trial here today ON the charge of com
plicity in the suitcase dynamiting here
during the preparedness parade last
July. which killed ten persons and
wounded fifty.
Weinburg is the third of the five per-
sons indicted in connection with the
case to go to trial. The first two trials
resulted in convictions. Thomas j.
Mooney is under sentence Of death,
and Warren K. Billings has been sen
fenced to life Imprisonment Mrs. Re-
ma Mooney, wife of the convicted man,
and Edward Nolan, former organized
of the machinists' union, have not yet
been tried.
The part Weinburg is alleged to
have played in the dynamite outrage is
the transportation of the alleged con-
spirators to Steuart and Market streets
where the fatal bomb exploded. II was
Weinburg's jutney bus, driven by Vein
burg, which the prosecution asserts
carried Mooney, Billings, Mrs. Mooney
and "a man with a scraggly mustache"
to that corner. ETeinburg and Mrs.
Mooney are alleged to have waited in
the pitney bus while Mooney, Bill
ings and the mysterious man planted

ADVANCE GUARD
OF the United States Army In Franco
Thousands Of Seasoned Regu.
lars and Marines Arrive
Safely In French
Territory.

Washington, June 27-The advance
guard of the mighty army the United
States is preparing to send against
Germany is on French soil tonight.
In defiance Of the German subma-
rines, thousands Of seasoned regulars
and marines, trained fighting men with
the tan of long service on the Mexican
border, or In Haiti or Santo Domingo,
still on their faces, have been hasten
ed overseas to fight beside the French
the British, the Belgians, the Rus
slams, the Portuguese and the Italian
troops on the western front.
News Of the safe arrival Of the
troops sent q new thrill through
Washington. No formal announcement
came from the war department. None
will come, probably, until Major Gen.
eral Pershings official report has been
received.
Then there may be statement as to
the numbers and composition of the
advance guard.
Slbert In Command
Press dispatches from France, pre-
sumably sent forward with the ap.
proval of General Pershing's staff
show that Major General Sibert, one
Of the new major generals Of the
army, has been given command Of the
first force sent abroad
One thing stands out sharply, de.
spite the fact that the size of the tasl
that has been accomplished is not full
ly revealed as yet. This is that Amer
ican enterprise has set new RECORD
for the transportation Of troops.
Considering the distance to be GOV
cred and the fact that all preparation
had to be made after the order cam,
from the White House, the night o
May IS, 1t Is practically certain tina
never before has military expedition
Of this size been assembled, conveyet
and landed without mishap in 80 shor

RAILROAD PROBLEM
DEPRESSES STOCKS
Issues in Downward Trend During
=. Session Of Market.
By BROADAN WALL.

New York. Dec. 11.-Stocks closed
heavy today, at the bottom prices
Of the day. with net losses in nearly
every active issue and with new
low records by the score. Railroads
led In this downward movement from
the opening of the market but be-
fore midday all classes Of stocks
had Joined in the downward trend.
The new records In tobacco shares,
in Pennsylvania, Atchison and Cam
adian Pacific; in New York Central,
Louisville and Nashville and Union
Pacific; in u. s. Steel, American
Telephone and Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit attracted most attention, . Rus
sian bonds went tumbling to new
low urices and the Anglo-French and
French municipals broke into new
low territory. In the midst of the
excitement the government crop bu-
reau announced that the cotton crop
Of this year would be only 10,9I9, 900
bales. This was q disappointment,
and the price Of cotton shot up $3.50
bale for the May option. There
was a reaction of about n.5O a bale
before the close.
Chief among the reasons given for
the weakness of the stock market
was the hopeless tangle at Wash
lngton In regard to the railroads.
Railroad men say the government
has taken the reins out of their
hands but has not replaced them with
ehective management. As things now
stand the railroads can neither bor-
row money to run their business, can
get no freight cars or locomotives
even II on order. and cannot get
action on the rolling stock they do
have.
Numerous conferences were held to-
day in Wall Street by railroad men
and the unanimous opinion was that
the administration should be urged
to DO something immediately-either
turn the roads back to be managed
by the old system or take them over
Immediately to be run by a small
committee Of competent experts.
