SCHEDULES HEARING
IN COAL INDICTMENTS
Justice Hoehling to Hear Abate-
ment Plea of Merchants .
October 19.

Justice Hoehling of the District Su-
preme Court today set October 10 for
hearing arguments on. the plea in
abatement filed by the eleven coal
merchants of Washington, who Were
indicted in April 1921 for alleged
conspiracy to regulate the coal in
dustry here. United States Attorney
Gordon has filed an answer to the
plea. Attorney Leon Tobriner ap-
peared for the dealers in court today.
Counsel for the merchants claim
that a member of the grand jury
which reported the indictment was
in the pay of the United States and
so disqualified from serving on the
grand jury. The prosecution admits
that the grand juror in question was
receiving a disability pension from
the government, but had resigned his
employment in the government serv-
ice before being accepted as grand
Juror. The disability compensation
for injury in the service does not
disqualify, Mai. Gordon contends.

are patroling Stowe township, pre-
pared to meet any emergency that
might arise in consequence of the
action of self-appointed vigilance
committee" in ordering negroes from

instructions to see that no unlawful
methods were used to intimidate
negroes. and at the same time was
checking up on a number of negroes

ported as undesirable citizens.
r. L. Vann, a negro attorney, to-
day protested to Chief Braun against
the action of the vigilance commit

all law-abiding negroes Of the dis
trict would be protected.
No figures were available as to the
number of negroes who had left, but
w. J. Duff, chief of the township
police, reported that practically all
those warned to leave departed dur
ing the day. The negroes who left
were known as newcomers" most of
whom were employed in steel mills.

body's desperate efforts. The result
is that business Is being brought to

Reckoning in gold marks does not
help the situation 30 long as actual
nayment must be made in paper
marks. for such payment often loses
half it's value while a check is being
mailed from one firm to another. The
receiving firm may then demand
new remittance covering the loss
while the check is in transit, but the
same thing happens again. The re-

possible within the city, and not be-

The gravest fears are entertained
concerning the attitude of the peas
