STRIKE LEADERS
ARE NOT GUILTS
Salem, Mass., Nov. '2?>.?'"Not f*uil
ty" was the verdict of the jury i
the case of Joseph Ettor, Arturo Gic
vannitti and Joseph Caruso for th
murder of Anna Lopizzo, who wa
killed in a Lawrence textile strik
riot last winter.
When the three men had heard th
words freeing them from the charp<
they embraced and kissed each othei
Giovannitti then sprang to his fee'
"Gentlemen of the jury," he sait
his face beaming with joy, "in th
name of justice, truth and civilizatioi
1 thank you."
The court interpreter, Alfred Sacct
arose for Caruso and said:
*'Mr. Caruso desires me to say tha
he wants to thank you all and no^
that he is a free man he says tha
he was innocent of the crime."
Ettor Addresses Jury.
Ettor, leader of the strike at Lav
rence and chief centre of interest tha
has aroused worldwide attention, at
dressed the jury:
"May it please the court," he saic
"T thank you not only for myseli
hut in the names of my companion!
1 also feel impelled to thank th
court for the fair manner this tria
has been conducted. The thanks w
offer are not only ours, but thanks i
the name of the working class."
The jury entered the court room a
8:20 o'clock. Immediately thereafte
the prisoners, each wearing a re
carnation, were brought to the cage i
the centre of the room. All wer
smiling. Judge Quinn ascended th
fcench at 8:42 and asked if the jur;
had agreed upon a verdict.
Defendants Arise.
"We have," said the foreman as h
handed it to the court, hnliff
"Joseph Caruso, stand up," com
nianded Clerk Georpre.
As Caruso obeyed, the clerk called
"Caruso, face the jury: the jury
men, look at the prisoner. Gentle
men o fthe jury, is Joseph Carus
guilty or not guilty?"
"Not guilty," was the unanimou
reply.
Etto and Giovannitti were likewis
commanded to rise and apain th
jurors chorused a verdict of "no
Kuilty" for each defendant. The jurj
which for more than six weeks hai
listened to the evidence in this not
able trial, was then excused frori
further service, with the thanks o
tbo court. The jurors hastened fror
the builtjinp: and were cheered b;
the crowds of mill workers in th
streets.
WHAT ONE FARMER
LEARNED ABOUT SELLIN<
I have been farming all my life
and am now 35 years old, and
fiave just awakened to the necessit;
of selling my produce, and of buyin]
household and farm supplies mor
economically.
During all these years I have bee
shipping my surplus produce to com
mission men in the cities, or takin]
n to the near-by market and dump
ing it off cn the retail men ,at an;
kind of an old price. In the earl;
spring I began to take in sweet po
tatoes, housed over from last yeai
also cabbage, and was selling pota
toes for (50 cents per bushel, whicl
I considered a fair price, and smal
cabbage at $1 to $1.50 per 10
heads. While I would be unloading
I noticed the middleman or huckste
would be selling potatoes for '25 cent
to 30 cents per peck, and the ver;
same cabbage I was unloading at fiv
cents for choice, or two smaller one
for five cents or three medium one
for ten cetns.
It occurred to me tnat if customer
would come to the stall and buy a
these prices, that I might take m
produce to the customers' doors an
get the same price. I made a trial c
next load I took in, and was so sue
cespful that I have not unloaded o
the middleman since. By spendin
from two to four hours more in driv
ing through the city, I find I increas
the amount of cash taken in fror
each load from $5 to $8.
I find this plan has another brigh
side to it. I can market off perish
able fruits and vegetables that th
.middleman could not handle becaus
be would be oversocked. For in
stance, just this fall, there has bee
an extra crop of Keifer pears in thi
section. I had no trouble in sell in;
mine to the consumer for 25 cent
per peck. At the same time I woul
see farmers hauling them in to th
middleman for f>0 cents per busiie
and would say they were glad to ge
that price, as it was too much troubl
to peddle them around town. Oth
ers would let theirs rot on the groun
or feed them to hogs, as they coul
find no sale for them. Had I no
caught the idea of being a retaiiei
i would have done like my neighbors
I know I can realize from 25 t
100 per cent more for my produc
by this method than I have been do
ing heretofore.?G. L. H?-dison, i

e
Washington, Nov. 25.?Isidor Rayner
of Maryland, one of the leading
^ Democratic members of the United
States senate and a man whose name
y was offered to the Baltimore con..
vention by William J. Brvan as a
y ~ "
suitable candidate for the presidential
nomination, died here early today at
the end of a long illness resulting
from continued attack of neuritis.
U Senator Rayner had been in a coma^
tose state since last Wednesday with
r only one or two slight rallies. His
severe illness covered a period of
s about six weeks, dating from the efy
forts made in the joint political debate
with Bourke Cochran at Baltimore
late in September. Physicians
s compelled him to retire from the campaign
immediately after that and he
returned to his Washington home
t where he died at 6:20 oclock this
y morning. For over five years Senator
j Rayner had been suffering from neuj
ritis, the attack often making his
work in the senate arduous and painn
^ Funeral services will be held Wednesday
afternoon at 2 o'clock at the
Rayner home in this city. Thejservices
will be conducted by the Rev. U. G.
B. Pierce, chaplain of the senate, and
t President Taft's pastor, assisted by
the Rev. Chas. Wood of the Church of
p the Convent, in Washington. The
interment will be in Rock Creek cemetery
in this city.

i, houses of Congress as well as many

i- Senator Rayner's death creates a vail
cancy in the senate that probably will
d be filled by a Republican by appointt
ment of Governor Goldsborough of
, Maryland. While the legislature of
i. the State is Democratic it does not
o meet this winter and the Republican
e governor's appointment will hold

been a member of that boJjJjBCSc 5
eight years and was one of itff'atrongest
debaters and a recognized authori- ,
ty on constitutional law. ^
Before he entered the senate he had J
attained a national reputation becausfe
of his vigorous conduct of the late
Admiral Schley's case before the na- *
val court of inquiry that investigated
the action of American officers in the ?
battle with Admiral Cervera's Span- ?
ish fleet.
Mr. Rayner was a native of Baltimore
and was 62 years old. He was a "
member of the Maryland legislature
when 28 years old and served three ?
terms in the national house of repre% ?
i sentatives in the period from 1886 to
1892. lie was elected to the United ?
tates senate in 1904 after having ^
served a four-year term as attorney ,
general of Maryland.
As a member of the committees on
foreign relations and the judiciary, ?
Senator Rayner devoted much attention
during the first few years to ?
American foreign problems and con- ?
tinental legal questions. He was a ?
strong advocate of the abrogation or 8
the treaty of Russia because of that 8
country's discrimination against pass- ^
ports presented by American Jews ^
and exercised a marked influence in
getting the senate to endorse such action.

Republican whom it is expected Go*. e
Goldsborough will appoint in his r
place will hold office at least until the
Maryland legisature meets in January,
1214. ^
Senator Rayner's death removes one *
of the Democratic members on whom
control of the senate depended in the ]
new congress. With his vpte the
Democratic leaders counted on mustering
49 votes, or one more than a
majority. In any event, 48 votes,
with the vote of the vice president in
case of a tie, was looked upon as sufficient
strength to insure control.
While the Democrats still have an
apparent strength of 48, the death of
the Maryland senator reduces the supposed
majority to a point very near
the dividing line of party control.
