ATLANTA WINS CASE.
Supreme Court Decides Against "PiV
 Line Trust"

Supreme Court Decides Against ''PiDe
 Line Trust"
 Washington, Dec. S-The Supreme Court of the United States today decid- ed the case of the City of Atlanta, Ga, against the so-called "Pipe Trust" in favor of the city.
 The title of the case as it was present. ed to the court was The Chattanooga Foundry and Pipe Works and the South Pittsburg Pipe Company vs. The City of Atlanta, the case coming to this court in pursuance of an effort by the pipe manufacturers to secure the reversal of decision by the Circuit Court of Appeals, which was unfavorable to them. The suit was instituted by the city under the sherman antitrust law on the complaint that by the combina- tion of the manufacturers the munich paIity had been compelled to pay an ex- cess of $15,OOO over a fair price on or- ders for pipe amounting to $56,O00. The city asked damages in the sum of $45,- 900, or three times the amount of loss. but the Court of Appeals, affirming decision by the Circuit Court for East Tennessee allowed only $7.000.
 The essential violation of the law al- legged was that all the pipe makers had so manipulated their bids as to throw the contracts to the Anniston Pipe and Foundry Company, of Annis- ton, Ala, rendering that company's bids the lowest offered, notwithstanding tEey were still exorbitant.

MINERS ARE HELD.
SUPREME COURT OF LAND DECIDES
 CASE.
Mover Hayward and Pettibone, Accused of Conspiracy to XIII Governor Stcunenberg Must Stay in
 Idaho Prison.

Washington, Dec. 3.--The Supreme Court of the United States today de- cided the habeas corpus cases or Mover. Hayward and Pettibone. the representatives of the Western Federa- tion of Miners, who are now held Tn prison in Idaho on the charge of com plicity in the murder of former GOV ernor Steunenburg, adversely to tHe men.
 The opinion was by Justice Harlan. The effect of the decision will be to continue to hold the men in confine- ment for trial in Idaho.
 or the man Involved, Charles Ii. Mover is President; w. D. Hayward Secretary and Treasurer, and 1eorse A. Pettibone, a member of the west ern Federation of Miners. They are now in prison in Canon County, loaho, under charge of murdering former Covernor Stuenenberg of that State although it was not charged that they were present when the crime was com mitted.
 The cases came to this court on an appeal from a decision of the ldaho Federal Court refusing to grant writs of habeas corpus. Justice Harlan sald that in the habeas corpus proceedlnss in the United States Courts the method of extradition of the defendants was not material. The merits of the case were not involved as that phase was not presented. The only question there involved was the right of the State courts 10 proceed with the cases of which there could be no doubt.
 Justice McKenna delivered dissent ing opinion, holding that Mover, Hay ward and Pettibone had right to in- yoke the aid of the Federal courts to correct improper methods used in se- curing their extradition. He said that Kidnapping under the law Is no more to be justified than when performed outside the law.

 ED IN PENSACOLA.

 SWayne.s

Pensacola, Fla, Dec. 3--(Special)- Twenty witnesses were examined in the United States Court today in the case of w. S. Harlan, ct al., charged with con spiracy to commit peonage, and not withstanding the fact that all of these witnesses were for the defense, the case of the government was not weak ened, and in the opinion of many, was strengthened to some extent, especially in one instance. when a defendant wit ness. Charles Greenfield, in cross exam ination stated that he heard Robert Gallagher, one of the defendants, say, when he wIta beating the Bulgarian Gordmans. 'I.I teach you to run away" "
 Other witnesses, however, all Of whom are employees or former employees, gave the Jackson Lumber Company a most excellent name, and said that 1t was one of the model camps of the South, where the men came and went without restraint upon the part Of the fosemen, and where sleeping accommo- dations were good. the food wholesome and plentiful, and the pay as good as can be secured in any of the camps or the South.
 The company employs, in various de- partments, over one thousand men, and those of the employees who came here to testify, had no complaint whatever to make regarding treatment.
 A lively tilt occurred late in the af- ternoon between Judge Swayne and Judge L. J. Reeves, the latter con ducting the exemaination of witnesses for the defense. About o'clock the defense announced that it had no more witnesses ready, and would have to de- lay further proceedings until witnesses could reach here from Lockhart.
 Judge Swayne immediately told counsel that the defense knew Satur- day it's witnesses would be heard Mon day. and had ample time in which to procure all of them. and he could see no reason for delaying the court.
 After some discussion, however the court finally announced that adjourn raent would be taken until Tuesday

PosTPoNEs THAw TRIAL.
Commission WIII Take Testimony Out
 of New York.

