JURY REINNcIS BULLS.
FINDS TRUE BILL AGAINST FIVE
ONE NEW DEFENDANT.
ROthschild Indicted with Brown,
Hayne, Scales and Thompson for
Violation OF Sherman Law.

New York, July 1.-William p.
Brown and Frank b. Hayne of New
Orleans, Eugene G. Scales Of Texas
and Col. Robert NJ. Thompson Of New
York were reindicted by the federal
grand jury today, charged with GRIM
inal violation Of the Sherman anti
trust law in connection with an al
legged conspiracy to restrict the sale
Of cotton during the crop year of
1S09-'10. Morris II. Rothschild Of
Mississippi, new defendant, was also
indicted.
James A. Patten of Chicago, who
plead guilty last February to the for
mer indictment and paid a fine Of $4,-
900, and Charles A. Kittle of New
York, who testified before the grand
jury, were named as conspirators but
not indicted.
The new bill, containing but one
count, covers practically the same al
legations set forth in the former in
dictments of eight counts handed
down in July, 1910, and demurred to
by the defendants. 1t omits, how
ever, the specific charge that the de-
PENDANTS conspired to operate a COR
ner. This was done to meet views of
Supreme Court Justice Vandevanter
on the essentials of a corner as ad-
vanced in his opinion overruling the
demurrers. Without describing their
operations as a corner the present in
dictment charges the defendants with
shipping several hundred thousand
bales OF cotton out Of the country
during the four months ending Sep
tember 1, 1910, and says that their
purpose was Ito prevent actual cot
ton from becoming available to short
sellers-for delivery upon their con-
tracts for sale" II further alleges
that a part Of the plan was to compel
these short sellers as we'll as spin.
ners Of cotton, manufacturers Of cot
ton and cotton merchants to pay ex-
cessive prices in order to obtain cot
ton for their needs"

GREECE TO MAKE WAR.
Announces That She Will Start Fight
ing Now.

Berlin, July 1.-The Greek foreign
minister informed the correspondent
OF the Frankfort Gazette at Athens
that Greece intended to begin war
against Bulgaria today without any
formal declaration.
The foreign minister made the
following statement:
After Bulgaria has answered all
the conciliatory steps of Greece by re-
peated breaches Of treaty and by
crossing the provisional boundary
fixed a short time ago, the Greek
government feels forced to give the
Macedonian divisions of its army the
order to assume the offensive.
WAR will in this way commence
without a formal declaration and the
Greek government will submit a sta
tement in this sense to the Bulgarian
government 1T Sofia today.
Greece declines to accept the re-
sponsibility for this war which un-
questionably will have grave conse-
quences."
The Greek legation here today re-
ceived an official dispatch from Ath-
ems stating that the Bulgarians had in
auguarated general attack on the
Greek and Servian positions in Mac
endonia along a front Of 140 miles.

WAR IN MACEDONIA.
HARD TO TEIL WHAT IS HAP
PENING.
Some Dispatches Say Fighting Has
Ceased; Others Tell OF Its COntin-
uanCe.

London, July 1.-The Balkan stu
alton is extremely puzzling. The Ser
Wan government announces almost in
the same breath the acceptance of
Russian arbitration and the existence
of a state Of war.
The dispatches which arrived to-
night from Belgrade are of the most
conflicting character Some an
nOunce that fighting has ceased, since
Monday; others that serious fight
ing continues and that the Ser
vians have captured Istip and Krup-
ishte with heavy losses on both
sides
All these reports must be regarded
with suspicion. The only tangible
fact seems to be that there has been
no formal declaration of war or in
terruption Of diplomatic relations as
yet. The powers continue working
actively to avert a war which might
before long involve half of Europe.
The ambasadOrial conference met
at London today to discuss the situ-
alton but arrived at no decision. Moth
ing is known concerning Roumania's 8
attitude. A Bulgarian official state
ment has been issued, confirming the
capture Of Guevgheli and the throw
ing back Of the Greek forces on the
Struma River.
Accusations Of massacres and ra-
pine, so common during the last war,
are being spread broadcast, especially
by the Greeks, although, according to
official reports, the opposing states
have ordered their armies to remain
on the defensive. All Of the former
allies are making warlike prepara-
tons and are organizing hospital ant;
medical services.
A dispatch from Rome says that
Turkey has notified Bulgaria that un-
less she abandons her claim to a
war indemnity Turkey will join with
Servia and Greece in event of hos
tilties.
Fighting between the Greeks and
Servians on the one side and the Bull
garians on the other was still proceed
ing today all along the line from Istip
to Eleuthera, according to a dispatch
from Sofia. All the governments con.
cerned declare that their troops have
been instructed not to take the often
sive unless attacked and each party
Is trying to throw on the other the
responsibility for the commencement,
OF the war between nations which
hitherto had been allies.
Except in an isolated case the Bull
garians in Saloniki offered only a
feeble resistance to the Greeks and
the latter sustained no losses.

In Civil Court.

All of Tuesday morning was taken
up in the hearing Of the G. w. Stokes
case against A. Sprunt and Sons. Mr..
Stokes is suing to recover for cotton
alleged to have been placed with
Sprunt & Sons, and which he alleges
was never paid for. The suit is for
1884. the amount he alleges which
tho company owes him. On the other
hand Sprunt and Sons allege that
Stokes did not want the cotton sold,
when he says he ordered it sold and
that he put up margins on the cotton
after the time he alleges he ordered
1t sold.
The case was tried at a former term
OF court and a verdict rendered for
the plaintiff, but this verdict was re-
versed by the presiding Judge and a
new trial ordered. 1t has attracted
considerable interest. especially
among cotton buyers of the city and
county. a number of whom were wit
nesses in the case.
The case of Hercules Naples
against Hattie Spencer ended quite
suddenly Monday afternoon, when af-
ter all of the evidence was taken, the
complaint was dismissed and the case
thrown out OF court. The suit was TO
secure possession OF ten acres OF
land.
