LITTLE WORK IN SENATE
Nothing of Importance Expected Be-
fore Christmas Holidays

BY Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE senate
will meet the wishes of the house for
an adjournment for the Christmas holi-
days on Thursday next Meantime
the senate will probably content itself
with comparatively little work unless
there should be difficulty in agreeing
with the house on the terms of the
Panama canal emergency appropria-
tion bill. That measure will go to a
conference committee early in the week
and there will be united effort to reach
a conclusion before the holiday adj
journment. The action of the senate
in attempting to eliminate the bond
provision and make a separate law of
it will probably be the principal bone
of contention in the conference COM
mittee.
The reorganization of the senate
committee will be announced Monday
or Tuesday. Senator Gallinger will
make an effort during the week to
have the merchant marine bill made
the unfinished business, not with a
view of securing serious consideration
of 1t before Christmas, but with the
end in view of having 1t in position to
be pressed when congress reconvenes.

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 1Z-A shud-

Already the leaders of the proletariat

critics are reactionary officials of tho

take of such power to terrorize the

INSANE MURDERER
RAVES OF CRIME
THINKS HE STRUGGLES WITH
ASSASSINS
Man Who Killed Wilson Becomes Mad
From Effects Of Liquor and Brood
lng-Threatens Violence
to Himself

Raving madly I'm his cell at the city
Jail, George w. Kennedy who shot and
killed A. L. Wilson in Main street
saloon Friday morning, was found vio-
lently insane yesterday.
With his mind filled with scenes Of
murders, suicides and horrible reptiles
attacking him, the murderer threatens
violence TO himself and all that ap-
proaches him.
AS the day progressed Kennedy be-
came more violent and last evening his
condition was such that the Jail author
tiles found 1t necessary to remove him
from the upper tanks" to the receiv-
ing hospital. Despite the efforts of the
police surgeons the mans condition be-
came such that they were forced to tie
him hand and foot in his bed in the
hospital.
Kennedy, II. Gilmore and Wilson en-
tered the saloon shortly after midnight
and. according to bartender John Will
liams, the men were much under the
influence of intoXicants. After taking
a drink they ordered another round, but
the bartender refused. Kennedy de-
manded that Williams treat, but the
latter declined.
Maddened Man Shoots Companion
Angered, Kennedy drew a revolver
from his pocket. fired one shot at Will
liams. but missed him. Then turning to
Wilson, with whom he formerly had
been on i'll terms because of some mis-
directed racing tips" and without n
word Kennedy shot his companion
through the head. Wilson died the
next day.
Attracted by the shooting Patrolman
Daniels rushed to the scene of the af-
fair and found Kennedy lying on the
floor of the saloon apparently uncon-
scious. In removing him TO the city
Jail Kennedy revived and attempted to
escape. Since that time he has been
confined to the city Jail.
Loud cries of a maniac reached the
jailer yesterday afternoon. At first
no attention was paid to them, as the
jailer thought they were the rawlings
of a drunken man. Later a call from
the matron revealed that Kennedy was
giving utterance to his feelings. A
close watch revealed that the man was
suffering from mental delusions.
Sees Awful Sights
Wild screams, followed by moans
and curses. gnashing of teeth and hol-
low laughter brough the keepers of the
prisoners on the run to Kennedy's cell
late in the afternoon. With hair dis
heveled and eyes distended, the muir
derer lay crouched in the darkest cor
ner.

ashen hue, turned white. He was be-

ures of the Internal regions-and so he
continued to rave.
In speaking of the case one of the
police surgeons said last evening that
he thought the condition of Kennedy's s
mind was due to overindulgence in
liquor and the thoughts of his crime
combined. The doctor considered him
in serious condition, but believed he

STEALS WATCH; MISSES $500
Man Falls Asleep on Grass PIot-Pick-
pockets Take Valuable Gift but
Fail to Find Treasure

While asleep OH the lawn of the Ar
cade depot late yesterday afternoon.
Elton Pendleton of Santa Monica was
robbed of a valuable gold watch; but
the thief overlooked $500 in the mans $
vest pocket just above the watch. Pen
dleton was partially awakened and
thought he felt his watch being taken.
Following behind an unidentified
man, Pendleton staggered for nearly a
hall block crying in thick voice that
the stranger had just relieved him of a
valuable watch. Pendleton and the
stranger were arrested by Patrolman
Block and sent to the central station in
charge of Patrolman Craig for investi-
cation.
Pendleton says he had been drugged
early in the day and in a semi-conscious
condition had wandered to the Arcade
depot. where he fell on the grass. Sew
eral hours later he was awakened by
the stranger, who was bending over
him and extracting a watch from his
pocket. The Santa Monica man claimed
that he saw stranger take the
watch and pass it to another man.
Think PendIeton Mistaken
Pendleton says that after the robber
had taken his watch and given it to a
companion the second party disap-
peared and the robber coolly walked
away. 1t was then that the Santa
Monica man claims to have realized
what was taking place and at once be-
gan to follow the accused man.
According to witnesses, small crowd
was soon attracted by the cries of the
man. whom they supposed to be intoXi-
Gated. following we'll dressed man ac-
cusing him of stealing a watch. The
supposed robber did not attempt to
fee but walked toward patrolman
He submitted to arrest and later, when
questioned by the detectives, told a
story the officers were inclined to be-
lieve.
One of the queer features of the case
was that Pendleton carried 5000 i'm cur
rency In an outside vest pocket and the
money was not taken. This added to
the fact that the supposed pickpocket
proved that he was in the employ of
a wholesale house, convinced the OFF,
GERS that Pendleton was mistaken.
