Gompers in Tears
With tears coursing down his cheeks,
President Gompers heard the order
which condemned him TO prison for a
year.
Both Mitchell and Morrison seemed
stunned. although Mitchell appeared to
be the least concerned. Asked if he
had anything to say why sentence
should not be pronounced. President
Gompers declared that he had not con-
sciOusly violated any law.
There was much he would like to say,
he said. but he could not do it at that
time. He added, however, that this is
a struggle Of the working people for the
right II Is a struggle of the ages-a
struggle of the men of labor to throw
off some of the burdens which have
been heaped upon them: to abolish
some of the wrongs and To secure some

The demand for silver to put behind
the small notes would raise the price
of silver bullion to 81 an ounce The
effect of this rise i'm silver would be
magical. 1t would raise the exchange
with silver-using Asia; it would there
by greatly impair the ability of Asia to
export to Europe such products as

Goschen Plan Urged.

During the course of his stay in
Washington, Mr.. Frewen addressed a
letter to Representative w. J. Weeks
of Massachusetts, who is a member of
the banking and currency commission
of the house, and also of the present
congressional monetary commission, in
which he urged the adoption by the
United States and Great Britain of
what is known as the Goschen plan for
the purchase of more silver The
GOSchen plan originated with Lord
Goschen in 1891. when he was chancel-
lor of the British exchequer in Lord
Salisbury's government He was a
strong monometallist, but he suggested
the establishment of a strong central
gold reserve in Great Britain to be
composed of gold collected from the
public by the issuance of small paper
notes to be redeemed in silver and to
be made legal tender for only $40. The
English silver advocates of the time
prevented the adoption of the sugges-
ton, but Mr.. Frewen admits in his let
ter to Mr.. Weeks that they were short
sighted in this course, and he now
urgently presses the adoption of the
plan both in his country and in this.
Mr.. Frewen's letter was published in
the Congressional Record, but at the
time attracted no attention. In it he
dwelt especially upon the advantages
the adoption of the Goschen plan would
be to the United States. In part, he
said:

Washington, Dec. 23-The publication
in Paris of Senator Teller's letter to Sir
Moreton Frewen, the English bimetaI-
list, relative to the rate of exchange
between American and European coun-
tries on the one hand, and Asia on the
other. has served the purpose of calling
attention to the fact that Frewen spent
some time last winter and spring in
Washington urging upon both congress
and the cabinet the importance of a
recognition of the rapidly increasing d.
vergenee between the gold prices of the
Occident and the silver prices of the
Orient
Facts Pointed Out.
He was given a courteous hearing,
and he was insistent in pointing out
the fact that within the past decade
there had been an unexampled rise in
gold prices, especially in the United
States. with a constant increase in
wages and in the cost of living, while
on the other hand the silver rupee, the
money of 500, 00O, 900 people in Asia, had
remained stationary, with the conse-
quence that there had been a marked
falling off in exports to Asiatic coun-
tries, both from England and the
United States. He contended that the
inevitable result might be the rapid
cheapening of Asiatic labor as COM
pared with European and American la
Dor, with the consequence that in the
end many articles which are now manu-
featured in this country and Great
Britain would be made in the Orient
and shipped back here, thus reversing
the present economic condition. This,
he said, must result because of the de-
preciated price of Asiatic silver in gold
standard countries, which reduces the
purchasing power of the Orient in buy

WOMAN MUST TELL
THE RUSTIN STORY
Mrs. Abbie Rice Stirs Up the
Attorneys In Omaha
Murder Trial.

OMAHA, Dec. 3-The evidence
given today by Mrs. Abbie B. Rice,
and vigorous efforts Of the defense to
exclude that part of it connecting
Charles Edward Davis, the defendant,
with the killing Of DR.. Frederick T..
Rustir, were the features today of the
trial of Davis for the physicians MUIR
der on the morning of September 2.
Two Or three minor Witnesses were
called just after court convened this
morning, and Mrs. Rice occupied the
stand the remainder Of the day.
Her recital of the story of her re
lations with the dead surgeon was not
less dramatic than on the two former
occasions. when she had been asked
to give the details Of the alleged pact
TO destroy three lives. Twice during
the day the witness and the jury were
dismissed while counsel argued points
! of law as to the admissibility of por.
| tons of her evidence, and in each in
| stance the state scored a clear cut
victory
BY a ruling made on the last point
| raised, the bars are let down for hear,
! ing Mrs. RiCe's entire story, which will
| include that part wherein Dr. RustiD
| is alleged to have told her ne had en-
gagged Davis to kill him. Once during
| the narrative, When she referred to
Rustin's mother, Mrs. Rice broke into
! tears, but soon regained her com,
posure. Her evidence was given in a
clear voice and with a good memory
for detail. Mrs. Rice had reached the
point where Davis was brought into
her story when she was excused TO:

an issuance of $10O,O00,OOO worth of
Union Pacific stock and 100000, 900
convertible bonds, Cornish replied:

STORAGE MEN TALK
OF DECAYED FRUIT
Best Means of Preservation
From Orchard To Consumer
Are Considered.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-That most
of the decay In fruit in connection with
storage comes from improper packing
was the concehsus of opinion develop
ed today at the session of the Amer
lean Warehouse Mems association.
The subject to arouse perhaps great
est interest was an experimental
cold storage car, built under the direc'
ton of the agricultural department,
which it is the purpose of Secretary
Wilson to send to California and after
ward to Florida, where there are no
refrigerating plants to conduct expert
ments with fruit, by cooling it inme
diately at the orchards.
A general talk on cold storage was
gwen by DIR. Harvey w. Wiley, CHIEF
chemist of the department of agricul'
ture, who contended it was more adj
vantageous TO cool produce than to
freeze it, as freezing, he said, unques
tionably altered the natural condition.
