set forth emphatically that the team-
sters were out In sympathy with the
garment workers only, and that if the
grievances of the garment workers
were not to be considered there was
nothing to arbitrate.

Tailor Manufacturers’ association had
entered into a conspiracy to bring
back former sweatshop conditions
among garment workers, and that the
conspiracy had been successful In
New York, Rochester and Philadel-
phia, and was being pushed here in
Chicago. Another conference will be
held tomorrow. Neither side ap-
peared hopeful of the results of mak-
ing for peace.

(Associated Press Correspondence.)
Willemstadt, Island of Curacao.—

an edict announcing that the interest
on the interior debt of Venezuela for
seven years has been canceled and
that scrip-bearing interest at 3 per

INJUNCTION IS ASKED FOR
New York, April 11.—Today's pro-
ceedings'* before Justice Maddox In
the supreme court, Brooklyn, on the
application by Franklin B, Lord for
an Injunction to restrain the carrying
out of the Equitable Lite Assurance
society's mutualization plan were en-
livened by an attack made by Ed-
ward M. Shepard, counsel for Lord,
on Francis Hendricks, state superin-
tendent of Insurance.
Mr. Shepard declared that Mr.
Hendrick* had refused Ms client a
hearing when the mutualization plan
was under consideration, although at
the same time he was in conference
with attorneys for the society's of-
ficers.
Stockholder! Are
Seriously Divided.

that Ids client was the owner of
fifteen shares of Equitable stock. His

The Surplus
of the Society.
William B. Hornblower, who said
that ho represented tho Euqltable so-
ciety and its 600,000 policy holders,
contended that the stockholders' privi-
lege to vote for directors was not a
property right. This was disputed by
Mr. Uiiterihflyer. There was an argu-
ment also between Mr. Untermeyer
and Mr. Hornblower as to what con-
stituted the Equitable society’s sur-
plus above reserve requirements.
Policy Holders
Interested In $70,000,000.
Of the $80,000,000 carried an a sur-
plUB, Mr. Hornblower aald $70,000,000
should be considered as a reserve to
meet obligations. This left $10,00(1.-
000 clear in which, however, he held
the stockholders had no interest, that
money belonging to policy holder*.
Mr. Untermeyer questioned the plac-
ing of a reserve to meet the obliga-
tions with $70,000,000 and asked If.
the counts had not. decided $46,000,-
000 to be a sufficient reserve fund.
Justice Maddox gave tho lawyers
until Friday to file their briefs.

JN0. H. MITCHELL
FACES COURT
Venerable Senator from Ore-
gon, Indicted for Land
Frauds, Is Arraign-
ed for Plea.
WAIVES TECHNICALITY
While Others Indicted With
Him Enter Pleas in Abate-
ment, His Attorney
Does Not.
GRAND JURY WAS ILLEGAL
Portland, Ore., April 11.—Judge
Bellinger’s court was crowded today
when the time arrived for Senator
John H. Mitchell to plead to tho four
Indictments found against him by the
late federal grand jury.
In his plea in abatement Senator
Mitchell challenge* tho acts of the
late federal grand jury by charging
specifically that Jurors W. Robertson
and Carl Phelps, original foreman and
secretary, respectively, had been
legally excused for tho term, pending
Investigations; that Jurors Frank G,
Biifftun and George Feebler had been
sworn in some time after the grand
jury had been empaneled; that. Juror
George Oustin' was uot. a citizen of
the Unite J States; that Jurors Frank
Bolter and Joseph Fanner were not
taxpayers, as required by law; and
that District Attorney Honey was dis-
qualified In many ways, beside* being
prejudiced.
Base of Plea
of Abatement.
The plea in abatement wa* based
upon the ease wherein Senator
Mitchell is accused of accepting pay
through the law firm of Mitchell &
Tanner to expedite land titles before
the land department at Washington
in behalf of Frederick A. Krih*. A
demurrer was also Hied, after stipu-
lation between the government and
counsel for the defense that the plea
In abatement, should not be waived
by the filing of a demurrer.
Will Not Take Advantage
of Legal Technicalities.
Judge Alfred 3. Bennett, of The Dal-
les, aa attorney for Senator Mitchell,
announced that there wan a question
of moral turpitude involved In the case
wherein Senator Mitchell I* accused of
accepting $2,000 from S. A. I). Filter,
and therefore he would waive all legal
technicalities and be ready to proceed
to the trial without delay Upon the
Issues at stake.
Judge Bennett entered a pica of
not guilty for the senator In three of
the cases against him—two for con-
splracy under section 6440 of the re-
vised statutes, and one, muter section
1782 for accepting money while hold-
ing the position of United States sen-
ator to expedite a title before tho
land department.
Other Indicted Men

W. W, Steiwer, president; H. H
Hendricks, secretary and treasurer;
Clarence U. Zachary, general mana-
ger, and C, E. Glass, bookkeeper of
the Butte Creek Land,-Livestock and
Lumber company, entered pleas In
abatement, similar to that of Senator
Mitchell, the charge against them be-
ing a conspiracy to "coyer-" or fence
up the public domain.
District Attorney Hooey objected to
the pb-as In abatement on the ground
of their being filed too into. A hear-
ing will bo given Friday.
