Hardy Dickcrson Certain He
Would Fare Better if He
Had Another Chance
Convicted two weeks ago of mur
der in the first degree, Hardy Dick
erson. colored, was sentenced to he
electrocuted early this afternoon by
President Judge George Kunkel.
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. McCarrell. who had been
appointed counsel for William Kvans,
colored, twice convicted of murder

Johnson, specially presiding, and
Judges Kunkel and S. J. M. McCar
rell. An opinion will be given later.
Kvans is charged with stabbing an

TUESDAY EVENING, SGUIIUSBUIIG 'nELECHOUPH! DECEMBER 17, 1918.
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.

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.

iD NEWS I
COAL SHIPMENTS
I BECOME SMALLER
War's End Causes Reduction
in Bituminous Coal Ship
ments on Reading
Shipments of biturriinous coal over
the Philadelphia and Reading Rail
roud have fallen oft considerably
during the past several weeks, fol
' i lowing tho signing of the armistice.
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

While little if any more help is
needed on the Pennsylvania Rail
road in Harrisburg at this time,

- Annapolis, Dec. 17.—Schools in the
future must do more to educate both
the foreign and native-tiorn popula
tion and to train men and women In
trades, said Governor Martin G. 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.

JEWISH FREEDOM
IN RUMANIA IS
WOLFSON'S TEXT
Pleads For Equality of Peo
ple; Wants Schools Open
to Children
By Associated Press
Philadelphia, Dec. 17.—Jews in
Kumuniu are conscripted Into the
army, but they are not permitted
tq become olfleers. Neither can they
hold public ofllce in that country
nor can their children attend schools
except when there is room and then
only on the payment of a sum of
money.
These restrictive as well as other
oppressive conditions under which
the Jews ure' compelled to live in
Rumania, were recounted by Deo
Wolfson, of New York, in to-day's
session of the American Jewish
Congress assembled here for the
purpose of attaining full and equal
rights for the Jews throughout the
world.
"Kmanfipation for the Jews in
Rumania must come," suid Mr.
Wolfson, "buttt will never be dono
by Rumania itself. .It must be ac
complished by outside powers.
"There are about 250,000 souls
affected and agitation and efforts to
relieve the situation have been
futile. Promises have been made but
never kept. Conditions continually
grow worse. 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.
'VThe atrocities practised and the
conditions that exist to-day in that
natoin are one of the shames of
civilization."
Reports that delegates represent
ing the Jewish Nationalist-Socialist
weer dissatisfied wit lithe proceed
ings of the congress and would
withdraw were holly without foun
dation, B. Zukorman, New York,
one of the organization's leaders,
who told the delegates that the
body would lend its fullest support
nnd co-operation to attain the alms
that the congress sought.

TRY MAGNES A FOR.
STOMACH TROUBLE J
It NrulVnltira Stomach Acidity, Pre
vents Pood Fermentation, Sour,
(iaiuy Stomach nnd Acid
Indigestion
Doubtless if you are a sufferer from
indigestion, you havo already tried
pepsin, bismuth, soda, charcoal, drugs
and various digestive aids and you
know these things will not euro your
trouble —in some cases do not even
give relief.
Uut before giving up hopo and de
ciding you are a chronic dyspeptic,
just try the effect of a little bisurated;
magnesia—not the ordinary commer
cial carbonate, citrate, oxide or milk,
but the pure bisurated magnesia
which you can obtain from practical
ly any druggist in either powdered or
tablet form. .
Take a teaspoonful of the powder
lor two compressed tablets with a
little water after your next meal, and
see what a difference this makes. It
will instantly neutralize the danger
ous, harmful acid in the stomach
which now causes your food to fer
ment. and sour, making gas, wind,
flatulence, heartburn and the bloated
or heavy, lumpy feeling that seems
to follow most everything you eat.
You will llnd that provided you tulte
a little-v bisurated magnesia imme
diately after a meal, you can eat al
most anything and enjoy it without
any danger of pain or discomfort to
follow and moreover, the continued *
use of the bisurated magnesia cannot
injuro the stomach In any way so
long as there are any symptoms of
acid Indigestion G. A. Gorgas.
