DROPS New SUPREME COURT | A WORD OF GAUTION | [ Takes lIssue With Methods of Inter- | state Commerce Commission. Washington,. Nov. caution was dropped today 11.—A word of by the | irupreme court of the United States to the { | interstate commerce commission against issuing orders based upon its own investigations rather than upon testimony of witnesses. he court, speaking through Justice { Holm: cited the commission’s state- | ment that this had been done when it issued an order requiring the Balti- more & Ohio, Southwestern Railroad Co., and the Norfolk & Western Rail- road Co. to grant physical connections in southern Ohio to the Cincinnati & Columbus Traction Co., an interurban electric road. The that the electric road was a “lateral branch line or railroad,” within the meaning of the law, but the court sus- tained the commerce court in holding that the clectric line appeared to have | been built without regard to the ex- | istence of the steam roads and was not ateral branch.” We remark that the commission stated in its report that it based its conclusion more largely upon their own tion than upon the testimony of witnesses,” said Justice Holmes. “It would be a very strong proposition to say that the parties would be bound |in the higher courts by a finding | bused on specific investigations made in the cases without notice to them. Such an investigation is quite different from a view by a jury taken with no- tice and subject to the order of a urt, and_different again from the juestion_of the right of the commis- sion to {ake notice of results reached Dy it in other cases when its doing so is made a part of the record and the facts thus noticed are specified 50 that maters of law are saved.” The court did not pass upon the question of the power of the commis- sion to require steam roads to grant connections with electric lines as such.

Victim May Be the Wife of Italian Who Has Disappeared. Georgetown, Conn., Nov. 11.—After three days of thorough investigation, spent largely in running down various theories, the authoritles were tonight still far away from the solution of the mystery surrounding the murder of the unidentified Italian woman whose body, covered with stiletio wounds, was found in a pond near here Saturday. But, one by one, various theories have been eliminated or partially so, until tonight it became evident that there are but two tangible theories remaining: that the woman was mur- gered in this town, and that she was probably the wife of local Italian who is now said to be missing. To seemingly port the latest | theory, an Italian, Niccoccina Arnesti- na, and his wife, who resided not far from the pond, have disappeared. The state police today examined _their house, and everyihing pointed to a hasty departure, probably during the night. Coroner John J. Phelan of Fairfield county today conducted an inquest, but | it brought out nothing new other than that stab wounds probably caused eath. The coroner, however, author- ized a statement to the effect that in his opinion there was no conneclion between this murder and the recent Stratford murder, supposed to have been committed by “white slavers” He further declared mo faith in_the theory that the body was brought here in a trunk from New York. While the state police have to all appearances abandoned the white slave and trunk theories, they are taking no chances and are carefully conducting their investigations with these theorfes in view. A woman whose name nas not been learned reported to the police today that about ten days ago she was passing near the house formerly occupied by the missing Itallan when she heard a woman's screams. She was under the impression that a wom- an was being beaten. The theory that the body of the wo- man was brought here in a trunk from New York a few days ago was ex- | ploded tonight when State Policeman Virelli traced the trunk to a local Ital- fan house. It was filled with grocer- fes. Medical Examiner Smith made his report public tonight, the features of it being that the woman had been in the water at least seven days. From the condition of the body, the medical examiner concluded that it was not cramped into a trunk. DOUBLE SURPRISE AT THE TRIAL OF ETTOR Witness Kanada Gives Both Prosecu- tion and Defense a Jolt. Salem, Mass, Nov. 11.—Two_sur- prises, one for the defense and one for the commonwealth, came in the Ettor-Giovannitti-Caruso murder trial today, when Thomas Harold Kanada, former employe of the Lawrence tex- tile mills, brought from Cleveland, O., by the prosecution, testified that he saw the defendant, Joseph Caruso, stab Policeman Oscar Benoit in -the back during the riot in which Anna Lopizzo was killed, and also that he saw Policeman Marshall of Lawrence at that time with a revolver in his hand. anada, a young man, who said he had kept his knowledge of the stab- bing secret so long because he did not want to testify unless compelled to, created considerable of a stir in the courtroom when he pointed to the prisoners’ cage and identified Caruso as the man he saw stick a knife in Benoit’s back. Rosa Caruso, wife of the defendant, bursting into tears, immediately left the courtroom. The surprise occasioned by Kanada's identification of Caruso was no great- er than that which followed when in response to a question from the dis- trict attorney, he declared he had seen Officer Marshall, immediately af- ter the stabbing and shooting at Un- | ion and Garden streets, with a revol- ver in his hand. The police who were at the scene of the riot have declared that they did not draw their revol- vers. ] When Kanada left the stand he was immediately subpoenaed by attorneys |for the defense and probably will be | called to testify further as to the ac- | tions of the police on that fatal night. Following Kanada’s testimony, Ca- Tuso himself took the stand in his own behalf and denied that he was near the scene of the riot. Caruso, testify |ing through an interpreter, gave a de- tailed account of his movements for the entire day on January 29, and de- clared that while he was in the Law- rence fail officers had tried to fasten other crimes upon him.

