ABANDON BALKANS
Italy is Said 10 Have Abandoned All
Plans to Participate In the
Balkan Campaign-NIOnte-

Italian forces in Albania will be

the Austrian armies III the north
and the Bulgarian armies in the
south if they escape from Albania.
Italy is said to have abandoned ell
plans for participating in the Balkan
campaign. General Koevess is try
ing to make an Austrian campaign
in Albania unnecessary by cutting
off Montenegrin retreat and cap
turing King Nicholass entire army.
The Austrian government has learn
ed from Albanian sources that ltal-
ian patrols sent northward from
Aylona are being withdrawn.
The Serbs operating at Elbessan
are again retreating before the Bui-
garians and are expected to reach
the Adriatic in fortnight.
One Austrian force is approaching

officials retreated after the capture
of the capital. Another force as ad-
vancing eastward across southern
Montenegro toward Roigoritza and
are moving up to close the ring
that is now almost completely drawn
about the Montenegrins

MIA is said to have been arrived at
after long conferences between KiEg
Victor Emmanuel and his military
chiefs. The king is said 10 have
favored landing ,crg, army on the
Albanian coast in an attempt to drive
the Austrians out of Montenegro.
The generals advised against the
scattering of Italian troops and fav-
ored concentrating the forces against
the Austrian frontier They argued
that the Italian armies. ii ,ic.
would loose Austria's hold on Mon

them, of whom three made successful
pleas of immunity, six obtained a
separate trial, and one, George NJ Mil
Ter, WIS not brought to trial on ac-
count of his age. The alleged con-
spiracy dated back to July 2, 1890, the
date of the enactment of the Sherman
law, since which the New Haven
brought under its control every rail-
road in New England, except those
owned by the Grand Trunk, many
steamship lines and some sixty trolley
lines. In this way it was alleged it
stamped out competition and was on
the point, the government charges of
suppressing the competition of the
Grand Trunk through traffic agree.
ment when the government in Noyca-
Der, 1912, stepped in and indicted
President Mellen and two Grand
Trunk executives. The case against
them was subsequently dropped, but
it is largely On this agreement, the
principal alleged illegal act within the
period covered by the statute of lirL;-
tations, that the prosecution in this
case based its expectation of a con-
viction.
Proceedings Remarkable.
The trial has been remarkable In
many respects. 1t has been marked
by the wealth and prominence of the
defendants and for the fact that for
the first time have the directors OF a
railroad been brought to trial under
the criminal clause of the Sherman
law. The defendants have been rep
resented by nearly a score of noted
lawyers, against whom the govern
ment marshaled four, headed by r
l.. Bats, former law partner in Texas
of Attorney General Gregory. 1t has
been estimated that in counsel fees
and expenses of investigation, stem
ographers fees, etc, the cost of the
trial has reached well over half a
million dollars. One witness was
brought from the Pacific coast and an
other from Brazil at the governments
expense.
While not record in length. the
trial was remarkable by the fact that
one witness, Charles s. Mellen. former
president Of the New Haven, was on
the stand for So court days and thar
