II. b. Duncan, attorney for the
Interstate Commission, appeared
before Federal grand jury in
Seattle, Tuesday, Jan. II, with
sufficient evidence 10 warrant the
grand jury in returning criminal
indictment against Hewitt Lea
Funk Co. as a corporation, and
VIM. G. Funk, its manager, per-
sonally. The specific charge
against Funk and his company is
that they attempted TO obtain the
transportation of building mater
ials in interstate commerce at less
than the lawful tariff rate, which
is violation Of section 10 Of the
act TO regulate commerce which
terms such an Offense a fraud. The
law provides a penalty for each
0ffense upon conviction Of a fine
of not more than 100000 or inn
prisonnent in the penitentiary Of
not more than two years, or both.
Although Hewitt Lea Funk Co.
have been regarded among lum-
bermen Of the coast as million
dOllor corporation, The Lumber
mans Credit Association, Red
Book, published al Chicago, while
listing the company at Seattle,
Washington, with a mill at VIII
burton, give them no credit rat
ing whatever. The same credit
authority lists the Hewitt Lea
Lumber Co. without any credit.
The national Lumber Manufac-
turers Credit Corporation. Blue
Book, does not even list the Hewitt
Lea Funk Co.
The indictment alleges that the
shipments made by the company
have included sash, doors, nails,
hardware. building paper, paint
and other articles, while they fur
nish the railroads with false bill
ling certifying the shipment 20
contain only lumber and shingles
which are carried under very
much lower rates.
The concern has endeavored 10 |
do a lumber mail order business
direct with the consumer in CON-
petition with the retail lumber
men Of the country. On an even
break the retailer has no trouble
whatever competing with this
concern for the consumers trade. |
They have in many ways gone out |
OF their way 10 attack the verac-
ify Of the local merchan. IN their
letters and advertising commune
cations.

Senate Committee Votes
for Investigation of Rob-
insOn Charges.
SENATOR AGAIN
ATTACKS REBER
Blames Deaths Of Fifteen Air
men to "Contemptibly In
efficient" Service.

Washington, Feb. 21.-A Congress
sional investigation into the army Avia-
ton service was recommended TO tho
Senate to-day by the Military Commit
tee, which reported favorably Senator
Robinsons joinr resolution for appoint
ment of a special investigating commit
tee Of two Senators and three Repre-
sentatives, with an appropriation OF
$4,000 for expenses.
The resolution was voted out OF
committee after Senator Robinson had
added a further statement to the SEN
sational charges against the service
made by him last week.
Senator Robinson produced before
the committee last week Photographic
copies of letters alleged TO have
passed between Lieutenant Colonel
Samuel Reber, head Of the aviation
service, and Captain Arthur S. Cowan,
in charge Of the San Diego station,
which, the Senator said, revealed that
the service was "contemptibly inefi-
Gent" The Senator declared to-day
that Of about twenty-four officers who
had qualified as flyers. fifteen had been
killed, several losing their lives be-
cause "they were required TO attempt
flights in antiquated biplanes known to
be defective"
An inquiry into the aviation service,
which will proceed independent of Con
gressional action, already has been
ordered by the War Department.
Few Filters Produced.
"The inefficiency and unsatisfactory
results of the present management of
the aviation section" said Senator Rob
inson. ARE disclosed by the fact that
during eight years, or about that, in
which the signal corps has had control
of aviation only about twenty-tour
qualified fiers with the military rating
have been produced. While the state
ment was made before the House Com
mittee on Military Affairs that there
are now forty-six officers who are
qualified as fiers and who are attached
