EndIe.. Chain Started


AS feature of their campaign,
the sugar planters of Louisiana
started an endless chain system of
letters and kilograms. Judge Cod
chaux, owner of three Louisiana
sugar factories, testified;
"We had our customers in Louis
lana to request their customers
throughout the country to write and
wire their Senators to vote against
free sugar. The endless chain was
meant to be spread broadcast. We
hoped to reach every line of indus
try in the United States. We asked
those people to use their influence
in preventing the passage of free
sugar BILL"
An illustration, calculated to show
that the endless chain system was
lobbying was given by Senator
Reed of Missouri, a member of the
Investigating Committee, while tes-
ti6ying. He received many tele-
grams from mule dealers in Mis-
souri, about the sugar schedule. He
found they were inspired, by the
sugar planters to whom the Mis-
sourians sold mules.
A literally financed lobby from
the Hawaiian Islands has been re-
vealed. It's chief. Sidney Ballou,
who has been in Washington two
years as the general representative
of the Hawaiian Sugar Planters AS
ISOLATION, admitted his business
here. He gave his salary as $I2-
900 year, with S., 900 additional
for expenses.

SCHMIDT FROM
PEN DECLARES
he WAS SANE
BY The United Press.


NEW YORK, Dec. 16-Leaping to
his feet, his eyes swapping defiance
to the Court, the jury and his counsel.
Hans Schmidt protested that he was
sane today when Judge OlcOtt, attor-
ney for the defense. began his address
to the jury in the trial Of the priest
murderer for the killing Of Anna Au-
mueller
Il will show you" said Olcott, that
Schmidt was mentally unbalanced and
legally insane years ago"
Schmidt was sitting with his head
bowed and his eyes looking only upon
the table in front of him. AT this
remark, however, he jumped to his
feet.
THAT is not true. / protest against
that" he shouted. With his tangled
beard and tousled hair, Schmidt pre-
scented wild appearance as he shook
his fist at the attorney Court at
ltaches forced him back into his chair.
He mumbled for a time to himself,
but permitted Olcott to finish his ad-
dress uninterrupted.
The State rested it's case at loon.
The defense started the introduction
of testimony this afternoon. In his
opening address. y-dge Olcott said he
would show that Schmidt developed
traits of insanity in his early boyhood.
He believed he was born of his moth
er and John the Baptist, and said
Judge Olcott:
IF you will recall your Holy Writ,
you may remember that John the Bap-
tist was the cousin of Christ. Schmidt
believed that his admission to priest
hood was directly due TO St. Eliza
beth. His mind was in a constant
state OF turmoil. 1t was marked by
iviciousness. and his crimes were OBJ
noNious to all moral laws. He has
been guilty OF acts showing a strange
inversion Of facts than ever developed
! in the Jekyl-Hyde stories"

Before Chancellor Curtis today Rob
ert H. Richards. representing George

tees, asked for an order Of sale Of
the property of the Diamond state
Steel Company. Robert G. Harman.
representing John B. Newkirk and
others of Philadelphia, said his clients
were willing for the sale but felt It
best TO postpone the sale for some
months. Mr.. Harman said that his
clients desired the plant sold as a
running concern.
Mr. Richards replied that all per

ent II is question OF necessity and
not one OF expediency on the part OF
the trustees when II is requiring near

Mr. Richards said that Judge McPher'

sale because individual lots were sold
before the plant and ground. Consider

George w. Todd suggested that the sale
should not take place until the middle
or April and believed each machine
should be sold separately.
George S. Capelle, one OF the trustees
objected TO waiting because $4,000 j.
owed now for expenses. To wait until
April meant $1,000 additional expense
he said, and the trustees felt that thi
plant should be sold.

separate internal revenue districts and
shall do all IN my power to advance
the matter in the Senate" said Senator
Salisbury today, in Washington. For a
lonp time / have stood for such plan
as provided in the bill introduced IN the
house by Representative Covington OF
Maryland.
"At present Delaware is in the In

The Coyington bill now pending

to create new internal revenue col-

deemed necessary. Under this plan
President Wilson could divide the
Maryland district into two units, each
| TO have its own collector and organ

State getting a share OF the patron
