MAY UPSET MURDER THEORY.
Rumors Current That Woman Was
Killed by Autosts.

Toms River, N. j.. Dec. 19.-rnterest
in the Moriarity murder trial increased
today as the time approached for the
defense to reveal Its theory. The fact
that the prisoner, Joseph Moriarity.
alias William ]. Leenahan, has ,hs
aid OF prominent Lakewood family
supported the rumor that his attorneys
would present some unexpected evf-
dence to prove that he had no part In
the killing Of Mrs. Caroline Turner.
Mrs. Jasper Lynch, OF Lakewood
who is taking personal charge Of the
defense, said her only motive was to
save an innocent man. whom she be-
lieves is the victim Of q conspiracy. She
declared that she was not responsible
for the report that Mrs. Turner wak
run down and killed by a party OF
wealthy automobilists who carried the
body into the brush and permitted sus-
picion to fall on Moriarity.
There Is conflicting evidence as to
the cause Of Mrs. Turner's death. The
body was found with the face half
buried In sand and wounds on the face
and head that might have been caused
by blows from heavy club. Death. it
is contended, might have resulted eith-
er from the blows or from suffocation.
Court was in session until 10 O'Clock
last night and this morning the pros
ecution continued it's evidence.

Jones will take charge of the Des
Moines general offices and be general
manager of all the Rock Island lines
east of the Missouri river Jan. /, 1914.
He is well known here and his ap-
pointment means that not many
changes will be made in under offices
on the Iowa, Illinois and Missouri dd-
visions.
Mr.. Whitenton's withdrawal from the
service Of the Rock Island comes after
fifteen years service, extending from
telegraph operator to general manager.
The announcement came as a complete
surprise. Mr.. Whitenton has been gen.
eral manager of the Rock Island for
three years, and two years of this time
he has been a resident of Des Moines.

panbury Case Dseidsd by Federal
cour-6oyeekt Involved.
New York. Dec. 19.@rhe United
States court Of appeals decided thD HAss
nous Danbury hatterD caDs In favor OF
d. e. Loewe 4 Co, the p1ainta6. anAs
against the United Hatters oe Nosths
America. Tho court affirmed q jung
ment In favor OF Mr.. Loewo ana
against tho hatterS associations -
$4,000.
With interest and costs the JudGA
ment now amounts to 3272.000. At the
first trial held In 1909, the plainttms
obtained a judgment for 3232.2lO.
Judge Coke directed that 1t was no
longer debatable, that the anti-tr;ast
act Is applicable to such combinations
as are alleged in the complaint. and
that the act made no distinction be-
tween classes Of combinations or i'm
dividuals.
The court held that 1t had been
clearly established that the plaintiffs
were engaged in On interstate bust
ness. and that the defendants are
members Of a trades union, and afYili-
ated with the American Federation OF
Labor. "one of the objects Of the latter
organization being to assist Its MEM
bers to any justifiable boycott and with
financial help In the event Of a strike
or lockout" ls
1t was shown at the trial that in
March. 1901. the United Hatters had re-
solved to unionize the factory OF tho
plaintiffs and that Mr.. Loewe had been
informed by the union officials that the
hatters would resort to the usual
methods" in case their plan should
meet with opposition. On July s, 1909,
the paintiffs' employees were directed
to go on strike, and 1t is claimed that
almost Immediately boycott was es-
tablished. The plaintiffs assert that this
measure converted profit Of $4,000
In 1901 into losses ranging from $17, 900
in 1902 TO So. 900 in 1904
Judge Coke said in conclusion OF his
finding:
mo one disputes the proposition that
labor unions are lawful. All must nd.
NIT that they are not only lawful but
highly beneficial when legally and fair
ly conducted. but like all other combi-
nations. irrespective of their objects
and purposes. they must obey the law

tho regional banks after paying 5 per
cent dividends on the stock and estab-
fishing 20 per cent surplus would
have been divided among the member
banks and the government.
Insurance Fund Grated.
The senate has amended the bill 30
that the stockholders shall receive
per cent dividend. q surplus fund OF
40 per cent shall be established, ana
the remainder Of the earnings shall be
divided, one -half to the government as
q franchise tax, and the remainder
founding "depositor's insurance
fund" to reimburse depositors IN fail-
Ang member banks.
The senate has broadened materially
the character Of the paper which may
be eligible for rediscount and whcn
may be used as basis of currency.
Under the house bill only paper ma
turing in ninety days was avahaple'
but the senate made the provisions IN
clude six months paper to accommo-
date small banks in rural communities
which handle little short time paper.
More Amendments Defeated.
An entirely new physical policy was
proposed In an amendment by senator
Weeks but was voted down, A to ~. 1t
proposed that the surplus in the treas
ury at the end Of each year should be
applied toward reducing the national
debt.
An amendment by Senator Burton to
deprive the federal reserve board OF
power to suspend all reserve require
ments was defeated, Al to 81.
Senator Bristow proposed that this
board be prohibited from suspendtng
<H,<> ,}royv1onfa m tho gold reserve
against circulating notes.
Senator Root declared that without
the amendment the board could nullify
the provisions written in the bill last
night to check the depletion Of the gold
reserve.
Senator Owen pressed for vote on
his amendment, but Senator Burton
declared he had several amendments
to present. He then proposed to strike
out the provisions allowing the re-
serve board to authorize the new cur
rency for present bank note currency
as bank reserves.
Preposterous Feature.
Senator Root supported the Burton
amendment. declaring that the new
notes and the present bank notes
were simply promises to pay and there
fore absurdities as reserves.
"This is the most preposterous thing
7 have heard Of" he said. "since Mr..
iMicamber paid his personal obligation
by giving his note Of hand. It pro-
vided simply for debts for the security
Of debts"
The Burton amendment was defeated
40 to 81. Mr.. Burton then attacked
the provision allowing member banks
depositing half their reserve in the
federal reserve banks paper available
for rediscount An amendment to
strike out that provision was defeated
without q. roll call.
