Dickerson was charged with shoot ing William Leitzer. also colored, on the night of May 19, this year. When brought before the court and asked if he had anything to say before the sentence was imposed, Dickerson began, "Well, Judge, I ' ■ have lots to say, but " and then stopped. Judge Kunkel reminded him he had been convicted of murder, but he replied, "I ant not guilty of it." The court again called his attention to the verdict, and Dickerson again answered, "Not guilty of any crime at all." The convicted man then waited a second and said, "I'd like to have a new trinl. I believe I'd get more out of it." His counsel was in court and was asked about a motion for a new trial. Ho told the. court that no such mo tion had been made, as he had found nothing which would furnish suffi cient grounds for a second trial. Dickerson made two more remarks before he was sentenced, saying "I don't think the jurymen understood th elaw. I know I don't." and "I saw whole lots of errors made by witnesses." Before Dickerson was called for i Mwitcncc. William 11. Earnest and TNionias C.

BERLIN CONGRESS CASTS OUT FIERY SPARTACUSIAN j By Vote of Five to One Sol diers' and Workmen's Coun cil Repels Liebknecht Berlin, Dec. 17.—The central congress of delegates from Soldiers' ana Workmen's Councils from many parts of Germany opened yesterday in the building formerly used by the Prussian diet. There were three women among the 450 delegates. During the organization of' the congress it became evident that the independent Socialists and the Spar- 1 tacus group were greatly outnum-j bered. A significant development j was that none of the important < posts in the congress were given to delegates from Berlin. The Spartacus group made a futile attempt to intimidate the con gress. Early in the session a reso lution was submitted that Dr. Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg, leaders of the Spartacus group, be invited to attend the congress us guests with advisory powers. Presentation of the resolution caused a great tumult throughout the hall. The followers of Dr. Lieb knecht and spectators in the gallery joined in, the uproar, which lasted 1 twenty minutes and threatened to result in various fist ifights. The resolution then was defeated, five to one. Later while Herr Mueller, chair man of the workmen's section of the executive committee was speak ing, the chairman of the congress interrupted to say: "There is a comrade present who wishes to submit a communication." The new comer announced that he represented 250,000 workmen who were then gathered outside, the diet building. • He read a list of demands identical with the Spartacus pro gram, including retention of all power by the Soldier's and Work men's Councils, no national assembly and the formation of a Red Guard. This aroused a storm of protest and in the general uproar the intruder lek't the chamber. The 250,060 workmen who he said were outside the building proved to be about seven thousand from five , factories, whom the Liebknecht 3 agents had induced to go on strike temporarily. In the meantime Dr. Liebknecht succeeded in entering the building and made a speech to the crowd from a, window. require approximately $600,000 per year or $1,200,000.00.

In mak- t Ing this announcement to-day the War Department gave no explana tion, but the assumption here is that the division lias been selected g as a reserve unit held to reinforce t the American army of occupation t In Germany. t , BRIEFS FROM THE ' BIGNEWSEVENTS > By Amciuttd Prut | New York.—Representative Mey jer London, Socialist, who was de feated for re-election, was given per mission to-day by Justice Donnelly to examine the balots cast In the re- New York.—The British steam ships Prlnses Juliana and Caronia, bringing small contingents of Amer ican military, naval and civilian con tingents from England and France, came Into port to-day.

