PITIFUL ROMANCE OF HUNGARIAN
BAKER Barred IN TRIAL FOR MURDER

New York, June 5.-The poor and
pitiful romance of Casper Zitnik, a
broken-down Hungarian baker, was
read in the court of general sessions
yesterday in the shape of an affidavit,
when Zitnik was arrested for sentence
upon his plea of guilty of manslaughter
in the first degree Zitnik killed his
wife Feb. II by pouring sulphuric acid
in her eyes while she slept i'm their
squalid rooms. The acid penetrated
her brain.
James B. Mcclellan, his lawyer, read
Zitniks affidavit, the truth of which
has been established by investigation
1t appears-that Zitnik was young
man of some prominence and good So
cial connections in Budapest II years
ago. He married professional model,
who was reputed TO be the most per-
fectly formed and beautiful woman in
Hungary.
She deserted him after two years of

Especial Correspondence of The Argus.)
Washington, June 3.-President Taft
did promise revision downward!
That is an established fact now, and
is so regarded in Washington. 1t is
the verdict of the United States sen
ate, which, acting in the capacity of a
court, has compiled what will be his
toric collection of Mr.. Taft's now fam
ous revision downward speeches.
The majority opinion of the senate,
concurred in by progressive republi-
cans and democrats, was reported by
Senator Beveridge of Indiana. The
Congressional Record shows that the
minority opinion, which is subscribed
TO by the "standpatters," was brought
in by Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island
The latter is strongly inclined to the
belief that the republican party, nor
the party candidate, ever promised re-
vision downward.
Speak for Themselves.
But the exhibits filed in the case
speak for themselves. Here is par
