CANAL PICTURES SHOWN.
President Taft and Diplomatic Corps
Attend benefit at BeIasco.

twentieth century, was shown in Sc

PLAN TO DISCARD
ALDRICH SCHEME
House Democrats Drafting New Cur
rency Reform Measure-Has
Bryan's Endorsement.

The Democrats of the House who are
drafting a currency reform measure
have decided to throw over the Aldrich
central reserve association idea. The
Democratic members OF the subcommit-
tee of the House Banking and Currency
Committee, at a meeting held yesterday,
tentatively decided upon the programme
of currency reform which they will urge
at the special session of Congress. This
programme, it is understood, already has
the Endorsement of William J. Bryan and
Democratic leaders of the House. How
President-elect Wilson stands on il is not
known.
Only a very general outline of the
programme was obtainable, but it is
evident that the Democrats intend to
demolish the laborious efforts of Sena-
tor Aldrich in regard to currency re-
form, so far as the central reserve as
sociation idea is concerned. The Demo-
Gratis intend to steer clear Of the criti-
cism that was aimed. perhaps unjustly
at the Aldrich plan that it opened the
way for domination by big financial in
terests.
The Democrats, while doing away with
the central reserve association, intend
to retain that phase of the Aldrich plan
which contemplated the organization of
the national banks of the country into
divisional associations. The Democratic
plan also authorizes national banks to
deal in commercial paper and retains
the feature of the Aldrich plan which
will permit the issuing OF national bank
notes secured partly by bankable COM
mercial paper.
The chief feature of the Democratic
plan is that it leaves the United States
Treasury Department supreme in author
ity over the divisional associations, in
stead OF delegating that authority as
proposed in the Aldrich plan to the CEN
tral reserve association. The one aim
of the Democrats programme according
20 those who have framed II, rs to pro-
vide means for elasticity in currency and
a possible means of relief in money strin-
gencies.
The Democrats have still to work out
many details of their plan. The meeting
yesterday, at which the programme was
tentatively approved, was attended by
Representatives Glass Of Virginia =.
Korbly of Indiana. Buckley of Ohio,
and Taylor of Alabama. Representative
Glass, who is chairman Of this commit
tee, announced last night that the COM
mittee intends to hold hearings on cur
rency legislation soon after the Christ
mas recess.

Salem, Mass, Nov. 25.-The fate Of Et-
tor. GIovannitti, and Caruso, charged
with Being principals in the killing OF
Annie Lopizzi in the Lawrence strike
riots. tonight rests with the jury and
a verdict is not expected until to-mor-
row morning. The twelve men were
given the case at 1915 o'clock this morn
ing after a charge by Judge Quinn, IN
which the court instructed the jurors
that under no circumstances should they
find either Ettor or Giovannitti guilty
of murder in the first degree. but that
in the case OF Caruso they might bring
in a verdict of guilty of murder in the
first degree or second degree, or they
might acquit him, according to how they
considered the evidence.
The sole question here" said the
court, 'is did they incite to violence
and unlawful conduct that brought
about the untimely death of Annie Lo-
pizzi" There is no question about the
right of public meeting. and the right
of public discussion is unlimited, with
the exception, of course, that 1t must
not be used for the purpose of melting
to a breach of peace or to violence to
personal property.
Jury still Out.
In arriving at your conclusion you
may consider the matter of dynamite
alluded to. Whether or not the strikers
believed that the mill owners had dyna-
mite planted to inJure their cause.
THE fact, II you SO find, that Ettor
or Giovannitti are unbelIevers or So
cialists is of no Importance or mate
rIality In itself"
At o'clock tonight the jury was still
out. and the clerk OF the court an

The Smelt.

1t is the opinion Of the true gourmet
that of all marine pan fish there is
none to compare with the smelt los
merus mordax). This primary rank Is
:ts own by reason of its delicacy and
delicious flavor. and when fried light
brown i'm very fine breadcrumbs and
served with melted butter there Is none
that disputes its pre-eminence. Its de-
llghtful flavor. however, as well as its
peculiar odor, is evanescent. Like the
mackerel 1t cannot be too fresh. II is
from its odor that the smelt derives
not only It's familiar but Latin name,
an odor so aggressive of sliced cucum-
bers that If It's presence be manifested
only to the sense of smell people are
often deluded into such superstition.
This odor is not marked except in the
freshly caught fish and disappears in
the cooking. giving place, however, TO
a fitting resurrection Of the slaelt to
an olfactory sense still more savory
and delightful.
