The peculiarly well preserved condi-
ton of the bodies found today gave
hope that the recovery of the other
bodies will not be as difficult as was
expected.
One state mine inspector said the
bodies resembled mummies.
Only seven were identified. Among
these was John McGill, a boy. When

injunction was introduced today by
Representative Moon republican of
Pennsylvania, chairman of the COM
mittee on revision of laws. The
phraseology OF this particular bill is
expected to be given careful scrutiny.
The Moon bill is brief, covering
single typewriter sheet. In effect.
it provides that no injunction whether
introductory or permanent, shall be
issued by any federal court without
previous notice and an opportunity to
be heard on behalf of. the parties en-
joined.
But, it says further, if there appears
a probability that immediate and ir-
reparable injury" is likely to ensue
the court may issue a temporary re-
straining order without notice. 1t is
required that every such order shall
define the injury, state why irrepar-
able and why granted without notice
and shall not extend more than seven
days from the time the notice is
served In explaining his bill, Mr..
Moon said:
There are radical differences be-
tween the Moon bill and any bill on
this important subject that has been
heretofore introduced. My bill defines
accurately the distinction between the
various phases of the injunctive pro-
cess. 1t divides injunctions proper in
to two comprehensive classes-inter-
locutory injunctions and final injunc-
tons without notice and without an
opportunity of the defendant to be
heard.
1T then provides for what is somer
times. in present practice, indefinitely
termed preliminary or temporary in
| junction. but which is designated in
the bill by it's appropriate title Of re-
straining orders
can important feature of the bill
is that it accurately and definitely
defines the two essential prerequisites
of a restraining order without notice
First, by irreparable injury, and Sec
ond, the additional requirement that
the giving of notice or the delay Incl
dent thereto would prevent the doing
Of the act sought to be restrained be-
fore notice could be given.
1T also requires that the judge, be-
fore granting this order, shall find
these facts judicially. either from af-
fidavits filed or showing otherwise
made, and shall spread them upon the
records of the court

ALICE PRICES
WERE KEPT UP

NEW YORK. Feb. 18.-Prosecutor
Caravan said tonight that. acting upon
his recommendation the Hudson coun-
~ grand jury of New Jersey had in
structed him to draw up the form OF
an indictment against the National
Packing company and it's directors.
The grand jury, he said. had positive
evidence that food products in some in
stances have been kept in cold stor-
age for seven years.
1t was stated tonight that the Ma
tionaI Packing company had already
been indicted. Caravans statement. al
though technically denial, firecasts
such an action soon. 1t is understood
that the id 'ctment, when finally pre-
scented, probably will be for conspir-
acy in restraint Of trade, as the court
instructed the jury it might find in this
charge
Mr.. Caravans belief, the best proof
Of conspiracy to restrain trade lay
in the minutes OF the National Packing
company, which had been read to the
grand jury.
In the directorate of the National
Packing company appeared the names
Of many recognized holders of great
packing interests. Apparently, said
AIR. Caravan. these companies were
working independently, but he believ-
ed he had evidence that directors Of
the National Packing company had ia
ken formal action to hold surplus sup
plies in storage until the market pri-
ces should meet their own figures.
Directors involved.
The directors are j. Ogden Armour

tional value; to have practical dem.

Grover Israel today:
I'VE expect later to become an aux

with it in every way. The fruit in
dustry in the Touchet valley is no
longer an experiment but a profitable
reality and fruit men considered Il
high time to organize. The society
will make an effort to induce orchard
lists to plant uniformly; to plant va
rieties best adapted to soil and eli
mate of this locality; to advertise this
section in the east and to keep men,
bers posted as to new methods, rela-
tive land values, etc.
Meetings are to be held regularly

What CLAWS Thought.
Il thought, in view of all the facts
and the difficulties l had had in get

you said: Another point involved,
to which your attention is called, is
that the entire field has been with
drawn from all forms of entry. There

there would be no opportunity for
other filings to be made. This would
enable the forest service to secure
