Judge Hunt did not 60 into a discus
sion Of BILLIARDS. case, merely stating
that the circumstances which operated
to give skinner and Elton immunity ap-
piled TO him also. A similar privilege
was denied to Robbins by Judge Hunt
sometime ago because, In the opinion Of
the Judge. the lawyers actions at the
time he testified before tho commission
at Washington did not Indicate that he
Intended TO plead for immunity.
Assistant United States Attorney
General Frank VI. Swacker then insisted
that Robbins. In asking for immunity
had admitted the very acts with which
lie was charged. Mr., Swacker said that
the court should hold Robbins techni-
OF immunity.
Judge Hunt said yesterday that there
was a disposition on the part or the
courts o ito abolish a too literal ad-
herence TO ancient rules OF ploiding,"
especially when such adherence was
likely to deprive a man charged with a
serious offence OF the right of a trial by
jury.
Robbins's plea. the Judge said, did not
necessarily include admission 81 guilt
and the court did not wish to declare
him guilty on a technically.
Under judge Hunts rulings since he
was appointed TO preside In the New
Haven case only thirteen Of the original
twenty-one New Haven defendants will

the three who were granted immunity,
five others will be given a separate coll
lectiye trial.

THE COPPER MARKET.
Contrary Movement in London
Puzzles the Trade.

There was a contrary movement In
copper prices in London yesterday MORN
ing which proved rather puzzling TO the
trade In this country. American pro-
ducers. agents and dealers in London
were unanimous in raising their price
to f97, the equivalent of 20& cents In
New York. At the same time electro
lytic copper on the London Metal En-
change dropped from Its previous days
level to f?6.
The demand for copper metal yester-
day was comparatively quiet SO far as
home sources were concerned. II was
said. however, that the export inquiry
showed an Improvement.
Lead sold more freely at 9 cents n
pound thar on the preceding day. The
volume Of business in thiC metal was
again very heavy.

BILLIARD FREE FOR
NEW HAVEN STORY
Gets Immunity for Testimony
in Inquiry-Third to
Escape Trial.
ROBBINS WINS FIGHT

John L. Billiard. head OF the Billiard
Company. which figured prominently In
the New Haven Railroads transactions
In Boston and Maine stock. was granted
immunity yesterday from prosecution on
the indictment charging him and twenty
others with c~onspir!ng to violate the
sherman law by building up a railroad
monopoly.
Judge william II. Hunt OF the United
States District Court. who ruled that
Billiard need not stand trial. in another
opinion yesterday refused to hold
Edward u. Robbins. former chief u
sci of the New Haven, guilty pro forma
because his plea OF immunity had been
dismissed. The Government attorneys
had insisted that Robbins had admitted
his W guilt In seeking to escape trial.
Billiard Is the third New I'VE de-
PENDANT to get immunity because OF the
testimony taken at Washington IN the
Interstate Commerce Commissions IN
vestigation In the New Haven case. The
Attorney-General at that time protested
against the calling OF old New Haven
directors by Solicitor Folk. fearing that
IL might give them immunity. The other
two defendants who will not face trial
are James s. Elton and william skinner.

'REDFIELD HAS MERRY VACATION
DURING ENQUIRY"

DORINO IN9UIRI
William G.. Redfield, secretary of
commerce, with headquarters in
Washington, is enjoying a vacation
in room 603 of the Federal building,
where an inquiry is being made
into the Eastland disaster.
AS he questions his subOrdinates
about the disaster that plunged hun
dreds to death in the Shiny river, his
eyes twinkle. At times a broad grin
spreads over his face and loses itself
in his forest of muttOnchOp whiskers.
The secretary is a regular feller,"
and enjoying himself except when
questioned by Rewspapermen.
That hundreds of people have lost
their lives; that Chicago demands
safety for her citizens who travel on
the lake; that his own department
seems to be at fault-none of these
things appear to impress the secre-
tary.
He is more interested in the fact
that Inspector Robert Reid, directly
accused by the coroner's jury which
investigated the disaster, had a SON
dn-law who was chief engineer of the
Eastland.
He is deeply interested in the man
ner in which Reid secured his son-in-
law. The secretary is a father to his
boys.
He is openly amused at the fact
that Asst States Atty Michael SuIi-
van, representing the state at the
federal inquiry" may want to hear
something from the inspectors.
He is "astonished" at the fact the
Eastland had no keel and that great
freighters on the lake are similarly
constructed.
Preliminary moves of the secre-
tary,, who arrived in Chicago with
advice to sOrTOwing relatives of the
Eastland dead to read Shakespeare
and the Bible and forget their grief,

give a clean bill of health to persons
responsible.
'The anxiety of Sec'y Redfeld to
whitewash the federal officials is one
of the best indications that these Off
Gals are responsible. Men who are
innocent welcome an investigation.
Citizens of Chicago protest en-
phatically and resent the tactics OF
those who arrived from Washington
carrying a bucket and a brush to
whitewash government officials who
publicly certified that the Eastland
was a safe boat.
cat the corOner's inquest l heard
the most amazing evidence of. Grim
inal negligence. Twelve hundred are
stretching their hands in mute appeal
that the great crime shall not go I'M
avenged.
ct is fortunate that the local, state
and federal officials are determined
to bring those responsible to justice.
The public is behind their prosecu-
lions and they should not be discour-
aged at the bold attempt of Sec'y
Redfeld to exOnerate some Of the fed
eraI officials responsible for the &C
cident." =
