cry county. between Chevy Chase Circle

car in charge of Charles Sanger, motor

Motorman Sanger told the police at
Chevy Chase loop, where the body was
brought, that he saw the form Of a man
on the track when his car was a short
distance away and he brought the car
to stop as quickly as possible, but it did
not stop until after the forward truck

Exempted in Provision.

When the bill was before the committee
soon after its introduction in the Senate
the committee decided that, inasmuch as
there is a satisfactory law on the statute
books regulating pawnbrokers in the Dis
trict and the interest rates which they
are allowed to charge, the loan sharH"
bill should not apply to them, and in
serted a provision in the bill specifically
exempting pawnbrokers. With this ex-
emption the bill was passed by the Sem
ate. In agreeing to the bill, however, lne
House cut out this exemption clause.
That disagreement now has become the
slight but till now effective barrier be-
tween the failure and the passage Of the
loan shark" measure.
When the representatives of the two
houses of Congress met to compromise
the fferences the House cOnferees alb
solutely refused to consider compromise
on the pawnbroker proposition. The Sen
ate's representatives suggested several
methods of compromise. but the House
men declined to discuss the possibility of
a compromise.
Either the pawnbrokers must come un-
der the provisions of his loan shark bill
or there will be no bill,'' was the atti-
tude taken by the members of the House.
Present Law Satisfactory.
The senator's pointed out that the pres
ent law regulating pawnbrokers had
proved satisfactory, and that it had sue.
ceeded a law with limitations. such as
would be imposed by the loan shark
bill, which had not proved practicable
The senators maintained that If 1t was
desired to lower the rate of interest gov.
erning pawnbrokers that object should be
accomplished by separate measure. The
senators argued that the placing or pawn
brokers under the loan shark" bill prob
ably would repeal the other GOOD fea-
lures of the present law regulating pawn
brokers, requiring them to make regular
reports, to keep property for a definite
time and to do business along other GER
tain defined lines. But the members OF
the House on the conference committee
were deaf to this tax Of compromise.
The senators pointed out that the Sen
ate had yielded to the views OF the House
as to the interest rate, reducing 1t from
11a per cent a month to l per cent a
month because of the attitude of the
House. In view of this yielding on the
part of the Senate the senators argued
that the House should yield as to the
pawnbroker provision.
Offer as Last Resort.
The senators on the conference commit
tee, desirous of having a loan shark
measure put on the statute books, but
not feeling they could yield on the pawn
broker provision, because the Senate
District committee had acted directly
against the wishes of the House con-
ferees, offered as a last resort to take
the question back to the Senate District
committee.
Senator Curtis head of the conferees
on the part of the Senate, will present
the situation to the Senate District COM
mittee at it's first meeting and ask for
further instructions.

Court Regrets Verdict.

Judge Brown in discharging the jury
said it was Extremely to be regretted
that justice could not be done the de-
fendant. The public and the court do not
feel satisfied with this result For
those of you who earnestly endeavored
to procure a different result the court
desires to extend to you it's sincere
thanks for your efforts to render justice"
Public Indignation at the outcome of the
case is intense, and in legal circles the
possibility of having Hickey tried for
the murder of the kruck boy is being
discussed.

Sentence Deferred.

At Hickey's request the imposition of
sentence was deferred until Monday. The
penalty is not less than twenty years at
hard labor in states prison.
Hickey, after buying young Joseph
candy, enticed him to a deserted build
ing, strangled him and hurled his body
into a cesspool. A countrywide search
of over a year failed to afford any clue
as to the boys fate.
Recently the police received a series of
postal cards telling in detail of the
crime. These cards led to the recovery
of the body, and the arrest Of Hickey at
an inebriate colony at Whiting, n. j. He
made a confession, admitting at the same
time the killing of Edward Morey in
Lowell, Mass, in 1883, by giving him
poisoned whisky, and the strangling to
death of Michael Kruck. q New York

HICKEY IS FOUND GUILTY,
BUT VERDICT D|SPLEASES
Judge Criticises Jury's Finding
of Murder in Second