J., Nov. 11.—President- elect Wilson has his mind open on the question. of whether He shall call an extra session of congress to revise the tariff.

I refer not only to the mem- bers of congress, but to ail important democratic leaders.” No Requests for Extra Session: ident-elect was asked if he d many requests that an extra session be called. “No, I have not,” he replied, “but T can only answer for the telegrams. 1 have had none among the telegrams. My secretary has sifted out most of the letters and I know as yet only of their general nature, and I do not think they touch on a special ses- sion.” Bryan and the Cabinet. A newspaper despatch from Wash- ington was called to Governor Wilson's atlention declaring that close friends of Willam J. Bryan said he would decline a post in the cabinet. “Oh, but Mr. Bryan did not say that,” remarked the governor. ‘That was just a plece of dope.” State Buys His Boyhood Home.

WITHOUT A PARALLEL Colenel Regards Achievements of Bull Moose Party in Election as Wonder- ful—Not a One-Man Movement. New York, Nov. 11.—Theodore Roosevelt made a formal statement to- night bearing on the election and the futute of the progressive party. In line with previous expressions of als own and of his colleagues, he reiterates that “the progressive party has come to stay,” and “so far from being over, the battle has just begun.” He regards the party's showing in polling over four million votes in the face of numerous obstacles naturally in the path of a new movement as “Iiterally unparalleled in the history of free government.” The statement follows: Text of the Statement. “I congratulate the progressives of the ocountry—that is, I congratulate those good men and women who, with sincerity of purpose for the common good, have had the vision to look into the coming years and see what the fi- ture demands from us who work in this present. Good Showing Against Great Odds. “Whet the progressive party has done since the theft of the republican at Chicago last June is literally un- paralleled in the history of free gov- ernment, worked under representa- itive instifutions. Three months have gone by since some hundreds of earn- est men and women gathered to found the new progressive party. Without much money, without any organization, against the wealth of the country, against the entire organized political ability of the country, against the bit- ter hostility of 90 per cent. of the press of the country, against the furi- ous opposition of every upholder of special privileges, whether in politics or in business, and with the channels of information to the public largely choked, the progressive party has poll- ed between four and four and one-half million votes; hes hopelessly beatn one of the old parties both in the elec- toral colitge and popular vote; has +taken second place in the-nation, and either first or second place in some 37 of the 48 states. Fought Against Trained Veterans. “No task in any way approaching this has ever before been performed by any perty in our country. Such a feat, performed by volunteers hastily brought together and without any pre- vious co-operation with each other, against the tralned veterans of the political arena—these trained veterans including the entire mercenary forces not only to those who performed the task, but to all believers in good citi- zenship and in the capacity of Ameg- icans for self-government. Party Has Come to Stay. “During the campaign I said repeat- edly that this was in no shape or way & one-man movement, but a move- ment for great principles—a movement which has sprung, as all healthy move- ments in our democracy must spring, from the Meart and conscience of the people themselves. This truth must be kept steadily before tife minds of all of us. The progressive party has come to stay. If either of the old panties will endeavor to put into legislation any one of our planks, it can count upon our hearty support in so doing; but we will not rest contended until the entire platform is enacted into law and becomes part of our political system, national and state. Battle Has Just Begun. “I am proud, indeed, that the great good fortune has been mine to fight shoulder to shoulder with the men and women who, in the ranks and in vari- ous positions of leadership, have wag- ed this great battle for pocial and in- dustrial justice. So far from being over,” the battle has just begun. We will not rest content untl every feature of the progressive programme has been put into effect; and when this has been done _unquestionably there will have opened to us new avenues along which it will still be a duty to work for the moral and economic betterment of our people. i (Signed) “Theodore Roosevelt.

The Danger to European Peace. The revelation of the danger to Fii- ropean peace lying in the antagonistic interests of Austria and Servia appears to have quickened the sense of the powers, and probably of the Balkan| states also, to the imperative need of working in amicable co-operation to secure a settlement of the Balkans| problems acceptabie to all the parties concerned. Ariother factor making for the speedy cessation of the war is the approach of severe winter conditions, which would give to the campaign an exceedingly arduous character. .
