ACQUITTED OF
MURDER CHARGE
Mrs. Erb and Sister Freed
by Jury at Media, Pa.
PATHETIC SCENE In COURT

Defendants Fall into Each Others
Arms When Verdict Is Announced
and Later Thank Each Member of
the Jury in Words Broken by Sobs.
Eighteen Hours Spent In Reaching
an Agreement in the Case.
Media, Pa, Jan. S.-Mrs M. Flor
ence Erb, wife of Captain j. Clayton
Erb, who was well known in political
circles all over Pennsylvania, and her
sister, Mrs. Catherine Beisel, who
were charged with the sensational
murder of Captain Erb on the night
of Oct 6, 1908, walked from the Della
ware county courthouse free women.
After the jury had been out nearly
eighteen hours it brought in verdict
of not guilty in the case of each wo-
man, both of whom had been charged
separately and jointly with shooting
the captain. Thus ends a trial that
has held the interest of the people OF
the state for more than week, dur
ing which time much scanealous evil
dence was brought out, some of which
did not reach the reading public.
Almost up to the momsnt when the
| Jury announced that it had agreed the
| prospects for a unanimous decision OF
| the twelve men was not bright. Dur
ing the morning the jury filed into
court and asked for further instruc
tions on the question of self-defense
and while the spectators were still
| standing in the courtroom discussing
| the instructions given the jury WORD
| came from the juryroom that the men
had agreed.
| Judge Johnson took his seat just as
| the jury was escorted into the room
/ There was absolute silence. Then the
court clerk went through the usua
| procedure of asking whether the jury
had agreed and the foreman an
nounced the verdict of not guilty IL
each case.
There was a seconds pause, deat
silence, then, with half scream, tn,
sisters fell in each others arms. II
an instant the women were surround
ed by friends and their attorneys ant
! overwhelmed with congratulations.
The jury was not polled and afte
Judge Johnson had thanked them Mrs
Erb hurried from her seat to Dickin
son, the foreman, and wrung hi
hands. Mrs. Beisel did likewise an
they went down the line of the twelv
men. Tears stood in the eyes of mos
Of them and the thanks of the womel
were sobbed out in broken syllables.

RADICAL RECOMMENDATION
Governor Sheldon Would Sterilize
Criminals and insane.

Lincoln, Neb., Jan. S.-After calling
attention to the increase in insane pa
tients and convicts Governor Sheldon,
the retiring governor, in his message
to the legislature, asserted that socl-
ETY. was justified in adopting laws for
protection. He said:
Society is justified in adopting such
policies and in carrying them out
against individuals as will in the long
run tend to help elevate and perpetu-
ate the human race. Careless and Ill
advised marriages have had great
deal to do in increasing the dependent
classes and in producing untold mis-
cry.
"In order to prevent the confirmed
criminal and the incurable insane from
producing offspring | suggest that you
give careful consideration to the ne
cessity of passing law providing fol
the sterilization of that class OF peo
ple"

Victory for the Government.

Paris, Jan. 5.--A scrutiny OF the
results of the elections held in France
for members of the chamber of depu-
ties shows that the Radicals and the
Radical Socialists have made net
gains OF fifteen seats. The Social
Independents gained two and the Con-
|servatives one seat, while the Pro
gressives lost eighteen. Thus 1t IS
seen that the election has been VIC
tory for the government ana partic-
ularly for the Radicals.

les of A. S. Cheney and his wife from
vhe ruins of the American consulate.
The apartment of the Cheneys has not

wreckage still remain to be removed.
Bayard Cutting, Jr., Winthrop Chan
ler and Stuart X. Lupton, American
consular representatives, are making
every effort to trace Americans sup
posed to have been In the earthquake
sone at the time of the disaster, but
80 far without success.
The authorities have determined to
isolate Messina as the only means OF
preventing an outbreak OF serious ILL
ness. The relief parties complain that
the starving refugees refuse the most
nutritious food and want only maca-
toni. The work of the soldiers In
Gessina consists principally In gather
Ing up dead bodies and burying them
In trenches between layers Of quick
lime.
The work of relief is now well un-
Ser way In Messina, but the smaller
towns In the interior are being neg
lected. Ships arriving on the scene
henceforward will be sent to the coast
towns and parties will go inland
with supplies.

