METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE SMALLNOTGUIL'Y Jury Frees Governor Back In Springfield At Executive Office Two White Women Thought To Be Negoes Shot To Death Bowlinggreen, Ky., June 12. Reports, of the killing of three white women, two of them with blackened faces and dressed as men, reached here from a point in Clay County, Tenn., last w.ek First reports were very meagre and names were not given. The place where the killings happened is a wild isolated section 40 miles from here and thirty miles from the nearest railroad. Only a few Springfield, Ill., June—Governor Small is back in the executive offices at the State House, following his complete vindication by the "not guilty" verdict of the Lake County Jury returned last Saturday. The Governor is particularly pleased over the fact that the verdict came without a single witness in his behalf being placed on the stand. In other words, the jury found him "not guilty" on the evidence which the prosecution itself presented through five long weeke to convict him. After the verdict was returned, Charles C. LeForgee, the Governor's chief counsel, revealed the interesting fact that it was the Governor himself who ordered that no evidence be presented in his behalf. "Let them present every scrap of evidence they can secure," the Governor told Mr. LeForgee. Stand they, themselves, will prove me innocent." And Mr. LeForgee acquiesced and the Governor was right. following statement on the trial: "The verdict of "not guilty" is a result I was always sure would follow in the trial of the case against me, and this for the reason that I knew there was no guilt. It should be borne in mind that I was indicted July 20, 1021, and continuously from that time until the present hour my services to the present hour my services to the State of Illinois as its Chief Executive have been hampered and, at times, well nigh destroyed during this litigation. "I was particularly desirous that the People of the State of Illinois should know fully and in detail each and every transaction which was in the hands of the persons who inspired this prosecution, and those facts be elicited before a jury of twelve men who would decide upon my guilt under them. "The People of Illinois have their answer, and I trust it will be remembered that the county where this case was tried was first named by the prosecution. Naturally, while I am personally delighted at the quick action by the jury in deciding this case, I do not think that the years will ever be long enough to efface from my memory the unhappiness and sorrow that they have brought into my home and to my family by the most nn- just, unfair charges that I believe were ever made against a man in the history of Illinois. I will return to my official duties, and if these people who have been seeking to destroy my usefulness will take the verdict as a repudiation of their methods I will, with the help of God, give to the People of Illinois the best administrat on I am capable of 'I want to thank the men who have managed and controlled the case in my behalf, and their assistants and the men who have worked with them during the long trying ordeal of this case. They have labored long into the hours of the night with loyalty and devotion that I can never forget, and aside from all else I want them always to realize my appreciation of their services.'' Mr. LeForgee made the following Statement. "I have never had any doubt about the ultimate result of the Small case, both upon the propositions of Law and upon the facts. During the past year, I have familiarized myself with every detail involved in this litigation, and I had an abiding faith that there could be but one result in this case namely, that Governor Small would be acquitted. "In one particular this case is unique. The case is over now, and I suppose I may speak of it, as I feel it is worth while. During the months that have passed an elaborate defense was prepared, many witnesses interviewed, but at the conclusion of the State's case the position of Governor Small was unique in the fact that he commanded that this case should go to the jury upon the full strength of the case made by the prosecution and that alone. He wanted the People of Illinois, so he said, to realize that the verdict of the jury in this case would not be based upon an affirmative defense, but based on a consideration of each and every one of the facts and circumstances the State could possibly produce, even tending to prove his guilt. That was done, and now the jury, who have passed upon all facts disclosed by the prosecution, with all their exhibits amounting to seven or eight thousand in number, and after a short deliberation have pronounced him "Not 'Guilty.'" ST. JOHN'S DAY OBSERVED ST. JOHN'S DAY