SENATE "TO ME INITIATIVE
Will Likely be Given First Chance at
Framing Tariff Bills for the Wil
son Administration Con
ference Today.
Washington, Nov. 29. How to dis
pose of one billion dollars' worth of
annual appropriation bills and tran
suet other general legislation in 26
days is the problem worrying Speaker
Champ Clark and assistant managers
of, the House of Representatives. Re
publican Leader James R. Mann, just
buck from Panama, dropped in today
io discuss with the Speaker prospects
lor the three months' session.
"We did not make any plans for
the session," said Mr. Mann later.
Speaker ClarR agreed that no plans
for the future had been considered.
Senators and Representatives pour
ed into Washington today from all di
rections. Senator Gallinger, the Re
publican nominee for the office of
President pro tempore of the Senate,
is expected tomorrow and a Republi
can Senatorial caucus probably will
be. held soon after his arrival to deter
mine whether . the New Hampshire
Senator shall be continued as the nom
inee or some one else chosen for the
honor.
In case a caucus is held there will
be more interest in the personnel of
its membership than in the subject of
discussion. ,
Senator Bacon, .now the temporary
presiding officer of the Senate, has
;aKen up with returning Senators the
question of procedure for next Mon
day. It is believed, that after conven
ing the Senate will be officially In
lormed first of the death of Senators
Unburn and Rayner and that Sen
ator Root then will officially announce
th- death of Vice "President Sherman
aiid present a ' resolution for imme-'
diate adjournment.
Confer With Underwood Today.
Representative Oscar W. Under
wood. Democratic tariff leader of th'e
House, when he begins tomorrow his
route rences with House associates
o er the plans for tariff revision next
Spring, will be met with a suggestion
from Senate Democrats that the Sen
ate be given a first hand chance at the
framing of the tariff bills for the Wil
son administration.
A plan for co-operation 'between the
Democrats of the two houses, long ad
vocated by Senator Hoke Smith, of
Borgia, has been having attention
from incoming members, and has se
cured considerable support. Demo
' :aric members of the Senate Finance
Committee are urging that body and
tli' House Ways and Means Commit
tee be converted, informally, into a
joint body; and that the two houses
work in harmony on the tariff legisla
tion. Representative Underwood's arrival
in Washington tonight will bring tariff
ivans to the front. Members of the
Ways and Means Committee have
been urged by the chairman to with
hold expression of opinions, but many
of them have publicly declared in fa-
r of a revision of the tariff schedule
by schedule, the plan that will be' fa
vored, it is believed, by Chairman Un-d-nvood.
Reform in Fiscal Scheme.
A revolutionary reform in the fiscal
scheme of the government, so far as
h provision of funds for govern
mental expenditures is concerned, is
projected in a resolution to be pres
"d in the House at the coming ses
sion by Representative Sherley, of
Kentucky, third ranking Democrat on
''i House Appropriations Committee.
H:p resolution, introduced at the last
ssion. contemplates the creation of
a budget commission in the House, to
1 ;ie jurisdiction over all estimates
or annual expenses and allot to the
Various appropriations of the House
' amounts available for the various
i ranches of the government service.
Kvery effort will be made to have
' ''-- measure operative with the ad
1 if of the new Democratic adminis-:-arion,
Mr. Sherley said today.
The resolution will run counter to
'i!" budget proposals of President
T;m. which will be submitted to Con--'ss
in a special message just before
Christmas holidays. The Presi-
iu contemplates a general budget
v h'Mi e by which the estimates of the
arious departments for expenditures
iil be submitted to the House in bulk.

