BANDITS AGAIN FIRE At TRAIN.
After Placing Stones On the Track the
Mexican cutthroats Hid In The
Bushes To Attack the
Train.

Mexico City-A repetition Of Sun
days massacre at Ticuman, when 80
soldiers and 20 passengers were killed
by partisans of the rebel Zapata, was
narrowly averted Wednesday near
Huichila, in Southern Morelos, by the
engineer Of a southbound train from
the city of Cuautla, who backed his
train out Of the danger zone under the
fire Of ambushed bandits.
Two women were killed and another
was wounded by the rebel fire before
the train was out of range.
Rocks had been piled on the track,
but were seen by the engineer in time
to avert disaster.
News arrives every moment Of
devastations committed by partisans
OF the rebel Zapata in the Tenancingo
district of the State Of Mexico, about
65 miles southwest Of Mexico City.
1t Ii feared in government circles
that the rebels may cut off the retreat
OF General Trujillo, commanding the
federals now at Tenancingo and then
surprise this city.
It is expected that Coatespec,
Salinas and other nearby towns will
share the fate Of the town of Ixtapan
at the hands of the rebels. as there
are no federal troops available for
their defense.

BUSINESS IS MONOPOLIzED.
Ten Prominent Movlng-Picture Film
Concerns Are Accused OF
Combining To Control
Business.

Philadelphia, Pa.The Federal gov
eminent attacked the so-called Moving
Picture Trust in a civil suit filed here
Friday for the dissolution Of the
Moving Picture Patents Company
and the General Film Company. Ten
prominent moving picture film con-
Germs are accused of combining to
monopolize the business, even to the
extent of increasing or decreasing the
number of motion picture theatres, in
which they have no proprietary inter-
est
The following corporations and indi-
viduals, who are officers or directors,
are named defendants:
Motion Picture Patents Company,
General Film Company, Biograph
Company, Thomas A. Edison (Inc.)
Essany Film Manufacturing Company,

vim, j. ]. Kennedy. William Pelzer,
Samuel Long, J. A. Berst, Siegmund
Lubin, CASTOR Melies, Albert e.
Smith. George X. Spoor and w. N.
Selig.
Each Of the defendants is alleged
to have overstepped the bounds of the
lawful monopoly granted by their pat
ents and the petition asks that sew
eral complicated interlocking license
restrictions, tying patents together, be
ordered cancelled. The government
charges that unreasonable and oppres-
sive restraints and conditions have
been arbitrarily imposed on the manu-
facture and leasing Of films and ma
chimes. depriving the public of the adj
vantages OF competition, especially
the competition of foreign films, the
importation of which is alleged to be
restricted.
Edwin p Grosvenor, special assist
ant to the Attorney General, who has
charge of the pending antitrust suit
against the International Harvester
Company, made an exhaustive investi-
cation Of the moving picture business,
drawing the petition filed by United
States Attorney John G. Swartley, in
addition, the bill is signed by Attorney
General Wickersham and James A.
Fowler, his assistant.
The governments petition says that
between 100000 and 100000 feet
of pictures are printed each week by
manufacturers and distributed to
thousands Of exhibitors all over the
United States. The government de-
clares that a sum greatly in excess Of
$100,0O0.000 has been invested in
the different branches of the business.
The defendants control, it is added,
from 20 to 80 per cent. of the film bust
ness. furnishing approximately 1000
exhibitors.

AN AMERICAN King
IN AFRICA shot
Elephant Poacher Had Estab-
Iished Empire.
BRITISH TROOPERS GET HIM.
Remarkable and Romantic Career OF
An American (James Ward
Rogers) In the Heart
OF Africa.

LOndon.-Hunted down by British
soldiers in the depths of the jungles
of Central Africa, where for years in
defiance Of all authority he had pur-
sued the career of an elephant poacher
and Illicit ivory trader, James Ward
Rogers, an American, is dead. He
was shot down by a little force Of
troops, which had been sent into the
wilderness in pursuit with orders not
to return without the outlaw, dead or
alive.
News of Rogers death came formal
II to the British colonial office from
Capt. C. " Fox, inspector of Mon
gala province, who commanded the
expedition. Although told in an official
report, the story revealed is one Of
the most dramatic in colonial annals.
For years Rogers had carried on his
lawless trade, which popular opinion
credited with netting him a fortune.
The remote regions along the Lado
Enclayo and Congo boundaries were
the scenes Of his operations. Time
after time British officials of the
Sudan had tried in vain to trap him.
It was his defiance of years which de-
termined the government to crush the
old man.
Captain Fox's report shows that in
his long operations Rogers had done
more than had been dreamed of by
the Colonial Office. He had establish
ed an organized administration over
the wild, trackless country and among
the natives was a virtual, if uncrown-
ed, king.
The success of the outlaw in hand
ling his subjects" and in pursuit Of
his trade drew from Captain Fox, in
his report, the tribute that Rogers
work was worthy of a better cause.
Not since the explorer, Henry M.
Stanley. pierced the jungles in 1871
and found DR.. Livingstone has such
tale Of hardship, trials and dangers
come out of Africa. Captain Fox's re-
port, in this respect, resembles most
nearly, perhaps, the tale of General
Funston's logged pursuit of Agui-
naldo in the Philippines
For the purpose of tracking the out
law the English commander was given
non-commissioned subordinate and
six Soudanese soldiers. Body carriers
and mules for the transportation Of
supplies were part of his equipment.
His instructions were plain-not to
return until the outlaw was captured
With soldiers disregard for red
tape. Captain Fox in his report fails
to mention dates in describing the
man hunt. Probably the denouement
of the jungle drama came three
months ago.
The pursuers had spent weeks
plunging through the jungle that al
most defied passage, Rogers cum
ningly leading them through the
densest of swamps, forests and across
deep streams. Before the outlaw was
overtaken he had crossed the Nile
into the Belgian Congo.
