witnesses, we're the only defense re
vealed after John Deitz had put on
six witnesses for himself, Mrs. Deitz
and Leslie.
The beginning of the presentation
of the defense was marked by DeitZ'
motion to discharge all three defend
ants, which was overruled by Judge
Reid.
Mrs. Deitz and Leslie left it to 1.-The
old man" to ask all the questions in
direct examination, although they
made frequent suggestions to him
over his shoulder, heralded by a tug
at his coat.
Deitz still says that he sees no rea.
son why any of the defendants should
go on the stand.
Our plea of not guilty is enough
he said. 1--WE have no knowledge Of
the killing OF Harp"
The defense's witnesses showed
some embarrassment at their position.
Often their testimony was damaging
to Deitz' case.
Rcasts the Lumber Trust.
John Deitz' motion at the beginning
of the presentation of his case that
all three defendants be discharged
was overruled by the court and the
trial proceeded, after Deitz had made
a speech about the lumber trust.
Deitz moved the discharge of the
defendants on the ground that their
guilt has not been shown beyond a
reasonable doubt. Judge Reid asked
if there We're any arguments.
Deitz, addressing the court, said it
had been admitted by two deputies
that they could have fired the fatal
shots. He added that one mans body
would not nav stopped and battered
a full metal case bullet at the distance
the one taken from Harp was bat
tered; that bodies of ten men, or an
OK, might not have stopped it. This
last line of argument was stopped by
the prosecution and court as being
outside the evidence.
With the evidence as it now
stands" the court replied, Il shall
leave the decision to the jury in the
case of each and all witnesses"
The prosecution made no argument
on the motion, and the court denied it.
Deitz then surprised the courtroom
by moving, for the second time in the
trial, the discharge of the jury. II do
not want to see this jury prosecuted"
he said, "and any M who knows the
despotism of the lumber trust knows
these twelve men will be prosecuted
If they render a verdict against the
wishes of the trust"
The motion was denied.

Fall Of Juafez, Mex, Ap-

FIERCE BATTLE RAGING

Federals Bitterly Resist Advance Of
lnsurrectos and the Loss on Both
Sides Promises to BE Heavy-Amer.
lean Troops at FL Paso, Tex, En-.
gagged in Keeping sightseers Out Of
the Danger Zone.
Ell Paso, Tex, May 1o.-A general
engagement between the revolutionary
forces of General Madero and the fed
erals under command of General Ma
varro is raging at Juarez under a
burning sun and a heavy fusillade of
musketry and cannon. The entire
rebel army had broken camp during
the night and up to noon the insur-
rectos were rapidly swarming into
town.
The prospects of rebel success are
dependent on the ability of the fed
erals to use their twelve machine guns
within the town.
The ~insurrectos, it was reported,
had silenced some of them, but this
report has verification only in the fact
that the federals were not Smelling
the i%nsurrectos as extensively in the
last few hours as they did earlier in
the morning.
General Madero admitted that he
foxl ~31yo~ hio o1rc1r< IN n 0onoro1
attack on Juarez, but explained that
various circumstances had precipitat-
ed it. He declared reports which had
reached him were that the federals
had opened fire and that men who had
been reported as revolving against his
leadership had pursued them of their
own accord and could not %relinquish
their positions. He listened to the
counsel of his chiefs, who advised a
general attack, and. though he made
an effort to arrange an armistice, it
failed because of the progress the at
tack already had made.
Long Fight in Prospect.
All the leaders have been acting IN
der General Madero's orders. They
have surrounded Juarez with their
men and prospects are that the battle
will continue throughout the day with
out any decisive turn.
General Madero was at his head
quarters receiving the reports from
the front, and with him were the vari-
Gus political chiefs, confident of an
insurrecto victory.
Bullets have been pouring into Ell
a.. M, but the American troops have
been keeping sightseers three blocks
away from the river front.
Privates Emilio Garcia and Cassidy
of the American legion with the insur-
rectos came to Ell Paso to get food.
They stated that fifteen Americans al
ready have been killed and wounded
and the rebel losses would probably
reach $50 killed and wounded, and
that the federal loss was more than
double that amount.
"In one trench l counted f%orty-seven
dead federals and in another thirty
eight. They were stripped of most of
their clothing" said Cassidy.
At 1880 a.. m. Colonel Steever, in
charge of the United States troops,
issued orders not to permit any. pro-
visions to be taken across to the in
surrectos. A wagonload of food was
at the bridge for the rebels. 1t was
not permitted to cross.

