d After Attorney Brown had finished
his plea to the Jury at 2:4Ga p. m. and
several exceptions had been taken to
the plea by General Childs and cor
rected. Judge Weber began reading
his charge to the jury, which was to
acquit DR.. Koch of one of the most
heinOus of crimes or find him guilty of
murder in the first degree.
Judge Webber's charge rehearsed
the indictment and summed up in
compact sentences the testimony Of
both sides. The hammer, pencil and
handkerchief testimony, together with
that portion of the evidence regarding
the alibi, was especially called to the
attention of the jury. The Judge laid
stress on circumstantial evidence,
stating that If 1t were not possible to
find verdict OF guilty by the aid of
this class Of evidence crime would
flourish and instructed the Jurors that
Il they deemed the evidence sufficient
to satisfy their minds beyond q rea.
sonabie doubt. although it was ali cir
cumstantial, that the defendant was
guilty, they should bring in verdict
accordingly. The jurors attention was
also called to the fact that the alibi
formed for the defendant was that OF
relatives and should they have reason
70 doubt the veracity Of this alibi they
should give special weight to their
doubt, as few moments would change
circumstances entirely.

Federation of Labor Worried C0nceTn-
 ing Continual Influx.
 washington. Sept. 21--The Executive Council of the American Federation or Labor today continued the considers. ton of measures for regulating and restricting immigr ation which, in the opinion of the members, should be sug- Kested to the coming Pittsburg conven- ton of the federation for petition to Congress.
 The matters discussed were those of educational requirements. the head tax and the limitation. and persons upon whose prepaid tickets or advance money immigrants may come Into the United States. The latter class refers to assisted immigrants whose transpor- tatlon is furnished by families or friends in this Country. The members of the council declare that the term friend" opens the way for all kinds of schemes by which corporations and employers who desire to secure the cheapest kind of labor advance money for transportation, assuming for the time being the personality of a Friend. The matter win be further considered before definite action is taken. ,.,.
 The question of the best means for the arrest and prevention of tubercu- losis and the establishment of sani- tariums for open air treatment also was discussed. Assistance will be given the chainmakers. who are on strike, and an effort will be made to bring an honorable adjustment between the union and the employers. The sub- ,jeet of organizing the working people of the Philippine Islands was talked over and suggestions as to the best methods to be pursued will be invited from the members of the various trades unions.
