Germany Disregards Protest Made By
Bryan and Case Goes To Ger
man Prize Court.
WASHINGTON, May 19.—The Ger
man government has sent the Frye
case to a prize court in spite of the
vigorous protest made by Secretary
of State W. J. Bryan, who insisted
that the matter be settled through
diplomatic channels and not in the
prize court. The announcement, com.
ing from Berlin, has caused much dis
satisfaction, as the sinking of the
Frye was in direct violation of in
ternational law and also of two treat
ies between the United States and
Prussia, and also in opposition to the
position assumed by Germany in the
correspondence regarding the block
ade by Great Britain during the ear
ly days of the war, when Germany
protested to the United States against
yBritish aggression.
What action, if any, Secretary Bry
an will take cannot be ascertained at
this time.

indicates the demoralization of the

make any gains since the fall' of

ROOSEVELT TRItL
NEAR ITS END
! All the Evidence In and Attorneys To
Talk Today—Case Will Go To
the Jury Tomorrow.
'
SYRACUSE, N. Y„ May 19.—All the
testimony is now in by the opposing
sides in the Barnes-Roosevelt libel
suit and the case is expected to go
to the jury tomorrow. Today the op
posing council will address the jurors
and urge a verdict for Barnes or for
Roosevelt, according to which side
they appear for.
The general opinion here is that
the jury will fall to agree or that
Barnes will secure slight damages.
The charges made by Roosevelt re
garding the. association between
Barnes and Murphy, the Tammany
boss, have not been proven, but
enough of the political history of the
Republican' party and Barnes has been
brought to light to convince the jury
that politicians do many things the
public know nothing of, and which
they would condemn if they did know.
The result of tho trial, however,
has besmeared the Roosevelt charac
ter badly and he no longer can pose
as a simon-pure leader, but must join
the class of political bosses.

NO CONSPIRACY
IN RIGCS CASE
Justice McCoy Fails To See Effort On
Part of Government Officials
To Wreck Bank.
WASHINGTON, May 19—Justice
McCoy, who has been hearing the
case of the Riggs National bank
against the Treasury officials, stated
today that he failed to see any evi
dence of conspiracy on the part of
the government officials to wreck the
bank. The charges may be dismissed
for lack of evidence to support them,
although the bankers are determined
to carry the case to the highest pos
sible court and failing there to ap
peal to public opinion to decide be
tween them and the Treasury offi
cials.
The court room was packed yester
day and the papers of the United
States had special correspondents to
take down all the evidence. The gov
ernment is represented by a big ar
ray of attorneys and the bank is al
so well represented.

ARE ON TRIAL
Government Insists That Association
Is Violating the Sherman Anti
Trust Law.
CHICAGO, May 19.—The suit to

ers, claiming that the big advertising
company is a monopoly in restraint
of trade, is being heard today be
fore Justice Landis, the man who
fined the tandard Oil Corporation
$23,000,000 for the same offense.
The government is confident of a
conviction, claiming that the bill post
ers have a monopoly of the business.
The association insists that they
have no monopoly, because fhe
ground is open for thousands and
thousands of more signs in each city
and throughout the railroads. They
insist that any competitor can find
plenty of room to locate signs and
thousands of business houses to buy
the space and that therefore the pres
ent association Is not operated in
violation of the laws governing trusts.