ANTI-RACE TRACK LAW is
ADOPTED IN WASHINGTON
Pool Selling and Allied Offenses Are
Made Felony by the
Bill

OLYMPIA, Wash, Feb 3-The anti
race track gambling bill passed the
senate today. The bill passed the house
last week.
The bill makes pool selling, book
making or conducting places where bets
are made on horse races a, felony and
provides that the possession of gam
bling parapherna'lia is prima facie evil
Gence of a violation of the act.
An emergency clause, which, if
adopted, would put the law into effect
Immediately, was the principal point
of contention in the senate today.
An amendment was adopted making
the act take effect May 1 instead of
Immediately, but the concession did not
save the clause from defeat.
When the roll was finally called the
vote stood % for the emergency clause
and Is against. Without the clause the
law becomes effective June II.
The house treated the Senate's defeat
of the emergency clause as an amend
ment to the act and by unanimous
vote refused to concur. When the re-
port of the houses action reached the
senate President Ruth ruled the senate
had not amended the bill and declared
a motion to appoint a conference COM
mittee out of order.
The controversy between the two
houses leaves the status of the bill in
doubt

APPROPRIATION BILL
STlRS UP CRITICISM
AGRICULTURAL APP 0INTMENTS
MUCH OPPOSED
General Debate Affords an Oppor-
tunity for Attack on Referee
Board Of Consulting
Chemists

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-General de-
bate on the agricultural appropriation
bill in the house today afforded critics
and defenders of the department of ag-
riculture an excellent field.
Mr.. Lever of South Carolina led off
with an attack on the appointment of
the referee board of consulting chemists
in the department Mr.. Heflinger OF
Alabama asked on behalf of the cotton
growers for a governmental monthly
report on the consumption of cotton.
Mr.. Sturgis of West Virginia urged
an extension of the forest service.
Mr.. Humphrey of Washington took
an exactly opposite view, while Mr..
Mondel of Wyoming declared the bu-
reau of forestry the most autocratic
bureau outside of Russia.
Mr.. BarthOldt of Missouri declared
for inland waterway Improvement, and
Mr.. Chandler of Mississippi complained
of the tariff on agricultural implements.
Chairman Scott of the agricultural
committee closed the debate with eX-
planatory remarks on work done by the
department during the last year.
Before the bill was taken up in gen
eral house. the house passed the senate
bill for the appointment of federal
judges.
Senator Teller of Colorado addressed
the senate today in support of Senator
Bacon's resolution, declaring the senate
had a right to any information in pos
session of the executive departments,
and cited various precedents to prove
his contention. He said only in eX-
ceptional cases was the president war
ranted in Withholding information, and
declared congress had never failed tC
respect such action on the part Of the
executive when it had been based on
considerations of public interest.

RUSSIAN POLICE DIRECTOR
is ACCUSED OF TREASON
So=CalIed Head of Fighting Socialists
Was in Reality a Spy
for Gar

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 3.-The case
of the so-caIled provocative agents,
Azef and Lopukine, which came up in
the duma yesterday in the form of an
Interpolation, continues to be the sole
topic of conversation among the people
The local press is filled with details of
the incident. Azef was known as the
head of the fighting Russian Socialists
WhlIe he was in reality a government
spy, and LOpukine, former director of
police in the department of the minis
try of the interior, is charged with high
treason in connection with the Azef
revelations. Azef is now in hiding
and Lopukine is a prisoner in ST. Pc
tersburg.
The Rossia declares Lopukine should
be tried in open court The court, it is
asserted, has no desire to hide the
facts, but welcomes full investiga-
ton, and is determined to prove to the
world that a former official who has
betrayed secrets of state to the enemy
Of the country cannot escape punish
ment.
The disclosures regarding Azef have
been chiefly in the matter OF his actiY-
ity in organizing assassinations. but
today the other side of the shield is be-
ing disclosed, and it is being shown
that his chief value to the government.
