CINCINNATI, O., Feb. 17.—The tirst blow struck by the United States against alleged “night riders” was delivered today, when a federal grand jury at Covington, Ky., re- turned Indictments against twelve men of Dry Ridge, Ky., for conspiracy in restraint of trade. One of the men Indicted is John 8. Steers, a member of the state legisi ture. The Indictments charge that the de- tendants conspired to prevent W. T. Os- borne from shipping four hogsheads of tobacco from Dry Ridge to Cincinnati. They are charged with having Intimidated by threats of violence both Osborne and the station agent at Dry Ridge, Three counts were returned, but they differ merely tech nieally. WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.—The offense on which the night rider indictments are based are characterized as one of the most literal examples of restraint in trade that has ever come to the attention of, the federal legal depertment. Wade H. Ellis, assistant attorney general in charge of the prosecution made this statement concerning the contemplated prosecution: “It developed at a recent hearing of the officers and representatives of the Burley Tobacco soclety in Washington that the chlef grievance against the soclety or any of Its members were the acts of violence, depredation and foralble oppositioii to the shipment of tobacco to points outside the state by independent growers, who refused to join the soclety. The oficers of the soclety disavow any responsibility for the acts of these nignt riders and the govern- ment determined to select what seemed to be a clear case of the physical prevention of interstate shipments of tobacco and to prosecute under the criminal sections of the Sherman act, the individual perpe- trators. 1t is the hope that if the prosecution suc- ceeds it will put an end to the acts of law- essness and intimidation. The action taken by the government s not against the | tunded [S. JACKSON HEADS LUMBERMEN Burley soclety itself as an organization in restraint of trade.” The men Indicted are John 8. Steers, a member of the Kentucy legislature; Perry Simpson, A. Gus Webb, Jerry S. Carter, Hugh Lee Conrad, Frank K. Conrad. R. Lee Conrad, John W. Callender, John Cald- well, Wiilllam Mulligan, Marion Bennett, | Isaac Newton Conrad. PILES CURED IN 6 TO 14 DAYS.

SEVENTY-FOUR MEN EXAMINED Only Opening Address of Trinl Made and First Witness Will Take Stand This Morning—Mr: Philips Subpoenned. Jim Philips' fate will be decided by a Jury of comparatively young men who were finglly accepted In the murder case yes- terday afternoon following a two days' examination of venire and talesmen. Seventy-four men were quizzed by the aftorneys on each side in district court be- fore twelve acceptable to both were found. The defense then had left six peremptory chadlenges and the state had used its six. Forty-four men were challenged for cause, most of these because they had a prejudice against capital punishment and a few be- cause they had fixed opinions about the gullt or innocence of the man who called out Marsh Hamilton from his cabin by the sawmill near Florence and shot him dead. Nine of the twelve men accepted for the jury were picked up by Sheriff Bralley yes- terday, the regular venire haying been ex- hausted. Of this regular venire only three men quaffied. The twelve who constitute the jury are these: Dennis Cushing, 2%2 Q street, Omaha. I H. McNiel, 1210 South Tenth street. South J. 8. Anderson, 608 North Forty-tirst street, L. H. Horner, 3110 South Thirty-fourth stieet. J. C. Byram, 4112 North Twenty-eighth street. C. O. Dodendorf, 4214 North Twenty-fourth stieet. T, H. McCormick, Chicago street. H. D.

State’s Cume Not Lenuthy. Following the acceptance of the last man, the County Attorney English outlined ate's case. This, he asserted, will comp: but a small ground and occupy but a little time in the glving of eyidence. Mr, Eng- | lish narrated the principal facts of the | shooting, which are those brought out at | the inquest and in the preliminary exam- ination of Philips in county. court. | Then H. B. Fleharty for the defense tried to get an extension of the defendant’s opehing address until the state had rested | its case in chief. The privilege was denied | him by udge Estelle as not warranted by | statute. Fleharty took an exception and walved opening address at the time. The first witness will be called by the state this morning. He will be Charles Pate, who was In the house with Hamilton | when Philips called him to the door. The jury was not locked up last night, but will be hereatter. Next to the defendant, himself, Mrs. Mabel Philips, wife of Jim Philips, con- tinues to be the chief subject of interest in the murder trial, The defense sprang a surprise Thursday when it had a subpoena issued for Mrs. Philips. It had not been expected that this side would call her, because her feelings are known not to be overly friendly to her husband. It Is possible that the state will also call her to the stand.
