IN the days when Conversation Circulation" statements were the basis on which the advertiser bought space, the advertising solicitor who put up his story in the most pleasing manner general ly got the business.
 In case the advertiser questioned the figures he might possibly go to the newspaper office and look over the circulation records with his own auditors. But neither he nor his auditors know the intrica- cies of newspaper circulation rec ords or the possibilities for jug gling figures.
 Circulation differences and argu- ments caused bitter battles be- tween many newspapers. Ingen- ious schemes were used by un- scrupulous publishers to put up the appearance of larger circulation than they had. The prevalence of these practices brought out the necessity for a reputable agency to audit and report on circulation matters.

 is Accused.
 Charleston. W. Va. April i4.-- While defendants and attorneys in the numerous criminal cases resulting from a march of some 5000 miners against Logan and Mingo counties in today to go to Charles Town for the resumption next week of hearing in these cases, the situation had taken a new turn today with the indictment of the miners chief counsel, Harold w. Houston.
 The returning of the indictment by new grand jury in Logan county was announced last night with 20 others against men alleged to have taken part in the march.
 Prosecuting Attorney John Chain of Logan issued a statement in which he declared 1t had long been sus- pected that a legal mind had shared in direction of the march and that re- cent arrests of "lieutenants" who fled the state when criminal actions were begun had furnished evidence on which the indictment was returned.
 A statement by T. c. Townsend, as- sociated with Houston as counsel for Ihe defense in the march" trials, de- clared his belief that there was mot } scintiiia of evidence to justify the in- dictment" and that 1t was fin further ance of the campaign of persecution ,n the part of Logan county authori- ies against the union."
 The other men indicted last night | were mostly miners living in Boone md Kanawha counties. where the march started.
