they could open the matches, which

October 19.

Justice Hoehling of the District Su-
preme Court today set October 19 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 a grand
Juror. The disability compensation
for injury in the service does not
disdualify, Maj. Gordon contends.
