Eight officials of the Western Fuel
company were indicted yesterday morn
ing by the federal grand jury on charges
OF eonspiring TO defraud the. United
States and of wholesale frauds and
swindling on coal duties by short weight
drawbacks.
The indictments were returned short
1y before noon before United States Dis
trict Judge W. W. Morrow, sitting for
Judge william c. Van Fleet in division
No. ! of the United States district court
The indicted officials are: John L.
Howard. president; James B. Smith, vice
president; J. L. Schmitt, director; Rob-
ert Bruce, director; Sydney V. Smith,
director; F. c. Mills, superintendent;
Edward J. Smith, weigher, and E. H
Mayer, weigher.
This is the first movement in what
promises to be one of the most sensa-
tionaI cases of alleged fraud against
the government ever laid bare.
FORMER CASE SIDETRACKED
Eight years ago an investigation was
made into coal frauds in this port, and
tracked through some strong influence
Special Agent William II. Tidwell Is in
vestigating this and promises some in
teresting exposures within few days
In 1905 Special Agents West and John
son worked several months in the in
vestigation. They prepared a volumin-
Gus report. 1t was handed into the
local custom house. 1t never left the
local custom house.
Special Agent Tidwell and United
States Attorney John L. McNab. who
are investigating this, assert that it
was waylaid somewhere between the
special agents office and the office of
the collector of the port.
TIDWELL IS WORKING
Whether or not there will be any re-
suits from this investigation, Mr.. Tid-
well was unable to say last night
Il am working on the matter now,
and am unable 70 say in which direc-
tion. or how far the matter goes, or
what the results of the investigation
may be-" he said.
Collector of the Port Fred S. STRAIT
ton said last night that he has reports
on two previous Investigations now in
his possession.
There are many things in connec-
tion with the affair that / would like
70 speak Of" he said, but in view Of
the fact that the case is in the hands
OF the courts, it would be hardly prop
er for me to render an opinion. I am
thoroughly conversant with the whole
perts who did much toward unearth-
ing what facts have so far come to
light I am conversant also with two
other Investigations OF a secret nature
into the workings of the Western Fuel
company, and the papers in relation
to these are now in my possession.
am not at liberty, however. to discuss
these or the present one.
1T should be distinctly understood
that the present inquiry is based en-
tirely upon the assumption that the
corporation has misrepresented the
number Of tons of coal sold to Ameri-
can ships foreign bound, and in this
way secured an alleged unlawful re-
bate Of 40 cents a ton from the gov
ernment
Il think it unlikely that the amount
Acould possibly reach s45o,oOo. as has
been stated"

question OF the presidency with Cen

receive the appointment of provisional
president at the hands of congress.
meeting of which body has been called
General Huerta was elected provi-
siona1 president by congress at spe-
cial secret session tonight.
Already forced to face plots, the
new administration caused the arrest
tonight of General Francisco Romero.
Romero is accused of completely with
Francisco Cosio Robelo in a new re-
volt. The plot involves a group of
rurales.
At the instigation of the government
Madero has been held formally re-
sponsible for the death of Colonel Riv-
eroll, which occurred at the palace at
the time of Madero's arrest.
President Madero, forced from the
presidency by the coup d'etat OF two
of his generals, is a prisoner in the
national palace.
Throngs Of men, women and children
seemingly gave popular approval to
the sudden change in affairs by crowd
ing the big square in front Of the ma
tional palace and deliriously shouting
viva" for the three principals and for
Manuel Mondragon, who had been con-
Quoting the Diaz military operations.
The demonstrations. however, Were
not without serious disorder.
Marco Hernandez, a brother OF the
minister of the interior, Rafael Her
nandez, was killed in the street by
rurales when he refused to cry Viva
Huerta."
A demonstrative crowd surrounded
him and insisted that he join in the
shouting. but he dedantly replied,
viva Madero!"
He was answered by the pistols OF
the rurales.
Another instance of disorder was the
firing of the building occupied by the
Nueva Era, newspaper organ Of the
Madero administration.
Vice President Jose Pino Saurez. who
was also arrested. was held prisoner
during the night in another part Of the
palace from that where Madero was
confined.
Each man was put under guard of
two soldiers.
MINISTER'S ARE PAROLED
The ministers of the cabinet were
given parole overnight. Senor Juan
Sanchez Azcona, private secretary to
Madero, fed in an automobile.
The deposed president will be treated
with all consideration by those who
have him within their power, it is de-
clared General Huerta promptly dis
patched message to Mrs. Madero. as
suring her OF the personal safety of her
husband and declaring that he would
be well treated.
