 THROWN OUT OF COURT
Fourteen Men Were Under Indictment
 at Coventry, R. ].

Providence R. l., July 30.--The cases of If Coventry men under indict- 'ment charging fraud in connection with the election of Congressman Walter R. Stiness in November, 1914 were thrown out of court yesterday by a decision of Federal Judge Brown sustaining a demurrer in behalf of the defendants. The court ruled that the federal government was without juris- diction, the power of regulating such elections resting with the state.
 The government alleged the defend ants bribed the electors to vote for Stiness, that they debauched the cleo tion by distribution of beer checks and resOrted to other corrupt practises. Two other indictments of similar char acter are pending before the court up- on which the decision is expected to have like effect.
