Long Steep Ridges Around NeWtOwn Give Defending
 "Bues" Many Natural Advantages

of thin smoke. and heard the resona- nance of the discharge. The artillery had been behind the trees @ long dis tance from the hill. A cloud of vel low dust preceded 1t. The umpires turned in their saddles with field glasses to watch it.
 Surprised the Trench Defenders.
 The boom of the cannon took the trench defenders by surprise. The roar of the guns was enough to assure General Pew that the hillside would soon be deserted, and he began send ing his Second Massachusetts, which had been held in reserve to help out his right wing,
 This made the Red formation across country from left to right consist of the Second, Ninth, Sixth and Fifth regiments of Massachusetts and the formation of the Blues from right to left. Fourth and First New Jersey, with the Fifth coming up as a rein fOrcement
 Both Hanks Turned.
 Driven out of the trenches by the artillery fire the Blues were then open to attack by the infantry, who poured up from the base of the hill by the hundreds, the firing being the heavi- est and steadiest of any exchanged during the war. The right wing of the Blues was quickly turned and after ward the left wing.
 Held Reds in Cavalry Fight.
 Meanwhile there was "a lively caval- Ty fight about three miles south of the main fight General Pew had sent two troops of cavalry south of Huntington to ward of any attempt of the Blue cavalry at Bridgeport from rushing to t1e aid of the Blues at Walnut Tree hN and to also attempt to reinforce the Red left wing if successful The Blue cavalry and the Red cavalry came together and in a sharp fight here the Blues held the Reds back but made no further progress north.
 Heat Hard on Horses and Men.
 The extreme heat was the hardest yet on horses and men and scores of infantrynen were to be seen stretched out along the roadsides with water soaked handkerchiefs over their heads to give relief from threatened sun strokes. Many of the horses were in poor shape after the fight, and a run away added to the general excitement when one horse threw a trooper and rushed over the roads into Huntington Green, where the dragging saddle flew against passing team and was rip ped from the animals back.
 New Jersey Men Deserted.
 Newark, N J., Aug. 14.-F'our alleg- ed deserters from the Fifth Regiment, N. c. N.

 His Own Cause
NO NOTE OF DUPLICATION FROM THE LABOR CHAMPION.
DENUNCIATION FOR ALL
Who He Charged Had Plotted Against Prosecuted for Labor's Sake.

Los Angeles. Cal. Aug. 14-Clar- ence s. Darrow. recognized as one of the foremost champions of organized labor and defender in the courts of its leaders and principles, today pleaded his own case in his trial for alleged jury bribing.
 At the outset he informed the jury that he would not appeal to their sym pathies and there was no note of sup plication in his opening remarks. In stead he denounced those who had, he said, plotted to destroy him. No man or organization involved in lis prose- cution escaped denunciatton.
 Left No One Out.
 Assistant District Attorney W. J. Ford, who sat near him, was made the object of many tnvect1ves; District At torney Fredericks and Detectives W. J. Burns were termed the tools of the Steel trust; the National Erecsors' as- scc1ation, which he designated as the arch-conspirator against him, because of his labors for the worhingman, was bitterly assailed as an enemy of soci- ety. Collectively all were called "as cruel a band of cTtthroats as ever pursued a man since the world NaS born"
 Darrow declared he was not being prosecuted for bribery. but because he had led in the battle for organized labor.

AsToR HEIR ARRIVES.
ga, ,oooo GOO Baby is a Boy Whose Nanse
 Will Be John Jacob Astor.

New York, Aug. 14.-Mrs. Madeleine Force Astor, survivor of the Titanic disaster, in which her husband, the late Colonel John Jacob Astor, lost his life last April, gave birth to son at e.15 o'clock this morning. The new arrival has been named John Jacob Astor, after It's father. The baby be- comes a direct heir to 8, ,o00, 900 of the Astor fortune.
 News of the arrival of the Astor ba- by was made known in a bulletin is- sued by Dr. Edwin B. Cragin, the at tending physician. The bulletin reads:
 'FMrs. Astor has son. born at 8,15 o'clock. His name Is John Jacob As- tor Mother and son are in good con- dition."
 The fact that it's father proved him self hero in the Titanic disaster by stepping aside 10 lst women and chIl- dren take places in lifeboats and that the wife from whom he then parted was his bride of but a few months, coupled with the large fortune which was provided for 8 posthumous child, have lent unusual interest to the ar rival of the youngest Astor.
 The new Astor baby will be one of the few children ever born with for tune as large as s3,000,000 in its own right. Colonel Astor had provided that whether the child was a boy or girl it should receive the same sum, and even if the stork brought more than one child, Colonel Asor's will also covered that contingency. as it read as follows:
 T bequeath such number of sep arate sums of s3,000,O00 each as shall be equal to the number of my children who shall survive me, other than my son, Vincent Astor, and my daughter Ava Muriel Astor."
 The latter children are by Colonel Astor's first wife, Mrs. Ava Willing AstOr

 Attack on Roosevelt and Perkins.

Attack on Roosevelt and Perkins.
 Washington, Aug. 1.-The person. al and political relations of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt and George w. Perkins, formerly of J. P Morgan and company were bitterly attacked on the floor of the house today by Repre- sentative A. o. Stanley of Kentucky, who is chairman of the steel trust in vestigation committee. In a speech supporting his bill to make the reports of the commissioner of corporations available for congress, Representative Stanley charged that Perkins had protected the Harvester trust from government prosecution, and describ- ed Perkins as the "go- between" of Big business and the government.
 Representative Stanley's character izations of the former Morgan asso- clate were extremely bitter. He delt at length on the absorption of the Tennessee Coal and Iron company by the United States Steel corporation. and charged that Perkins had been able to secure from Herbert Knox Smith, former commissioner of corpo- rations information which was denied congress. The new progressive party came in for an extended discussion at the hands of Stanley.
 T hear that this new party of pro- gressive capitalism" he said, Twill sing hymns between the tirades of Roosevelt and the platitudes of Per kins and that Perkins is to be choir leader l would suggest that they paraphrase the war cry of the Mussul- man and adopt with slight modifica- tion, as the battle hymn of the faith ful from Wall street. the chant of the Turkish genesis:
