u. S. START BIG SUIT
AGAINST NEW HAVEN
Bill in Equity Filed in New York
Asks Dissolution of the Alleged
Monopoly.

New York., July 25.-Following the
instructions of President Wilson, the
federal department of justice has filed
in the United States district court here
bill in equity against the New Haven
road, accusing it of being monopoly.
The bill alleges the New Haven
has violated the Sherman act lin va
rious ways by restraining trade and
commerce in the New England states
and has acquired monopolies of rail-
roads and water transportation and
trolley transportation in Connecticut,
Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and New
York"
The bill asks for a dissolution of
the alleged monopoly. 1t emphasizes
the density of population in the terri
tory involved, which, it is claimed,
makes the violation of the Sherman
act more reprehensible.
The personal defendants named in
the suit against the New Haven are:
William Rockefeller John T. Pratt and
George F. Baker of New York; Charles
F. BROKER of Assenial, Conn; William
Skinner of Holyoke, Mass; D. Newton
Barney of Pennington, Conn; Robert
w. Taft of Providence, r. l.; James 8.
Elton of Waterbury. Conn; James S.
Heminway, Heaton Robertson, Fred
erick F, Brewster, Howard Elliott,
Arthur 4. Hadley and James S. Hus-
til of New Haven, Conn; Samuel Rea

of Newtonville, Mass, and w. Murray

to her southern frontier. On a peace
basis, the Italian army consists Of
slightly more than 100000 men. The,
held army in time of war would mus
ter nearly 100000 men, and could be-
raised by drafts from the mobile mill,
tia to 100000. Behind these troops
stand the territorial militia, partially
trained, forming what the French call
the levee en- masse, more than 2,000,-
600 men, mostly of doubtful worth.
Needless to say, Great Britain is not
expected to count for much in military
operations on land in general Euro
pean war. Her allies would expect her
to smash or bottle up the German
fleet, and then lend her navy to assist,
France in wiping out the Austrian and
Italian squadrons in the Mediterranean
and Adriatic seas. Doubtless, several
divisions Of the so-called expeditionary1
force of the British home army could
be sent over to France. But Britain's
most efficient help would undoubtedly
consist in attempting to destroy the
German navy and mercantile marine
and in blockading the German ports
of the North sea and the Baltic.
Where it would all end the N5isest
wiseacre could never say, and the in
dustrial and economic havoc such a
war would wreak would probably set
the world back half century, at least.
Its expense would run into the bill
lions, almost beyond computation. The
figures of armies given here, it must
be remembered, except in the case of
Italy, include only the active army
now in service, and the first and Sec
ond classes of reserves. Every coun-
try in Europe which practices con-
scription contains additional millions
of men, young and old, who are re-
garded as possible food for cannon.
Within a month between six and
twelve millions of men might be en-
gaged.-New York Evening Post.

Washington, July %. - Word has
reached the state department from
Mexico City that Carranza and Carba-

cal affairs of Tampico, and await the
result of the Saltillo conference.
1t was stated that the withdrawal OF
the American troops from Vera Cruz
will not be considered until the gen.
eral elections in Mexico are assured
and commissions are appointed to set
tie the indemnities due American in

u S. to Remain Neutral
in Servia-AuStrian Crisis

Washington.-In accord with pol
icy Of absolute neutrality, should the
Austro-Servian crisis develop into
war, any attempt by any Of the inter-

1t was pointed out that the recent
sale of the battleships Mississippi ana

serve as a precedent for further sale
of ships to any European government
These battleships were insists in the

DUBLIN BATTLE
FATAL TO -FOUR
Nationalist and Troops Clash
in the Streets.
FIGHT OVER SEIZED ARMS
Disappointed Citizens Attack Scottish
Borderers, Who Fire, Killing Two
Men and Two Women and
Wounding Scores.

