AGAINST DEFENDANTS
JUDGE GROsSCUP'S RULING IN THE
DEBs CONsP CY CASE.
All Evidence to O. rt Acts Admis-
sible-Ensineer Beatty's Testimony
in the Trial Yesterday.

CHICAGO Jan 29.-The defense in the
Debs conspiracy trial received heavy
blow to-day in the adverse ruling of Judge
Grosscup on the point raised just before
adjournment yesterday while Oliver l.
Myron was on the stand. Counsel for the
defendants objected to the admission OF
evidence as to overt acts unless it could
be shown that they were done with the
knowledge and under directions OF the OFF,
GERS of the A. r. u. charged with having
Matched the conspiracy to obstruct the
mails. Judge Grosscup held that evidence
could be introduced tending to show that
a conspiracy existed to stop all trains. and
that this would include, necessarily, con-
spiracy to stop the United States mails;
in other words, that the greater conspiracy
would include in it's natural, reasonable
and inevitable result the less. Judge
Grosscup delivered his decision as soon. as
he came on the bench. Its import, as af-
fecting the chances of the defendants for
acquittal. was recognized instantly, and its
influence on defendants and their counsel
was marked for the time being.
George Beatty, an engineer of the Grand
Trunk, testified he hauling a combi-
nation mail, baggage and express car on
the evening of July 6. At o'clock he
was at Engelwood Station, when Hanna
han, then vice grand chief of the Locomo-
tive Firemen, mounted the engine and told
him he had better get off the engine. The
witness would not. Hannahan told him if
he gave him any CAB he would throw
him off the engine, and if he could not do 1t
there were many men on the platform who
would help to do it. Before leaving Hanna
han told him he would be killed if he re-
manned on the engine an hour longer.
Beatty was corroborats1a- by !. G.. Traill a
brakeman, and Hannahan denied the state-
ments of both men. He said he had tried
to induce the men to leave because he
was afraid they would be hurt by strikers.
The remainder of the day was taken up
in hearing testimony regarding the meeting
at Blue Island, where DebS, Howard and
others urged the Rock Island men to strike.
Nothing material was brought out.

the most significant of which was the pas
senger gang plank. 1t was discovered en-
bedded in the ice four miles south of this
port, two miles off shore. It chopped
out of the ice and was intact. Wreckage
was found at intervals in the ice. Some of
1t was 50 firmly embedded and SO large that
removal was impossible. Both foremost and
Inainmast We're found near together. The
latter was not chopped away, it was dis
covered after careful examination, but had
been broken of at or near the main deck, just
below which it rested on stops This por-
ton of the mast was in fairly good condf-
ton. The foremost told story of hard
struggle with the elements. 1t had evident

before the upper works We're swept away,
and being held to the hulk by guy ropes, bat

away. Then the gang plank was found. 1t
was hoped that this important alticle of the

the wreck. The only marks were dark red
SPOTS. Their meaning was painfully clear to
the seamen who surrounded the plank. Tho
party continued south five miles, when dark
ness made a return to lard necessary.

day a large demonstration was held, in
which hundreds of young men from the
schools of medicine, law and other colleges
of this city took part, showing the patriot

the Guatemalan matter. To-day's demon

of organization, did not reach to what was
deemed fit proportions. The company
marched to the governors palace, where in
the presence of thousands of spectators,
addresses full of fire and well applauded
were delivered by leading students, and in
which they pledged their word as the young
men of the State to be on hand in an
emergency in which the general govern

Jefferson City is proceeding on

perform as a city of Missouri. There

to day shows that new streets are
being substantially paved and the
old ones repaired. Sewers are be-

on the new bridge to be built across
the Missouri river is in active pro-
gress and the whole town is indulg-
ing in the delirium of the newly
found joy which came as the natural
results of a united effort to accom-
plish a great work.
Financially, Jefferson City has
always been one of the solidest of
Missouri towns. There isn't q

is n of the most hospitable of
