PRESIDENT ASSAILS FTHE "MORAL COWARD"

Denounces Men Who Refuse to Act Energetically to Solve Big ft

Problems of Life.

PITTSBURGH, Pa., Oct. 24—The "moral coward" who refuses to act energetically on the problems of life was denounced in the plainest of terms by President Wilson here today. The president did not mince his words. He emphatically advocated education in the practical things of everyday life for the youth of America. And, while he made mo positive suggestion, by strong interference he made it plain that the business men who in the crisis facing the country cling to the old conservative methods should be subjects of severe castigation.

The occasion for the president's visit "was the seventieth anniversary of the founding of the Young Men's association. He took for his subject, "Let in the Light," and while his address was in every way non-political in character, he emphasized the protection of the new peace treaties giVe this country from war dangers. This was the only part of his message to the T. M. C. A. that appeared to refer to the great European war. "The government of the United States," he said, by way of illustrating his point, "has just succeeded in occluding a lar^e number of treaties with the leading nations of the world, the sum and substance of which is this: That whenever any trouble arises iight shall shine on it for one year before anything is done. My prediction is that after the light has shone on it for a year it will not be necessary to do anything that after we know what lappened then we will know who was i?ight and who wrong. I believe that ""light is the greatest sanitary influence in the world."

The Germans have stripped the country for the maintenance of the army and all industries are paralyzed and money is exhausted.

I arrived in Terre Haute on April 20, 1868, and it was through ihe kindness of her citizens that I got my start in life. I left Terre Haute in 1873. It was there I joined the Baptist church. I soldiered in Company 23, Indiana infantry. I remember particularly the Hales, Bentleys, McPhersons, Myers, Ogles and Hendersons families, which gave up many of Iheir sons to the cause of the union. If any of my old friends read the Tribune I would be glad to get a line from them. "Respectfully, Jasper Wheeler, Lamasco, Tex."

commanded by King Albert in person and supported by two brigades of British marines armed with heavy callbered naval guns, hold the territory in the vicinity of Nieuport.'Not only have they repulsed all of the violent German assaults but they have also pushed forward a few miles toward the northeast. From Dixmude to the vicinity of Armentieres the French and British are engaged. At Labaasee the Germans have been abje to advance slightly and hold the tine of the canal and in the vicinity of Dixmude the Germans are moving north. Elsewhere along the line in the north the allies are gaining ground.

Severe fighting is also in progress on the right wing where the armies operating from Toul and Nancy have made material progress, pushing their line through the Mortmare forest which lies south of Thiaucourt and about equally distant from St. Mlhlel to the German fortress of Metz. In this vicinity the German losses have been so great that they demanded an armistice to bury their dead. Because he believed that this Was merely a ruse to grain time until German re-inforcements could reach the scene the French general commanding refused to grant it.'

Germans Fail to Gain.

While the Germans maintain their hold on the right bank of the Meuse at St. Mihiel and have mounted powerful batteries on the site of captured Ft. Camp De Romains, they have been unable to gain any ground elsewhere and their boasts of gains in the vicinity of the great French fortress of Verdun are officially denied.

The French army sent from Belfori to attack the Germahs who were proceeding from upper Alsace to attack that city are reported to be steadily advancing north from Altkirch, which was taken by a series of violent bayonet charges.

The officials at military headquarters here were tonight supremely confident that there were no weak spots in the line and that the enormous losses being sustained by the Germans in the north and on the eastern frontier must soon compel a German retreat and again permit the allies to resume the offensive all along the line.

JURY HIES FFI VERDICT

Continued from Page One.

elded that Mrs. Carman killed Mrs Bailey, even by mistake, having meant the bullet for her husband, she must be found guilty in the first degree, if the shooting was premeditated. The same applied as to second degree murder or manslaughter.

Mrs. Carman retired to an ante room with the jail warden sooh after the Jury began its deliberations. Mrs. Powell, her sister, Mrs. Corby, her niece and Dr. Carman remained in the court room. Her aged father, Piatt Conklin, did not return to the court room after leaving at dinner time.

At midnight the jury was still out with no sign of a verdict The only sign from the Jury room was a request for the minutes. The belief grew among a big crowd still packing the court house that the situation was not as favorable to Mrs. Carman as her attorneys professed.

Masterful Pleas Made.

The arguments by the attorneys began shortly before 2 o'clock this afternoon. Attorney Graham, for the defense, was the first to speak. Though he had told the court that he would complete his summing up in two hours it was after 5 o'clock when he sank into his chair, exhausted by a great effort in Mrs. Carman's behalf. After a recess of a few minutes. District Attorney Smith began his address. He, too, had promised to confine his summing up to two hours, and he did so, but in that time, he gave a masterly account of the prosecution's efforts to convict Mrs. Carman of murder in the first degree.

More than three hundred persons jammed In the little high-ceilinged court room, hung on the every word of the two men.'

During the long appeals not a sound disturbed the speakers. The situation was as tense as any ever portrayed in fiction. W^hen Graham finished his appeal with an especially dramatic climax there was scarcely a dry eye in the court room. Men and women alike wiped tears away as the attorney sank in his chair exhausted by his supreme effort. "There are two doors through which you can send this woman," Graham cried, facing the Jury Just before he completed his summing up of the defense. "You hold her life and happiness and the happiness of her loved ones in the hollow of your hands. One door is over there. Through that door she will go back to the little jail and from there she will go up the Hudson to that great prison from where so few return.

Pleads for Defendant.

"Through the other door—a larger, broader and better door—you can send

her home, where she can re-eetablish herself in the tender relations of mother and wife. "God .works in mysterious ways some times. It may be that he vlalted this sorrow upon this woman aa & warning to wives and mothers against be ing suspicious of husbands and fath era. If this be no then we accept the burden but we leave to you, gentlemen, in all confidence the life and future happiness of this woman. All I ask of you itf that you give a deci-. sion on the evidence as Introduced."

A few feet away, Mrs. Carman, grasping her daughter Elizabeth tightly, field her handkerchief to her eyes as her body shook convulsively. Dr. Carman, sitting nearby, was sobbing audibly, his head bowed. When the court announced a recess, Mrs. Carman's aged parents, her sister and husband and child gathered around the attorney and offered him their thanks for his effort to have Mrs. Carman set free.

Smith's final appeal was almost as replete with oratorical thrills as that of his rival lawyer. "I have finished with the case," he said. "I ask you to conjure up no mental pictures of an orphan child. Should I choose to do so, I have a subject In the beautiful daughter of the murdered woman. Madeline Bailey is an orphan in fact, not in fancy. Her mother, whom she loved, fell before a. murderess' bullet. "But I do ask yon to form a mental picture, but let the picture be that of blindfolded Justice, standing with scales evenly balanced. "Be Just to this woman. Judge ye all men by their acts and do injustice to none. 'Gentlemen, I have finished."
