MeIlen Fools Camera Men.

Judge Hough withdrew his first ruling
and put the defendants under bail OF
$1,000 each. This was done solely because
Of their being non-residents. he said, and
but for this circumstance no bail would
have been required.
With this the proceedings IN court came
TO an end. and Messrs. Melen and Cham
berlin went before John A. Shields,
United States Commissioner. TO arrange
for the bail bonds. A representative OF
the United states Fidelity and Guaranty
Company was waiting. and Mr.. Mellen' :
bond was furnished Immediately. while
Mr. Chamberlin had 10 wait almost fifteen
minutes before he could leave the build
ing.
on their way out both railroad mon
amused themselves with the photoGra-
pliers. Mr. MelIen walked TO the eie-
vato, IN the north end OF the building
and a dozen camera men Immediately
rushed down 10 the street 10 be ready
for his exit. But Mr.. Mellen took the
elevator up instead OF down, got on al
the fourth floor. walked TO the south end
OF the building and got into his automo-
bile before his trick was discovered.
The reticence observed by Mr. Meller
and by Mr.. Chamberlin upon receipt OF
the news OF the indictment on Monday
was continued yesterday. Neither would
express himself on anything connected
with the alleged Illegal acts. The only
thing said for their side came from
Frank l.. Crawford. who declared that
when all the facts are known IL viii
clearly appear that there has been nc
conspiracy and no violation &c any law

scented Mr.. Chamberln personally. and
the government officials found they

rectly OF the charges made against him.
Mr. Cutler wrote yesterday To Nj.
Smthers, In London, apprsne him OF
pearance here for pleading. An appear
ance of Mr.. Smithers will be voluntary.
as the offence charged Is not one Gov
cred by the eXtradition treaty. and the
United States government has no power
To compel him to answer the charges.
There seemed TO be little doubt. however.
that Mr. Smiihers would appear In court
at an early date.

In the New York investigation as the per-

The three officials went over all the de-
velopments in tho grand jury inquiry and
discussed the advisability OF supplement-
ing the criminal action with civil proceed
ings.
As result Of the discussion, II is un-
derstood from high authority that soon

be filed, although 1t Is stated officially
that the question Is under Amusement"
II is recognized that the criminal action
will not necessarily break up the alleged

continuance Is almost imperative.
The Attorney General intends to press
vigorously the prosecution Of the three
officials indicted. although there is a pos
sbility that the case will extend into the
