Welch, Earl J. Welch and Charles M. Croft, officials and fiscal agents of the Great Western Coal Mines company, was quashed in an opinion handed down by Judge Tillman D.. Johnson in the United States district 'court. The opinion, which may' be carried into the supreme court of the United States, held that the secrecy of grand jury proceedings was violatea Dy the transcribing of testimony for the use of the district attorney's office. Like cases have come up in several parts of the country, but this is the first of this nature in the Eighth circuit. The indictment returned last Octo ber charged Storrs and other officials with having used the mails to de fraud. The trial was scheduled to have opened on March 23. The plea in abatement filed by Mah ler. E. Wilson, counsel for Storrs, charged irregularities in the proceed ing of the grand jury, which indicted the quartet last October. It was charged that E. M.

Morris influenced the grand jurors in their decision by his summing up of the salient points of the evidence. Mr. Wilson contended that the pres ence, of Mr. Garnett as a stenograph er, in spite ot his appointment as assistant district attorney and the sub sequent transcribing of his notes, later to be turned over to United States District Attorney Chas. M. Morris, was making the investigation of a semipublic nature and in violation of the fifth amendment to the constitution. Bodies Are Blown Into Bits Leningrad. A series of explosions here resulted in the death of twenty- six people. Nearly 100 others were srlously injured by the blast. The explosion occurred in a manufacturing plant near here and is thought to have resulted from overheated oxygen tanks. The plant in which the ac cident happened is located inside the city near the residential section, and many women and children were victims. So violent were the blasts that part of human bodies were hurled in every direction, while the building housing the tanks was completely de stroyed. The violence of the explosion prevented Identification of the victims and the excitement and panic which resulted have made impos sible an accurate check of the factory personnel. , States Washington. The United Steel corporation and the Aluminum Corporation of America were allowed wartime amortization claims running into unestimated millions to which they were not justly entitled, L. C. Manson, special counsel for the Cou- zens investigating committee, said in testimony during hearings held in executive session. Manson said the companies had made claims on property claimed by the companies to be useless which were restored after the claims were allowed. In the case of the United States Steel corporation, Manson said the items "were not too numerous to mention." He estimated "readily discernible" overallowances to the steel corporation at $27,926,014 and to the aluminum company at $6,852,097. Another instance of large losses to the government was cited by Manson in the case of Anaconda Copper company. The company made a valuation claim of $184,152,965, whereas it was the contention of J. A. Grimes, chief of the metals valuation section of the internal revenue bureau, that the valuation should not have been in excess of $55,000,000. This resulted in a net estimated loss of Manson told the committee. Senator Couzens, Michigan chairman of the special senate committee the internal revenue investigating bureau, is awaiting the reply ot Secretary Mellon to the committee's request for further details regarding charges of tax assessment irregularity in the bureau. Couzens said the committee would meet soon to determine whether hearings would be continued at this time or whether a further postponement would be decided upon. Couzens expects a reply from the bureau, concerning the discovery by the committee that William Boyce Thompson, former member of the Republican national committee, had been relieved of a $573,000 tax assessment. The committee has disclosed in a report filed with the senate that in two distinct cases Thompson had not been assessed. In one case Thompson is said to have claimed a loss of $597,479 in the sale of stocks and bonds. In the other, Thompson is alleged to have made a profit in the purchase of mineral lands upon which he did not file a return. I I Pope Greet U. 8.

Plans for the construction of a standard athletic field at the East high school have started, It rs announced by Hugh C. Lewis, super intendent of buildings and grounds, for the board of education. When completed the campus will be one of the most and satisfactory in States, Mr. Lewis said. The preliminary cost estimate for thework was set at $10,000, which, If let into contracts, would be about five in number, all below $5000. hence the board is undertaking the work It self, Mr. Lewis said. It appears now that the field will be constructed at an outlay somewhat under the esti mate, according to the engineer. Salt Lake.
