Moore Is Found
Guilty by Jury
OF Manslaughter
Verdict Reached Aftar Five
Hours Deliberation; Pen
atty is One to Ten
Years.

George Moore was found guilty Of
manslaughter by jury in Judge Gull
lson's court last night after deliber-
ating FIVE hours. The jury went out
yesterday afternoon at 4.
Moore was charged with first de-
gree murder in connection with the
part he played in the police raid and
gun battle at the Lena Schneider
farm last October.
Monday was devoted to the argu-
ments of the attorneys. All OF the
evidence and the arguments following
very closely the lines in the Eva
King case.
Instruction Not Long.
Judge Cullison's Instructions, while
not so lengthy as in the King case,
laid greater stress upon the presence
of the accused in the bandit cottage
and the evident purpose of the mem-
bers of the desperate gang making
the cottage their headquarters, the
court holding that it need not be
shown that Moore actually took part
in the murder of Robert Murray to
warrant a first degree murder ver-
dict.
Mrs. Schneider Present.
Mrs. Lena Schneider, owner of the
bandit farm, spent the day in court.
She appeared to manifest more in
terest in Moore than in either Bulls
or Mrs. King.
The refusal of Moore's counsel to
put their client on the stand was re-
GREETED by the state, for it would
have given County Attorney Swan
son the opportunity to show that
Moore is a habitual criminal, with
five prison terms in his record When
questioned by County Attorney
Swanson and others after his arrest
here Moore frankly stated that it
had been SO long since he used his
real name that he had actually for
gotten what it was. While still a
boy he served a term in reforma-
tory. 1t has been learned that he is
a native of Kentucky, but facts con-
cerning his family are not known
here.

Shipping Experts
May Recommend
Remuneration
Scale of Rates Based OH
Speed, Distance and Ton
mage of U. S. Vessels
Expected in Report.

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire
Washington, Dec. 26.-Members OF
the shipping board and the experts
associated with them in the formu-
lation of program for the aid of the
American merchant marine probably
will recommend to President Hard
ing the determination of the amount
of remuneration to be paid to Ameri-
can ships by differential based on a
combination of speed, tonnage and
distance covered.
This plan is the third of three al
ternatives suggested in the prelimin-
airy report Of the experts presented
tc the board during the last week.
The preliminary report stated tlas
majority of the committee favored
d differential based on a percentage
of the pay roll. This was the first
OF the three alternatives enumerated,
the second in the list being differ
entail based on gross tons.
To Work Out New Plan.
Following the conferences between
the experts and members of the
board, the sentiment has turned
against the use of the first plan. In
revising the plan for submission to
the conference scheduled for jana
ary 5, the experts intend to work out
the third plan in greater detail.
The plan which is given prefer
ence provides for the, payment to
an American ship of certain num-
Der of cents per gross ton for each
100 miles steamed in the foreign
trade. For speeds up to IA knots
this rate is constant, beyond that
point it varies with the square of
the speed. 1t is proposed to increase
the rate in this manner in order to
place a premium ON speed. This is
to compensate for the greatly In
creased cost OF operation of the high
speed vessels suitable for carrying
the mails iii time of peace or for
use as naval auxiliaries in time of
war.
Plan Simple.
In behalf of this plan it is claimed
that it is logieal and simple and
would encourage the building and
maintaining of vessels suited for use
as naval auxiiaries. A separate
postal subvention would be unneces-
sary under this scheme, such as pro-
posed if other methods OF determin-
ing the differential were employed.
The funds would come out of 10
per cent of the customs receipts.
The rate of remuneration under the
differentiai based OH speed, tonnage
and distance covered would be such
as would provide for the payment to
American ships annually OF approxi-
mately $18,7s0,000 to make up for
the difference in operating costs OF
American and British ships, plus
S8,000,000 which the Postoffice de
partment considers sufficient for en-
couraging the construction and in
suring the operation of sufficient
number of passenger vessels OF size
and speed suitable for carrying mail.
