Nebraska Congressman Says Progres
sives Are Being Wronged by Con
spiracy of Big Newspapers Echo of
Shotwell Incident.
Washington, July 7. Charges that
Charles l. Miles, secretary to the
president, is acting as the head of a
"political news bureau" which "sup-j
presses truth" and issues "ungrounded
and false" reports as to sentiment
concerning presidential candidates
were made in a letter from Represents
ative Norrls of Nebraska, insurgent
leader in the house, addressed to the
Nebraska Progressive Republican
league.
Representative Norris charged that
the "suppressed" facts relate to senti
ment favoring the candidacy of Sena
tor La Follette for the presidency.
Ills letter was in answer to tele
grams from the Nebraska progressives
declaring their repudiation of Frank
A. Shotwell. who, they say, had re
ported himself as n agent of the
league and as such had given out sev
eral statements favoring the renomi
nation of President Taft.
Mr. Norrla charged that thevpro'
gressives had been wronged by a "con
spiracy of great newspapers" in sup
pressing news relating to the progres
slve movement. After referring to a
series of articles printed, Mr. Norris
lotter concluded:
"These various articles have ear
marks that strongly indicate they orig
inated In the White House. I do not
think that the president himself dic
tated them and I do not know that he
had knowledge of them, but it Is gen
erally understood that the. Information
came from his private secretary and
almost wl'hout exception these objec
tionable articles contain Items of In
formation that necessarily must have
come from one closely connected with
the White House.
"I am reluctantly led to believe
that the president's private secretary
is the bend of a political news bureau
that is making n determined effort to
suppress any sentiment in favor of the
candidacy of Senator Ia Follette and
to do this by the suppression of truth
nnd the publication of ungrounded and
false reports."

Wickcrsham Discusses Recent Decis
ions of Supreme Court.
Rattle Creek, Mich., July 7 Attor
aey tleneral YVickershani spoke before
the Michigan State Bar association
here and discussed . the supreme
jourt's recent interpretation of the
Sherman anti-trust law in the Stand
ard Oil and tobacco cases. He gave
bis unqualified Indorsement to tue
court's application of the so called
"ruin of reason."
"Those who have thoughtlessly
yielded to the superficial conclusion
resulting from the application by the
chief Justice's rule of reason to the in
terpretation of the Sherman law," he
added, "can find but little to justify
the Idea that the Sherman law has
been made Ineffective by those two de
cisions, for precisely the contrary Is
established by those two great judg
ments. "The most cursory examination of
the decree in the tobacco case the
most casual consideration of the dras
tic and far-reaching remedy Imposed
makes It pevfectly apparent that the
Sherman law, perhaps for the first
time, has bcrn demonstrated to be an
actual effective weapon to the accom
plishment of the purpose for which it
was primarily enacted, namely, the
destruction of the great combinations
familiarly known as trusts.

Co-nplamt Charges That Railroad
Really Owns Coal Transported, Buy
ing It at Nominal Loss and Depend
ing Upon Profit From Freight.
Washington, July 7. The govern
ment will renew the fight to disasso
tiate the great coal-carrying railroads
trom their virtual control of mines and
thus vitalize the commodities clause
of the interstate commerce law. A
test case against the Lehigh Valley
railroad was filed in the United States
court in Philadelphia.
That the Lehigh Valley Railway
Coal company, Cox Bros., Inc.; the
New York and Middlefield Railroad
and Coal company and the Locust
Mountain Coal and Iron company are
not bonaftde coal companies, but mere
ly adjuncts to the Lehigh Valley rail
road and are "devices for evading the
commodities clause," is the govern
ment's principal complaint.
It is also alleged the Lehigh Valley
with the object of removing compe
tition, has caused the Lehigh Valley
Coal company to contract at a loss for
the output of other anthracite operat
ors, has transported the coal over its
own lines and through the coal com
pany has fixed the prices In New York
and other markets.
The government charges that al
though the buying of coal from other
operators hns been done at a loss to
the coal company, It has enabled the
Lehigh Valley railroad to transport
the coal over its lines and profit from
tho freight charges.
Coal Company a Dummy.
To support its claim that the coal
company is merely the "dummy," the
government, cites that the officers of
the railroad and the coal company are
the same nnd that certain members
of the directorate are members of the
directorate and executive committee
of the coal companies. Among those
named are: Eben B. Thomas, George
F. Baer, E. T. Stotesbury and James
A. Middleton.
The government's complaint also
said that since the capital stock of
the coal company had been owned by
the railroad It has paid no dividends,
that millions of dollars have been ad
vanced by the railroad to the coal
company which have never been re
funded and that the railroad has paid
the interest on the coal company's
bonds, being compensated, the govern
ment claims, by the earnings of trans
portation of coal over its lines. .
By proving that the Lehigh Vnlley
railroad is Actually the legal owner of
the Ti-hlgh Vnlley Coal company's
anthracite, or has a pecuniary interest
in it, the government hopes to bring
its case Into line with the recent de
cision of the supreme court in the
onimod'ty cliim-e case, strike down
dummy coal companies and force the
coal carrying railroads from their con
trol of miner..
Separate From Coal Case.
While in effect the government's ac
tion is a blow at the so called coal
trust, the case Is separate from that
suit, which is now on appeal to the
supreme court.
In the government's original com
modities clause ac tions against anthra
cite roads, which was begun In 1908,
the courts held that a railroad com
pany might own stock in a coal com
pany and not violate the commodities
clause If It 'I'd not own or have any
Interest In the transported coal of that
company.
With thnt decision the commodities
clause wns considered by many a dead
letter, hut Attorney General WW-
hanl carried the case to the supreme
court, whre it was decided thnt the
government might amend Its com
plaint and Involve the question of fact
ar to whether the railroad has any
Interest In the coal which it transported.
Judge Gray of the United Stntes cir
cuit court of the Eastern district of
Pennsylvania signed an order at Wil
mington, Del., permitting the filing of
the amended complaint. The govern
ment is represented in the action by
the attorney general, James A. lV.wler,
his assistant, nnd Edwin P. Gro'ivrmor,
specinl nsslstnnt attorney general.

M'NAMARA DEFENSE
. SPRINGS A SURPRISE
Alleged Dynamics Refuse to
Plead to Murder Charge. :
Los Angeles, July 7. The defence
In tho McNamara dynamite conspiracy
case sprung a surprise when John J.
iVlcNamara, the accused Indiana labor
leader, nnd his brother, James B.,
were called into Judge Bordwell's de
partment of the superior court.
Both men were summoned to plead
to nineteen charges of murder, the re
sult of the destruction of the Times
plant. In addition, John J. McNamara
was expected to plead to the charge
of conspiracy to destroy the Llewellyn
Iron works. Instead, he challenged the
jurisdiction of the court, claiming that
It had no right to exact a plea on
either the nineteen charges of murder
or the Llewellyn lion works Indict
ment because he was extradited from
Indianapolis not for murder, but for
alleged dynamiting.
A motion for the quashing of the in
dictments was made in the case of
James B. McNamara, who entered no
plea whatever, holding that the Indict
ments against him should not stand
because the grand jury was biased
and because Earl Rogers, who acted
as a special district attorney to aid
the Inquisitors during the investiga
tion, had previously been active on be
half of the Times and the Merchants'
and Manufacturers' association during
the search for evidence.
The prosecution met the move of
the defense with a motion to disallow
the pica to jurisdiction. An argument
on the relevancy of John McNamara's
action ensued.
