NOTED CRIMINAL MAY ESCAPE.
Arrest Of Woman at Chicago Affects
Criminals Trial

CHICAGO. January 5.-Through the time
ly arrest of Lena Bach, woman of many
aliases and self-confessed diamond thief;
Henry Hocman, reputed burglar and dia-
mond smuggler of international fame may
escape punishment in the United States
courts for crime which he is said to have
confessed to Agents Scanlan and Webb of
the secret service. Hoffman viii try to
show that the diamonds We're stolen from
house in New York.
Hoffman, who stands accused of SNUG
Cling two hundred diamonds through the
port of Boston, was arrested while dspos
ing of gems in Chicago
The government detectives say that Hoff-
man confessed to smuggling. When ar
raigned yesterday the prisoner entered a
plea of not guilty.
His basis for the plea lies in the recent ar
rest of Lena Bach as an aceomplice. The
woman confessed that she robbed a house
in New York of diamonds She said Hoff-
man merely met her some distance from
the house and helped to carry the booty.
If Hoffman can show that the woman's
story is true he viii escape punishment
here and 1t is believed that he will again
escape punishment If tried for robbery in
New York.

CINCINNATI, Ohio January 5-Mrs
Taggart, who suddenly departed from
Wooster. Ohio, recently with her two sons
who had been awarded to the father, Capt
e. F. Taggart after Ale secured a divorce,
has been positively located in Campbell
county, KY where she can probably re-
main SO long as she wishes, according to a
statement made in Newport today. Mrs
Taggart and her sons were reported as be-
ing with friends at Alexandria, KY but
her friends prevented attempts to verify the
report until today. when Judge Albert
Berry of the Campbell county circuit court
in Newport, whose daughter is one of Mrs
Taggart's close friends said
II have positively refused to give the To-
cation of Mrs. Taggart and her children.
They are within the jurisdiction of my
court and / propose to protect them.
1.-The manner in which Mrs Taggart had
been treated and was being bounded was
worse than would be meted out to a dan
gerous criminal, instead of a mother who,
through love for her children. seeks to keep
possession of them.

COMPLAINTS NOT SUSTAINED.
Interstate Commissions Decision in
St. Louis Hay and Grain Case.

In all opinion by Chairman Knapp, the
interstate commerce commission today an
nounced its decision in the case of the St
Louis Hay and Grain Company against the
Illinois Central Railroad Company and the
Mobile and Ohio Railroad Company in favor
of the railroads.
1t was held that the fact that through
rates are less than the sum of in-and-out
rates Is not of itself a valid ground of OBJ
lection, nor is it unlawful for the defend
ants to maintain reconsignment rates, which
are higher in some cases than their pro-
portions of through rates and also that the
fact that the reconsignment rate is some
times the same as the proportion of the
other rate does not warrant an inference OF
Illegal conduct or support a charge of dis
elimination.

Resolution in Regard to the Combina-
tion Of Four Railroads.

A resolution was introduced In the House
this afternoon by Mr.. Reeder of Kansas
directing the Attorney General to investi-
gate whether combination In restraint of
trade and in violation OF the Sherman act
has been entered into between the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad. the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad
and the Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern
railway. The allegation has frequently
been made that the management of these
roads is SO closely allied as to lead to the
assumption that there may be community of
interest among them which might bring
them within the purview of the antitrust
laws.
Mr.. Reeder's resolution is designed TO
elicit through the proper channels fnforma-
ton upon this subject and as to whether
the reports are well founded or not.

Neither the Senate nor the House has a

there is a sentiment demanding an inquiry,
but only the Senate has adopted resolu-
ton ordering it. Chairmen Hale and Foss
of the Senate and House naval committees
and Secretary Bonaparte of the Navy De-

relation to procedure. Senator Hale prefers
a Joint investigation. while Representative
