der OF Edward J. Kneip. his girl wife's
former lover, on Janutry I, last.

In an extraordinary plea for Odelfs
life, Elmer Shaffer. chief attorney for
the accused man. conceded that his
client was guilty OF participation. in
the act that ended in murder. He
asked the jury to return verdict of
manslaNghtcr, second degree.
In a straightforward talk to the
jury District Attorney William f..
Love asked for the conviction of
OdelI The district attorney went
into conside rable detail, reciting some
of the facts that the prosecution had
developed in this most brutal killing.
He laid such stress on Odell's confess
sion, obtained shortly after his arrest
for the murder, as well as his own
statements of the part his wife of a
few weeks had played in it. He asked

dwelt at length upon the conditions
that existed at the time of the killing
and of the relations that arose be-
tween Pearl Beaver and Kneip prior

an effort to prove to the jury that

Kneip's life-that the thought had

:'OUTLAW' STRIKERS
PLAN0WN ALLIANCE
New Organization Will Work
Independently Of Rail
Brotherhoods.

An alliance OF all the outlaw rail-
road unions will be effected today to
form a working agreement to Join
forces and take united action. ac-
cording to r. J. Mitchell, of the
United Enginemens' Association of
Chicago
Representatives OF the New York
and New Jersey strikers announced
today that they would join the al
emily OF the brotherhoods.
The new alliance, it was stated, will
have at the beginning a membership
OF 10000 railroad workers, represent
ing labor crafts. AS soon as the rail-
road labor board hands down a de-
cision on the wage demands before 1t,
a national convention OF the delegates
in the United States and Canada will
be called. ~
at is not to be a one big union
said j. p. Foley. OF the Cleveland
Yardmen's Association. Were not for
that red stuff. We're law abiding
citizens and good Americans who
are tired of supporting high-paid Of
members of the organizations under
tyrannical rule. We are not sowing
seeds of Bolshevism. If there are
any seeds OF Bolshevism being sowed
those who are delaying this wage
question are responsible.
Delegations from Pittsburgh, Chi
cago, and st. Louis are expected for a
conference to be held this afternoon.
THE Government Is in hopeless
muddle about the problem OF reduc'
ing the cost of living" Warren stone
chief of the Brotherhood of Locono-
tive Engineers, declared before the
Railroad Labor Board today.
"I am frank to say that IL this
board should grant the increases In
wages asked IL will be only tempo
rary relief" Stone said. Some other
remedy besides raising wages is
needed to settle present economic con-
ditions. This is the most critical time
in our history; and as an American
who loves his country, I say to you
that we are headed for a smash IL we
keep on going in a spiral of Increased
cost OF living and increased wages"
Stane said he did not believe that
IL President Wilson had kept the
faith" the country would have gotten
into "a muddle." He said wages
should not be fixed on the cost OF liv-
ing, hut should be based on American
standards OF living.
"our country" he said, cannot
prosper so long ds men receive Just
enough in their pay envelopes TO keep
body and sold together. Instead OF
talking minimum wage standard
we should talk about a minimum liv
ing standard"
stone finished the presentation OF
the engineers case before the board.

law strikers of the Pittsburgh district
has arrived TO Join the representa-
tives Of other rebel unions in the or

cit is a very reassuring

made by one high official in
connection with the request
for warships.
Dispatches received at the
State Department indicate
that there is a very unsettled
condition in Mexico which
may lead to a serious out
burst, and it is believed that
it is to guard the safety of
Americans in such an event
that the warships have been
asked for. ,
There are indications at the
State Department that a strict
censorship has been set up in
Mexico. No Mexican news
papers yesterday printed any
articles bearing on the revo-
luton, despite the fact that
reports here indicate that the
revolution is creating a seri-
GUS condition Of affairs.

M'CULLOCH WATER
 CASE COMP F.",esMISFD

Following a proposition submitted yesterday by R. B. McCulloch to the city council to arbitrate claim, for water service against him, MT. Me Culloch met with the council finance 'committee and Mayor w. D. Cole this morning and the claim was compro- missed upon the payment of $1,000, the city to defray it's own legal ex- penses. The latter would be only a nominal sum, it was stated. The committee was preparing to bring suit for the collection of $5,00O for alleged use of unmetered water at an ice plant operated by MT. McCulloch.
 In making the settlement, stipu- lation was signed in which MT. Me Culloch stated that he owed nothing on the claim, and that the city accept ed the amount in full payment of any sum which it claimed was due from him.
 MT. McCulloch said the claim had been brought against him as result of malicious "gossip and lies," but that on account of his advanced age and weakened condition he preferred to settle the matter in this way rather than go through the physical ordeal of defending a suit in court.
