WAR BABIES" AND
 RACE COMPENSATION

PERSEVERANCE, Aug. 26.-To the Editor-In an editorial headed "War and Babies" in The Empire recently, the old contention that more male than female children are born after @ war. is affirmed.
 However. if this is true, 1t is not any compensation to the race for the men killed. and instead of being TO- paration of damage it is more damage. If, at any time, more male than fe- male children were born it would not affect the then adult generation but it would disturb the numerical equilib- rum of the sexes in the next genera ton, thus creating a situation that would be just as bad as the one it was supposed to ermedy.

SOUTH BEND. Ind, May 29.-Jo-

At a late hour tonight the jury try
ing the ten deputies charged with the
murder of Roosevelt chemical plant
striker, last January. was still out. It
had retired at 4:30 in the afternoon,
when Justice Bergen had completed
his charge.
Counsel for the defense, alluding to
the testimony of Edward Conlon, the
fourteen-year-o boy who was the
chief witness for the prosecution. de-
clared that he evidently had been
coached. Conlon identified nine of the
ten deputies as men who had shot into
the crowd of strikers.
Attorney General Westcott in the
final argument. for the state demanded
a verdict of first degree murder.
when the Infamous practice of hir-
ing roaming men as strikebreakers is
stopped he said, strikes will be
bloodless and harmless.
In his charge, Judge Bergen said
there was no evidence to warrant a
first degree verdict He criticised the
sheriff for swearing the men in as depu-
ties, saying there was no law in the
statute books which sanctions such an
act.
He then directed the acquittal of John
Smith, one of the defendants, who had
not been identified, and the jury re-
tired.
