Murder Trial
Judge Hough Declares He
Will Not Let First Degree

Accused Ship Officers
Pedersen Bemns Defence
Young Mate Says Crew Was
Mutinous From Start of
Voyage; Gave 'Water Cure'
The prosecution in the trial for al
leged murder on the high seas of Cap
tain Adolph C. Pedersen and hi3 son, ,
Adolph Eric Pedersen, charged with
caustng the death of Axel Hansen, a
seaman, rested yesterday. Dudley !
Field Malone. counsel for the accused !
men, asked Judge Hough to dismiss the
indictments on the ground that the
court had not established jurisdiction.
In refusing this request Judge Hough
added that if the jury brought in a ver- ?
diet of guilty of murder in the tirst
degree against either o( the defend
ants he would set that. verdict aside on j
the ground that no premeditation had
been established by the government.
?witnesses. j
Then followed the most dramatic mo
UJcnt in the remarkable trial, which is
being watched by nautlcal and mari?
time bodies from all parts of the world.
Adolph Eric Pedersen, the eighteen
year-old second mate of the American
barkentine Puaka, was called to the
witness ?tand in his own defence.
Young Sailor Breaks Down
At the very outset the pallid smooth
faoed youth broke down. For three
full minutes tears ran unchecked down
his face, while his shoulders shook
with emotion. This paroxysm was
started when Mr. Mnlone asked him
if his mother was still living.
Recovering from this outburst the
youthful second officer started hia nar
rative of the Puaka's voyage from Vic
toria. B. C, to Cape Town, South Afri
ca, during which two men jumped over
board and were drowned. The remain?
der of his testimony was delivered in
clear and incisive tones.
The unfolding of his story under the
ques'ioning of Mr. Malone developed
the argument on which the defence will
build its case. His evidence showed that
Hansen was left to drown in the sea
because weather conditions were. such
that in attempting a rescue the ship
would have been placed in danger, and
that it was impossible to launch a boat.
Young Pedersen denied all tho
Storie? of alleged brutality testified
to by various members of the Puaka's
crew. Ke admitted his father had
slapped the cabin boy in the face. He
also admitted that he had administered
the so-called "water cure" to Seaman
Peter Jorgensen and the cabin boy
Smithson while they were chained to
the pumn in the pump ho'e.
Describing this, he said:
"We found Jorgensen with thirteen
shirts r:i his back, although tho tem?
perature was SO degrees. The car?
penter told me Jorgensen was dirty,
so I said: 'Better go down and wash
them off a bit.' 1 went down and
played the. hodc. an uifim. arui wsaited

cabin."
He admitted having put the cabin
boy in irons beeause the milk he
served for breakfast one morning was
sour.
Coming to the death ?f Hansen on
the morjiing of August 6, the witness
said:
"When I took command Hansen, who
had been at the wheel, was told to go
aloft and take in the royal sail. He.
went to the rigging, and when he came
down I called to him and asked him
a question. He m;ulc no repiy, but. I
saw he had a funny look in his face.
He turned and started to walk away.
"When he got a short distance he
started to run. and T shouted 'Where
ave. you going?' He reached the star
board rail and ducked under the life
line and leaped into the sea. Reilly
ran after Hansen with me. T saw Han?
sen float or swim by the ship. I ran
aft and ordered Jack Joe, the helms
raan, to put the wheel hard over. 1
then ran into the cabin and called the
master.
"He f>ut on a pair of slippera and
pants and came on deck. Hansen had
disappointed by this time, and the mas?
ter sent Campbcll, a sallor, aloft to
see if he could see Hansen in the
water, and ordered the ship back on
its course, as a squall was sweening
down and the vessel was threatened.
Campbell reported that he could not
see Hansen."
Pedersen will continue his testimony
to-day.
Policeman Held
For Shooting 2
C>
Children in Mob
Continued from p.ipe 1
work. Tha two machines revolved and
v/heezed in rivalry for a time until
Merolla saw in Garofolo's carrousel
several children who usually patron
ized his own.
