FIVE INDICTMENTS RETURNED

Savannah, Ga, Dec. 3.-For viola
ton OF the federal act to regulate
commerce, familarly known a the
Sherman antitrust law. the grand jury
for the United States district court re-
turned FIVE indictments.
The Merchants and Miners Trans
portation company was indicted three
times once as the sole offender, and
in Joint indictments with the Atlantic
Coast Line and the Seaboard Air Line
railways. Morris f. Miller and HarVie
c. Miller. of Philadelphia, were jointly
indicted twice. The individuals were
Immediately taken into custody and
placed under bonds OF $4,000 each for
their appearance
The language OF each indictment Is
identical. save that the instances OF
various violations are tented in some
Of the indictments. All of the offenses
are alleged to have been committed
between Nov /. 1907, and the latter
part of May. 1908.
Five Cents a Bushel Rebate.
The first count in this indictment al.
legged that among the schedules was a
rate Of Is cents for each 100 pounds OF
oats in sacks, the shipment to be made
in carload lots of at least $4,000
pounds. II was stated that the steam
ship line concurred and adopted the
rates which the railroads agreed to
and the public were 50 informed by
the violators what those rates would
be. During the period from November
1907. to February. 1906 John Z. Nor
ris. f. and Harvie c. Miller. members
of the firm Of L. F. Miller & Sons, Of
Philadelphia were engaged In the
grain business as shippers. and on
Dec. 10. 1907. did transport at the rate
of 10 cents for each 100 pounds a
shipment totaling $4,000 pounds of oats
in sacks. The shipment was made over
the steamship line to Savannah. and
at Savannah was taken up by the At
lantic Coast Line, which in turn trans
ported il to Jacksonville.
The specific charge in this regard is
that both the initial and secondary
transporters knowingly, wilfully and
unlawfully failed to observe the tariffs
and schedules establishing the joint
rates. and that the granting of rate
so far below the published rate was a
wilful and illegal violation OF the com
merce law
The indictment dated Dec. against
the corporations contains only the
name Of the Merchants and Miners
Transportation company, and three
counts are to be found in this The
shipments are alleged to have occurred
or Jan. 3. :. 10; 10000 pounds. 10000
pounds. 10000 pounds OF wheat are re-
spectively alleged 10 have been the
commodities. In this indictment the
usual rate of 10 cents for each 100
pounds is alleged to have been given
Miller & Sons, instead of the lawful
rate of 10 cents as scheduled.

POLITICAL PROPHETS AT SEA
Eleven Unionists and Four Radicals
Are Returned by Unopposed
Nomination Stocks Drop
Heavily.

London. Dec 3.-The nucleus OF the
new house of commons was formed by
the unopposed nomination and conse-
auent return OF eleven Unionists and
-FOUR Radicals.
All of them were members OF the
last house. so there has been no trans
fer OF seats from one party to the
other.
Today will see seventy polls. The
constituencies are so scattered through
the United Kingdom that the results
should furnish a fair index Of the feel
ing OF the country Thirty-six Of these
seats formerly were held by Liberals,
% by Unionists and 8 by Laborltes.
In many cases the majorities were so
small that the verdict Of January last
may easily be reversed.
Prophets at Sea.
Political prophets are at sea, as the
elections are being held on the old
register. and there have been so many
removals since spring that the can
yassers have been unable to trace
many thousands OF the voters on rec
ord. Consequently the vote probably
will be smaller than heretofore.
One Unlonist forecast is a net gain
of thirty seats. and Unionlst optimlsts
see the possibility OF an anti-goyern-
ment landslide. However. the conf
dence Of the Liberals in a return to
power with an undiminished coalition
majority is mistaken.
Decline In Stocks.
There has been steady decline in
the stock exchange price OF Coalition
stocks since the opening OF the cleo
toral campaign. Starting at 100 as the
probable majority for the coalition OF
parties. the Squire gradually has drop
