ED OLIVER AMONG THOSE INDICTED

By Government Charged Wi|h Hoarding and Boosting the Supply of Onions in United States. Edward M. Oliver, former Newland onion king, giving his homeas Wauban, Wis., is among the eight-eight men indicted’by the United States government changed with conspiring to monopolize interstate commerce in onions. The indictments named 88 corporatioinfi and individuals and were preferred by the federal grand jury. The indictments, which were returned as a result of a nation wide inquiry into the cost of the food conducted last winter by United States Attorney George W. Anderson, of Boston, alleges that the defendants divided the territory of the country between them for the purpose of eliminating competition; that maximum prices were fixed for the purchase of onions, and that the supply was hoarded in order to increase prices. Mr. Anderson estimated that the annual crop of onions amounted to 200,000,000 pounds, three-fourths of which he said was alleged to have been controlled by the defendants. In a statement outlining the case, Mr. AnderSbn said: _ “The gist of the charge id"tls2CTtTie“ defendants have maintained a national onion association, Composed of large onion dealers who 'buy a bulk of the onions of the northern states during the early fall, storing them in warehouses owned or controlled by th - ; various members and putting them upon the market from September to April. The government charges that the association had a dominating and illegal control of the onion trade for the last three years. “The government expects to show that as early as September, 1916, at least seventy-five ner cent of the year’s crop, then harvested, was in control of the members of this association. ■ “For the 1916 crop the producers probably received less than 2 cents per pound. In midwinter many of these onions were sold to retailers and through them to consumers at 10 to 15 cents a pound.” Mr. Oliver has been in Chicago for the last year or so, where he now makes his residence and formerly cin‘trolled the onion land about Newland. Six other Indiana men were included in the list. Mr. Oliver has done a wonderful business an Wisconsin since engaging in the handling of onions in that section, and is recognized as one of the big onion dealers of the middle west. He has been rf'ck for the past several weeks.

Mad Dog Endangers Lives of Three At Newland.

Some two Mrs. Clarence Bowman, of Newland, was bitten by a tramp dog but nothing was thought of the matter at the time. Last Monda- the same dog bit the sons of George Bowman and O. L. Smith, also live near Newland. The dog acted peculiarly and he was killed and the head was sent to Indianapolis fur examination. Word was received Thursday that an examination of the dog’s head showed that he had rabies and it was urged that its victims Should be given the pasteur treatment at once. The men with their sons left for Indianapolis last night. Dr. C. E. Johnson, who has their cases in hand, went to Indianapolis this morning. The pasteur treatment is another reminder to the worid of its debt to the scientist. The treatment will without dotrbt relieve those who wer? bitten by the dog of a most horrible death.
