Bitter attack on the vivisection work of the Rock efeller Institute and also on John. D. Rockefeller for financing the work was made by Edward H. Clement of Boston in his opening address here to day as president of the International Anti-Vivisection and animal protection congress. "Imagine it proved," he declared, "that your healthier Bcalp or sounder liver is 'indicated' as the physicians say, for Mr. Rockefeller's baldness arid dyspepsia. Are you willing! that Mr. Rockefeller's Jugglers should take you or one of your sons, and setting up your survivors in an affluence they never dreamed of, proceed to scalp you, painlessly, of course perhap? with prayers? : . 1 "Here in the United States is the largest mass in the world of 'tainted' wealth; and the whole toppling mass stands crowned with the Rockefeller Institute. There is .enthroned man superior cunning and power wreaking Itself on animals as erstwhile on hu manity;" ?

The doctors Justify themselves, .he added by .Baying that any poor baby of the Blums is worth a thousand dogs. - The United States, Great Britain Germany, France, Italy, Finland, Swe den, Denmark and Belgium are rep resented at the congress either by del egates present or letters or papers from prominent workers for the cause in those countries. . .'

It opened at 15 and dropped on a single sale to 74,. a net loss from yesterday's close of 24. It then rallied, but stock was pressed for sale and subsequently It returned close to the low level. The pronounced weakness of this stock waa caused by uneasiness over the action to be taken on the dividend tomorrow by the directors. Chairman Elliott has Intimated that a reduction may be necessary arid Wall street has generally believed that a 4 per cent rate waa in sight the October state ment. Issued yesterday, however, was unexpectedly poor and this gave rise to reports that tho dividend might be passed. K ' By noon New Haven had declined to 73 but offerings were smaller. MRS. PANKHURST LEAVES ENGLAND FOR FRANCE Police Do Not Interfere Mrs. Post Advocates "Votes For Children." Washington, Dec. 9. Results of the house lobby investigation by a com mittee headed by Representative Gar ret of Tennessee were made public to day in two reports a majority report signed by democrats and republicans alike and a supplemental report tiled by Representative McDonald of Mich igan.' ' . The majority made no recommen dations but declared that Representa tive McDermott of Illinois had been guilty of acts of grave Impropriety, unbecoming the dignity of his posi tion, though "we cannot say that he has been corrupted In his votes." The majority report also held that McDermott, having intimate relations with I. H. McMlchael, former chief page of the house, knew that M. M. Mulhall, a lobbyist for the National Association' of Manufacturers," em ployed McMlchael. ' . ' . The majority held that both the National Association of Manufactur ers and the American Federation of Labor engaged ln political activities and expende dmoney to effect nomi nations and elections of the members I of the house of representatives. Representative , McDonald, ' who agreed with the majority ' findings, declared that congress had fallen somewhat from its high estate in the estimation of the American people, that there had been a broadcast sus picion of conditions existing ln con gress that a system has been built up for defeating remedial legislation. He made, recommendations for legislative reforms. . 'Lobby Defined. The' main conclusions of the ma jority aenne a loDDy as a person, or body of person's seeking to Influence legislation by congress in any manner whatsoever." The National Assoolar Hon of Manufacturers, the N&tlonal Council for Industrial , Defense. ' the National Tariff, Commission.. assoeMr - -tion, r tile-American "FeflWUHsn ra-. of Llquoo Dealess and . local loan sharks are found to have .maintained lobbies. Mulhall Is .held, to have almitted errors In some vital statements made in his charges but to have been cor roborated In other matters of import ance by officials of the National As sociation of Manufacturers and the National Council for Industrial De fense. ; Mulhall, tho report says, was extravagant in many of his claims. The lobby of the associations , of manufacturers . and of Industrial de fense la held gnllty of improperly pre venting and seeking to prevent legisla tion. Gravest doubt was expressed as to propriety of acts of Mulhall and Councel James A. Emery for the manufacturers. Nothing illegitimate was found in the activity of the American Federa tion of Labor. Lobbies of liquor deal era and money lenders ln Washington were found to have neither effected hor prevented legislation Improperly. No evidence was found of employment of members of the house for Im proper purposes. i Tipping of house' employes was de nounced as reprehensible. ' Employ ment by manufacturers associations of former Chief Page McMlchael of the house was severely censured. . Representatives Exonerated. Representatives Bartholdt of Mis souri, Burke of Pennsylvania, Colder of New York, Bherley of Kentucky, Webb of Nbrth Carolina, were upheld as "neither reached nor Influenced by the manufacturers." Tha committee held that Reprcsen tatlve McDermott minimised his Inti mate relations with . Mulhall. The committee concluded that McDer mott' "training and association, havo not given him the ethical perceptions and standards, relative to public office that ukoally characterize '. public men." Shelbyvllle, Ind., Dec. 9. Judge; Alonzo Blair today instructed the jury to dismiss the case against. Dr. Wil liam B. Craig charged with the mur der of Dr. Helene Knabe at Indianap olis October 23, 1911. The motion to dismlna the case waa made by Attor ney Henry Spaan for the defendant yesterday, when the state concluded its evidence. The sudden termination of the case was not unexpected by those who have watched the progress of the trial. It was believed that the state had failed to make as strong a case against Dr. Craig, who is dean of tha Indiana Veterinary college at Indianapolis, it had predicted. .. Mr, Spaan in his argument in sup port of his motion to dismiss the case said he believed Dr. Knabe was mur dered but declared "it is far cry from the proposition that Dr. Knabe was murdered to the proposition that Craig did it. , He declared that the state had failed to connect Dr. Craig with the crime. Attorneys for the state denied that their evidence was insuf ficient to continue, but were overruled by Judge Blair's decision this morning. Dr. Helene Knabe was one of the most prominent' women doctors in the state and at one time was connected with the state board of health. She was found dead ln hei apartment In Indianapolis on th emorntng of Octo ber 24, 1911, by her office girl, Miss Katherine McPherson. . The police after a long Investigation reported that Dr. Knabe committed suicide. Coroner Durham of Marion county conducted an Independent in vestigation for more than a year and returned a evrdict of murder by per sons unknown. Two grand juries con sidered the case but made no report. A number of women of Indianapolis became interested and employed a pri vate detective to gather evidence. It was on the detectives' report that the third grand Jury to consider the case returned indictments December 31, 1912, against Dr. Craig and A. M. Ragsdale, an undertaker and admin istrator of the Knabe estate. Ragsdale was indicted as an acces sory after the fact and now that Craig has been acquitted probably will never be tried.

