served to make the surprise double

Washington.-The United States

port had not been heard from for 2(
days, fears were felt at the navy de

Every source Of the United States
government was being used to secure
some trace of the Prairie, which
sailed from Philadelphia nearly
month ago carrying $50 marines and
the American commissioners to Sante
Domingo.
The vessel was last heard from &c
tober 2 off the coast of Santo Domin

as a result of the revolutionary stu

COTTON CORNER TRIAL
u. S. SUPREME COURT HEARING
CASE AGAINST PATTON, To-.
SEALS, HAYNE, EFT Al.
Serious Defects Are Found in lndiet
ment Of Patten, Scales and
Brown. 3

Observation-Disclosures of de-
fects in the indictment of James Pat
ten, Eugene Scales, Frank B. Hayne
and William P. Brown on charges OF
conspiracy to run a 500 900 cor.
ner on cotton in 1910 on the New
York cotton exchange, in violation OF
the Sherman antitrust law were made
in the Supreme court Of the United
States by Solicitor General Bullitt fol
the government. The occasion was
the second argument v e the indict
ment, the court not being willing to
decide last spring the correctness OF
the decision of the New York court
in quashing several vital counts in
the indictment.
The new solicitor general had bare
ly stated to the court that the ques
ton in the case was the decision OF
the lower court that the Sherman anti
trust law did not prohibit the run
ming of a corner" before Chief Jus
tice White suggested that he would
be pleased to have the government
define just what it means by ''cor
ner." Mr.. Bullitt responded that II
was a combination among dealers in
a. commodity, or outside capitalists
for the purpose Of buying up the
greater portion of the commodity and
holding it back from sale until the
demand SO far outran the limited sup
ply as to advance the price abnor'
mally.
NOW, I want you to show how the
indictment fits that definition" added
the chief justice.
That led the solicitor general to an
nounce that he had abandoned the
third count of the Indictment, because
the lower court found there was nc
charge in it that the defendants were
to hold back the cotton from sale.

SCHOONER Is SEARCHED
Munitions of War for Mexico FOUND
on the Dantzler. I

Mobile, Ala.-The schooner L. M.
Dantzler was boarded and searched
here by United STATES revenue offl'
GERS, and, although government Off
Gals refuse to make any statement
it is said upon good authority that mu'
nitions of war destined for Mexico
were found on board.
The Dantzler was searched some
time ago by the revenue cutter Vino
ma at P~ascagoula, but nothing suspi
cious was found. Since the vessel
has been at Mobile three days, off,
Gals have suspected her Of loading at
night arms and ammunition for the
Mexican rebels at Vera Cruz, under
Felix Diaz, and when the search was
made she was apparently about hall
loaded.
Captain Fremont, a commander
we'll known in Southern ports, was
said to have been in charge of the
Dantzler, but government officials had
been. unable to reach him.
