FIRST BLOW AT NIGHT RIDERS
United States Opens Fight on Ken
lucky Clans Through Indictments
Twelve Men Accused.

Cincinnati, O.-The United States
struck it's first blow at the al
legged Night Riders, when a federal
grand jury at Covington, KY, returned
indictments against IL men of Dry
Ridge, KY, for conspiracy in restraint
of trade. The indictments charge that
the defendants conspired to prevent
w. T. Osborne from shipping four
hogsheads of tobacco from Dry Ridge
to Cincinnati.
The offense on which these indict-
ments are based is characterized as
one of the most literal examples of
restraint in trade that has ever come
to the attention of the department. Os-
borne, who is an Independent tobacco
grower, had taken to the Dry Ridge
station a shipment destined for a Gin
cinnati warehouse and, leaving it
with the agent, received a bill of lad
ing. The Night Riders, hearing of it,
sought to dissuade both the shipper
and the agent from sending the tobac-
co, but, being unsuccessful, compelled
the owner to give up his bill of lading.
They then went to the agent and got
the tobacco.

from meat The letter reads: Many
laboring men of our country are
forced to abstain from the use of meat
because of the excessive high prices al
which it is sold and thus they are
deprived of that which is necessary
to give them the proper strength foI
their labors. In view of this fact, we
earnestly ask that you recommend to

as putting telephones in their resi-

losses from bank failures the total ir-
regularities foot up beyond 100000.
One official, Yarley Stanik, treas

to be nearly $1,000 short in his ac-
counts. The members Of the Cleve-

thing like $4,000 all told for services

back. There were about $500 of il
legal payments. The losses by bank

MISSING RECORDS HANDICAP
Mention of State Printing Deals Mys
terIously Absent from Books,
Say Probers.

Columbus, O.-Investigation Of new
leads in the printing department
graft is handicapped by the mys
terious disappearance Of records.
The trail, discovered recently, led
into the Office of the Queen City
Paper Co. Of Cincinnati. When Rep
resentative Riddle and Examiner
Brown of the Beatty committee asked
in Cincinnati previously to see the rec.
ords sof transactions with the state
they could not be found in the Office
of the Queen City Paper Co. The files
were complete except for books which
included the dates of invoices on file
in the state auditors office.
The transactions involve the pay
ment of more than $4,000 on five bills
certified to the auditor of state by
Mark Slater as supervisor of printing.
These bills were put through in
three of the four years from 1902 to
1905 inclusive. The first in 1902 was
for $2,001. These bills were on the
stationery of the Queen City Paper
Co.
Like the brelesford and Dinsmore
transactions, cash was secured ca
some of the warrants as soon as they
were issued. This circumstance
aroused the suspicion which started
the investigation into new fields. The
warrants we're indorsed by Charles
Whealen, as agent of the Queen City
Paper Co. Some warrants were han.
died through Dayton banks. This has
led to the Identification Of Mr..
Whealen as a prominent and wealthy
Dayton business man of excellent rep
utation. For many years he was prom
inent in the management of what later
became the Dayton plant of the Amer
ican Strawboard Co.
