Tbe gov ernment today won its case in the United btates supreme court in the socalled bathtub trust suit.

Black ened pieces of infernal machines which figured in the explosion at Los Angeles, CaL, on Oct. 1, 1910, when 21 people were killed in the wreck of the Times ballding, were identified, at the "dyna mite conspiracy" trial today. Events Involving the handling of the nitro gelatin with which Jas. B. McNamara cansed the explosion were first de scribed by witnesses. William Plynn, an employe of a pow der company in San Francisco, testified that on Sept. 20, 1910, he packed in boxes 600 pounds of nitro-gelatin and delivered it to the launch used bv Mc- i KarMflrfl 'I'tint -i9a 111 iave hAfni1. th Los Angeles explosion. jneiiiainie me aynumiiers ma sioreu the explosive in a vacant house In San Fianclsco and McNamara had taken a supply to Los Angeles.

Harrison Gray Otis, proprietor of the Times," said Rice. "At Gen. Otis's home we found a suit case under a bay window I carried the case about 75 feet and called the chief of police. When he arrived we opened the case. In doing so I heard the buzzing of an alarm clock We all ran and in an other instant there was an explosion which tore up the ground for an eighth of an acre." Other witnesses had testified that McNamara confessed to having placed all the bombs in Los Angeles to ex plode at 1 a. m. A clock was shown the jury as hav ing been taken from the bomb near the Zeehandelaar home. The alarm was set for 1 a. m., but had failed to work.

Marks Epoch in Deacons The decision marked an epoch in anti trust decis ons, because it sustained the government's contention that a violation of the Sherman anti-trust law could not be concealed behind the patent laws of the country. The decision of the lower court was up- L held throughout as to the main defend ants and the uoiweu reaa company, which claimed it was not engaged in interstate commerce. Dismiss Colorado Case. The supreme court dismissed for want of jurisdiction the appeal recently dock eted with it, from the decision of the Colorado courts upholding the constitu tionality of the Colorado constitutional amendment for debt refunding. The action was in accordance with the motion filed bv attorney geenral Ben (Jnffith ot Colorado, asking that it be dismissed, he case involved $2,115,000 state warrants issued to cover money appropriated by the seventh general as sembly. Two years ago the refunding proposition was submitted to the voters and, according to the returns, was rati fied. Suit was instituted in the district court charging fraud at the polls and in making the returns the lower court decided against the legality of the bond issue. On appeal the Colorado state su preme court reversed the lower tribunal. holding that the election was legal and the bond issue properly authorized. The original warrants amounted to $373 000 and with accrued interest now aggregate $2,115,000. The effect of the I nited States court's action is to leave in force the decision of the Colorado supreme court The supreme court took a recess until December 2. TARIFF FIRST: THEN SWATS FOR TRUSTS Democrats Will Make Over the Sherman Law When the Tariff Is Revised. HENRY WILL PRESS THE TRUST ISSUE (By Winfleld Jones.) Washington. D. C, Nov. 18. The cer- tainty that the Democrats will control both branches of the national legisla- ture in the' 63d congress has acted as a check upon plans for the immediate revision of the herman anti-trust law. It is now conceded that no specific at- tempt will be made to revise that stat ute during the short session, and the Democratic attitude is that the trust problem should await the time when tnax party exercises complete control of the legislative and executive branches ! nf the rnvprnmpnt. t1.ava ..a .. .4m,. There are a dozen bills nrooosing to amend the Sherman law now before the house committee on judiciary, whose chairman is congressman Henry D. Clayton, of Alabama. Mr. Clayton and his committee associates are inclined toward a policy of strengthening the luiuli a l"" " irraBi mc law, nt " 3s reliably learned that no I such attempt will be made while the senaie aim uie presiuein arc i upim- siic pviiuvai laiLii. It is not assured, however, that chairman Clayton will exercise merely a legislative function as regards amend ments to the Sherman law. His name is mentioned by the slatemakers as an available man. for the attorney general ship under the Wilson administration His long service on the house judiciary committee and his legal attainments put him in the running for a cabinet port folio, and there is the added reason that he is representative of the Un- ; derwood strength.

