Both OF these physicians had been
present at tho boxing match, and when
DIR. Russell was asked by juror IL
1t could be possible an injury had been
sustained by the brain or spine by any
blow struck during the contest, he re-
piled in the negative: he added that
he might have been doubtful about the
answer to that question If he had not
witnessed the boxing contest and its
end. He felt further substantiated in
the opinion that the brain was not in
any manner injured. by tho symptoms
of the patient to whom he ministered

Agreements entered into at the con-
iercnces between the miners and op-
orators have been continuous from enc
of the fling OF the indictment. it
Is said
Fictitious Prices.
Creation of high and fictitious mar
ket prices for coal was brought about
by tho operators, according to the in
cictment, by an agreement. following
suspension OF the national fuel regu-
lations in February. 1919, not to con-
tract for the future delivery OF coai
ana not to sell coal unless they were
bic to obtain a price equal to or above
the price that had been fixed by the
national fuel administration. Another
charge Is made that the operators by
n concerted plan made various reports
to the mine bureaus of the several
states and to the government that
there was no market for coal and that
this plan caused the price to increase
until 1t was higher than the prices
fixed and maintained by the national
fuel administration prior to its sus-
pension.
National Coal Association.
Regarding the activities of the Ma
tional Coal association. the Indictment
charges that this organization is en-
gagged in marking out zones into which
coal may be shipped. and that reports
on production and prices in each zone
enabled operators to govern the sup
ply and price OF fuel.
Tho Indictment charges that in the
plan to Increase the price OF coal. the
operators refused to sell fuel to any
one not n member OF the Retail Coal
Dealers association, and allied organ
izatlons, and that they refused to sell
coal TO any one for purposes beyond
tneir Immediate needs. thus prevent
ing the storage OF coal for future use.
Another plan for in creasing fuel
prices, 1T is charged. was To sell II
thru sales agencies which were sep
nratc in name only from the opera tiny
ana producing companies.
Profits were thereby increased, the
indictment says.
The operators also created the spot
market, the indictment charges, by
agreeing to sell coal only for imne-
aiatc delivery at prices agreed upon
at the time of delivery. In carrying
oGt their plan to cause n scarcity OF
coal. the grand jury said the opera
tors published broadcast during isfo
articles pointing out that there was a

SPLIT IN G. 0. P.
MAY FOLLOW
ROW BETWEEN PRESIDENT AND
AND SENATORS OVER
APPOINTMENTS.

Washington, June 15th.-Senators
Lodge, of Massachusetts,, the Repub-
lican leader, and Willis, ofeEio, who
nominated President Harding at Chi
cago, are on the war path over some
of the recent appointments made by
the President.
Senator Lodge has expressed open
dissatisfaction with the nomination of
Prof. julius Klein, of Harvard Uni
versity, to be director of the Bureau
of Foreign and Domestic Commence,
and at his request the Senate COM
merce committee deferred action to-
day on the nomination until tomorrow
when an executive hearing is expect
ed. Prof. Klein was chosen by Sec
retary Hoover and it was reported
today that the President had sent the
nomination to the Senate without
consulting the Republican leader.
Senator Willis is continuing his op-
position to the appointment of Charles
H. Nauts, of Toledo, to be collector
of internal revenue for the Tenth Ohio
District. Both he and Senator Lodge
were White House callers today, but
neither saw the President. On leav-
ing the White House Senator Willis
declared that he would oppose Mr..
Nauts to the end.
The Ohio Senator inquired today
how confirmation of Mr.. Nauts might
be blocked and was informed that
if he regarded Mr.. Nauts as "person-
ally Objectionable" the Senate would
follow a time honored custom Of re-
fusing confirmation. Senator Willis
has filed a memorandum against Mr..
Nauts with the Senate finance COM
mittee, which expects to take up the
case Monday. 1t is to hear Senator
Willis, the nominee and Walter F.
Brown, the Presidents representative
on the Departmental reorganization
committee, who is understood to have
recommended Mr.. Nauts.
Another patronage row reported
brewing is over the nomination of
Frank A. Linney, Republican State
chairman of North Carolina, to FEEDER
al District attorney for that state.
He was endorsed by North Carolina
Republican leaders but is encounter
ing opposition from Influential Sen
ators close to the administration, be-
cause of an alleged letter opposing
voting last November by negroes.
These and other patronage troubles
were said to be the cause of some
friction between the capitol and
White House, but Republican leaders
were confident that no serious re-
suits were probable. Several of the
patronage rows were said to have
been charged 10 Attorney Genera!
Daughtey, who recently had a clash
with Senator Frelinghuysen, Repuo-
lican, New Jersey, over encourage
ment given to a New Jersey man
whom Senator Frelinghuysen oppos-
ed. This is said to have been ironed
out, however.
James NJ. Beck, of New Jersey,
nominated today for solicitor general
was said to have been selected with
out prior reference to the New Jer-
sey senators, but Attorney General
Daugherty wrote a letter which was
understood to have satisfied them. Mr..
Beck, it was said, would be supported
generally by the Republican member
ship, although some were disposed to
criticize his connections with litiga-
tion aginst labor leaders.
