TAXICAB AIDS IN CHASE Suspects In Diamond Robbery Are Trailed to Hotel, TVhere They Pat Cp Fierce Battle) Until Guns Are , Empty. NEW YORK, Nov. 18. A man and a woman stood in a small room of a Raines Law hotel in the Bronx tonight and deliberately shot down three de tectlvea and two other men who were trying to place the pair under arrest. After nearly emptying the 11 cham bers of a large automatic revolver, re inforced by shots from an ordinary revolver In the hands of his woman companion and probably fatally wounding four of those whom he shot down, the man shot and killed the woman and then put a bullet through bis own head, dying instantly. Stories of Affray Conflict, This Is the outline of one of the most serious shooting affrays the de tectlves of this city have run into so far as these conflicting stories of the shooting had been sifted tonight. The dead man Is known by several names, having registered at the hotel as Joseph Vogel. The police declare he Is a Pole named Pheres Doragyeskl The woman had registered as Lottie Vogel. Vogel was 48 years old and the woman about 25. The detectives were on the trail of the pair, suspecting them of having been accomplices in a diamond robbery for which Sophie Beckendorf, a do mestlc, had been held for the grand jury today. The woman who had lost the jewels traced the girl to Vogel's In o use and told the detectives of her discovery. Cfaaae T Taxi cab Oecirt, After a taxlcab chase today the de tectives learned that the Vogels had sought lodging at the Elsmere Hotel, I at Cortland avenue and One Hundred I and Sixty-first street in the Bronx. Central Office Detective Fay and Pri- vate Detective John Allen and Louis Gerade went to the hotel in search of ineir quarry laie tonignt. i Louis Mondscheln, the proprietor. told oi the couple having arrived in a taxicab early in the evening, and or dered William Butler, a waiter, to show the detectives to the Vogels" room. Vogel opened the door in re sponse to a summons( and as Allen forced his way in, declaring that the couple were under arrest, Vogel struck the detective over the head with a black Jack and then grasped a maga zine revolver which lay on the bed. His first bullet struck Allen in the head and he fell, probably fatally hurt. Woman Fire Shots Also. Detectives Fay and Gerade rushed Into the room, followed by Proprietor Mondscheln and Butler. It Is declared they did not fire a shot, but expected to seize Alien s assassin. They were not quick enough. Vogel let go one shot after another, nearly every one taking effect. Fay and Mondscheln both received probably fatal wounds In the abdomen. Gerade was shot In the leg and back and Butler received a bad wound in the hip. The woman, also armed, had fired several shots, some of which It is be lieved hit the detectives. Evidently crazed at his gun work, Vogel turned his gun upon- his young woman com panion. She was shot through the made quick work of himself by put- ting the last bullet from his gun into his head and fell dead. At the hos pital to which all of the wounded were removed it was said that probably all ,ii,nt TtnMpr -aL-nulH Aim Jewelry t MImIdr. At a late hour two trunks and two suitcases which the couple had taken I to. the hotel were removed to a police station, but the stolen Jewelry was not found. The police say that In tracing the Vogel pair the detectives probably were running down a completely or- gantzed scheme for robbing residences throughout the upper West Side. The incident upon which the Beckendorf girl was held, charged her with numer ous robberies of Jewels, amounting to several thousand dollars. According to the police, the girl broke down tonight and confessed that the Vogels were with her and It was to them she had given the stolen articles. The plan of operation was for the girl to advertise for a position as domestic and as soon as she obtained it to rob her. employer's house. Game With Girls' Eleven Stopped. CHICAGO. Nov. 19.

