tons to Be Made Law.

Washington, June 1S.--Representa
tive Bell, of Colorado, has introduced
trust bill in the house covering the
recommendations of the Industrial
commission, of which he was a

Officers of Cruiser Chicago not
Intoxicated.
WERE URGEDTOSO PLEAD
Declined to Do So Even at the Urgent
Request of Consul Johnson-sequel
to the Much Talked of Affair at
Venice.

London, June 18.-The text of the
findings of the court of inquiry in the
case of the United States naval Off
GERS imprisoned at Venice in April
throws new and important light on
the affair. 1t now appears that Unit
ed States Consul Johnson at Venice,
and a lawyer provided by him for the
defense, urged the officers to plead
that they were violently drunk. This
they utterly declined to do.
Rear Admiral Crowinshield, in re-
viewing the findings of the court, Sc.
verely censures Captain Dayton, the
commander of the Chicago, for not
personally attending to the defense of
the officers and comments on the re
voting indignities" suffered by the of.
ficers while confined at Venice. I'm
der the circumstances Crowninshield
holds the "courtmartial would be a
farce Dayton's court of inquiry mi
nutely traces the movements of the of
ficers of the Chicago on the day Of
their arrest and says Lieut.. Doddridge
and Surgeon Ledbetter were affected
by liquor to noticeable extent but
were not intoxicated in the ordinary
meaning of the term, and there is nc
evidence that the other parties were
affected by drinking"

wilkesbarre, June 1S.-The anthra-
cite strike situation here has resolved
itself into complete deadlock. The
strike leaders say they have succeeded

but the campaign is not yet completed.

be called upon If it is found necessary
and they say further that suggestion
was made that the American Fedora
ton Of Labor will be called upon to re-
quest the great army of American
workmen affiliated with the national
organization to suspend operations
three. days to force a crisis. This
would result in tie up of the coun-
try's industries for half week.

mains unchanged. The miners report
more men cut. The company officials
on the contrary, claimed that they are
increasing ther forces around the col
lieries. There is mysterious all
about the strike headquarters. Nit.
chell was unusually reticent. A num-
Der of men attacked coal and iron po-
