‘LEGS' DIAMOND IS ACQUITTED OF KIDNAPING Freed of Charge After Jury Deliberates Less Than Two Hours. BY THOMAS G. FORD United Pres* Staff Correspondent TROY, N. Y., July 15.—Jack flegs> Diamond's sixteen-year career as a racketeer was as bright as ever today, for he had defeated New York state's most imposing attempt to put him behind bars. It was "Legs" twenty-fifth arrest, and he had been convicted only on his first arrest. A Jury of solid Rensselaer county citizens acquitted him Tuesday night after deliberating less than two hours on evidence offered in a one-day trial. Os two entirely different accounts of the gangster’s movements on the night of April 15-16, the jury chose to believe the one told by Diamond’s friends—who placed him at an Albany hotel—to the one related by Grover Parks, the Cairo truckman, whom he was accused of kidnaping and torturing. Now Diamond is free on $50,000 bail to do as he pleases until Sept. 15, when some action may be taken on the four indictments still remaining against him in the Parks kidnaping. Since the evidence involved virtually is the same as that presented in his fast-moving trial before Justice James C. Cropsey. the New York gang leader apparently has little to fear, at least in Rensselaer county. Spectators broke into a spontaneous ovation when the white-haired Jury foreman announced the verdict “not guilty." Tne Jury had deliberated 1 hour 62 minutes. Diamond, who had been sitting in the courtroom apparently nervous and under tension, displayed no Emotion except to grasp the arm of his attorney, Daniel H. Prior. The racketeer’s plump v/ife, Alice, whom he deserted for red-haired Marion Roberts, show girl, ran from behind the railing and kissed her husband. The state’s counsel, John T. Cahill, deputy attorney-general, and Henry Epstein, seemed astonished. MRS. CLARKE IS NAMED TO CITY PLAN BOARD Prominent Democratic Woman Successor to Mrs. Lelia Taylor. Mrs. Grace Julian Clarke, Democrat, today succeeded Mrs. Lelia Taylor, Republican, as a member of the city plan commission. The appointment was made by Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan following recent resignation of Mrs. Taylor because of impaired health. She had served on the board under three city administrations. Mrs. Clarke is the wife of Charles B. Clarke, prominent in Democratic politics, and is a daughter of the late George W. Julian, former congressman.

PHARMACIST CROP SHOWS DECREASE

Fewer Take Exams; Return to Filling Prescriptions Is Predicted. Pharmacists of the future may forsake sandwich selling, soda dispensing and the mercantile business generally and return to the business of filling prescriptions, it was predicted today by Oscar E. Russell, Elkhart, president of the pharmacy examining board. The state board is in session at the statehouse for the July examinations for the embryo druggists. Only ninety are taking the work, as compared to 125 to 150 ordinarily. The board members say the depression has hit the schools and decreased the graduate crop. There are four Indiana schools, Indianapolis, Purdue, Notre Dame and Valparaiso. "I believe that in the future druggists may operate small prescription pharmacies and leave the business end to the big chains, whose drug business is but a small part of their general merchandising,” Russell declared. “This development will depend largely upon co-operation of the doctors. It seems, however, that doctors generaily are abandoning their own prescription filling, and Elks Aid Legion By Times Special ANDERSON, Ind., July 15.

FASCISTS FLAIL ALLEGED LIES IN ENCYCLICAL Mussolini, Aids Answer Scathing Denunciation by Pope Pius. BY THOMAS B. MORGAN United Pres* Staff Correspondent ROME, July 15— Alleged lies in the recent encyclical of Pope Pius XI on the Fascist state and its controversy with the Holy See were protested in a statement issued by the directorate of the Fascist party. The directorate, meeting under the presidency of Premier Benito Mussolini, issued its anticipated reply to the pope’s scathing encyclical, sent secretly by trusted messenger to Paris for distribution to the world. The reply protested alleged lies in the encyclical which "defamed the Grand Balilla (youth's) organization to which thousands of Fascists are giving their activities.” The directorate passionately urged all loyal Fascists to work for the success of the Balilla. Plans for the development of the Balilla youth organization were approved for the coming year. Three major declarations were outlined in the Fascist directorate's statement with reference to Pope Pius’ encyclical. They were: 1. Protests of criticism of the Black Shirt's oath. 2. The “indignant rejection” of the pope’s statement that the Ma-

The chief ministers involved in the negotiations have had virtually no sleep or rest since last Thursday, and Chancellor Bruening ; and some of his colleagues appear i almost on the verge of a break- ! down. I The cabinet was working today ! on two decrees, W’hich were to be \ promulgated today. The first was i for the regulation of banking transi actions after the reopening of the ' banks Thursday. Experts are evolv- | ing the technical provisions of the ; decree, which will stipulate the per- | centage of savings which each de- ' positor will be permitted to withdraw, in view of the anticipated ; rush of millions to take out their entire savings. All sums required for wages and salaries will have priority. The second decree, to which the cabinet consents following the in- ; sistence of foreign financiers, notably those of the United States, w r ill establish rigid control over all purchase and sale of foreign currency in Germany. It was learned that the chief feature of this decree is a

Trading at Standstill | By'Unltcd Press NEW YORK, July 15.—Trading ; on the local foreign exchange market was practically suspended today as a result of the central European financial crisis. Dealers refused to buy or sell j German marks, which were quoted | nominally from 20.17 to 21.10 cents, the lowest rate since the currency I was stabilized. Persons desiring to ' send funds to Germany were unable to convert their money into mark.-. THE PENALTY Or CRAY HAIR Gray hair—age—slipping. All these unpleasant ideas seem to go together. Yet, it is not at all necessary. Gray j Hair often comes to a young head and ! people who have it are neither old nor incapable. But how often you hear people say, "Why, she has gray hair!” and—she is on the shelf. This penalty need no longer handicap the woman who uses Canute Water. This is a clear, spring-like water, of wonderful properties which actually restore hair to its original girlhood color. No complicated “color plan”; no danger of getting brunette shade when your hair is blonde. Not only the one kind but the one bottle is enough. It really is surprising what successful, youthifying results it gives. Apply Canute Water yourself, in the privacy of your own home. Many women in town are doing the same thing; they simply do not mention it. You need not mention it either. Just buy a bottle from any good druggist—and get rid of the “ago penalty” in gray hair. Canute Water is so safe, so scientific and sure that your dealer knows it will satisfy you; if not, he will refund your money. Sold and recommended by Hook’s Dependable Drug Stores.—Advertisement.
