SCHMIDT'S DEEDS
AS BOY ARE TOLD
Sister Testifies Slayer When Young
Gave Family's Clothes
Away.

New York, Dec. lS.-How Hans
Schmidt, murderer of Anna Aumueller
was accustomed, in his boyhood, to en-
deavor to make all of the poor children
of his neighborhood happy by giving
them clothing and would then go out to
the cemetery and sit on tombstone for
hours in thought, was told by Mrs
Elizabeth Schadler, sister of the priest,
during his trial yesterday.
The defence resumed its introduction
of testimony in an effort to show
Schmidt is insane. Mrs. Schadler said
her brother displayed a peculiar re-
ligious fervorfrom childhood. He set up
miniature altar in the house and OBJ
tanned vestments, which he wore. One
of his greatest delights, she said, was to
watch neighbors kill chickens. He would
play with the blood, she said, and put
the heads in his pockets and carry them
about for days.
Although morose and moody, Mrs.
Schadler said, Schmidt was always ex-
tremely charitable. He was continually
giving away the garments belonging to
others of the household as well as his
own.

AMERICAN GIRL
is NOT A SPY
Italian Government Admits Suspicious
Against Miss Dorothy Macvane
Were Groundless.

Rome, Dec. ls-The Italian govern
ment yesterday assured Ambassador
Thomas Nelson Page that its suspicious
against Miss Dorothy Macvane, formerly
OF Cambridge, Mass, were groundless
and that its surveillance of the opera
prima donna would end Immediately.
Miss Macvane, because she looked at
Italian Notifications and received letters
from a naval officer and diplomat, was
suspected of being a spy. Her sister,
Miss Edith Macyane, complained to Am
bassador Page.
Miss Dorothy Macvane aroused the
suspicious of the naval authorities owing
to her habit of taking long walks in the
country and taking photographs of the
coast, including pictures of what are
said to be masked Notifications. She
was closely watched by detectives who
took rooms at the same hotel at which
she and her maid were stopping, and it
is said her mail was opened and read,
and as her correspondents included many
foreign friends, as well as a Russian
attachee, whom she had met in Rome,
suspicious We're aroused.

Make this Family supply of
Cough syrup at Home
and Save So.

This plan makes a pint of better
made for $3.50. A few doses usually

as it is, no better remedy can be had
at any price.
Mix one pint of granulated sugar with
"a pint OF warm water, and stir Tor
minutes Put 212 ounces of Pinex ttitty
cents, WORTH in q pint bottle; then
add the Sugar Syrup. II has pleasant
taste and lasts a family long time.
Take a teaspoonful every one, two or
three hours.
You can feel this take hold of a cough
in way that means business. Has
good tonic effect, braces up the appetite,
and is slightly laxative, too, which is
helpful. A handy remedy for hoarse-

dent Wilson that there were so
many lobbyists in Washington City
n that one could not throw a brick

That is a pretty grave charge, but it is
true. Why should not the president be

owes not alone to his party, but to the

which called loudly for correction.
Hereafter homeseekers, landseekers and

small measure of protection. Arrange.

local real estate agents, when eastern
