LONDON, Aug. II t9:453. - While
the Russians are fighting desperately
to extricate themselves from the cor
don of Austro-German troops, which
steadily is pressing them more close

feverishly and with considerable sue
cess to open the Dardanelles through
which they hope to pour into Russia
much-needed munitions of war.
Since Saturday night, when fresh
British forces were landed on the Gal
lipoli peninsula, there has been al
most continuous fighting on the

These actions are believed here to
be preliminary to more ambitious

the AngloFrench commanders to
sweep the Turks before them. Very

inflicted on the Turks have had dis

troops, according to reports from

IN BIC ACTION

w. Reynolds, O. W. Belden, G. w
Cook. ]. E. Lane, the Cook-Reynolds
company and the Ford Creek Ranch
company, was brought to issue Mon

answer.
The action was brought to have set
aside deed of convenance from the
defendants to the Cook-Reynolds com
pany to what is known as the Ford
Creek ranch property. comprising
3.S42 acres, alleged by the plaintiffs
to be of the value of at least $57.-
637.30, basing this on valuation of
SIS an acre. In general the basis of
the action is the claim of inadequacy
of consideration, it being alleged that
there was some misrepresentation In
the securing of the original option
contract from the plaintiffs.
The defendants deny the material
allegations of the complaint and set
out that all obligations required under
this contract have been performed by
the Cook-Reynolds company except as
to the payment of a balance of
$2.53947, which the company is ready,
willing and bale to pay "and hereby
offers to pay"
The plaintiffs then ask for an ac-
counting for the personal property

the plaintiffs and that judgment be
given against them.

torneys.

ORDERS MORE LIGHT
ON NEW HAVEN CASE
Court Lets William Rookie
Teller and Others Have New
Facts About Charges.
"PLOT" TO BE OUTLINED

Judge Hunt of the United States Dis
trict Court ruled yesterday that the
volumlnous bill Of particulars filed re-
Gently by the Government In the case OF
William Rockefeller and twelve other
defendants In the New Haven prosecu-
tons was not sufficiently enlightening as
to one of the charges. Consequently
the Judge ordered Assistant United
states Attorney-General Frank NJ.
Swacker to furnish additional particu-
defence 10 the charge that they con-
spired to violate the Sherman law.
The Government, Judge Hunt said.
must amplify Its assertion that the de-
PENDANTS named were parties to a con-
spiracy formed as far back as 1890.
| The defendants, he said, were entitled to
know what acts the Government would
charge them with having committed
during the earlier stages OF this con-
spiracy, or prior to three years before
the indictments.
Mr.. Swacker in opposing the granting
Of further particulars told Judge Hunt
that a printed record of 400 pages or
more would be required to furnish the
defendants with full Information as to
all the resolutions passed by them and
the acts committed by them in the
alleged conspiracy during the period
mentioned.
Judge Hunt In his order gives Mr..
Swacker fifteen days in which to tur-
nish the additional Information. Inc
Judge said:
.aThe biz Of particulars substantially
informs each of the defendants that
after the date on which he joined the
conspiracy charged. as an agent, ofncef
and director, he participated in the pas
sage of such orders and resolutions
made and adopted such committee re-
ports &c. as would keep up the com
b,nations made before he joined.
The bill. Judge Hunt added. Is sum
GENTLY explicit as TO the acts which the
Government charges the defendants
Win having committed in fuFtherance
OF the conspiracy during the three years
preceding the Indictment. But the de-
PENDANTS. the Court said, are entitled 70
know what they did before that time
that may be used against them AT the
trial.
"In other words said the idge' 'nt
chalge that there was a consplrac!
formed about 1890 which existed there
after should I've particularlzed by a state
ment of the basic facts W the
c~reative features OF the alleged con
spiracy,'

UPSETS RATES On LIVE. STOCK
Com Board Bases Ruling OF
Cummin.'s Amendment.

wAsuiNGroN, Aug. 2i-In an opinion
d!sposing OF the complaint OF the Iowa
state Railroad Commission and others
against the Atchison. Topeka and santa
Fe and about forty-four other carriers
serving the territory west of Chicago In
shipping live stock the Interstate Com
merce Commission held that the Cum
minis amendment has In effect abolished
the whole system OF released rates based
on agreed valuations as distinguished
from actual value"
The commission found that the rates
now charged by the carriers for snip
ments of live stock are unreasonable
high and that the carriers have under
valued the animals shipped.
The order of the commission adds
about so per cent to all except valua'
ton of sheep, The Importance OF the
ruling lies in the fact that the Cummin'
amendment makes the carrier liable fol
the actual value instead of the specified
or contract value in case of loss. The
ruling lowers the rate for transportation
and increases the amount OF liability II
case of loss In transit,
October Is is fixed AS the date wher
the new rates and valuations go int
effect.
