JURY DEBATING FATE
OF ELLIS, WIFE SLAYER
Assistant States Attorney Attacks
Defense's Plea of Insanity in
Final Argument.

CHICAGO, March 5.-William Cheney
Ellis, the wealthy Cincinnati manu-
facturer who is on trial charged with
having murdered his wife IN a Chicago
hotel last October, will probably know
his fate before night.
Stephen A. Malato, assistant states
attorney, made the closing arguments
for the prosecution at the opening of
the court today. Counsel for Ellis com
pleted their arguments last night at a
special session Of court.
Desire to hear the final arraignment
of Ellis caused the corridors leading to
the courtroom today to be packed with
a throng whfchasincluded a large per-
centage of fashfonab1y dressed women.
Every seat in the courtroom was taken
as Malato began his last attack on the
defense's insanity, plea = at.
Six forms of verdict were prepared to
be given to the Jury when it retired.
Malato's final address was brief. He
closed with a final demand that the
death penalty be inflicted on Ellis, who,
he argued, was fully responsible when
he killed Mrs. Ellis.
Judge Petit then instructed the jury,
which retired shortly before noon.

ADVANCE IN RATES
OPPOSED AT HEARING
Protests Also Filed With Commits
sion by Norfolk Growers
and Shippers.

At the advance rate hearing before the
Interstate commerce commission today,
George E. Pierce, representing the corn
stated that the freight rates on ex-lake
grain from Buffalo to eastern destinations
had been increased more than 100 per
cent since 1898. and that the all-rail rates
from Chicago to the east had been de-
creased, during the same period, about
% per cent. He was opposed to the pro-
posed advance SO long as the present ad-
justment of grain rates between Buffalo
and Chicago was maintained. as 1t de-
tracted from the Importance of Buffalo as
grain center.
TIE Toledo (Ohio) Produce Exchange
did not oppose the suggested advance IN
rates, but insisted that, whatever the
rates were, Toledo should be accorded
rates equivalent to IS per cent of the
New York-Chicago rates.
E. r. T. Wells and J. o. Reed Of Nor
folk, the latter speaking for the Norfolk
protests with the interstate commerce
commission against the proposed per
cent advance in freight rates. Testimony
they introduced indicated that the pres
ent cost of producing garden products,
with incidental charges for Grating and
hauling, was so high that any increase
in freight rates would be disastrous to
growers.
A. w. Lyman, representing fishermen of
Ocean City, Md, and vicinity. urged that
existing freight and express rates for
the transportation of fresh fish were toe
high and that the shippers could not
stand an increase.

ATTITUDE Of RAILROADS
. ON D|RECTORATES GIVEN
L. F. Loree Points Out Possible Dis
advantages Of Restrictive
Legislation.

The attitude of the railroads against
any restriction of common directorates
was outlined at hearing OF l.. r. Loree
Of New York, president Of the Delaware
and Hudson Company and executive OF
other railroad enterprises. before the
House committee on judiciary today. He
characterized the directorate boards as
1.-The nexus between the multitude OF
corporate owners and corporate prop
erty, the sole means by which the former
exercises over the latter the ordinary
rights of ownership"
He argued that any curtailment OF or
binary rights of corporate owners freeiy
to choose their directors and to vote Tor
those they wish to represent them re-
stricts the power of the owners TO con-
tro the property, reduces the atr ,s.,i e,
ness Of he Investment, impairs ability to
obtain needed capital and may seriously
cripple the industry affected.
Sounds Warning Note.
Mr.. Loree sounded a note Of warning
particularly against the effect OF any
restrictive legislation upon foreign invest
ments in American enterprises.
He said the United States is not yet
free from the need Of resorting to Tor
eign money markets to secure capital IN
excess of what their own citizens are
able to furnish, and that appeals for
foreign support have to be made through
persons In the confidence Of the foreign
investors or bankers, those Americans
enjoying such confidence being largely
restricted in number.
IL" he said, 1.-The individuals who
hitherto have represented foreign In
vestors on two or more directorates are
FORBIDDEN to continue their services the
Investors are likely to feel that their
ownership rights have been tnfringed
and to withhold further capital and
possibly withdraw much already in

UPHOLD US. HONOR,
PRESIDENT PLEADS
sition on the question has been In doubt,
declined to discuss the message
Address Brings Favorable Comment.

The Presidents address was the subject
Of favorable comment by many members
Of the Senate this afternoon. 1t was
generally conceded that the Senate would
back up the President In his demand that
the clause be repealed. In fact. one demo-
cratic senator hazarded the prophecy tnat
not more than dozen votes would be
cast against the repeal, when the PROPOSE
ton actually comes to a vote.
Senator Simmons of North Carolina,
chairman of the finance committee, said
he thought the message admirably ex-
pressed the situation. He added that he
considered the imposition of tolls a mat
ter of policy rather than one of prin-
ciple, and that If the exemption OF
American coastwise vessels from pay
ment of tolls confiicted with the foreign
policy of the United States the eX-
emption should cease.
Senators OGorman of New York,
Chamberlain of oregon. Clapp of Mime
sofa and others who have opposed the
repeal of the exemption clause re-
iterated their determination to fight
such a move.
