Mo1yneaux Found Guilty
OF Joseph Cannon Death
Jury Recommends Mercy; Law
yer Forced to Give Up
500 Fee

John Molyneaux was found guilty of
manslaughter in the first degree in the
Supreme Court, Brooklyn, yesterday. A
recommendation of mercy was made to
Justice Callaghan by the jury.
Molyneaux was charged with killing
Joseph Cannon, thirty-five years old, in
a saloon at 116 Union Avenue, Brook
Ign. The defendant offered as his de-
fence the fact that he was insanely
jealous when he discovered that his
wife, Elizabeth, to whom he had been
married only few months, was receiv-
ing attentions from Cannon.
Molyneaux was a chauffeur, and it
was testified that he discovered Cannon
was paying attention to his wife one
night when he had Cannon for a fare
and drove him to meet Mrs. Molyneaux.
Michael Reiburn, an attorney engaged
by Molyneaux's father to defend his
son, was INTERCEPTED by Justice Cal
laghan when the case was concluded.
Reiburn, it was said, had been recon-
mended to Molyneaux by Probation
Officer List
After receiving retainer of $500
from the elder Molyneaux Reiburn is
said to have asked the court to assign
an attorney for the defendant. The
court assigned Francis Mccartney.
After questioning Reburn the court
ascertained that the attorney had per
formed only minor duties in connection
with the case. He was ordered to re-
turn $70O of the $500 fee.

One Of the surprises Of tho day WAS
found among the Ringing features
that never before had been seen in
New York. Tho Australian woodchop-
pers, who stage contest such as Is

of Australia, gave an entirely new
touch to tho performance. Charles
Kingling said that the two husky
wolders Of the AK had grown accus-
toned TO circus crowds throughout the
country, but that they had trembled

Wears Rollers Skates on Head
There were other surprises that had
not been numbered among the circus
attractions seen here in previous years.
Hilary Long, the upside-down man,
who wears roller skates upon his head
in long slide from the top Of the
building, new clown acts and animal
features that delighted the children
were among the other new novelties.
But it is likely that the troupe of
performers were as highly entertained
by the men, women and children they
viewed from the other side Of the arc
lights as was the audience by their
own antics. For many of the perform
ers in the former Ringing show never
before had seen New York. 1t had been
pictured to them as a cold hearted
city that turned thumbs down to every
thing in the way of new attraction
that did not at once appeal to its
discriminating tastes.

Jean Jaures's Slayer
Freed by French Jury
Judge Advocate Did Not Ask
Death Penalty for
Prisoner

PARIS, March 29.-Raoul Villain
was acquitted by jury to-day of the
murder on July 81, 1914, Of the French
Socialist leader, Jean Jaures.
Declaring that he did not ask for the
death penalty, but only that the &C
cuscd should be imprisoned, Judge Ad-
vocate Begun opened the last day of
the trial. He reminded the court that
the fifty-six months which Villain had
spent in prison since his arrest would
be deducted from his sentence.
The acquittal Of Raoul Villain may
have unpleasant political consequences
in France, it is predicted, as the So
cialists may make political capital out
of it.
The Socialists have charged that the
assassination of Jaures was the result
of plot Of French jingoes and repre-
sentatives of the old Russian govern
ment. Jaures was strong opponent
of the entente between the French Re-
public and Russian absolutism.

mate effects of which cannot yet be
estimated, says a dispatch 20 the "Vos-
sische Zeitung" from Weimar.
Before dispatching its reply, the
message adds, the government con-
suited all the party leaders, who are
said to have given the German answer
their unqualified approval.
AS regards the governments atti-
tude on the note, it is learned that Gen
eral Nudant handed the document to
Herr Hammerstein at Spa on Thurs
day with the expression Of the hope
that the question would be settled
without quarrel. Herr Hammerstein
replied that the note placed Germany
in the most difficult situation she had
occupied since the beginning of the
armistice.
The government is said to feel that
General Nudant did not try to settle
the matter in an amicable, reasonable
way; that, on the contrary, appeared
to be attempting to emphasize the
severity Of the Ententes demands in
asking the unequivocal surrender of
Germany to dictation, particularly to
that of France, and by Undertaking to
make Poland simultaneously the OPP
ponent of Bolshevism and the North
eastern outpost in what is charac-
terized as the Entente's encircling
policy against Germany.
The situation is regarded as serious
in responsible circles, with rupture
Of the armistice within the bounds of
possibility.
According to the Berlin "Tageblatt,"
all parties in the Weimar National AS
sembly, including the Independent So
cialists, approved Of the governments
reply to the Entente note.
The German newspapers generally
support the governments position.
The Socialist "Vorwaerts," for in
stance, says that Hungary's reception
of the note recently sent to her by the
Entente should have taught the En-
tente Powers that it is mot only in
human but foolish to treat defeated
opponents as slaves upon whom any
humiliation Gun be imposed"
The Berlin "Tageszeitune" saws
that the spirit Of tho note shows
tbs desire Of the Entente absolutely
TO crush Germany, while the "rage
b1stt' 1ikens the demand to "the meth
eds by VIII eh every arrogant mailed
FIST policy lnaugurates the realization
OF It's predatory plans"

