COTTON POOL Is HIT
Eight Members Indicted on
Charge of Conspiracy.
WELL KNOWN IN THE TRADE
James A. 'Patten, Charles A, KittIe,
and w. p. Brown Among Those
Named-Men Accused OF FOrestaiI-
ing the Cotton Market After Hav-
ing Obtained Control of supply.

New York, June 1.-THE Federal grand
jury for the May term to-day handed in
an indictment against eight men Of the
so-caIled cotton pool. formed last Feb
ruary. charging them with a conspiracy
in restraint Of trade under sections 1 and
> of the antitrust law
These men are Col. Robert NJ Thomp-
son of New York. who is a silent partner
in the firm Of S. II. Pen & Co. cotton
brokers at 43 Exchange Place. and
Charles A. Klttle. who holds the cotton
exchange seat for that firm; James A.
Patten, the Chicago wheat Spectator,
who turned his activities toward the cot
ton market recently Eugene 3. Scales
cotton Spectator. OF Houston, Tex;
Sydney J. Harman, cotton Spectator
of Shreveport, La; Morris Rothschild.
Spectator and mill owner in Mississippi.
Frank b. Hayne and William p Brown.
Of the firm of w. P. Brown & Co. both
cotton dealers Of New orleans
Embodies New Departure.
According TO a statement made by
Clark McKercher, the special assistant
district attorney general. who with Oliver
D. Pagan. holding a ike Office has pre-
pared the case of the government for the
grand jury during the past two months
of intricate investigation, the finding Of
the Indictment to-day is a new departure
In the government construction of the
antitrust law.
The eight under indictment are alleged
10 have been guilty Of foTestalling the
cotton market after having secured the
entire visible supply Of raw cotton dur
ing a period of months, and In this way
securing the power TO dictate the price
TO the consumer.
To effect this forestalling process. q
combination between these eight men
named In the Indictment and certain cot
ton spinners and manufacturers was
necessary, and in the wording of the
grand jHry's findings such a combina-
ton amounted to a monopoly in restraint
Of trade.
No Reflection on Exchange.
The terms of the indictment do not in
any way reflect upon the propriety Of
methods Of dealing IN cotton generally
IN vogue on the New York Cotton Elk
change, nor, as Assistant Attorney Cen
eral McKercher pointed ont in his state
ment. is the matter of all dealings in
exchange generally touched by the dnd-
ings in the present instance.
The indictment is levied against "a
definite combination for an avowed pur-
pose which has been condemned by an
act of Congress"
