PICK JURY IN CARMAN TRIAL
COURTROOM CROWDED
Mineola, L. l., Oct. 19.-Crowds in
the streets of the little town of Min

speculation today. Automobiles bear

From a cell in the stone jail near

through the tunnel leading to the
courthouse.
The woman was Mrs. Florence

well-to-do Freeport physician.
The crowd in and about the court
house was animated, excited. Mrs.
Carman, attorneys and Presiding
Justice Kelby were solemn and still
The crowd was about to witness
the staging of gripping drama in
which mystery, jealousy and death
play their parts.
Mrs. Carman was facing trial for
her life, charged with the murder of
Mrs. Louise Bailey, who was shot
down in DR.. Carman's Office on the
night of June 80 when she called
there as a patient.
Gowned plainly but becomingly in
a blue suit and wearing a white shirt
waist and small hat, adorned with
black and white ostrich plume, Mrs.
Carman entered the courtroom with
a deputy sheriff at 1912 o'clock. Be
yond a slight paleness, the woman
who is accused of murder looked re-
markedly well and did not show any
signs Of her long confinement in Jail.
Mrs. Carman has admitted she

AS the case was discussed today the
opinion was generally expressed that
Mrs. Carman would be acquitted.
Even though she might be guilty,
there were few who believed twelve
men could be found who would SEN

was hers in earlier years.
Every train entering MineOla today
carried a crowd of curious anxious to
be present at the trial. And not only
did trains bring them but they came
in automobiles from all parts of Long
Island and from New York.
A line of automobiles more than a
block long was ranged down the
street from the little courthouse be-

Soil Movement Of Water.

The term texture when applied to
the soil refers to the size of the soil
particles. Generally speaking. there
are three main classes of soil, based
on texture, sand. silt and clay. and all
productive soils are. as Il rule. COM
posed of combinations Of the above
classes.
The amount Of movement and the
rate of movement of soil moisture are
governed to quite an extent by texture.
In sand we find that the action is
rapid. but lasts but Il short time. On
the other hand. the movement in clay
is very slow, but the water travels
through a much greater distance. In
soils Of medium texture the action is
intermediate throughout. In the aver
age soil movement Of water is confined
to q few feet, but in some of the fine
textured soils it may travel a consid-
cradle distance.

tended that he should have seven du-

was referred to the cadi of the nearest

his decision:

LAS a result of the two elections in
1910 the Liberals have managed to
reduce the authority previously pos
sessed by the lords. The latter are now
only able successfully to reject a bill
on two occasions. If the same bill Is
submitted to them during the third
consecutive year and again rejected
the bill is then ent straight to the
king for his signature. after which it
becomes law.
The parliament act-as the meas
ure was called-was passed in 1911,
and the following year witnessed the
introduction Of another home rule bill.
This was passed by the commons
and thrown out by the lords. The
same result occurred when the bill

the movement. Let us now examine
the arguments both for and against
| Irish home rule.
Ulster, the center of the contrO-
versy and one of lreland's foul prov
inces. is situated in the northeastern
| part Of the country. More than half
Of it's inhabitants are resolutely OPP
posed to home rule, but in the other
three provinces there is an Overwhelm-
ing majority in favor of it. When it
is added that nearly all the home
rulers are Roman Catholics and nearly
all the opponents OF home rule are
Irotestants you get the most impor-
tant bone of contention between the
two partieS-that concerning religion.
The N~ationalistS maintain that their
rights We're filched from them by
treachery in $500. when they became
part of the United Kingdom. and that
England's rule ever since has been
t%yrannical and oppressive and that
they could themselves govern their
country far more efficiently and eco
nomically than is being done at the
present time.
ION the other hand. the Unionists
claim that the most prosperous part
OF Ireland is Ulster itself and that
nearly all the big industries are cen.

Of the present disturbance. We know
that the Clsterites refuse to accept self

clash is deep rooted. dating back many
years. It is this which George H. Bell
Of London. who studied the situation
FIRST hand, clearly explains. He says:
In order fully to explain the present
crisis it will be necessary briefly to
mention the two great campaigns
which have already been conducted on
behalf Of home rule-one in 1SS5-G and
the other in 1928. That they We're un-
successful is apparent from the strife
which is now in existence.
GIadstone's Fight.
1.-THE Irish Nationalist have been
agitating for home rule for forty years,
but it was not until 1855 that the Lib
eral party in Great Britain. under the
leadership Of Gladstone, commenced of
dcially to advocate their cause. The
Conservatives have consistently OPP
posed any such power being granted to
Ireland. But, although from the home
rule standpoint Gladstone made Il mag
nifcent fight for the Nationalist. the
adoption of their policy rent his own
party in twain. and some of his best
men, including the late Joseph Cham
berlain, ever after fought with the
Conservatives. At first the SecederS
and the Conservatives maintained sep
arate organizations, but these have
since been a~malgamated under the title
Of. the Unionist party.
"A general election was fought on
the Irish question in 1886, but the Lib
erals were hopelessly beaten. At the
following election in 1892 Gladstone

Of forty in the house OF commons to