Witnesses say he walked over and
ordered his rival to leave the neigh
I borhood. An argument followed and
I was terminated abruptly when Merolla j
1 drew a knift, it is said, and stabbed
i Carofolo in the back of the neck.
A few minutes later a breathless hoy |
| dashed up to Patrolman Grom as he :
stood at the corner of Havemeyer '
I Street and Broadway, and gasped that
an italian had just cut another Italian's
head off.
Grom ran toward South Third Street
and had to fight his way for the !;<st
block through a crow that: was press
ing in upon a whirling group where
several persons had clutched Merolla
and were beat ing him.
The policeman finally reached the
man' and grasped him by the collar,
ordering his assailants to let go. They
1 refused and some one in the mob hit
! Grom on the back of the head, sending
his cap flying and almost. bringing him
to his knees.
No one is quite sure what h::ppened
, next, but witnesses saw Krom with his
gun in his hand, heard two reports
and saw two children drop. Then
those who were near enough to know
j what had happened gave themselves
over to the task of killing the patrol
: man. They would have succeeded, even
though Pairolman Rouse had come to
. the rescue and was helping to fight
, back the crowd, had not Captain Wake
1 field, of the Bedford Avenue station,
ordered out the reserves.
These drove through fhe mob, res
cued the policeman and Merolla, and
carried Garofolo and the two children
to a drug store. An ambulance from
Williamsburg Hospital rushed isador
and Phcebe to that institution. Garo?
folo, after the deep cut on his neck
had been bandaged, was able to climb
aboard his carrousel wagon and go
home.

Passage of Suffrage
Amendment by Senate
Pleases Chairman Hays
Special Corresponrlenc*
INDIANAPOLIS, June 5.?Will H.
Hays, Republican national chairman,
said to-day he was highly pleased with
the action of the Senate in passing the
woman's suffrage amendment. In out
lining the policy to be followed by the
party he said:
"1 have always insisted that there is
only one possible rule for a politieal
party, and that is that the rights of the ?
individual membership to participate in j
the management of the party's affairs i
must be and remain oquallv sacred and
sacredly equal. The Republican women I
of this country are a part of the party
membership.
"Their activity is not supplementary,
auxiliary or secondary at all -they are
units in the party membership, and
where the. suffrage for them is new they
come in just as men have come in when
; they have reached the legal voting
age. They are not to he separated at
j all, but assimilated and amalgamated,
| with just that full consideration due
; every working member of the party
' in the rights of their full citizenship.
"There is to be no separate women's
! organization created within the party,
| except and only in those cases where
; such an arrangement may he needed
temporarily to be an efficient instru?
ment, in the aid of the complete amal
I gamation which is our objective.
Anne Martin to Enter
Senatorship Fight Again
Miss Anne Martin, who last Novem?
ber lost her independent campaign for
the United States Senatorship from
Nevada, announced yesterday at the
National Arts Club that she would
seek the Republican nomination next
year. Senator Charles B. Henderson,
who defeated her by 7.000 votes, is now
serving a short term and will probably
again be her opponent in November,
1020.
Fitzgerald Calls
Enf orcement of War
Prohihiiioii a Joke
Combafant. Troops All Dis
banded June 12, He Says;
Lifting of Ban on Wine
and Beer Wilson"* Dutv
WASHINGTON, June 5.?Since de
mobilization of combafant .troops will
be completed by June 12, it was the
duty of the President, Representative
Fitzgerald, former Mayor of Boston,
assorted before the House Judiciary
Committee to-day, to cancel the re?
strictions of the war-time prohibition
of wine nnd beer. Mr. Fitzgerald ar
gued it should not be permitted to be?
come effective until constitutional pro?
hibition goes into effect on January 1,
1920.
Representative Fitzgerald told the
committee that, although he personally
was a prohibitionist, he had attempted
to see President Wilson to arjrue
against putting war-time prohibition
into effect after hostilities had come
to an end.
"I was told at the White House that
the President's mind was in Europe
and that no human being could get a
chance to see him about that law,"
he said. "This law was passed as a
war measure. The people of the. coun?
try should not be made to believe a
thing that is a lie."
