ery of tnx receipts, friends have been

.Ankle from Lelb an Interesting case
Is that of Sabatlne De Musi, who hud
been In the Eastern Penitentlaty fei
twelve years. He ta.s Mived from the
death penalty and his sentence changed
te life imprisonment, after Charles J,
jReney, n lawjer, had worked untiringly
n his behalf.
Although Dc Masl was without funds
tfhen he was tried in 1000 for the
killing of James Qtilnn, son of a saloon
keeper at Yerk read and Lycoming
Rtrcet, Mr. Itency, after questioning
the prisoner, became convinced of his
Innocence.
The trial rwulted In a erdlet et
Xtlllty, and the late Judge Ralston
ncntcnccd both De Mas! and Michael
Comperto, n companion, te be hanged.
Following Mr. Rency's appeals Dc
Wasl's sentence was cbangel te life
Imprisonment.
After her husband's death, live years
MO, Mrs, Reney, who resides at 1011
Catharine street, continued the light In
De Mast's behalf. A month age she
convinced the District Attorney's office
thit a complete investigation of the
cisc was necessary.
Mrs. Heney said It was hoped te pre
sent sufficient testimony In De Masl'
behalf te the Beard of Pardons te obtain
his. "lease before Christina-,.
The lwrdshlps of three young men
Sehrmrc serving terras in the State Peni
tentiary have aroused the sympahty of
Sirs. E. M. C. Webster, of Vlneland,
te the point where she will persenallv
take before the beard information which
she believes will obtain their release.
Jeseph dl Hlase. his brother. Jehn di
Blnse, and Dan l'elu are the three
who arc serving terms varying from two
te three yean, in the penitentiary f-r
receiving stolen goods. A petition In
their behalf has been circulated by Mr".
'Perfectly Willing te Be
Hissed, Berry's Retort
"I am perfectly willing te be
hissed mid hooted by members of the
Association Against the Prohibition
Amendment," said Bishop Perry to
day, "My statements were misrep
resented, however, when they In
ferred that 1 called them all bum"'
and bootleggers. 1 had said in my
letter that there were some respecta
b'e citizens in their organization. 1
rath r enjoyed rending the account
of the meeting today."
Webster, which, she says, has been
signed bv ninny Influential men in the
section of New Jersey about Vlneland.
The time men were tried last Feb
ruary, charged with driving te various
places near Vlneland automobiles which
were stolen from a garage at Sixteenth
street and S'nyder avenue. In August,
101i(). When giving a hearing, they
asserted they were doing a favor for n
relative who bought and void motor
cars and who had since disappeared.
Mrs. Webster 1 basing her plea en
the ground that the juutli were miners,
that it was their lirst offense, and she
believes they were ignorant of the theft
of the cars,

RIOT AT CHRISTMAS TREES
German Crowds Cry "Profiteer" and
Seize- Yuletlde Greens
Sl"-ml Cnble Miimtrh. Copine'i'. toil
Iteilln, Dec. HI. The numerous
plundering riots, coincident with the
Christinas shopping rush, which at
times have assumed dangerous propor
tions, took n Tcmarkable turn yester
day, when masses of rioters attacked
Christmas tree dealers.
Apparently the same crowds which
have been suddenly gathering and at
tacking feed and ether stores in various
districts caused the trouble jetcrdny.
A farmer who brought a wagonlead of
trees te the city war surrounded by a
group of children. When 1.1(1 marks
apiece was asked for the trees there
were cries of "Profiteer." Several men
bearded the wagon and scattered the
trees into the crowd.
At the North Station another mob
stele 100 trees, se there will be at lea.t
100 happy families gathered around
stolen goods this year.
Ne Funds, Borough In Darkness
Mnluuiey City. Pa.. Dec. LM.tJU-
berten, a borough with 4t!00 popula
tion, has been in darkness the last two
nights. The Schlklll Electric Light
and Power Company has shut off the
light, due te failure of the Town Coun
cil te pay its bills te the company.
The Ceuncilinen of fJllbertnn say the
borough treasury is depleted.
About .100(1 persons, Including mere
than 150 women, gathered in the Met
ropolitan Opera Heuse last night for
the first meeting of the Association
Aenlnt the Prohibition Amendment.
It was a serious gathering, but en
thusiastic In its applause of any denun
ciation of the dry law enforcement or of
any prediction that the Velstead Act
would be repealed.
