GOVERNMENT TO PROCEED
AGAINST LUMBER TRUST
Federal Grand Jury 10 Ready To Act
Following Expose In the lorimer
Case.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April 10
The North American today prints the
following dispatch under Washing-
ton date:
investigation of the lumber trust
by federal grand jury will be start
ed within the next two or three weeks.
Every effort has been exerted by the
department Of justice to keep the
plans of the government secret.
Enough has been learned from 9TH
er sources, however, TO afford sub
stantial basis for the assertion that
the evidence already collected is
deemed sufficient for presentation TO
grand jury with view to criminal
proceedings against the corporations
and individuals who compose the com
binations generally designated as the
lumber trust.
The great lumber interests OF the
country have recently been brought
into additional public disfavor as
among the chief supporters OF Sena'
tor William Lorimer, through the &C.
tivity in behalf of Mr. Lorimer OF Ed
ward Hines, millionaire lumberman
of Chicago, who has represented the
lumber interests generally in Wash
ington.
Hines recently appeared before the
ways and means committee OF the
house and the finance committee OF
the house and the finance committee
of the senate in opposition to Cana
dian reciprocity because OF the dam
age he insisted would be done the
lumber interests. Before that he had
called upon the president to protest
against the notoriety which was be-
ing given the lumber combinations by
the investigation into their affairs
made by the commissioners of cor
porations.
MIR. Hines, IL is reported urged
the president to make public all the

Der trust, because none existed, and
that 1t would, therefore, tend to stop

full Misrepresentation of the men and
corporations engaged in the lumber
business.
soon after this, the bureau of cor
porations published a bulletin on the
private ownership Of timber lands,
which so far from dispelling the su-
spicion that there is lumber trust,
presented information which clearly
indicated the existence of such a
combination. Necessarily the pros
pective investigation OF the trust has
no relation whatever to the Lorimer
case, and yet IL also is obvious that
each has bearing upon the other.
1T Is, therefore, most striking
coincidence that at the time that
members of the United States sen.
ate are planning to reinvestigate the
I4orimer election and the part play.