Thousands of foreigners in the large
cities who have been used to light
wines and beera will be compelled to
give them up after July 1 under the
law, Representative Fitzgerald as
serted.
"They are going to asy why are
these. things being taken away from
us," he continued. "The answer will
be the war. Isn't the war over? Yes,
you will reply, but the prohibitionists
have the vote.
"Why, this law will be a joke.
"To quotc a remark of former Presi?
dent Taft, it will require a policeman
for every home. Take the great city
of New York, with 7,000,000 people,
coming from every civilized country
m the world. Do you think you vcan
enforce this against them overnight,
the \\\iy you can in Kansas or towa?"
Delegates attending the annual con?
vention of the Anti-Saloon League here
were promised to-day by Senator Shep
pard, of Texas, that sale of'any bever
age containing even a trace of alcohol
would be prohibited by laws now being
framed for enforcement of nationwide
prohibition.
"We are not 2.75 per cent Ameri?
can;-," said Senator Sheppard, who
made a plea "not only for saloonless
American, but for a salooniess world."
Representatives of tho drug trade,
appearing before the House Judiciary
Committee, asked protection for pro
prictary medicines long on the mar?
ket, continued manufacture of which,
they said, was dependent upoiv use of
alcohol. Failure to 1'md a suitable sub
stitutc for alcohol as one of the funda
mentals of most medicines was em?
phasized.

Suffrage Bill
Prepared for
Ratification
Continued from page, 1
Susan B. Anthony amendment, after
forty-one years, to the list of historic
documents of the United States Senate.
Gives Pen to Mrs. Gardner
He then presented the pen to Mrs.
Gardner, for the National American
Women's Suffrage Association, by whom
it will be preserved with "Aunt Su
san's" desk and the pen with which she
wrote the orie-inal draft of the amend?
ment in 1875.
The body of the pen is to be en
graved with the name of the Vice
President and the date of his signing
and the head with the name of the
Speaker of the House and the date of
his signing.
There was a blue paste board box,
too, in which the pen had been bought.
This the vice-president handed, with
a laugh, to Senator Watson, saying he,
too, deserved something by way of a
souvenir.
Then the motion picture men were
ushered in and Ine ceremony was over.
Michigan and Illinois Rivals
The race for the honor of being
the first state to ratify the suffrage
amendment apparently lies between
Michigan and Illinois, both of whose
legislatures are now in session. Tho
National Woman's party announced
to-day that it. had already opened head?
quarters in the capitals of these
states, and also in Harrisburg, Penn.
"MrSjLawrence Lewis and Miss Mary
Ir.gham aie in the Pennsylvania capital
new, but Senator Penrose is also there,
so we are not confident that the bill
will be rushed through in that state,"
laughed a woman's party worker this
morning.
Illinois was the first. state to grant
presidential suffrago to women in 1913.
It is also the home state of the two
women who hold the most important
pesitions in national political affairs,
Mrs. Medill McCormick, chairman of
tho women's executive committee of
the Republican National Committee,
and Mrs. George Rass, chairman of the
Democratic Women's National Com
m it'. ee.
Wadsworth Cedes Victory
Uncertainty as to the details of
ratification, however, blinded no one
to-day to the probability in suffrage
minds it is certainly that the nec?
essary thirty-six states' legislatures
will soon vote favorably on the amend?
ment.
Even Senator Wadsworth admitted
the anti-suffragist cause was lost.
"1 have no doubt that the amend
men1 will eventually be ratified," he
said. "An amendment when once sub
mitted to the siate legislatures has
eternal life.
"Such are the peculiarities of the
United States Constitution that even
should a state Legislature east an
adverse vote against an amendment,
this may not be final but is subject
to reversal at a later date. So the
suffrage amendment will not be killed,
even if thirteen or more state legis?
latures vote again3t it next year.
"There are one or two amendments
: before the states now which were
passed by Congress fifty or sixty years
ago and have never yet been ratified."
The Senator from New York said
he had no information as to the plans
of ihe National Association Opposed to
Woman Suffrage.
