It is known that a number of what were regarded as inrportant cases have been pending under indictments found by Federal Grand Juries in this district, and prosecution of some was sald to have been deferred pending the United States Supreme Court's decision. The Gimbe!l Bros.’ trial was set for March 4. Others indicted here whose trials were deferred were Ar- mour & Co., the Colony Colliery Com- pany, Meeker Coal Company, Ma- deira-Hill Coal Company, Haddock Mining Company and other coal com- wholesalers and five packers oper- ating in Brooklyn—Armour, Swift, Cudahy, Morris and Wilson, In New York State alone about $500,000 has been collected in tines, Armin W. Riley, Special Assistant United States Attorney General, stated. Among those convicted here under the Lever Act were George and Hy- man Roth, jail sentences, and Abra- ham Lessing, convicted of hoarding sugar and sentenced to the Atlanta Penitentiary for two years. The Lessing case hag been appealed. Joseph \Nichthauser, a Brooklyn haberdusher, arrested in April, 1920, for profiteering, killed himself two days later. Attorney General A. N. Palmer an- nounced on Oct. 8, 1920, that there had been 2,000 prosecutions in the country under the Lever act to date, resulting in 182 convictions in which fines or Jail sentences were imposed. Up to that time there had been 1,584 indict- ments and 200 arrests. In a partial list of convictions given out by Attorney General Palmer's office May 10, 1920, since which date no similar list appears to have been given out, 1t was declared that “nore than half of the convictions wero un- der section 15, which prohibited the use of foods or food materials in the manufacture of intoxicating liquors.

DECISION TO FREE MANY LARGE FIRMS Persons Now Serving Terms in Prisons for Profiteering Likely to Be Released. WASHINGTON, March L—The far- reaching effects of the Supreme Court decision nullifying certain sections of the Lever Food Control act !s causing animated discussion here to-day. Legal experts are of the opinion that many indictments charging profiteer- ing will be dismissed and that among | [* them wili be those pending against Gimbel Brothers of New York and the Utah-Idaho Sugar Company with a host of others of less importance. At the sume time, it is believed, the Government will be forced to drop Sts investigation into the affairs.of the Cluett-Peabody Gompany. Further, it !s pointed out that a number of persons who are now in jail under sentence for profiteering will be released while others out and awaiting decision on appeals will go tree. So far as the suite against the coal miners and operators are concerned the impression is that they will not be in any way affected as the de- cision related solely to the profiteer- ing clauses of the act under consider- ation. The declaration of the court that vital sections of the statute were unconstitutional were based solely and flatly on their construction, it appeared from the opinion which was read by Chief Justice White, “The: tions do not constitute a of an ascert. to inform persons accused jons thereof of the nature Hotel Employees Held for Stealing Linen.
