BETHUNE SENTENCED TO DEATH
4 Iith i.mc lie Has Heard Doom Pro-

don Court.

Mann.nH, Jan. 2S.--1hc 5ury in the
case of Glib James, Jr., charged with
murder, this morning returned ver-
dict of not guilty.
julius Hamilton was found guilty
Of obtaining goods by false pretences,
and sentenced TO twelve months at
hard labor.
The jury in the case against julius
Cordos, indicted for assault and bat
terry with intent TO Kill, went in the
room on the adjournment Of court to-
day, with instructions 10 return a
sealed verdict tomorrow morning.
Willie Bcthune, convicted for the
murder OF q. l.. Minis in 1903, was
today brought back for resentence,
and for the fifth time heard his death
sentence pronounced Bethune was
tried in June, 1909, for murder, and
convicted. An appeal was taken, but
the lower court affirmed. When call
ed for resentence he intcrposeI the
plea Of insanity as a reason why he
should not be resentenced. \ Jury
was empannelled to try this issue.
and the jury found that he was sane.
An appeal was taken from this ver-
dict, as he was at thai term re-
sentenced. His judgment was affirm
ed by the supreme Court on appeal.
Then motion was made for a new
trial on after discover evidence
which was refused, and again an ap-
peal taken. This was also affirmed
by the Supreme Court, and then ap-
plicatiOn for a writ Of error sought 10
the United States Supreme Court,
which was refused by that tribunal
Now Willie today again appears, and
on being resentenced, be makes a
motion in arrest Of judgment, on the
grounds that he cannot now be hang
ed, as the law was, when the crime
was committed for which he was con-
victed, death 10y hanging; that now
the penalty Of death by electrocution,
and that as to him the new law is an
eX post facto law, and that he connot
therefore, be sentenced to electrocu-
tion. The position taken is that he
can 5c sentenced TO neither death by
hanging nor death by electrocution, on
the grounds that death by hanging
has been entirely abolished by the Act
Of 1912, and that ne cannot be cleo
trocuted, as that form Of death has
been established since his trial and
conviction, and that, by the Act Of
1912, all Acts or parts of Acts incon-
sistent with that Act are thereby re-
pealed, and that as to his case, the
Act Of 1912 is eX post facto law, and,
therefore, in Violation of both the
state and Federal Constitutions This
motion was overruled by Judge Gary,
and an appeal Immediately taken to
the supreme Court. The new day Of
execution for the sentence was fixed
for February 2S, next.

ATTACKS ON SCHEDULE K.
PRoTECrIoNIsTs RALLY TO DE
FENSE OF WOOL RATES.
Make Their Hardest fright, Apparent
~ in Vain, for Retention of Heavy
Duties ON Manufacturers.

Washington. Jan. 27.-Protection-
lists and tariff provisionists had "a run
ming fire In the house ways and means
committee today which was contin-
ued tonight The wool tariff was the
issue and the manufacturers present
ed almost unbroken alignment
against reduction OF duty on wooden
cloth and ready made clothing.
though fav"ring reduction of the
duty on raw wool.
IL was the most strenuous fight
made at this session of congress
against the Democratic plan for re-
vision of the duties in the coming ex-
ira session.
Your schedule has never been cut
in the memory oi living men," sug-
gested Representative Palmer of
Pennsylvania to o. NJ. stafford. presi-
dent of a Cleveland enterprise. Mr..
Stafford contended that the tariff
could be reduced I'm the event the
Democratic party choose TO take the
responsibility for possible reduc-
tion OF wages OF the wooden mill en-
ployes. The witness testified TO s
per cent dividends from his mill last
year and Representative Harrison of
New York suggested that 1t was rath-
er unbecOming for him in view Of
the big profits of the industry to hold
out a threat OF wage reduction.
Through William Goldman of New
York. its president. the Association
OF Clothiers declared that while free
wool was desirable. it was too revo-
lutionary and it indorsed the pro-
posed Democratic rate OF 20 per cent
al valorem on raw wool.
The National Association of Manu-
faeturers, comprising 100 of the
woolen mills of the country, through
It's president. John +. Wood. OF Phil
adelphia, presented a schedule of
rates as a suggestive proposition. but
/. Mr.. Wood admitted that the schedule
was approximately the same as the
present tarifr law.
The committee showed no signs in
the examination OF changing its ten
tative plan for a revised wooden
schedule along the lines OF the Dem
ocratic bills OF the two previous ses-
sions OF this congress. which provide
fro 20 per cent al valoren on raw
wool and from 25 to so per cent on
ready-made colthing and other arti-
cles.

SUlzER ASSAIlS EXCHANGE.
CALLS FOR LEGAL REMEDY FOR
FINANCIAL ABUSES.
New York Governor SAYS IL l. Plain
Duty of STATE to Take such Steps
As Are Necessary.

Albany, y. y, Jan. 27.-State su-
pervision and regulation of the New
York stock exchange and other stock
exchanges are dNocatcd by Gov.
Sulzer in a message sent by him to
the legislature tonight.
The time is ripe. in the governors
opinion, for the State To end "hagrant
abuses, shifty schemes and clever
combinations to catch the unwary
and to mislead the public
To effect this he recommends the
enactment of group OF laws, at least
one Of which will provide imprison-
ment as a penalty for it's violation
These laws, the governor says, should
apply TO certain practices which have
been shown to exist by the Pujo COM
mittee Of the house of representatives
and other investigators.
The testimony of some of the gov
ernors of the exchanges, Gov. Sulzer
says, "leaves no doubt in the minds of
men Of judgment that the exchanges
have been either incapable or unwill-
ing to devise those measures that will
effectually eradicate the evils.
1T is the obvious duty Of the
State. it seems to me, to devise the
remedies. If the State neglects to do
its plain duty the State should find
no fault if the federal government
acts in the premises"
Among the measures which Gov.
Sulzer would have enacted into law
are:
\ law to distinguish clearly proper
transactions of purchase and sale
from those that are the result of com
binations to raise or depress artif-
cially the price Of securities without
regard 10 their true value or legiti-
mate supply and demand
a law to prohibit brokers from sell
ing backward and forward among
themselves blocks Of a particular
stock with intent to deceive or mis-
lead outsiders.
n law TO prohibit brokers from
calling for their own account the
stocks they have been ordered TO buy
for their customers at the time the
customers orders are executed.
a law clearly prohibiting insolvent
brokers from continuing to buy and
SELL
n law making il a criminal Of
fense Ito issue any statement or pub
lish any advertisement as TO the value
OF any stock or other security. or as
TO the financial condition of any cor
poration or company issuing or about
to issue stock or securities where any
promise or projection contained in
such statement or advertisement is
known 10 be false or To be not fairly
justified by existing conditions.
Gov. Sulzer also recommends the
enactment of new laws governing
short sales, the hypothecation OF Sc
curities, bucketshops, usury, (under
which head he classes the raising of
all money rates 10 more than 6 per
cent? the relations between exchang-
es and the consolidation Of exchang-
es.
