GRAND JURY TO ACT
WILL INVESTIGATE THE LOCAL
LIQUOR CASES.
Assistant District Attorney Martin Asks
That Petition Flied Against
Grand Jury Action Be
Vacated,

Assistant District Attorney Logan
Martin appeared before Probate Judge
CASTOR yesterday morning. asking that
he be allowed to withdraw his former
petition, filed with the Probate Judge
some weeks ago, petitioning that the
order OF the Judge sending the famous
liquor cases to the grand Jury for in
yestigation and Indictment be vacated.
Judge CASTOR granted the request Of
the Assistant Solicitor to withdraw his
petition, thus being relieved of the
necessity OF making a ruling upon the
petition.
1t will be remembered that thirty odd
men were arrested on warrants sworn
out by Detectives Burke and Stein
camp of the Law and Order League
charging violations of the general pro-
hibition laws. On preliminary hear
ing of the matter. Judge CASTOR de-
cided that the cases should be sent to
the grand Jury for investigation and
Indictment.
Assistant Solicitor Martin petitioned
Judge CASTOR few days later to vacate
this order, and allow the cases to pro-
coed to trial without the formality of
a grand jury investigation and indict-
ment. This was the petition with
drawn yesterday morning. The Su-
preme Court OF the state had sustained
Judge Gaston's position that all such
cases should be investigated by a
grand jury, IL q trial by jury was de-
manded by the defendants

GERMAN POTASH SALES.


Syndicate Will Continue Agreement
Provisioaally.
Berlin. July 1.-The German potash
syndicate has agreed to continue the
existing mutual protective arrange
ment Professionally for one week to
permit of further discussion with
American interests. Beyond this
nothing definite in the matter OF SELL
ing potash property to Americans has
been decided.
The potash syndicate Is the only
German Industrial pool that sells at
a higher price abroad than at nome I.
The United states takes upwards OF
81. 0oO, 900 a year OF potash products
for fertilizing purposes.
The virginia North Carolina Chemical
Company bought q potash mine In Ger
many In 1903 and other American fer
tuizer concerns have been negotiating
latelv with mine holders In Aschorle-
hen and the proprietors of the Sollstedt
mine and the Westeregeln Company I.
while the Americans have not closed
ARRANGEMENTS with these mine owners
they have acquired important conces-
sions on a majority of the mines In the
AschorIehen and Sollstedt districts.
ana the negotiations with the Westere-
gem Company are In advanced state.
This syndicate faces the possibility
of losing important American CUSTOM
ers.
It is said the Americans have made
a most advantageous offer for the
property of the syndicate. The pro-
visionai agreement expires at mid
night, July 8, and until then brisk
negotiations will be carried on to keep
the syndicate together.
The Prussian government. which
owns two mines. and Anhalt, which
owns one, will strongly support the
efforts to have the syndicate continue
since It Is estimated by the breaking
up of the syndicate. these govern
ments will lose about $2.260,0O0 an
nually In state and municipal taxes.
Herr Schmittman. sole proprietor Of
the Ascherleben mine with the Amer
lean owners and the owners OF the
Sollstedt mine. holds out firmly
against the terms of the syndicate.
There also are other difficulties con-
nected with the various companies.
The Virginia Carolina Chemical
Company which owns the Einigkeft
mine. is supporting the syndicate.
The total amount of pure potash
produced In Germany last year was
495, 900 tons, the value of which at the
mines was S27.250, 900. OF the output
II. 900 tons were shipped to the United
states at a price fifty cents higher
than II was sold for In Germany. The
average freight rate paid on this was
SIS ton.

mlnghaHs will appeal from the decision
Of Judge Nesmith confirming the YER
dict of Judge Alternately giving Kerr
G. Stevens a judgment of $140 against
the city for liquors destroyed by the

from the police court. The stun was
poured into the saver and the bottles

in Judge Abernathy's court was
brought and Judgment secured.
