LESSER GIRL’S SLAYER CONVICTED AFTER 45 HOURS’ DELIBERATION LOS ANGELES, Cal., Jan. 16. —The jury in the case of Harry S. New, Jr., tried for the slaying of his sweetheart, Freda Lesser, yesterday returned a verdict of murder in the second degree. The verdict was found after the jurors had been out over forty-five hours. The verdict was returned at 11:33 o’clock this forenoon and carries a penalty of life imprisonment. New did not flinch when the verdict was read.

New was attended by his half-sister, Miss Edna Clancy, His mother, Mrs. Lulu M. Berger, was not present. The courtroom was crowded to the doors and the verdict was read under dramatic dream stan oes. The Jury had been deadlocked on the Insanity phase of the case. Soon after it went Into deliberation It was apparent that the verdict would not be reached immediately and early today it was feared a disagreement would be unavoidable. After forty-four hours Foreman Klingerman sent word to Judge Craig that they were deadlocked with little hope of reaching an agreement. When the Judge heard IClingermnn's report he told him there was no use making a report unless a verdict had been reached. It was then that he gave instructions that the Jury stay at its task until they had reached a verdict. It is understood that one or two members of the Jury wanted a verdict of manslaughter imposed. The majority of them, however, held from the outset of the deliberations for a conviction on a second-degree murder charge. The Jury submitted a recommendation that New be committed to a state institution for Insane for observation as to his mentality. Lecompte Davis, senior counsel for New, announced immediately after the verdict that he would file a motion for a new trial and failing in that, will take an appeal. The first ballot, taken ten minutes after the Jury retired at 5:45 o’clock Tuesday afternoon to begin its deliberations, was eight for conviction on first degree murder, carrying the death penalty, one for second degree murder, embracing the life sentence, and three for acquittal on the grounds of insanity, with recommendation of confinement in an asylum. Ten minutes later another ballot was taken. It showed six for conviction of first degree murder, three for second degree murder, two for an acquittal because of insanity and one for an acquittal outright. Last night the Jury, after thirty hours’ wrangling, stood nine to three for conviction of murder in the second degree. The possibility of an acquittal on the grounds of insanity had been eliminated. This morning the vote was ten to two for a verdict of murder in the second degree. But two men still stood out stubbornly for a manslaughter decision. Finally the final ballot was taken and the verdict rendered today was agreed upon. As the last vote was coanted and it was found all had agreed to second degree murder, the jurors’ applause could be heard to the far doors of the courtroom. Immediately the buzzer calling for the bailiff sounded and the weary crowd in the courtroom came suddenly to alert attention. As the jury filed in there was silence so tense and dramatic that even Judge Gavin W. Craig was seen to show the effect of its strain. His voice was clear when he asked: “Gentlemen, have you reached a verdict in this case?" Foreman Klingerman replied that they had, and the verdict which will send Harry New to prison for life was read. New was arrested when he drove to the Los Angeles central police station the night of July 4 with the body of Freda Lesser In his mother's automobile. He later told the police how he hart killed the young woman when she refused to marry him and to become the mother of a baby she was soon to bring Into the world. Counsel for New throughout maintained that he, the alleged son of United States Senator Harry S. New of Indiana, was mentally deficient. Numerous witnesses from Indiana and depositions from others living in the Hoosler state who knew the defendant, offered evidence to show that the young man was not rational. Mrs. Berger, mother of the convicted man, came here from Indianapolis as soon as she learned of the murder. She stood beside her son loyally throughout the ordeal.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.—More than 500 indictments and prosecutions of profiteers have been secured by the department of justice in its campaign against the high cost of living, it was announced yesterday. The maximum sentence handed down was $5,000 fine and five months' imprisonment. The department announced that the campaign for prosecution of profiteers will broaden as agents are released from duty in running down alleged reds. Licenses of four wholesale dealers on charges of receiving excessive prices for sugar were revoked by the department of Justice today. The concerns affected are: Henry Glatter, New York City, and H.

