Pittsburgh, April 2s.-The jury tam
herring incident at the West Chester trial
and news articles appearing in two
morning papers are the main points in
the appeal argued before the Superior
Court today for retrial of Isaac
Deutsch, Ware leader of the Fifth Ward,
ind his police henchmcn.
I, Fifty four points of error will bc ar
xued by William A. Gray. counsel for
the men convicted as the result OF tho
murder and rioting in the Fifth Ward
nj the primary election held in Phila-
delphia in September, 1917.
In his argument Mr.. Gray insists that
his clients case was badly prejudiced
BY the alleged jury tampering. He said
today:
"It is not safe to assume that the at
tempt of Allen to bribe the juror
lWeayer--did not have natural and
probable consequence, and it is safe to
say that there was not single juror
among the twelve who tried the case
who would have felt safe in rendering
verdict of not guilty. or who would have
felt that he would have been free there

WE HAVE CONFIDENCE.

LII the world knows that America is in a
IA chaotic condition, but not all of the world be-
Heves that America has the brains the will
and the determination to bring sanity out of bed
lam.
We, however, have confidence that such will be
the final outcome of the present era of birthstone
and brutality.
We believe the government at WASHINGTON and
the congress of chosen representatives of the people,
will arise to the patriotic heights necessary to re-
store order and fairness and justice throughout this
land of self governed people,
We believe that the great mass of the American
people will give to the government and the congress
that loyal and answering support which is neces-
sary in this hour of national travail
We believe that every true American will exert
his utmost to restore country to that condition of
tranquility which prevailed before this wave of ag-
itation and unrest and profiteering engulfed U.S.
Regardless of the present deplorable conditions,
we have confidence in America and American insti-
tutions

There are so many rules and regulations and so
much inefficiency that express shipments going

The Wonders of America
THE CATHEDRAL OF ST. JOHN,
THE DIVINE.
By T. T. MAXEY

THE corner stone Of this great Epis-
copal house of worship, which
crowns Morningside Heights in New
York city, was laid on December 81,
1892. This church was designed to
be the largest and most costly church
edif1ce In America and the fourth larg.
est in the world, st. Peters at Rome
and Milan, Italy, only being larger.
1t will be over 800 feet long and it's
greatest width 300 feet. The total
cost will exceed $10,000,000 and al
though 1t has been under construction
for more than twenty-six years, no
one can now say when it will be COM
pleted.
The architecture is of the French
gothic style. The plans for the great
organ call for 1000 pipes and chime
The crypt will seat 500 and the altar
is to contain 10000 pieces of mosaic
glass. 1t will contain seven chapels
Of tongues: st. Martin of Tours or
Huguenot chapel, representing the
French rite; st. James or Spanish
chapel, representing the Mozarabic
rite; St. Ambrose, representing the
Italian rite; st. Saviour, representing
the Oriental rite; st. COLUMBIA or Scots
chapel, representing tho British rite;
st. BOniface or Holland chapel, repre-
senting the German rite, and st. Aus
garius or Swedish chapel, representing
the Scandinavian rite. There Is to be
also an Open-air pulpit with 40-foot-
high spire and ornamentatfons in
gothic structures.
Donations, large and small, have
como from every conceivable source
and direction, to assist in the erection
Of that which is to be Americas great
est cathedral-a cathedral for the peo-
Pile in Americas greatest city.

THE REAL MENACE.

1T IS not organized labor which threatens the fu-
ture of this country. Neither is 1t the lnsatlaIe
IL greed of capitalism.
Without organization labor would be underpaid
and underfed.
Without the capitalist there would be no ade-
quate avenues for the employment OF labor
Both must survive.
But the menace with which we must cope is the
alien parasite who has fastened himself on organlz-
ed labor and is daily eating out the heart OF the great
American republic.
These radicals from other lands are in major
ity of cases not even citizens OF our country Ihey
are not loyal to our institutions nor to the true inter-
ests of the organizations to which they have attach
ed themselves
They are alien agitators and destroyers-noth-
ing more They preach their pernicous doctrines
and prev upon the susceptibtes of others with the
sole idea in view of creating dscord and disruption
for their own individual advantage They would
dispace the intelligent leadership Of labor organic
atons and usurp the seat of authority for themselves
And they are succeeding in these nefarous under
takings to an alarningly wonderful degree.
Violence is their only effective weapon, and this
they employ to the limit of their possibilities in their
campaign of brutality and intimidation.
They are shrewd enough however, to see that
the responsibility for their deviishness is laid at the
door of organized labor, and by this means escape
the individual punishment which is their just due.
The American people have been bully ragged by
these aliens until patience is no longer virtue.
The time is at hand for the government, the law
abiding element of organized labor and the public to
kick these macontents out OF the country or place
them where they can no longer agitate and Destroy
The poisonous snake is a source of constant dan
ger and is promptly crushed
The alien parasite who is sucking the blood of
honest labor and preaching sediton among our cit
liens is national peril and should be exterminated

One wife has been known to set a
man to wondering why he was born.
What must have been the thoughts of
Solomon?
When a young man is sowing his
wild oats he hopes something will hap
pen to save his having to harvest the
crop.
"Seek and we shall find" applies
very forcibly to the man looking for
trouble.
When you buy one fine thing you
must buy ten more that your appear
ance may be all of piece.
Strange: Some men pride them
selves upon traits of character which
others deem contemplate.
A charitable man is a true lover Of
God.
Give a child his will, whelp his
,fill-neither will thrive.
Felicity consists sometimes in being
next in a crowded barbershop.
One who can subsist on bran is
equal to any task; but who wants to?
Ones character cannot be injured
essentially save by his own acts.
