GOVERNMENT WINS VICTORY IN
REBATE PROSECUTIONS AT
MILWAUKEE.
CASE AGAI.tST THE SEVERAL DE
PENDANTS GOES TO TRIAL
ONiTS MERITS.

Milwaukee, Dec. 29.-The United
States government won the first vic
tory In the private car rebate prose
cution against the Pabst Brewing
company, the Milwaukee Refrigerator
Transit company and six railroad com
panies.
Judge A. l.. Sanborn of Madison
handed decision overruling the de-
murrers of the Chicago, Rock Island
and Pacific Railway company and the
Pabst Brewing company and also de
MED the motion of the latter to strike
out certain "slanderous allegations" in
the complaint.
There Is no appeal from this de-
cision and the case must now go to a
trial on its merits.
The courts conclusions are lengthy
occupying fourteen typewriter pages,
On the motion to strike out the para
graph in the complaint objected to by
the brewing company the court says:
"It has been shown that the question
of intent of the brewing company, the
transit company and the common car
riers Is a material and vital issue In
the case. Where an act Is clearly un-
lawful, with or without intent, proof
is excluded. But in case Of an equivo,
cal act. which is unlawful if so intend
ed though not otherwise, evidence OF
unconnected facts is admissible to
show the intent"

PREVIOUS REPORTS CONFIRMED
State Department Has Further Ad
vices From Santo Domingo.

Washington, Dec. 29.-The state de-
partment has had another brief dis
patch from Santo Domingo confirming
the preceding report to the effect that
President Morales was said to be
about fifteen miles west of San Do,
mingo city fighting the troops of the
cabinet.
Mr.. Joubert, the Dominican minister
here, called upon Secretary Root at
the state department to talk over Do
minican affairs. Mr.. Joubert had moth
ing to indicate that President Morales
had been wounded nor did he think
that the fighting reported to have
taken place near Jaima was serious.
He doubted very much whether Mo-
rales intended to start another revOiu-
tion. 1t was probable, he thought, that
Morales would wait for time to see
what effect the upheaval In Santo Do
mingo would have upon the relations
between that country and the United
States In the minister's opinion the
modus vivendi under which Dominican
customs revenues are now being col
lected by Americans appointed by the
Dominican aesident for that purpose
will not be affected by Morales retire
ment, for the dominant party in the
cabinet still stands strongly to the
existing arrangement.

BOYCOTT NOT DIMINISHING.
Number Of American Houses in China
Close Their Doors.

S'SoS s"S" SSSf
San Francisco, Dec. 29.-According
to latest reports received here from
the Orient the boycott in China has
become SO serious that number OF
American houses have closed their
doors until the conditions change.
There arrived here from the Orient
on the steamer Coptic r. Van SAINT,
who represented local firm at Shang-
hal. Mr.. Van SAINT, in speaking Of the
boycott, said:
THE situation in China Is very seri-
Gus and there Is absolutely nothing In
the stories that the feeling against
American goods has lessened. 1t has
now extended to seventeen provinces
and in Canton and Hankow the situa-
tion is just as bad as in Shanghai.
The Americans are not doing 20 per
cent of the business they formerly did
and at Hongkong the Chinese were
purchasing Australian -four at much
higher price than that quoted by Amer
leans.
"The Chinese state that they will
not trade with the Americans until
there Is a modification Of the exclusion
laws, but this, told them, was hardly
probable. In the event Of the United
States failing to pass law less
stringent than the present one the
Chinese will adopt more drastic meas
ures. The boycott has developed into
an anti-foreign feeling and the British
and German business concerns in the
Orient are suffering the loss of con-
siderable trade"

SAY SHE WAS INSANE.
Doctors Testify In the Brennan Murder
Case.

Minneapolis, Dec. 29.-Expert testi-
mony was introduced during the day
by the defense In the case of Mrs.
Stella Brennan, on trial for the muir
der of three stepchildren. Doctors u.
G. Williams, ]. Bartlett and e. J.
Clark were sworn in turn and testi-
fed first, that Mrs. Brennan is in a
delicate condition, and, second, that If
she committed the terrible crime of
which she is accused she was, in their
opinion, insane. On cToss-examination
however, each OF the experts testified
that she is sane now; that she knows
the difference between right and
wrong and that she may have known
the difference when she committed
the crime.

TO REVISE FOOTBALL RULES.
Representatives of Sixty-eight Colleges
at Meetina.

New York, Dec. 29.-Representa-
tives of sixty-eight colleges and uni,
versities met here during the day to
revise the rules of football. The aim
of the conference, as stated by Chan
cellor MacCracken of New York uni.
versity, who called 1t to order, was to
eliminate brutality from the game. To
make such rules effective he proposed
that a national collegiate association
be formed. President Woodrow Will
son of Princeton, In letter express
ing his regret at his inability to at
tend, urged upon the conference three
reforms:
First-That interference In playing
be abolished.
Second The abolition Of paid
coaches.
Third-That the number of intercol-
legiate games be shortened.

ONsURREcTIoN AT MOSCOW RAP.
IDLY BEING CRUSHED OUT
sY THE GOVERNMENT.
lEyoLu1IoHIsTs KEPT on THE MOVE
UNABLE TO ANY LONGER OFFER
DETERMINED OPPOSITION
TO REGULAR TROOPS.

Moscow, Dec. 29.-The backbone OF
the insurrection is broken and the up
rising here is rapidly going to pieces.
The revOlutionists are able to keep
up only a guerrilla warfare, but the
ease with which they can move small
attachments from place to place rem
aers the task Of suppressing them
slow and uedious. The Brunnaia quar-
ter has been cleared Of the members
Of the "drujina," as the fighting or
ganization Of the revolutionists Is
called. They have transferred their
operations to East Tverskaia, consist
ing principally of sniping from the
roofs of houses, occasionally throwing
q bomb on advancing patrols and max
ing off on the appearance of artillery.
All the troops of the Moscow garrison,
including the former disaffected Ros-
ton grenadiers and the reinforcements
which are employed in crushing the
revolutionists, are still insufficient to
thoroughly occupy the territory won,
thus enabling the revolutionists to
slip into vacated territory SO soon as
the troops move on. Many of the at
tacks on patrols are seemingly made
out of pure spirit Of brayado, since
they are completely futile from a
strategic standpoint. The remnants OF
the insurrection now lack cohesion or
q head.
City Resembles Battlefield.
The city of Moscow bears the pic
turesque appearance of a battlefield.
Officers are everywhere seen galloping
through the streets or being driven
about in rapidly moving sleighs, ac-
companied by escorts Of dragons or
COssacks. The center Of the city for
the first time shows signs OF life. The
stores are reopened and the inhab-
itants, who had been cooped up for
tive days, were venturing out for
breath OF fresh air.
The troops began operations during
the morning at the triumphal arch,
bombarding and demolishing an I'M
mense barricade near the car stables
OF the Belgian company, which had
been built behind overturned tram
cars. Thence, slowly pivoting from
the arch, the columns swept eastward.

and north of the boulevard, which sep

cades. After firing few shots they

Little Likelihood OF an Uprising IN
st. Petersburg.

st. Petersburg. Dec. 29.-The ener-
getic measures taken by the govern
ment have completely overturned the
plans OF the revolutionists In st. Pc
tersburg. Practically all the leaders
have been arrested. The few who are

believe they have captured most OF
the stores cf rifles and revolvers.
Wherever arms were found the own