Buffalo, N. Y., Nov. 29 The acci
dental killing jf a man in Lowell, Mas
sachusetts, 20 years ago was given to
night by John Frank Hickey in
signed confession a's the starting point
of a career of debauchery and crime,
during which' he murdered two boys
and assaulted many others. Hickey's
victims, according to his confession,
were Ed. Morey, of Lowell, Mass.,
poisoned with laudanum over 20 years
ago, Michael Kruck, 12 years old, a
New York newsboy, strangled in Cen
tral Park in 1902, and Joseph Josephs,
the 7-year old son of George Josephs,
a merchant -of Lackawanna, killed in
a similar manner October 12th, 1911.
"The details of Hickey's last two
crimes are too revolting to make pub
lic," said District Attorney Dudley.
Hickey apparently is a man with a
dual personality. He is intelligent.
He is now overcome with remorse and
says again and again that he cant
comprehend what possessed him to
commit tne crimes. He asserts that
he became a maniac only when filled
with whiskey. Hickey's full confe3
sion came after a series of admis
sions made to District Attorney Dud
ley and Police Chief Gilson. of Lacka
wanna, that began Wednesday when
the two officials left New York for
Buffalo with their prisoner.
Today Hictkey agreed to sign a con
fession and was taken to the district
attorney's office through the tunnel
connecting the county jail and the city
hall, used today for the first time since
Czolgosz was taken through it after
being sentenced to death for the as
sassination of President McKinley.
There he again went over the details
of his crimes. In addition to the mur
ders, Hickey confessed to many as
saults and attempted asaults on smalt
boys. He insisted that all his crimes
"were committed while he was intoxi
cated. Whenever he became drunk, he
said, there came over him an insatia
ble desire to kill small boys. His vic
tims were tortured before being kill
ed. After signing his confession Hickey
said hewas glad hi6 life of crime was
.at an end.
"I. have made by peaQe with God,"
fie said. "I am ready '"to pay the pen
alty for my crimes demanded by
man." .
The killing of Morey in Lowell, ac
cording to Hickey's confession, was
accidental. He was then a clerk in a
drug store and Morey frequently beg
ged him for whiskey.
To get rid of the man one day Hick
ey said, he put, laudanum in the whis
key, intending to makeym sick, but
Morey, weakened by dissipation, died.
This murder preying on his mind
for years, he said, ultimately drove
him to drink.
District Attorney Dudley said Hick
ey's confession came from his lips
without - much persuasion. Police
Chief Regan today received a letter
from Henry Kruck, of New York, who
says he is the father of the murdered
Kruck boy, begging permission to see
Hickey.
"I am not happy since the child was
lost," the letter reads. "No matter
where I go or what I do, my child is
always on my mind. Maybe justice
will cool me up when the murderer is
dead."
In reply Kruck was told he might
see the prisoner provided he submitted
to a search at police headquarters be
fore going to the jail.

