The remaining 32,OOO,Oo represents the

This sum bears the blood stains Of Frank

Nineteen months ago the American Sugar

TRYING THIRD MAN
FOR SCHULTZ DEATH
Calvin Dorsey, Alexandria
Negro, Placed in Dock
on Murder Charge.

Calvin Dorsey, the third Of the four
negroes charged with the murder OF
Walter Schultz, the artist, near Alex
andria in March last, was placed on
trial this morning, following the prompt
verdict of guilty returned By the jury
late yesterday afternoon against Rich
Srd Pines, the second Of the quartet
TO face trial.
One hundred and thirty veniremen
were summoned TO the courthouse this
morning, from which to select the twelve
men who viii try Dorsey.
One of the shortest periods of time
ever taken by a jury to reach a verdict
in a murder case was employed by the
Pines jury, which returned a verdict OF
guilty in the first degree against the
defendant within thirty minutes after
leaving the box for the jury room.
The taking of testimony In the Pines
case was completed about noon yester-
day, and after the court had taken a
recess the arguments began. Arguments
were ended at 40 O'Clock in the after
noon, when the case was given to this
jury. At exactly 1850 the jury sent word
20 the judge that they were ready to
report.
When Clerk L. NJ. Duffey, read the
jury's verdict, Pines arose in his seat,
with a smile on his lips. He made
no comment, but seemed TO take the
whole AFFAIR as a joke.
Attorney NicOl made a motion to
set aside the verdict as contrary %
the law and the evidence and also for
a new trial. Arguments on these m D
lions will be heard by Judge Barley

Dorsey is represented by Attor-

WOODEN SCHEDULES
CUMMINS' TARGET
Iowa Senator Insists That
the Tariff Should Be
ModerniZed.

Senator Cummins of Iowa advanced
to the attack on the wooden schedule
of the tariff bill in the Senate this
morning.
This is the fourth day wherein that
schedule has been under q fierce bonn
bardment. Senator Dolliver began the
assault and kept it up continuously
until yesterday afternoon. Then Sem
ator La Toilette of wisconsin unlimb-
ereG his guns and went into action.
Last evening he introduced a long series
Of amendments TO the wooden schedule.
twenty-four in number, calculated to
result in the readjustment Of fthe duties
on wool and wooden goods on a fair and
modern basis The La Toilette amsnd-
ments were pending when the Senate
met this morning. After the routine
morning business, Senator Cummins got
the floor.
The junior Iowa Senator announced
that II the pending amendments by
Senator La Toilette were voted down he
would offer a motion to recomnnit the
whole woOlen schedule to the Finance
Committee with Instructions to overhaul
it along certain lines.
Wants Duties Unchanged.
In a general way. the motion, which
he read, provided that the duties on
wool should be left unchanged, TO fix
compensatory duties on manufactured
woolens which would represent the diff
ference in the cost of wool to American
and foreign manufacturers. and to fix
additional duties on manufactured
wooIens equal to the difference in the
cost of production at home and abroad,
allowing a fair profit TO the domestic
manufacturer bat less the compensatory
duties.
In substance the idea OF Senator Cum
minis does not differ from the idea OF
Senator Dolliver. Both would have the
wooden schedule modernized and SO ar
ranged that the faults now so widely
complained of are removed.
Farmers Get Little.

United States. while benefited Indirect
" by the protective tariff, raise but few
products Of the soil which are the direct

Senator Hepburn asked what products
there were on which the farmer was not
directly benefited.

nous agricultural production Of his own
State and said there was no 1.-THE Of

THERE IS NO SANTA

CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa. Dec Co.
Rev. Willoughby j.. Bare. pastor Of st.
Marks Lutheran Church figured in
the role of an iconoclast last night al
the annual Christmas entertainment OF
the Sunday school He asserted that
the Santa Claus idea OF Christmas was
wrong and should be abolished.
Mr. Bare. who came TO Conshohocken
several years ago from the interior OF
York county declared that much OF the
indifference OF the rising generation IS
due 10 the deception so generally prac-
ticed i'm the celebration OF Christmas.
The child is taught deception, untruth-
fulness. unhlialness and lack of wirship
OF the Christ-child.
The clergyman declared ne was sorry
that the Christian people permitted the
true spirit OF Christmas 70 be sot aside
by commercialism. He decrled the fact
that some Sunday schools permitted
the Introduction at the Christmas SER
vices OF false gods and personages,
which have no place in the Bible and
whose presence takes from the sacred
ness OF what might otherwise be an in
structive service"
During the seven years Of Rev. Mr..
Bare's pastorate no Christmas service
OF the Sunday school has included even
a recitation having in any way a re-
ference to Kris Kringlo or Santa Claus
