MUCH LIKE THE THAW CASE.
Man Who Shot Wife's Admirer Gets
Ten Years for Second Degree
Murder.

Greensburg, Pa, Feb. 7.-Strikingly
similar to the Thaw- White tragedy and
the trial of Harry K. Thaw up to date
was the EbIer murder Of eighteen
months ago and the Kennedy trial
James Kennedy, a we'll to do citi-
zen of New Kensington, was told by
his wife that Howard Ebler was pay
ing her undue attention, but admitted
that she had encouraged him.
Kennedy killed Ebler in cold blood
shooting him down in the street, after
practicing with revolver for hours
At the trial his plea was insanity, and
DR.. c. C. Wiley, who was on the stand
at New York today, was brought from
Pittsburg. He said Kennedy was in
sane at the time of the murder through
excitement and worry.
District Attorney J. E. B. Cunning
ham managed to tangle DR.. Wiley sc
that his testimony was confusing even
to himself Kennedy was convicted OF
murder in the second degree and was
sent to prison for ten years.
Mrs Margaret Kennedy. the wife
who had caused the killing, was Their
placed on trial, was convicted of com
plicity and sent to the pentitentiary to

LOOKS LIKE HARD
Nut TO CRACK
Three Juries Disagree in
in Case of Straus VS..
Dock at Harbor.
Cspe, iaI to Lake County Times.)


Indiana Harbor Feb. S.-A jury
which has been listening to the evil
dence in the case of Straus VS.. Dock, In
Justice G. w. Jones court in Indiana
Harbor,' came into court this morning
after spending the night in an effort
to reach an agreement, and announced
that they were unable to agree.
This body is the third jury which has
heard evidence in this case and has
brought in a disagreement.
The case looks simple enough on its
face. 1t is one of assault and battery
and grew out of interference on the
part of Dock between Morris Strauss
and his sister, Mary Strauss. Dock, in
passing the Strauss home overheard a
row going on between the brother and
sister. Thinking the woman was
being abused. he stepped into the house
and asked Straus to desist. He also
offered to help Miss Straus.
The result of the interference was a
quarrel between the two men which
later assumed the proportions of a fight.
according to the testimony. Straus, to
get even, swore out a warrant charg-
| ing Dock with assault and battery.
| The rival merits in the case seem to
| fact that three juries, one Of them af-
ter an all night session, have failed
| to establish an agreement.

In the marriage license list of the

It warranted at least an inquiry as 10

When asked today whether the IL

WORKING FOR MONUMENT.

Washington. Feb. Representative
Crumpacker is working like a Trojan
to secure an appropriation from con-
gress to pay half the cost of erecting
a monument on Tippecanoe battlefield.
Indiana to pay the other half He has
assurance that he can get the bill
through the house provided the senate
passes it first. At his request Senator
Beveridge introduced a bill carrying an
appropriation OF $4,000 for this pur-
pose. 1t was referred TO the commit
tee of library, which has not had a
meeting this season. Senator Wetmore.
chairman of the committee is away,
and no one seem to have the faintest
idea when he will return. Mr.. Crum-
packer was busy today trying TO stir
the senate to action. Senator Bever-
idge will endeavor TO have the COM
mittee polled in favor Of the bill if a
formal meeting cannot be had.

WHITING IN LINE;
WANTS CITY HALL
Several Sites Being Consid-
ered-Present Quarters
Are Inadequate.

Whiting interest is now concentrated
exclusively in the matter of a new city
hall, the need of the city for a new
and more commodious building having
made itself apparent to the minds of
the city fathers.
Writings municipal affairs are now
conducted in little ''six-by- eight
building on the corner of White Oak and
Fischrupp avenues, the lower floor be-
ing used as a fire station and jail and
the second occupied by the mayor, city
clerk, treasurer, council chamber and
sleeping rooms for the fire marshall
and his assistants.
The sites being considered by the
councilmen as advantageous to the
citys requirements are rather limited,
but each seems to have it's own ad-
vantages. The best favored site is in
oliver street between the manual train
ing school and the public library, and
this seems to be a very desirable loca-
ton.
Besides being convenient it would
centralize all of Writings public build
ings, and give a certain distinction to
the street should large and imposing
structure be erected thereon.
Other sites which have been sug-
gested are in 1O9th street, the main
street of the town, which to many is
regarded as the only place for the
building. There is no available ground
! to be purchased but there are two
| buildings whose owners are very anx-
| ious to sell to the city. The one Is
the Grippe building, located between
New York and oliver streets on the
south side of 18th street opposite the
! Congregational church. The other is
the Recht building. in the corner OF
| Clark and 119th street. Both of these
| buildings are newly built and should
| they be purchased t1e interior would
need remodeling. Yet they are beth
worthy of careful consideration.
Mayor Smith, in response to in
quiries by TIMES correspondent las
night stated that he had formed nc
definite opinion in favor of or against 6
new city hall. I'VE are in the same
situation as the other cities around
here" he said. Our city hall is in neet
of repairs and on this account 1 wouIt
not say at this time that am in favor
of a new city hall"

BEvERIDGE's BILL KILLED.
VIII Remain so Deeply Buried in Conn
mittee That it Wont Come Out.

Washington, Feb. 8.-Senator Bever-
idge's crusade in behalf of federal leg
islation to curb the evils OF child labor
was given its death blow Wednesday.
While the senate leadere were con-
Guiding an arrangement whereby Sen
ator Beveridge's proposition will not
even come to a vote in the senate at
this session, but will remain buried in
committee, the judiciary committee of
the house was engaged in delivering a
carefully prepared report to the house.
in which that committee of eminent
lawyers voiced the opinion that such
legislation as Senator Beveridge recon-
mends is not worthy of consideration
for a moment because 1T is an effort to
usurp the police powers of the states.
The judiciary committees report is
1000 words long and bristles with such
emphatic statements as the following:
THE national government is too
weak to undertake the exercise of the
police power of the states. In a short
time this great nation would be worse
than a ship in midocean in a great
storm, without rudder or compass
