Baltimore, Oct. 13.—In the United
States circuit court here today Judge
John C. Rose rendered a decision fav
oring the government in its dissolution
suit against the Standard Sanitary
Manufacturing Company and othersc,
the so-called “bath tub trust.”
The decision Is most sweeping in its
character. Federal counsel declared
that today’s decision supports the gov
ernment’s contention in every point.
Thv^ action w^as brought under the
Sherman anti-trust law. In case of an
appeal it viill go direct to the United
States supieme coxirt.
W'hiie tliis decision is a 6eparate
case from tl\e criminal action against
alleged trust at Detroit, the proceed
ings concern the same subject matter
and are against the same defendants
nesday, because of physical inability
to stand the fatigue of a long trial.
Nelson, a ruddy-faced man of 62
years, from the start answered ques
tions put by counsel with delibera
tion, weighing his answers.
“I can’t answer that question be
cause I’m not sufficiently familiar with
the subject,” was his reply from tinie
to time to questions concerning his
attitude toward labor organizations as
he understood them to exist in Cali
fornia and elsewhere
Because of the determination of
questions involved in the examination
of Nelson, the first talesman, it was
said that questioning of other tales
men would go forward much more
rapidly.
The talesmen, transferred last night
from the official jury room to more
airy quarters, romped like boys at
their morning bath and appeared im
mensely refreshed by the day of ease
afforded by yesterday’s legal holiday.
The veniremen came into court with
bristling beards, it having developed
that «one of them w’as accustomed to
shaving himself. They thereupon de-
cidetl to request the ap^Wi’htment of a
barber who should beallowed to shave
them under supervision of a deputy
sheriff.
The Prisoner, accompaniedby Sherifr
Hamnip, sauntered into the court., nod
ding to several friends. He tok an in
conspicuous' seat against the rail and
chatted for a minute 5vith his chiei
counsel.
It was 10:14 o’clock when court con-
H. S. Poppenbush was selected to fill
the vacancy in the pannel. .
District Attorney Fredericks mf6rm-
ed the court that he would like to with
draw his objection to the unanswered
questions directed lo Z. T. Nelson on
Wednesday. The question was:
With reference Jo the officers and
men who direct the management of the
affairs of labor unions, do you oe-
H«ve that the great majority of them
are lawless men? i
Lecompte Davis immediately asked
the question of Mr. Nelson, who re-
nUed- ^‘I don’t believe I can answer
that question. I don’t know anything
about the officers.” . i- « ohmit
Well, what is your bcslief about

St. Peteisburg. Oct. 13.—The text
of the Russian note to Turkey regard

Russia’s %^rbal remonstrance, Turk
ey had said that she intended to act
according to the declaration of Lon
don of 1909.
The Russian Position.
As this was considered unsatisfac
tory to Russia, this government pre
sented a written demand wherein it
was pointed out that Russia, basing
her position upon the declaration ot
Paris , of 1856 and articles 24 und 33
of the declaration of London, consid
ered that cargoes of corn were sub
ject peither of arrest nor confisca
tion when addressed to Russian ports
in the Black Sea or to Italian ports
so long as the cargoes were not des
tined tor the Italian field forces or
Italian official consignees.
The note concludes;
Turkey has not Replied
“Any attempt to arrest and confis
cate the above mentioned cargoes
Russia will regard as a violation of
the rights of Russia and the goyern*
ment gives warning of the heavy re*
sponsibility Turkey will incur in such
circumstances.”'

it is said, by tapping a ♦telegraph

According to the story told along
Broadway the men interested laid
heavy bets in all the .pool rooms on a
horse named Rudolfo. Care was taken
to select a horse that sold at short
odds so as to distract any suspicion.
When the report came in to the vari-^ .
ous pool rooms it was found that Ru-j ships^ tho Ottoman

Article 24 of the declaration of