Dublin, July 28.--Two men and two
women were killed and at least sixty
persons were wounded Sunday in the
first actual battle of the Irish en-
broglio. 1t was a fight between Irish
nationalist and the Kings Own Scot
fish Borderers, and has aroused great
excitement.
All the wounded are in hospitals and
it is reported that at least seven of
them are dying. Among the most Sc
verely hurt is M. J. Judge, prominent
officer in the Nationalist volunteers.
The fight was caused when the SOL
diers seized a consignment of contra
band arms destined for the National
lists. The arms had been landed at
Howth, seaport not far from Dublin,
and were brought to this city shortly
after noon.
The authorities, having received
secret information of the arrival OF the
rifles and ammunition, confiscated
them as soon as they were brought in
side the limits of Dublin.
The Nationalists, who had hoped
that the arms would be available for
use in the threatened clash with the
Ulster army, bitterly resisted the seiz-
ures, first in riots then in actual bat
tie with the troopers.
The Kings Own Borderers, one of
the prize" regiments in the British
army, formed a hollow square about
the confiscated arms. Presenting
stone wall front to approach from all
directions, the soldiers stood on guard
awaiting the onslaught of the Nation
alists.
When the expected charge came,
some of the Nationalist bearing arms
and others provided with stones and
similar missiles with which to pelt the
soldiers, the command was given to
fire.
Only one volley was fired, two men
and two women falling dead in the fore
front of the attackers while the wound
ed dropped all about them.
The Nationalist then retreated bear
ing their wounded with them and or
der was Immediately restored. 1t is
feared that other clashes may follow
this, the opening skirmish of the home
rule warfare, as there is intense bit
terness throughout Dublin over the
loss of life.
Excited crowds filled the streets at
night, many of the men bearing rifles.
The Kings Own Scottish Borderers
are confined to their barracks to pre-
vent an attack. A mob shortly after
nightfall stoned street car in which
a soldier in uniform was a passenger.
Belfast, July 28.-A parade of two
full regiments of Ulster volunteers
numbering several thousand men was
held here. All the men carried rifles
and their equipment included several
machine guns, which were strongly
guarded. The marchers traversed the
principal streets of the city and their
demonstration, the boldest exhibition
of Orange strength yet attempted in
the home rule struggle, aroused great
enthusiasm.

SLAIN By BANDITS
Brakeman of a L. & N. Train
Shot in Cold Blood.
HOLD-UP NEAR NEW ORLEANS
Robbers Take Small Sum From Con-
ductor of Flyer and Transfer Man
and Make Their Escape in
the Darkness.

New Orleans, July 27.-Just after
the New York flyer on the Louisville
& Nashville railway left this city on
Thursday, it was held up by two
masked bandits who shot and killed
Thomas Elgin, a brakeman. They
took $3.50 from the conductor and
$3.50 from a transfer man, fired at
a porter and escaped into the swamps.
The police Of New Orleans sent a
posse of so men to hunt down the pair,
and the railroad company sent out a
special train with number Of depu-
ties.
The men boarded the train at New
Orleans and remained in one of the
sleepers until the limited slowed for
the crossing. Then one of them pulled
the bell cord, bringing the train to
stop. Instantly the leader, tall man,
who appeared wearing a dark suit OF
clothes and white bandage around
his face, pulled his revolver and COM
PEELED Conductor Potter to throw up
his hands. While Potter was covered
with the gun, the smaller bandit went
through his pockets, taking S19.5O.
Just as they finished this work and
were starting toward the rear OF the
train, a transfer man from New Or
leans entered the car. The robbers
searched him and obtained $3.50.
Eglin came in about this time, and
one of the robbers coolly fired at him,
putting bullet in the brakeman's alb
domen and killing him almost instant
ly. One of the negro porters also en-
tered the car, and was fired at, but
lodged out of sight unframed
BY this time the train was humming
like bee hive with angry passengers.
and the leader of the band blew
whistle that hung around his neck and
ran to the door of the coach and
sprang to the ground. His partner fol-
lowed. Standing there in the dark
they fired half dozen shots down the
length Of the cars, driving everyone in
side for time.

Four Not Up to Mark.

Four companies of the South Caro-
Tina militia were found deficient upon
inspection by regular army officers
and disarmament was recommended.
A plea for an opportunity of bringing
them up to the required standards
was needed by the val department.
Some time afterward these commands
were reinspected, with the result that
the recommendation was renewed that
they be mustered out of the service.
Officers Of the United States army
have recommended that the following
companies be mustered out: Company
E, Barnwell, Third Regiment; Com
pany H, Conway, Third regiment;
Company B, Liberty Hill, First regi-

of the officers were transmitted to
the governor and he has so far neg
