DON'T LEE MILLIONS STARVE

Conceive, if you can, the condition
of country in which prices are
quoted of elm bark and grass roots as
articles of food; where the ration for
a day, to save man, woman or child
from death by starv atioD, consists of
a small bowl Of soup in which the
grain is to the water as one to one
hundred; where the hungry of to- day
must look forward to hungrier to-
morrows and, millions of them, to
death by starvation as the only posi-
BILE end; where effort is impossible,
horrible suffering constant, the walls
of children insistent, hideous wretch
edness all prevailing.
All advices from kiangpeh, the
famine-stricken district GO, 600 square
miles of it, of China, agree in pictur-
ing prevailing conditions as indie
scribably awful. All agree in placing
the present daily death roll in the
thousands, with the certainty of huge
increase as thu weary weeks drag on.

TRIAL OF BINGER HERMANN
Defense Submits Its Prayers to the
Court


Court.
Washington, April 19-The defense
has submitted it's prayers to the court
in the trial of Binger Hermann,
charged with destroying public rec
ords. The main contention of the de-
Tense is that the jury should be
charged that there is no evidence t
show that Mr.. Hermann had any con
nection with the alleged Hyde-Bensol
land fraud conspiracy. Another con-
tention is that in order to convict four
things must be found by the jury
First, that one or more Of the con-
spiracies alleged must be found to
exist; second, that the defendant was
in some manner connected with one
or more of such conspiracies; third,
that there was something in the books
destroyed that would have tended to
show the defendants connection with
the alleged conspiracies; fourth, that
he destroyed the books to keep secret
this connection.
Considerable attention was given in
the prayers to the exact construction
which should be given to the word
fraudulent as it is used in the stat
ute under which Mr.. Hermann is be-
ing tried
