Miss Katherine Force. sister of Miss

Miss Katherine Force, sister of Miss Madeleine Force. the 1S-year-old girl who is soon to become the bride of Papa John Jacob Astor, is still at Mrs. Harry Glover's house in Fair field. To say that she is 'tstill'' at Mrs. Glover's house is putting it cor rectly. So is Mrs. Glover, when any reporters are around.
 In the meantime the AStOr yacht is around in the Sound somewhere giving spasms to hardworking news Fpapermen and hustered clergyn1en, the former seeing visions of fine stories" of the wedding, and the lat ter trembling in expectation of being suddenly called upon to tie the kn Jt.
 Despite several hard jolts given to the rumor that the marriage is to be legalized in Fairfield, the story still persists to that effect. Mrs. Force, mother of the bride-to-be, left Mrs. Glovers house last evening. Miss Force remained behind, although she was originally scheduled to go.
 Rev. Allan E. Beeman, the only Episcopal minister in the place today stated that he had not been asked to perform the Astor-F'orce wedding and that the use of his church est PauPs) had not been requested. As an Epis- copa1 minister. he said, he could not and would not perform the ceremony

MURDER TRIAL
 OF BELLBOY IS
 STARTED TODAY
Former Hartford Youth in
 State of Collapse on En- tering Courtroom
Judge Denies Motion for Adjournment on Part of
 Counsel for Defense.
(Specia. from United Press.)

Especial from United PreSS.)
 New York, Aug. 21.-When Paul Geidel, the Hartford, Conn, bellboy accused of the murder of aged Will liam H. Jackson. in the Hotel Iro- quois, here, on July 16, was placed on trial in the court of general sessions, today, he was in state of collapse. Two guards had to support him into the courtroom and he slipped down into a chair at the counsel tables hud- dled up in a heap while he wept bit terly. His attorneys, James A. Crap and James A. Cleary, tried vainly to reaSsure him and get his nerve up but he remained a picture of abject misery throughout the entire proceed ings.
 District Attorney Whitman prose cuted in person, aided by Assistant District Attorneys Mott and Sullivan. A special panel of 150 talesmen was on hand from which to select the jury. At the opening, Gray asked for an adjournment, as one of his most was Fred Sheehan, who was released from the county prison at Scranton, Pa, at the request of Gray and Cleary, on Saturday. He was serving a six months sentence for picking pockets.
 Gray said that he had brought Sheehan to New York on Saturday night and taken him to his home where he fed him and gave him some money to meet his expenses while the trial was on. He told him to come to his office on Sunday but Sheehan failed to appear. He insisted that Sheehan was a most material wit ness as he had knowledge of the per sonal habits of the murdered man which the defense wanted brought before the jury.
 District Attorney Whitman object ed, saying the police could easily To- cate the missing witness. Judge Crane took that view and denied the mo- tion. The work of selecting the jury was then begun and this proved a tedious task as the prosecution re- fused all persons who admitted sym pathy for young person or who ob- jected to accepting an alleged con- fession to the police as truth. It was expected two days would be needed to complete the jury. Mrs. Geidel. the mother of the boy, and her daughter, were in the courthouse but were not permitted in the courtroom.

Washington, Aug 21.-Immediate te development of the vast mineral re- sources of Alaska through govern ment ownership of railroads, ships and public utilities, wharves, docks etc., and the actual mining of Alas kan coal by the government, all to be administered through board of pub lie works for the benefit of the peo- ple was the broad plan outlined In a statement in the Senate. today, by Senator Robert M. LaF'ollette, (Rep., Wis.)
 Every day makes it more evident that the American people are waglng losing fight in Alaska" the Wis consin progressive asserted. "On the one hand are the 35.000 pioneers who are risking their lives and fortunes in the exploration and prospecting of it's undiscovered resources. On the other hand are the millions of Amerl- can people to whom this great store house of natural resources belongs. Between them is the enormous pow CT of the greatest concentration of capital that the world has ever known.
 whatever evidence or lack of evil dence there may be as to the present intentions and maneuvers of corpor- ate power in Alaska, our experience with the same forces nearer home shows us that the monopoly under these same conditions IS inevitable.
 Anyone must see that the founda- tions are being laid in Wall streeet for the upbuilding of a monopoly in Alaska equal to that which controls the anthracite coal fields of Pennsyl- vania.
 They key to the whole situation is in the control of the means of trans portation. The tremendous power of freight discriminations first showed itself in the Pennsylvania anthracite fields 40 years ago when it was em- ployed ultimately by railroads own ing and operating the only lines over which the coal could be transported to the market. These coal roads dis criminated in rates, refused cars to shippers and harassed and opposed in- dividual owners until they were com pelled to sell upon such terms as the railroads cared to offer. Laws were later passed which prevented the states from securing title to these lands and this same power was used to defeat the struggle of labor to secure fair wages.
 when we have before us the his- tory of this anthracite struggle which constmrnafe ed iH the complete control of Pierpont Morgan and against American people can we expect any different result, if we permit the Nor

.AssA|LANT OF SCHOOL
TEACHER ON TRAIL

Morden, Manitoba, Oct. 24.-As
sequel to the Manitoba man-hunt that
attracted attention on both sides of
the international boundary a few
months ago, George Brown, the a.
legged assailant of the Riverdale school
teacher, will be placed on trial at the
fall assizes which began here today.
Browns alleged victim was Miss
Gladys Price, a member of promi-
nent family and young woman of
excellent reputation. According to the
testimony given at the preliminary
hearing, Brown appeared at the coun-
try school where Miss Price was en-
gagged as a teacher a short time after
she had dismissed her scholars for
the day. The man was in an intoxi-
Gated condition. After overpowering
the young woman he dragged her into
the adjacent woods and kept her 4
captive for thirty-six hours. Only
dlu6T lUc uldu Hdu ldllcH lnlO vi uuN-
en- stupor was his victim able to es-
cape and make her way to a peighbor-
ing house. She was in pitiable con-
dition and for several days 1t was
feared she would not survive the
shock.
The young woman's story aroused
the entire surrounding country and
within a few hours armed posses were
in pursuit of the alleged assailanr
The chase extended across the border
to Hannah, N. D., where Brown was
arrested and later, it is said identified
by Miss Price as the man who had
held her captive.
Miss Price, who has since become
Mrs Frank Patterson, is exnected to
be the chief witness against Brown.
In addition to the more serious charge
Brown will have to stand trial for the
attempted murder of William Adams,
a Snowflake hotel proprietor, who was
shot and seriously wounded in the
man-hunt.

According to DR.. Wiley, the three
tests of greatness in nation are
treating women right, eating more
sugar and using more soap per capita
than any other nation. DR.. John B.
McFerrin's standard for judging the
degree of civilization was the condi-
ton of the schoolhouses, the churches
and the cemeteries. These are all
very well, but as a means of judging
of a peoples enlightenment and prog
ress there is no better test than the
condition of the highways and means
of transportation.
