Washington, December A.-The scope of the temporary injunction laid by Jus tice Gould on the American Federation of Labor, prohibiting the boycott of the Buck Stove and Range company Of St. Louis. Mo, appears not to be fixed py the order of last Wednesday, to the sat- isfaction of counsel for the defendants.

cifc, the greatest peace movement of the navy during it's history. Tho resignation of Admiral Brownson as chief of the bureau of navigation has the effect of placing him in his former position on the retired list of the navy.
 Commander Winslow. who has been designated to act as the head of the navigation bureau, has for some time past been assistant to Admiral Brown son and consequently is familiar with the duties of the bureau. However, it is known that Commander Winslow is anxious to obtain command of the new battleship New Hampshire so it is believed that his present designa tion is intended to bridge over an in terval during which the President can make a selection of another officer. Among the names mentioned In that connection is Capt. Richard Clover. at present head of the board of inspec- ton and survey, who was considered for that place before Admiral Brown son's term of active service expired and 1t was supposed that he was to give way to an officer on the active list. Another name, which 1t Is known has been considered In connection with the vacancy Is that of Lieutenant Com mander w. s. Sims, who is one of the Presidents aides, and who has at tained special eminence in the navy by his expert work in connection with target practice

Judge WOods Ruling Greatly
 FaVOrs Defendant
NO CONSPIRACY IS PROVED
Trial Judge May Be Compelled to Re- verse Previous Ruling If He Makes Final Decision According
 To Present Ruling.

Boise Idaho, December 24.-Before haer- ing argument on the motion for an in- structed verdict of acquittal, filed by the defense in the Pettibone trial today, Judge Wood announced his conclusions on the question of corroborative evidence and stated that there had not been sufficient corroboration of Orchards testimony on the killing of Governor Steunenberg alone to warrant a continuation. He also said that corrogoration was necessary to es- ta blish a conspiracy and invited argument as to whether or not such corroboratlon had been given by the state and whether or not the defendant had been connected with that conspiracy. The conclusion Of the court means that either the jury will be instructed to acquit the defendant or that the trial will proceed on the proposi- ton that the state is not required to con- meet Pettibone with the Steunenberg mur- der, it being only necessary to show that a conspiracy to murder existed, that the defendant on trial was member of that conspiracy and that the killing of Steunenberg was an incident thereto.
 In the Haywod trial Judge Wood held that it was necessary for the state to pro- duce evidence tending to connect the defendant with the specific crime charge, independent of the testimony of Orchard. His announcement today means that he will either reverse that ruling or sus- tain the motion of the defense to direct an aequittal.
 A ruling on the motion will be made Thursday Judge Wood directed the de- fense to be ready to proceed with it's case at that time in the event the motion was not sustained. John F. Nugent, for the defense, this afternoon, continuing his argument in support of the motion to instruct the jury to return verdict of not guilty said that the evidence in this case is weaker than in the Haywood case, but at the former trial the testimony of Orchard that the letter received by him at the Caldwell jail was written by Petti- bone was undisputed, while in the pres ent case Sheriff Nicols had testified that the letter was not in the handwriting of the defendant.
 Senator Borah. for the prosecution, said the state contended that, first, there was a general conspiracy to kill those who were enemies. or who were supposed to be enemies of the Western Federation; scond that Steunenberg was killed for that reason third that the defendant was member of that conspiracy, and, fourth, that Steunenberg was killed by a member of that conspiracy in further ance of it's objects He said that the evi- dence showed that conspiracy had been formed for particular purpose and that the defendant was member of that con- spiracy and that it was not necessary to show that the defendant had particular knowledge of the particular crime, if It was shown that the crime was commit ted in furtherance of the objects of the conspiracy. Court adjourned until Thurs day morning, at 10 o'clock.

Trial of 169 Members of First
 Douna Begins Today
LIGHT SENTENCE tXPEcTED
Among Those on Trial Are Many Prom. inent Russians and the Ineffective ness of Their Actions May
 Lighen Their Punishment.

St. Petersburg, December 24.-The trial of 169 members of the first douma who signed the Viborg manifesto about IS months ago calling upon the citizens of Russia to stand up for their rights for popular representation and for an imperial parliament, will begin tomor- row before the court of appeals. The former douma members are charged with high treason and with the promul- gation of an appeal to the people, call ing upon them to refuse to pay taxe ; or serve in the army or navy.
 The verdict of guilty is anticipated. as the gist of the accusation is es- abolished by the text of the manifesto and only defense can be interposed. But there is no reason to anticipate the infliction of the maximum penalty, which is death. The majority of the defendants have abandoned all hope of acquittal but are looking forward to a light sentence such as years i'm prisonment or some similar puYsh- ment.
 The prominence of the accused, how ever, among whom are Prof. Serge Mouromtseff, former president of the house; M. Petrunkevitch and many oth . CT liberal leaders, and the total inef : fectiveness of the Vibosg appeal may induce the government to further lem iency.
 Seven of the leading lawyers of Rus sIa, headed by yassili Maklakoff, the leader of the constitutional democrats in the second douina, and M. Tslenko. will appear for the defense. The prose- cution will be conducted by Grown S Attorney Sierbert. The trial is ex- pected 10 last 10 days.

New York, December 24-With tale of hardship and starvation that adds an- other chapter to the romance of the sea, Mate Donald Morrison. of the long lost bark Alexandria Oquibis, has arrived at his home in Southampton, L. l., in time for Christmas.

During the time they lived on turtles and lizards and all the water they had was from a small brackish spring.

Washington December 24.-(Special)-A published interview with Attorney Gen. eral Bonaparte has caused quite a snick CT even among republicans who read that Maryland will send delegation to the Chicago convention favorable to the candidate favored by the administration. They say that if the Attorney General means that the delegation will be for Taft he was never more mistaken in his life. for it is a well known fact here tha. Congressman Mudd, the real boss of the Maryland republicans, Is not for Taft, and has no idea of permitting his dele gation to be fixed up for the Ohio man.
 Senator Taylor of Tennessee, who has been confined to his rooms for more than a week with an attack of grippe and stomach trouble, is so much improved that he came down today to a meal in the dining room of his hotal. He is tm- proving steadily.
