attorneys. He appeared calm and fol-
lowed closely all the proceedings. The
smile which had characterized him
ever since the day of his arrest, even
on the fateful night when he was
thrice strung up to a tree by Vigi-
lantes in an attempt to make him
confess to the kidnapping, was miss
ing today.
Among the spectators in the court
room were Mr.. and Mrs. ]. Holland
Keet, father and mother of the kid
mapped baby, and Mr.. and Mrs. w. r.
Piersol, father and mother of the ac-
cused, and his three sisters.
At noon the task of securing the
special panel of thirty men from
which to choose the jury had been
completed, and it was announced that
the opening statements by counsel for
the state and the defense will be
made tomorrow morning. Judge
Skinker announced that the defense
its challenges after receiving the
states challenges. Exception to this
was made by Attorney Page, who
wanted more time. The exception
wS9 overruled by the court.
Two Jurors Had Opinions.
Twenty-Five of the regular panel
qualified for the panel from which the
remaining eight were taken from the
special panel. All the others were
excused.
The two men on the regular panel
not qualifying were Lee Lacy and
William Pruitt. Lacy said he had
talked with witnesses for the defense
and from these conversations he had
formed an opinion as to the guilt or
innocence of the accused. Pruitt said
he also had formed an opinion in the
case as a result of what he had reod
in newspapers and from talks with
various persons and that evidence to
the contrary would be required to
change his opinion.

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, Oct. S-CORN-Widespre kill
ing frosts had only a slight bullish effect
today on the corn market. The fact that
the government crop report was due this
afternoon tended to make buyers cautious.
Besides, some uncertainty existed regard
ing the outcome of a conference here this
week regarding maximum prices. altho
opinion in general leaned to the view that
the conference would make no radical
change If any ut all. Opening quotations
which ranged from the same as Satur-
days finish to &c higher with December
at $1.ST% to $119 and May at $1.15H to
$1.15a4, were followed by moderate set
back.
Later the market took fresh upward
swing on account of covering by shorts
who were evening up to be prepared for
any surprise in the government crop re-
port The close was firm, Ac to 11sc
net higher at $1.19A to $1.20 December and
$115k to $116 May.

Trade was for the most part local.

continued to sag, the range extending from

A decline in liberty bonds from last weeks
final quotation of 99.74 to 99.5S was almost
the only interesting feature of today's early
trading on the stock exchange.
Changes in standard shares were limited
to fractional gains and losses being about
equally divided. United States Steel and
several other equipment issues again de-
noted moderate pressure. Specialties, In
Guiding Oils and Tobaccos, yielded 1 to x
points and rails were inclined to ease.

CHAPTER CXXX.
Bob Henderson had bought a summer
home down on Long Island, and was
going to give a house party over Easter
Sunday. l was excited and delighted
Carol had been invited and was to take
Tom and me down in his ear. l had a
lovely new dress | never had worn and
some sport things for mornings. We
were to go on Friday and stay until
Monday. Tom and the others who must
get to business could go up on the train,
and the rest of us go in some time
during the day.
The weather was perfect. We had a
delightful ride down, and the house Bob
had bought was simply wonderful. A
low, rambling yellow brick house some
thing after the Elizabeth style, with an
immense lawn and a garage. We all
went into eetasies over it. Would Tom
ever earn enough so could have such
a home, / thought, enviously.
That night we did little but eat and
look over the house and grounds. Dinner
was served in the dining room but we
were to breakfast in the dearest little
breakfast room; all willow furniture
and gay eret0nnes. Claire Henderson
had perfect taste, and she had spent
much time and oOdles Of money to fur
Eish her new home.

Tom and 1 had the loveliest bedroom
with adjoining bath. The furniture here
too was wicker and white enamel. The
rug and hangings were Of violet ere

were of the same delicate shade. Even
the shade for the lamps, and the shield
for the stand telephone blended with
the promise to take Carols tip on the
hangings. On the bathroom floor was
rug with a violet border, and all the
towels were monogramed in that color.

PoPB's PEACE PROPOSAL

To the Editor: There has been a
great deal in the papers lately about
the pope's peace proposal, and the
many opinions of our, and the allied
governments as to the proper reply,
tonight's news containing an article
about President Wilson framing q re-
ply, etc, etc.
Now in the interest of patriotism
and the common good / would like to
know what all ,-ls fuss is about2
We all know that the pope is rather a
renowned parsonage, but with all due
respect to him and all that he stands
for, l for one cannot see why our pres
ident or. king of any allied nation fight
ing against Germany, should take any
more notice of the pope's appeal than
that of any other individual. He only
represents the head of a world wide
religious institution. Represents the
head of no government whatsoever, and
yet they all seem to sit up and take
notice as tho the voice of God had
suddenly burst forth from heaven, and.
they all stand trembling with fear.
Personally, l think the allied govern
ments took the right stand in refusing

Brief Explanation of
Canadian Politics
100000 German Votes

Ottawa. Canada, Aug. 23.-To define
Canadian political designations in Am
erican terms, the liberal would be a
democrat in the United States. The
conservative would be a republican
Party organizations are more rigid in
Canada than they are now in the Unit
ed States but in both the liberal and
conservative parties there is the natur-
al grouping of progressive and reac-
tionary elements.
Both party organizations have been
hard hit in the fight over the conserip-
tion issue which will culminate in the
general election next fall. The anti
conscriptionist liberal party (the outs)
under Laurier s leadership are going
into the fight with the solid support of
the province of Quebed. Quebec re-
turns sixty five seats to the house of
commons. Conservatives concede that
Laurier will control at least sixty of
them. Quebec is the "solid SOUTH of
Canada.
There are 100000 Germans and Aus
trians in Canada, chiefly located in
western provinces. Public opinion is
that this vote will be almos. solidly lib.
eral. Along with this vote there will be
what conservatives call the "slacker
vote' or the support of men who have
not enlisted. This win be important
without question. Laurier too has a
certain advantage in that fact that
over 100000 of the most progressive
and aggressive of Canada s men are in
war duty in Europe. Their strength
would ba GtFOpnlu Mt
While the Canadian soldier can vote,
previous efforts along that line have
shown the difficulties of conducting an
election along the fighting front are
tremendous. But twenty per cent of
the soldier vote of British Columbia
was cast and counted in a recent pro-
vincial election.
1t is upon these forces, the French
Canadian vote, the alien, the "slack-
err and the "dyed in the wool" lib
eral party man, that Sir Wilfrid bases
his hope of success.
On the conservative side it is freely
admitted that the outlook for success is
not the brightest. Yet Borden has many
sources of strength. He has behind him
far more united party than Laurier,
Early in the campaign proposal for
a coalition government was proposed
by Laurier but refused by him. Now
there is very strong talk of unionist
government made up of conservatives
and twin the war" liberals.
This is the line up in Canada. They
have brands of political hookum over
there that have never been smoked on
this side of the lakes and every pipe
is going to be put to it, full blast.
