The petition was prepared by J. M.

Judge Dickinson's report was submitted to the attorney. general and Is embodied in the petition filed today The petition charges the Steel Cor- poration and its subsidiaries with main- tainlng a monopoly of the steel busi ness.

Three women, seven children and two men were more or less seriously hurt today in a head- on collision in Golden Gate park, The children were patients at the Children's hospital, out for an air-j ing. Their machine, a limousine, remained upright, but the windows were smashed and the children cut by falling glass. The other car turned turtle, throwing the five occupants to the ground. Edward Chase, one of the occupants, was pinioned across the chest. The life-saving crew at the park station finally rescued him I after tearing the machine nearly apart.

TAKE A HAND Federal Court Starts an In vestigation of the Dyna miting of the Los An geles Times Newspaper Plant. MAY AFFECT THE McNAMARA TRIAL INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 26. That the federal government has en tered upon an investigation through 1 called McNamara dynamiting cases. became known here today.

A subpoena was served on Frank P. Baker, prosecutor for the county to appear before the local grand jury November 7, and bring with him all tho evidence in the form of books, docu- ments, dynamite and exploding ap tho finding of the dynamite. LOS ANGELES, Oct. 26. Reports from Indianapolis that the federal grand jury will Investigate the so-called McNamara dynamiting case was made the focus here for consideration by counsel for the defense in the trial of James B.

and John J. McNamara.i and also attracted the attention of officials of the district attorney's office. Clarence S. Darrow, chief counsel for the defense, telegraphed Indianapolis for more information. It Is conceded that the whole aspect of the case may be altered by the prospective action of the federal authorities.

Though it may not make any immediate difference in the trial of James now going on, the case of John J. may enter upon an entirely altered legal status. The prosecution admitted the proposed action might make it easier for them to secure pa pers, books and other records which are now held in Indianapolis and the court there refused to give up 1 This evidence is much desired by the prosecution, and lack of It, is said to-be one of the reasons why James B. was placed on trial first, The trial now in session may last well into next summer, during which time John J. will remain in jail, except at such times as he is called as a witness on behalf of his brother.

'Should an indictment result from the investigation in Indianapolis, however. there is a legal possibility that he may be taken back there. But such a question would again raise the matter of the McNamara's extradition from Indiana to California. District Attorney Fredericks today stated that he has known for some time the matter was likely to be taken up In Indiana. Today's session of court lasted 35 minutes.

One talesman was examined and excused, and court adjourned until tomorrow pending the summoning of an extra venire of 40 names. Besides Prosecutor Baker, subpoenas were issued for the appearance of Superintendent of Police Martin Hy-land. Captain of Detectives "William Holtz, C. E. Freeman and J.

C. Tal-bott. The latter two are expert accountants engaged in going over the books of the Iron "Workers' association under the direction of the pros ecution. The action on the part of the government follows a ruling by Judge Joseph Markey of the criminal court, denying the petition of State's Attorney Fredericks of Los Angeles, for the removal to Los Angeles of evidence collected here for use in the trial of James B. McNamara, now proceeding.

Judge Markey decided no method was apparent by which such evidence could be brought back to this county If needed in the trial of John J. McNamara on an indictment returned here against him for alleged conspiracy to dynamite. Attorneys and others speculated whether, when the federal jury took charge of the evidence a petition for its possession by the Los Angeles authorities would lie In the federal court It Is said that tho federal grand jury inquiry willbe to ascertain if the statute against conspiracy to transport from one state to another dynamite for unlawful purposes, has been violated. 1 'DID THEY WAKE LITTLE NEMO FROM HIS REBELS WIN EVERY POINT The Throne, in a Most Un dignified Manner, Has Conceded Every Demand And Absolutism Comes to an End. PEKING, Oct 26.

The throne to day surrendered to Tsu Cheng Tiaun, of the China national assembly and in compliance with the assembly's demands dismissed Sheng Hsuan Huai. minister of posts and communications; ordered Prince Ching, president of the cabinet, before the board of inquiry, where he doubtless will be severely dealt with; released from custody the president of the Sze Chuan provincial assembly, and other leaders of the riots at Chang Tu; and, in fact, agreed to all that the assembly asked with a lack of dignity inconceivable to western observers. A year ago the throne, defiant of the people, issued edicts embodying drastic measures, but now a resolution of the newly convened assembly, carrying consequences of an irremediable character, have been granted without a day's consideration. The edict repeats over the throne's seal the allegations and charges made against the minister of posts, and communications and others made by a heated and radical controlled assembly; but Chinese affairs cannot be judged by western standards. The appointment of Yangshao Yi to succeed Sheng Hsuan Huai is believed to forecast the appointment of Yuan Shi Kai to the second office in the cabinet, if not to the premiership.

It is reported that Yuan is already negotiating with the rebels. Members of legations, who are old In Chinese affairs, will not lie surprised if the revolution is terminated virtually without further fighting, through the government's granting complete immediate constitutional government. THEY TAKE RAP AT CHRISTIAN SCIENCE WASHINGTON, Oct. 26. A vigor ous attack on Christian Science was made at the annual conference of the Unitarian churches hero today.