Commission WilI Take Testimony Out
 of New York.
 New York Dec. 3.--A motion of coun- sel for Harry K. Thaw that commits sion be appointed to take the testimony of witnesses out of the State was granted by Judge Newburger in the Supreme Court today. It will be an interrogatory commission and testi- mony will be taken of witnesses for both the prosecution and defense.
 The motion was made by Clifford W. Hartridge, one of Thaw's counsel, who named as the witnesses whose testi- mony is desired, Thomas McCaleb and Truxton Beale, both of whom, he said, are in California. District Attorney Jerome told Justice Newburger he had no objection to the appointment of a commission to take testimony, pro- viding it be allowed to take the tes- timony of witnesses for the prosecu- tion who are outside the State MT. Jerome said hc wanted the testimony of the mother. brother and sister of the defendants wife, and, possibly, that sof a witness who Is now in South Africa.
 As the lawyers were leaving the court room, MT. Hartridge turned to Assistant District Attorney Garvan and said: why this awful thing! If you find 1t necessary to get the testimony of the witness in South Africa, 1t will be months before the case can be called"
 Mir. Garvan made no reply. The wit- ness in South Africa is Miss Ida Sim ondton, daughter of Dr. Simondton of Pittsburg. Miss Simondton has gone to Africa to study the monkeys in the jungle.
 The appointment of the commission will have the affect of postponing Thaw's trial, which was scheduled to begin early in the coming year.
 When attempts were made to see Thaw in his cell in the Tombs, his only reply to all notes was: You will have to see my lawyers.

Retiring Master Mechanic of Coast Line fa Presented With a Big Chest of Handsome
 Silver.

At the residence of Mir. J. R. Me- Cord. SIS West Clayton Street, were gathered last night most of the em- ployes of the Atlantic Coast Line shops and a number of the Coast Line engi- neers.
 Incidentally William J. McGhee, the retiring Master Mechanic of the shopss was there also.
 ca a center tahle in the large draw ing room gllttefed and glistened the responsibility of the occasion-a su. Derhly handsome silver set of 100 pieces of heavy sterling silver knives, forks, spoons, ladies, etc. The mas aive rosewood case and contents was silent token of the earnest heartfelt love and admiration felt for Mir. Me Ghee by every man employed at the. shops from the highest to the most humble. In the dining room adjoining was a beautifully set table on which was spread a most tempting supper, but before adjourning to that room Engineer Frank Hall carried Mir. Mc- Ghee to the center of the drawing room and in a graceful speech made all the more forceful by the deep feeling with which it was delivered presented the fine gift to Mir. McGhee on behalf of his fellow workers.
 Tn a voice broken with emotion MT. McGhee expressed his appreciation and gratitude and tried to tell the boys
  The committee whose excellent taste selected the service was composed of Messrs. G. W. Weatherford, w. E. Smith, D. J. Frazier, J. M. Camp bell and W. C. Wall.

He has been loyalty itself to the company he worked for and withal was stuanch friend and comrade to the man who tried to do his duty. He has decided to leave the railroad business, and in a few days will leave L4ontgomery for his former home in Waycross, Ga, where he will enter private business. After supper, at which toasts to the future success of MT. and Mrs. McGhee were drunk, and with sincere regret the 'boys'' regretfully said goodbye to their former chief and wished him sCsod speed'-and an evening that will never be forgotten by either guest or hosts was at an end.

 Prove Fatal.
Advertiser Bureau.

Selma, Dec. g.
 At suegsville, about eighty miles south of here on the Mobile division of the Southern Railway, at o'clock this morning a rear-end collision which may result in the death of two popular railroad men of this city occurred.
 The collision was between a south bound freight train, which ran into and smashed up the caboose of the work train which was in the siding at Suggsville.
 The injured are Conductor John Cobb, Engineer Lawrence Moore and Flagman Ed Vesser of the work train. At the time of the collision the three injured men were asleep in the caboose of the work train.
 Conductor Cobb had his left ankle broken and also received injuries up- on the head which may prove fatal
 Engineer Moore had his left leg badly injured and mashed between the ankle and the amputation of his foot will be necessary, it is thought. He also received injuries about the head which may cause his death. The ex- tent of these injuries has not yet been determined.
 Flagman Ed vasser is reported to have received serious injuries about the body and to have had an arm broken. It was also reported that his back had been broken. No one on the freight train is reported to have been injured.
 The cause of the collision Is said to have been an open switch The work train put in. on the siding at Suggs- vile for the night. Early this morn ing the freight train came in to the station at a fair speed and took the siding and crashed into the caboose before 1t could be stopped. The en- zine of the freight train and the ca boose of the work train were badly mashed up. Several of the cars com posing the freight train were turned over.
 The three injured men were brought | here on the morning train from Mobile and put in BrIslin's ambulances and l carried to an infirmary where their in Juries were dressed. A large numbe, | of the friends of the injured men met them at the passenger station.