pect to turn the tables this time.
They will have a team in the field
which is as strong If not stronger
than they ever had and 1t is likely
that they will do all they say.
The Perth Amboys have about re-
covered from the recent reverse at
the hands of the South Amboy Ath-
letics and are ready for this weeks
contest. They will nave a good COM
bination on the plot and expect to
win as usual. Whether they are
able to do this or not remains to be
seen, but judging from their past
record it looks as If they had a good
chance. They will take no chances
but will start at the first inning and
try to make the suburbanites sit up
and take notice. Whether Lefty
HAYES. their new wonder, will pitch
or not is not yet known, but later In
the week 1t will be announced. The
lineup of the locals will be somewhat
changed but they will have the real

MuIvaney Holding Position
for Puritans-- Has Speed.

The new find of the Puritans turns
out to be Mulvaney and not McNally,
and he has had lots Of experience
with amateur teams although none
with the leagues as was rumored a
few days ago. There is every reason
to believe that he will make one of
the best pitchers in this city. He has
the throw of a "profesh" and the
speed to make the sphere go in every
possible direction. He has some new
ones which local batters do not know
and will show them in later games.
When the Puritans saw the boy in
the box they Immediately grabbed
him and will hold on to him. He
says he has a catcher who is better
used to him, and the two should do
some classy work together. Manager
Vincent Riedy does not know wheth-
er the pair will work this week or
not but If they should, many fans
will go to e them.
The Puritans play this Sunday at

Fish Tales

The big bluefsh have struck into
Sandy Hook Bay and they can be
caught along by the hospital on the
Sandy Hook reservation. The fish
run close to an average of four
pounds and there seems to be enough
of them to keep things busy down
there for a while.
James Hartsgrove, of Tottenville,
has fshed at Sewaren ever since Ollie
Acker has been there, and that is
some time. Last Sunday he got out
on the grounds after about fifty boats
had anchored and he anchored just
on the outside of them. He said af-
terward that he always did that be-
cause he 0 the benefit of all the
stray pieces of bait from other lines
and It acted as chum. His theory
must work all right, as he caught
lthirty-one bluefsh and ~weakfsh.
Catskill Creek empties into the
Hudson river near the Catskin land
ing and 1t is a great creek for black
bass fishing. Very few people know
of it as such, but If you are ever
cruising up that way run into the
creek for the night and try the bass
early in the morning. When you go
into the creek don't be afraid OF the
water, as it is deep enough for a
thirty footer for two miles or more.
There was no fishing out on the
bay yesterday. Many boats have
been reserved for over the weekend,
however. Fishing was fairly goed
at Sewaren yesterday, a number OF
boats going out from Acker's place,
but no catches of any extraordinary

JOE JEANETTE PUTS
kUB|AK OUT IN THIRD
Michigan Giant Goes Down With
Hard Right Hook on The jaW--Refe-
rec Counts Him Out.
AT TWENTIETH CENTURY A. G.

New York, July 26:-Jeo Jean
nette, of New Jersey, knocked out
AL Kubiak, the Michigan giant, In
the third round of their scheduled
ten-round bout at the Twentieth Cen
fury A. G. last night. The knock
out punch was a hard right hook to
the jaw. Kubiak fell on his knees
and hands and rolled ver or his
back, but arose at the count of nine
only to be knocked down twice
again.
The last time he went down Ref
cree Charlie White counted the fatal
ten seconds, Kubiak arose in a dazed
condition, not realizing that he had
been knocked out.
Kubiah was no match for Jeanette.
The negro was too clever for the big
boxer from Michigan. He held XII
biak away from him during the early
sessions with straight left-hand jabs.
Jeanette did not use his right hand
much, as he had injured 1t while
training for the bout, He held it in
reserve, however, and finally used 1t
so effectively that an inside right
