Louisiana and North Dakota Senator's
Make Interesting Speeches.
WASHINGTON. July 81. - Senator
Thorn.ou, denocrat, of Louisiana,
who will vote against the tariff bill
because of free sugar, delivered today
Al impsssioned denunciation of his
psrty's determin alton to put sugar on
the free list in 1915. His was the drst
speech from within the democratic
party attacking the bill since 1t VAS
reported to the eenate.
Senator Thornton quoted from .
report Of the democratic minority Of
the senate on the free sugar bill In
July, 1912, which maintained that put
ting sugar on the free list WAS mot

Senator Gronua, progressive republi.
can Of North Dakota, attacked the
measure in the tariff discussion In the
sens today.
Senator Gronna declared that In

democratic found themselves in the
difaouls position of having two sets

other, "ustng the one or the other %
the occasion might seem to demand,

then the tariff on those products gives

producer is benefited by it.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-Reductions
In express rates which will cost the
companies fully s2e, ,00o,o q year,
approximately 16 per cent OF their
gross revenue, were ordered BY the
interstate commerce commission today
to become effective on or before Octo-

The most important change pre-
scribed by the order 10 by way Of
modification of the present graduated
scale Of parcel rates. One hundred
pound rates for short distances either
have been left unchanged or slightly
reduced; for longer distances they
have been lowered. For so pounds or

1000 the new express rates are gen.
orally lower than the parcel post

rates are practically the same.
The express companies had filed
statements indicating that the loss OF
revenue under the proposed rate
would be intolerable, and argued

With no show of emotion beyond
WEAKNESS which has left it's trace in
his eyes and about his mouth,
Schmidt informed the detectives that
he had planned wholesale slaughter
of Gods afflicted, the cripples, those
with incurable ailments and all who
found life burden. He proposed to
execute them by shooting, poisoning
or dissection, which he declared is
the easiest form of death. He said
he wanted to accommodate all who
wanted to die yet were too cowardly
to seek their own destruction.
When confronted with the blank
death certificates, Schmidt did not
seem at all disconnected. He said he
had intended to use them in dispos-
ing of the body of Anna Aumuller
and then it occurred to him that his
sacrifice was not complete without
the water, and so he placed the por-
tons of her body in the river.
Informed that his aged mother in
Germany is grief stricken, he dis

ment He is fully convinced that the
murderer planned his insanity alibi
even before he murdered Anna Au-
muller, and that he has rehearsed
each phase of it. That the murder
of the girl was premeditated is
proven by Schmidt's assertion that
he got the death certificates SO he
could properly bury her.
The Scotland Yard detectives de-
clare that Hans Schmidt was arrest
ed in 1902 as the central figure in a
sensational forgery of $25O,OO0
worth of notes so cleverly executed
that the cashiers of the Bank of Eng
land did not discover them.
In Schmidt's secret workroom a
complete plant was found, installed
at a cost of more than $1,000.
Schmidt consented to turn kings
evidence against three receivers,
named Phillip Bernstein, Solomon
and William Barmagh, and though at
the time he had notes in circulation
valued at a quarter of million dol
lars, his offer was accepted and the
three receivers were convicted, while
he was sent away from England and
last heard of in New York
Schmidt's professed, desire to do
away with what he called the red
tape of indictment and trial, and to
go to the electric chair at once, is
impossible of fulfllment, because of
the New York state law.
To plead guilty to murder in the
first degree, where death is the pen \
atty, amounts to suicide and the laws
of New York state prohibit suicide
and provide punishment for its at
tempt.
