los cuales fueron puestos en libertad.
5Y esas deficiencies no son maculas
del proeeso? Y todos callanos! La
prensa, los polfticos, eI pueblo: unos
por interes, O'tros por cobandIa.
Qneda deanostrado que Sc prescind1a
de toda prrueba que puediiera favorecer
a Ferrer, pero por 81 algo faltaba, ah1
esta la carta de Soledad Villafranca y
otros amigos de Ferrer desterrados en-
Teruel.
Con gram sorpresa vieron estos que
no Sc les llamaba a declarar, y escrib;e-
ron una carta al juez pidiendo deponer
EN- el proceso.
La carta era del % de septiembre {
iba certificada; lego a poder del juez
en- 20 de septiembre, cuando va no ha-
b1a tempo para declarar, porque Sc ha-
b1a elevado la caalsa q plenario.
Esto es Werdad, pero tamb6n 10 es
que el dia 20 tenIa que lacer el juez ur
resumen del prOceso, que 0cupa muchas
paginas impresas, y este 10 hizo en- tan
POGO tiempo, que a las cuatro de la tar
de estaba EN- poder del captain general
de donde reslslta que EN- veinte y cuatrC
horas dictamin0 ell juez, pas6 al auditor

y Volvi0 ntuevamente al juez.
5Es natural senior ministro de la Cue
rra, que 'en tan POGO tiempo prudiera ha

Yo no he de negar la imposibiidad
de admitir pruebas, aunque el C6digC
autoriza la admission de estas durante
el plenario, pero 81 mo se hizo para qmos
tampoco 'debi0 hacerse para otros, Y sin
embargo, eel dla primero de octubre pul-
do declarar Figueras, porque su depo
slcl0n EZRA de cargo.
Blen claro esta, pues, que sc admite
todO 10 que pod1a perjudicar a Ferrer
desechandio aquello que pudiera favo-
| recerle.
Y ahora voy a contestar a los periodi
eos Conservatives que no hay contra
Ferrer una sola prueba que tenga III
atomIo de TerOsimilitud y que por los

STRIKE MAY REACH INTO
; PENNSYLVANIA LINES

The strike on the &c. and Har-
riman lines may spread to the
Pennsylvania. ,,,,a- ;
Reports were made, to union of
hcials that recently the Pennsyl-
vania railroad turned over to their
shops at Pittsburg, Fort Wayne,
Alliance and Beaver Falls about
5000 Hartman line box cars and
ordered the men to repair them.
!, Craftsmen in the shops pro-
tested to the Pennsylvania that
they would not act as strikebreak-
ers against their fellow-unionists,
and the railroad officials announc-
ed that the men who refused to do
the work would be discharged.
The union workmen then threat
.ened a strike if such action was
taken.
Over 5000 shopmen are en-
ployed in the four shops named.
Rumors were persistent today
that wage and working agree
ment differences between the
system federation shopmen and
the Rock Island railorad might
go to arbitration, and a strike be
averted, but confirmation was i'm
possible.
Rock Island officials, who re-
fused all the demands of the shop
men and broke off negotiations,
refused to discuss the matter, ex-
cept to say the next move must
come from the federation,

drought has caused a scarcity OF

Vienna and other Austrian towns,

trouble because Of the high cost OF
living incidental upon a scarcity OF
food stuffs. Abroad politicians have
seized the opportunity and made me
