question before the Senate as soon as II
resumes consideration OF the agricultural
appropriation bill tomorrow.
The amendment to repeal the day
light saving law was reached by the
Senate during its consideration of the

fight was on. The chamber was nearly
deserted and there was n general desire
for adjournment. Mr. La Toilette

which would make the measure take
effect at once instead of at the end of
the present summer. 1t was apparent
that a vigorous night and considerable
debate was ahead. and on motion of Mr.
Curtis (Kan.) executive session was
voted. leaving the daylight saving propo-

incidentally Mr.. Curtis, Republican

DAVID SCHWARTZ CITED FOR
BRAVERY.

A former Minneapolis boy has re-
ceived two citations for extraordinary
heroism and bravery while under fire.
Private David Schwartz, of Golden VAL
ley, North Dakota, formerly of this city
but now member of Company A, 358th
Infantry, Nineteenth division of the A.
E. F., volunteered with another private
to deliver message under heavy bar
rage of fire to the American commander.
They were successful, after several run
ners had been killed in the attempt to
get back to the American lines, and thus
saved the position for the Americans.
Some time later, while participating in
the Argonne forest, he and companion
withstood the continuous fire Of the Ger
mans, and kept continuous outlook on
the enemy's lines. In letter recently
received by friend Of his he says: "At
one particular time, while manning an
observation post in the Argonne, it was
necessary to look upon pierced bodies.
Even the men in charge Of burial were
themselves victims of shell fire, but such
is the fortune Of war;" Mr.. Schwartz is
a graduate of the University Of Mime
sofa. He moved to Golden Valley, where
he took up the practice of law. At pres
ent he is stationed in Daun, Germany,
and is billeted in the former crown
princes residence.

the stand and Miller temporarily

they returned to the street, Miller

Kept Still About Gun.
Sullivan identified the gun he
said Miller gave to him the night
of the shooting of Schaul. He said
it had been in the drawer in which
he placed it that night. Upon cross
examination he said the gun was
fully loaded when he received it,
but that he took the shells out soon
after Miller gave it to him
Sullivan said he did not tell any
of the officers that he had Miller's
gun, and said that he told one of
Miller's attorneys only a week ago.

three years, yet the first action you

Without further attempt to shake
his testimony the state excused the
witness.
Thus far during the progress of
the trial the two witnesses first
claimed by the defense as being
available, Eddie Webster of Los
Angeles, Cal, and Frank Johnson,
thought to be of Peoria, have not
put in their appearance.
When court adjourned this noon
a witness, Ray BRAKEMAN, arrested
here by federal officers on vice
charges and who was confined in
the county Jail with Miller, was
being expected mOmentarily. He Is
coming from Peoria.
With the testimony of BRAKEMAN,
the evidence on both sides will be
practically completed.
Gun Given Away.
Saturday afternoon testimony by
John Sullivan. former Rock Island
policeman, and Arthur Brownlee,
machine operator for the Phelps
Motor company, was introduced TO
show that Miller had given to Sui
livan gun just before he went in
to the Schaul pawnshop.
Brownlee was first on the wit
ness stand He said that about 8
o'clock the Saturday night SchauI
was shot, he entered the 1924
soft drink parlor, and was asked by
Miller to tend bar while he went
out on the street. He said he did
and Miller returned in about 10
minutes.
Miller went out again and return

ed in about the same length of time,
stepping behind the show case and
taking off his coat The witness
said that when he removed his
coat, pint bottle of whisky was
displayed in each hip pocket.
John Sullivan, who tends bar in
the place nights, had just come on
duty and he told Miller to keep his
coat on or he would get the place
in bad, showing the whisky, the
witness said.
Miller then put his coat on, took
a revolver from the right hand side
pocket and handed it to Sullivan,
telling him to keep it for him,
BrOwnlee testified.
Brownlee and Miller went east
on Second avenue and stopped at
the Jones pawnshop, according to
the formers testimony. Miller went

States Attorney Thompson asked.
Sullivan answered in the affirma-
tive.
Robert Cramer, manager Of the
Jones store at 1905 Second avenue
said that Miller came into the place
on the night Schaul was shot and ,
was in there for about two minuts T.
He did not know what he came ID
for.
Attorneys for the defense iudi-
Gated that their purpose in offering
this line of testimony was to show
that Miller gave up his gun before
he went to Schaul's and that he
had a pint bottle Of whisky in each
pocket and could not have carried
a gun in either Of those pockets.