Irrespective of whether congressman Clayton becomes the Democratic trust, buster or the leader in shaping new anti trust legislation, he and his com mittee are in for a busy time during the next year or so. Since the supreme court decisions in the Standard oil and tobacco cases chairman Clayton and the members of the house judiciary committee have been buckling down "to a study of the trust problem. Democratic KefereeH. About the first question which the Wilson administration will have to solve, even in advance of the making of appointments, is what brana .f iemocrats it Is going to depend on for referees In the different stater. This question is loaded with dyna mite. President Taft found it so. Mr. Wilson will hardly find it otherwise. President Taft took the course of abid ing by the advice of the standpatters in the matter of patronage. He turned a deaf ear to the progressives of his party. In fact, after the beginning of the regular session of the Slst con gress, in the winter of 1908-10, he made open war on the insurgents in the matter of patronage and he is still making it. That Is. he is still refusing to appoint to office men recognized by the progressive Republicans. Gov. Wilson, when he becomes presi dent, will face the same situation with respect to his party that president Taft faced. He will have to make appoint ments either on the recommendation of the "progressive" Democrats o- the conservatives and reactionaries. Maybe he will be adept enough to tr-m and sail between the two sides. But the feeling between them is toj tense to make it likely he can do th's Question is Up .Voir. Already this question Is sticking up sharply in a number of states. A good instance of it Is found no further away than Maryland. Maryland went strong for Wilson. At the Baltimore conven tion the influence of the old Demo cratic machine, led by senato- John Walter Smith, was against Wilson. The progressive Democrats of the state, including senator Rayner, Blair Lee, many of the John Hopkins university- crowd, and the anti-machine Democra's generally lined up for Wilson. Senator Smith is one of the chief of the senate reactionaries, a high tariff lumber man, a protection Democrat, and, in short, anything but a pro gressive In any sense. But he is a fin ished politician, and the story is al ready going the rounds that when the spoils of office are divided he will be on hand with his recommendations and they will be listened to In fact, some of the Maryland politicians go so far as to say Smith, rather than the "pro gressive" Democrats, -will dictate the patronage. Friends of Wilson in Washington do i not belteve this will happen How ever, this is an illustration of the situ ation that confronts the president elect. In practically every state in" the union he will have to face squarelv the problem of whether he is going to let the reactionaries or the progressie men of his partv nominate the office holders. And if he turns to one he will win tbe condemnation of the other. If he tries a middle-of-the-road path, he -will Incur the usual dancer of folks who carry water on both shoul ders PRESIDKT TAFT MS1TS 1 VLTI. New York. N Y..

Mucn has been said as to the Babbit of srovernor Hunt andr superintendent Sims in sending groups of convicts to isolated regions without guards to build roads and much has also been said , by way of criticism as to the i danger to the body politic of permlt- tlng criminals to have sucn freedom. However, after a careful investigation of the workings of tbe system at the road camps on the Florence to Phoe nix highway, the Globe-Ray roads and on the Tempe bridge, the conclusion is reached that the body politic te in no danger at all and that the convicts so employed are much better off tnan they would be if kept within the prison walls with no employment at ail, as was the rule under the otd system. Under the new regime, the state is getting much needed roads, the in mates of the prison are healthier and in a better way to be converted into better citizens than they were before they became prisoners and the body politic is better off on both counts; at least that is the opinion of these who favor the present departure from the old fashioned purely punitive systepa.

