INDICTMENTS ARE VOID.
Charges Against the Ohio Bridge Trust
Are Too Indefinite.

Columbus, Ohio, Feb. b. The SUI
preme court yesterday declared void all
the indictments brought against the
bridge trust in Chic.
The indictments which were brought
in Erie county and which charged viola
tion Of the state antitrust laws. were
held to be defective BY the court in
affirming the decision Of the Erie county
circuit court in the Hughes and Webster
case.
The indictments are held to be illegal
on the ground of indefiniteness. in that
they simply charge that the parties we're
engaged in a conspiracy in restrain Of
trade from March. 1908 to March, 1906.
without stating the definite times Of
violation and because the law makes
each days violation separate offense
and hence the basis Of a separate indict-
ment.

CONDITIONS
DEPRESSING
Reported at Annual Meeting
of Quarry Owners
VOTE TO KEEP RUNNINN
Main Reason Is the Unsettled State Of
Affairs in the Labor Controversy
Officers Of Association Elected
for the Coming Year. sg

A somewhat gloomy tone was mani
Tested at the annual meeting Of the
Quarry Owners association last evening
because Of the lack Of business, due to
the uncertainty regarding a settlement
between the manufacturers and their
employees and due also to similar unset
tied labor conditions at the quarries.
Both the present agreements expire
March first, and the manufacturers, on
their part, are not placing the usual
numbers Of orders at this time. This
naturally curtails the business at the
quarries very much, as, Of course, by far
the largest amount OF stock is quarried
for local manufacturers.
The quarry owners voted, however, to
continue operating their quarries as long
as possible, trusting that an agreement
will be patched up before March first,
although many of them reported that
they were running behind No doubt
this feeling that the quarries may shut
down is the cause of the rumor which
was afoat last night that work would
be suspended to-day. That appears to
be the only cause for the rumor.
Weather conditions. too, for the past
few weeks have been against very rush
ing business as the deep SHOWS and bits
ter cold prevent the best work
The negotiations between the owners
and their workmen are at present at
a standstill, in contrast to the active
steps being taken by the manufacturers
and their workmen in this city to EN-
deavor to reach an amicable conclusion.
At the last quarry labor conference, the
owners asked that a three years agree
ment be signed and the union wanted
an agreement for q single year, with
no continuing clause. There are some
other minor matters, but the question
OF length OF the agreement is the main
point at issue. When the last confer
ence was dissolved without satisfactory
results, there was no plan made for
further meeting. That is where the sit
uation stands in the quarryiug end Of
the business.
Owners Annual Election.
The owners. besides discussing the sit
nation, elected officers for the year and
talked over other matters. The election
resulted as follows:

All these political divisions work at cross pur- poses. and in no case can they afhieye protection to the fisheries. on the one hand and justice to the localities and individuals on the other The ease is similar in Puget Sound.

SAFETY IS DEMANDED
Interurbans Will Have to 0p-
crate Cars More Carefully
In the Future.
THE CAUSE OF ACCIDENTS.

At a conference yesterday in, Indi-
annapolis between the general manag-
ers, superintendents and train dispat-
cheers of the interurban lines of the
state and the Indiana Railroad COM
mission committees were appointed TO
draft uniform rules for the safe oper-
alton of traction cars. The conference
was the first of its kind that has ever
been held in the United States.
In appointing the committees Union
B. Hunt. chairman of the commission,
said that although the inspectors
would assist in the drafting of the
rules the responsibility for the rules
will lie entirely with the interurban
men.
Will Cooperate With Commission.
The commission the man the man
The committee program was recon-
mended by a committee consisting of
G. d. Emmons, H. A. Nichols. c. G..
Lehman, S. A. Wood and Fletcher
Durbin. The committee drafted reSO-
lutions, which were adopted by all
present, indorsing the work of the
commissions inspectors and express
ing willingness upon the part Of the
interurban men to cooperate in every
way possible with the commission in
enforcing the law.
So great was the number of officials
present that it was necessary to hold
the conference in the senate chamber.
Ex-Governor Winfield T. Durbin Of
Anderson, speaking as a stakeholder
in the Evansville & Southern Indiana
line, urged greater discipline on the
interurban roads of the state. State
ments were made also by Union B.
Hunt chairman of the commission;
Alexander Shane, the commissions
chief inspector, and others Mr..
Shane declared that 80 per cent Of the
accidents on traction lines are due en-
tirely to carelessness. Mr.. Hunt said
that there ''is deplorable lack of uni
formity in rules" on the interurban
lines Of the state. He called attention
to rules that had been adopted for the
uniform safe operation of electric
trains in Ohio, but said that the Ohio
rules are incomplete.
