SORENzON BADLY
 IN NEED OF SLEEP Rested Peacefully in Grease
 Pan of Elevated Road

Chicago December 12.-Osoar Sorenzon, after making a number of purchases in liquor stores ir the business district here today felt the need of sleep. He climbed an elevated railroad pillar and lay down In one of the Iron grease pans that are suspended under the tracks over cross ings. The temperature was far below freezing, but Sorenzon slept for some time, while elevated railroad employees de- bated on how to get him out He solved the problem himself by waking at the noise of a train passing over him and climbing to the tracks and starting to walk along close to the third rail, which is heavily charged with electricity. After he had walked few blocks he went to sleep again, this time between the tracks and while a half dozen elevated trains waited firemen with ladders took him down. He was arrested

PROTEST AGAINST ISSUANCE OF BONDS Charge New York Central
 Is a Trust A DISSOLUTION SUIT Stockholders of Subsidiary Line Claim They Do Not Wish to Assume an
 Obligation for Bonds for
 Improvements

Columbus, O., December 12.--A protest was filed here late today with the state utilities commission by stockholders of the New York Central railroad against the application for an issuance of s2400O,0Oo of bonds by the railroad for improvement in Ohio. It is declared the railroad is d trust and suit will be brought for it's dissolution under the provisions of the Sherman law.
 The letter of protest was signed by c. II. Venner & Co.,, bankers. s Wall street, New York, as stockholders in the New York Central and Hudson River railroad and the Michigan Central railroad and also by the Continental Security company of New York, as stockholders in the Michigan Central
 Representative of the protesting stock holders are expected here Monday when the application for the issuance of the certificates will be heard by the utilities board.
 In the letter the stockholders of the subsidiary lines declared that action lead ing toward dissolution would have been instituted before, had not the Union Pa- cific case been pending in the United States supreme court The delay Is fur
 
 Wade II. Ellis, former attorney general of Ohio, which was inclosed. It set forth that the government itself would have brought suit against the New York Cen tral system three years ago under an alleged violation of the Sherman anti trust law, but that the Union Pacific case embodied practically the questions in- volved.
 Under the application for the issuance of the equipment certificates, which was filed with the public utilities commission last Monday the New York Central and Hudson River, the Lake Shore and Michi- gan Southern, the Michigan Central, and the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis agreed Ito maintain said equip- ment and pay as rental therefor an amount sufficient to meet taxes, expenses and dividend warrants and the principal of said certificates as they mature"
 In protest, the Venner company de- clared: "rhe New York Central company by reason of its ownership of about 9o per cent of the stocks of the Lake Shore, which is acquired in violation of the Sherman act controls three distinct com peting lines between Buffalo and Chicago. By reason of the dominating control which the New York Central exercises over the several corporations above named, it has in the past compelled and is now seeking to compel such corpora tions to pledge their credit for the bene- fit of the New York Central and Hudson River railroad. AS stockholders of the Michigan Central, we object to that com pany assuming an obligation of SPA, 900, ,000, of which probably seven-eights is for the benefit of other corporations in which the Michigan Central has no financial in- terests whatsoever.

PEACE COMMISSIONS FROM THREE BALKAN
 STATES IN LONDON
{Continued From Page one)


 try, has resulted in the disturbance of causing considerable uneasiness here. Austrias tactics on the eve of the Bal kan peace conference and the meeting of the European ambassadors in London are unknown, though assurances have been received in Paris that Austria is oent upon peace if what Is called passive peace be possible.
 Roumanias suggestion that her rep resentative participate in the ambassa- dorial conference has not been voiced by either France or Great Britain as 1t is desired to limit the discussion to the six great powers. Premier Venezelos of Greece declared that Greece was cer- tain to negotiate side by side with her allies at the peace conference. He ad- initted that a number of problems existed among the allies. but declared that all of them recognized the necessity of maia- taining the Balkan confederation strong and indissouble.
 The Temps which is considered to reflect the views of the government. thinks ev- erything tends to confirm the feeling of uncertainty and uneasiness.
 Reviewing the attitude of Austria dur ing the last six months. the paper points out that in 1909 when she had to defend the annexation of Bosnia and Herze- SONnla, AuStlla nldue lIlllldfy pftIdTdllun on considerably smaller scale than those she has recently undertaken and also that Austria is making these prepara- tions in the presence of the pacific Russia and a Servia, which is ready to abide by the will of the great powers.
 Other conservative opinion in Paris is that impartial observers must conclude that the cabinet at Vienna is making ready to attack Servia on one pretext or another, n wishes to be master of the negotiations at London.
 The SeIvian peace delesete, NI Niko- fitch. quoted in an interview by the Petit Parisien, expresses pessimistic views as to the prospect of Servia obtaining Durazzo.
 ''I cannot hope he said. that We will get Durazzo. l believe that once more might will prevail over right, and that before the solid front of the triple alll- ance and the responsibilities of fright ful war. the governments will draw back.
 ''I fear that the Austrian bear will place his heavy paw on us. Putting myself m the position of the other nations. l quite understand their willingness to risk such war Reduced to our own resources, We must see what we have to do and where our duty lies. But we will fulfill that duty to the bitter end.

