INDICT THREE IN NEW YORK TRUST PROBE

Wrought Iron and Wrought Steel Industries Named Charge. in ADJOURN TILL MONDAY Legal OkirmiSllCS 31ark 1 rOceedings in Wednesday's Jlearings. NHW YORK, Nov. 24. New York's warfare against the alleged building tnm today brought forth three new indictments charging extortion, as well as testimony linking the wrought iron and wrought steel industries to the long list of other producers of construction materials which are alleged unlawfully to hold prices uniform throughout the country. While tho allied forces of an extraordinary grand jury and the joint legislative committee made this progress in their major offensives, legal skirmishes occurred in two counts, and the city's independent inquiry into its millions of dollars in contracts was postponed until Monday. IccIUo Defeats. Twice during the dy the joint legislative committee was diverted from its investigation to defend itself against onslaughts in the courts. The committee was victorious in both occasions. Ded.-ive defeat marked the efforts of the builders' material bureau in both the supreme and appellate 1 courts to restrain the committee from getting hold of its books and from examining its stenographer, Klizabeth O'De.t. Two injunctions were secured by counsel for the bureau, but were quickly vacated, and later in the day an application for a stay was denied. Then counsel lor the bureau agreed to produce the books and papers under the subpoena, and to hae an o Hirer of the bureau on hand to testify. Miss O'Dea already had been adjudged in contempt by the committee for failing to answer a summons. Hoben F. Iirindell, president of ; the Fuilding Thades Council, and! alleged "king" of building trades workmen in th' metropolis. w:is named in two of. today's indictments, both charging extortion. The ther indictme'Us also charging exertion was against HrindaH":' chief of staff." Feter Ftadtmiller. i member of the building trades 'U!U il. Nigh Fail. Startmiller's bail was fixed at He'Vv'IK'. Frindell, already tin lor $lee,(i(o bail on previous indict-m'-nts one cliargtng extortion and the otroi- attempted extortion was not required to furnish addition il bail, but it was intimated hmight be called on to do sO Friday. Charges against Frindell alleged that he force d L. uis J. Coohen. a building contractor, to pay him i s jOO under threat of stopping WOI'K nn n construction ioh last Ju. StadtmilbT was accused of rxtort-!nL-Siao'O from the Carden City Wreck im-- company by to out the firm out of threatening business in case of refusal. His counsel vigorously protested the high bail, saying Stadtmiller was a "poor man on a $75 week salary." but Judge Mulqueen said he understood the-ri? were t be other i indie t mcnts and that SfadtmiUcr was 1 Irinneil s mb-f of staff. "The bail should be the same, he said. "It is high but in, my opirion it is not hich enough." Ther he ordered both defendants to appear in court on Frid'iy. Testimony that three-fourths of the wrou'-ht p ' I trade in America is controlled by thee powerful corporations. maintaining prices 'usually absolutely uniform." and that tw groat manufacturing concerns dominate the entire wrought iron business with similar effect, touched the p'k of interest In the evidence which the day brought forth. Freviously the committee had heard witnesses siy that national associations regulate distribution and prices throughout the Fnited States in limestone, marble, sand and other building materials. jects set forth in the resolution, ccndemneu what he termed the government's policy of reprisals, which he said had driver, moderate nationalist opinion in I red ar.d "into an attitude, if not of sympathy with, at least of supine indifference to, anarchic action." The former premier declared there was only one way for escape,! and that th first step lay with thej government. This, he said. its to eliscontiraie the reprisals. He be-; Ileved, he said, that an overwhelm ing majority of the Irish people ar.d of the crown forces had no symrathy with reprisals.

The United States for tho Urst time in half a century has on hand sutticient artillery to equip a large sized army, Maj. William J. Snow, chief of held artillery, said in his annual report today. This is due to the largo quantities of guns, howitzers am", ammunition and other material left over from the war. "Should war unfortunately break out in the ne xt few years, we should be spared tiio spectacle of artillery drilling with improvised wooden guns, home made- telephones, rope harness and similar expedients which characterized the first year of the present war." Snow .said. I'rges Appropriations. Snow urged annual appropriations for an experimental program in artillery development by the ordnance department and the "field artillery. He pointed out that the design, test and perfection of a new weapon is a work of years and that this workmust be done in peace if the Fnit-(I States is to h ive the 1 st of weapons upon an outbreak of war. Snow reported four light regiments of artillery have been motorized as an experiment looking to possible substitution of motors f'T horses throughout the service. Snow also of the army praised the. stu rdiness mule, saying that the rime lost by these animals from other sickness and inlurv in the w ar 'St was on.y anout one-teriui that h by horses.
