ON
Last Saturday

At the convening of court
Saturday morning the three
defendants who had pleaded
guilty to the indictments
charging the murder of Juan
Peralta at Tajique on May 2S,
1911, Eduardo Trujillo, Juana
Peralta and Isabel BilIesca,
were brought before the court
for sentence. The sentences
we're: Trujillo, not less than
twenty five nor more than
fifty years at hard labor in the
territorial penitentiary at
Santa Fe. The women were
given not less than three nor
more than five years eadh in
penltentiary.
At first glance, these sent
ences appear very slight, when
the hideousness OF the crime is
considered. But the court in
pronouncing the sentences, ex-
planned several things in con
nection herewith. In the case
of TruJillo, he enormity of
the crime was reduced by the
fact that there was nothing to
prove premedltation. AL three
of thedefendants told the same
story in this regard. Isabel
had left Trujillo at her house
and gone over to her mothers,
claiming that she did not
want Peralta to know that
Truiillo was there. That she
wanted to avoid any trouble. J
When Peralta appeared, Tru-
lilo claims that the fight en-
sued and was compelled to
shoot in self defense, as the
larger man was getting tho
better Of him in the scuffIe.
The court called attention to
the fact that had Trujlllo not
had his gun so handy, the fight
would not have ended so dis
astrously as it did. The court
was also informed that Trujil
10 had not been in serious trou
BILE before, but had been a hard
working boy. On the other
hand the court took cogniz-
ance of the fact that the boy
had certainly been indulglng
in improper relations with
Isabel, which weighed against
him, and which in the purview
of the court. had brought on
the whole trouble. The pleas
of guilty weighed strongly in
favor of all three defendants
as it would have been practi
cally impossible to have prov
en- murder against them, had
they merely claimed self de
fense, except for the fact they
had destroyed the body.
In the case of the women,
the court was satisfied that
they had taken practically no
hand in the murier. Juana
Peralta had not even been
present at the time of the kill
ling. They were in truth ac-
cessories after the fact, but the

Washington, January 11.-In the closing arguments today in the con test before the supreme court of the United States over the proposed dls- solution of the o-called tobacco trust the issue between the trust and the government became more localized than ever before. This was particularly true in regard to the interpretation of the monopolizing section of the sher- man antitrust law which never has been passed upon by the court
 In interpreting this section of the law Junius Parker, speaking for John G. Johnson, who was unable to be in court, said on behalf of the tobacco organization that bigness of an, or ganization or mere power possessed. by it was not a criterion of monopoly. It was argued that there must pe an exclusion or attempt to exclude others from interstate trade by means, at least tortuous, under The common. laws, or under statutes other than the sherman law. Attorney General Wick ersham. for the government, objected to this inter pretation and gave another to the court. He said that decisions of the court itself had demonstrated that 1t was brought about by acts of indi- viduals in endeavoring to engross themselves all of given commodity and that it has become a question of intent.

MORE FAVORABLE
 OUTLOOK FOR IRON
Pipe Interests Are Active
 Buyers of Pig Iron
SALESMEN SATISFIED
Structural Steel and Iron Material VIII He in Greater Demand Ac- cording to the Views of
 Men on the Road

Cleveland, January 11.-(Special) )-The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 Although the first ten days of the new year have not been characterized by pos five developments, indications are more favorable for increased business. Cast iron pipe interests have been active buy CTS of pig iron and the leading interest is reported to have purchased more than 40,000 tons. but this has not been positive ly confirmed It is understood that cast iron pipe interests in the east are will ing to buy about 20,0o0 tons If a sats- factory quotation can be obtained. The usual price of basic Is s145O, delivered in eastern territory. One consumer who has been in the market for some time took 1000 tons of basic at that figure. An other eastern interest bought 5000 tons of Bessemer.
 The Pennsylvania railroad has pur- chased S5OO tons of foundry grades. h. quiries have increased in eastern terri tory where some low prices are being made. No. foundry has sold in New England as low as s13.75, Buffalo, or S16. 50 delivered. Inquiries from the Gen eral Electric company for it's New Eng land plants amount to from 5000 to 6OOO tons.
 At a meeting of the salesmen of the American Bridge company there was a fairly optimistic sentiment in regard to prospects for structural material. It IS estimated that 6O000 tons will be made for projects for structural material. It is estimated that 600OO tons will be made for projects pending in the Philadelphia district and nearby territory The Noel'<e Richards company has taken a contract for the Union National bank building at Houston, Tex, 1500 tons. The Kansas City Structural Steel company has been awarded the contract for the Waldheim building Kansas City, 12o0 tons.
 The selection of James A. Farrell to be president of the United States Steel corporation insures a continuance of the policy of conciliation and cooperation. His record as a builder of American steel trade in foreign countries has been remarkable. and his ability there has brought to him his new high office.
 The controversy concerning the specifi- cations of the Pennsylvania railroad for steel rails has been adjusted. but the order for 15o,O0o tons has not been fomalr ly entered.

DEFINITION OF MONOPOLY IS H*
 CAUSING WORRY TO ATTORNEYS

tions made earlier in the day by Chief Justice White that intent as a cri- terion of violation O. a law was un- certain and made it impossible for the business man to know whether he was vola ting the law until the courts passed on his case. Attorney General Wickersl1am argued that "intent' was no more uncertain than fraud" which was punished by the law. iaNfs
 The arguments of the day were made by w. B. Hornblower representing the Imperial Tobacco company of Great Brit ain; S. M. Stroock, representing the United Cigar Stores company; MT, Parker for the American Tobacco, and MT. Wickersham. MT. Wickersham will be given few minutes tomorrow to con clude. Thereafte arguments in the Stand ard Oil dissolution suit will be taken up.
 In his address today Mrs Wickersham devoted mitch of his time to showing that the tobacco organization had been built up with an intent to restrain trade and to monopolize the business.
 He. ridculed the testimony of the off, ficials of the American Tobacco com pany wherein they, maintained that they never had any idea of restra ming trade, and brought his argument to climax with the exclamation:
 with solemn visage and pious micn, they would sugar the devil himself"
 He characterized the expression of the growth of the company as an orderly legal, natural and economic growth" as synonomolis' with a'"sweet, placid, dream like RroWtll''