New York, Nov. 29. Charles H.
Hyde, former city chamberlain, was
found guilty tonight of bribery in con
nection with the performance of his
duties as a city official. The jury
which had been hearing his case in
the Supreme Court rendered its ver
dict shortly before midnight after
nearly three and a half hours' delibera
tion.
Justice Golf remanded Hyde until
December -4th, and the former cham
berlain was led across the bridge of
Sighs to a cell in the Tombs. It was
his first taste of prison life, for ho
had been at liberty on bail since his
indictment and during his trial.
When the case was given to the
jury shortly after 8 o'clock there
were, few who expected a verdict in
so short a time and when word came
fromlhe jury that it wished to report
Justice- Goff was not at hand. It was
nearly 40 minutes before he appear
ed. Hyde was brought in""- and faced
the jury.
As the word "guilty" fell from -the
foreman's lips, Hyde's eyes, which had
been fixed on the jurors' faces, did not
waver and he gave no evidences of
emotion. ' After his counsel, John B.
Stanchfield. had asked for and" obtain
ed the privilege of making such mo
tion in the case on Wednesday next,
as he deemed proper, the "pedigree"
of the former chamberlain was taken.
Hyde answered the questions in a
.ejear . voice.
-""vvTnen .'he--came to be lead -away ne
flushed and walked with drooping
head to the door.
Justice Goff in discharging the jury
thanked its members for their atten
tion to the case and their conscienti
ous discharge of duty.
Case to Jury at 8:08 P. M.
New York. Nov. 29. The case of
Charles H. Hyde, former city chamber
lain, on trial for alleged bribery, was
gifen to the jury at 8:08 o'clock to
night at the close of. a two-hour charge
by Supreme Court Justice Goff. Half
an hour later the jurymen went, to
dinner, resuming their deliberations
as soon as their meal was finished.
Hyde is accused, in the words of
the State's counsel to the jury, or
"using the power and the pressure of
his official position, unlawfully to in
duce" Joseph G. Robin, head of the
Northern Bank, to cause the bank to
loanthe tottering Carnegie Trust Co.,
$130,000.
Counsel for State and defense spent
the final lay of the trial in suriiming
up. Assistant District Attorney Moss
attacked the alienists called by. the
defense who declared that Robin is
insane. The prosecutor declared he
-would not be afraid to submit the ex
banker to a test of mental control,
quietness, command of himself and
logical memory with some of the ex
perts who had found "Robin faulty in
those particulars. Mr. Moss depicted
flaws in the alibi built up for the ac
cused man, Mho testified he was at
home the hour Robin declared Hyde
was in conference with him and bring
ing pressure to bear to force the loan.
Max D. Steur, counsel for Hyde,
tried to show that the facts brought
out during the trial made impossible
the conversation which Robin said
took place between him and Hyde.
Justice Goff, In charging the jury,
said: "The meaning of the charge is
Did the defendant receive something
fby which his course of action was in
fluenced? If he did, tnen ne is gumy
of the charge of bribery,
"if there was any consideration
whatsoever, even If it was of no intrin
sic value,, the proposition is tne same
Mr. Jackson, who is a resfdent of
Salisbury, has been closely associated
with the Governor, socially and po
litically. In the recent Presidential
campaign he was the leader of the
Taft forces in this State.
Mr. Jackscn is 44:-years old. and a
business man of .Jarge and varied in-
teiests, chief ol which is the manufac
ture of lumber. He is reputed to be
a millionaire
His entry into active politics dates
from 1908, when he became Republi
can National committeeman for Mary
land. Mr. Jackson s father, William
H. Jackson, served three terms in
Congress. His uncle, the late Elihu
E. Jackson, was Democratic Governor
of Maryland from 1888 until 1892.
It 'is well-known that Mr. Jackson
has long cherished an ambition to go
to the United States Senate. He was
the choice of the Republican minority
m the Legislature in 1910, which elect
ed Mr. Rayner and it is understood
he will be a candidate at the Senato
rial primaries next Fall.
Mr. Jackson was twice married. He
has four children, two of which were
by his first wife, who died several
years ago.
Senate Now Evenly Divided
Washington, Nov. 29. The appoint
ment of William P. Jackson, a Repub
lican, as the successor to the late
Senator Rayner of Jlaryland, reduces
the supposed Democratic majority in
the new Senate to sU point .very near
the dividing line. J3efore Senator
Rayner's death the Democratic lead
ers counted on having 49 votes, or one
more than a majority of 96. Now
they can count on only 48 votes with
the Democratic Vice-President to cast

tonight reports the probability of fort
night's armistice being signed by Sun
day by the peace plenipotentiaries,
who -are negotiating for a cessa
tion of histilities between the Turks
and the Balkan allies. From the Bul
garian side there has been no news
today concerning the peace negotia
tions, except the vague statement that
thsy are making satisfactory prog
ress.
Nothing has transpired as to wheth
er the proposed armistice will affect
the whole field of war operations or
only the Tchatalja lines.
The news received today of the sur
render of two entire divisions of Turk
ish reserves to the Bulgarians in the
neighborhood of Demotica, a short
distance south of Adrianople after se
vere fighting, shows there still are
large isolated bodies of Turkish troops
unaccounted for, which must be con
sidered in arranging an armistice. The
armies are said to have large num
bers of men who are proceeding in
Greek transports from the Gulf of Sa
loniW, either for Gallipoti peninsula,
which separates the Dardanelles from
the Aegean sea or to join the allied
array at Tchatalja. No news has been
received concerning these transports

arranged, would present some dlffi

fact that the negotiations continue at
Baghtche and that apparently no defi

belief that a peaceful solution of the
trouble is approaching.
There were no fresh developments
today concerning the proposed confer
ence between the powers on the Bal

