The next step was to lay the matter

all the small fry were reported to the
department of justice and special
prosecutor Frank Daley, appointed
TO handle the information before the
grand jury at Grand Rapids.
The small fellows were called in
and gradually as the information
widened the big fish were brought to

S. Burleson, postmaster general and
the Western Union and Postal Tele-

Two suits were filed by Mr.. Bar

The suits are the result of the at

State Railroad Commission. The ex-
listing telegraphic rates were fixed
by the Railroad Commission and have