ServiansTakeMonastir Scutari Falls SULTAN'S HOPES SHATTERED Three Generals, 50,000 Men and 47 Guns Captured. CONSTANTINOPLE IS SILENT Lack, of Xews From Capital Tends to Belief That Bulgarians Have Off set Early Reverses Thrace Sow Lost to Turkey. LONDON, Nov. 19. Any Idea the Turkish government had of benefiting by continued resistance must be shat tered by news of the fall of Monastlr. In the capture . of . that important town, the Servians took three pashas, including the commander-in-chief, Zokki Pasha, 60,000 men and 47 guns, thus achieving the greatest individual success of the war.. Monastlr was the second city of im portance in European Turkey. It was Turkey's stronghold in Macedonia and by its downfall Macedonia passes com pletely out of Turkish hands. What part the Greeks played in the capture has not been ascertained. It Is known that the Greek army was marching to the assistance of the Servians and it is supposed the Greeks were able to cut off the Turkish re treat to the south. The Servians naturally will be elated at this victory, which outshines the capture of Saloniki and must have a great moral effect on the future course of the war. Serbs Take cut art. A private telegram received at Bel grade today reports that Scutari has surrendered, according: to a dispatch to the Dally Telegraph. Servian headquarters report that the Turks attempted a sortie from Adrian, ople yesterday on the side of the Serv ian division, but were repulsed with great losses. Another of tha strange silences that have been characteristic of this war appears to have fallen over Constanti nople, from which only brief dispatches have been received, telling of the re sumption of the Tchatalja battle and that the Sultan has made a fresh per sonal appeal to the European sover eigns to intervene for the termination of the war. Quite as little may be expected to come of this appeal as of the previous attempt at mediation by the powers. Turkey Expected to Yield.

SPEAKING OF THE LAND PRODUCTS & Monopoly on Unpatent ed Products Illegal. FEDERAL DECISION EPOCHAL Death-Blow Struck at Viola tions of Sherman Law. CONTROVERSY LONG WAGED Court Strikes Down as Wrong So Called "License Agreements," by Which Manufacturers Were Bound in Combination. WASHINGTON, Nov. 18. In an epoch-making decision today in the so- called "bathtub case" the Supreme vCourt of the United States laid down the broad principle' that there can be no monopoly in the unpatented prod uct of a patented machine without vio lating" the Sherman anti-trust law. Justice McKenna delivered the unani mous opinion of the court. In accordance with this decision the court struck down as illegal the "li cense agreements" by which manufac turers of 85 per cent of the sanitary enameled Ironware in the United States were bound together In combination. Agreement' Term Explained. The license agreement allowed the manufacturers to use a patented dredger but only on condition that they abide by an attached price list, would not sell to Jobbers who bought from independents, would not sell i certain territory and would not sell seconds." Officials of the Department of Jus tice were elated over the decision, which, it is said, will have an import ant bearing on several investigations now under way as well as on anti trust suits already filed against the so-called "movlng-plcture trust," and the United Shoe Machinery Company. . Ruling Deemed Important. The decision is regarded as import ant because of the Governments as sertlon that the "patent license agree ment" plan was being adopted by many concerns as a result of the iudlclal ban upon the "pure trust' plan, as exemplified In the case of the Standard Oil Company of Ohio: the "holding company" plan as declared Invalid In the Northern Securities case and the combination of a holding com pany and a manufacturing company as shown in the Standard Oil and tobacco cases. Justice McKenna, in his opinion, said that the effect of the agreements was to convert independent and competitive Concluded on Page 2.) SHOW. LET TSLC YOU. oua r-cruST US CifiL OVOEZ. Legislature to Be Asked to Remove $100 Penalty on Animals, Which Destroy Irrigation Systems. Beavers, state protected pests, so un grateful under the protective law as to become destroyers of irrigation sys tems and crops In the Tygh Valley of Oregon, may loose soon their reign of undisputed sway. When the next State Legislature meets, one of the first bills to come before the body will be one to abolish the law protecting the amphibious animals. When this law Is .passed, a campaign which will extend from one border of Wasco County to another and then throughout the state wherever the beaver has made Its destructive Inroads will be undertaken, the purpose of which Is to rid the state of the pest and its ravages. , Tygh Valley, one of the first districts in Oregon to be put under the charm of modern Irrigation, is Infested with the animals, with the result that the irrigation ditches have been diverted from their course in a night, others made absolutely useless, young and tender trees sawed off or peeled and eventually killed and other crops ruth lessly ravaged, while the destroyers impudently continued their havoc un der the protection of the law. There Is a 1100 first offense penalty for killing a beaver In Oregon. The State Game Warden has been appealed to and A. A. Bonney, large landowner In the Tygh Valley, Is In Portland now making arrangements to have the new bill brought up. Mr. Bonner, at tha Perkins, last night said: "Unless we are permitted to legally rid our section of beavers, all that we have done and expect to do will be wasted time, money and labor. Following the beavers came the musk rats, which do equally as much damage and these are also new to the district. If the beavers were taken out of the way the rouskrats could be extermin ated easily. If the Legislature will pass a law this Winter to permit the killing of beavers in the state our district will provide several thousand pelts and the land again will be redeemed."
