"bathtub trust were at the Department
Of Justice today for conference Wltr
Edwin T. Grosvenor, special assistant tt
the Attorney General.
While great secrecy was maintained
concerning the session, which was heio
behind closed doors, there is authority
for saying that no offer of compromlse
was accepted by the department.. ana foi-
lowing the criminal action, which Mr.
Wickersham has ordered expedited
number of the defendants may serve
prison sentences Of from one to foui
years
About thirty-seven defendants and
about fourteen corporations have Deer
indicted at Detroit Each defendant Is
charged with ten counts in each 1ndlct-
ment. Four counts charge conspiracy to
violate the antitrust law: four charge
combination in restraint of trade ana tWC
charge MONOPOLY
1t was reported at the department today
that some of the lawyers for the indicted
ones advised their clients to plead ''nolle
contendere'' in the hope Of having a
court impose fines and not Jail sentences.
Officials of the Department of Justice de-
clare the government has the evidence
necessary to imprison the defendants ana
so-called leaders will escape with fines.
Mr.. Wickersham Not Present.
Attorney General Wickersham was not
present at the conference, but he publicly
declared on a recent occasion that he
would insist on Jail sentences in all fu-
ture convictions of violations of the Sher-
man act. This statement was made fol-
lowing the imposition of ten-thousand-dol-
lar fines by a Pittsburg court on indicted
directors of the window glass trust.
All the evidence in the civil suit prose-
cuted by Frank III. Watson. United States
attorney at Detroit, will be used in the
criminal action. Mr.. Watson attended the
conference with the attorneys today.
Two or three days ago the defendants
in the ''bathtub trust appeared in court
in the Michigan city. pleaded not guilty
and asked the right to change their pleas.
Attorney General Wickersham gave per-
sonal instructions that if such reserva-
tions were to be made the time in which
the pleas might be changed must be
limited.
The court fixed January 3 as the last
day in which such action could be taken.
The conference today was one of the re-
suits.
1t was said today that Mr.. Wickersham
would not be at his desk at the depart
ment tomorrow. and should the attorneys
desire conference with him, in spite of
his edict to expedite the prosecution,
such meeting may not be held until
Tuesday next.
