 Trial for Murder a Second Time

Bloomington, Ill.,, Mar. 2.-Will the wealth and social prominence of Edward A. Strauss. president of the Peoria Trust and Savings bank save him from the penitentiary upon the charge of murdering Berne M. Mead cashier of that bank on Sum day, Dec. 23, 1917? That is the question that all central Illinois is asking upon the eve of the second trial, sceduled to open in this city next week. Attorneys for Strause recently obtained change of venue to the Mclean county circuit court here. The circumstances of the killing of Mead were regarded as peculiar. Strause. who is now 49. had been in conference with Mead, who was 37, on a proposition to transfer sufficient stock in the bank to Mead so that he might become president. The two met in a private room at the bank. No one heard the quarrel. No one saw tie shooting Three shots were fired. Mead was had been shot, as indicated bv the empty cartridge law on the floor be- SlQc ulIH. Ouc - DullSt CHtCiCN Mead's head just below the right nostril and the other penetrated his right temple Strause was uninjured His revolver contained two empty cartridges.
 Strause is a widower with three sons. Mead left widow and two sons.
 It is said that the two men met at the bank by chance. The dis cussion of the stock transfer was re- sumed. The curtains of the room had been lowered. Passersby heard shot. It was thought that some one was robbing the bank, All was quiet for five minutes. The two more shots. nearly simultaneous The theory has been advanced that Mead fired the first shot. but missed that he was then disarmed in a struggle, the two shots by Strause following. When the police arrived Strause opened the door of the banl and admitted them. He made state ment that he had shot Mead in self. defense. The coroner's jury helf Strause for murder without bail. Ht sought release by habeas corpus, but was unsuccessful. The grand inry indicted him and his trial com
 menced May 3, 1918. It ended Junt 7 with verdict of guilty, the jury fixing the punishment at 25 years imprisonment. A motion for a new
 trial was overruled and Strause wal

NIAGARA POWER
REVENUE SOURCE
Engineer Says II. S. and Cam
ada Could Pull Down
S40,O00,00O.

MONTREAL. Que, Dec. 3.--Interna-
tional agreements By which 1000, 600
horsepower a year could be developed
at Niagara Falls for manufacturing pur-
poses in the United States and Canada
were urged by T. Kennard Thompson, a
noted engineer. in an address here.
If the policy Of the five pioneer COM
panies now using power at Niagara
Falls were followed" said Mr.. Thomp-
son, "the greatest manufacturing dis
tTict in the world would be established
between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario on
both sides Of Niagara river. The results
in expenditures by private individuals
and corporations would be measured By
billions Of dollars. International agree
ments should be formed whereby 4,000,-
900 horsepower can be developed annu-
ally without interfering with the rights
of the pioneer companies or destroying
the cataract.
"This could be done without expense
to either government. The two govern
merits could levy a tax Of $40 a horse
eminent would be assured Of an income
tax Of s40,0O0,0 900 a year without finan-
ciaI obligations. The most valuable
water power possibilities in America, II
not In the world. are at Niagara Falls"
The part of Canada contiguous to Nj
agara is rich apple, grape and farming.
recion. The water power plan, it is
pointed out, would not only stimulate
industries but increase agricultural de-
velopment and settlement.