Rev. George Dodson of St Louis, characterized it as a "menace to the country and to national life," and as a "fanaticism." Rev. Howard N. Brown, of Boston, said that Christian Science is simply an "offshoot of religion," and that "Christianity Is on trial for its life as never before. HE'LL MEET TAFT.

Chicago he will meet President Taft in what is supposed to be an effort to secure letters pledging his friendship1 for the Madero government.

WELL, DID THEY? LAST GRAND JURY Feeling Remarks of Judge Kent In Discharging It. In discharging the grand jury yesterday Judge Edward Kent called attention to the rapidly changing status of affairs in Arizona in connection with the courts, as in other things, and also grew a little reminscent He announced that the gentlemen had just finished serving on the last grand jury, that will ever be held in this county probably. There will be no other until after the state government has been instituted, and then there will be none so long as Arizona continues under the provisions of the present constitution, which has eliminated tho grand Jury system. In his remarks the court offered ho regrets, for he said the new system of prosecuting criminals on the filing of information with the county attorney, had many advantages. For one thing tile accused does not have to wait so long, usually, before his case is given consideration by the courts, a fact that in the event of his innocence or trivial error, is a condition greatly to be de sired.

There are numerous other reas ons that might be enumerated in discussion of the new system. Speaking of his ten years service on the bench in Arizona, Judge Kent said that during that time he has impaneled fifty-nine grand juries, the one he was addressing being the latest one, and perhaps the last one he might ever be called upon to adddess. He thanked the gentlemen for their service and hoped that all of them, as well as all the citizens of the new state, might prosper under a newer and better order of things. SENTENCE TOO LIGHT.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26. At the conclusion of today's arguments in the Pacific coast cases the commerce court declined to grant a temporary injunction in the Salt Lake case at the re quest of the transcontinental carriers. The interstate commerce commission had issued an order requiring the transcontinental railroads to adjust their rates from Utah to Nevada points so as to avoid discrimination in favor of coast terminals to become effectve November 15. These decisions by the commission, involving the construction of the long and short haul provision of the Interstate commerce act, were reserved for decision; but the Salt Lake case in which the railways nsked for an injunction restraining the commission from putting the order into effect, was decided by the court adversely to the railroads.

LAST GAME WAS FARCE Athletics Win From the Redoubtable Giants by the Lop-sided Score of a Baker's Dozen to a Single Pair. ALL THE PITCHERS EASY FOR QUAKERS Hits and Runs Piled Up at Such a Rapid Rate That it is a Wonder the Scorers Could Keep Tab on Them. PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 26.

In an exhibition of batting seldom seen In a premier baseball series the American league team, Philadelphia, de feated the National leaguers. New York today In the sixth game of the series for the world's championship by the overwhelming score of 13 to 2. thus giving them four, the necessary wins to carry off baseball's greatest honors. With the victory came sixty per cent of $127,910.61, or J76.746.37 of which each Athletic player will receive $3,625.59. The losers receive $51,164.24, or $2,436.29 for each player.

Coming from behind after New lYork had scored one run In the first inning the Athletics tied the score in the third and won the game In the fourth, making four runs. They made it a little safer in the sixth inning with another run and crushed the Giants in the seventh under an avalanche of seven more, made off with seven hits and a couple of errors. The sensational batting of the Athletics fairly outshone all other features. All pitchers New York sent in looked alike to the Athletic sluggers. The crowd was aroused to the greatest enthusiasm.

With victory wlthln their grasp the Athletics appeared to let down and the fans started to leave the grounds after the seventh. The National leaguers sent In three pitchers in the effort to stem the tide of base hits. Ames, Wiltse and Marquard took up the burden in the order named. Of these Wiltse fared worst. Thirteen hits for a total of seventeen bases were scored off the 'trio.

Every member of the Athletics got at least a safety except Collins and Bender. The former, however, made a timely sacrifice that scored a run. When the game began Catcher Thomas, of Philadelphia, the only member of his team who had not made a hit during the five previous games, got into the hit column himself in the seventh, and even tho Athletic players cheered. Murray, of New York, was the only one of the regulars who failed to get a hit during the series. "Chief Bender, the Indian twirler pitched the Athletics to final victory.

His work in the box surpassed the exhibition given in his first game of the series at New York. He allowed but three singles and one double. The two-bagger was made by Doyle In the first inning. Doyle scored later when Murphy muffed an easy fly. From this on the Indian was never troubled.

It was the third game Bender pitched and the second victory in three days. A total of eight errors was made by both teams during today's play. Despite this, the game was brilliantly played. Today's crowd was the smallest of the series. It was very noisy, however, and pandemonium reigned when tho Athletics forged ahead.

After the game was "cinched" the fans cheered derision every time an Athletic player was thrown out at first After the game the fans paraded the diamond cheering lustily for the players and Manager Mack.