OBSERVED At Carrier Mills, Sunday June 25. A Big Parade With 50 Masons In Line, Led By Carrier Mills Brass Band. Address of Welcome by Mayor Knickerbocker farmers inhabit many square miles of this section. A few days ago one of the farmers sold his property for $1.800 cash. A big fox hunt was put on two days following by neighbors, who urged him to go. The scared infarman did not give the names of the parties concerned. He declared that wives of two of the men, dressed as men, and with blackened faces, went after the money. They viciously attacked the farmer's wife, beating and choking unmercifully, trying to force the woman to give up the money. She refused, then the two women bandits cut her throat. A man living with the family was asleep up in the loft of the barn, awakened by the commotion rushed to the scene gun in hand and shot the two women robbers dead, in belief they were colored men. The boarder then fled. He told a distant farmer and hastened on; this farmer brought the ST. JOHN'S D ED . At Carrier Mills, Grand Chaplain Rev J of the Day A Big Parade With 50 Masons I Band. Address of Welcome Last Sunday Afternoon, June 25, St. James Masonic Lodge, No. 85 of Carrier Mills celebrated 'St. John's Day in befitting style by holding religious service at the A M. E. church, at 2:30 p.m., in honor of John the Baptist according to the ancient custom of the order. Forty members of the Order of the Eastern Star occupied seats on one side of the church dressed in their white dresses, presenting a very beautiful appearance. A number of citizens of Harrisburg, Galatia, and other parts of the county were present. The line of march was formed at the hall half mile away and with the Band of Carrier Mills playing sweet strains of music marched to the church where a short but appropaiate program was rendered by members of the Eastern Star and Masons who had been selected for that purpose. This was an ideal occasion, the day was hot and the sun bright which seemed to be an incentive for the masons and their friends. The members of Eastern Star presented a beautiful bouquet of human faces, scarcely equaled and not excelled by any city or chapter, which added very much to the dignity of the affair and put a deal of "pep" in the program. Music was furnished by a choir composed of the Star sisters and masons. Following is the program: ```markdown ``` FRIDAY first news to Bowling Green. Authorities here at once communicated with Clay County, Tenn., officials to investigate. One of the party rode horsback to the nearest station and for the coroner.

Mutilation first was decided upon. The husband of the murdered woman and another farmer started to unsex one of the "colored men."

There is only one way to cure cartarrhã deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tubes When this tube inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever.

State Mourns Mrs. Small's Death DEAD FROM STRAIN OF TRIAL Death Is Blow At Hour Of Triumph Collapses After Greeting by Kankakee Friends. Kankakee, Ill., June 26,—Mrs. 1da Small, wife of the governor of Illinois, died at 8:05 o'clock today in the home she loved so much that she would not leave it even for the executive mansion at Springfield. Her life paid the price of the despicable political conspiracy led and fostered by the Chicago Tribune. The end came after a period of unconsciousness that lasted for nearly thirty-six hours. It began with a stroke of apolexy that followed what probably was the happiest moment of her life. She was stricken as a band of jubilant fellow townsmen was playing "The End of a Perfect Day." The band had just finished playing "Home, Sweet Home," which was near to the heart of Mrs. Small—for to her the big white house, unpretentious but complete, that stands in the shade of a grove of great old elms and birches, stood for "Home, Sweet Home." was the thing about which her entire activities revolved. Opposed to Public Life. So well did she love it that she did not want Len Small to run for Governor and despite the fact that as wife of the governor she was the first lady of Illinois, she spent less than thirty days in the executive mansiou at Springfield during all the time since her husband was elected. And it had been the happiest day of her life because she had just come from hearing a jury of twelve men say "not guilty" after they had heard the case, which lasted for nine weeks in Waukegan, in which her husband had been accused of misappropriating state funds. There were tears in her eyes as she shook the hands of the jurors in the Waukegan courthouse, but they were tears of joy. "Oh, how wonderful to start for home and a long sleep," she said, as the Governor's party had started. Brief Sketch of the Mt. Olive Baptist Institute and B. Y. P. U.

