.SCORNS OFFER OF 'LENIENCY.
MRS. SMITH STICKS TO HER
SISTER" IN THE. PATTER-
SON TRIAL.

New, York, April 29.-The direct ex-
animation of Mrs. Smith was resumed
during the day in the Nan Patterson
trial. In the course of his examina-
tion Mr.. Rand asked Mrs. Smith if she
had possessed all the information she
has testified to in this trial all the
time since she left New York last June.
Mrs Smith replied that she would like
to answer the question, but feared it
would tend to degrade and incriminate
her, as she is under Indictment for
conspiracy. The prosecutor then prom
1sed that it she would answer he would
move next Monday to quash the in
dictment against her, but she declined
to do so until she had an opportunity
to confer with her counsel.
After she had consulted with her
counsel Mrs. Smith declined to answer
the question. 81 must stick to my sis
ter she told the prosecuting attorney
as she resumed the stand.
And you refuse to answer notwith-
standing my promise in open court to
have the Indictment against you
quashed?" asked Mr.. Rand.
Il do"
Again, ask you, were you in New
York Cn June 8?''
Persists in Her Refusal.
i decline to answer because my re-
sponse might tend to degrade and in,
criminate me-
Recorder Golf directed the witness to
answer the question, saying that it
called for an answer. She still de-
clined to do so. saying: 81 must stick
to my sister,
will you answer if the indictment
for conspiracy on which you are held
Is dismissed now?" broke in Mr.. Rand.
mo, replied the witness.
The ordeal in the courtroom proved
almost too much for Nan Patterson.
The resolute manner in which Mrs.
Smith refused to answer questions put
to her by the prosecuting attorney and
her declarations that she would stand
by her sister affected the prisoner
deeply and she was near a breakdown
when the luncheon adjournment was
announced. Mrs. Smith appeared to
be unstrung as a result of her expert
sence as we'll and the two women spent
recess in their cells in the Tombs
weeping in each Others arms.
The prosecution rested its case at
the afternoon session

PLOT is DISCOVERED.
Attempt to Dynamite Home Of Mine
Superintendent

3
Calumet, Mich, April 28.-A daring
attempt to blow up the home of Super
intendent Smith of the Wolverine
mine, the probable motive of the
would-be assassins being the destruc-
tion of his family, was frustrated by
the timely discovery of thirty.one
sticks of dynamite piled against the
house. The deadly explosive, which
in quantity was sufficient to destroy a
good sized town, was found near the
point where another batch of sticks
was discovered last week. 1t was
thought then that an attempt to dam
age the interurban trolley line had
been found, but it is now believed that
this dose, too, was intended for the
mine superintendent. The plot is
thought to have been the work OF men
disgruntled by the failure of a recent
strike at the Wolverine mine.

come of Naval Battle.

London, April 29.-The news of the
resumption of fighting in Manchuria
is supposed here to show that the
Japanese have now decided not to
await the issue of the impending naval
contest but to utilize the few weeks
intervening between the drying up Of
the thaWed winter roads and the ar
rival of summer rains in June for the
resumption Of the land campaign. The
completion of the railway to Mukden
Will greatly simplify Field Marshal
Oyama's task of provisioning his vast
army and will thus facilitate the re-
newal Of hostilities.
No further news has been received
Of either Rojestvensky's or Neboga-
toff's squadrons. The report is con.
firmed that the submarine cable has
been cut at Hainan; but according to
the Daily Telegraph's S correspondent at
Toxic the Japanese authorities have
learned that the Russians are using
Hainan as base.

INJUNCTION AGAINST STRIKING
CHICAGO TRANSFERS ISSUED
BY JUDGE KoHLsAAT.
REGULAR TROOPS MAY Be CALLED OUT
RNMENT EXPECTED TO EN-.
FORCE RESTRAINING ORDER
If CALLED UPON.

Chicago, April 29.-Judge G.. G. Kohl
saat Of the United States cirS..t court
has granted an injunction to the EN-
ployers' Association of Chicago, re.
straining all persons from interfering
with the movements of the associa-
tion's wagons upon the street or in any
way obstructing the business OF mem.
bers Of the association. The iniunc-
t1on is temporary and returnable May
l. 1t is specifically directed against
the teamsters' joint council OF Chicago.
The injunction was issued on the
grounds that the Employers Teaming
company is corporation organized in
West Virginia and being a corporation
OF foreign state has the right of pro-
lection under the federal government,
Immediately following the granting
of the injunction the members of the
Chicago Employers association pia,
carded all of it's wagons with notices
reading as follows:
THE United States circuit court has
enjoined interference of any kind with
this property and it's drivers"
United States Marshal Ames said. Z
''Any violation of the injunction will
come under the jurisdiction of the fed
eral court. If necessary special deputy
marshals will be sworn in in large
numbers If the disturbances and vio-
lations continue and the E1arshals
office is unable to cope with defendants
the federal government viii ha ap:
piled to and it will use whatever
means it deems necessary to quell in
surrectiOn."
Federal Troops May Be Used.
In other words, when the actions of
the strikers have gone beyond control
of the marshal and the city police and
state troops cannot dominate the st
uatfon federal troops will be used to
maintain order.
Fifty negroes from the South, who
are going to take the places of the
strikers, arrived here in box car on
the Chicago, burlington and Quincy
railroad. They were placed in coal
wagons belonging to the Employers
Teaming company and taken to the
barns OF the j. V. Farwell company.
Occasional bottles and other missiles
were thrown from windows at the new
comers, but the negroes proved good
dodgers and escaped injury.
Employers during the day were ag-
gressive in operating with nOnuniOn
teamsters. Under the escort of sev.
enty policemen twenty-four wagons
were sent out from Marshall Field &
Co.'S stables, Notwithstanding that the
street in front of the companys barns
was crowded with teams and strike
sympathizers. NonuniOn teamsters on
the twenty-fOur wagons were jeered
and hooted by the mob, while num-
ber of teamsters wearing union but
tons attempted to form blocllades.
Prompt action by the police forced
passage through for the nonunion con-
yeyances.
Bullets flew during the afternoon in
an attempt by four colored nonunion
teamsters to overawe crowd OF
strike sympathizers. No one was i'll
jured by the shooting. The four ne
groes were put under arrest by the
police.
