Not Fit for Selling.
BOY PUPIL IS SUBPEWAED
Aged Father "Will Testify ITanish
Was Born Not In Persia, lint In
Germany, and Began Work
ing Life as Printer.
CHICAGO, Not. 18. Ottoman Zar
Adusht Hanlsh, leader of the Mazdazan
aun cult, will be placed on trial tomor
row before Federai Judge Mack. He
la charged with shipping by express
copies of "Inner Studies," a. book o
his teaching. The Government alleges
the "studies" are not fit to be sold.
Thirty-five witnesses are under sub
pena by the Government. "Billy" Lind
say, whose cult name was "Gayne,"
when the boy was In control of Han
ish, probably will be brought from
Philadelphia to testify. His mother,
Mrs. Elizabeth Lindsay, who was the
"Vahdan" of the cult, also will In all
probability be produced as a Govern
ment witness.
Boy's Mother Returns.
Wealthy relatives of the boy's father,
who Is dead, fought for possession of
"Billy" when he was living with his
mother at the Mazdazan temple. He
was spirited away to Canada. Mrs.
Undsay 'has since returned to Phila
delphia. Richard E. Hanlsh, aged father of
the "prophet," will testify for'the pros
ecution. According to the cult leader, he was
born In Persia and Is now 72 years old.
He told his followers his parents died
when he was a boy and he was brought
up In a monastery. He said he grew up
"divinely incarnated" and became a
"messiah."
Aged Father to Testify.
The father will testify, according to
the Government, that Hanlah was born
at Cattowltz, Germany, in 1866. In
1881 the Hanishes emigrated to Roch
ester, N. T., where the father became
attached to a theological seminary and
Ottoman was apprenticed to a printer.
In 1887 Ottoman went to Salt Lake
City, where he worked as a printer on
a. newspaper, and four years later the
family joined him.
Two sisters of Hanlsh, MrsT Emily
Werb and Mrs. Fannie Jefferson, both
of Salt Lake City, have been subpenaed
by the Government. Other witnesses
for the Government will be boys who
have studied the rites of the cult. Sev
eral former followers of Hanlsh have
promised to tell of the Inner workings
of the cult.

Mr. Murdock said tonight that his
tllls, which he called the "Progressive
trust triplets." would solve the whole
trust problem, would wipe out monop
ly and create a trade commission that
would relieve the courts of administra
tive functions in business regulation
and bring quick, adequate relief to the
email business man.
The proposed commission would have
even members, serving seven-year
terms at $10,000 a year each. The com
mission's Jurisdiction would be 11m
lted to corporations and business com
binatlons having more than $3,000,000
proas annual recelptafrom business in
the United States. It would have pie'
nary power to gei complete informa
tton, to criticise and make public over
capitalization, unfair competition, mis
representation or oppressive use of
credit and to assist the courts In en
forcing decrees of dissolution.
Interlocking directorates, oppressive
exclusive contracts, localized price cut
ting, procuring favors from common
carriers arm procuring dishonest con
duct from employes of competitors are
among trade practices the second bill
would put under the ban.
"Intolerable Conditions" Met.
The third bill would empower the
trade commission to investigate com
plaints of any business organization
exercising a substantially monopolis
tio power" and is designed to deal with
acts not In themselves wrongful, bu
resulting in intolerable conditions. It
would make "contrary to publio pol
Icy" a corporation's control over a suf
flcient portion of an Industry to control
prices of raw materials or finished or
partly finished products. The com
mission would be empowered to re
etraln the unlawful acts or to work ou
a reorganization plan if the acts only
'tended to monopoly."
In an effort to hurry the currency
bill along to the Senate the nve Repub
11 can s on the committee and Senator
Hitchcock had a meeting tonight and
continued work on their draft of th
bill, making minor changes and cor
recting phraseology. The Republicans
hope to conclude their first draft by
Tuesday and the bill will be taken up
In a meeting of the full committee
called for that day. Republicans and
Democrats will report unanimously on
those features of the bill on which they
can agree and will report a disagree

The faHure to secure a quorum In

HALF. BRAVES MXTD AND RAIN
Envoy of President "Wilson Confers
- With Constitutionalist.
NOG ALES, Sonora, Mexico, Nov. 18.-
Braving a Winter rain storm, which
turned the surrounding dessert into
vast mess of mud, seamed with racing
freshets, William Bayard Hale crossed
into Mexico again today to present
another communication to the Mexican
revolutionists from his chief. President
Wilson. Hale did not meet General
Carranza, the Constitutionalist chief,
but exchanged views with Francisco
Escudero, Carranza's minister of exte
rior and communications.
The storm was the worst of the
current wet season, and the only ones
out beside Hale were the poncho-clad
soldiers of the United States border
patrol on the American side and on
the Mexican side the sentries of th
revolutionary army, their brown faces
peeping out of brilliantly colored
blankets that hid their drab uniforms,
Hale met Minister Escudero at th
home of Ygnacio Bonlllas, also a cab
inet minister, who acted as official in
terpreter and' translator at the two re
cent conferences between the Amer
lean envoy .and General Carranza.
Hale and Carranza have not conferred
since Friday.
It was understood that the meeting
today was the result of a -message from
President Wilson, which conveyed some
assurance to the Constitutionalists.
Hale has been la close touch, with

EL PASO. Tex., Nov. 16. United
States Senator Catron, of New Mexico,
today called on General Francisco "Vil
la at Juarez and cautioned him -against
the wholesale execution of the federal
prisoners of war. which has been con
ducted by Villa at Juarez since the
urrender of the town.
I told General Villa that our Gov
ernment had acted favorably to the
rebel government and that It was my
pinion that the executions would make
bad impression on the United btates
Government and probably retard any
action toward recognition of the rebel
government by the United States," said
Senator Catron, after his conference
with Villa. "He did not say that he
would desisJU He did say that it was
necessary that It be done and that it
was his duty to his country and orders
from superior officers.
Villa asked me if the United States
Intended to intervene in Mexice and I
told him it was contrary to our policy
and we would not if we could prevent
it. He said that it would cost the
United States a great deal of money,
but I told him that would not prevent
the United States from intervening In
Mexico if it was found necessary.
"My visit to Villa was totally unof
ficial and I went, to see him merely
through curiosity" and my talk with
him does not compromise me or my
Government in any way, as I went as a
private citizen. I wished to see Villa
personally, because soon I will return
to Washington and, of course, will be
questioned about the Mexican situation."

EL PASO, Tex., Nov. 16. Two ex-
federal officials, of Juarez, who were
taken prisoners by General Francisc-j
Villa's rebel troops were executed at

an official in the Juarez police depart
ment, and Juan Cordova, chief of the
Juarez secret police.
The executions took place at the
Juarez cemetery, the condemned men
standing on the brinks of newly-dug
graves and falling in when the firing
sauad shot them. Both men were sen
tenced to death by General Villa and
the orders were carried out by subordl
nates.
Senora Ebave, wife of one of the
condemned men, was present when the
sentence was pronounced and pleaded
with Villa to pardon her husband, but
he refused.
A squad of 14 federal prisoners wad
taken to the cemetery to bury 89 of
the soldiers who were killed In the
Juarez battle. One of the prisoners,
fearing that he was to be executed

guards.

troops, federal regular and volunteer
army officers will be killed. The sol
diers of the regular army will be pardoned.