When the White Star Liner Adriatic arrived here recently from a tour of Mediterranean ports there was on board one Pericval M. Fielding, a retired army captain of London, and Tazidah the beautiful, said a recent issue of the New York Tribune. It was in the hills of Afghanistan that the captain first met Tazidah. She was chasing a gazelle over the snow-covered hills. Her red hair streamed behind her in the breeze. Her easy grace attracted the attention of the captain. Later he came to know her better, He gave her sweetments. From that time on they were inseparable. Before long it was a common sight at the inn to see the captain smoking his pipe with one hand and stroking Tazidah's lovely red hair with the other. When the captain left the hills of Afghanistan Tazidah went with him. Tazidah had unusually large feet, but in her own country one ever thought of them in any other than an admiring way. They were hunters, those people, and Tazidah was a huntress. Her feet were of invaluable service to her in pursuing gazelles. Being as they were, big and flat, they acted as snowshoes. They had been big from the day of her birth, and were looked upon by her countrymen as a rare inheritance. Tazidah stood on deck, rejoicing in the sloppy weather. To be sure, the snow was more diluted than that to which she had been accustomed. But it was snow, and that was the main thing. She yearned for the sight of a gazelle. "Are you going to enter in the dog show?" some one asked the captain. "I don't think so," he replied. "But she's a rare dog and fast on her feet. Eh? Oh, she's an Afghan gazelle hound." STUCK TO HIS RESOLUTION Story Reveals Firmness of Character of the Great Japanese Statesman, Marquis Okuma. The late Marquls Okuma of Japan, while talking with a group of politicians shortly before his death, was asked by one of them who, in his opinion, was the most dreadful man in the world, and his reply was: "One from whom you have received favors." The great statesman of Waseda, when young, was never able to excel in handwriting, try as he might, though he was remarkably good at brain work. Ashamed of this, with characteristic stubbornness he determined that he would never again take up a brush to write. Once Kelu Nakamura, prominent scholar of Chinese literature, to try this resolution of Okuma's, called a boy and said, "Go and ask Okuma how to write the Chinese character 'Shoku.'" The boy came up to Okuma and did as he was told. To help him Okuma took out brush and ink and a sheet of paper, and he almost began setting the letter down, when he suddenly recollected his resolution. Immediately he dropped his brush on the floor, took the boy near the fire and showed him how to write the character in the ashes with a poker. Money in Street Music. Never were so many bands in London streets as now. Some are, or supposed to be, formed of unemployed; others, perhaps, spring from a pure desire to make our lives melodious. This music seems to be profitable. At Marborough Street police court a member of a street band charged with obstruction was said to be making more than £7 ($35) a week. From a Musicians' union comes the comment that this is no uncommon sum; and that street musicians have been known to refuse places in a theater orchestra. As they would earn there from £3 108 ($17.50) to £4 145 ($23.50), they have reason.—London Times Weekly. Gorgasus Turkish Wedding. Gorgousus Turkish Wedding. A Crocusiusia wedding of which $50,000 was spent was celebrated in Stambut recently, despite the general poverty of the present-day Turks. The bridegroom, an Albanian Turk, made a big fortune after the armistice by selling offal. He hired 43 bouses for the wedding guests, who were entertained sumptuously for a week. A hundred motorcars and 300 open carriages followed the bride's closed and curtained carriage to a large school building, which he had rented and decorated for extravagant festivities. Each table provided for 300 guests and was loaded with Turkish delicacies. The wedding presents, it is said, were worth $20,000. Illustrating Food Values. To teach food values to children and to combat malnutrition the American Museum of Natural History circulates a traveling exhibit which includes a set of 16 wax models of food suitable for children between the ages of ten and thirteen and models and charts illustrating the composition of six common foods and the contributions of different foods to the body. New Shantung Coal Field. A newly discovered coal field is reported in Shantung province, which is said to contain an immense quantity of smokeless coal according to the Compressed Air magazine. Chinese and foreign engineers are engaged in the exploration of the coal field, and the mine is to be developed under Chinese auspices at an expenditure of $500,000. JAP GIRLS GET INTO LINE Increasing Physical Activity and Independence Are Regarded as of Particular Significance. A new freedom in physical movement