Gulfport, Miss. April 24.-Much in
terest has been given to the circuit
judgship contest in the second district
by the formal announcement of Judge
]. H. Neville, of Gulfport, as an as

of fourteen counties, and he became

ing stockholders of millions of dollars.
The indictments were the outcome OF
a grand jury inquiry which had been in
progress several weeks. Charles s. Mel.
len, former president of the New Haven,
and principal witness in this inquiry,
was not indicted. His name appears,
however, in a list of officers and former
directors mentioned as "conspirators."
this bill as one of the "conspirators."
Bench warrants were issued for the
arrest of those indicted at the request
of the federal district attorneys. George
F. Baker, rated in recent years next to
the late Mr.. Morgan as the leading
financial power in Wall street; Lewis
Cass Ledyard. one of the country's best
known attorneys, and Charles NJ. Pratt,
a director in the Standard Oil Company,
appeared personally in court to enter
their pleas
George MacCulloch Miller, who is 90
years old, was represented by his son.
Their bail was fixed at 5000 each.
The complete list of those indicted is
as follows:
William Rockefeller. George MacCul-
loch Miller, Charles +. Brooker, Will
liam Skinner, d. Newton Barney, Rob
ert W. Taft, James S. Elton, James S.

Harg, Edward d. Robbins. former gem
eral counsel OF the road; Alexander
Cochrane. John l.. Billiard, George F.
Baker. Thomas Dewitt Guyler, Theo-
dore n. Vail, Edward Milligan and
Francis T. Maxwell.
The indictments charge conspiracy in

TO monopolize commerce Under Sec. 2
of the law, under which they were re-
turned. the maximum penalty upon con-
viction is one years Imprisonment and
5000 fine.
In getting the New Haven indictments
officials Of the department of justice
feel that they have the best opportunity
since the Sherman law was enacted TO
test its value as a criminal statute.

SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT IS
GIVEN $500 FINE AND JAIL
REFUSES TO OBEY COURT ORDER
FAvoRING UNION TEACHERS.
Decision of Far-reaching Importance Is
Rendered by Cleveland Judge; Rights
of Teachers to Unionize Established.

j. NJ. II. Frederick, public school su-
perintendent of Cleveland, Ohio, was
sentenced to ten days in jail and fined
$500 by Judge w. B. Neff for contempt
of court in dismissing six school teach
ers, active in forming teachers union
in disegardo of court injunction
This is the first time a school super.
intendent has ever been given jail
sentence for such an offense. The SEN
tence imposed was the maximum un-
der the contempt statute.
The contempt trial resulted from an
injunction issued by Neff restraining
the carrying out of resolution adopted
by the school board barring pro-union
teachers from the schools. In failing to
re-appoint the six teachers Neff held
Frederick was in contempt.
Frederick, found guilty on Monday,
had been given until Friday to reinstate
the ousted teachers. Had he done so,
Neff intimated, Frederick would have
received only nominal punishment
Frederick, through counsel, told Neff
he would not re-appoint the teachers.
Neff Immediately imposed sentence.
The outcome of the case is a tremen-
dous victory for the teachers and for
organized labor.
The decision set a precedent expected
to be far-reaching in its effect, as teach
ers in other cities are fighting forthe
right to organize.