It is carried just as far as it can be carried without turning the inmates of the penitentiary back upon society with out let or hindrance Governor Hunt, who is responsible for the conditions i which obtain in the Arizona prison. says the men the prisoners are the better for the change from the old pumtie system. Superintendent Sims says they are better and the men themselves say they are the better for it On that score there seems to be a remarkable unanimity of opinion. Of the 400 convicts supposed to be in the Arizona prison, 161 are em ploed at road or bridge building 82 at the Tempe bridge, 38 are at work on the Globe-Ray road and 41 are build ing the Florence-Phoenix highway and making a good job of it. At the Tempe bridge camp, the men are kept in a stockade and work under guard, but it is the only one of the three camps where the men are kept housed up or are under guard, and, strange to say, it is from this camp that most of the men -who have taken "leg bail" have made their getaway. At the Globe-Ray and Florence-Phoenix camps the men work wtihout guard and at night sleep on cots in com fortable tents with no one 'watching them to see that they -do not escape There have been but two escapes from these camps and in each case they were men with but a few weeks to serve, it is stated StSHrt Termem Try to Bscape. It would naturally be supposed that the short termers would be willing to "stick it out" for the few weeks or days remaining for them to serve and that the men with years of service starinsr them in the face would be the men most likely to make a break for liberty should a chance offer, but such is not the case,, strange to say. Men who have had much experience as guards and superintendents of penal institutions say that, it is invariably the rule that when the time of a pris oner is about to expire, he becomes nervous, is sleepless, cannot eat and often reaches the point where he must be tauen in nana by tne prison pnsi eian. The theory is that the prisoner about to be released, as his time for release approaches, begins to worry about the way he will be received by his f-.iily and the outside world In general until it becomes an obsession with him. If he is shut up within nails, the obsession manifests itself in the form of a nervous breakdown; if he is working in an 'honor" camp he sometimes runs away, but not near ly so often as might be supposed. The Arizona penitentiary, unlike most state prisons, is not a manufac turing plant except to the extent that all the clothing, except socks and hats, worn by the inmates, is manfactured within the prison walls. This fur nishes employment for manv shoemak ers, shirt makers and tailors Then there are cooks and waiters, barbers, electricians, engineers and firemen, pumpmen, gardeners, teamsters, jani tors and men of all work besides, and those at work in the road camps Jfo the casual observer, they are H ' honor" men They all seem to enjoy the same measure of freedorn Theie is a difference, but it is not apparent to the casual observer The superin tendent and his assistants know who are and who are not in the "trusty" class and entitled to a.

MEXICO BURNS TOWNS BY REBELS Troops Eire With Artillery Without Warning Non combatants to Leave. CONDITIONS ARE REPORTED BETTER Mexico City, Met, Nov. IS. That the Mexican government is determined to carry out the threat to resume the tactics employed so successfully by Gen. Robles in the state of Morelos. some months ago, is indicated by the report of the war department announc ing the total destruction of several small towns and villages in the north era mountains of Oaxaea, where tbe revolution has been rampant. Ixtepeji and Zia, two of the places destroyed, were the strongholds of the Serrano Indians, who have not been subjugated by tbe campaign waged in the vicinity of the state capital after an attempt had been made to capture the city. Convinced that the inhabi tants of these towns were in accord with the rebels, orders were issued for their destruction. Without calling on the inhabitants to withdraw, the ar tillery began its work, ceasing only when 'the town had been reduced to a mass of ruins.

The government is convinced that the situation in the northern part of the country is now so nearly in hand that smaller forces will be able to restore normal condi tions. The Indians are active in other di rections. Official reports say condi tions in the states of Morelos and Mex ico have improved, but it is known that the rebels hold important hills near ,Cuernavaca and largely control the ru ral districts and many of the minor towns in the state of Mexico. The situation in the state of Guerrero has become worse on account of the leader ship of Juan Andrew Almazan, who is said ;o have a cruel following and controls much territory along the Pa cific coast. Gen. Aguilar, who Is supposed to be directing a large portion of the rebel forces, is operating in the southern part of the state of Puebla. Encoun ters are reported daily, but in all of them the government has been victori ous, with slight loss. At Huaquecheu la, federals dislodged the rebels from a strong position, eight rebels neing killed and one federal. Numerous haci endas and small towns have been sacked and the crops destroyed.

Apostle Ivans came here to discuss with the local counsel of the church the present and future plans for the colonists of Mexico and to care for the refugees who are not yet located on ranches in the states. He says that the present colonisa tion effort, that is being made under the direction of former stake presi dent Junius Romney and business agent O P.

