IND|CT THREE ROADS
FEDERAL GRAND JURORS CHARGE
RAILWAYS AND SHIPPERS
BREAK ANTITRUST LAW.
DUE TO GRAIN SHIPMENTS
Those HIt by the Government Are At
lantie Coast Lines, seaboard Air
Line, Miners Transportation Conn
pany and Philadelphia Firm.

Savannah, Ga.-Three large cor
porations and two individuals we're
indicted by the federal grand jury In
the United States district court here
Friday on a charge Of infringing the
antitrust laws by giving and ac-
cepting rebates on grain shipments.
The Atlantic Coast line and the Sea
board Air line railways were indicted
jointly with the Merchants and
Miners Transportation company for
specific violations of the Sherman
antitrust and Elkins laws.
Harvie c. Miller and Morris f. MIL
Ter, grain merchants and members Of
l.. +. Miller & Sons. Philadelphia,
were the individuals to feel the wrath
Of the government The Miller broth
ers put themselves in the jurisdiction
Of the United States court for the
southern district of Georgia through
their shipments into this district over
the lines Of the three corporations In
dicted.
In the indictments dates are given
when the individual defendants are
alleged to have made shipments over
the lines named at rates less than
those on file with the interstate com
merce commission.
II is alleged that from western
points to Philadelphia the Millers OBJ
tanned export rates where the law de-
manded domestic rates. This saved
them from one to three cents on every
100 pounds Of grain shipped.
Morris +. Miller and Haryie c. Mil
Ter OF Philadelphia were Immediately
arrested and placed under bonds OF
S25, 200 each.
Immediately after the indictments
were presented Judge Emory Speer
thanked the grand jury for its prompt
and effective work and commented on
the example of patriotism it had set
through the service rendered.
The beginning of the investigation
against the defendants arose from
complaints registered with the inter
state commerce commission during the
summer. n was said the Miller firm
had destroyed competition in grain
shipments over an enormous territory
embracing points along the Missis-
sippi and Ohio rivers and in the South
Atlantic states. Proceedings were
held before Commissioner Clements In
Philadelphia during July. The revela-
lions were sufficient to start the pow
erful machinery of the government
against not only the Miller firm, but
also the Intermediates.

SMALLER NAVAL ESTIMATE.
Amount Asked For Cut Down to Ae-
tual Necessities.

Washington.-The estimates of Sec
rotary of the Navy Meyer for the fiscal
year 1912, which show a saving OF
100000 as compared with the
amount for the department for the cur
rent year, provide for an expenditure
of s1s.13O,S27 for public works at the
navy yards and stations. These are
for items regarded as absolutely essen
tial. and are based upon a personal In
spection by Secretary Meyer of the
navy yards and stations which he
made on his recent tour.
The original recommendations made
to the secretary of these works reach
ed the sum of S2S,S21 $50, but a sub
stantial reduction was made. holding
the figures to matters entirely within
the range Of importance Of necessity.

100000 PEOPLE IN U. S
Total Population Estimated on Basis
Of Results Of Count Already
Given Out.

washington.-The total population
of the United States, as revealed by
the thirteenth census. is expected to
be announced by the census bureau
December 10.
Counting Arizona and New Mexico
as states. the totals for 2s OF the As
states already have been announced.
The grand total for 26 of these states
is 60.O36.759. which is a gain OF 81 to
20 per cent. over the population in
the same states in 1900. At this rate
OF increase the total population OF the
country should be about 100000.
The most striking development OF
the census bureau so far shown is
the relative growth of cities and in
dustrial centers compared with farm
ing regions. The eastern states have
more than held their own. while the
states OF the middle west have fallen

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
FOUNDER IS DEAD
Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy
AT Boston.
NEARLY NINETY YEARS OLD
End Came Very ouietly-old Age the
cause-Final illness short-Had
Many Followers.

Boston.-Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy,
founder of Christian Science, died Of
old age at her home on Beacon street,
Chestnut Hill She was in her Goth
year, having celebrated her seth birth
day on July 16 last.
The end came so quietly that Mrs.
Eddy's most intimate followers who
stood at her bedside thought she had
fallen into a calm sleep. The last
written words of the mother of the
Christian Science church, penned as
a message to her disciples, were God
is my life"
No physician was in attendance at
the bedside Of Mrs. Eddy.
While no one of those present, all OF
whom were devoted students, realized
just when death had come, it was be-
lieved by them and so stated that Mrs.
Eddy had spent her final moments in
the body in a spiritual cOmmuning with
God, fighting against death, according
70 the principles which she had her
self set forth. She was in possession
of all her faculties until the very end.
Natural causes" explains the death,
according to DIR. George d. West, a dis
trict medical examiner, who was sum-
moned after Mrs. Eddy passed away.
Later DR.. West added to his statement
by saying that the more immediate
cause was probably pneumonia.
It was Mrs. Eddy's last expressed
desire that the utmost simplicity
might be followed after she had passed
away.

Make an Appeal-story Of the
Crime.

Louisville.-Jos. Vending, charged
with the auocious murder of little
Alma Kellner in December of 1900,
must spend the remainder of his nat
ural life behind prison walls.
So said jury in the criminal
branch of the Jefferson circuit court
after week had been spent in the
trial OF this famous case.
Vending accepted the finding OF
the ~ men more complacently than
any of the spectators. The room was
crowded. Vending and his wife. who
has sat beside him during the trial
wore the half.smile which has char
acterized them both throughout the
six days OF the ordeal. Vending was
asked I'm French IL he had any com
ment 10 make on the verdict o; the
jury.
The prisoner smiled, looked over al
his attorneys and said: Il no guilty--if
guilty should le hanged. They tell
lies. They frame mp on me. But you
take care of me all right"
Then he looked into the face Of his
wife. They were close together and
he whispered a word TO her.
Instantly Mrs. Weddings face was
abeam with a smile. She took the
prisoners hand and prepared 20 leave
the court room. Vending from all
outward appearances was not disturb
cd by the verdict After giving his
FIRST attention to his wife. he spoke
10 Capt. Clements. then 10 John Ray,
when he again settled back into his
chair.
J. Reginald Clements. his attorney,
was emphatic in his expression Of opin-
ton. He said he would ask for n new
trial. adding: 1t was a cowardly YER
dict. The jurors should have had the
courage OF their convictions. II they
believed Vending guilty they should
have fixed his punishment ~ death"
For four hours and 20 minutes the
Jury deliberated. Its members entered
into an argument not 20 tell how many
ballots were taken nor how their die
cussion Of the case proceeded.
When the verdict was read one spec.
tator applauded with handolaps. Judge
Gregory ordered the man brought be-
fore him and fined him $40. ''This is
not n theater; where do you think you
nre?"
