Woman Admits Shooting of Which John
 M. Anderson Was Found Guilty
SHE DECLARES IT WAS AN ACCIDENT
Automatic Pistol Discharged while Horse was Rearing Kept Quiet About Affair Protect Her Reputation
 Has Been Conscience-Stricken, However, Since the
 Conviction of Andrews-Was Employed as Domestic

Philadelphia, June 29.-Accused of killing Emil Amann at Warren, Pa, on Jan. 27 last. Mrs. Stella Hodge, 35 years old, of that place. is being held at police headquarters here pending action by the Warren authorities.
 Man Already Convicted of Crime.
 The sensa tional feature of the arrest lies in the fact that John M. Andrews, formerly superintendent of the Warren Waterworks company. was only a few days ago convicted of murdering Amann, despite his vigorous protesta- tions of innocence of the crime An drews' attorney was James Scarlet, who did legal work in the capitol graft trials at Harrisburg and for the United States government in the powder trust case. His efforts in behalf of Andrews were unavailing. however.
 Detective Worked Up Case.
 H. G. Silcox, a Philad1phia detective, testified at the woman's hearing today that he had been employed by MT. Scarlet along with a private detective agency to look up the woman. MT. Scarlets suspicious were aroused, he said, because Mrs. Hodge was sub poenaed by the prosecution in the An drews murder trial, but was not called upon to testify.
 Lived With Husband Only Week.
 Detective Silcox further testified that Mrs. Hodge was married three years ago, but only lived with her husband a week. The husband is said to be in Port Huron. Mich. !Silcox said that Mrs. Hodge bore a good reputation. He described the third degree that she had undergone at Warren. He said the district attorney of Warren had been unfair and that he did not want to know the truth of the killing.
 Hid in Various Places.
 5 various houses in Warren. and that he traced her to hotel in Warren where only men room.
 Desired to Save Her Reputation.
 She was finally induced through a friend to go to Atlantic City, where she was arrested yesterday. There Mrs. her reasons for not confessing was the fear that her reputation would be ruined as she was a married woman and had no right to be out carriage riding with Amann.
 Her Story of the Shooting.
 Silcox said the woman told him that on the night of the killing she made an appointment with AInann to go rid ing. It was raining and he was com pelled to go to the reservoir where he was employed to look things over. They drove into a pasture near the reservoir and Amann left her and started to walk up the reservoir hill. Then the woman called him back, as she was afraid to be left alone in the dark. and asked him if he had revolver. Amann handed her an automatic pistol and went away to attend to his duties.

Restraint of Trade in Violation of Sherman
 Antitrust Law is Charged
COMPETITION ELIMINATED BY POOLS

New York June 29.--Nine indiet- ments charging restraint of trade lra violation of the sherman antitrust law were returned by a federal grand jury here today against as many as sDcfations and a long list of indlvidu- als comprising the so-called wire trust" affiliated with the steel indus try.

 Prominent among the defendants are Herbert l.. Satterlee. a son-in-law of J. Pierpont Morgan. and William F. Palmer. president of the American Steel and Wire company, subsidiary of the United States Steel corpora tion.
 Agreement in Restraint of Trade.
 What this suit charges" said Dis trict Attorney Wise, ''is a trade agree rnent in restraint of trade" The gov ernment does not seek to establish a physical or fiscal merger of the prop critics or interests indicted. but series of pools to maintain prices and eppor- ton territory, in elimination of com petition. and SO in violation of ths Sherman act
 Two Other Cases This Week.
 Thus the suit appears as further earnest of the governments determina- ton to deal vigorously with restrictive . closely knit corporate mergers. The suit against the Periodical Clearing House this week and against the box and paper manufacturers earlier are cases in point.
 Orly Two With Subsidiary Companies.
 There is no indication, however. that evidence gathered by the bureau of corporations in it's investigation of the steel corporation played any part in the indictmen'f. only two of the in- dicted associa ions containl subsidiary comps nies of he giant corporation namely. the A nericsn Steel and Wire company and the Trenton Iron com pany.
