The 600 textile strikers, men and
women of half dozen nationalities
kept their seats, saying nothing while
the fiery agitators babled themselves
out of breath Whe order was restor-
ed. Boris Reinstein, the strike leader,
said quietly:
"The snake of anarchy will not be
permitted TO enter here and poison

and believe in government by the bal

BODY LAYIN FIELD FIVE DAYS.

NASHVILLE, MiCh., April 3.-The
body OF Ambrose Chiids. a farmer so
years OF age, was found in the field
yesterday where IL had lain for about
five days. The cause OF death is un-
known, bot IL IL thought to be from

harness on, had wandered about the
farm for FIVE days without food. and
his dog, which was locked in the house,
was so weak II could not bark. Childs
lived alone and his nearest neighbor
was half q mile away. which accounts
for the body not being found sooner.

AGREEMENT ADMITTED,
OPPOSED BY DEFENSE
Government Claims Victory in
Decision in Bathtub
Trust Case.

DETROIT, Mich, February 9.-The
trial today of the governments criminal
charges against the so-called bathtub
trust was marked by what the govern
ment claims to be a victory for it's side
when United States District Judge Angel
ruled in favor Of the submission of Ger
tain trade agreements signed by men,
bers of the defense prior to the final
agreement charged in the indictments
concerning the alleged license plan and
resale prices.
The defense bitterly opposed the sub
mission of the evidence on the ground
that the documents were written prior to
the making of the alleged agreement and
were not effective inasmuch as they We're
not signed by ali of the defendants and
were never put into effect
The government maintained the evil
dence was admissible, because it would
show the different steps taken by the
defendants in forming the alleged con-
spiracy.
In his ruling, Judge Angel said: I'll
admit the document, but reserve the
right to charge it out of the case. And
1t is admitted only against the persons
that signed it."
The document in question was drawn
up, it is alleged, at meeting Of the
Enameled Ware Association in New
York in March, 1910.
Edward l.. Wayman, who, 1t is said
by the government, drew up the trade
agreements, took the witness stand at
the resumption of the trial today.

Ohio, few opposition delegates; Penn
sylvania, with possibly one-third of it's
total of IS votes for Roosevelt; West
