SCOTS CHOP WAY OUT OF A CORNER Terrible Fighting1 Hand-to-Iland With Bayonet and Machine Guns Described. London, Nov. 12. An eyewitness' description of the first desperate con- flict between the London Scottish reg iment and the Germans was issued last night by the British official press bureau. The fighting of the London Scots, a territorial command, is prais ed as most heroic and equal to any thing the regular army could do, for, although almost surrounded by ene mies, the British cut a way out. "Oct. 31," says the account, "being ordered to take up a section of the firing line to support some of our cavalry and having advanced to its position under heavy fire from field guns, how itzers and machine guns, the battalion reached a point where . i further movement forward was impos- I Frederick W. Dow, Chicago, was nomi sible. There it maintained itself un- i nated without opposition for general til dusk, when it proceeded to in trench. "From 'J o'clock that night until 2 a. m. Sunday the Germans made nu merous attacks on the Scottish line, all of which were repulsed by rifle tire. At 2 a. m. they made their great effort and assaulted the front and left of the position in great force. "A considerable number succeeded by a detour in getting around the Jlank of the regiment. A large pro portion of these were engaged by the companies in support and reserve, while others penetrated between the first and second lines of trenches and assailed our firing line in the rear. "While the fighting with rifle and bayonet was going on, both in front' and immediately behind the firing line, a reserve company still farther be hind made repeated bayonet charges against the enemy, who had got round, and so prevented the entire envelop ment of the battalion. "Behind the firing line the scene of! combat was lit up by a blazing house, ! which the Germans had set alight. "At dawn it was discovered that large numbers of the enemy had worked round both flanks with ma chine funs, and a retirement was car ried out. This was effected under a cross fire from machine guns and rifles. "Naturally. In an encounter of this nature, the battalion suffered a heavy loss but, though unable to maintain its position, it acquitted itself with gallantry and coolness iu a situation of peculiar difficulty, and, following the national motto of 'Nemo me lm- pune lacessu. iniiicieu lar niuic damage on the enemy than it re ceived."

Omaha, Nebraska, November 12. Yesterday afternoon's session of the national association convened at 3 o'clock and the report of the commit tee on amendments to the constitu tion was read. An attempt was made to reduce the salary limit of class B clubs to $2,000 per month, class C to $1,200 per month, and Class D to $1,000 per month. Class C and D delegates objected very strongly and the con vention gave them further time until today to consider the amendment. That part of the amendment referring to Class B clubs carried, the limit to be $2,000 per month including man ager, with the privilege of carrying 22 players the first 20 days of the season and 14 for the balance. Class C and D will be allowed 22 men the first 20 days and 12 men the balance of the season. An amendment was passed under which in the future all questions and grievances will be decided by the president of the league in which the player is working. The decision must be given in five days and then if not satisfactory can be taken to the national board and the national commission. Tearney to Fight. The question of the five-mile rule was not taken up. The committee will make a favorable report for- Rock Js land, but President Tearney has given notice that he is going to put up a strong fight to hold the territory. Thus far he only has the support of Louis Heilbronner of the Central league. George Reed, who was selected by the Three-Eye league to manage the Rock Island team, will not divulge his plans but says he will be in Rock Is land in a few weeks to organize a stock company. Central association delegates here are strong for Rock Is land and will welcome . the city to their circuit. Rock Island Not Consulted. The Three-Eye league moguls did not even intimate to Rock Island men at the meeting their intention to transfer the Springfield franchise, al though it was not unlooked for when Dick Kinsella announced that Spring field would never start the season and was disposing of its players. Not con sidering Rock Island, present condi tions indicate that the Three-Eye will be compelled to start the season with six clubs, ' for it developed that the man who spoke for the franchise in Dubuque at the Peoria meeting was none other than Clarence Rowland, manager of the Peoria club.

COURT HOUSE WRECKED BY A HUGEB0IV1B Anarchists Seek to Destroy Million Dollar Structure in New York. THREE GIRLS INJURED Explosion Follows Trial of White Slavers Incriminating Literature Found. , fs'ew York, Nov. 12. Amidst ruin wrought by a powerful bomb explod ed last night at the entrance of Bronx county's new million dollar court house, detectives today found what they consider strong evidence that the outrage was perpetrated by an archists ;who had in mind the Hay market riots in Chicago more than 20 years ago. Among fragments of metal chipped from doors, casing and cornices of the court house they found tatters of a printed pamphlet in Spanish head ed, "Los Mortires de Chicago" (The Martyrs of Chicago). The pamphlet, so far as could be pieced together, purported to tell the story of the Hay market anarchists, who killed Chicago police in the famous riots. A rough wood-cut showed Haymar ket anarchists swinging from gallows. There were incendiary statements concerning the duty of anarchists to avenge the martyrs. Judge Is Threatened. Detectives first followed the theory that the bomb was exploded by a band of traffickers in women, seven of whom were sentenced to long terms. More than a score of letters have been received by County Judge Gibbs, warn ing him vengeance, and some threaten ing bim with the "death King Hum bert received." Three girls were slightly injured. The explosion's damage is $15,000. Thousands swarmed into the streets from their homes. AID GIVEN FRISCO SLAYER Money Raised for Man Whoce Fam ily Was Starving. San Francisco, Nov. 12.
