By the Associated Press. W YORK, March 2.— Arraign- ment of seventy-four cement corpor-’ ations and forty-two individuals, members of an alleged ‘“cement trust,” indicted yesterday by a fed- eral grand jury here on a charge of violation of the Sherman anti-trust law, will be made at a date to be decided in conference by defendant! counsel and special prosecutors, it was announced today. Notification of the grand jury action was sent to the indicted corporations and in- dividuals. The indictment was the result of Lan exi secret investigation conducted pecial Assistant United ates Disirict Attorneys William Rand and lsador Kressel, who were | appointed by Attorney ¢ to prosecute vi laws in the building trades. appointment followed dis- closures made by the Lockwood leg- islative commitiee, which tailed to conduct an inve: into an alleged “building trust Two counts were in the indictment —one alleging restraint of trade, and the other monopolies and attempts to monopolize.

If, by chance, a builder should have more than his requireme and should attempt to the surplus on any other work ¢ effectual methods are employed ent him from doing so.” building industry is always kept cement-hungry,” the indictments continue. “Price raising is never em- barrassed by a surplus supply of ce- ment on the market, for no cement can ever be found except in the man- ufacturers' bins or probably a weak supply in the hands of a dealer.” cement dealers, who are not allowed ceeding fifteen days, the indictments Ichnrge Excluded From Trade. It is government's contention, Mr. | Rand said, that the combination’ “has {so effectually maintained uniformity {of prices, divided territories, limited output and regulated the class and character of customers who might buy cement, and the purpose to which General | Similar tactics were employed with || to contract for a future period ex- || cement might be applied, as in effect to exclude cement from the ordinary channels of trade and commerce.” “In fact,” he said, “as the term is used under ordinary competitive con- ditions, cement is no longer an item of barter and sale, sold freely in the market, but instead is controlled by the manufacturers up to the moment it is actually employed in construc- tion work.” —_— INCIDENT OF LINCOLN’S FIRST INAUGURATION ‘Writer Tells of Warning Shouted From a Tree Top by a South- ern Sympathizer. To the Editor of The Star: I read from time to time articles In the newspapers. written by some one who witnesseq_the sccond inanguration of Abraham Lincoln. In the Sunday Star of February 6. I read an interest- ing article by Representative Isaac R Sherwood telling of his presence in tho crowd in front of the inaugural stand on_that occasion. = The writer of this article was four- teen years old at that time, but was in the crowd with Gen. Sherwood, ang I suppose rubbed elbows with him. 1 remember the crowd wasn't very great in those days at a presidential inaugu- ration, and not to be compared to the crowds who attend such ceremonies nowadays. But, since I read Mr. Sher- wood's article T feel proud to know and feel that I was in such distin- guished company. But let me go back four years, to Abraham Lin- coln’s first inauguration. Where are all that crowd that stood in front of the inaugural stand waiting to see and hear President Lincoln? I won- der if there are many of them alive today. 1 do not think there are many I don’t remember if there were any Washington boys there, but 1 know that I followed a band of music all over. town that Capitol to take part in the cere- monies. 1 was ten years old at the time and I edged my way through the crowd and secured a good posi- tion up close, where I could hear and see all that might happen. 1 knew pretty near every one in the crowd at the time, because in those days the population of Washington wasn't like what it is now. I wanted had to ay before that band ‘of music the White House. 1 could walk be- side the: kettle drumen of that hand as long as I could see. It was my greatest delight to watch him beating on that sheepskin. About 9:30 orl thereabout, the people began to gather' up close, and by the time my band got there the crowd began to ghow signs of excitement. - About this time an incident happen- ed which I have never seen publish- ed or mentioned by any person in writing of Abraham Lincoln. Every one was standing on tip-toe and stretching his neck to see what was going on. Just as the President was expected to come out, and people on the Capitol steps began clearing away, there came a shout from the top of a large oak tree that stood about fifty feet or so from the stand, There was an old man in the top of the tree shouting. I cannot remember half of what he said, but it was a warning: to the people of the north lof the dreadful calamity that would follow the advent of the incoming administration. The old man spoke {in favor of the south,.which aroused the anger of the crowd, who com- manded him to come down. The old man continued to shout his warnings whe some of the Capitol police s, which they got from bia Fire Company, close by, and bega chopping down the tree. When the old man’realized what the crowd below was doing, he shouted that he would come down, which he did. Upon reaching the ground, after a ladder was set up against the tree,} the old man was placed under arrest ang placed in a room in the basement of “the Capitol. I never heard what was done with him after that. It was supposed that the old fellow climbed the tree early in the morning with the assistance of a friend, and using it ladder, which was fmmediately car- ried away. Excitement was’ very | Breat after that. Everybody was talk- ing of war. ¥. B. DURKIN. NAVY AVIATORS WARNED. Must Not Fly Over Foreign Terri- tory and Cause Alarm.
