Judge Requests Investigation of
Charge That Miners and
Operators Conspired.
LAW MUST Be FIRST
Conclusions of Jurors Must Be Full
Answer to Questions Uppermost
> lin Minds Of People Past
= Few Weeks.

indianapolis, Dec. 1S.-"Whether we
shall be governed by law by threats
and force was the issue put before
a federal grand jury which began
here the investigation Of charges of
ecollusion between miners and opera
tors.
Judge A. B. Anderson said the jur.
ors must determine if the minors and
operators have worked together to vio-
late the Lever act and antitrust
laws.
LET your conclusions" he said, "be
: full answer to a question which has
been uppermost in the minds of our
citizens for the past two weeks; that
is whether the government of the Uni
ted States or a group of men shall
rule this country and whether we shall
be governed by law or by threats and
force"
The grand jury will also investigate
charges that the coal miners violated
the governments anti-strike injunc'
tion by failing to return to work after
the injunction was issued.
The court laid particular stress up
on alleged violation of the Lever act
Judge Anderson's charge to the jury
was lengthy and in concluding he
said:
"Let your investigation in all these
matters be thorough and searching
and let your conclusions be a full an
swer to a question which has been up
permost in the minds of our citizens
for the past few weeks. That is
whether the government of the Uni
ter States or a group of men shall rule
this country, and whether we shall be
governed by law or force"
Judge Anderson instructed the jury
to investigate charges that the mine
owners not only c%onspired among
themselves to limit the production OF
coal, but that they corspired with the
miners themselves.

RECESS WAITS RAIL DECISION
Agreement for No Vacation Until
Measures Passes Senate.

Washington, Dec. 19.-The Senate
held its fifth night session on the rail
road bill with grave doubt in the
minds of the leaders that the meas
ure could be passed in time to permit
beginning of the holiday recess.
During the debate an agreement
was reached by Senate and House ma.
Joflty leaders not to permit a holiday
recess until the measure is through
the Senate and sent to conference. AT
their conference, however, Senator
Lodge and Representative Mondel]
agreed to suspend House business to
permit representatives to go home fol-
the holidays even if the Senate is
held by delay on the railroad bill.

WILSON STANDS PAT
Has No Compromise To Offer On;
Peace Treaty.
Chances for Ratification BY Senate,
Held Delayed III Not Jeopar-
diced.

Washington, Dec. 15.-President
Wilson has interviewed in the Peace
treaty dilemma with an announcement
that he had mo compromise or con-
cession of any kind in mind" would
make no move toward the trcaty's, dis
position. and would continue tic, h0ld
the Republican members of the, Sem
ate responsible for results and condi-
lions attending delay. The Presi-
dents position, regarded as peculiarly
significant in view of the recent dis
cussion in the Senate of a compromise,
was set forth in the following state
ment issued from the White House:
1T was learned from the highest
authority at the executive Offices that
the hope of the Republican leaders of
the Senate that the President would
presently make some move which
would relieve the situation with re-
Gard to the treaty is entirely without
foundation; he has nc compromise or
concession of any kind in mind but
intends so far as he is concerned that
the Republican leaders of the Senate
shall continue to bear the undivided
responsibility for the fate of the
treaty and the present condition of
The world in consequence of that
fate"
The White House statement appar-
emily had no effect in changing the
treaty situation. Democratic leaders,
indorsing the Presidents views, de-
clared that it did not preclude a Sen
ate compromise and that compromise
efforts would proceed. Republican
leaders reiterated that the President
was responsible for the present status
and must make the first move toward
a solution. Senators hoping to kill the
treaty alone expressed satisfaction.
Early Action Deferred.
On one point only, apparently, all
Senate factions were in harmony
namely, that decisive action on the
treaty probably would be deferred un-
til next month, after the proposed holt
day recess of Congress, planned to
end January 5. Senate debate, prob
ably centered about the White House
statement, is expected to be reopened
at once with fresh vigor.

and he will tell you that American railroads are
the best in the world. s
He saw the foreign roads-in England and
France, the best in Europe and in other Con-
tlnental countries and he. knows.
The part railroads have. played in the develop-
ment of the United States is beyond measure.
American railroads have achieved high stand
ards of public service by far-sighted and courage
Gus investment of capital, and by the constant
striving OF managers and men for rewards for work
well done.
We have the best railroads in the world-we
must continue to have the best.
But they must grow.
To the $780, 600. 100000 now invested in our
railroads, there will have to be added in the next
few years, to keep pace with the nations business,
billions more for additional tracks, stations and
terminals, cars and engines, electric power houses
and trains, automatic signals, safety devices, the
elimination of grade crossings and for recon-
struction and engineering economies that will re-
duce the cost of transportation.

vestment funds of many thrifty citizens, the direct
ing genius of the most capable builders and mann
ayers, and the skill and loyalty of the best work
men in competition with other industries bid
ding for capital, managers and men = the railroad
industry must hold out fair rewards to capital, to
managers and to the men.
American railroads will continue to set world
standards and adequately serve the Nations needs
If they continue to be built and operated on the
American principle of rewards for work well done.

Geronimo camp a few days ago, The
Oasis has learned that the work of
overhauling and repairing the mill

with a prospect for long and pro-
fitable run. There are large reserves
of high grade ore in sight and deve-
lopment will be continued to keep the
available rock far ahead of the mill.
The San Geronimo is one of the old
antigua" mines of Sonora, which was
noted as a producer away back in
the days of Spanish occupation. Ur-
der modern conditions it can and will
do far better. 1t is near the San
Miguel river, about % miles east