is discernible if not obvious in feminine Japan. It can be noted on the street in the little girls' play. Always they have had the most varied line of games and were fairly active, but nothing so unadhayed as jumping over a stick, a sort of pole vault without the pole. Now this is not unusual in the larger towns, and surprisingly high do these wooden clogged, kilomoeed, pig-tailed youngsters jump, and with much abandon. In the girls' schools there is much more activity than even three years ago of the kind that past generations of American mothers called tomboyishness, and increasing interest in tennis and basketball. Also it is not unbecoming now for maiden or matron to hold up her head in line with her spine, and frankly look on at this world and all its incumbences. Formerly it was almost the great unpardonable not to carry the head slightly forward, with eyes downcast. This attitude of humiliation is now becoming fearfully old-fashioned. Foreign teachers of long experience say that the change in this respect is striking in the classroom. Students when reciting now look up squarely at the Instructor instead of at their knees as formerly. As this is not a taught thing, but the reflex of a change within, vital enough to overcome teaching and inherited tendency, it is significant. Another change, trifling, but a straw that shows the direction and velocity of the current, is the growing habit of man and wife to walk side by side on the street instead of my lady pigeon-toeing along about a pace in the rear of her lord.—Scribner's Magazine. TRUE DA VINCI IN LOUVRE? Museum Director Scoffs at Theory That Famous Painting Has Been Brought to America. Artists and friends of the Louvre museum may reassure themselves. The original of Leonardo da Vinci's painting, "La Belle Ferroniere," hangs in the museum and is not in America. This on the authority of D'Estournelles de Constant, director of national museums. "This is an old story," said the director. "It is not the first time that the authenticity of our masterpieces has been questioned by foreign collectors. There seems to be no way of putting a stop to the habit. "The painting entered among our collections under the title of 'La Belle Ferroniere' was certainly from the brush of Leonardo da Vinci himself. It was among the art treasures of Francis I and, in 1642, Pere Dan, the king's minister of finances, identified it as the portrait of the duchess of Mantau, Certain historians, on the other hand, have maintained that it was that of Lucrezia Crivelli. It is generally conceded today that the picture represents La Belle Ferroniere, one of Francis I's favorites. "Whoever it may represent, however, the painting had always hung in the private apartments of the king until it was transferred to the Louvre. Its authenticity might possibly have been questioned had it been stolen at any time. But no such misadventure ever occurred to it."—From Le Petit Paris. (Translated for the Kansas City Star.) Bans the Merry-Go-Round. Bans the merry-Go-Round. Verily the most captious of music critics must confess that when the overture of "Poet and Pessant" is hooted out by the steam calilope of a merry-go-round it carries to the juvenile ear a more vital inspiration than could a Philharmonic feast in Carnegie hall or a whole opera at the Metropolitan. Imagine, then, the grief of Tarsos Polycrene at the refusal of Mayor Scott of New Rochelle to license him to operate a $30,000 merry-go-round on a lot that he and his two brothers have bought at the entrance to Hudson park. Supreme Court Justice Platt of White Plains will decide whether the gorgous merry-go-round planned by the Polycrene brothers shall be sanctioned or not, for the indignant trio have applied to him for a writ of mandamus to compel Mayor Scott to issue a License.—New York Sun. Fishing Fleet Reduced One-Half Heavy toll exacted by storms threatens to ruin the fishing industry of Newfoundland. A movement now is on foot to induce the legislature to offer heavy bounties for the building of schooners, it is reported. During 1921 42 stout fishing schooners dropped into Davy Jones' locker, and 1922 already has a lengthy list of losses. The entire Newfoundland fleet today is not more than half that of 1900. The number of schooners between 30 and 65 tons in service today is about 500, as against from 1,000 to 1,500 in the closing days of the Nineteenth century. Triumph for Old-Timer. The little red schoolhouse won a victory over the present day educational institution, with its domestic science and vocational training courses, during an old-fashioned spelling bee held in Bucyrus, Ohio, when Mrs. E. B. Finley, eighty-seven, spelled down 25 graduates of high schools and colleges in a contest lasting over three hours. Renaissance, vertiginous, rendezvous and fortissimo were the words that spelled defeat to her opponents, and then Mrs. Finley became so excited she dropped out with "tuberculosis."

