S. Snow. after he had warned them of the consequences, and advised them that Corporal Charles w. Baltimore. negro soldier, who had been killed by Houston police officers, Major Snow testified this afternoon. Earlier re- ports, Major Snow said, were that Bal timore had been killed and the negro soldiers were incensed.
 Major Snow was in command of the third battalion of the infantry. num- bers of which participated in the shoot ing up of Houston. He was the only material witness at the first day of the military trial

 Major Snow testified that a report reached camp about o'clock on the afternoon preceding the shooting that Corporal Baltimore had been shot and killed by Houston policeman. Later. the witness said, he went to Houston police headquarters, where the chief of police told him that Baltimore had not been shot, but had been arrested and roughly handled by a policeman named Sparks, that Sparks had been | suspended and would be further pun ished. Baltimore's arrest is said to have followed his asking Sparks why he had arrested a negro woman.

 BERLIN, Nov. 1.-According to the announcement of the German war of flee today all the Tagliamento bridge heads have been captured. Several hundred guns are said to have been taken by the Germans.
 The statement follows:
 'The fact that our operations against Italy have been so successful may be attributed to our rapid blows ill the east and to the endurance of our troops on all fronts, notably in the west. Yesterday the allied troops of the four teenth army gained a further victory. Portions of the enemy army made a stand at the Tagliamento. In the mountains and in the Friuli plain, to the Udine- -Codroipo- -Treviso railway, the enemy retired to the western bank of the river. Bridgehead positions on the eastern bank were held by him near Pinzano, Dignano and Codroipo. He offered violent resistance at rear guard positions projecting thence toward Udine via Bertilo, Pozzuolo and Lava riano, to cover the retirement Of his third army to the western bank of the TagliamentO.
 "The bridgehead positions of Dig nano and Codroipo were taken by storm. The Brandenburg and Silisian divisions penetrated the rear guard po- sitions of the Italians east of the lower Tagliamento and drove back the enemy. while the Austrian corps pressed for ward from the IsonZo against the last of the crossings held by the enemy | near Latisana.
 Gut off by our thrust from the north and outflanked on both sides, more than 60,000 Italians laid down their arms. Several hundred guns felt | into the hands of the victors. The number of prisoners captured during the week of the twelfth lsonzo battle is consequently increased to more than | 1S0,000 and the total of guns taken IS increased to more than l, 300. The other booty captured is proportionate.'

Coal Restrictions

WASHINGTON, Nov 1.-Resolu tions designed to restrict the use Of coal in industries considered non essential to the conduct of the Wa will be put into force soon by the fuel administration The plan under consideration provides for a classifi- cation of industries in the order ot their importance and the issuance or a general order to coal producers directing them to supply first manu- featuring plants engaged in war work.
 Domestic consumers will be sup piled ahead of all industries and the regulations will contain special pro visions for taking care of their re- quirements.
 An upward revision of coal prices for mines which contain unusually thin veins and for mines in the hands of receivers to permit them to op- crate at a profit is probable within q few days Heretofore price changes have been general and have not been applied except to entire districts.
 Directors of the National Gas and Electric association protested to Fuel Administrator Garfield against pro- posed order limiting the use of cos, for electric display signs.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-Measures to prevent vicious" short selling in the stock market, attributed in some quar- ters to German interests as part of an organized propaganda to create pes simism, were taken today by the board of governors of the stock exchange.
 The action comes as the culmination of a protracted decline in market quo tations, recently of extreme violence for which short selling, whether actu- ally from German sources or from un scrupulous traders taking advantage of conditions. has been held in a large measure responsible.
 Today with So-called bear drives of this nature in evidence, stocks tumbled three to ten points and at the close of the market the board of governors announced that a resolution had been adopted requiring all members of the exchange to furnish at noon every day for the inspection of the committee on business conduct complete details re-
