All the Indictments were kept off the public record and both the office and district at- torney refused to discuss the indictments or the parties indicted. The Identity of the indicted individuals was thus left a matter of conjecture. It is expected that arrests will oceur to- morrow morning and that the Postoffice de- partment will have some znnouncement to make during the forenoon. The grand jury action probably marks the beginning of the end of the investigations that have beén in progress sice the middle of March. Volum- inous evidence has been laid before it as a result of the inquiry, and while the present | report of the jury disposes of most of the cases, there yet remains several to be passed upon. Washington Investigation Ended. When the latter are disposed of, accord- Ing to Postmaster Payne, the investigation o far as the work at Washington is con- corned, will be at an end for all prac- 1l purposes. Several of the persons in- dicted today live outside of Washington. They will be arrested as soon as bench JURY FINDS SEVEN BILLS| OMAHA MAN BADLY INJURED Caught by Falling Grandstand at Fort Which Injures Twenty-Four, Leavenworth LEAVENWORTH, Kan, Sept.

Many of those injured recefved broken legs. The stand was put up this morning onto it There was a heavy artillery duel with siege guns and three battallons of infantry were using black powder. Someone an- nounced that the cavalry were emerging from a ravine to charge. People on the grandstand jumped up to see them through the smoke and the stand went down with a crash. The utmost cenfusion followed. It was found that many were pinned down under the boards. Hundreds who were walking on the grounds rushed to the grandstand looking for relatives and the | confusion was indescribable until the reg- ular soldlers formed a line and kept all back not injured or caring for those in- jured. The battle, which was*at its helght on the opposite side of the road, was called off at once, and the soldlers, acting under direction of their officers, began, taking care of the injured convey Ambulances were used to people to the city hospitals, and | within an hour after the aceident the in- jured had all been removed.

Fraser | in common pleas court today heard argu- ments in the mandamus proceedings of the Clyde Coal Company against the Pittsbury | & Lake Erle Rallroad Company. The case is of vital interest to manufacturers and | others who ship their productions by rail and never before in this state and, as far as can be ascertained, in this country, has the same question arisen. It is merely the question of whether a corporation can | compel a rallroad corperation to furnish | sufficlent cars to carry on its Industry. Many questions of law were submitted to | Judge Fraser today, after which the court took the papers. The prayer of the petitioner is that the rallroad company be required to furnish | it with cars as rapidly as its demands may | require and promptly meet all calls for cars, and it it cannot meet all calls for | cars it shall furnish them ratably and | fairly to the Clyde Coal company. The defense contended that the demand for cars is largely In excess of the ablility of the company to furnish, and if the plain- tff company be supplied as s asked in the petition, this must be done to the detriment of other shippers, and finally, a | complete demoralization of the lines of the Lake Erie company.

There was the mere allegation that they were acting for the Tobacco trust. The vice chancellor said that Ge justified as & man and a gentleman in sell- Ing his stock. ‘I think,”" he added, “you are hard pressed to make such an argument.” After McCarter had concluded his argu- ment Wheeler H. Peckham followed for the defendants, speaking against the mo- tion.

The court named Frank P. McDermott of Jersey City as a master in chancery to attend to the accounting. BAD WRECK ON THE °FRISCO of Them May Die.

Governor Charles N. Herreld warmly welcomed the delegates and visitors on behalf of the sta and Mayor McDonald welcomed them to the clty of Deadwood. Responses were made on behalf of the mining congress by Presl- dent Richards and several delegates. Re- cess was then taken until 2:30 p. m., at which time President Richards delivered his annual address.’ He sald in part: Duty of Congress. The ultimate alm of the organization must be to place the mining industry us a whole upon a plane commensurate with its im- portance, The congress must arouse so much inter- est throughout the whole country, must bs the ns of giving the public 'so much valuable informatien about mining, that the people will at least realize the importance and dignity of everything connecied with the proper development &nd ulltization of this great source of raw material: It be the means of finally opening the ey the lawmakers to the necessity of a depart- ment of mines and mining co-ordinate in nk with the Department of Agriculture and the recently created Department of C'ynmnrcu and Labor.

Extennive Distriets Yet Undevelbpe Many extensive districts are still unde- veloped, because the ore Is too low {rldfl or too refractory to be worked with profit These problems will be solved, the neces- ary processes and {reatment will be dis overed and in all probability this il { done by scientific experts in the employ private capitalists, who will thereby be en- &bled to tax such mining districts at wili for years to come. I do not decry the enterprise of private pital; It is worthy of its reward. But [ mply” esk, Why should net these seniches and fnvestigations n the mining, as well as in agriculture an culture, 'be prosecuted at the g'nh pense Ly the people and for the peo, the results achieved be made free people forever? Shaw Center of Interest. Interest centered in the address of Hon Leslie M. Shaw, seoretury of the treasu who, however, did not speak until toward the close of the afterngon session. The secrelary was glven a warm welcome b) the delegntes, who frequontly applauded his statements and, when he finished speak- ing, gave him a rising vote of thanks and three rousing cheers. The congress also unanimously elected him an honorary member and appointed a committes of three to draft resolutions thanking President Rogsevelt for his rec ognition of the congress in scnding Becre- tary Shaw to represent him before it. An engrossed copy will be sent to the presi- dent. | According to announcement, the secretary !was to address the congress on the sub- ject of “The Mining Industry and Its Re- lation to American Finances,” He sald he wished to correct an impression that he was to deliver such an address, hecause he really didn’t know anything about mining. but he thought that if we learned nothing else we vhould learn that in the diversity of our fnterests lald the greatest success.

Alluding to that portion of President Richards' address In which he urged ths creation of a department of mines and mining, Secretary Shaw said he was heart- fly In favor of the government doing every- thing It can, short of paternalism, in sup port of the mining Industry of the country. He would not, however, have the gentlemen | of this congress go away with the idea {hat he advocated the formation of a special | department for mining, with representa- | tion in the cabinet, but suggested that | needs could fully and properly be at- tended (o through & bureau, which should torm part of the Department of Commerce and Labor, pointing out ho wother impor- tant industries are to be taken care of in the same manner. He then said in part: It is an error to rate the importance of our many industries according to thelr rela- tive productiveness. Ouri factories and workshops produced $12.000,000.000 gross in . agriculture, sLo00000000; forestry, 82,000 000,000, and ‘mines, $1,000.000,000, about equally divided between metallic and non- metallic products.