to occupation by the latter country of
a port on the Adriatic.
Churchill's View of War.
London, Not. 29. "The only epitaph
history could write upon such a catas
trophe," said Winston Spencer Chur
chill, first lord of the admiralty, in re-1
ferring to the possibility of a general
war as a result or tne Balkan situa
tion, "would be this that a whole
generation of men went mad and tore
themselves to pieces."
Mr. Churchill's remarks were made
at a banquet given in his honor here
tonight. He said that while a strong
feeling naturally existed between Rus
sia and Austria over the Balkan ques
tion, a resort to war by them would
be a horror utterly disproportionate
to any cause existing or any conipen
sation that might be achieved.
Armistice Within Sight.
Constantinople, Nov. 29. A formal
armistice for a fortnight is now within
sight, according to an official an
nouncement made tonight.
"The pourparlors at Caghtche are
proceeding in a satisfactory manner
and there is reason to hape the ar
mistice may be signed in a day or
two," the announcement said.
The information was given out af
ter a meeting of the Council of Min
isters, which was m session from
until 10 o'clock. It was called to dis
cuss a report submitted to Kiamill Pa
sha, the grand vizier, by Osman Nazim

Prior to the meeting of the Council
of Ministers the grand vizier had an

ited the British and Russian ambas
sadors. Fire broke out in the Porte

guished.
Several more Unionist deputies

Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 29. Five

$1,500 WORTH OF FURS STOLEN
Horseshoe Again Hurled Through Win

Chicago, Nov. 29. For the second
time within a week thieves early to
day hurled a horseshoe wrapped in
newspaper through the -window of a
store on Michigan boulevard, got .their
plunder $1,500 worth of furs in an
automobile and escaped. Last week
what is believed to be the same gang
of thieves, robbed a store of $2,500- in
gems after breaking the window with
a horseshoe, n -
On November Gth, at Kenosha, Wis
Detectives William J. Ottis and Ben
jamin F. Damon found McManigal
had been joined .by McNamara, who
under the alias of "Frank Sullivan,'
accompanied a hunting party to Con-
over, where from November 26th to
December 4th, the detectives "shadow
ed" the dynamiters by talking to them
in camp and observing them through
field glasses. Finally McNamara and
McManigal returned to Chicago on a
train on which there were no detec
tives. In January, 1911. Raymond
Burns met Hockin in Chicago and
asked the whereabouts of McManigal
who in the meantime had been to Los
Angeles and caused an explosion there
at the Llewellyn Iron Works.
The substance - of Raymond Burns'
testimony was:
"OnNovember 2nd, I met Hockin in
a hotel lobby in Chicago. He told me
that Bryce, then being hunted on the
Pacific coast, was James" B. McNama
ra, and that J. M. McGraw, wanted
for explosions in Peoria, 111., wasMc-
Manigal. I located McManigal's
house In Chicago and so traced him
to" the Northwestern station, where on
operatives to follow and to gee with.
whom he was connected. From time
to time I received information from
the hunting , camp in Wisconsin.
Two weeks later I met Hockin
in Chicago. He told me he was satis
fied John J. McNamara was doing the
dynamiting for what money there was
in it, and he said he did not like it,
for he was afraid it would ruin the
union.
Later William J. Burns, Hockin
and myself met. William J. told
Hockin the result of the investigation
on the Pacific coast, which was that
Olaf F. Tveitmoe and Anton Johann-
sen, ot San Francisco, had arranged
with Caplain and Schmidt to blow up
the Times building. William J. ask
ed Hockin if he knew anything on this
point.
"Hockin replied he knew nothing
about what Tveitmoe did as that was
a matter handled on the coast. Hock
in did say, however, that Tveitmoe
and Johannesen had arranged to blow
Up William J. in Seattle, or San Fran
cisco by placing a bomb in a room next
to his room at a hotel."
Ottis and Damon testified about fol
lowing the dynamiters to the Conover
hunting camp.
With the examination of its 53oth
witness, the government practically
Icompleted its case today,, although
the district attorney said he would
call a few more witnesses to testify
on minor points.
The defense then will begin.
Concerning the ruling of the court
that 14. of the defendants must fur
lush new bonds because their present
(bonds are indemnified and therefore
invalid, the district attorney announc
ed he would give all an opportunity to
procure bonds before insisting that
they "be taken in custody."
