COUNSEL FOR HICKEY
MAY PLEAD INSANITY

BUFFALO, n. Y, Dec. ia Jury
wac secured today to try j. Frank
Hickey. murderer OF Iittl. Joseph JOS
ephs. OF Lackawanna, and several wit
nesses testified.
Evidence introduced by the prosecu-
ton to show that Hickey was the
murderer went unchallenged by the
prisoners counsel, but when any tes-
timony was given tending to show
that Hickey was of absolute habits his
attorneys seized upon 1t, evidently with
the intention OF impressing upon the
Jury tho idea that Hickey's manner
OF living had resulted in his insanity.

CHEAPER GAS MUST

DECLARES COUNCIL WILL
ACT IN MATTER.

NOW IN POSITION TO LOWER PRICE
AND THEN MAKE BIG I'M
PRoVEMENTs TO PLANT.

White the council committee on
finance has called a meeting Of that
body for Monday night 10 hear IN
terested parties on the proposition
OF reducing tho price or gas, II Is
hardly likely that any members Of
the light committee viii appear be
fore the body at that time.
We have presented our case 20 the
finance committee" said Alderman
Powers last night We have studied
the question fully We know the
condition OF the gas department, and
We know that the financial condition
OF that department warrants a re-
ductiOn in the price to the pub
lie,
The public knows nothing about
the condition OF the department.
They cannot say anything to the a.
nance committee. The entire pub
lie would like TO have a reduction
Ia the price OF gas. They are not
coming before council TO Ray 80, any
more than they would eongregate In
q store to demand a reduction in
something the store has 10 offer.
Familiar With Case.
Our committee and our superin-
tendent have studied every phase OF
the question. We know. The finance
committee knows no more about the
workings of the gas department rhs n
they do about the James river, What
we have told them should convince
them that We know what We are
talking about and what the people
should receive,
The fact that the department
ants ali appropriation for improve
wants an appropriation .or improve
price OF gar Our department has
been contributing to the Golfers Of
the city for years. and any appro-
priation for the improvements should
be given gracefully ON account OF past
performances, and on account of tks
good that the department has done
the city, and expects to continue TO
do. - f.+'e'-s''
Absurd Excuse.
That excuse for not reducing the
price of gas sounds absurd to me,
because I know the men on the A.
nance COMMITTEES and I do nor be-
iieve they seriously figure in this par
ucular transaction. so far as II has
any bearing on the proposed reduc-
ton.
IF we appropriate for improve

FORAKER DEFENDS
HIS PUBLIC LIFE

tCoutinued from First page)
why Archbold was Interested in Ohio
journalism, or in having Foraker enter
It. He paid the money back after
Mark Hanna bought The paper in ques-
zion from him.
Foraker attempted 30 show that he
was not in the employ Of the stand
ard oil company after he had been
elected to the s1halo y quoting a let
Ter written from Afrbbold to himself
in May. 1896, in which Archbold Of
fered him u retainer With this he
produced what he said was his own
reply, declining IT,
differences UnjustiGed.
Foraker began by reading extracts
from Hearst's Masazine. following
with a quotation from the Archbold
letter OF 1909. in which the standard
Oll man expressed his opposition TO
At Eli to amend tha interstate com
rnerce statutes, Foraker said he
would shaw later that the differences
drawn by Mr., Hearst regarding this
letter were CARRIED and unjusti
ncd.'
Reverting to the letter Mr.. Hearst
read at Columbus, 20 which Archbold
asked Foraker To support Judge
Burkett for renom nation. Foraker
said:
"Burkett and / were lifelong
friends, l would have supported him
II Archbold had not written"
As 10 the Archbold request that
Foraker oppose Smith Bennett for
attorney general. the ex-senator ga Id:
~ did not oppose him. / supported
him"
Another charge made by the pub
licatton Of the letters involve
Foraker in the defeat Of two bills
introduced by Aaron Price IN the
Ohio legislature. for the taxation or
Ohio corporations. Foraker said that
he was I'm full accord with Hanna
In opposition to the measure, but he
took no part in opposing the Price
bills
II want 10 60 into some of these
things" continued Foraker, because
Mr. Hearst has charged that I repre-
scented the interests and that I have
been lobbying, The only time | ever
appeared before legislative commit
tees In Ohio was at their request,
and II was to argue the Rogers street

argument openly and other Cincinnati
