FOR OLD AGE PENSIONS
First Bill to Be introduced by
the Socialist Congressman
From Milwaukee.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
MILWAUKEE,, Wis, January M.-The
first social democratic bill to be intro
duced in Congress by Milwaukee's So
cialist congressman will be one to pro-
vide a national old age pension for aged
wage workers. This was announced to-
day by Mr.. Berger. who says that this
measure is the first that is approved
for congressional action by the national
social democratic party. The bills intro
duced by Mr.. Berger must all have the
sanction of the national socialist party,
just as the private secretary who will
serve Berger will not be Berger's own
choice. but will be the selection of the
party at large. The bill as understood
is already drawn up. waiting for presen-
tation.
The socialists in their platform declare
in favor of law giving every wage
Garner over sixty years and who has
been a citizen over fifteen years a PEN
sion of $12 month as long as he lives.
The measure to be introduced by Berger
in this respect is the same as the meas
ures introduced in the reichstag OF Ger
many and the chamber of deputies OF
France by the socialists, the only DIFF
ference being the amount of the pension.
as wages are higher in America than
abroad, so the pension Is higher here:
According to Berger's estimates, there
would be about 100000 persons to bene-
fit by this measure, which would appro-
pirate $144.9144 for each person under the
pension provisions. The idea of the So
cialists is to abolish the poorhouses by
abolishing poverty OF those too old to
work longer for their living. The pen
sion would be applicable only to those
who have earned less than So q day. In
announcing his plan Berger calls atten-
ton to the fact that the republican ma
tional platform Of 1900. drawn by Mark
Hanna, provided for the investigation of
the systems of the old age insurance, but
that this policy was dropped by those
who succeeded hing in control of the
party.

MOTHER OF 0CEY SNEAD
TO RECEIVE SENTENCE
Woman Who Confessed to
MansIaughter as Outcome
Of Bathtub Mystery.


NEW YORK. January 21.-Argument
was heard today by Judge Ten Eyck, in
Newark, concerning the sentence to be
pronounced on Mrs. Caroline B. Martin.
who pleaded non vult to manslaughter in
connection with the death of Ocey w.
Snead, the victim Of the East Orange
bathtub mystery.
Samuel Kallisch, who opened the argu-
ment, said Mrs. Martin had not admitted
anything that would show criminal intent
and had never told coherent story
about the death of her daughter to any
body. She did admit to the prosecutor,
Mr.. Mott. said Kalisch. that Ocey Snead
was very i'll the night before she died
and that she lay all that night with her
head in her mothers lap.
Morphine to Induce Sleep.
The woman also admitted, continued
Mr.. Kalisch, that she had given NOR
phine that night to induce sleep, as she
had done on other occasions. When she
saw how the drug had affected Ocey she
put her in cold water in the bathtub in
the hope Of reviving her. When she
finally realized her daughters condition
she became greatly alarmed and went
back to New York half crazed. Mr..
Kalisch secuted the story that Mrs.
Martin and her sisters had plotted
against the life of Ocey Snead in order
to obtain the insurance.
Prosecutor Mott said that as the In
vestigation of the death Of Ocey Snead
had proceeded he had become more and
more convinced that a deliberate crime
had been committed-a crime In which
all three sisters had played their parts.
He said he had evidence showing that
the sisters hung over the body of Ocey
Snead like buzzards over dying dog" !"
Replies to Plea Of Defense.
Referring to the contention Of the de-
fendant's counsel that morphine had been
given to induce sleep, and not with In
tent to kill, Mr.. Mott said:
"If that theory is accepted. then the
moral turpitude of Mrs. Martin is still
evident, for she was like a man in an
automobile who after running over a
child puts on high speed and flees. She
| fed when she realized the condition OF
| her daughter and left her to her fate"
Judge Ten Eyck said he saw no occa.
sion for further delay In the case. and
would pronounce sentence Monday.
