the defense in the trial of the eleven
directors of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad under the Sher-
man antitrust law, lost legal battle
at the outset of the introductionsoft the
governments first evidence in the case
today.
The statute Of limitations was used
as an argument against the consider
alton of evidence having to do with
acts committed prior to 1912, until
acts committed within the subsequent
three year period were first placed be-
fore the jury.
Judge Hunt ruled against the attor-
neys. He held that the government
was entitled to present prima facie
evidence that a conspiracy existed
from the beginning.
Charles s. Mellen, former president
of the New Haven, awaiting to be call
ed as witness for the government,
was an interested listener.

Worthless Paper Is Passed
on Storekeepers for
Small Purchases
FORGE NAMES OF
WELL KNOWN MEN
Amount of $12 Drawn on
Each Order; Police Are
After r. L. Dennis

Four ottumWa grocery stores were
the victims OF forged checks Tuesday.
and today the police department swore
out warrant for r. l.. Dennis, chare.
ing MIN with passing worthless checks.
me places visited were G. R. Funk,
Henry Throne, r. Hipsley and Sam
hedman. The checks were for Sl2
and were forged on H. w. Merrill and
>. l.. Hartman, and bore the name OF
r. A. Denton.
Dennis came to Ottumwa about a
year ago and has worked at cleaning
wall paper for some time. Some time
ago he worked for Sam Redman and
when he called at the store to buy
some groceries with one of the bogus
checks he reminded Mr.. RedInan or
the time when he had worked for him.
The manner of cashing the checks
was to enter the store, order guam
t1ty OF goods and have them sent to
some fictitious address. The check
would then be produced for payment
OF the bill and the forger would get
away with the change.
Mr.. Redman became suspicious or
his check when driver for Mr.. Hip
sley called at the store and asked IL
an order had been sent to an address
on Ransom street. Mr.. Redman had
just dispatched the order and when
told that the woman at that .address
had received two orders he took the
check to the bank MI. Redman, said
that the bank was going to cash the
check and he told them what he had
learned. 1t was found on inyestiga-
tion to be worthless.

Des Moines, Oct 20. = Iowa suffra-
gists at the annual convention of the
Iowa Equal suffrage association which
opened here today regretted the de.
feat of the suffrage amendment in New
Jersey yesterday, but were not sur

way tn1ure the suffrage cause in Iowa, :
said Miss Flora Dunlap Of Des Moines,
president of the state association In
opening today's convention.
while the defeat is very much to
be regretted, I do not think eastern
sentiment is as far advanced for suf-
frage as western sentiment. This elec-
ton will not be the last one, and
people viii be educated"

OFFICERS TELL
OF BIG VICTORY
THE RUSH OF FRENCH MASSES
SWEEPS GERMANS BACK
FROM FRONT LINES. 4

Paris, Oct 20. 1--WE took every
thing to the edge Of the horizon the
first day." said an officer standing on
the first line French trench whence y
wave Of men fifteen miles long rose or
the morning of September 25 and dash
ed on from one to five miles before the
tidal rush of soldiers was stopped.
The correspondent in his first view
Of the field of the great battle in the
Champagne looked across a rolling
laNd whose thin soil was studded with
graves and thickly sprinkled with
dwarf pines which stood out against
the almost snow white system of chalk
like redoubts trenches, traverses. com
munication bitches and other defensive
constructions by which German mill
tary science had in vain sought i'm
pregnability.
Walking over the course Of the
French advance, the correspondent
witnessed the results of the most pow.
erful defense against the most power.
full attack Of the war. The famous
hill, the butte of Tahure, the occupa.
ton of which clinched the French sue
cess resembled small wooded hill in
an eastern American state. Shells
were seen bursting at a distance over
the railroad at Somme-By. Thus this
important German transport line has
been cut or destroyed by French gun
fire. rendering the railroad useless.
Here and there, sometimes IN a shell
man dead had been buried. Close by
are newer cemeteries for the French,
the graves in both being marked by
wooden crosses bearing the names OF
the fallen. Thus are one-time enemies
now sleeping close to one another.
Considering the immensity of the op-
Grafton - at least 100000 men were
engaged on both sides along the mar
row front - it was amazing how ap-
parently small had been the number of
French casualties. Officers who had
participated in the charge said the Ger
man losses had been heavier than the
first official estimate and must have
reached 10000.
The barbed wire front of the first
line trenches had been cut to bits and
it was impossible to live or to make
resistance during the preparatory bonn
bardment. Soldiers agree that the
rushing of the first line was walk-in
there being neither rifle nor machine
gun fire to stop them, SO excellent had
been the work of the enormous concen-
tration of French artillery. Serious
resistance developed at the second
line. The advancing troops had to
pause at places and slowly cut their
way.
