Indictments against f orty-ronr combines, corporations and individuals were returned yesterday. Although held not responsible for the present high price and scarcity of coal in Chicago and Cook county, twenty-seven fuel companies and seventeen dealers and operators were indicted by the special grand jury for conspiring to do injury to the public by entering into combinations in restraint of trade. But this combination had nothing to do with the short age of coal, the cause of which the grand jury was empaneled to discover. Jut Happened on the Wickedness. In a long it port presented to Judge McEwen in the criminal court yesterday afternoon the members of the panel gave the result of their Investlga tion of coal conditions, declaring that the law of supply and demand was alone responsible for the lack of fuel, amf that the combination and agreements of western coal men had naught to do with the trouble. But, they explained, their inquiry . disclosed to them the fact that the men and the trKrations whose business had been under their scrutiny were organized In Illegal combines, violating theanti-trust statute and the law against conspiring to Injure public trade, and that these disclosures forced them to vote Indictments. Names of the Unfortunate. These are the men and firms who are charged with , the combinations: Acme Ccal Co.. Big Four-Wilmington Coal Co..

Philadelphia, Jan. 20. The examination of Colonel IL A. Philips, of Scranton, general superintendent of the mining department of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western. Railroad company, took up the greater, part of yesterday's session of the coal strike commission. Superintendent Philips told of the condition in and about the collieries owned by the Lackawanna company. Colonel Philips said he had no objection 'to the company's employes organizing their own tnlon, for collective bargaining. He thought they . had a right to organize, and 'he had no objection to their being affiliated with other labor organizations. He did not think It light for officials of the United Mine Workers to come In and make, the bargains for the men. He believed the employes of the Dela ware, Lackawannf. & Western company were capable of carrying on their own negotiations. In reply to Commission er Clark the witness said he person ally thought the men could bring In a third party ,to arbitrate In case the employes and the company . failed to agree on some disputed points. If the company brought in an outside person to plead its case he thought the men bad an undoubted , right to do the came. Colonel Philips said that the mini mum wages Inside laborers, T?ho require no skill, is $1.77 a day, and $1.33 for outside laborers. ' "That's pretty good. remarked D ar row, "wish all companies paid that.' Just as the witness was about to leave the stand W. W. Ross, of New York, of counsel for the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western company. csked him If his testimony regarding the right of calling in an Arbitrator 7zs not only his personal views, and that if he were cs-ed to give It odcisl ly he would have to rst consult with t-a predisnt cf ths company.

VALUATION OF A VOTE

Offer of 05,000 to a Representative by a Submarine Torpedo Boat Man. HEAVY SHOOK 102. A COMMITTEE Which Orders an Investigation Trou Me Ia Brewing on the Isle of Pines. Washington, Jan. 21. A sub-committee of the house committee naval affairs is Investigating the charge that Representative Lessler, of New York, one of the members of the naval committee, had been approachrvl with a bribe of $3,000 for his support of a proposition looking to an appropriation for additional sub-marine torpedo boats, with a view to ascertaining whether there Is sufficient warrant for the committee to ask the house to order a regular Investigation of the matter. The sensational charg was made by Lessler himself at a meeting of the naval affairs committee yesterday afternoon. Charge Too Serious to Isjnore. The question of the Holland torpedo boats was up and Lessler, who was opposing the authorization of additional boats, told the committee that he had been approached with a bribe. His statement startled the committee, and several members, among them Butler of Pennsylvania and Roberts of Massachusetts, immediately suggested that so serious a charge should be Investigated immediately. After some discussion Wheeler of Kentucky offered a resolution, which was adopted, to appoint a sub-committee to investigate at once and to report to the full committee. Committee Appointed to Inquire. The following sub-committee was appointed: Foss of Illinois, chairman cf the naval committee; Butler of Pennsylvania, Taylor of Ohio, Wheeler of Kentucky, and Rlxey of Virginia. The sub-committee forthwith enterea on its work and during the afternoon heard Lessler's complete story. The sub-committee will summon other witnesses. Its proceedings are secret and the members of both the full and subcommittee have bound themselves not to speak of the matter pending the report of the sub-coinin;ttee. How definite and specific Les?ler's charge is, therefore, is not known. HOPE FOB CCOAN RECIPROCITY Cullom Sure the Treaty Will Win Trou ble About the Isle of Pines. Washington, Jan. 21 Cudom, chairman of the. senate committee on foreign relations, had a conference with the president yesterday concerning the pending Cuban reciprocity treaty. That the treaty will be ratified Cullom fully believes, in common with other Republican senators; but it is realized by the senate leaders that there Is some disposition to oppose the treaty with the omnibus statehood bill. Advocates of the statehood measure are willing to support the treaty, but they want a vote on their measure, and are Inclined to effect an arrangement Involving a vote at an early date on both propositions. Another difficulty has arisen In Cuba. A telegram from Havana explains it as follows: "The United Statesans residing In the Isle of Pities deny the general assumption of the Cuban government that the United States has no special interest in the island and that it Is not likely to insist on the eventual ownership of it. In any event they seem confident of having the support of the United States, if necessary, in their resistance to being governed and taxed by Cuban officials pending, a settlement of the question of . the ownership of the island; . . . ."Recently the United Statesan resi dents of the Island unitedly notified the alcalde of the Isle of Pines and the Cuban government of their intention to resist by force, if necessary, the collection of taxes, or any assumption of authority over the island by the Cuban government The taxes are now falling due, and every United Statesan has pledged himself not to pay them. The desire of these men that the island be made United .States property is not purely sentimental, since as a Cuban possession It would receive no more than 20 per cent, tar iff preference. ' while as a territory of the. United States the Islanders hope for. freer trade with the United States. "The Cuban government while ac knowledging that the matter of the ownership of the island Is open holds that it has de facto control overi the island for the time being at least and that It therefore is authorized to levy taxes and perform other governmental functions." ; CALLS ITS A CQLOS3AI.

