felt hat.
To-day it was learned by City De-

this interesting bit OF evidence, which
of itself is deemed sufficient TO send
Smith to the electric chair
According TO the story told by Mrs.
Miller. Mrs. Albright bought the green
felt hat for her son in Baltimore. Be-
fore she sent it to him, however. some
quarrel arose between the aged woman
and the sons wife. SO the hat was
never sent. For six months it hung
on nail in Mrs. Albrights little home
on the Hill.
Then came the night when the aged
woman was found murdered. Behind
lounge was found dirty old slouch
hat. Several. days ago neigh bors of
Mrs. Albright declared this SLOUGH hat
was worn by Smith before the murder.
But it was not until to-day that it
was learned that Country" evidently
grabbed the telltale green felt hat
from off it's hook in his hurry to get
away.

Joseph Reinach, the political writer,
in an article in the Figaro comments
at length on President Wilson's mes
sage to Congress. He declares that
the message was animated by right
eous anger although not altogether
free from metaphysics. 1t is evident
says NJ. Reinach, that the President
was moved to the deepest indignation
by the revelations in the trial of the
Hamburg American Steamship Line
on charge of conspiring to defraud
the government.
"The more one reflects" says
NJ. Reinacb, 'the more one is
convinced that the economic and
political absorption OF America is
one of the great secret designs of
the German empire and that con-
sequently nothing is more in
eyitable than an eventual con-
fiict between Germany and the
United States. Such a war is
written in the great book of
destiny. None can cffacc the
writing. Human nature is not
absolute. II is limited by nature
and the logic of things. It is for
America to decide whether to let
Germany choose the hour or
choose it herself"
Most of the other newspapers refer
to the message with approval.

Representatives of six religious de-
nominations who Today petitioned the

pendants OF railroad employees, con-

men, and were told by Chairman
Ainey that it was a matter OF interpre-
tation OF the law and that the appli-
cation would be given thorough con-
sideration.
What was intended to be short
hearing lasted considerably over all
hour and the standpoint of the clergy
men was presented in formal petit
ton and supported by extended argu-
ments. The Rev. j. E. Murphy, of
Bristol, representing Catholic clergy
men, who made the principal argu-
ment, stated that the term pass meant
free transportation and not a discount
such as had been allowed TO clergy
men in the past The railroads, he
contended, were allowed to grant con-
cessions for large numbers of per-
sons for excursions and the like and
the clergymen were really diScrimi-
mated against in his opinion. In al
lowing favors to families of railroad
men, police and firemen, said he, the
commission had gone according to the
spirit of the law but in dealing with
the clergy had adhered to the letter.
Commissioner Pennypacker called
attention TO the fact that he had draft
ed a bill which had passed the legis-
lature which would have enabled rail-
roads to grant clerical rates, but Fr.
Murphy said the Governor had vetoed
1t because the attorney general held it
unconstitutional, although personally
favoring it. FIR. Murphy then said
that merchants gave clerical discounts
and the custom had never been at
tackled.
Declare Rule Discriminatcs
Bishop j. H. Darlington, of the
Episcopal diocese of Harrisburg de-
clared the Interpretation of the law a
discrimination against the clergy and
pointed out that it was preventing
small charges, wide apart, from hav-
Ing services of ministers. The Revs.
C. A. Hare, representing Baptists; e.
A. Pyles, Methodists, and Harvey
Klaer. Presbyterians, and Rabbi
Charles Freund. also spoke. Bishop
Darlington closed the discussion by
saying that merchants of this State
were suffering because ministers could
buy in other States cheaper than in
Pennsylvania cities and said that some
of them were asked to buy on COM
missions when they went from small
towns to the cities.
In addition to the speakers there
were present the Revs. S. Winfield
Herman, Lutherans; w. S. Booth,
Baptists; G. b. Segelken Presbyter-
ians; DR.. John D. Fox, j. d. w. De-
