SEPARATE TRIALS DENIED.
Alleged conspirators in Dynamite Case
to Be Tried Together Oct. I.


Indianapolis, March 13.-All the de-
PENDANTS indicted for violation of the
federal statute governing transpor:a-
tion Of explosives must go on trial in
one cause on Oct. /. according to the
final ruling Of Judge A. B. Anderson
today. after he had heard arguments of
attorneys for the defense on motion
for separate trials.
."Not guilty was the plea Of forty
six men arraigned yesterday afternoon
in federal court here on indictments
charging completely in the alleged con-
spiracy unlawfully to tronsport dyna-
mite from state to state. Judge A. b.
Anderson overruled all demurrers OF
the defense. but granted thirty days for
the fling Of exceptions to his ruling.
A motion to consolidate the cases,
made by United States District At
torney Charles w. Miller, was sus-
tained, but the court consented to hear
attorneys for the defense today II they
decided to petition for separate trials.
Elijah Zolire Of Chicago. one of the
attorneys for the defense, began the
argument in support Of q motion to
ouas sh the indictments on the ground
that many Of them charged the same
offense Of conspiracy to transport ex-
plosives from state to state illegally.
Judge Anderson interrupted Mr.. 70
line with a statement that the motion
to uuash the indictments on the ground
Of confusing multiplicity was absurd. .
"These defendants will never go to
trial without thoroughly understanding
.rhat they are charged with" said he.
sThey will not be embarrassed or corr
fused IN this court. The motion is
overruled." sss

The fight was mainly based upon

members who struck against n glass

The decision prohibited the strikers
from personally molesting the strike
breakers in any way and interdicted

President Of Republic Of China Hold
Prisoner in Palace.

Prisoner in Palace.
Picking. March 13.-President Yuan
Shi Kai Is a prisoner in his own pal
ace and the fate OF the great republic
of China still hangs in the balance.
Three regiments Of Msnchu troops
guard the entrances to the palace,
where the newly installed head Of the
nation remains afraid to venture forth
because Of the danger OF assassination.
Foreigners are virtual prisoners In
the legation compounds. The outcome
is impossible to forecast. but the final
test must come before many days.
The streets OF the city are full OF
headless bodies and the danger OF
plague Is great. The bodies are those
OF men punished for looting during the
recent rioting. and it rs believed few
were guilty. Not single body was
in uniform. which indicates all were
civilians, the majority being coolies
They were slain. it is claimed. because
it was necessary to provide victims to
back up Yuan's declaration that bandits
were being punished.
While these helpess victims were be-
ing decapitated by the headsmen-sol-
diers. with their swords-real thieves,
all garbed in uniform ana many bear
ing on their collars insignia showing
that they were officers Of the imperial
army, were carrying out OF the city
thousands OF wagon loads OF the most
valuable loot. Gold, silver silk. and
other treasures taken from the houses
looted have been stored in safe places.
And the majority Of rioters are back
with the army defiantly waiting for the
signal to turn again to looting and
murder. The old style troops with
their picturesque uniforms and equip
merit have been bantshed. They were
torn from the halls of the city the flags
torn from the falls of the city the flags
of the great republic raised in honor OF
the Inauguration OF the new president.
They are bitter against the republic
and the republican leaders.
But Yuan does not dare to disarm
them. He does not know what minute
he may be called on to summon them
to the aid OF his 'Manchu troops and the
loyal forces Of the Third division who
stand between him and another up
rising.
The legation quarter Is closed and
carefully guarded. Cannon and rapid
firing guns have been mounted where
they can sweep the approach to the
gates. Picked gun crews are on duty
night and day.
II trouble comes 1t will fnd the for
eigners ready to defend themselves.
