SPANIEL FOUND GUILTY IF
 MURDER
Slayer of Colonel Butler Is Sentenced To Five Years Imprisonment. New Trial Or Appeal To Be Brought.
(By Review Leased Wire).

COLEMAN, Tex, May 5.-A yer. dict of guilty of murder was returned tonight by the jury in the case of liar " J. Spannell, charged with the kill ing of Lieut.. Colonel NJ. c. Butler, and punishment was fixed at five years Imprisonment.
 Spannell almost collapsed when the verdict was read. Counsel for the de fense announced a motion for a new trial would be filed immediately and if not granted, an appeal would be taken. The plea for reversal, they said, would be based specifically up- on the refusal of the court to sustain the defense's plea of former acquit- tall"
 Spannell was indicted for killing his wife and Lieut.. Colonel Butler at Alpine. July 20, 1916. The charge of killing his wife, Mrs. Crystal Holland Spannell. was tried at San Angelo last February on a change of venue. Spannel was acquitted and the case against him for killing Butler was brought to Coleman county. The tri- al began Monday. April 23.
 Testifying in his own behalf, Span nell said Butler showed undue atten- tion to Mrs. Spannell, despite several warnings and promises to cease these attentions. On the evening of the double shooting, Spannell testified, Butler insulted Mrs. Spannell in a bath room of the Hotel at Alpine. He took Butler into an automobile with his wife and after short trip de- manded an explanation. In the en- suing altercation several shots were fired by both Butler and Spannell. The shot that killed his wife, Span nell declared, was fired by Butler.
 Spannell declared he fired in self defense, Butler being the aggressor.

No War of Conquest

Tt is not a war of conquest. It is a war where France and her allies wish to acquire territory. It is a war for humanity and democracy That is why, in answer to the call of the speakers you have heard here, belong ing to your own nation, you will stand together to enter this war to help France an her allies to fight to avenge the soldiers of the Marne, who fought for right and justice. You will come and join the ranks of the people who have fought for three years against Germany. All the citizens who are ready to fight for justice go to the battlefields of liberty. That is where was conceived the greatness of Wash ington.
 AS one of the speakers a few min utes ago said: No man has a right to die for himself; no man has a right to live for himself; he owes his life to liberty and democracy

JUAREz CELEBRATES FIFTY-FIFTH BATTLE
 ANNIVE VERSARy
(By Review Leased Wire)

JUAREZ, May 5.-Mexican govern ment troops tramped through the dust blown streets here today in celebra' tion of the 55th anniversary of the battle of Pueblo fought against the French invading forces on May 5, 1862 "Cinco de Mayo" a national fiesta day throughout the republic, was made the occasion of a double cele- bration here today, as the inaugura- tion of President Carranza on May 1 was celebrated together with the his toric anniversary.
 Two thousand troops, in command of General Jose Carlos Murguia marched to the martial music of drum and trumpet, military bands played throughout the day in the plazas and the city and federal official spoke an imporvised platform in the shadow of the old mission church.
 The town was decorated with red, white and green bunting, and Mexican flags. The German red, white and black flag with its double eagle was the only foreign flag shown today. It was unfurled fro mthe flagstaff at the German consulate throughout the day. Tonight Juarez was illuminated for the fiesta and a ball was held in the Juarez theatre. The celebration will continue throughout tomorrow.

NEW YORK. May 5.-The market fluctuated in irreeular and uncertain n'anner. There was continuance of Hnnidation and speculative selling with the buying for the most part be- inc in the nature of a scattered short covering. Renorts are so conflicting that the exact status of affairs in Rpssia and the central powers is not ohtairahle which is having much to do with causine indicision in nearly all fields. The feature of things talk en in coniunction with the fact that licuidation has not vet run its course makes it appear stronglv that very lit- tie is to be exDected of the long side of the stock market at the present ex- cept perhaps occasional rallies grow ing out of short covering. So much speculative selling has been indulged in that the position on the short side of the account is gradually becoming unwieldy.
