TO SEPARATION
NO MORE MERGERS PLANNED

NOT BE ANAL LeAMATED
WITH BIG CONCERN

Washington, Dec. 2O.-The greatest
antitrust victory sr President viii
sons administration thus far-the vol
untary dissolution of the so-called tel
ephone trllst-comman the atten,
ton Of all administration officials TO-
day.
Next to the fact that all the feat
ures against which the government
was preparing an antitrust suit will
be eliminated with the consent and
cooperation of big business" itself,
without years of court fighting. the
principal topic of discussion in adj
ministration circles was what effect
will the dissolution have on the move
ment for government ownership? 1t
had been generally expected in con
gress that such a plan would soon be
urged, as an administration measure.
With the voluntary dissolution Of
the so-called trust actually under way,
however Attorney General McReyn,
olds and the interstate commerce
commission today prepared to ar
range the details Of the separation
of the American Telephone and Tele-
grapn companies from Tie westara
Union and the work Of dissolving tele-
phone affairs throughout the country,
which threatened federal action.
Not only has the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph company agreed
to give up its control Of the Western
Union. but 1t has agreed not to extend
its monopoly Of local companies in
the telephone field.
Wants Federal Ownership
Representative Lewis of Maryland,
author OF the parcel post law and
active in the movement for govern
ment ownership of telegraph and tele-
phone lines, introduced a resolution
to direct the house postoffice commit
tee to go ahead and report a bill for
ownership of telephone
lines, to be operated by the postoffce
department.
In a statement accompanying his re-
solution, Mr.. Lewis contended that
the action Of the Bell Telephone com
pany to prevent litigation under the
antitrust law did not affect the legis--
lative situation at all.
THE action Of the Bell company
will not reduce a single telephone or
telegraph rate in the United States,
and SO the public necessity for legis-
latiye action to postalize these meth
DDS of communication, as they have
been in nearly all other countries, is
not affected in the least,' said he.
The Lewis resolution embodies a
plan BY which the telephone lines
would be appraised by the interstate
commission and the com
panies might appeal to the United
States circuit courts on the awards.
Pending litigation, interest at the
rate Of four per cent a year would be
paid TO the owners. The government
would issue three per cent bonds from
time to time as the acquisition Of
demanded.

DEFENSE CLAIMS ALIBI

WHEREABOUTS
PRISONERS ATTORNEYS THINK
DETECTIVES ARE WORKING
FOR REPUTATION

Toms River, N. J., Dec. 20.- Joseph
Moriarty came into court today for
the last day Of his trial, confident Of
acquittal. If the jury decides that
Moriarty, who also has gone by the
name of WilliamJ. Leehan, did not
murder Mrs. Caroline Turner, the
mystery of her death win be darker
than ever.
BY far the most interesting testi.
mony was the story Of woman who
said that on the night Mrs. Turner
was supposed to have died, an auto
mobile was wrecked near the wit
ness house and that she heard
voice she identified as Mrs. Turner's
calling for help. The defense con-
tends that Mrs. Turner'S death was III
some way connected with this auto.
mobile incident and that Moriarty is
innocent.
Before the summing up began coun-
sci for the prosecution agreed to adj
here to stipulation that conviction
would be asked for first degree mur
der only and that If Moriarty was Ii,
guilty Of that crime he was not guilt
Al
ii his closing speech for Tie
fense w. Il. jayne denounced ID

against Moriarty, he said, had been
worked up by detectives as a "eom-
mercial undertaking to advertise
their profession.

was wholly circumstantial and much
OF it perjured He coatandeF thak
the defense had accounted for Nor
iarty's actions on the day Of the al
legged murder so closely that only

DIGTATOR'S POWER SLIPPING
ENTIRE NORTHWESTERN MEXICO
NOW IS IN HANDS OF THE
coNsTlTUTIoNALlsTs

Maytorena, Sonora, Mex. Dec. 20
Deserters from the federal garrison at
Guaymas, few miles to the south of
the insurgent camp here, were arriv-
ing today. Their number, it was es-
timated, would aggregate 500.
Already IL officers have surrender
ed. Among them was Major B. Figuer-
ca, member of the staff of General
Pedro Ojeda, federal commandant at
Guaymas, and commander Of the cav
airy stationed at the gulf port.
The enlisted men appeared in groups
of five and ten, dutcovered and suffer
ing from want Of water and foodI
The federal officers here say that
many have not reached the constitu-
tionalist lines and are wandering from
ranch to ranch, or are lost in the
mountains.
1t was asserted that practically all
of the outposts placed about Guaymas
by the federal commander had desert
ed with their arms and ammunition.
The developments since yesterday
morning were considered death blow
to the Huerta government in the
northwest, marking the overthrow of
General Pedro Ojeda, whose stubborn
fighting alqhg the border and at Quay
mas long has been a menace to the
southwark progress of General Car
ranza's forces.
Deserters brought news of the dis
armament of the entire Tenth batta-
lion of infantry, numbering more. than
500 men. aE
These were disarmed following the
discovery of a plot to desert in a body,
officers and men, to the insurgent
side. This is believed to have reduc-
ed the federal garrison by one-half.
That General Ojeda himself would
accept amnesty was indicated by a
report reaching here from Cruz de Pie
ldra, the nearest point to Guaymas
held by the insurgents. Colonel F.
Mendez, commanding the constitu3
tionalists there, reported that the fed
eral commander had sought an inter
view with him under the agreement
that each should leave his base with
an equal number Of men and meet on
neutral ground. Colonel Mendez said
he had declined the offer, fearing
trap.
General Alfaro Obregon, commander
of constitutionalist forces in the north
west, remained heer today. The fed
eral officers who arrived assisted in
locating the scattered groups Of de-
serting federals. The deserters did
not constitute any one command, the
officers said, but came from various
regiments and battalions. This was
taken as an indication Of the complete
decentralization Of the federal garrison.
There are 1,1OO Mayo Indian troops
stationed here under command Of Cen
eral Juan Cabral, and 1900 insurgent
troops are at Ortiz, a few miles to the
north, all Of which will be moved into
Guaymas as soon as the city is eva
cuated and it becomes certain that
there will be no danger Of a lombard
ment by the two federal gunboats
which have been lying in the harbor-
