The jury failed to agree after forty-one hours deliberation and the case has been reset for January 9th. Two women jurors stood out against a verdict of acquittal. The Detroit Free Press bursts forth with the announcement that whatever you say about the modern girl and her costumes and manners, she has at least emancipated herself from the clinging vine, stage. We’d say so since she can visit a.,nicotine shop and order her own brand of cigarettes but as to whether or not that fact marks a step forward —well that’s another question. The Memorial services at the court room Sunday afternoon were beautiful and many who attended were impressed with the high ideals of this great fraternal order. The addresses by Judge Moran. Exalted Ruler Hensley and Senator Harry New were excellent, the music splendid and the rendition of “Thanatopsis' by Mr. Hensley a fitting closing of the program. The ritualistic services in memory of the departed brothers is always an occasion of devoted solemnity and a fine exposition of brotherly love. The telegram from this paper to the state highway commission regarding the installation of guards to the north bridge has at least brought partial results and we now have hopes of the job being eventually done. Why not now? In reply to the message a letter came this morning from Mr. Hinkle, the chief engineer stating that instructions have been issued to Mr. Horn, district engineer at Fort Wayne, to have the guards erected on the north side. We beg also to call attention to the fact that the south side needs guarding and that the work should all be done now while they are at it. At the close of the morning services at the Presbyterian church, Sunday, when Rev. A. H. Saunders delivered a powerful sermon, the congregation was stunned when he announced that it was necessary for him to go as soon as possible to his

brother who is ill in Colorado. For several minutes the people remained in their seats without effort to hide their emotions, then left without the usual greetings. Rev. Saunderg has been here three years and is admired by every citizen of this community und sincerely loved by the members of his congregation, as are his family. He is sincere, a preacher of the gospel, every inch a man and we need him here. While perhaps improbable there is a lingering hope that instead of resigning he will consent to accept a leave of absence and will return after a few months to continue the work he has so splendidly started. The reduction in food stuffs is shown beyond dispute in the statistics given out concerning the foreign trade totals. In many cases food products have been lowered fifty per cent. The weekly letter from the National City Bank’s trade record says:— “Illustrations of this big fall in price are found in the October report of the Department of Commerce showing quantity and value of certain principal articles exported in October 1921, and a comparison with the same month of last year. The figures indicate that the value at the port of exportation of the wheat passing out of the country in October, 1921, was $1.29 per bushel against $2.77 per bushel in October of last year; corn 60 cents per bushel against $1.33 in the same month of 1920; rye 98 cents per bushel against $2.15; oats 40 cents per bushel against 86 cents one year ago;- barley 73 cents against $1.51; rice 3% cents per pound against 7 cents in October, 1920, and flour $6.29 per barrel against $11.55 one year ago. these figures suggest-, ing a fall of fully one-half in the priee of breadstuffs per unit of quantity when comparing the figures of October, 1921. with those of October, 1920. MesAs also show a big fall in price, tiiough not quite as great as that of breadstuffs. Bacon exports in October. 1921, averaged 13 cents a pound r.' the port of exportation against 23 cents a year ago; lard 11% cents a pound against 22 cents; canned beef 20 cents against 35 cents; condensed ■Tk 12 cents per pound against 18 cents: and cottonseed oil 9 cents per pound against an average of 17 cents in the same month of last year.”

CAPTAIN STUMP HERE THURSDAY (Continued from page one) the membership of the two organizations would be glad o hear a discussion of the method of regulating public utility companies. Captain Stump will discuss the theory of state regulation and control of utility companies, and give us some side-lights of the way on which the theory is worked out in practice in Indiana. We hope there will be a large attendance for the meeting of Thursday night, December Bth.” HAD DINNER HERE (Continued from page one) /.Iter tlfj meeting at the court room and a reception the senator was taken to the Murray hotel where a dinner was served. Those who formed the party with the distinguished guest were the officers and committee including D. M. Hensley, Fred C charger, J. F. Arnold, H. J. Yager, Clem Voglewede, Wiley Austin, F. E. I France, C. C. Ernst, W. A. Klepper and Harry Fritzin ger. W. A. Klepper took the senator to I Bluff-ton, leaving here at 6:15 and ! from there Mr. New took the traction fro Indianapolis.

“HUMORESQUE" Vera Gordon, the actress who makes such a tenderly appealing figure of the mother in “Humoresque" was engaged to play the role as the result of a lucky coincidence. Miss Gordon is an enthusiastic traveler and has explored practically every corner of the globe. She combines business with pleasure, accepting theatrical engagements abroad in order to become acquainted with foreign lands. In this way she has become mistress of six or seven different languages and is at home in Vladisvostok, Honolulu, or New York. Miss Gordon, just returning from one of her periodical trips abroad, was descending the steamer gangplank when Frank Borgaze, director if Humoresque”, who wa s looking for a friend arriving on the same ship, spied her. Borgaze was at that time picking players for the different roles in the picture. He saw at once that Miss Gordon was the ideal type for “Mama Kantor” and, having met her previously during his own career as an actor, he approached her wit,h the proposition. -The result was that Miss Gordon appeared at'the Cosmopolitan studio < the next morning ready for' work. She enjoyed an extensive experience on the stage previous to her debut' 1 in picthresr playing leading roles in “The Land pf the Free,” and "The Gentle.. Wife," “Humoresque” will be the!feature attraction at the Crystal and Medea theaters Tuesday “ and Wednesday.

CONTESTELECTION With One Exception Every Democrat at Evansville is Under Fire CLAIM IRREGULARITY Would Seat Republicans— Charge a Violation of Corrupt Practice Act. Evansville, Ind., Dec. 5. —(Special to Daily Democrat). —Suita contesting the election of Mayor Benjamin Bosse and thirteen other successful democrats will be heard in the Vanderburgh circuit court today. The successful Democrats are charged with Irregularities in the city election November Bth. There Is only one democrat whose election will not be contested. He is the councilman from the first ward. Attorneys who are in charge of the contest suits said that action arising from election trregulariies might take any or all of the three following courses: 1. —Contest to seat apparently elected republican candidates. 2. —Filing of suits by defeated candidates or by ten qualified voters. 3. Prosecution under indictments that might be brought later by the grand jury. They will act on the ground that the democratic candidates violated the corrupt practices act. Conviction would disqualify them for office. There is some conjecture as to what would happen should the Mayor be disqualified. Som’e say the city controller would succeed him just as he w r ould if the mayor should die. WINS PRIZE FOR WINDOW DISPLAY Charles Voglewede has just been awarded a valuable prize for the excellence of the window trim which he designed for the store during Dr. Scholl’s National Demonstration Week October 22nd and 29th.
