the Grand Rapids business men held
yesterday afternoon in the Elks' club
was a successful affair
The meeting was called to order at
4:30 o'clock by I. P. Witter, who acted
as chairman. There were 60 present
at the meeting and the time before
6 o'clock was spent in informal dis
cussion and a smoker. A P Mulroy
gave several vocal solos which were
very much appreciated.
At 6 o'clock a supper was served in
the parlors of the Congregational
church. After the supper, l. P Wit
ter acted as toast master and called
upon several to give talks. Those
who spoke were: L. M. Nash, E: P.
Arpin, J. E. Gillispie, G. M. Hill, Dis
trict Attorney John Roberts, L. Am
undson, County Road Commissioner
A. E. Bennett, F. g. Wood and E. S.
Bailey of Marshfield. Mr.. Bailey told
the assemblage that the Marshfeld
council tonight (Tuesday) would vote
for the construction Of three miles of
concrete pavement.
George Hill offered a resolution that
it be the sentiment of the meeting as
favoring a concrete highway trunk
line between Marshfeld and Grand
Rapids by way of Pittsville. Some
vigorous objections were raised to
this but it was finally carried by a
large majority.
1t appeared to be the unanimous
sentiment Of the members of the coun-
ty committee and the Grand Rapids
business men that when roads were
built they should be built with a view
to their permanency. There is little
doubt but what the towns will appro-
pirate funds for road improvement
work.

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio March g.

(By United Press Association
George H. Gary, President of the U.
S. Steel Corporation and six large
industries were indicted by Mahoney
County grand jury today charged

dictment are:
The Youngstown Seat and Tube Co.,
Republican Iron and Steel Company
Briar-Hill Steel Company, Youngs-
town Iron and Steel Company, U. S.
Steel Company, Carnage Steel Co.

Youngstown riots in January when
four were killed and 81 injured and
property damaged to the amount of
$1,0OO,OOO.
The Grand Jury after thoroughly
investigating the strike and it's causes
brought the indictment because chap
ter $500 of the Ohio Statutes was
violated.
In report on the strike riot, the
grand jury censured W. H. Cunning
ham, mayor and the police force OF
East Youngstown. The report said
that Cunningham and the police force

Race of Woman Warriors.

The word Amazon is Greek and was
used thousands of years before Amer
lea was discovered. According to ira
dition, it was applied to race of fe-
male warriors who had the form but
hardly any of the attributes of WON
en-. In order that they might hurl a
javelin or aim an arrow more effec-
lively, the right breast was removed
to give greater freedom to the arm
hence the name Amazon from a-mazos,
without breasts. In works of art
sculpture and painting. the Amazons
were represented with the right side,
the place of the removed breast, COW
cred. The Amazon river in Brazil
was so called by the Spanish explorer
who discovered it because he said he
encountered fighting women there.

Will NOT CLOSE

Question Brings Out Lots Of Talk
Feeling Seems To Be Against An
other Bridge.

The meeting of the Merchants &
Manufacturers Association held last
evening at the Elks' club was we'll
attended. There were more out at
this meeting than have attended the
meeting for quite long time
While not going on record either for
or against the proposed closing Of the
stores on the evening of the tenth of
each month, the sentiment seemed to
be that the stores should for the pres
ent remain open on that evening for
the accommodation of the public and
that it was best not to take action on
the matter at this time.
Another thing that was pretty thor
oughly discussed was the petition that
has been circulated for a new bridge.
No action was taken on this question
but it was evident that the prepon-
derance of feeling was against the
building of another bridge and that
if anything is done, the merchants
will be back Of move to replace the
present bridge with a more satisfac-
tory structure
Some remarked that if a new bridge
were to be built, it would only be a
matter of time before the present
bridge would have to be rebuilt any
way and that the cost of repairs on
the old bridge would go on the same
as now.
The other matters considered were
matters pertaining to the members of
the association.

Lawyers Committee Reports Shelby
Attorney Not Guilty Of Wrong.
Memphis. Newton Estes, attor.
ney-general of Shelby county, has been
indisereet in arranging his personal
financial affairs, but has not been gull
ty of any serious wrongdoing, in the
opinion Of the majority Of the lawyers
of Memphis, who voted to receive the
report read by special bar committee
which has been investigating Estes
conduct, and to express the sense that
10 further action in the matter be
taken by the bar.
The consensus of opinion was that
Gen. Estes has been vigorous in pros.
ecutions, without regard to personal fl
nancial relations he may have had with
the defendants in court. That Gen.
Estes had not permitted financial OBJ
legations to influence his conduct in
the courtroom was stated specifically
In the committees report.
The committee report was signed by
VIM. H. Fitzhugh, chairman; Walter
Armstrong, M. C. Ketchum and E. b.
Klewer, w. M, Hall, the fifth member,
having become seriously i'll, being fore
ed to leave the city during the investi.
cation. The committee heard SO wit
nesses and examined many records.
In concluding it's report, which was
read before the lawyers mass meeting
in the county courtroom by Chairman
Fitzhugh, the committee stated that 1t
had been unable to arrive at the entire
truth of the charges and recommended
that the facts stated in the report be
laid before an appropriate tribunal Of
competent jurisdiction.