Ratification by States
Predicted by Mrs. Catt
Women of all the states will be en
' titled to vote for President in L92C
1 if speeia! sessions of state legislatures
are called to ratify tlie Federal amend
; ment, aceording t.o Mrs. Carrie Chap
man Catt, president of the National
: American Woman Suffrage Association
i last night. Twenty-eight states alreadj
j have some form of woman suffrage, anc
I in others there already is suffrage
sentiment to give the women conti
denco that those state legislature:-. wi!
ratify. Mrs. Call said yesterday:
"There is no question at all about th?
speedy ratification of the amendment ii
special sessions are called. it is not
?the siate legislatures that are respon
sible for delaying justice to Americar
women. The one thing that. has beer
: in the way has been a small and com
pact minority of both major partiei
: that set itself against progress. Nov
enough of that. minority has seen the
light. The amendment has been passed
; Had it been passed before the close o:
the 1919 sessions, as it should hav<
been and would have been save for th*
obdurate minority, there is no questior
that. the necessary thirty-six state leg
islaturea would have ratified before
I March of this year. As it is, specin

women and the only way in which the
] political parties can secure a uniforn
electorate of women to whom to makr
their appeal."
Five States Preparing
To Ratify Suffrage Bill
SPRINGFIELD, 11'.., June. 5.?A reso?
lution seeking to put Illinois first on
record as ratifying the Federal suf?
frage amendment was introduced in
the state Senate to-day l,y Senatoi
Cornwell, Republican, of Chicago. The

decide to change them or the 'emerg
cncy' is terminated by the proclamation
of peace.
"By the action now taken, however,
the wire companies resume actual con?
trol of operations of their respective
property and are free to formulate and
put into effect their own policies un
restricted by government control,
which is to continue in any case but
a few weeks, and thus will be able to
prepare themselves for a complete re
sr.mption of the management of their
property. It will be necessary for each
company to so keep its accounts dur?
ing the continuance of government con?
trol that its books may be closed on
the day government control ends in
oider that a full and accurate state?
ment may be promptly made when it is
called on for same."
Huge Defieit Revealed
A few hours before the wires were
returned by the. Postmaster General,
J. C. Koons, chairman of the Wire
Control Board, revealed to the House
Interstate and Foreign Commerce Com?
mittee thai there would be a huge de?
fieit as a result of government opera?
tion of the communication systems.
Apparently he was unaware of the
Postmaster General's intention, for
he said he believed the best time for
the return of the wires would be June
30.
Mr. Koons took up in some detail
the dispute between tho Postal Tele- j
graph Company and the government, He :
read a number of letters he said had j
been sent by Edward Reynolds, former >
general manager of the Postal, to the '
Washington manager of the service,
urging that so far as possible he
avoid taking government business.
Says Business Is Avoided
"Facts that have come to us in con?
nection with the action of the Postal j
Telegraph Company in dodging govern- j
ment business at this crucial period i
justified our taking over these proper- ;
ties," Mr. Koons added.
"Had other companies assumed the
same attitude the government would
have been strangled in the conduct i
of the war. Government business is
handled at 41 per cent of the commer- i
i cial rate. In peace times it is not |
large in volume, but in war times
, this business is tremendous. The rates j
are low beeause of concessions granted |
the companies by the government. It. ;
has been the same for years. The po!- j
icy of the government is to divide the
business between the two companies.
But the Postal did everything possi?
ble to shunt their share over to the
Western Union. Investigation shpws
that the Western Union carried twelve
; time, more government business out
. of Washington than the Postal."
Senators hesitated to-night to com
ment on Burleson's action.
"This may make our bill for reppal
of the telephone and cable law unncc
essary," Chairman Cummins, of the
Senate Interstate Commerce Commit?
tee, said, "but we shall meet to-mor?
row to consider what action is neces
' sary."
"Mr. Burleson probably knew the
repeal bill would be passed immediate
' ly," Senator Kcllogg said. "I would
not care to say until after studying
; the matter whether the repeal will be
! necessary or not."
