The first ballot stood 10 for conviction and two for acquittsl and remained unchanged until II :3t Saturday night, two hours after the case had been submitted. When bal, loting was resumed in the morning the question was over the murder de. gree-whether second degree or man. slaughter should be returned against Newman, who shot and killed Franl, Hector on the desert highway last January. At no time did the jury con, slider murder in the first degree, which carries with it the penalty of death or life imprisonment.

CLOTHES OF PERFECT 36"
 UPSET ZIONIST DEACON

ZION CITY, Ill., May 16.-Claudie Hampston, Zion City's Perfect 36, was cited to appear before Deacon John Dow to show cause why she should not be fined or imprisoned foI dressing in a manner tending to de. bauch innocence and purity, and dis, grace the best interests of society,""
 The next day preacher at Zion City preached on Lead Us Not Into Temptation. Claudio, nevertheless refuses to show anything like re- penant mood.
 "Why, the very ideal" she says "Why, the audacity of Chief Becker to arrest me! Why, the general stores of Zion City carry waists of the same length and texture as the ones l wear They even carry split skirts and face powder and eyebrow paint and lip sticIs--which l never use.
 "The reason I did not go to church was because the only gowns l have are the kind the police object to-"
 Then, as a sort of afterthought, she said: "The police haven't seen the one I wear when I go to Chicago"
 Claudio says she has no intention of leaving Zion City as result of the affair; but that she will ask Super visor Voliva to remove "that finicky Police Chief Becker"

PUT PAPER OVER FIELDS
 TO KEEP DOWN THE WEEDS

As a result of experiments cond;,ct. ed for three years, a large sGgai plantation on the island of Hawaii is preparing to "paper" eight thousand acres of it's sugar cane land, much like a paperhanger covers the walls of a room.
 To supply material, paper mill has been erected at cost of more than a quarter of a million dollars, manu- featuring heavy mulching paper from bagasse, the dry, fibrous refuse of the sugar cane after the juices have been expressed. The paper is prepared for use in the fields by being saturated with liquid asphalt.
 The plan is to cover the fields with the mulching paper. The sturdy sugar cane drives its stalks through the pa per, but all weeds are smothered. c. F. Eckart, manager of the plantation says the mulching process not only will greatly increase the yield of cane, but will reduce field labor costs more than 50 per cent. The covering paper not only keeps the weeds out of the cane, but retains moisture in the ground for its nourishment.

Will DEPEND ON
UNITED STATES
Whether Panama Canal Will
Be Internationa|ized Under
League of Nations.
FREE PRESS IMPORTANT
SAYS Lord Cecil, in Creating
Needed Public Opinion
Adverse to War.

Paris, Jan. 23.-(A. P)-The ques-
tion of whether the Panama canal
should be internationalized under the
league Of nations would depend en-
tirely upon the attitude or the United
States government, according 10 tne
belief expressed tonight by Lord Rob-
ert Cecil. who has submitted to the
peace congress a draft of the British
view of the structure of the league.
He spoke at a conference OF Journal
aAfs An answer to ~ qusry sba5ed upon
speculation by the hressson features
OF the new society of nations.
Lord Roberts said he had not heard
any formal or specific discussion OF
the Panama canal among delegates,
it being mentioned only incidentally
in connection with other waterways.
He held the Panama canal Is not on
the same basis as some other water
ways, since it Is the property of the
United States and 1t must be for that
country to say how 1t shall be con-
trolled.
Admission Of NeutraIs.
In speaking of the admission OF
neutrals into the league on the same
basis as other nations, Lord Robert
said 1t was his conception there
should be no classification, but all
sovereign independent states should
have equal rights. Tn the general
discussion which followed he said II
would be disaster IL no South
American nations were included In
the organization.
The question was raised as to
whether, If big indemnity is as
sessed against Germany, she should
be kept out of the league until pay
ment was completed. Lord Robert
replied she should not be barred
merely because of her inability tc
pay, in case the indemnities should
run over a long period. He said nc
definite proposals had as vet beer
made regarding limitations of arma-
ments which is presenting an ex-
tremcly difficult problem. In his
opinion there must be limitation. but
| there cannot be total disarmament
since every country must maintain
| certain defensive forces.
In discussing means for enforcing
the rulings of the league, Lord Robert
! said:
'Tf you are going TO try to force
| peace by the mechanical perfection
| Of your machinery the attempt will
| be a failure. You must have behind
YOU public opinion. Machinery Is
| important. but without n favorable
| atmosphere against war it will fall
| Lord Robert believed a free press
Is highly important since through
The press this favorable atmosphere
can be created.
