while Bacon was of the opinion the
words weakened the bill and advised
that they be eliminated. Morgan would
have the words stricken out because
they cast doubt on the bill. Lodge
said: IF the words remain and the

John p. Green, first vice president Of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company:
Recent developments at the hearing
before the interstate commerce COM
mission in respect to acquisition and
ownership of stocks Of coal companies
and acceptance of gratuities of it's en-
ployes, are surprise to the manage

have caused injustice to the public
or company, the facts with respect
thereto will be thoroughly investigat-

culated in any manner to affect the full
and impartial discharge of the duty
owed by the company, it's officers and
employees, to the public, will be toll

to the reputation and standing of a

stock from coal companies, Sheppard
said he would not attempt to justify
the practice.

BERKMAN IS RELEASED
Sentence Of Men Who Tried to Kill
Henry Clay Frick, During Great
Steel Strike, Shortened Nine Years
Because of Good Behavior = Will
Not Become Leader Of Anarchists.

Pittsburg, May 1S.--Alexander Rerk-
man, who made an attempt on the life
of Henry Clay Frick, during the great
steel strike at Homestead in 1892, was
released from prison today, having
served fourteen of his twenty-three
years sentence, earning commuta-
ton of nine years by his good behav-
dor. Police officials met Bertlaham
upon his release, and notified him to
leave the city at once. He departed
for st. Louis.
In an interview, Berkman said he
had never regretted his act, and would
have had no regret if he had succeeded
in killing Frick. It was a matter of
principle, not personal feeling, which
prompted the deed. The conditions,
he said, had changed. He had nothing
against Frick and never expected to
see him again. Continuing, he said:
Il do not know what I shall do until
get to st. Louis. There is one thing
l want to deny, and that is that l am
to become leader of the anarchists in
this country, and take Herr Most's
place. There is nothing in that. am
going to try to make an honest liv-
ing"

Thus declares resolution presented

crimes. The resolution, which plainly
refers to the insurance scandals, the
Standard Oil Company and John d.

1--WE declare, therefore, that 1t is the
business of Christians and churchmen
to be honest before they are rich; that
success gained by violating the law OF

thing; that the greed for wealth and
power which leads men into these
crimes must be checked; that the
church cannot afford to allow men to
think that her silence, much less her

from them, and that unless the church
does take strong stand against these

1t appears to me the act Of destroying

shirt into strings, out of which he con-
structed a rope. When the attendant
came back Rinaman was hanging from
the window top, dead, with seeming
smile of triumph on his face.

for the second time Of manslaughter.
Usher secured q new trial by appeal

Last time, Judge Thompson was the

five years in the pen!tentiary. The de-
fense appealed from this judgment,
claiming that the state had shown no
motive for the killing of Garrity, and
that the states claim that Garrity was
shot while sleeping in his bed was not
borne out by the evidence; the defense
was that Garrity was suffering from
delir,um tremens and that Usher was
Obliged to shoot him in self-defense.
The supreme court reversed the de-
cision of the lower court and granted
Usher a new trial.
