First Federal
Indictment of
"Night Riders"
Twelve Men Charged with Conspiracy
in Restraint of Trade at Dry
Eidge, Ky.
CINCINNATI. O.. Feb. 17. The first blow
truck by the United States against alleged
"night rldera" was delivered today, when a
federal grand Jury at Covington. Ky.. re
turned Indictment against twelve men of
Dry Rldgo. Ky., for conspiracy In restraint
of trade. On of the men Indicted 1 John
8. Steers, a member of the state leglsla
ture. The mdlctments charge that the de
fendant! 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.
three.! s of violence both Osborne and the
station agent at Dry Ridge. Three counts
were returned, but they differ merely tech
nlcally.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 17. The offense on
which the night rider Indictments are basd
are characterized as one of the most literal
examples of restraint In trade that has evr
como to the attention of. the federal legal
department.
Wade H. Rills, assistant attorney general
In charge of the prosecution made this
statement concerning the contemplated
prosecution :
"It developed at a recent hearing of tha
officers and representatives of the Burley
Tobacco society In Washington that the
chief grievance against the society or any
of Its members were the acts of violence,
depredation and forcible opposition to the
shipment of tobacco to points outside tho
state by Independent growers, who refused
to Join the society. Tho oflcers of the
society disavow any responsibility for the
acts of these ntgnt riders and the govern
ment determined to sleot 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. It is Che hope that if the prosecution suc
ceeds It will put an end to the acts of law
lessness and Intimidation. The action
taken by the government Is not against the

JEFF DAVIS FLAYS OWEN
(Continued from First Page.)
lenged any democratic senator to vote
for It. 1 1 '
Growing more demonstrative and point
ing his finger at Senator Owen, Mr. Davis
exclaimed:
"Will the senator deny that the Standard
OH company Is one of the most Iniquitous
and damnable trusts that ever existed?"
He went on to say that by the law this
company could not come Into Arkansas.
"Then," ha aaked, "will congress give It
this rightr
"Wo don't want the Standard Oil com
pany In Arkansas," he exclaimed. ''The
only place that I would be willing to see
a pipe line laid for the Standard OH com
pany would be straight from here to hell,
and I should wanl to see the oil flowing
directly there. Furthermore, I would be
glad to see that old trust magnate, John D.
Rockefeller, there to receive the oil and
would be glad to see the flames that Its
appearanoe would create wrapped snugly
around hlip." ' ' '
He repeated VhlTTTllene io-' the dem
ocrats to vpter tfte btlf and declaring
that Mr. OwetfivtfouhT'brf "the only one to
cast his voto In' Its f avort? saldihls support
was due to tha f'acj hal In some way the
Oklahoma senator,, was." believe, to b in
terested in tha'.tttandard Oil company.
Calls" Speech Impatient.
The ImttUiaUaq. brought the Indian -senator
from the new state to his feet, but
he was smiling when he said:
"The impudent speech which the senator
from Arkansas has Just delivered has no
foundation In fact;"
'"Well, Mr, President, the senator acts
like he was Interested," responded . Mr.
Davis, smiling, "and," by Jinks, I believe he
Is Interested.". .
Mr. Owen replied; saying that It was en
tirely Immaterial to him what his Arkan
sas colleague might think and he want on
to say that the opinion of that gentleman
was utterly worthless, a ' fact which he
believed would b generally conceded to
be borne out by his present exhibition.
"I thank God," responded Mr. Davis,
"that I have never- made an exhibition
In favor of the Standard OH company."
He went on to nay. 'that "oil did not smell
good to him and that he did not like It."
Then he explained'; In sonorous tones,
"Before God, Mr. President, I'd rather
have my right hand forget Its cunning,
my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth
and the mother who' bore -me disown me
than be present here as an advocate of
such a concern as the Standard Oil com
pany. ' "Let each senator vote aa his conscience
dictates," exclaimed Mr. Davis. "Let the
blood be upon you. I submit my caso
without further comment'
Owen Explains Bill.
Senator Owen replied that Mr. Davis'
speech did not deserve an answer, but he
explulned that all that stood In the way of
the pipe line was about fourteen forty-
acre tracts of public lands, which could
not be condemned In the usual way.
He said the Standard OH company had
been- willed to Arkansas by the legal au
thorities of the state;
"By what authority?" demanded Mr. Da
vlf .
"Does the ; senafpT from Oklahoma
yield?" asked Senator Gamble In the chair.
"I decline to yield," said Mr. Owen.
"The senator from Arkanras has for
felted his rlgh'to the respect of the sen
ator'from Oklahoma. I desire that he re
member that.'' ' -'
Ills voice rang with Indignation. When
he had taken bis seat Senator Davis said:
"As to forfeiting the respect of the sen
ator from Oklahoma I care nothing. I
toss It to the winds, r iever had any use
for him In the first place."
Davis closed his speech with another
reference to J. D. Rockefeller, whom he
characterized as an "old, sly fox,", but
admitted that he had many friends In
court and out'
On a viva voce vote the bill then, waa
passed. Mr., Davis, being the only senator
to vote "no."

SEVENTY-FOUR MEN EXAMINED
Only Opening; Address of Trial Made
f and First Witness Will Take
Stand This Mornlngr Mrs.
Philips Sunpoenaed.
Jim Philips' fate will be decided by a
Jury of comparatively young men who were
finally accepted In the murder case yes
terday afternoon following a two days'
examination of venire and talesmen.
Seventy-four men were quizzed by the
attorneys on each side In district court be
fore twelve acceptable to both were found.
The defense then had left six peremptory
challenges and tha 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
guilt 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 Brallcy yes
terday, the regular venire haying been ex
hausted. Of this regular venire only three
men qualified. The twelve who constitute
the Jury are these:
Dennis Cushing, 2622 Q street, South

atote's Case Not Lenarlhy.
Following the acceptance of the laxt man.
County , Attorney - English outlined the
staters case. This, he asserted, will' compass
but a small ground and occupy but a little
time In the giving of evidence. 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, v .
' Then H. B. Fleharty for the defense tried
to get an extension of the defendant's
opening address until the state had rested
ltB case In chief. The privilege was denied
him by udge Estelle as not warranted by
statute. Fleharty took an exception and
waived opening address at the time.
The first witness will be called by the
state this morning. He will be Charles
Pate, who waa In the house with Hamilton
when Philips called him to the door. The
Jury was not locked up last night, but will
be hereafter.
Next to tha defendant, himself, Mrs.
Mabel Philips, wife of. Jim Philips, con
tinues to bs the chief Bubject 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 hur
husband. It Is possible that the state will
also call her to the stand.
