USED BIG GUN TO
COMPEL OBEDIENCE
Peculiar Action of Romdldo Ram.
drez. Who Waylaid and Killed
His Former Friend. Manuel
Vdlenzueld. as He Came
Out of Saloon.

San Antonio. y. NJ, June 12.-Why
did ROmaldo Ramarez desire to put
the corpse of his victim, Manuel Va
lenzuela, in the latter's bed after the
shooting at the Armijo saloon here
Thursday night is a question not
solvable except by Ramarez himself.
The dead man and the man who
killed him, had been bosom friends.
Valenzuela had been a hard working
man, but was given to spending his
earnings riotously.
On Thursday night he was drink
ing at the Armijo saloon with a man
named Gonzales.
Ramarez awaited his victim Just
outside the door of the saloon, which
is a one-story adobe house of one
long room with but two doors. both
of which are on the south side, one
near each end of the building
1t was between these two exits that
Ramare2 stationed himself in waiting
for Valenzuela. He could easily
watch both doors.
No Escape Possible.
There was no escape for the DOOM
ed man even had he known that
death lurked outside the building
But he did not know.
Death came suddenly and ne died
with a Jest upon his lips.
"Buenos noche, amigo Armijo," said
Valenzuela as he cautiously felt for
tle Step IndI lets one uOWn from tne
building 20 the ground.
He had just set one foot on the
ground when a bullet from Ramarez's $
pistol went crashing through his left
breast. followed closely by second
shot almost in the same place, Either
of them would have proven fatal.
Jumping out into the light that
came through the open door, Ra-
marez fired a third shot, presumably
at Gonzales, who turned to run. Ra-
marez ran after him and placed his
pistol close TO the frightened mans
head.
Drags Victim to Bed.
II was at this stage of this most
dramatic tragedy that Ramarez per-
formed a most extraordinary and in
eXplicable act.
He, at the point of his gun. made
the prisoner drag the corpse to the
home of the thus suddenly widowed
wife a distance of 100 yards, and
place il in bed and cover it with
a sheet.
The assassin's every movement was
deliberate from the time that he took
his stand outside the door of the sa-
loon until he walked into the pres
ence of a deputy sheriff and told the
officer that he had killed his friend
and wanted to be locked up.
The reputation of the killer is that
of a worthless. idle man.
His Explanation.
He claims that he killed Nalen-
zuela because the latter had threat
ened 10 kill him. and he feared that
the threat would be put into eXecu-
ton

"A DEFENDANTS ARE
NAMED IN COMPLAINT
Action Is Result of investigation
Made by Department of Justice
a Year Ago--DiStriCt Attorney
Thompson Has Charge
of Cases.

Philadelphia. June 12.-Suit by the
government against the anthracite
coal carrying railroads was filed in
the United States circuit court here
this morning. The defendants, who
are charged with carrying on a mon
opoly in the production, transporta-
ton and sale of hard coal, are the
following:
Reading, Philadelphia and Read
ing, Lehigh Valley, Lackawanna,
Central of New Jersey, Erie, Susque-
hanna, Philadelphia and Reading
Coal and Iron, Lehigh Valley Coal
Lehigh and Wilkesbarre, Hillside
Coal and Iron. New York, Susque-
hanna and Western Coal, and Tenn
pie Iron company.
After the filing of the bill of COM
plant by District Attorney Thomp-
son, the machinery of the law was
put in motion to have the papers
served upon the defendants at once.
The suit is the result of the inves-
ttgation started by the department of
justice nearly a year ago.
Case Carefully Prepared.
The government has carefully pre-
pared its case and Attorney Thomp-
son stated today that he had plenty
of evidence to substantiate all his
claims.
The investigation of the charges by
the department or justice mas Deen
thorough, and Attorney Thompson,
in frequent consultations with the at
torney general of the United States,
has obtained a promise of all the
necessary aid to conduct the proseu-
ton of the suits.
1t is probable that the attorney
general himself may conduct the
case.
Make no Statement.
At the local offices of those of the
defendant companies who maintain
headquarters here, nothing concern
ing the suits could be learned. The
statement was made that no papers
had been served as yet and that the
proper time to defend a suit is when
you know you're sued"
Great Combine.
The suits are filed as an attempt
to break up the greatest combine in
the coal carrying and trading busi-
ness that has ever been formed in
this country.
officials of some of the defendant
companies openly admitted that the
carrying and selling of anthracite has
been divided among them each year.
Figures proving this are in the hands
of the prosecution.
This is the second anti-monopoly
suit filed here IN the past twenty
four hours, the first having been
against the umbrella trust.
District Attorney Thompson has
prepared VolumiuouS petitions in
both cases and his charges are set out
with great clearness.

