Judge L. S. Roam. who will preside
at the trial of Mrs Grace, had not de-
cided today whether the trial would be
held in private, but it seems assured
that few, if any, persons besides court
officials and newspaper men actually
engaged In reporting the case will be
admitted
Judge Roam is visibly annoyed az the
questions insistently asked him, as he
must, of course, decline to discuss the
case in any manner. He takes the no.
sition that the case of the State VS..
Mrs. Daisy Grace is merely No. 1 on the
court calendar, differing in no wise
from the rest of the routine, and he
will not be drawn into any expression
regarding 1t or its Importance.

In the main, he Is expected to veto it
outright. but there are those who be-
lieve he will veto 1t conditionally-tha
he will send it back with the sugges

New York Prosecutor Is Now
Nearly at Bottom of Herman
RosenthaI Case.
ANOTHER OF ACCUSED
is CAPTURED IN CITY
confessing Chauffeur Further
duplicates Police in Story to
District Attorney.


Of the alleged assassins of Herman Ro-
senthal, the gambler who gave infor-
nation concerning police grafters, in
custody and sufficient evidence secured
to obtain indictments for murder
against four men, District Attorney
Whitman declared today that he had
made a long stride toward getting at
the bottom of the crime. The latest
suspect captured is "Dago Frank" one
of the men who rode in the murder
car" to the scene of the assassination.
The fact that he was arrested in the
city is taken as proving the truth of
the charge that nearly all Of the hunt
ed" men are still in New York.
"Dago Frank" who has a record as
burglar and has used many aliases,
when he was locked up said his name
was Frank Cirosici. He was arrested
at 523 West 134th street He is de-
clared by the police to be one of the
actual assassins.
The arrest was made by Detectives
Upton. Casa, McKenna and McManus.
who had been sent to look up Cirosici-
With him they arrested Rosie Harris,
also known as Regina Gordon, and
Abraham Lewis. or Fat Able" as his
intimates knew him. They were held
as material witnesses.
All three prisoners were under the
influence of opium when arrested, ac-
cording to Deputy Commissioner
Dougherty, who questioned them until
early this morning before giving out
their names.
Stories Of Prisoners
Fail to Agree.
Only the Harris woman was able,
Dougherty said, to give a clear account
OF her movements on the night Rosen-
thai was murdered. She attempted to
establish an alibi for "Dago Frank" by
stating that she saw him about the
time Rosenthal was murdered, but the
accused man denied this and insisted
that he was out Of town.
Deputy Police Commissioner Dough
erty and Inspector Hughes later gave
out a statement. in which they said
"Cirosici is charged with completely

MISTAKE CAUSES
PANIC IN JUAREZ
American Officer and Men Lose
Directions; Mexicans Be-
Iieve Them Invaders

Ell PASO. Tex, Feb. 15.--Excitement
bordering on panic prevailed in Juarez
shortly before noon today when 10
armed United states soldiers of the
Eighteenth infantry. commanded by
Lieutenant Ben W. Fields, crossed the
International bridge on a streetcar to
the Mexican side. The panic continued
all day and resulted in a complete sus-
pension Of business and communities
tion between the two cities. including
the postponement of the Juarez pacess'
When the car reached the Mexican
side it was stopped and boarded by
half a dozen Mexican customs guards.
Hundreds of excited Mexicans, many
armed, gathered quickly upon learn
ing of the so called American fnva-
sion"
Lieutenant Fields explained that his
force was en- route to one of the bridges
for patrol duty and crossed to the Mex
ican side by mistake. After consid-
erable parleying, in which Mayor San
tiago Maestas of Juarez participated
the American soldiers were permitted
to recross the Rio Grande.
However, the excitement in Juarez
continued, and on request of the Mexi-
tdH luleIndllOndI SIfeelCdI
traffic was suspended for the day, sa
looms in Juarez were closed and in
creased American and Mexican guards
patrolled the bridges across the Rio
Grande, allowing no one pass except
upon official order.
Later Lieutenant Fields explained the
incident by saying that he had come
to FL Paso three days ago, was not
familiar with the town, and did not
know he was crossing the Rio Grande
until stopped by Mexican guards.
Colonel E. u. Steever, in command of
American troops here, tonight explained
that the incident resulted entirely from
a mistake. All day he has made use of
every means to quiet the apprehension
of the Mexcans, and tonight conditions
in Juarez approached the normal.
In this effort he has been joined by
American Consul Edward in Juarez.
When the excitement was at its height
today Consul Edwards dismissed an.
extra guard sent to his residence, say
ing that they were not needed.