Charles Wahle, attorney for the four "gunmen accused of the murder of Herman Rosenthal, began his argument to the jury today. Wahle began with the assertion that Jack Rose was "the guiding hand that put the shots Into Herman Rosenthal." Rose, he cnarae terised as a "criminal for 20 years and never caught." "You must have weighed beneath the depths of the calm demeanor of Jack Roee," the counsel continued, "the degradation and criminality of his character. His was the brain that directed the plot which Webber, Vallon and Schepps carried into execution." Mr. Wahle said the evidence proved that Rose feared the gunmen, that he sought them out to prove he had nothing to do with the "framing up" of "Jack" Zelig, their gang leader. "Rose's desire to prove his innocence, that s .the shibboleth of the entfre case." declared Mr. Wakle.

LAST STAND BEFORE TURKISH CAPITAL' Servians Capture Monastic From the Turks King Nicholas Sees th?- Fight. . London. Ens., Nov. 18. Bulgariasr attack on the Turkish line of fortifica tions defending Constantinople at' Tchatalja has failed, though tbe wholes Bulgarian army was engaged. Every' available man was moved to the front from the Bulgarian forces investing' Adrianople, where they were relieved;, by Servian troops. The Bulgarians, with all their artiU lery began their advance en tha' Tchatalja fortifications on Saturday and continued the bombardment of the works throughout Sunday. They. however, found the Turkish positions so strong that they could make no im pression on them and for the moment at least the attempt has been given up. Turks Make Determined Stand. Observers 'Who have been to the Turkish front agree that the capture of the Tchatalja lines must prove a task of tremendous difficulty. The days the Bulgarians were compelled to use for the bringing up of guns and ammunition and reinforcements were utilise by the Turks to entrench them selves and place their gsms in position, giving thesn a dtottnet asrrantage ever the attackers. The Turks, wno h.id been so shaken by their previous de feat, appeared to have been stead-' d and thus far have made a most deter mined stand. The Bulgarian troops made the'r main attack to the east of Tchataljn aiming to break through at the point where the railway to Constantinople makes a loop. The strong torts, the marshes and te guns of the Turkish warships had evidently discouraged them from from making an attempt to turn either flank of the Turkish lines Should the Bulgarians be successful in their effort to break through tha Turkish left center. Nazim Pasha's Ottoman army will be pushed back to the northeast and its retreat on the capital will be cut off. The Turks seem to have no. hope of rolling back the Bulgarian forces, but if they succeed in holding the lines at Tchatalja both the military and diplomatic situation will undergo a marked change, since a long defence of the front will probably com pel the invaders to negotiate without taking Constantinople MeBtesefnetes Make Progress, At Scutari the Montenegrins are at last making some headway. They have succeeded in driving the Turkish troops, from one of their mountain positions, but the Turkish commander has not. given up hope of making a long de fence. The invested fortress of Adrianople. also, according to independent cc-i respondents, is still able to withstand a siege -of several months. The Greek army is oi its 'way to Janina, the fortress in the southwest ern portion of European Turkey, and' the Greek fleet continues busy in the Aegean Sea. It occupied yesterday the island of Icana. Anatria Modifies Dtmmnila. Acting on the recommendation of her ally, Italy. Austria is said to have, modified her demands and no longer objects to the construction of a railway from the DanuBe to the Adriatic She has also abandoned her scheme of a customs union with Servia. On the other hand. Great Britain, Russia and France are giving counsels, of moderation and conciliation to Seryla. The latter still talks of tak ing ode or more ports on the Adriatic but doubtless m the end will listen to the advice of her friends and accept some compromise. While fighting is going on at Tcha talja, the negotiations for an armistic have lost some of their interest, b it have not been forgotten by the bel ligerents. It is stated that the terms of the Balkan allies will include a de mand for the cession of all the Turkish territory down to the Erkene river and the payment of an indemnity of $120 -000.000 Marines Landed at Capital. At Constantinople everything Is quiet, although the landing of larger detach ments of marines and bluejackets than usual has caused some perturbati n among the Turks. The most compn -hensive measures have been taken f. r the protection of Pera. the foreign quarter, and on a signal which will re given in case of the outbreak t'-f ji eign marines and bluejackets , ill co operate with the Turkish militiry po lioe, which enjoys the coTifiderce of the foreign embassies.