.ROHN'S INSANITY ]
 PLEA 0VERRULED Eight Witnesses Examined, One Being Herring Child DEPENDANT IS SANE
Physicians Appointed by Judge to Ex- anime Prisoner-Mrs. Stockmar Describes Shooting of
 Mrs. Herring

When court adjourned at s o clock last night. eight witnesses had been examined for the state in the case of Harry Rohn on trial in the first division of the criminal court, charged with the murder of Mrs. Kate Herring at East Lake about a year ago.
 Mrs. stockmar who was the first wit ness for the state, was present in the house when Mrs Herring was killed. She testified that Rohn was in his room and that Mrs. Herring carried a cup of cof- fee to him. A little later she heard Mrs. Herring call for help and as she rushed to the door she heard a shot and saw the flash of a gun, but at the same in- stant the lights in the room went out. She described the condition of Mrs. Her ring when assistance was procured and the nature of her injuries. She stated that Rohn was the only man in the house when, the killing occurred.
 Willie Herring. the 10-year-old son of the dead woman, gave practically the same evidence as the first witness, and proved good witness for one so young. Dr. Garrison, the physician who was called to attend to the woman, described the nature Of the wounds and said in his opinion Mrs. Herring was shot in the back, the bullet passing through her heart. He described the appearance of the dead woman as he found her that night.
 The other witnesses were not present at the shooting, but related circumstances done. None of the witnesses thus far have testified that they saw Rohn leave the house.
 Previous to getting into the trial the attorneys for the defense made strong efforts to have the indictment quashed and the trial continued. They filed de- murrers to the indictment and to the in- dictment and to the manner in which the jury was organized, which were ovei. ruled by Judge Fort. They then filed e motion to change the plea from not guilty to not guilty by reason of insanity. The motion was objected to by Solicitor lief lin, who said he had had no notice of the motion and was not prepared to meet it. Judge Fort denied the motion, hold ingsthat the plea of insanity should have been made when the prisoner was ar raigned.
 The defense then demanded an investi- gation of the present sanity of the de- fendant and the court appointed Dr. B. l.. Wyman, a specialist Tn brain dlSor- ders and pr. Hambrick, county physician. to make an examination of the defendant as to his sanity.
 The physician, after a 20 minutes ex- animation, reported to the court that the defendant was not insane. motion for jury trial as to the defendants sanity was denied and the, trial proceeded on it's merits The first witness went on the stand about 2 ,o'clock,s It is prob- ables thats the. evidence swiil @be concluded today. st ,S.f

Allege Judge Stiles Paid the '@ State Too Much
LIQUOR LAW INVOLVED
City Charges That Too Much Was Paid State for Salaries of the Excise Commissioners
 During 1911


 Alleging that Judge J. P. Stiles paid money into the treasury of the state that properly belonged to tine city of Birming- ham, Romaine Floyd, city attorney. has entered suit in the city court to recover s21s2o5.
 The style of the suit is the city of Bir- rningham vs. J. P. Stiles and grows out of the payment and division of the money paid into the probate court for liquor license.
 Under the provisions of the Smith bill, the probate judge, who issues the liquor licenses, is required to pay into the state treasury out of the first money collected from liquor licenses s11, 400 for the pay ment of the salaries of the excise com mission and their clerk. Of the balance of the money. 65 per cent is paid to the city, 9 per cent to the county and 10 per cent to the state. When the liquor law went into effect in September, 19l1, the liquor dealers paid $500 for three and 2 half months business, or 60 per cent of the yearly license Of this money Judge Stiles paid into the treasury of the state for salaries of excise commission sss4o or 60 per cent of the sll,4OO required by law.
 The city contends that the amount that should have been paid into the state treasury was S34s3, the actual amount of salaries paid to the excise commission and their clerk for their three and a half months services in 1911. The city claims s2lS205 as it's part of the money alleged to have been wrongfully' paid into the state treasury.
 Judge Stiles contends that he has com- piled with the law and that the amount paid to the state was correct.