There were bees for Rishep Rerry
whenevr speakers referred te his class class
Ifientien of the members of the associa
tion as "bootleggers, bums and crim
inals." Several days age Bishop Berry,
in declining an Invitation te loin the
association, declared that it was deemed
te defeat. . .
Wien the meeting (started Uic par
quet fleer seats were all taken, the
heTcs were occupied and there were
several hundred in the balcony. All
three speakers commented en the letter
of Bishop Berry.
In the midst of a speech a man in
the rear of the orchestra fleer rose te
his feet and sheuted:
"I demand te knew why this meet
ing has been called. What arc you try
ing te de here? I Insist '
Just then the heckler was approached
by four of Uic forty patrolmen sent te
see that there were no disturbances at
the meeting. He was led gently, but
firmly, te the outside of the theatre,
and allowed te depart.
Representative Hill uas the principal
speaker. Earlier this month he intro
duced a bill providing f(.r Fedcrnl local
option and that bill is new in the Ways
and Means Committee. Tart of his
speech was spent in describing that bill,
which, or one like it, he predicted,
would be passed seen. In his opening
Mr. Hill referred te Bishop Berry.
"In 1007 the Anti-Saleen League
steed for temperance, Mr. Hill began.
I "Teilay it stands for bigoted Intcmper
! nice. Ne bettei example of this is
'needed than jc-tcnla description of
j en and me given bj one of jour Anti
I Saleen League leaders.
"Newspapers reported yesterday that
' the Rev. Mr. Berry declined te join our
association en the ground that we nrc
'largely made tip of n malodorous com
pany of brewers, saloonkeepers, boot
leggers, bum and criminals.' Could
nnything be mere bigoted or mere in
temperate? "I personally recognize In this au
dience men who have held the highest
positions of trust In the State of I'cnn
sjlvanla and in the United States. I
recognize men who ns officers in the
regular army and In the National
Guard during the last war rendered
the most distinguished serricc. I rec
ognize men who held positions of trust
In the rcat churches and financial In
stitutions of Philadelphia. I myself
um a member of Congress and was
formerly I'nltcd States District Attor
ney for Maryland, yet Uic chief expo
nent in your city of the Anti-Saleen
League calls us 'bootleggers, bums and
criminals.' "
Then came the hisses and boecs.
Later, after describing his bill for
local option, air. lull again referred
te the Bishop.
"My bill for Federal local option,
although opposed by the Antl-Haleen
League, from the statements in your
papers this morning will receive the
sanction of the Treasury Department
of the Federal Government.
"I wonder if the Rev. Mr. Berry en
reading this morning's Philadelphia
newspapers will classify the members
of the Treasury Department, one of
whom is a member of President Hard
ing's Cabinet, as belonging te the class
of 'bootleggers, bums and criminals' te
which lie absigns you nnd me?"
Mere hisses followed that statement,
which were changed te cheers when Mr.
Hill e plained tlint by beer he meant
the 4 per cent varietyanil by light wines
lie meant the kind that has 12 per cent
alcohol b. volume. But the real demon
stration was unldesed when Mr. Hill
ventured the opinion that "it will net
be a long time before the Velstead act
Is repenlcd."
The ether speakers were Emanuel
Furth, a lawyer of this city, and
Captain William II. Stayten, founder
of the association. Captain Stnyten said
the organization new numbers mere
than 200,000 members.
SENATOR CAPPER DEFENDS
AGRICULTURAL BLOC
Congress Greup Is Rendering Coun
try Great Service, He Asserts
Washington, Dec. 21. The agricul
tural bloc was defended In the Senate
cstcrdny by Senater Capper, Repub Repub
licen, of Kansas, as "really rendering
the country a greater service at this
time than any ether group of men."
Mr. Capper said the critic who had
most astonished the country was Sec
retary Weeks, who nttacked the blee
In n recent address In New Yerk.
"In n general attack upon a Congress
whose achievements are considered
somewhat epochal," continued the Kan
sas Senater, "net only did the Secre
tary of War find nothing geed te say of
any of the legislative measures enacted
in behalf of the farming industry nnd
approved by the President, but he con
demned much of it as unsound eco
nemically, one must Infer, beenusj it
was introduced by the fnrm bloc.
Mr. Capper also replied te statements
attributed te Otte Kalin, New Yerk
bnnkcr, whose remarks, Mr. Capper
stid. would cause one "te think that
i business sits en the right hand of Gov
i crnmcnt."
j The Senater entered n plea for the
I East and West te get together en what
1 he said should be common ground, de
claring that the interests of agriculture
i should be the Interests of the industrial
' eud financial sections.
