bers of their families and those
connected with the business

Directors and Former Di-
rectors of New Haven
Face Jail Terms.
JURORS SELECTED


NEW YORK, oct. 13.-The long
~ pending trial Of the directors
and former directors of the New
York, New Haven & Hartford rail-
road, which will test the ability of the
government to obtain the conviction
of the directors of an alleged mOnop-
olisuC corporation under the sos
called criminal clause Of the Sher-
man law, was begun in federal court
today before Judge Hunt Three
tentative jurors were in the box at ad-
IOurnment.
The eleven defendants represent
wealth running into the hundreds Of
millions and it was remarked that
never before in the history Of the fed
eral courts had such a number Of
notable men been called to trial with
the possibility of terms in Jail facing
them.
The defendants are william Rookie
felIer. Charles f. Brooker, d. New
ton Barney, Robert w. Taft, James
$. Hemingway, Lewis Cass Ledyard,
Charles NJ. Pratt, A. Heaton Robert
son, Frederick r. Brewster, Henry
X. McIIarg and Edward ID. Robbins.
Some Granted Severance.
George NJ. Miller, another defend
ant, technically was granted a sever
ance Of his case but it was under
stood that the government will not
press the case against him owing to
bis extreme age and precarious
health. Six others Of the original
twenty-onc defendants have been
granted separate trials.
The appearance Of Mr.. Rockefeller
attracted the greatest attention. He
occupied a seat close TO the jury box
and listened to the examination Of
talesmen with the closest attention.
The examination Of the talesmen was
conducted for the defendants by De-
| lancey NiCOll, who tried to elicit an
opinion as to whether the growth of
| large railroad systems through the
| combination of small roads had not
! been necessary to the development Of
! the country, but in this he was re-
strained by the court on the prosecu,
| tons objection.
Mr.. NicOll read a list OF 275 cor
| poratiOns mentioned in the govern
ments indictment and bill of par
/ ticulars and Of more than seventy
persons connected with the case,
| either as defendant or alleged CO.
cousplrator, to ascertain from each
| talesman whether he had had deal
! ings with or was acquainted with
| them.

Although Outnumbered
Serbs Make Stubborn De
Tense Before Teutons.
ALLIES DISAPPOINTED
AT ITALY'S REFUSAL
Fear Is Felt That BuIgar-
ians May Refuse to Fight
Against Russians.

7 ONDON, oct. 1910 p. mD-
IL The near east with the Austro-
German and Bulgarian invasions Of
Serbia, the Anglo-French landing at
Saloniki, the promised active inter-
vention Of Russia and the diplomatic
possibilities in Greece and Rumania
continues to be the center Of interest
throughout the belligerent countries.
The Serbians, although greatly out
numbered by armies with superior
equipment are making stubborn
defense Of their country and while
the Austro- German progress is steady
il is very slow and probably will be-
come slower still when the noun
taius where the SeTbians are strongly
entrenched are reached.
or the Bulgarian campaign nothing
new has been received since Nlsh re-
ported the Tepulse of the lhNaueIs'
While the movements of the Anglo
French and Russian forces have thus
far been kept from the knowledge Of
me public The Russians have no
easy task before them If they intend
to land in Bulgaria. Varna and the
other Bulgarian ports on the Black
sea, where a landing might be maze
have been strongly fortified under lhe
direction Of German officers and are
protected by mine fields
Disappointed at Italy.
The Russians could sail down the
Danube as that is an international
waterway, but it is doubtful II they
have the necessary transports, Whhe
to come through Rumanla would re-
0uire the consent of the government
of that country which although con-
sidered friendly to the entente powers
might not wish to risk the displeasuIe
of Germany. .......,,
Some disappointment is expressed
here at the decision Of Italy not 10
participate. Italy has laid claim TO
great influence i'm the Balkans and is
known to have aspirations IN ASIA
Minor which the junction of Germans
and Turks. it is pointed out, would
virtually bring ID an end. with SUI
perfluous forces and excellent trans
port facilities, the view is he'd IN Lon
don that Italy is in a better poslton
than any of the allies to lend a hand
and the hope is expressed that she VIII
yet do so.
Bulgarians Divided.
In the meantime the allies are
closely watching developments in the
internal situation in Bulgaria where
many Of the people are averse TO fight
ing against the allies, particularly
Russia. 1t is reported from Paris to-
night that General Sayof, former
Bulgarian minister Of war and former
commander-in-chie of the Bulgarian
army, has resigned his command
rather than fight against Russia.

After Heated Session Vote
of Confidence Is
Finally Given.
M. DELCASSE RESIGNS
Failure i'll Handling Balkans
Checked Up to Poor
Diplomacy.
DARIs, Oct. 13 ~ p. mJ-The

ID ARIS. oct. 13 90 p. mD-The
Il government Of which Rene Viviani
is the head received decisive vote
of confidence in the chamber of
deputies tonight, 372 to 3, after long
and exciting session, in which the gov
ernments war policy particularly re-
lating to the Balkans, was severely
criticised by leaders representing the
important committees Of foreign, mill
tary and naval affairs.
The debate was signaliZed at the
outset by the announcement by
Premier Niviani of the resignation Of
Nj. Delcasse, which had been accepted,
Nj. Niyiani assuming the portfolio Of
foreign affairs in addition to the pres
idency Of the council NJ. Delcasse has
been in i'll health.
The final vote did not disclose the
extent Of the opposition to the gov
crnment as those who led the attack
Withheld their votes on the ground
that the government had not present
ed sufficient explanation to permit
iGcmbers to vote intellgcntly. The re-
suit was none less considered a nota-
bic tribute to the strength of the min
-siry at the moment of losing the min.
lister who had shaped the foreign pol
iCieS throughout the war and because
OF a concerted movement against the
entire ministry.
Many Didn't vote.
Between 12O ana 1870 deputies alb
stained from voting. These included
most Of the unified socialists. Twenty
of them, however, voted for the gov
crnmcnt
The dissentient nine were made up
Of four unified socialists and five so
Cialistic radicals.
The session was one of the most
tu bulent in recent years, the disor-
der becoming SO great while the final
vote was being taken that the presi-
dent left the chamber and the lights
were eXtinguished in order to sup
press the violent outbreak of one OF
the opposing members.
The chief criticism of the opposl-
ton was directed against the govern
ments lack Of foresight in attempting
to avert Bulgarias understanding
with Germany and lack OF energy in
failing to arrange for an ample land
ing force at SaloniH to offset the
German and Bulgarian move in the
Balkans.
In ringing reply NJ. Viviani de-
Tended the course Of the government.
He declared that 1t was obliged to
not only consult the parliamentary
committees but to maintain the good
faith Of its position with the allied
governments, which did not permit II
to lay a complete explanation Of all
the military policies before parlia-
ment He declared that NJ. Delcasse' s
resignation was not due to any dis
cord in the ministry as NJ. Delcasse
had always assented to the various
steps taken.

LITTLE GUNBOAT WENT
DOWN GLORIOUSLY

Petrograd, Aug, 23.-(via London)
The little Russian gunboat Sivutch
with a crew of 148 men is said by the
Petrograd newspapers to be the only
Russian warship lost in the Gulf of
Riga battle. Commander Tcherkassov
who distinguished himself at Port
Arthur, was IN command of the Siv-
utch. The number of survivors has
not been announced.
Although the president of the duma
announced that the German battle
cruiser Moltke had been sunk, there
appears to be some doubt whether
it was the Moltke or a vessel of that
type.
The only other German warship of
the Moltke type, according to nava,
records is the battle cruiser Goeben,
sold to Turkey in 1914, and renamed
the Sultan Selim.
