Chief Justice White, who read the

the undoubted power to prevent inter-

f. l.. Small to Hang January Is for
Wife Murder.

Ossipee, N. H, Jan. 9.-Frederick
L. Small was sentenced to death by
hanging on January Is, 1918, by
Judge Kivel today.
Small was found guilty of first de-
gree murder last night by a jury
which stipulated capital punishment.
The trial furnished one of the most
grewsome legal displays in the history
of New Hampshire. The head of Mrs.
Florence Arlene Small, for whose
murder Small was on trial, was one
of the exhibits placed before the jury
by the state.
Small was accused of having muir
dered his wife and then setting fire to
their bungalow by means of chemicals
and a mechanical arrangement. The
charred body was found by neighbors.
Twenty thousand dollars joint insur-
ance Is alleged to have supplied the
motive.
Judge John Kivel asked Small if he
had anything to say why sentence of
death should not be pronounced in ac-
cordance with the verdict of the jury,
which was returned last night.
Il have, your honor" said Small.
81 know no more about the crime than
you do. 1 am an innocent person"

Hearst Answers Charge.
New York, Jan. 9.-Charging that
the International News Service was
underselling it on news of the Euro
pean war. the Associated Press has
brought suit against the International
News Service and has obtained from
Federal Judge Hand an order to show
cause why the International News
Service should not be enjoined from
underselling news gathered by the AS
ISOLATED Press in Europe. The order
is returnable in the United States
court here on January 10.
Fred J. Wilson, general manager of
the International News Service, issued
the following statement tonight in
connection with the action of the As
ISOLATED Press:
This is just another chapter in the
long and unsuccessful attempts of the
Associated Press to destroy its chief
rival and to fasten its monopoly of
news upon the reading people of the
country.
I'VE shall fight this latest attack as
we have fought the others. 1t will in
deed be a sad day for the country
when, it is brought under the thraldom
of this despotic control.
THE main grievance of the Asso-
ciated Press seems to be that the In
ternational News Service uses news
gathered from early publications of
Associated Press dispatches Every
newspaper man knows that every
press service uses news in that wav
and has the right to do so. If that is
an offense. the Associated Press is an
old offender"

DIG UP MORE CLUES
Man Writes He Saw Man Leaving
Slain Modefs Apartment.

Pittsburg, Pa, Jan. 9.-The move
ment to clear the name of Bernard
W. Lewis of the suspicion that he
murdered Maize Colbert at her apart
ment in Philadelphia before taking his
life in Atlantic City last week, took
form today when a number of his
close friends, including his attorney,
Robert K. Dodds. began the investiga-
ton of a report that two men had
seen man leaving the woman's apart
ment shortly after the murder was
believed to have been committed.
This story come to James F. Nc
Fadyan, general manager of the Union
Stock yards in letter from Cleveland.
the writer asking that his name be
kept secret until he could have an op-
portunity to see a photograph of
Lewis and thus determine whether the
man he and his companion saw leaving
the place was the Pittsburg broker,
The photograph was taken to Cleve-
land this morning by a representative
of the Lewis family. Lewis's friends
declare that he was not vicious and
that he killed himself after learning
that warrant had been issued for his
arrest because he could not endure
disgrace.

of what American Am bassador Gerdru
said mt the recent banquet OF the
American Association of Commerce

in these dispatches as declaring that
the American ambassador must have
lost all sense of diplomatic propr1ety
in thus meddling in Germanys IN
ternal affairs"
Other leaders of the Won .ReventloW
type were seid to be urging demand
by Germany for Gerard's recall, on the
ground that his expressions of opinion
as to the continuance in office OF GER
tain German leaders of the conctlia-
tory group exceeded his prerogatives.

which the Won Tirpitz adherents VIC

ciaI press bureau and sent out by wire
less read:
Never since the beginning of the

fate is directed by such men as my
friend the chancellor and Doctor Helf-
ferich and Doctor Solf, by Adm1rals

Ambassador Gerard by the American
Association of Commerce and Trade
as an opportunity to discuss peace
again. 1t declares that the banquet
had unusual importance and expresses
almost enthusiasm at the cordial re-
lations existing between the United
States and Germany as it found them
in the expressions of the speakers.
Newspa pers declare that Germany
will welcome every support America
may lend to the peace movement so
long as it does not attempt Ito mar
row or foil the acquisition of peace
worthy of Germany and the efforts of
her fighters"
In it's comment on the dinner, the
BoerSen Zeitung says that 1t is nat
ural that Germany now looks differ
emily upon an America (which has
recovered from what may be termed
its carouse over it's rich war gains
than on an America which Germany
vainly tried to arouse to as ympathe-
tic understanding of her situation.
The paper warns Americans, however,
that they must not expect the German
people to be deeply grateful for peace
efforts which it says are actually in
spired by Americas own desires and
needs for peace"

of continued new buying support Bears
made capital of estimates that Argentina
had 10 750, 600 bushels available for export,
whereas, the trade in general had recently
assumed that the amount would not exceed
5000. 900 bushels. Opening prices which
ranged from IS to 1Ye higher, with May
S1.55, were followed by setback to well
under yesterdays finish
British government action in Withholding
all information as to prices at Liverpool
tended somewhat to deter speculative buy
ing here. Reports regarding the Euro
pean visible supply were also unobtainable.
The Close was weak, 11ac to 2szc net lower
with May at S1S6% to $1.S7 and July at
$1.51 to $1.51H.
CORN-Corn reacted with wheat Trade
was light. After opening &c off to 1se
up the market scored a slight general ad
vance, but then underwent a material sag.
Advices of big crops damages in Argen-
tina led afterward to a decided rally, which,
however, did not prove of a lasting charac-
ter. The close was unsettled at &c to 1Ac