"Mr. Polk approved it and a Democratic senate ratified It Now, the gentleman whose party surrendered a territory in the north equal to eight states, and the empire of Texas In the south denounces as the crime of the century' the possible surrender of a narrow strip of territory way up at the COth parallel of latitude." Something of a stir was caused just before Cochran concluded. He was speaking of the "truckling policy of the United States to Great I ritain." When that "truckling" ceased, he declared, the people of Canada, now Intensely loyal' to England, would change their attitude. . "You lie, cried a stylishly dressed young woman, in clear, ringing tones. All eyes were turned to the ladies' gallery.

KNOX MAKES A SUGGESTION Would Rather Have Legal Ilelp in Ills Office Than $500,000 to Fleht Trusts.' Washington, Jan. 21. The appropriation committees of the senate and house have received .Identical letters from Attorney General Knox suggesting a change In the appropriation of $500,000 to be expended under the direction of the attorney general in the enforcement cf the Sherman anti-trust act and laws amendatory thereof. Instead of using this large amount In the employment of special counsel, etc:, to conduct proceedings under the antitrust act the attorney general suggests that an act be passed Increasing the permanent official force of the department of Justice. He recommends that authority be granted for the appointment of an assistant to the attorney general, a new office; one additional assistant attorney general, and two expert and confidential stenographers and typewriters. With this additional force Attorney 'Genoral Knox believes that a much smaller sum than $500,000 would be adequate for the purposes Intended and results in every way more satisfactory. Senate and House In Briet Washington, Jan. 21. The senate yesterday passed the legislative, executive and Judicial appropriation bill. Quay demanded an immediate vote on the statehood x bill, declaring that it was' being wilfully obstructed by discussion. Beveridge denied this, and then discussed the measure. An executive session was held. The house passed the District of Columbia appropriation bill, and subsequently began consideration of the Philippine coinage bill. The general debate on the district bill was largely devoted to discussion of the Alaska boundary line dispute, and was essentially partisan, and was enlivened by an English or Canadian woman in the gallery calling Cochran a liar when he uttered some anti-British sentiments. Much Money for Rural Delivery. Washington, Jan. 21. The postoffice appropriation bill as completed by the house committee carries $153,430,049, against $13S.41ß,50S under the current law.

Fairbanks Re-Elected oy the Sep ärate Votes of the Legislalative Chambers. TARKINGTON GIVES THE 8END-0PP Death of a Man Who Could Not Sleep Case That Looks Like Doable e Murder News Notes. Indianapolis, Jan. 21. The house and senate met yesterday in separate session and re-elected United States Senator Charles W. Fairbanks. The vote will be canvassed today in joint session. There was no opposition to Fairbanks. The nominating speech of the senate Republicans was made by Senator William A. Kittinger, of Anderson, joint caucus chairman. In the house Newton Booth Tarkington, the novelist made the nominating speech. He said In part: Tarking-ton's Theme Is "Greatness. "Mr. Speaker It is a truism that no word has been more misused than 'greatness. The specialist measures It; an entymologist calls Professor Staeffer the greatest man of the twentieth century; Frofessor Staeffer made a classification of butterflies; a chess player says that Steinetz is the greatest man of the century; at Yale they believe that Glass, the right guard, is much greater. Calls Democrats "Have Beens. Aud while I realize that such words as 'greatness' should find in the mouths of the discreet only the very rarest use, yt I hazard the declaration that there have been great Democrats. If the continuance by the people of the party in power is a witness to anything in the world and it surely Is it is an attestation to the fact that when present political faiths and conditions and the leopards' spots may change, you may not look to find political greatness in that tine sense of utility elsewhere than in the Republican party. Indiana Has Found Him. "Mr. Speaker, we of Indiana have looked and have found. For the Republicans of this state I have the honor to nominate for United States senator from Indiana for the term beginning March 4, 1903, the Hon. Charles Warren Fairbanks, of Indianapolis.
