N. IMPORTERS
ARE INDICTED
Charged That They Had a Fixed
Scale Of BribeS for Pay

SCHEME TO DEFRAUD THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

By United Press Leased Special Wire.
NEW YORK, Sept. 23.--The Fed
eral grand jury has voted a batch Of
indictments against leading import
ers who are alleged to have bribed
weighers to return short weights on
cargoes of Imports These indict-
ments are the direct outgrowth OF the
amazing graft revelations developed
during the trial OF former Chief Clerk
Bedell. Of the appraisers Office. and
the assistant weighers jointly indicted
with him.
Il is understood that the witnesses
who testified against Bedell and the
other men on trial went from the
court room to the grand jury room
where they told they knew OF the al
legged graft.
IL is reported that these men sworo
that many of the big importers OF
merchandise from Mediterranean
ports had a fixed scale OF bribes which
they paid weighers. This scale pro.
vided for the underweighing of al
packages one-third and in return tn,
importer is alleged 10 have paid th'
weight one-half of the amount o.
duty Of which the government was de
| frauded
The grand jury is expected to re
port It's indictments to the cour
early next week.

Grangers Divide on Whether
Autos Should be Licensed

That farmers themselves are rapidly
appreciating the difficulties of automo-
bilists and are. indeed. themselves rap
idly becoming motor enthusiasts was
demonstrated at the weekly meeting of
Brandywine Grange at Talleyville
last night when sentiment was divided
as to whether there should be a license
and extra tax on automobiles or
whether automobiles should be con-
sidered teams and relieved of license.
A comparatively short time ago
grangers were unanimous in urging
extra taxation upon automobiles. The
change of sentiment apparent at the
grange meeting last night is undoubt-
edly due to the fact that many far
mers now own automobiles and know
that motorists have troubles Of their
own. Rhose who disputed the argu-
ment for an additional tax even went
so far as to demand that teams should
be equipped with lights, as in Pennsyl-
vania, as a protection to themselves
and so that automobiles wouldn't
bump into them. Auto licenses should
be done away with and motor cars
placed I'm the same class with teams,
these argued. Those who opposed au-
tos declared that the present license
tax was insufficient and that an extra
tax should be imposed for their wear
upon the road. The debate will be
continued at future meetings.
A pleasant feature of the evening
was a luncheon of wedding. cake, con-
tributed by Mr.. and Mrs. T. T. Weldin

Note a few little things;
Does the woman who wears the un-
considerably big hat seriously realize
how inconvenient she makes It for
others?
And the woman with the long sharp
hatpin. which endangers the eyes OF
her neighbors?
Some people will carry a closed UNI
brella in such way as TO trip pedes-

ferrule
Others will stop a friend in the mid
die Of the sidewalk and compel the
stream OF humanity TO eddy around
them.

Yes. and mostly the result OF

This prophesy was telegraphed to-

been warned that more than 100 cler-
ical demonstrations are being PLAN
ned for October on the eve of the
assembling Of the Cortes. dor the pur-
pose of overawing the government.
To offset the effect OF these, the Anti
Clericals are organizing counter de-
monstrations and It is considered in
evitable that serious clashes will
result.
Great Meetings Expected.
Since the government announced
that II would not interfere with the
pro-church demonstrations. provided
the participants did not arm them
selves. the movement has gained i'm
mensely and indications now are that
fully 100000 people will take pare

the demonstrations. Publicly, Pre-.