BUFFALO,, N. Y, December 21.-After
twenty-six hours deliberation the jury
in the case of J. Frank Hickey, on trial
for the murder of seven-year-old Joseph
Joseph of Lackawanna, October IL. 1911,
today brought in a verdict of murder in
the second degree.
Thirteen ballots were taken to decide
Hickey's fate. Twelve resulted, accord

conviction, one for not guilty on the
ground of insanity and one for acquittal.
The thirteenth and last ballot was taken
at $3.50 this afternoon, after the jury had
reported to the court in the morning that
it could not agree. Justice Brown at that
time declined discharge and directed it

was given to drunkenness and to

and Leo VII. elected in his stead. Sub
sequently he got the upper hand. He
seized his antagonists; he cut off the

the tongues Of others. His life was
eventually brought to an end by the
vengeance Of a man whose wife he
had seduced -. Pope John

nose cut off, his tongue torn from his
mouth, and he was sent through the
streets mounted on an ass, with his
face to the tail. Benedict TX, a boy
of less than twelve years of age, was
raised to the apostolic throne One
of his successors, Victor III, de-
clared that the life Of Benedict was
SO shameful SO foul, so execrable,
that he shuddered to describe it. He
ruled like a captain of banditti. The
people, unable to bear longer his
adulteries, his homicides and his
denominations, rose against him, and
in despair of maintaining his posi-

His STORY of France" is one of the
best books extant. 1t is really
history of France. His talents are
great and diversified His genius is
dichotomous, with each division or
species as stalwart as the parent
stem. He is erratic and pyrotechnic,
but fighter from the head of the
creek. He has abused the Demo-
Gratis like pickpockets, and the
Democratic party as everything that
is vile and vicious, and now he
heads the Democratic delegation to
Baltimore. He came back through
his own inherent force, and without
being invited. He came without
apologize recantation or repentance,
and with no pulling palinode or
whining plant or contrite mea max
ina culpa. While he keeps himself
in the limelight his assaults and on
slaughts do not always accomplish
the object of his desires. Some time
ago he began bitter, relentless and
crucifying war on foreign missions,
with the object of destroying them,
and with the result that people be-
came mere liberal and churches and
missionary organizations largely in
creased their appropriations for
these purposes. Later he began a
war on the Roman Catholic Church,
and repeated many old things in a
new and characteristic way, but he
has not as yet put that ancient insti-
tuition out of business. About all
that he will accomplish will be to
shoe the wandering or Indifferent
chickens closer under the lowering
wing of the mother.
Men who intend one thing very
oftentimes accomplish another. 1t is
doubtful if any force ever expended
itself on this continent that did more
for religion than did Bob Ingersol
by fighting it.
Watson is said to have included
some obscene matter in his Magazine
and sent it through the mails, for
which Uncle Sam is about to call him
to account, but we insist that there
should be special law for Tom, be-
cause he is a greater entertainer and
his ebullitions are harmless.-Mem-

TOM WATSON.

1t is impossible to withhold
modicum of admiration for Tom
Watson, Of Georgia. It is unques-
tionably due him. He has honestly
earned it. Say what we will about
him, he keeps people awake and
stirring. He has always been
noise-maker. He is militant, and
his militancy is congenital. AS they
say in Georgia, ''he was horned with
it, Like Hercules, he began
strangling serpents in his cradle and
he has kept it up ever since. Had
he been present on the eventful oc-
casiOn, LAGOON, the Trojan priest,
and his two sons would have es-
capped the wrath of Poseidon Had
Tom been On the ground he would
have crushed the heads of these
"sarpints" or driven them back into
their native waters. The world
would have been denied some great
statuary, and Virgil's Aeneid would
have been deprived CT some lumi-
nous passages, but Tom would have
been greater hero. His career
has been varied and full of incident.
Born and reared a Democrat, he was
elected to Congress as Democrat,
c14AO w 1lIG I1ClG US16DOISu LnS ne
publican party until it looked like it
had passed through a mangle. He
was still killing snakes, but he found
that there were too many friends of
the snakes in the Democratic party
in Congress, and he quit it sum-
marily. Thinking that he had found
men after his own heart, he joined
the Farmers Alliance, and became
leader in that organization. Being a
lawyer was an impeachment to his af-
filiating with this organization, and,
to open the way to himself, he tore
up his law license, quit the law bust
ness and made funeral pyre of his
law books, on whirh he sacrificed all
his ambitions for Supreme Court
honors. In passing, it may be obs
served that if all other lawyers
would emulate his example in this
respect it would be better for the
world. If we had less law and fewer
law books we might get more JUS
tice. But this is neither here nor
there, and Tom is both here and
there.
Watson is a picturesque person
atty He possesses unusual ability,
is a ripe scholar and is endowed with
rare native eloquence. What is UNI
usual, he is also trenchant writer.
