HOPE OF ESCAPE
 FOR TRAIN ROBBERS
Ex-GoV. JOHNSTON SAYS THE BANDITS HAVE STRONG LEGAL DEFENSE AND MAY GET OFF WITH LIGHT PUNISHMENT.

St. Louis, November N.-Former Gov ernor Charles P. Johnson has been re- tained as counsel by Ben Fitzpatrick, which Is under arrest here charged with having in his possession forged bills on the National Bank of Helena and who is suspected of complicity in the robbery of a Great Western train near Wagner, Mont, last July, when the bills in uues- tion were stolen from the express car.
 "we will have a strong defense on all of the charges" said the Governor, "the charge of forgery will not stay. for there Is no forgery The names of the bank officers were not written thereon. The names written were purely fictitious.
 And the bank notes that he had in his possession signed by these fictitious names are not United States obligations for the fact that the correct names of the officials of the bank are required to make them government obligations. "The bills found In the possession of Fitzpatrick that were unsigned cannot be termed United States obligations for they lack the signatures to make them money. Tn fact we will be able to make very fair defense.'

ISSUES INJUNCTION.
Judge Mccarthy Makes an Order to
 Restrain Strikes.

Philadelphia, November 27.-Judge Mo- Carthy of the Common Pleas Court has issued an injunctrion against the Council of the Allied Building Trades, forbidding the Council or it's agents to instigate strikes at buildings where contractors em- ploy labor that is not affiliated with that organization.
 Judge Mccarthy also denied the right of the defendants to order contractors to discharge members of labor organiza- tions that are not affiliated with the Council of the Allied Trades. Further and specifically, he ordered them to re- frain from threats, expressed or implied, that employers would suffer loss by hir- ing the plaintiffs.
 The injunction proceeding was brought by Erdman and others who under threat of a strike were removed by General Contractirs Wells & Wells os Chicago, on April 22 last, from a building in course of erection. The plaintiffs were members of the Plumbers League, an organization not affiliated with the Building Trades Council, and their places were taken by United Association plumbers, who were members of the Building Trades Council.
 The case will probably be appealed.

AGAIN REPORTED DEAD.
Mss Stone Said to Have Died From
 Grief.

Washington, November H.-Secretary Hay received a dispatch from constanti- nople reporting a rumor that has reach ed there that Miss Ellen M. Stone, the American missionary who has been held captive by the Bulgarian brigands for several months and her companion in captivity, Mme Tsilka, are dead.
 The report, however, lacks confirmation and is not credited by either Spencer Eddy, the American charge at Constan- tinople, or MT. Dickinson, the consul gen. eral there. The reported death of Mime. Tsilka Is said to have been from child birth. and that of Miss Stone from grief. The story came from Salonica- Regard ing Mime.

There were developments In the case
of the abducted Myrtle Yost yesterday
that caused the father of the missing
girl to swear out warrants against
John Cline and Clayton Rogers, eharg-
ing them with seducing and making
away with his daughter.
Cline, who was out on $1,000 bail on
the other charges. was arrested near his
home in East Wheeling by Officer
Eskey. of Benwood, and taken to the
jail, where he was locked up.
Rogers came to the police station
and was arrested there. He also was
locked up Both are held without bail,
though there are unknown influences
behind Cline that would enable him to
give heavy bonds for his appearance.
IL developed during the day yester-
day that the girl was taken by her alb
ductors not only to Bellaire. but across
that city and thence up to the bridge
and across into the city of Wheeling.
The tracing of the girl and those con-
eerned in her disappearance is steadily
progressing, and will be pushed to but
one termination--the discovery OF the
girl living or dead.
There are indications that there are
others than Cline and Rogers connected
with the girl s appearance. and start
ling developments may be made at any
hour In the case
The father of the girl Is convinced
that his daughter has been murdered.
The developments do not thus far sup

and that Myrtle Yost. girl in her
