Murdoch Offers Resolution Calling for
Information.

Washington, d. C.-Arraigning the
express companies for making enor-
nous profits on an infringement of
the government right to monopoly of
transporting mail and criticizing the
post-office department for surrender
ing that right, Representative Muir
dock of Kansas today introduced
long resolution calling on the post
master general for information.
The resolution. says that while the
postoffice department last year had a
deficit of $17,0O0,0O0, the Wells-Fargo
Express company distributed nearly
$25,000,000 in dividends, and that the
governments failure to exercise mo-
nopoly in transportation of mail is en-.
riching the express companies.

United States Government
Bill Also Returned Against
williamsburg Dock Assistant.

New York, N. Y. One of the
men higher up" has at last been
named by the federal grand jury, in
vestigating the sugar frauds. Charles
II. Helke, secretary and treasurer Of
the American Sugar Refining COM
pany, was indicted on charges of con-
spiracy to defraud and of making false
entries.
Harry w. Walker, assistant super.
tntendent of the Williamsburg docks
OF the American company, was also
indicted, together with other employees
OF the company against whom indict.
ments have previously been found.
In the new indictments Heike and
Walker are accused with Ernest w.

tendent OF the Williamsburg refinery;
James F. Bendernagel, former cash
Ter; Jean NJ. Voelker and James F.
Halligan, checkers, of making false
entries regarding four cargoes of SUI
gar at the customs entries. They are
further accused of having with
Oliver Splitter and the four checkers,
recently sentenced to Blackwell Is
land, conspired to defraud the govern.
nent by the underweighing of sugar.
When the indictment was handed
up the Judge Hough in the United
States circuit court, Special Prescott.
or Felix Frankfurter stated that the
issuance of bench warrants was not
necessary. as all the defendants, ex-
cepting Heike and Walker are at pres
ent under bail on similar charges.
1t is expected that Heike and
Walker will surrander themselves to
the court at once.
The new indictment contains six
counts-four of effecting false entries
and two of conspiracy. Under the
first conspiracy count, 10 overt acts
are charged against the various de.
PENDANTS.

charged that Charles R. Heike, on

spiracy, endorsed check for Sill

can Sugar Refining company, this sum
being alleged to be the excess of de.
posts on duty, while in truth it was
portion of the duty lawfully due

A second similar charge is made
against Heike with regard to a check
for $2,701.
Henry A. Wise, United States dis

FOR UNIFORl s ! I6ll Z s
GREAT CONFERENCE Is OPENED
IN NATIONAL CAPITAL.
About One Thousand Delegates Re
sponded to Call Of the Civic Fed
eration-Pres. Taft Attends. f.

Washington, Jan. 18.-Responding to
the call issue by the National Civic
Federation, about 1000 delegates as.
Isembled here today for national con-
ference to consider the subject of uni
form legislation. by the states of the
union. The delegates are from every
state and represent all fields of social
and business activity affected by the
present lack of uniformity of state
laws. The governors of most of the
states also are present.
At the invitation of the Civic Fed
GRAFTON, President Taft consented to
attend the opening session and make
the first address. He is deeply inter-
ested in the subject and feels that it
is of great national Importance. Lead
ers in the movements declare that un.
less the states legislate with substan-
tial uniformity on a number of sub.
jects, the tendency toward centraliza.
ton and corresponding increase of
federal power cannot permanently be
resisted.
The purpose of the conference is
not to pass on all the specific prob.
lens caused by. the dissimilarity of
state laws, but to educate public opin.
ion. as to the Importance of uniform
action by the states and to federate
the various agencies now striving to
secure such action.
Tomorrow the governors will begin
a three days. conference on the same
subject, and with them will meet Seth
Low, president of the National Civic
Federation; Alton B. Parker, chair.
man of the committee on program.
and r. M. Easley, chairman of the
executive committee of the same body.
President Taft will address the gov
errors tomorrow.

house of lords and home rule ended
with neither party in commanding
position. The results of the polling
tend to confirm the forecast that the
LIBERALS will retain control of the gov

encouraging number of seats, al
though less than the 20 which they

els out of the "a balloted for.
At the close of the elections
the standing of the various part
les, including uncontested seats,
was as follows:
Unionists 43, Liberals 81, La
borites 6, Nationalist 5.
Unionists gain IS, Liberal

Of the IL seats contested in
London the Liberals hold seven,
the Unionists five, three Of the

In the provinces the Unionists
gained southwest Manchester,

Bath.
The Liberals won Manchester

The popular vote goes strongly

of that party who hold seats won
them this year by majorities ranging
from 80 to 60 per cent below their
