Great Joy Over Sovereign's
Escape on Anniversary Of

ROME, March 14.--An unsuccess-
iui attempt to assassinate King vic
tor emmanuel was made today. The
assailant fred three shots from a pis-
toi at his majesty. but all went wild.
one wounded the major commanding
the kings cavalry escort. There was
Wild excitement for some time, but
'ne assailant was quickly overpower-
ed'and arrested.
Inc King had just left the palace
10 attend a memorial service In honor
OF the birthday Of his father.
King Humbert. who was killed by
the assassin. Goetana Bresci. on July
20 1900. as the result of plot perpe
eFated- tn the United States
me .assailant was roughly handled
oy the escort and was only saved
rom being lynched by the same es-
cort which guarded him closely until
ne was locked up. He gave his name
as antonio DAlba and admitted thar
ne was an avowed anarchist.
The attempt on the life of the king
took place Of 7:30 O'Clock this morn.
Ing. and that his majesty did not lose
his life Is believed to be due to the
iact that the queen, who accompanied
MIN, was indisposed and asked that
the trip be made in closed carriage
This made II hard for the assassin 10
get accurate aim. The usual force
or troops lined the streets, but there
was no thought OF danger on the part
OF the escort as since the outbreak
of the war with Turkey the nation
has been almost overwhelmed by a
wave OF patriotic sentiment.
As the royal procession approached
almost surrounded by the picked cav
taliy escort resplendent in their dress
IIiforms, DAlba suddenly pressed
through the crowd. Abruptly showing
royal guardsman standing on the
curb to one side, he raised his pistol.
Three shots came in rapid succession
all going wild and the second strilx.

The jury in the bathtub trust case,
which has been before United States
District court since Feb. 6, retired
Thursday morning at 1925 o'clock
under charge from Judge Angel
that practically amounted to direc.
ton to bring in verdict of acquit-
tai.
IN his charge Judge Angel emplfa
sized that the case brought by the
government was q criminal action,
that the defendants were under in
dictment for a conspiracy to do a
criminal act in restraining trade
among the several states. He III.
structed them not to consider the
civil ease -whieh-hss been brought
against the defendants or to pay any
attention to the expediency or mex
pediency of the Sherman act,
"You must not be influenced by the
idea OF convicting these defendants
as an example," said the Judge. "A
verdict based upon such GROUNDS
would be shocking thing"
In summing up the case Judge An.
CELL referred to four points upon all
of which they must find against the
defendants IL they were to bring In
verdict of guilty.
"You must find that there was an
agreement meeting OF the minds
before April 8, when some of the de-
PENDANTS met in Mt. Clemens, as has
been described in the testimony. IL
you do not find such an agreement,
IL you find as the defense claims that
the steps taken before April were
merely tentative you must acquit the
defendants.
You must also find that the Mt.
Clemens meeting was an act in the
carrying out of the perevious agree
ment, and not merely discussion OF
details and terms OF agreement. You
must further fnd that the agreement
which these defendants entered into
was unlawful. that Ii constituted a
restraint of trade under the Sherman
act. And must call your attention
to the possibility Of restriction Of
competition without actual restraint
OF trade as contemplated by the
statute. You must find also that the
license agreement by which the man
ufacturers were allowed 10 use the
Arrott dredge was a mere subterfuge,
for a patentee has a right to fix the
terms upon which his patent may be
used, and these terms might be un.
lawful under the Sherman act 4
there were no patent involved.
You must further find a criminal
intent, taking into consideration the
uncertainty of business men and
lawyers with regard to the Sherman
act"
The government can carry the
matter no farther in case of acquit
taI," said District Attorney Tuttle.
"and the charge OF the Judge amount
ed to instructions to acquit"

LANSING, Mich, March 1.-THE
anti-brewery bill rooster has been
muzzled and has had its wings clip
ped and Its spurs amputated by the
house liquor committee, white the
anti-monopoly saloon bonding meas
ure has been reached by the insur-
ance committee OF the senate and Will
probably keep It pending the prepara-
ton OF q substitute modified bill.
The liquor committee In the house
has reported out the bill to prohibit
brewery-owned saloons but has
amended II SO that even a brewer
could swallow II with relish. The
bill as amended still prohibits brew
ery-owned saloons but permits brew
ery-managed saloons which is prob
ably a fair compromise from brew
cry viewpoint.
Another amendment exempts exist
ing contracts from the provisions OF
the act which presumably would
serve general notice on the interested
parties to get busy and negotiate pro-
tracted agreements.
The senate insurance committee
had meeting this morning and voted
TO postpone action on the bonding
bill indefinitely with the understand
ing that new bill would be prepared
--one that would reduce the size OF
the capital stock required for bonding
companies and thus create competi-
tion for the Michigan Bonding Co, 3
The governor submitted a message
this morning asking for law to pro
hibitkthe poliuting or streams by
sugar beet factories. A bill for that
purpose was introduced In the house
by Rep. Kern and an attempt to rush
1t through was turned down and the
proposed measure was referred TO
the health committee.
The, house committee OF the whole
has been wrangling over the state
wioe primary bill. introduced by Rep.
Oppenborn, and the Lord substitute
introduced by Rep. Clark.
The Oppenborn bill with an amend.
ment introduced also by Rep. Open
born, eliminates the general political
convention system, but provides for
& state convention of each party to
be held at the capitol at Lansing. and
10 be made up OF the candidates for
United States senator.
II Is also provided that this con-
yention of candidates shall name the
state central committee composed OF
at least two members from each con-
gressional district, and shall formu-
late the state platform.
The Lord substitute provides for
the perpetuation OF the exacting con.
vention system, not for nominating
purposes, but, as Rep. Lord explain
ed, with a view to perpetuating party
organization, interest and enthusiasm.
Rep Lord charges that the Open
born bill does not provide for the
necessary primary machinery.
Speaker Baker, on the floor, de-
tended the Oppenborn bill and alleg-
cd that the Lord substitute was the
$ last ditch OF the friends Of the old
convention system.
The senate committee of the whole
recessed until 2. II has been re-
ported that vote Is to be taken on
the Ball presidential primary bill to
make it Immediately effective, some
time during the day, but evidently
the necessary % Is not available.