TWO HARRISBURGERS GO INTOLUXEMBUGG [Continued from First Page.] quarters overlooking the Moselle on the borders of Germany. First Officers Over The part of Lieutenant Dowdell's letter having to do, with the army of occupation follows: 38lh Inf. A. E. F., A. P. O. 740. 23 Nov. 18. Dear Dad: 1 ani sitting in Remich in the Duchy of Luxembourg looking over the Moselle river into Germany. The Boche have been retreating ahead of us all week, but now their lines and ours are in touch once more. Every one is satisfied that the war is over and we have had a sort of triumphal dress parade through Lorraine and Luxembourg. Now we are sitting down for a needed rest after our sixty-odd mile hike since Sunday morning. Our battalion was given the honor of being first to cross our old line and again when we entered Luxembourg we lead the procession. I was well up towards the front and believe Captain Murray and I were the first infantry officers to cross the line. . Lorraine and Luxembourg are both seemingly in better condition for food than was northern France and especially that part of France held by the Germans where the people were robbed of everything they had the Boche knew about. Apparently the Germans are demobilizing their army as they withdraw for every where we go there are returning German soldiers, some still in full unlfohm while others are camou flaged partly in civilian clothing. A funny sight the other day, however, was a German soldier in full uniform riding along our column on a bicycle carrying an American flag and shouting "Hip, Hip, lloorah!" When we came to this town the Germans had just left (about two hours before) and their rear guards were still at their end of the bridge, but the town was gay with red, white and blue and they met us with a brass band, a huge bouquet for the major, much oratory and the school kids drilled to shout, hip, hip, hoo ray! They paraded us through the town and we lined up in close column on the river bank with the Boche looking on from the other side! These Luxenibourgers certainly lay claim to disliking the Boche. They have a lot of tin soldiers in pre civil war regalia running around like true chocolate soldiers and looking important as hell. But Just the same they have always danced to the tun'e the Prussian fiddler played. There is no indication that famine has stalked among the people. They are well fed and well clohted. Their valley farms among the richest and well-kept 1 have ever seen, their vineyards in wonderfully profuse condition, plenty of food displayed ln g the shops —prices have gone so high, or rather, the value of the murk lias gone so low that they puss around what used to be small for tunes for the ordinary things of life. The Major paid out 16 marks for a dozen eggs the other day. A beef steuk costs 4 marks, and a marlf equals a quarter-dollar in its face value. Ordinary hard candy costs about $5 per pound while I paid $5 for a dnke of , real Peter's milk chocolate (.30 size), the other day. We are so far ahend of our lines that a train wreck 60 miles behind us Thursday has made us go hungry all day to-day and the soldiers have just literally bought the town out i of its stocks of food. And the worst part of it for us is that we have so far had to exchange real money for the depreciated marks at the cur rent face value of before the war. Our division quartermaster is ar ranging to get us the marks at their present depreciated value, but in the meantime our high prices represent real money. After a few days things will be straightened hut again and we will all be fed and happy. • Sunday, 24th Nov. Mess call interrupted my letter. We had darn little to eat and per haps thut was why mess call seem ed more important than usual. The colonel came in this morning with a rumor that we are to remain here until December 1. Rations have commenced coming again and we will have a big time on Thanksgiv ing Day. The "Stars and Stripes." says the censorship is off and you all doubtless read Just where we are in each day's Rapers. So far our reception along the route has been cordial, but a major wjio went over to the Boche linos to obtain their program of withdrawal, says the civilians ncross the river are quite hostile and unpleasant to wards Americans. The mail will close soon so I guess I'd better call this off for the pres ent. Love to you all, MARC. COBB HOI'KS TO QUIT New York, Dec. 17.—"Ty" Cobb.

Many of the large industries in east ern Pennsylvania laid in large quan tities of bituminous coal during tho summer and fall in order to guard against a possible shortuge. With the armistice signed and the ! war. practically over, the plans are , using up the surplus, and as a result the demand for bituminous is not as . brisk as it had been. In consequence ! the shipments of this kind of fuel over the Philadelphia and Reading Railway, which transported tho greater portion from Pennsylvania conliields, have fallen off consider , ably recently. i The anthracite trade continues ac ■ tive and the distribution among the dealers in Eastern Pennsylvania seems to bo more free. Nohe of the dealers apprehend that there will be : any trouble in supplying the trade during the winter. The mild weather lias resulted in the saving of hun | dreds of thousands of tons of fuel. Pennsy Lines of State Need More Male Employes While little if any more help is needed on the Pennsylvania Rail road in Harrisburg at this time, needs for men are steadily increas ing on all Pennsy lines, according to the weekly labor order, just issued, as 8,500 men aro wanted for vari ous jobs.

Brum baugh, of Pennsylvania, to-day in an address on state educational policies, before the conference of Governors here. "The school must widen its spere of service,", suld Governor Brum and we give them home und haven. But we should insist that every im migrant within five years must master the English language or leave the country. We should also everywhere enforce by compulsion the education of all native born people. We shall be wise If we at once establish con tinuation schools, and enforce at tendance therein of all youths above the age of 14, who are employed legally in industry. "Each citizen, man or woman should master a definite trade and school should be In position to train in thesu branches. We are a wasteful and extravagant people. The schools must teach thrift and train our peo ple to save and conserve. The school must set a new policy of national loyalty and must be not only pas sively but aggressively moral." Governor Brumbaugh denounced the past practice of sending youths to Germany fbr the completion of iheir university education. He urged governors to use thier influence to raise the standards of higher educa tional institutions in this country. Synthetic niilk is being produced from peanuts by European chemists.

The Jews have no status at all; they are oppressed and helpless. There are discriminating laws against'them at every turn. •'They cannot become citizens, nor are they permitted the least liberty. I The most dalboiical law of all, though, is tlpit termed 'public safe ty's' which permits Rumanian oM cials to expel Jews from the country without excuse or reason within twenty-four hours.
