot agree with counsel for the
government that this was conspira
CIV to commit the crime of obtaining
money by false pretences.
an my opinion what has here been
done amounts in law to criminal
conspiracy and the evidence is ade-
ouate at least for probable cause.
"rhe defendant Cox stands on diff
ferent grounds. The government has
seen fit to introduce positive evidence
from which it appears that he had no
knowledge of the original arrangement
The evidence against Cox does not
warrant this court in holding him.