AMERICA WILL URGE

Friction viii be Engendered That
viii Fan DiSCOrd Now Existing
Between Two Countries.
Attitude of Other
Powers Unknown.

New York, June IA Vienna dis
patch to the Herald quotes a delegate
to the Hague conference, said to be
a representative of a great power, as
declaring that Japan Is to hurl a
bomb into the conference by bring
ing forward te question of the right
of a conqueror to annex all the ter
ritory subjugated,>. with all that is
contained OH 1t.
This will be warmly denied by both
Russia and the United States.
The Herald's informant is quoted
as saying that the Russians have
large private property in Manchuria.
and the United States has consider
able mining and other interests in
Corea, hence the United States pro-
poses to bring a motion diametrical-
ly opposed to that of Japan.
International Row Likely.
This in view of the existing fric-
ton between Japan and America, is
easy to see, contains all the makings
of a first class international row.
The attitude OF the other powers Is
unknown.
1t is Japans desire TO confirm,
through action of the peace confer
ence, her possession of Manchuria
and all other territory and possessions
acquired at the close of her war with
Russia.
Looks Like a Slap.
The United States, always opposed
to the seizure of property by con-
quering nations, other than territory
awarded by terms of peace, and not
including what Is contained thereon.
could not well act otherwise than to
oppose Japan's intentions.
Even without her interests in the
mines of Corea, which are owned by
leading American financiers, this
country could not endorse such a mo-
ton. according to authorities here.
Taking the present situation be-
tween the two countries into consid-
GRAFTON, with due regard to Japan's
hatred for Russia, her recent enemy.
many parties are disposed to look
upon the proposed motion as a di-
rect slap at the United States

Boise, Idaho, June 12.-The cross
examination of Harry Orchard today
was carried over the attempt on the
life of Governor Peabody at Canon
city, and events Immediately sue
ceeding that affair, including the
Goddard and Gabbert plots, and it
followed the usual methods designed
TO confuse and discredit the witness.
Attorney Richardson again suggest
ed that Orchard was being coached
by Detective MCFARLAND and counsel
for the prosecution.
In this manner he provoked the
sharpest wrangle that the attorney
and witness have had in their long
contest.
Orchard spiritedly denied that he
is being coached, and asserted that
he is telling the truth.
Orchard said that he and Pettibone
discussed the project of killing Judge
Gabbert. but that he alone started
out to murder Judge Goddard with
out amy suggestion from Haywood.

one made months before.
Another Crime.
Still another crime came home to

ers of southern Colorado with a fake
hail insurance game while down there
trying to kill Peabody.
Plot Against Bell.
Just before recess the monotony Of
the cross examination was broken by
Orchards description of his attempt
to kill Gen. Sherman Bell in Denver.
For twelve nights, he said, he was
at Bells residence waiting for an op-
portunity to shoot him.
More than once Bells life was
saved by the barking of small dogs.
Never Faltered in Replies.
Orchard continued his testimony
this afternoon, it bearing largely on
events connected with the attempted
assassination of General Bell.
He furnished names, dates and all
other facts rapidly and without fall
tering, though the defense put him
through terrific pace.
1t is believed that he will be per-
mItted to leave the stand tomorrow,
but if so, will be recalled later.

In ZIG B. c. Hannibal. with about

DESCRIPTION OF PIANO

The piano offered in this con-
test is classic in every sense
musical, mechanical or artistic.
The magnificent, yet simple
richness of the design is only
partly suggested, as no engrav-
ing can possibly delineate the
appearance of the exquisitely
figured veneer which beautify
it.; nor can an engraving por-
tray the effects caused by it's
mirror-like surfacing.
Full scale of 7 1-3 octaves,
composite Bell-Metal Plate, gild-
ed throughout. Case covered
with choicest selection of VEN
GERS, and completed by employ
ment of genuine woods to cor
responding soft or stained
woods used in any part. Case
lined throughout with polished
