of having caused the death of Mrs.
Elsie Lee Hilair, who was found

Two separate complaints were
prepared before the coroner was
convinced there was sufficient evil

holding him even temporarily. The
attorney for the accused urged that
he be sent to the Tombs instead Of
to the second branch detective bu-
reau because, he declared. the police
would not let him sleep and insisted
upon questioning him constantly.
The affidavit charging Sternberg
with the murder of Mrs. Hilair al
legged that witnesses had been found

train at the Grand Central station
on March 3 with a women answer
ing her description: that clothing
similar TO that worn by the woman
seen with the accused had been
found i'm the hotel room occupied by
Mrs. Hilair, that Sternberg had ad-
mitted he met her by appointment
on March Is, and rode with her
from Brooklyn in the subway al

evidence which could not be dis

ANOTHER ATTACK
BY ADVOCATES OF
UNGAGGEp PRESS

Washington, May 12.--Advocates of
an ungagged press laid their lines to-
night against what they termed an lat
tack from another quarter"
The senate today wiped out the gag
ging censorship clause in the Gregory
espionage measureA The house Is ex-
pected to do the same, although only
after a bitter fight, when that clause
comes up for a vote in the lower body.
The senate vote was 80 to S8,
The latest administration measure to
be subject of attack by the unmuzzIed
press advocates. Is tina. provision in
the governments S1.S0O,00o 20: war re-
venuc measure which would increase
the Portage rate Of second class mail
matter from l to cents, and would
also apply a zone system"
WOULD BE PROHIBiTlVE.
Enemies of the provision say appli-
cation of both suggested plans would
practically increase the cost of carry
ing printed matter from / to cents
per pound. They say such a tax would
be strictly p-ohibitivc;" this t 1t would
tend practically to stifle existence OF
small newspapers and labor publica-
tions that have got the financial back
ing of larger contemporaries.
Those senators who fought success
fully against the Gregory press muzzl-
ing resolution of the attorney generals
espionage bill, said tonight they would
as vigorously battle against the press
gagging clause in the revenue meas
ure.
