According to federal authorities the men
in promoting what was termed the North

"get-rich-quick" scheme which has taken
approximately $100,000 from the farmers

Death of Zellig Does
Not Alter Any Plans
NEW TORK. Oct 7.-The death of "Big
Jack" Zellg. although a severe blow to
the prosecution, caused no change In the
plans for the opening day of the trial of
Police Lieutenant Becker, charged with
the murder of the gambler, Herman
Rosenthal, - Two hundred and , fifty
talesmen reported early at the criminal
courts building and curioua crowds
swarmed through the corridors, waiting
to see Becker brought across the Bridge
of Sighs from the Tombs.
The roost rigid inquiry on the part of
police and district attorney's office has
brought to light nothing to indicate that
Zellg was killed to defeat the ends of
justice. Davidson, his slayer, appears to
have been actuated solely by his desire
for personal revenge on the man he says
robbed Mm. However, it was a remark
able coincidence, . for through Zellg the
state hoped to show that his gang men,
retained by "Bald Jack" Rose, shot
Rosenthal at . Becker's bidding.
Justice Goff denied Attorney Mclntyre's
motion for a postponement of the Becker
trial. '
Fifty ot those summoned having failed
to appear, the grand Jury panel was ex
hausted after twenty-one of the twenty
Wee required had been selected. Jus
tice Goff, however, declared this number
sufficient and after swearing the Jurors
In, dismissed them for two weeks.
Almost without exception the Jurors are
well-to-do business men. Among them
were Jesse I Straus, son of Isador Straus,
who perished on the Titanic and nephew
of Oscar 8, StrauB, progressive candidate
for governor of New Tork. ,

WASHINGTON, Oct ?. Warnings
against being ."bamboozled" by the bath
tub trust figured prominently In the brief
of the Department of Justice filed today
in the supreme court of the United States
for the guidance of the Justices In con
sidering the question of whether the com
bination shall be dissolved In accordance
with
court
Attorney General Wlckersham sihd his
special assistant Edwin P. Grovenor, in
formed the court that the so-called license
arrangement of the accused manufactur
ers was merely the -"latest and therefore
the most fashionable contrivance for evad
ing the rules prescribed by the Sherman
act in the conduct of Interstate com
merce." "The arrangement referred to is
a plan whereby the owner of a patented
dredger, used In making unpatented bath
tubs, licenses the dredger to the manu
facturers on conditions regulating the
prices at which the tubs are to be sold
and resold.
The government contends . throughout
its brief that the patent laws give no one
a ' right to violate the. other laws of ths
United States, particularly the Sherman
anti-trust law. A '

PARIS, Oct. 7. The Europesn powers
have decided to intervene at the Balkan
capitals and atXonstantlnople as soon as
it is possible to make arrangements to
that effect.
Great Britain - today signified its ac
ceptance of the French proposals so that
all the powers are now In accord.
Germany Accepts Draft.
BERLIN, Oct. 7. Germany today ac
cepted the amended draft of the declar
ation of the powers to Turkey and ths
Balkan states. It now . embodies ths
Austrian proposal for a. clearer definition
of the intention of the powers, which ask
for a larger measure of home rule for the
European provinces of Turkey.
The German foreign t flee . has ex.
pressed its agreement with the view ol
Serglus Sasonoff, the Russian foreign
minister, as to tha inacceptabllity of the
Bulgarian demand for foreign governors
for Macedonia under control of the Bal
kan states.
Situation somewhat Chanted.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct 7,-The Bal
kan situation has been considerably
changed by Turkey's eleventh-hour sur
prise announcement of, its willingness to
grant a greater measure of self-government
to Ruxmella and Macedonia.
It is argued here that in Introducing in
those provinces reforms elaborated by
representatives of Great Britain, France
Germany, Austria, Italy and Russia,
Turkey not merely desires to give ths
powers an argument for bringing pres
sure to bear In the Balkan capitals, but
probably has In view the circumstance
that . the decision Is , calculated to sow
seeds of discord among the members of
the Balkan alliance.
The Greeks In particular are likely to
be dissatisfied, for it Is regarded in diplo
matlo circles as without doubt that they
were counting on a general conflagration
in order ta Mttla' vartotia-taifiW of intur
standing.' .- These include, for tnutunna '1
the presence of Cretan deputies at Athens
However, although the position has im
proved, war cannot yet be said, to have
been averted. Possible events In Turkey
itself must not be lost sight of, especially

"One of the three great centers con
templated 1 nthe concentrated army plan
will be located on Puget ' sound," General
Wood said. "The plan calls for a heavy
garrison there, another at San Francisco
and perhaps a third near Los Angeles.
There will be three more heavy garrisons
down the middle west and three along the
Atlantic coast when the system Is In
full operation." '
opened, District Attorney Charles F.
Miller addressed Federal Judge A. B.
Anderson.' . - .-,-
"If it please the court the defendant,
Clark of Cincinnati, wishes to change his
plead rfrom 'Not guilty' to guilty."
. Clark then stepped forward.
"Do you plead, guilty?" asked Judge
Anderson. .
,"I plead gllty," said Clark.
The prisoner was separated from the
other forty-five defendants and taken to
Jail to await the Imposing of sentence.
Clark pleaded guilty to all the charges
five counts of conspiracy and' fifty
counts of being a principal to the actual
Illegal ' interstate shipment of dynamite
and nitroglycerin. , . . :.
: Clark- was buslnesa agent and president
of local utoon No. 44 of the International
Association of Bridge and Structural
Iron . Workers from January, 1908,-. to
July, 1911. '.i His activities in promoting
explosions, Miller asserted, were carried
on through letters written by Frank M.
Ryan, president of the union and the Mc-
Namaras. An ivory-handled . umbrella
bearing the Initials "E. C." found in the
wreckage of a dynamited bridge at Day
ton, O., Miller said, led to the disclosure
that Clark '. actually had caused the ex
plosion, having used the umbrella to
protect the dynamite from the rain and
then leaving it behind.
Clark was also charged with carrying
out plots against employes of nonunion
labor. . ' ' 7
In connection with a scheme to blow up
the Harrison avenue viaduct, Miller al
leged, Clark wrote to Ryan:
"It would ba dangerous for me to" buy
explosives, dpwn here. Tou had better
send a stranger. I have gotten one man
out of a lot of trouble already. I m
afraid I can't do much more, for the
police Judge said 'For God's sake don't
bring this bunch before me again, or I'll
have to do something..' "
Clark Poorly Paid.
Herbert S. Hockln, aotlng secretary
treasurer of the union, was charged by
MUler with "double dealing" with Clark.
"The executive board of - the Iron
Workers' union agreed upon a fixed
price of $200 for each Job," said Miller to
the Jury. "For the blowing up of the
bridge over the Miami, river at Dayton,
Msy $, 1908, Hockln paid Clark only $122.50,
thus holding out part of the fee."
Pointing toward Eugene A. Clancy and
Olaf A. Tvletmoe of San Francisco,
Miller said it would be shown that they
helped in promoting the Los Angeles
Times wrecking, and that "Jack"
Bright, known as J, E. Munsey, for two
weeks after the explosion harbored J. B.
McNamars at Salt Lake City. Utah.
