After being In session all week, the
grand jury reported late Friday at
ternoon without finding any indict-
ments. One case Of alleged unpatriotic
utterances was investigated, but 1t was
said the evidence was not sufficient to
warrant an indictment.
The jury investigated the case Of al
legged forgery for which Tycho Schriv-
ner farm lahorer, was arrested
at Mt. Vernon, H., and brought to
this city. A lack of evidence as to the
Identification Of Schrivner caused the
grand jury not to return an indictment
against him. AS a result the charge
hled against him in Judge Johnson's
court was dismissed by County Az

The jury reported the jail to be IN
fair condition as to cleanliness and
repair, but It doubted the advisa bility
of making any extensive repairs be-
cause of the general condition Of the
building, altho in several respects re-
pairs were needed.

Teachers Urged to Aid
Red Cross War Fund

WASHINGTON, May 17.-An appeal
to, the teachers and children in ali
schools of the United States to do their
share in the second war fund drive of
the Red Cross during the week of Nav
goth was issued to-day by Philander
F. Claxton, Commissioner of Educa-
ton,
After relating the aims of the war
the appeal says:
while we are determined to win
through our armies and navies the war
for humanity and the future. we are
equally determined to relieve, in so far
as we can, the sorrow and suffering of
the present, whether of our soldiers in
camp or field or hospital, our sailors on
the seas, our own people at home, or
cur allies and others stricken by the
war, wherever they may be.
"For this purpose the American Red
Cross is our principal agent Wherever
there is most need for its work of
mercy, there its workers are to be
found. 1t ministers to ali, hut with
especial care to women and children.
1t is therefore particularly fitting that
teachers and children in schools Of the
United States, both public and trivate.
should contribute to the Red Cross and
do all they can to induce others to do
So"

ing Hearst and "The New York Amer
lean" for eliminating the Presidents
appeal for prayers for victory.
The following editorial on the situa-
ton was published to-day in "The
Poughkeepsie Eagle-News":
"The Indignation of the members Of
Hamilton Sleight Post over the omis-
sion of portion of President Wilson's
Memorial Day proclamation from one
of the editions of The New York Ameri-
cam is fully justified. There are so
many opportunities for mistakes and
omissions In daily newspaper neces-
sariiy produced under pressure of lack
OF time for the care that can be given
to weekly or monthly publications
that 'The Americans omission might
have been explained as typographical,
but we do not understand that any at
tempt has been made by The American
representatives to SO explain it.
They claim the proclamation was
treated 'as matter of news if cor
rectly reported, which apparently means
that somebody in The American Office
deliberately blue -pencilled the phrases
expressing a hope for a victorious
peace. The mistake was recognized
and an attempt to correct it was made
by publishing the proclamation in
subsequent issue. The recognition of
the mistake appears to have been due
to expressions of indignation received.
The attitude Of the Hearst newspapers
in the recent past is too we'll known for
he people to have any firm conviction
that their conversion is genuine in the
face of such evidence as the Memorial
Day proclamation gave, and it is not to
be wondered at that their sale is pro-
h,bited, in an increasing number of
places"
