MIRANDA

THE Latin adjective mirandus is re-
sponsible for the existence Of
charming Miranda, a name for
ever associated with poetic fancy.
Miranda signifies admirable" or
worthy TO be admired" and. aside
from its harmonic syllables, claims
the right 20. fame through the kindly
offices Of Shakespeare.
When the master dramatist wrote
The Tempest" he called his beau
tiful and modest heroine. daughter
Of Prospero. Miranda She IL was
who. brought up on a desert island
with the delicate spirit Ariel. and the
savage and deformed Caliban as her
only companions, became the object
OF the love Of Ferdinand, son Of the
king Of Naples. who was shipwrecked
on the island
The exquisite love story which the
poet dramtist wove about the young
couple and the efforts Of the young
prince 10 prove the sincerity OF his
devotion by performing the lowest
mental tasks prescribed by Prospero,
has made the name Of Miranda one
Of the love heroines OF history. She
ranks with Dantes Beatrice and
Petrarch's laura
The pearl Is Miranda's talismanic
gem. L sieaifies the mOdesty, charm.
and affability for which the name
stands. Monday is her lucky day and
Z her lucky number. The wild rose
Is her flower.-Copyrlgh 1920, by

Bishop Thomas Nicholson, of Chi
cago, presented a report on the matter
which was referred to committee of
five. of which Bishop William Burt, of
Buffalo, is chairman. Bishop Nichol-
son, although strong supporter of the
movement, accepted neutral stand and
did not express strong views on either
side.
1t is. expected vigorous statements
will be forthcoming tomorrow. When
the subject was informally discussed
there seemed to be no doubt left as to
the intentions of the board. There is
no voice against paying the debt, but

organization of the Interchurch World

Judge Tells Hung Jury
Luban's Guilt Was Proved
Says Failure to Agree Was
Miscarriage of Justice and
Urges Speedy RetriaI

A jury in the United States District
Court reported to Judge Knox at 5
p. m. yesterday, after SIX hours de-
liberation, that they could not agree
upon a verdict in the case of Jacob
Luban, charged with conspiracy in con-
nection with letter box thefts.
The strange thing about this case"
said Judge Knox in discharging the
jury, "is your inability to reach YER
dict. In my experience l have never
seen the guilt of defendant more
clearly established beyond all doubt
yes, beyond all reasonable doubt. This
is the greatest miscarriage of justice
that has come to my attention and,
therefore, there will be no delay of the
retrial"
Luban was a witness for the prose-
cution in the cases of Lieutenant
Charles Becker and the four gunmen
convicted of the murder of Herman
Rosenthal. Since that trial, he has
been arrested several times.
In the case against him in the Fed
eral Court he called witnesses who
testified that he was at a synagogue

robbed. He was indicted for the offense

Printers Union Presents Esti-
mate TO Arbitration Board at
Wage Raise Hearing

The sum of $2,632 was cited yester-
day by John F. Mines, president of the
New York Printing Press Assistants
and Feeders Union, No. %, as the
present living wage 'evel in New Y Yorl,
City. This estimate was presented by
the union in the course of proceedings
in a dispute now being arbitrated be-
tween the union and the New York
Employing Printers Association. The
issue at stake is a wage award affect
ing the book and job plants in the New
York district.
The hearing was held in the Chari-
ties Building before George w. Kirch-
wey, formerly dean Of the Columbia
Law School, who is acting as impartial
chairman of an arbitration committee
made up of. an equal number of en-
ployers and representatives of the
union.
The representatives of the union
contended at yesterdays hearing that
the figure determined upon by their
Investigators was even below that ar
rived at by other Investigators in their
efforts TO strike q wage that will make
possible a decent American standard
of living.
The union representatives presented
a mass of detailed quotations to sup
port their contention. They summar-
lied the necessary expenditures of an
average family a year as follows:
Food, sS71; clothing, S529.96: rent,
s437.35; light and heat S68.59; house