A" letter from General Venustiano Carranza, the leader of the Mexican rebels, de fending the execution by General Francisco Villa of federal officers cap tured at Juarez and telling why bloody , reprisals were being visited by tha rebels upon federal prisoners of war was given out today by Governor George W. P, Hunt of Arizona. General Carranza's letter, dated at Hermosllio, Sonora, Mexico, Novem ber 27, was in reply to a communica tion which Governor Hunt sent to the rebel chieftain suggesting that a con tinuation' of summary executions by Insurgent commanders would horrify , the people of the United States and alienate their sympathy. ;. . Governor Hunt wrote aa a private : citizen not aa governor ot Arizona. , In his reply General Carranza saya in ' part: - While recognizing with pleasure. the spirit otfsank. friendship which . ,, actuated your letter, your personal , sympathy and that-"of the people of - the -Unite4 States with, the atrtigglo ln; furtherance of civilization and, jusUeV" which we are carrying on, I cannot the less deplore the fact that with an imperfect understanding of the pe- ' cullar character of the Mexican prob lems there is likelihood in certain cases, and notwithstanding one's good intention, of placing a wrong construc tion on some of our acts. - : , With strict reference to the law provided the Huertaist officers were tried and executed ln the city of Jua rez. Among them were some who had been captured at Torreon by this same General Villa, who, after par doning them, agreed that they should be enlisted by our f orcea Thereafter they endeavored, but unsuccessfully, to create a defection of the men whom I entrusted to their command, finally deserting to re-engage In crime. "It Is true that the established prin ciples, observed In international war extend to prisoners the privilege of pardon or immunity from bodily harm, but in civil struggle, the most civilized nations ln all agea have em ployed more rigorous and bloody mean.4 even than we have been com pelled to adopt. And with reference to tao executions of the officers In the city of Juarez there should be perceived that no needless cruelty was visited upon prisoners of war but merely such punishment as was pre scribed by the law applicable to of fenders against the public peace and safety." Exeunt Federals and Civilians. Presidio, Tex., Dec. 9. As far aa the eys could reach there stretched out today over the desert south of Ojlnaga, Mex., opposite the Presidio, the straggle end of the Mexican fed eral army and the civilians who'fled from Chihuahua to safety on the United States border.

Including the most Important generals In the north, continued fortifying the village. This, taken with the fact that General Yneg Sulazar Immediately on his arrival communicated with Mexico City, Indi cated that the federals Intended to make a defense on the border, at least until they could receive orders from the government of Provisional President Huerta.
