 He will be taken to Auburn tomor- row The youth showed no sign of emotion when Justice DaVendorf pro- nounced sentence. Replying to the question whether he had anything to say before sentence was pronounced, he replied: "I am innocent of the crime charged in the indictment, and, there- fore, 1t should not be passed"

MIR. SHAW'S REMEDY
SECRETARY OF TREASURY TO RE-
 LIEVE SITUATION.
Hears From American Bankers As- sOcIatIOn and Will Soon Deposit X en Million Dollars In Various
 Eastern Banks.

Washington. D. C., Dec. 10-Secre- tary Shaw had an interview today with the Bankers, Convention now in ses- sion in the city, and later in the day made the following announcement:
 T have received In the last ten days an unusually large umber of letters from business men representing all sections of the country, complaining of the extraordinary high rates of in terest. have conferred, during the same period, by letter or personally, with a large number of bankers scat tered through the South and Middle West. as well as in the East. I have today conferred with the Committee of the American Bankers Association now in session In the city. These gentlemen represent Chicago, st. Louis, New Or leans. Atlanta. Pittsburg, Indiana polls, Des- Moines and other cities.
 From the best information can get. think the following describes the situation fairly well;
 Our. blessings are the real cause of the actual stringency in money, rec ognized everywhere. An unusually large crop and unexampled inrustriaI activy have created an unpt ecedented demand for money. The world is ev- anywhere prosperous and money is in great demand through Europe as well
 
 such a volume of credits-and they are based on an unequalled volume oS assets =~
 "The manufacturers of cotton are buying that staple by the train load. The cotton planter. unlike the West ern farmer. demands actual cash, and he carries 1t home in his pocket The Western farmer is paid in checks, which he deposits in the bank to his credit, and therefore does not absorb actual money. as does the cotton plant CT. This money should be returned to the banks when the planter settles with his merchant soon after the first of January, but between now and then. the cotton consuming country. as well as the cotton producing country. Is short Of money.
 New England has sent millions to the South, and the manufacturers of cotton thoughout the south have ex- haustcd the capacity of local banks. and are trying to borrow elsewhere There Is no occasion for alarm but I believe there is occasion for relief This I have decided to grant in the following manner:

BIRDSONG
 JURY HUNG All But One For Ac-
 quittal. MeLAURIN'S GREAT APPEAL Charge of Judge Favored Cause
 of Defendant. All Women Spectators Were Asked to Leave Court Room During the Arguments of Counsel f~r
 Defense.

Hazlehurst, Miss. Dec. 10.-United states Senator A. J. McLaurIn today made a stirring appeal for the life Of his relative, Mrs. Angie Birdsong on trial charged with murdering pr. Thomas Butler, the man who Is al" legged to have defamed her reputation.
 Senator McLaurin made the principal address for the defendant. He told the court that he Is not a paid attorney in this case. He then advised that the women present leave the room. which most of them did. He said that If the defendant had been debauched and had slain her debaucher the debaucher had met justice, and that he believed if she had been slandered and had slain her traducer she had done right.
 Any woman, he said. no matter how low she may be. may protect her honor and her person against man.
 He touched upon the emotional in- sanity plea of the defense by saying that Mrs Birdsong had become wife at 13 years of age and that after the birth of her first child she had devel- oped a diseased mind which became weak and Irresponsible.
 The young defendant sat holding an infant during the Senator's address. Several persons In the court room cried softly and members of the jury winked udEh le8fS+
 Throughout the day before Senator McLaurin's speech, incidents favorable to the defendant had been transpirfng. Portions of Judge Miles instructions to the jury before the arguments be- gan were considered significant.
 He said that the jury was to take into consideration the fact that the defendant was a woman and the cir- cumStances and conditions under which she acted. He declared that the state must overcome the presumption of in- sanity and that if the Jury found the defendant to be Insane she must be ac- quilted. She should be acquitted, moreover. if it was believed that Dr. Butler had attempted to assault her and if she was sufficiently frightened to consider her honor In danger when The case was given to the jury at 6 o'clock.
 After several hours deliberation, 1t was reported that the jury stood eleven to one for acquittal The jury was then locked up for the night and will not report until tomorrow.

EXAMINING BOOzE.
Pure Food Commissioners Touch But
 Taste Not.


 Louisville. Ky, Dec. 1O.-An impos- ing array of counsel representing ev- cry branch of the whiskey interests or Kentucky greeted the National Pure Food Commission when the second week of It's hearings was begun this morning.
 Both distiIler and recti1er are appre- hensive of changes which will. be of far reaching effect and as the time for the rulings of the Commission to be- come effective is near at hand. they are particularly anxious for something det- mite upon which to plan their business for the coming year.
 The rectlfieTs say that a great hard ship was worked on them by tho en- actment of the rectifiers license at the recent session of the Legislature ana they are greatly worried over the pros pect of the Commission standing pat on its definitions.
 Arguments have already been made before the Commission to show by the origin of the word and It's general ae- ceptance that whiskey should include rectIfied whiskey.
 VIM Hough. of St. Louis, attorney for the National Wholesale Liquor Dealers Association. which makes about 90 per cent. of the rectified whiskey in inc limited States, was the first speak CT. He made an extended argument to prove that the product now known as rsctined, blended or compounded whiskey IS the same product that for generations has been known by the simple term whiskey, He made a plea not to deprive the rectifier of the term and force them to accept a stigmatized term.
 The rectified whiskey, as late as last year, he said. was officially recognized by the Government as whiskey. The rectifiers he said are willing to print on their labels that their whiskies are blended or otherwise to distinguish them from straight wniskies.
 He exhibited samples of rye and pour bon whlskey and natural spirits in sim liar bottles. The products were color less and the speaker said were almost identical substances. He also submit ted samples of whiskey colored by the charred barrel process and 'liduor ar- tificially eolored. They were passed around the table and the commission CTS snifRed at them and shook them 10 ace how the "bead" responded" They did not taste them. however.

Italy Does Not want Russian Writer
 At Naples.
 New York, Dec. 10.--A Rome cable dispatch. published here today, says the Socialist and Radical papers wildly attack the Goyernment, because, ac- cording to their view. 1t has decided to compel Maxim Gorky, the Russian writer, by kind of interdict, to leave
 Gorky has been living quietly at Ca- pri He was to have gone to Naples for the first performance of his drama, "ChlIdren of the Sun" which has been played over hundred times in St Pe- tersburg
 To be just. the dispatch adds, it must be said that the Government is embar- rassed as the Neapolitan population Is very excitable. A report of the dis orders some weeks ago, when Gorky spoke at 8 meeting would certainly have displeased Russia, and Russia Is now negotiating commercial treaty with Italy.
