Safety Appliance Fails

Washington. July 22-To the failure of
 a safety mechanism to operate when pull was given by an artilleryman In at taching the lanyard is now laid the re- sponsibility for the accident which cost the lives of eleven men at Fortress Mon- roe Va, during the battle practice yes- terday.
 The conclusion of General Crozer, chief
 of ordnance, United States army, who attended the practice, and who has been
 in touch with the inquiry made by the Investigating board, gave the foregoing
 view. Never before in the history or the army had the device failed to work. The
 possibility of it's occurrence was demon-
 strated however, by General Crozier him-
 self shortly after the accident, by test made of all the guns which participated in the practice.
 In another gun in the De Russy bat tery the device was found defective when General Crozier applied unusual force. such as was never deemed necessary III tests and examinations.
 lust before the accident the gun was pronounced by officers to be in proper condition.
 In April coast artillery officer on inspection duty reported that its prema- ture explosion was beyond the range of
 possibility. Steps will be taken at once to inspect the device officially.
 
 delicate" said General Crozier, in dis
 cussing the accident, because Of the
 lack of space for the utilization of larger
 and more robust parts, but it was sup
 nosed to be sufficient to withstand all
 reasonable purposes of firing and con
 ductng the whole aiming or the ord
 nance pieces. The operations of loading
 and firing are conducted with extreme
 rapidity and is praiseworthy to make all
 men quick on the command of the ofri- cers, which are accomplished quickly "In the case of the accident IL IS pe-
 lieyed the firing position before the breech
 lock was pushed home preparatory 10 rotating and locking 1t had been slightly cbanged and before the lanyard was booled The man whose duty 1t was to hook the lanyard had to do 1t while the gun was in motion.
 Testimony was given to the effect that the hooking and making firm had been done through false passes and the man ot u,orl, finally succeeded in hooking the a,n as the niece was ready to be de- ,ivered to the command of the gunner. ri Is presumed that the man inadvert- emily clung to the lanyard and the ex- nlosion immediately took place when the sudden pull was made, as in the case of inc neighboring gun. The test gun showed ln the defect the testimony ad- duced showed beyond any question. The safety device was of the model of the
 mechanism used several years in drill
 and target practice, the witnesses de-
 clared Hundreds of men in the ord-
 nance department testified, General Cro-
 zier said, that the gun No. had become
 so worn and weakened in its parts as

YOUNG GIRL IS MURDERED
 BY UNKNOWN PERSON AND
 BODY LEFT LYING IN POOL

ing of the dead body of the young girl bloodhounds were secured and they took the trail, but before they had gone a great distance a rain set In, and the dogs could not follow the trail further. Posses, however, were organized and search was begun in all directions in an effort to locate the murderer.
 While there is no absolute proof as to the identity of the murderer there is some suspicion but no names have been given. Information from Win ston county is to the effect that the county has never before been so stirred as 1t Is at this time. and while the belief at first obtained that if the mur- derer was caught he would be given a short shift, 'yet 1t Is now thought that Judge McLean's promise of an imme- diate trial at this term of court may prevent mob violence.
 Great sorrow Is expressed for the parents who have been called upon to suffer the loss of their daughter at the hands of some fiend whose identity has not yet been disclosed. A report has 1t that the young lady was as saulted before she met her death, but this has not been confirmed.
 It was impossible to get further par ticulars over the telephone at late hour tonight. as 1t was stated that the line was not working.

Bln Filed in Baltimore

Baltimore, Ml.. July 22.-The bill against the so-called bath tubstrust was filed in the United States court here to- day by Edward P. Grosvenor, special as- sistant to Attorney General Wickersham, who drew the petition and Joseph Darling special agent of the department, who made the investigation.
 It was discovered according to the bill of the government that the defendants had entered into combination for the purpose of controlling prices and terms of sale of their product throughout the United States. It is alleged that they re- fused to sell their goods to jobbers who refused to sign contracts.
 A patent. it is alleged, was assigned to a person selected by the companies and then all acquired licenses to manufacture and sell under the patent granted. By this means it is said, prices were fixed. It. is further alleged that the defendants have attempted to use the patent laws as a screen for an Illegal combination in restraint of trade.
 It is alleged in the bill that the defend ants have divided the United States into geogra phical zones. and by their sys- rem of contracts restrict each jobber in making sales so as to prevent competi- ton. It Is further. charged that the de- fcndants are cooperating in fighting the manufacturers of sanitary enameled iron ware and dealers therein in interstate commerce who have not become parties tp the commission. and that all the de fendants have united and are now en- gagged in a common effort to force such manufacturers and dealers into the com bination or else drive them out of busi- ness"
 Penalties, it is alleged are imposed on such members of the combination as de- part from the rules respecting prices and terms of sale fixed by the combination. These penalties are paid into common fund of the defendants

Ahrens Admits Control

The case in the ordinary course is ex- pected to come up for hearing in the hall.
 Louisville, July 22.-Theodore Ahrens, president of the Standard Sanitary Man ufacturing company. both named as de- fendants in today's proceedings, said to- day:
 This suit grows out of certain patents we have taken up, resulting in a re- arrangement of prices. It is true, as stat ed, that we control 30 per cent of the sanitary enameled iron, but 1t is not true that. we have advanced prices nor have we compelled jobbers to sign iron bound contracts as condition to obtain our goods. We have not refused to sell any one notssigning such a contract
 ''The statement that we are backed by $10O, ,0O0. .000 capital is absurd. All the firms in the organizations do not do busi- ness of $15.0O0,000 a year.
 .Before we took up these patents we laid the matter before the department of justice and were assured that our plans were perfectly legal.