. Postal Telegraph = Cable

companies, Postal Telegraph Cable
ment:
1--WE now understand why a week
ago to-day Mr.. Burleson seized all Of
the telegraph lines of the Postal
Telegraph system and turned out its
officials. He knew We had refused to
increase telegraph rates when the sug-
gestion was made to US in January
by his operating board of Western
Union and Bell Telephone officials,
and his only way of increasing them
was to first seize our lines. 1t was i'm
possible for the Western Union to in
crease its telegraph rates unless we
did likewise, because otherwise all the
business would come to us at the lower
rates.
"Now, there was no real need of in
creasing telegraph rates. If the West
ern Union was administered carefully
and economically the rates are high
enough. For years that company has
wasted money in commissions, i'm
provident contracts, horde of solicit
tors who created no telegraph business
and merely tried to get the business
away from us, and other wastefu ex-
pcnditures.
"The Western Union Is evidently q
favorite Of MIR. Burleson, because he
gave them n very large compensation
and Is undoubtedly losing money on
that deal, while on tho other hand he
gave Us sl,6s0,o00, although in the
ycnr previous to his soizng our lines
we earned s4,2Go,00 In addition to
the enormous sum he clnims from us
under this contiscatory award, he now
Wishes more by increasing the tcIs-
graph rates. To-day he turned out our
general manager from the iatter's Of
fee in our own building That room
has been used by our general manager
since the building was built, twenty
five years ago. 1t is now taken from
us by force by the Postmaster General
of the United States.
"lf we mad assented to the increase
in telegraph rates when the PROPOSE
ton was made to us in January by Mr..
Burlcsons operating board of Western

our officials would not have been re-
moved last week We refused, and
now the increase is made over our pro-

Nebraska Soldiers
Sent Home Insane.
Charges Governor
Baker Asked to Answer at
Once Whether u. S. Aims
to Provide Special Care
or Expects State to Act

LINCOLN, Neb., March 90. - To
learn If 1t is necessary for Nebraska
to make special provision for caring
for discharged soldiers who have be-
come mentally deranged while in the
service, Governor Samuel Il. McKelvie
to-day sent an inquiry to Secretary
Baker.
Governor McKclvie's communication
stated that while he was In Washing
ton recently he received the impress
sion that mentally deranged soldiers
would be cared for at hospitals es-
pecially designed by military authori-
ties. lie added that he Ia now advised
"of some very humiliating and do
plorable circumstances that have do
yel0pcd through tho relengc OF insane
soldiers who are now In hospitals for
tho insane in this state for care and
attention.
Governor McKelvie said II is not
too late for him to ask the Legislature
to make provision for mentally de-
ranged soldiers. He asked the Sec
rotary to reply by telegraph.
The Governors communication said
in part:
ut seems to me a very great mis-
take, to say nothing of the humiliation
upon the relatives Of these insane
patients, to have them returned to the
hospitals that contain ordinary insane.
These soldiers are entitled to special
attention, and should be taken care of
apart from those who have become in
sane from ordinary causes"
WASHINGTON, March 29.-Secretary
Baker received telegram to-day from
Governor McKelvie, of Nebraska, in
which the Governor asked that immedi-
ate attention be given letter he was
forwarding by special delivery dealing
with the subject Of caring for insane
discharged soldiers. Mr.. Baker said he
would not discuss the subject until
the letter arrived.
