WOMAN FIGHTS WITH

BRUTALLY BEATEN
Attacked on West Fifth Street,
She Keeps AssaiIants Busy
Until Aid Arrives Angry Mob
Searches forthe Desperadoes.

Two men. who succeeded in making
their escape, brutality attacked wom-
an in an attempt to rob her of her
purse last night, at 10:45 o'clock. on
West Fifth street, near Fort street.
The woman desperately resisted her
assailants and succeeded in beating
them off, while her frantic shrieks for
help aroused the residents of the
neighborhood, who rushed from their
houses and congregated upon the
street in an angry mob. The two foot
pads, meeting with an unexpected re-
verse at the hands of the wornan. and
frightened by the people who came to
her assistance. abandoned their bold
project and dashed across the street,
escaping through a lumber yard.
Crowd Quickly Gathers.
The crowd attracted by the woman's
screams found her suffering severely as
result Of the beating she had re-
ceived. Two front teeth were broken,
she had deep gaSh across her Iore-
head and another across her cheek.
The cuts were inflicted with club.
Infuriated by the evidence of the
violence of the men, the crowd spread
in all directions in quest. of them. The
lumber yard was searched. but the men
were not found. they having succeeded
in making their escape through one of
the buildings facing on Seventh street.
So excited were the searchers that
had they found the ruffians they would
have suffered at their hands. Threats
of lynching were made, and the fierce
anger of the searchers indicated that
had they succeeded in capturing the
fugitives the threats would have been
executed.
The woman. in the excitement Of the
search, departed up Fifth street before
her name could be learned. She was
about forty years old and stout. She
was we'll dressed and apparently q

strange chariot laden with forty dead

palace at dawn a few days ago.
Some young officers and students of
the military school, inspired by the
Belgrade assassfnations, had plotted to
kidnap the sultan and force him to abb
dicate in favor of his youngest brother,
Djoubati Bey. The plot failed because
of the vigilance Of Pasha Ali Mohamet,
who watches over the sultan's sleep.
The Albanian guard surrounded the
conspirators and cut them to pieces.
The number of bodies carried away
clandestinely is said to have been more
than 800.

most authoritative expositions of the
legal questions presented govern his
decision.
1.-The contention that because it was
to the pecuniary interest of the incor-
porators of the Northern Securities
company to consolidate the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific sys-
TENS" says Judge Lochren, "such con-
solidation was actually made, is re-
jected on-the ground that an act to ad-
vance pecuniary interest cannot be
held to imply intent to commit penal
offense"
The claim of the counsel for the
state that the acquisition OF a major
ity of the stock of any railroad is in
fact purchase of that road. is contro-
verted in the decision.
The question as to whether the or
ganizing of the Northern Securities
company was in violation of the state
law prohibiting the formation Of trusts
is discussed at considerable length, and
it is held that the application Of the
state law must be the same as that OF
the Sherman anti trust act. in respect
to railroads. Judge Lochren cites the
fact that the proper construction OF
the Sherman antitrust act Is held to
be that contracts not directly and nee
essarily affecting transportation or
rates thereof are not in restraint or
trade or within the statute. though
they may remotely appear to have the
same probable effect in that direction.
The decision distinctly holds that
nothing the Northern Securities COM
pany has done can directly or indl-
rectly affect trade. commerce. trans
portation or rates. and that therefore

statute.
Every phase of the case is exhaust

KING EDWARD MAKES
IN UNPOPULAR MOVE
Two Famous American Members of
the Royal Academy Checkmate
Britain's Ruler.

BFltaln'S RuIer.
LONDON, Dec. 19.-How J. S. Sar-
gent and Edwin A. Abbey. the two IA
nous American members of the Royal
Academy, recently managed to upset
a pet project of King Edwards can be
told for the first time on the authority
Of a Royal Academician. 1t seems
that the King was especially anxious
to have Emil Fuchs, the portrait
painter, made a n---nber of the acad-
emy, and that Sargent and Abbey
found means of preventing the royal
wish from being carried out. Ever
since Fuchs designed the new postage
stamps, which bear the Kings head
and which most people think any,
thing but artistic-and made the
drawings for the coronation medal.
Edward VII is said to have been re-
markably keen" on him, and the
sovereign has spent a lot OF time in
the artists studio in Devonshire street.
Not long ago it popped into the
royal head that Fuchs ought to be a
Royal Academician and the result
was a letter to the famous society of
Burlington House to the effect that
his Majesty would be pleased to see
the appointment made. That letter
made trouble. According to the in
dormant the members of the Royal
Academy did not think Fuchs entitled
to become one of their number, but
they were in no end of a quandary as to
how they could get out of making the
appointment without offending the
King. In their perplexity, however.
some of the more prominent academi-
clans went to Messrs. Sargent and Ao-
hey and asked for a su--estion, which
was promptly given.
The two American artists, who, of
course, are quite the biggest guns in
the English art world at present,
promptly sat down and wrote to the
King stating that if Mr.. Fuchs vas