William Allen White, editor of the Emporia (Kim) Gazette, in an editorial in Judge, says: "The vast mystery of natural things is so baffling that it is no wonder the mysteries of the supernatural are neglected in these days of marvels. The big, imponderable old world is shrinking and revealing itself as a speck of cosmos around which its inhabitants may ride in a few weeks, write in a few minutes and talk in a few seconds. "Within the memory of living men the railroad has divided distances by ten and steam and electricity have speeded up time in the ordinary processes of life's business a hundred-fold. Middle-aged people can recall the days when, there were no telephone, no electric lights, and young people in their middle twenties remember when automobiles were toys and the moving picture was an experiment just coming to commercial use. And much of the difference between the American of today and of Monroe's day is due to the physical discoveries that a hundred years have developed. "These physical discoveries have changed men's creeds, revised men's attitude to God and man, rebuilt their institutions, made them braver because they could afford courage, made them kinder because they could afford kindness, and wiser because knowledge of life was forced upon them by the civilization in which they live." HIS SAFETY DEPOSIT BOX Banker Would Have Put Would-Be Borrower With His Other Business Securities. The great banker looked keenly at the young man. "So you are temporarily embarrassed, eh?" he asked kindly. "I am sorry to say I am," said the young man, emboldened by his manner. "How much do you want?" "Five hundred dollars would tide me over." "And what security can you offer?" "I can offer you," said the young man, impressively, "my own personal security." The old man arose with a slow smile and raised the lid of an iron-bound chest which stood in a corner. "Will you get in here, please?" he said. In there? Why? "Because," was the reply, "this is the place in which I always keep my securities."—Kansas City Star. Steel Has Great Cutting Power. "High-speed steel" for cutting tools has been well known for years, and an improved form of this material has been introduced in Sheffield, England. It is reported that this steel has four times the cutting power of any other in use. The composition is, it appears, still a secret, but it is said to be the first "high-speed steel" that can be hardened in cold water without danger. It can also be hardened with oil or in a cold blast. Tools made of it wear out much less rapidly and require much less grinding than those of the older kinds of steel. They will also go on working at high temperature longer. But the makers themselves say that this steel does not by any means mark the final development of "high-speed steel."—Washington Star. Help Austrian Children. Danish joint committees for help to war devastated countries report that in 1921 Denmark entertained 5,584 children from Austria for several months, and that since September, 1919, Denmark has cared for 16,455 Austrian children and 5,428 German children. Furthermore, 120 German little ones needing special care were nursed in a special cump. Gifts of hospital equipment were sent to Austria and Germany, and 40,000 francs was spent supporting a children's home near Rheims. Food and clothing to the value of 70,000 Danish crowns were sent to Germany and Austria and financial assistance for children amounting to 25,000 crowns was sent to Belgium, 33,775 to Poland, and 34,500 to France. Strike Not New Weapon. That strikes are not of recent origin, but that they have, for many centuries, troubled the employer of labor, is said to be interestingly established by a record recently discovered in certain ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic tablets. These tablets were found in the excavation of some ruins at Thebes, and cast a strong light upon the labor conditions of the city 3,000 years ago. Details are given of many interesting phases of a strike when a large number of workmen notified their employers they would discontinue work unless their back pay were promptly given them and a new wage scale arranged. Deleterious Imitation. "Don't you sometimes lose faith in human nature?" "Never," replied Senator Sorghum. "You can always depend on human nature for generous actions and unprejudiced opinions. That refers, of course, to genuine (human nature, which isn't always so easy to find. A good many people feel that they have to depend on human artifice and dissimulation. Human nature, my friend, is all right. What makes the trouble in society is the de-natured human."
