against this feature Of the salary

Aid. Barnett spoke In behalf Of the

that the council was in duty bound to

Congressman Bryan Says Re-

DEMOCRATS ARE WET
FROM PRESIDENT DOWN
"With Prohibition We Car
Clean Out the Whole Bunch"
Declares Scion

WASHINGTON, Dec 30.-That the
Progressive party, with the addition
OF dry plank in its platform, can
win In 1915, is the opinion OF Con
gressman Bryan, OF Washington state.
Bryan, in commenting on the senti'
ment for reunion with the Repub-
lican party, credied to Chairman
Hinebaugh, of the Progressive con
gressional committee, said:
There are several sorts Of reunions
that may be on the board IL this re-
union is to drive out the Republican
party bosses an dthe machine which
dominated things at Chicago In 1912,
and IL we are TO return with battle
axes and baseball bats in our hands
to clean out the Republican party,
II may work out all right. There are
reactionary elements In all parties"
IF we add prohibition to our party
platform In 1915, we can clean out the
whole bunch, because the recent vote
on prohibition In the house showed
that the Republican party is liquor
logged all the way through and the
Democratic party from the president
down IL wet so far as nationwide
prohibition is concerned. The presi
dent, the secretary of state, the ma.
jority leader here, Chairman Doremus
the Democrat congressional commit
tee. anG other leaders, were wet
The Progressive party is for prohibi
tion."
Rep. Cramton, Of Michigan, warmly
indorsed the Hinebaugh view, pub
lished in a Washington paper. and
had it read In the house.

BECKER HEARING
Reading of Confession Shows
Woman Was Not Subjected
to Third Degree"
ADMITS STORY WAS
TOLD VOLUNTARILY Y
Defendant Held For Trial on
Charge of Staying Miss
BOmhOlt

Mrs. Caroline Ernestina Becker, 5S
years old, OF No. 3S Twentieth-st., was
held to the recorders court without
bail by Justice Gainey, late Tuesday
afternoon, on the charge OF killing
Mrs. Frances Bomholt, aged spinster,
Dec. l6, in Miss Bomholts home, No.
27 Austin-st.
The woman's confession, which she
later repudiated, In dramatic scene
In police court, was read by Stenog-
rapher Bertram B. Connolly, and other
witnesses who testified were Charles
Bomholt, Of Nof. 1876 Twentieth-st.,
brother OF the slains woman, who dis
covered her body, kneeling beside the
bed in her room, when ehe went to de-
liver some meat at noon, Dec. II;
County Physician Z. l.. Brandt, who
made the post-mortem examination Of
the body, and Detective John p.
who grilled the woman before she
made her confession to Assistant
Prosecutor Jasnowski
The police court examination eff
fectually spiked the guns of the de-
Tense on the points that were listed
as doubtful, or favorable TO the de-
fense.
Three claims were made. One was
that the confession was dragged from
the woman by rough treatment by the
police, and that she was SO Ill th.s
she confessed to a lie to escape from
their alleged cruel treatment; anoth-
er point was the contention that some
of the wounds on the woman's body
could not have been made by the lump
of coal that Mrs. Becker swore was
the only weapon she used; and the
third was that no trace OF coal par
ticles were found in the wounds.
One after the other these conten-
tions were quietly but effectually I'D
died by the prosecution.
The confession itself, a rambling
yet apparently sane recital of answers
to questions. repudiates the claim that
the woman was subjected to rough
third degree.
After the story of the crime and OF
her every movement was once gone
over, the document. which contained
81 typewriter pages, shows that AS
sistant Prosecutor Jasnowski asked
her:
