The evidence adduced in tne ; hearings of the civil suit was present ed to the grand Jury here by Edwin P. Grosvenor, special asistam to inn attorney general, and ' Indictments were handed down 'on 'December H, mo.'" !;";- It Is charged by "the 'federal 'official that as a result of a ten days' meeting j ' at Mount Clemens, Mich., in April. 1910. a fund of $7,000 was sufficient to set In motion a plan that resulted in giving to the defendants control of 16 manufacturers and nearly 400 jobbers. representing an output of approxi mately $10,000,000 a year. '" 1 The indictments charge that the de fendants competed, the., jobbers to en ter into uniform, contracts,' ,ahd! thac all the defendants refused to sell to any Jobber unless he would sign such a contract The government officials take the ground that the evidence' In In the civil Bult showed that the de fendants attempted to disguise their and licensing certain firms to use ,.nmbinalon bv the subterfuge of pur chasing the patents on certain tools ese.tools. Thn government places great weigh on the testimony of Edwin L. Way- man of Pittsburg, . who is described as the licenser of the alleged combi nation, and whose testimony in the civil suit has rendered him immune from being made a defendant in the criminal proceedings. The govern ment charges that Wayman obtalnea $7,000 from the People's State bank of notrnlt hv irlvlne 100 shares of the Standard Snnitary Manufacturing company as security; and that, in1 us ing this fund to purchase several pat ents, $5,000 went back to the Stand ard Manufacturing company for int ents thnt It Is alleged to have turned nver to the combination. The govern ment charges that Wayman collectoa tr. nBr furnace ner day from each of the 1G defendant firms, some of wh'ch had as many as SO furnaces, and that niter two months those firms that did not vlolnte the agreement were to re ceive a rebate ot 80 per cent of this contribution. Wayman's collections. It is alleged, ran as high as $700'per flnv Full plans for the defense of the firms and Individuals under Indict ment have been made at a conference , tii.nova interested in the litre ui nuwi'j- case. The attorneys appear satisfied that they will be able to put up a strong defense of the 'Indicted men.. They contend thnt the case hinges on the exact classification of the Arrott patent, for the use of which licenser, were issued to the 16 indicted firms, thus creating the alleged trust. T'.is points Involved being so finely tech nical, the attorneys say the defense still is surprised that the government attorneys talk of asking Jail sentenc- f,,r the indicted magnates if they succeed in convicting them of con spiring to restrain trade. The individual defendants who will be placed on trial are as follows: Theodore Ahrens. Francis J. Tor rance. E. U Dawes, and W. A. Hy!r. officers of the Standard Sanitary Man ufacturing company, of Pittsburg: C. Vnenele and T. R. Harm's, resi dent and secretary of the Barnei Man ufacturing company of Mansfiold. O.: Prank M.

This is the wail of Siajor "Archie" Butt, military aide to Presi dent Taft,- 'HI' is the saddest plight of all Washington diners becauBB of an unruly stomach, " backed up by a doctor's orders. ' ' Banquets, dinners, luncheons, teas and feeding "feBts" galore, Major Butt must attend and not eat a bite or drink a drop. It is his business, as sooial attendant of the president, to attend the functions, sometimes t"iree or four in an evening, With-all the rare viands and wines, offered, Major Butt is a total abstain er. He can't take a mouthful of the "grub" nor drink a drop of the au- clent vintages. Doctor's orders. For Major Butt has been sick s'.id is on a diet. It is a most austere d.et, too, and the major is sticking to it rlEorously. Because of his illness and operation for a nervous affection caus ed by poison resulting from r.ch vi ands, Major Butt eats only the plain est of food. Here Is the entire Butt bill of faro: White meat of chicken, without skin; dryest of dry toast; " potatoes without butter; no meat; no bever ages except water; a few vegetables, without butter; poached egsg, without condiments. As a result the major does not ban quet at banquets. His menu is not included at most Washington func tions, Washington, Feb. 5. (Special) Speculation is rife at the war depart ment as to whether an order, recently presented to Major General Leonard Wood, Instructing militia men to go to Fort Leavenworth. Kansas, for four months' course of instruction in what ever branch of the service they are engaged, will meet with the approval of the chie fof staff. Much opposition Is being made against the" order by West Pointers Kho maintain, that, the outcome . oi such a course would be that the pri vates would know more concerning their business than do their officers. The .supporters of the bill retort: "Then send the officers to the school, too." General Wood declines to make any statement concerning the order at the present time, saying that he has not had sufficient time to consider its pro visions and probable effect upon the army.
