FEDERAL COAL TRIAL DATE SET * FOR LATE FALL Anderson Overrules Motion and Orders Defendants in Court Nov. 8. The trial of bituminous col operators and miners charged with conspiracy to limit production and distribution of coa! will open in federal conrt N'ev. 8. The date was set following the overruling of a demurrer filed by Charles Evans Hughes, counsel for the officials of the United Mine Workers of America and attorneys for the operators, and the entering of pleas of not guilty by fiftyseven of the miners. The indictment on which the men will be tried charges the operators and miners ulth conspiracy to limit production and distribution of coal in order to enhance the price thereof, under section 9 of the Lever law. as alleged by the first, second, third, fourth and seventeenth counts. The indictment was returned by a special federal grand jury March H as a result of an investigation into the mining operations. MICHES ATTACKS SECTION 9 OF ACT. The argument on the demurrer to the Indictment was begun immediately after the rnitng on the motion to qnasb. Mr. Hughes contended that section 3 of the Lever act did not apply, but was superseded by the action of the president In regulating the fnel industry under the powers granted to him by section 25 of the act. It was held by the defense. Mr. Hnghes stated, that during the regulation of the coal industry under section 25, the general statutes, section 9, did not apply, but was overruled by section 25, wihch provides its own penalties. He said that it was impossible to read section 9 int*> section 25 which, he said, contained a complete penal code in regard to the carrying out of its own rules. The argument for the government was made by Dan W. Simms, assistant United States attorney general, who said that the rule as to general and specific •tatntes did not apply In the case In question, because nothing In section 25 or the fuel administration regulations covers or relates to anything to which reference is made in section 9. In reply to Mr. Simms. Mr. Hughes •aid that the counsel for the government had advocated an extraordinary theory when be Invited the defendants "to go into their closets and search their consciences to see if they could discover whether or not they were guilty of corrupt practices.” In referring to Section 25 Mr. Hughes said that if the men bad done what the president had required of rhem under Section 25 they could not be proaecuted tinder the provisions of Section 9. In ruling on the demurrer two principal objections were pointed out by Judge Anderson. He said that the section said that: ••When any one conspires,” and that, he held. does not mean that if is necessary for the defendant to be engaged in the coal industry. He held that the Indictment does not have to allege that the defendants are engaged in the coal Industry and that Section 9 is not superseded, repealed or abated by Section 25. In handing down the ruling Jndg® Anderson said it was his opinion that the United States has a “big Job on tb®ir hands.” when they undertake to convict bituminous coal miners and operators. Exceptions were taken by the defense when the demurrer was overruled and Mr. Hughes moved that the government be compelled to elect between counts one and seventeen, bolding they were the same, but the motion was overruled by the conrt, * * Mr. Hughes again moved that the government be compelled to elect between counts one. two. three and four of the Indictment, but the motion was overruled and exceptions were granted. Charles W. Miller, after two attempts to file a bill of particulars, was granted permission by the court to file the bill. Dan W. Simms, <-ounsel for the government, said that it was not the rule of the government to allow the filing of a bill of particulars, but Mr. Miller said that this court had granted that premts■lon heretofore and that he intended pressing the matter.

They Always Do in Indianapolis! Editor The Times —I was riding on the rear platform of a northbound Illinois car the other day. Two blind boys were my fellow passengers. One of the afflicted ones left the car at Ohio street. A stream of automobiles was going past and the blind boy stood In the safety zone waiting for a chance to reach the sidewalk. His erstwhile companion, hearing the hum of the motors, asked a man standing beside him: "Can he get through the automobiles all right?” Just then a man in the safety zone took the blind boy by the arm and guided him to the sidewalk. The passenger addressed by the the boy on the rear platform answered : "Yes. a man is helping him cross.” "Yes." the blind boy said. “they always do in Indianapolis." "The most courteous city in the world ?” Os course. Sincerely. INTERESTED CITIZEN.

The telegram sent by Mr. McCardle follows: "Complaints to this commission from grain shippers on accouut of taking grain cars from here to other states are serious. "Considerable grain stored ready for movement. "Grain getting out of condition on account of germinating season. “Farmer's deliveries are increasing, which, under present condition*, will cease.

Bandit Villa Now Only Barrier Between U. S. and Mexican Rebels WASHINGTON, May 27. —The Mexican revolution has withstood the first severe shocks of the forces of disintegration, in the *interpretation of officials here, and formal recognition of the de facto government, is now merely a matter of days. *

