 Was McMsnigal's Roommate.
 Zeiss, the second witness for the defense to be held to the federal grand jury on charges of perjury, was a roommate of Ortie E. McManigal when McManigal blew up 6 building in De- troit in June, 1907.
 He is charged with telling the truth before the federal grand jury last winter, when the indictments in the dynamite cases were returned, and with testifying falsely today in an er- fort to impeach McManigars confess sion.
 Says McManisaI Offered to Split With
 Him.
 Last winter the district attorney said, Zeiss asserted McManigal never had contided to him about explosions, which was in accord with what Mc- Manigal had said. Today Zeiss testi- fled McManigal not only confided in him but also offered to split up" with him if he (Zeiss) would help do the dynamiting.
 In response to questions by Senator John W. Kern, for the defense, Zeiss testified McManigal had told him all about the Detroit job, had invited him to go to Bloomville, O., to procure more dynamite, and had said Herbert s. Hockin would pay both of them for future jobs"

 No, sir; l don't remember saying What do you think l took you be- fore the grand jury for-to look at?' "Oh, I object" said Senator Kern.
 Questioned by Judge.

 About $500 and JeweIry Taken. They made an entrance into the house and when Mrs. Ernst resisted they overpowered her, first strangling her and then using chloroform. About $500 in cash and jewelry was secured The murder was discovered in the morning with no definite clues. It developed later that Chamberlain and Taylor went to New York.

They were placed in sep arate cells and later both confessed.

"SUFFRAGETTE EGGS
 / 23 CENTS A DoZEN.'
Retailers Meet Prices of Housekeepers
 League and Post Up Signs.

Philadelphia, Dec Eggs sold generally throughout this city today for "A cents a dozen as result of the crusade inaugurated on last Wednes- day morning. In addition to the 1000 cases containing 2,52O 00O eggs sold un- der the direction of the Housekeepers' league, retail dealers sold from their own stock at the same price. In some instances an even cheaper rate was charged, one dealer advertising Sui fragette eggs at 23 cents a dozen"
 While many of the eggs sold by the dealers were of as good quality as those sold by the league, cases were re- ported of retailers selling inferior eggs for the double purpose, 1t was said, of discrediting the movement and get ting rid of their worthless stock.
 The members of the Housekeepers' league have disposed of 6,4S0,000 eggs since the campaign to reduce the high price of living began here.
