Pittsburg, Pa, August 22-Aside from the partial equipment of the Star Plant of the American Tin Plate Company and the preparation for It's im- mediate resumption of business. there were no special developments in the strike situation in this city today. The Amalgamated people point with pride to the conduct of their members in restrain ing themselves from vengeance when they see non-unionists being marched in- to the mills to take their places.
 The steel men are highly pleased with their success in manning the Star plant, and say that if the men they secure are not molested, 1t is but short time until all of their mills will in full operation and doing good work.

COLUMBIA BEAT THE CONSTITUTION Good Sound Drubbing Given the Defender by the
 Old Boat

Oyster Bay, L. T., August 22.-The Co., lumbia gave the Constitution a good,
 sound beating today twice around the
 Seawahaka triangular course In cor rected time the old boat won by two minutes and five seconds, and elapsed to by one minute and thirty-nine seconds But the figures do not represent the de- cisiveness of the Columbia's victory. for as a matter of fact she beat the new boat twice. The first itme around the triangle of fourteen and three-quarter miles the Columbia gained five minutes. Then shift of wind on the short leg across the sound put the Constitution upon even terms when a new race was practically started, the breeze now com ing through again. This time the Colum- bia gained over a minute and a half. It was day, of huky sound breezes. but if either boat got any advantage from the frequent change in the wind 1t was the Constfution. The new boat did not seem to have any of the speed she has shown in light airs.
 With the international contest less than month away, todays race reopens the whole cup defender proposition and the yachtsmen are guessing again.

HOW CASE WAS HEARD,
 A SPEEDY TRIAL
Crowd Was Good Humored at First. Incidents of the Pro-
 ceedings.

As related by Judge John Inzer. it has oner was tried under an armed guard in the St. Clair county court house. In the former case men were given weapons to defend an innocent man and today their guns were loaded to preserve the life of a guilty wretch. The temple of Justice is a two-story brick structure and 1t has stood for almost a good half cen tury. It will probably stand for another fifty years without being an inanimate actor in such stormy scenes as were writ ten in history today.
 By o'clock this morning there were a hundred mules and horses hitched to the iron fence which surrounds the court house. Their riders were surg1ng about the front of the building. By g o'clock when court was due to convene the army of animals was increased to several hum dred and the army of human beings that beat on the door for admittance num- bered just that many more. It was a good-natured crowd at this hour. Nothing more ominous was seen than a stick of dynamite in the coat pocket of a sturdy countryman with the fust bulging out of the top of a piece of brown wrap ping paper. One newspaper correspond ent remarked to another that 1t would be safer to hold his cigarette further from the fuse and there was a laugh. The stick of dynamite, enough to anni- hilate the assembly, was forgotten as the crowd became denser and more urgent in it's demands for admittanca But still there were no real symptoms of an out break.

Several news paper correspondents sought admittance. They struggled up the steps to almost within reaching distance of the deputy on duty at the top of the stairs. A good naJtured looking man was asked to pass their cards up Certainly he would do so. The names were written on one card and he made his way to the top, but in stead of saying the correspondents were in waiting he represented himself as a

correspondent. The sham was discovered and there was more laughter.
 At 9:30 o'clock the doors were thrown open and the crowd rushed in pell mell. Sheriff North admonished them time and again ito come in quietly" but they came in as best suited them, and instead of sit ting down they stood on the heavy benches, which looked more fit for coun- try church than court room. Several men mounted a ladder in the back of the room and viewed the proceedings from this point of vantage. The audience jam med right up to the railing, which cut off the prisoner and court officials, and lean- ed over the heads of the guards who were distributed about in 0 half circle within the enclosure.
 Deputies From SprIngviIIe.
 A majority of the special deputies were from Springville, where the outrage was committed, and 1t was gossiped about that they had sworn that the men who were most injured would be first to see that the law was not violated. A roster of the guards follows: D. F. Osborn, G. T. Jones, M. G. Williams, s. O. Fowler, G. M Moody. W. T. Jones' J. K. Simmons, J. w. Gates, J. Wood, T. c. Jones, W. M.

Wilson, M. M. Allison, J. R. Foreman.
 Snapshot of Brown.
 Brown was asked to stand up in front of a window and James L. Herring took snapshot of him. Correspondents crowd ed about him to ask if he would go on the stand. He seemed very much confused or was either feigning ignorance "Do you want me to tell you story. Do you want me to tell you lie?" That was all that could be gotten out of him. He watched the crowd intently. but not more intently than they watched him.
 Circuit Solicitor T. W. Coleman i. ard County Solicitor W. H. Cother conducted the case for the state, and Judge Inzer and J. A. Embry appeared for the de- fendant
 Probate Judge Foreman announced that all boys under 16 years of age must get out of the room Some of them went out and others remained. Officers passed through the audience, inquiring as to ages, and every one was over Is. At 9:55 o'clock Sheriff North called the court to order Witnesses answered present, and the work of impaneiing a jury was be- gun. The regular panel included twenty four, and the special thirty-five. Only seventeen names were called. Two were excused by the court and three by the State. The defense did not offer an objec- tion. The jury as made up was as fol- lows:

NO WAR EXISTS,
 SAYS COLOMBIA

Washington. August 22.-The Colombian minister, pr. Martinez Silva today dis cussed the dispatches received by the As- socia.ted Press from President Castro of Venezuela, through his secretary and from President A1afo of Redo.
 ''The chief point to be noticed" said pr. Silva lis that the messages do not treat war as existing. The messages from Alafo states that war between Colombia and Venezuela Is improbable. As this dis hatch from Quito is dated August 2l, 1t seems to dispose of the reports of sew eral days ago. saying that an Ecaudoran army was about to invade Colombia ana fight battle near Paste.
 ."The dispatch from General Castro's secretary also indicates clearly that no war exists. It states that the conserva- lives of Colombia have resolved 10 assist in a revolutionary movement against Venezuela and her government. From this it will be observed that the basis or the affairs Is a revolutionary movement against Venezuela, and of course such movement Is an international affair Of Venezuela with which Colombia has no concern.
 q am perfectly sure that in the revo- lutions in Venezuela there is not one Co., lombian. I am also well informed that the Colombian authorities on the frontier have made the utmost efforts to prevent Colombian territory from being made the base for revolutionary movements in the Venezuela affair.

The report was started that the men were strike breakers, and large crowd followed them, jeering and hootlng. A stop was made and four of the negroes alighted. Before they could get back the vehicle started, and the men had to walk across the bridge. A crowd of probably 200 men followed them, and when about midway across attacked them. The negroes were roughly handled, but none of them were seriously hurt.
