nection with the capture of a fort held
by the Moro outlaws, which Major

tempted to secure by peaceful means
several months ago.
Recently while attempting to secure
recruits on the island the kindly means
taken by Major Scott were mistaken
by the surrounding Moros and, trouble
brewing, necessitated forcible action.

UNSUCCESSFUL EFFORT TO BLOW
UP MONUMENT OF FRED.
ERick THE GREAT.
RECENT GIFT OF 6ERnAM EMPEROR
EMPLoYE OF WAR COLLEGE RE-
MOVES FUSE BEFORE Ex-
PLosIoN OCCURS.

washington, Jan. 11.-An unsuccess-
ful attempt was made during the day
by one or more civilians to blow up
the statue of Frederick the Great. re-
Gently presented to this government
by the emperor of Germany and now
standing in the war college grounds.
A charge of explosives, with light
cd fuse, was attached to the fence sur
rounding the statue, but was removed
by an employe before it exploded. No
damage resulted to the statue or to
property or persons.
Prompt measures were taken to de-
tain the perpetrators of the crime be-
fore they left the grounds, but they
did not succeed. The police authori-
ties have been notified and all avail
able information is being placed be-
fore them with q view to arresting the
guilty parties.
The police authorities have located
the carriage in which the party who
attempted to blow up the statue was
conveyed to the vicinity, but have not
yet located the culprit. The driver of
, the carriage who conveyed the man
to the statue says that he received his
passenger at the Pennsylvania rail-
road station; that he left the carriage
apparently to take photograph Of
the statue; that he left the carriage
en- route back to the depot and made
his way toward the river front. The
police are searching for the man.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 31.-The su'
preme court of the United States yea
terday decided the case of the United
States versus Swift & Co. known as
the beef trust case, charging conspir'
acy among the packers to fix prices
on fresh meats, etc. The opinion was
handed down by Justice Holmes and
affirmed the decision Of the court be
low, which was against the packers
In his opinion Justice Holmes dis
cussed at length the various conten-
tons Of the packers and disposed OF
them individually. He admitted that
some Of the charges were less SPECIFIC
than desirable, but said this was nee.
essarily true, on account Of the vast
extent Of the field covered. He added
that sufficient had been shown to
prove continuous offenses and an Of.
Tense Of such nature to justify the
proceeding.
The opinion continues the injunction
granted against the packers under the
Sherman antitrust law by the lower
courts. The opinion was concurred in
by all the members Of the court.

General Moody said.
Il was present in court when the
synopsis of the decision was stated

UP TO LEGISLATURE.
Throwing Out All Votes in Fraud Pre-
cincts Would Eelect Peabody

Denver Jan. S1-The examination
of ballots in this county on behalf of
Mr.. Peabody has been completed. The
experts reports showed that 29,141
votes we're cast in 104, precincts, OF
which 19,161 were for Adams and 9,S11
for Peabody. The experts reported
7,S0S democratic ballots and 1920 re-
publican fraudulent, as they were writ
ten by one to four persons. If the leg
islature should take Peabody's original
petition and throw out the entire vote
of these precincts Governor Peabody's
plurality in the state would be 1920.
If, however, the legislature should de-
duct the ballots alleged to be fraudu-
lent from the good ones, Governor
Adams would still have plurality OF
2.1S6.