GOODRICH RAPS FEDERAL LAWS There is too much talk about government price-fixing and too much government interference with private business, too much futile effort to set aside the law of supply and demand, Gov. Goodrich told the National Association of Builders’ Exchanges at the closing session of their convention at the Claypool hotel yesterday. He adroitly nibbled at polities and by indirection lambasted the national administration. High prices, the governor declared, for the most part, are the natural result of the war, which destroyed men ano wealth, and the present high cost of living Is but part of the price every generation which goes to war has to pay. The convention was adjourned after Savannah, Ga., was selected for the 1921 convention, when Memphis, Tenn., withdrew, announcing it would seek the convention In 1922. • “I shall be glad when all these governmental agencies created to win the war are set aside and the country gets down to normal," satd the governor. “We were forced to resort to autocratic methods to defeat autocracy, but, the war being over, if these persist and are continued then, while we have been victorious in the war, defeat will come to the nation in the end." SCORES EXCESS PROFITS TAX. The excess profits tax came In for denunciation, the governor saying it should be materially reduced If not eliminated because It Is paid by the ultimate consumer. He said that the people of Indiana paid the $4,000,000 excess profit taxes collected from the Indiana coal operators last year. The governor urged production and the elimination of any agreement, practice or device which cuts down the production of labor. When the governor concluded Edward A. Roberts of Cleveland asked permission of the chair to read to the governor the chief resolution passed by the convention this morning so that he might see the convention was in hearty accord with his suggestion. The resolution is as follows: “Whereas, the unusual conditions Induced by the world war and subsequent demands of the building industry both in materials and labor have brought about the highest price level ever known, and "Whereas, it is desirable to foster and return to more normal conditions in all ways possible, thus promoting the best interests of our industry and rendering basic conditions more stable and satisfactory, therefore, be It URGE ALL POSSIBLE PRODUCTION. “Resolved, That the National Association of Builders' Exchanges strongly urges and recommends that the aim of its members in 1920 shall be to promote the utmost poslble production on the part of the manufacturers and lajfor as

ONLY INTEREST IN CASE IS OFFICIAL, SAYS LOCAL MAN NEW YORK, Jan. 16.—Capt. John M. Weir, Indianapolis, former Judge advocate in the American camp at LeMans, France, yesterday declared his only interest in the case against Capt. Karl Detzer had been in an “official capacity.” Weir denied Detzer’s intimation he had been instrumental in the alleged frameup against the accused officer.

Testifying for the prosecution In rebuttal at Detzer’s court-martial at Governor’s Island, for alleged inhuman treatment of military prisoners while he was head of the department of criminal investigation in the camp at LeMans, Weir declared he had no reason to hold any grudge against Detzer! Weir said he did not even know the department was under Investigation until he was called on by a superior officer to give legal advice. At the morning session of the military court Lieut. L. D. Mahan, Washington, reiterated his charges that Detzer had attempted to pass all blame for conditions in the D. C. I. to* him.

Do You Know Why Red Blooded Men Are Successful? There are just two kinds of men -7the weak, thin blooded, half sick, discouraged kind, who lack ambition, strength and vitality—and the red-blooded, ambitious, self-reliant men—vigorous and successful. The strong, red-blooded, healthy men who can stand the strain of hard work, and carry heavy responsibilities, without worry or fear, are the men who succeed. Do you know why they are red blooded, full of energy and vigor? Do you know why they succeed?

There are over three million red blood corpuscles in one droplet of blood, and these red blood corpuscles carry the iron in the blood. Iron attracts oxygen, just as a magnet attracts steel. Without oxygen you cannot live. It vitalizes the blood and makes it red. rich and healthy. That’s why rea blooded men are strong, energetic, and successful. Their blood is vitalized with life-giving oxygen, and liberally supplied with the iron and eell-salts that nature must have to maintain health. REOLO produces a rapid increase in the number of red blood cells and plasma of the blood. It Increases the supply of oxygen in the blood, stimulates the nervous system, and accelerates the circulation, sending through the entire body a stream of rich, red, vitalized blood, abundantly supplied with oxygen, iron and the cell-salts that nourish and rebuild the cells.

MEAT INJURIOUS TO THE KIDNEYS Take a tablespoonful of Salts if Back hurts or Bladder bothers. We are a nation of meat caters and our blood Is filled with uric acid, says a wellknown authority, who warns us to be constantly on guard against kidney trouble. The kidneys do their utmost to free the blood of this irritating acid, but become weak from the overwork; they get sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and thus the waste is retained in the blood to poison the entire system. When your kidneys ache and feel like lumps of lead, and you have stinging pains in the back or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment, or the bladder Is irritable, obliging you to seek relief during the night; when you have severe headaches, nervous and dirzy spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or rheumatism in bad weather, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful In a glass of water before breakfast each morning and in a few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts Is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has be*n used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neutralise tho acids in urine so it is no longer a source of irritation, thus ending urinary and bladder dlaptaera. Jad Salt* is Inexpensive and can not injure; m*ka a delightful effervescent Uthla-watdr drink, and nobody can make a mistake-by taking a littla occasionally to keep She kidneys clean and active.— Adrertissiaeat.