Informal negotiations with that end in view already have been undertaken, it was learned today, and It is hinted that recognition might now be an accomplished fact but for the uncertainty surrounding the attitude of Francisco Villa, that perennial fly in the ointment of Mexican politics. The course of revolution never did run smooth, and though this latest development in governmental rotation in Mexico has been characterized by an unwonted sanity, moderation and orderliness of progress, the movement has nevertheless suffered its ups and downs and has caused the United States department of state some anxious moments. That Carranza, with his alleged antiAmerican Intrigues, had long been a white elephant on the hands of this government, no one attempts seriously to deny, and that a sigh of relief went up from official Washington when news came of his flight from Mexico City, is known to all who took the pains to cock an attentive ear in that direction during the period in question. Diplomats told themselves that the situation ■ was vastly clarified. The bewliiskered first chief was a fugitive and rebel leaders iutuuated everything would be done to get him safety and expeditiously out of the country. VILLA IN REVOLT AGAINST NEW CHIEF MEXICO CITY. May 27.—Reports that Francisco Villa, the most powerful rebel chief in northern Mexico, is in open revolt agninst the new Mexican government were confirmed by official advices received here today A price has been set upon Villa's head. Manuel Gameros. provisional governor of the state of Chihauhau, has offered a reward of 100,000 pesos for Villa, dead or alive. REPORT 35 KILLED IN MEXICAN RIOT SAN ANTONIO, Tex.. May 27. Thirtyfive civilians were killed in street Hating at Mexico City yesterday when a mob tried to rush the doors of the chamber of deputies The crowd was dispersed oniy after several rifle volleys had been fired into it. Unconfirmed reports containing this information were received hr military authorities here today. No Information as to why the mob wished to gain entrance tn congress was given tn the reports.

A highly efficient stomach medicine that contains also good things for the nerves, blood, Ttidney&'ffnd bowels. Thousands lack sufficient vital force and don’t know why. They think they need a tonic, a vacation or a change of scenery, but they don’t. Ten to one the underlying source of all the trouble lies in the stomach or vital organs affected by it and a six days’ test of Dreco ought to prove it in almost any case. v Was Sick and All Run Down. Mrs. Mary 1,. Simmons, of -Cumberland. Md„ finds herself “anew woman” In the best sense of the word.

WOOD DOESN’T RUN MONEY END? (Continued From Page One.) Senator Sutberlnad has n o chance wo will all vote for Gen. Wood,” Darst said. "Do yon think Senator Sutherland has a chance of being nominated?” asked Reed, democrat, of Missouri. “Not any more than I have,” Darst said amid laughter. But for the expenditure “to get the facts to the people, Wood wouldn’t have hod a chance in West Virgiina,” Darst said. Darst estimated SI,OOO a county wasn’t an unreasonable sum in the “WoDd campaign of education.” in West Virginia. “You can’t get men in these days of high cost of living and of labor to go ont and work for a candidate unless you pay them money,” said Dorst. He denied any Wodd money was used in West Virginia to "buy votes for Wood.” Wood money was used in West Virginia to get men to "organize” counties and precincts, he said. Darst gave the total of Wood's campaign expenses in West Virginia up to date as $4,438.36. "We really needed more than that, $50,000 or $55,000 —$1,000 a county,” Darst said. H. M. Daugherty, manager of the presidential campaign of Senator Harding, republican of Ohio, was called when Darst concluded. "When Senator Harding’s candidacy for the presidency was decided upon he expressed a desire that there should not be a highly financed campaign conducted," Daugherty eald. “It was not expected that there would be any contest in Ohio. “Later on a contest was brought on. “We were compelled to make something of a campaign. “Indiana is a neighbor stnte. "Besides, under the laws of Indiana, any candidate receiving a majority of votes at the primary could hold the delegates to vote for him and away from any other candidate until the convention was over. “It was therefore more or less neces-

sary that practically all the candidates should enter Indiana. “In all of the other primary states we notified them that we would not enter the primaries on account of the expenses. “In states where there were no primaries we made something of a campaign of publicity, speaking and sending literature somewhat extensively. HOME TOWN PUT UP ABOUT A THIRD. “The neighbors of Senator Harding living in his home town of Matfion, contributed practically one-third of the amount expended in the senator's campaign. “Practically all of the balance was contributed by residents of the state of Ohio, in small amounts, comparatively speaking. “We have headquarters at Columbus, Washington, Indianapolis and Kansas City. “We had no auxiliary organizations collecting or distributing any money. “There is, perhaps, connected with the campaign expenditures in Ohio something over $35,000 which must be classified as general expenses, inasmuch as all the literature and campaign material furnished all the headquarters and sent out all over the United States was paid for through the Columbus headquarters. TOTAL AMOUNT PUT AT 5113.109.50. Contributions to Senator Harding's campaign up to date totaled $13,109.50, of which $107,709.88 had been expended, Daugherty said. Daugherty read a long typewritten list of SSOO and SI,OOO contributions to Harding’s campaign fund, many of them from citizens of Cleveland, Youngstown and other Ohio cities. On April 5 Senator Harding gave him a check for SI,OOO, Daugherty said. This was Harding's principal and only contribution, as he is “a man of moderate means and bis friends were willing to finance his campaign,” Daugherty added. H. S. Firestone, the rubber man of Akron. 0., gave SI,OOO. Other contributors to Harding’s campaign, given by Daugherty, were: Mrs. Anna Norton Batelle, J. H. Frantz and E. M. Poston, all of Columbus, SI,OOO each.
