SMITH IS ANXIOUS
TO FACE MURDER
CHARGE IN CHICAGO
Attorneys Owen and Shinn
Are Still Fighting for
Their Client.

James H. Smith, who was convicted
of murderously assaulting Morris Ben
nett and robbing him of $3.50, is anx-
ious to go to Chicago and face the two
charges of murder against him there,
believing that he is able to clear him
self Of those crimes.
Smith Is under sentence of thirty
years in the penitentiary, having been
given the maximum penalty by Justice
Anderson in Criminal Court, No. l, and
is desirous of entering prison with
definite knowledge of his future. He
Is also impatient to begin his term
IL the Chicago authorities do not wish
to put him on trial
Attorneys Claude w. owen and George
c. Shinn, counsel for Smith, are work
ing on a clue for new evidence, and are
hopeful Of proving that their client DID
not steal $50 from Bennett, an offense
for which he received fifteen years OF
the sentence. Benefits pocketbook was
recently found near the scene Of the
assault, and the indications were that 1t
had been dropped there only few hours
before. The two lawyers have put up
stubborn fight for their client, and that
that their efforts have not yet ceased.
Smith wants to clear himself OF those
murder charges In Chicago, so that he
can begin his long sentence with the
thought that when his time is up
he will not be taken to Chicago and
today. This talk about his resisting
extradition Is foolish, as he is most
eager to go, as he knows he would be
acouitted" :" .

DELEGATES LEAVE
FOR ENDS OF EARTH
AFTER CONVENTION
Last Traces of Notable Red
Cross Conference Have
Disappeared.

The last traces Of the Ninth Inter-
national Red Cross conference disap-
peared from the Pan-American building
this morning, the furniture used during
the conference being carried away and
the thousands of accumulated printed
matter disposed of. During the con-
ference more than 100 addresses were
distributed and every delegate took
with him complete set of these papers,
leaflet and pamphlet form, showing
what the Red Cross has done in every
country in the last five years and pre-

Comment On Award.
There was considerable comment
among the delegates following the
award Of the first prize of 5000 to
DIR. Louis Lesage, of Paris, for the
huge automobile designed expressly for
the transportation of x-ray apparatus
In field operations. 1t is not question:
ed that the apparatus is as perfect as
present day science can provide Some
criticism was made on the ground of
practical utility. :. -. :
The car is huge one. It has q wheel
base much longer than even the luxur-
1ous touring cars or the huge trucks
used for delivery. The apparatus was
insured for $1,000 when sent to this
country and probably could not be re-
placed in America for less than 5000.
Some Of the delegates contended, how
ever that there would be little use for
x-ray apparatus on the field or in field
hospitals, although of undoubted utility

What Women Would Do With
the Schools

The public schools throughout the
country should be used as polling
places at the coming election. They
should also be used as places OF pub
lie assembly for the discussion OF the
issues or the current campaign.
Mrs. ]. Burton Hartman, president
OF the Women's National Wilson ana
Marshall organization, throws herselt
with characteristic enthusiasm into
a movement for the demonstrating OF
education and the education OF grown
up democracy. She says that the
present campaign should be lifted
into the fine atmosphere OF the school
houses" and In the name OF her or
ganization she calls upon the women
OF every city and town In the country
TO unite their best endeavors 10 Sc
cure for their communities this ooyi-
Gus common benefit"
Mrs. Hartman quotes Gov. Wilson
upon the theory of the wider civic
and social use Of schoolhouses as ex-
pounded by the governor al the First
National Conference on Social Center
Development, held at the University
Of Wisconsin last fall.
The rule OF the people" says MIS-.
Hartman, lis not a mere phrase Win
Gov. Wilson. BY his address at Madi'
son a year ago he called attention 10
the fact that the right OF free as
sembly or OF free speech is OF little
worth unless places are conveniently
provided In which people may meet
and speak their minds. He says that
IL the citizens are TO be the govern
ing body in this country, then they
must have common council chambers,
as aldermen have-deliberate head
quarters, as member OF congress
have"
Says Mrs. Hartmann Gov. viii
son saw the practical answer TO this
fundamental democratic need in the
movement TO make the school houses
throughout the country centers or
civic gathering. where, In coming TO
understand each others interests, we
shall find out what the common In
terest actually is"
Again, Mr.. Wilson is quoted as hav-
ing said somewhere: Il see In a
movement like this a recovery OF the
CONSTRUCTIVE dHu CTcdllNe SchAus VI
the American people"
Thus IL appears that Gov. Wilson
has entertained some very just ideas
on the subject OF the civic use OF
school houses II Is to be remarked,
by the way. that these ideas have
been held for years by this newspa-
per and have been frequently ex-
pressed In these columns.
What Is still more worthy OF re-
mark. however, is the fact that pre-
diction often made by the American
seems now about to be verified, to-
wit: that all thoroughgoing school re-
form and all the social and political
regenerations that are To come
through the wider use Of the school
houses will come only through the
initiative of women.
II Is not what Mr.. Wilson or Mr..
Roosevelt or any other public man
may say Of these matters that counts
SO much.
What counts is the sudden and In
tense inspiration of Mrs. Hartman
and women of her sort.-New York
