Frigar Freed by Jury
of Homicide Charge

Philadelphia, May 4. - Nineteer
minutes of deliberation sufficed the
jury in the case of Ellis d. Frigar
accused of murder in the first degree
in the killing of Edward Boland or
the Neill drive, Fairmount Park, or
the night of August %, to free the
prisoner in the Court of Oyer an6
Terminer last night. The verdict oi
acquittal established a record fol
speed in capital cases for recent
years in this county, and the oldest
court attache could not remember
when an issue was determined in a
shorter period.
Hardly had the words "Not
Guilty" fell from the lips of Foreman
Frank Lenoir before a demonstra-
ton of approval as odd as it was re-
markable was repressed by the court
officials. There was an instant'S
pause as the words that freed Frigal
were spoken. Then the silence was
broken by a distinct patter of hands
that seemed to come from a little
knot of spectators, of whom the cen
trail figures were Mrs. Vessel and
Miss Dorothy Vessel, the wife and
daughter of the judge before whom
the trial was conducted.

FRANCE TO GET
AID AND TROOPS
Division Will Be Sent to
Help Great Sister
Republic

Washington, May 4.-The French
mission to the United States, headed
by Joffre and Viviani has been sue
cessful When it's members left
Washington yesterday for their tour
of the West they had the satiSfac-
tion of knowing that the American
government will go the limit of its
power in supporting France and the
other entente allies in the war
against Germany.
The commission had virtual assur-
ance that a division of soldiers will
at an early date be started for the
battle front in France, that this gov
ernment will send 5000 ambulances
and 400 doctors and drivers to
that country; 1000 medical men at
once to England and that in all
probability a force of nearly 10000
American railway men will be sent
to France to put the railways there
on a strategic military footing for
use by British, French and Ameri-
can forces.
The fact that a railway expedition
will be sent to France leaked out to-
day when Daniel Willard, president
of the Baltimore and Ohio, who has
charge of transportation under the
Council of National Defense, in a
speech before the National Defense
conference of Governors said that
there would be an early curtailment
of passenger trains to enable this
country to obtain railway men for
use in the expedition to France. Mr.
Willard said that the entire output
of railway rolling stock and rails foI
some time would be shipped for the
use of the allies in France and Rus.
sia.
The plans for aiding France ir
solving her railroad problems, which
have been drawn up in detail by the
Council of National Defense, will be
made public within a few days. The
question was discussed here to-day
by a group of railroad heads in con.
ference with members of the de.
Tense council. The first step will be
the dispatch of a commission of foul
railroad experts including John S
Stevens.

A passion for humanity is the no.
blest sentiment that can animate the
human breast. To love all mankind
with a high, fervent and self-sacri-
ficing love is to show forth the spirit
of Him who is the supreme Example
of a world lover. Jesus was moved
with compassion by the sight of
multitudes, and His lament over
Jerusalem is one of the tenderest pas
sages in all language. Love of men
was His underlying motive. This
was the passion which brought Him
to earth, and sent Him unresting

1t is a peculiar and significant fact
that the highest friendship seldom
exists outside of religion. I'VE love

Chile Breaks Relations
With Kaiser's Government

London, May 4.-Tne Chilean Min
lister to Germany has demanded his
passports, according to a Central
News dispatch from Amsterdam. The
dispatch says:
"A message received from Berlin
says the Chilean Minister to Germany
has demanded his passports and an
nounced a rupture of relations be-
tween Chile and Germany. The news
caused the greatest annoyance in po-
litical circles, where efforts were be-
ing made to avoid a break with both
Chile and Argentina, in order to pre-
serve some friendships in South
America.
"Instructions have been given for
Chilean citizens to be treated as en-
emy citizens. The dispatch adds that
1t is feared that it will be impossible
in the present circumstances for the
Chilean legation to leave Germany"
