Portland, Me, Feb. 9.-An hour at
ter the grand jury in the United

noon returned an indictment against
George Fred Terry, one Of the wealth.

ton that the second-class privilege OF
mailing at one cent per pound had
been withdrawn from the three publ
cations owned by him. These papers
are Sawyers Monthly, the Home
Queen and the American Home. The
Home Queen had already been discon-
tinued by the publishers. the Sawyer
Publishing Co., of which Mr.. Terry
was the manager and principal owner
The action Of the postoffice depart
ment was not directly connected with
the prosecution Of Mr.. Terry by the
department Of justice but both pro-
ceedings grew out Of the same investi-
CATION The indictment and the notice
of the withdrawal Of the second-class
privilege were coincident
The investigation which originated
with Pos.office Inspector w. 3. Robin
son of this city, was begun last Octo-
Der and was carried on by him for
four months, assisted by Postoftice In
spector Howard Z. Shaffer of Bangor
and Wilson z. Wilmot from the office
of the third assistant postmaster gen.
eral.
The proceedings Tor the withdrawal
of the second-class privilege which Is
so vital to the success Of this class OF
publications. were begun in January.
Mr.. Terry was ordered to appear
before A. L. Lawshe, the third assist
ant postmaster general, Jan. 20, to
show cause why the privilege of the
second-class mail should not be with
drawn. Mr. Terry appeared at the time
with his attorney and the department

tor Robinson and Mr.. Wilmot At his
request Mr.. Terry was given 10 days
i'll which to file an answer and at the
appointed time he answered in writ

which was received yesterday after

the grand jury and reported yesterday
afternoon concerned Sawyer's Monthly
only. For this paper the publishers
claimed circulation of LIST, 900. For
the Home Queen and the American
Home. 250,00O and 100000 respectfully
was claimed
The combined circulation Of 100000
paid the government about $31 900 an
nually at the second-class rates. If the
publications are continued and circu-
late the same number of copies the
| postage at the third-class rate would
be about $220.000 which Is believed By
the postoffice inspectors to be prohibi-