RAILROADS Of
STATE MUST
Change RATES
Commission Holds Carriers Shall
File Tariffs Conforming
With New Orders
Many So Far Out of Tune With
the Law as to Be Clearly
Illegal

A complete reorganization OF the
railroad rates of California will follow
upon the determination of the state
the long and short haul amendment to
the constitution. The state railway
commission took a definite stand yes
terday, holding that the carriers must
file their tariffs so modified as to con-
form TO the new requirements.
1t appears that a vast number OF
rates, principally those of the Southern
Pacific. are in violation of the recently
enacted provisions. Practically half a
million rates are so far out of tune with
the basic law that they will become
clearly Illegal AS a result they must
be changed. The effect will be to revo-
lutionize the rates between interior
points. The changes are aH designed to
benefit the shippers and to reduce
transportation cost.
The constitution as 1T stood for many
years contained a clause absolutely for
bidding a railroad to charge more for
short than a long haul when the for
mer was contained within the latter.
The law was never needed. Modern
thought has sanctioned the higher rate
for the shorter distance when the rate
on the long haul is forced down by
reason of water competition. At the
last state election the constitution was
amended so as to allow carriers TO
charge more for the short haul when
the state commissioners should give
their consent The commissioners. fol-
lowing the practice of the interstate
commerce commission, will allow high
er rates for the short haul only in the
face of actual water competition.
In seeking to adjust rates to the
new standard fixed by the commission

JOHN D. DEFEATED
in BITTER Fight
Rockefeller Crowd Checked in
Efforts to Get Control of
Waters-Pierce Company

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 15.-In bitter fight
which ragged today at the stock hold
ers' meeting for annual election, Henry
Clay Pierce and his associates check
mated the efforts of John D. Rookie
feller and the Standard Oil company
interests to take absolute control of
the waters-Pierce Oil company.
The move of the Rockefellev-Stan
ard Oil interests to exercise csntrol
over the Waters-Pierce company, ac-
cording to a statement given out by
one of Pierce's representatives. is part
of a countrywide plan to perpetuate the
oil monopoly. Pierce also charges the
Standard plans to control the oil busi-
ness of Mexico.
The good faith of the Standard Oil
people in complying with the decree of
the United States supreme court dis
solving the oil trust, was attacked in
the Pierce statement
The prize at stake in the fight waged
today is shown by testimony in a re-
cent suit that the Waters Pierce con-
scern in one year declared dividend
of $4,000.
Although Standard interests own IS
per cent of Waters-Pierce stock, the
Pierce interests refused to count the
ballots of John D. Rockefeller, John D.
Archbold and their associates, alleg-
ing that they were attempting to per-
tenn in contravention of the decree of
the supreme court dissolving the trust
and the decree of the Missouri supreme
court ousting it from this state.
The kefeller-Standard Oil inter-
ests filed mandamns suit to compel
the tellers appointed by Pierce to
count the Standard Oil ballots, but the
tellers refused to accept them and de-
clared the Pierce slate of directors
elected.
The controversy between the con-
hicting interests will be fought out in
court. beginning before Circuit Judge
Kinsey, Saturday, when. the alternative
writ of mandamus comes up for argu-
ment

in the Central bank. was in
reality Sir Henry Westwood Cooper,

nence in San Francisco and the bay

capture and prison sentence followed.
Abraham obtained no money on the
forged draft, and the only charge that
can be placed against him is the vio-

Abraham, made another visit today to
the house in Liese avenue, where
Abraham lived with his wife, II year

Although Abraham's scheme was to
obtain $4,000 by depositing the

was said today bv the bank officials
that the forgery was crude and was
