Unmoyed By the Result,

st. Louis. Mo-, April "A mis-
trial was declared tonight in the
case of Ursula BroderiCk, l6-year
old, charged with first degree mur-
der for killing her stepfather j. f.
Woodlock, who was shot to death
in their home here, April II last.
After celebrating for more than
twenty-four hours, the foreman Of
the jury reported that the body
was hopelessly deadloCked." Judge
KIene, presiding, then declared a
mistrial and ordered the case re-
tried on May 3.
The foreman stated. that the jury
had stood ten for conviction and
two for acquittal since last night,
The defendant was apparently
unmoved by the result and asserted
that she was not worried as to the
ultimate outcome wnen the case
again goes to trial.
In October of 1916, Ursula shot
and killed her father, Thomas L.
BrodCrick, but was eXonerated by
a coroners jury when it was testi-
fled that she fired in defense of her
mother, who, Broderck, 1t was
said, was beating.
The case went to the jury last
night after Miss Florence Nc
Laughlin testified the girl and her
mother, Mrs. Lillian Woodlock,
had offered her money to say she
saw Woodlock make advances to-
ward Ursula. Mrs. Woodlock is
charged with completely in her
husbands S death and will be tried
later.
Mrs. Florence Taylor, who resid-
ed with the Woodlocks, also testi-
fled that Mrs. Woodlock had urged
her to declare Woodlock attacked
Ursula.
The girl maintained she shot
Woodlock in defense of her honor
with a revolver purchased to take
her own life in event he overpow-
cred her in his alleged repeated at
tempts to assault her, She kept the
WEAPON coueeaied IN one .oaLP -
her garments, she explained.
The STATE contended Ursula AMI
her mother plotted to murder
Woodlock, and tried to show that
he was shot while asleep.

Rome, April 1.-The attitude of
bolshevism toward the church Is
described in a letter received from
Monsignor De Ropp. archbishop of
Mohilev, printed in the Osservatore
Romano today. MonsgnOr De
Ropp, who only three months ago,
through intervention by the molly
see, was released by the bolshe-
wiki, writes:
"Bolshevism, despite its osten-
tatious atheism. does not prevent
Christian work in churches, but
there is a constant effort to de-
moralize the youth of The country.
Their theory is that a child does
not belong to the parents but to tine
state. The church must struggle
against their theory, and against
this official organization if 1t hopes
to survive in Russia. The church
must insist on bolshevik recogni-
tion of her organization aud of her
rights as a legal entity. This Is diff
ficult because the bolsheviks do
not admit the right of possession.
which, according to them. is vested
only in the nation"

UnreStrained Extravaganza
IS Our National Keynote;
Our Productivity Lower
Than 1t Has Ever Been,

Chicago, April 2,-Americl has
entered an era of false prosperity,
Frank A. Vanderlip, formerly pres
ident of the National City bank of
New York. declared today in an ad-
dress, Mr. Vanderlip is en- route to
Japan, where, in connection with
committee of financiers, he will
investigate conditions governing
trade relations between the United
States and the orient.
There arc three things upHn
which real prosperity must be
based" lie said. These are
ample capital. efficient labor
and application of sound Ccon-
omic principles. We are pros
porous today In the face of all
three fundamentals, and our
prosperity is false as well as
dangerous.
Incomes today ere larger
than ever before. Profits are
larger. Yet fresh capital for
business enterprise Is less avail
able than ever before. The
chief reason for this Is the
government taxes.
"BUt even were the taxes re-
duced, the situation would not
he sound. j have talked with
scores of big business men and
the consensus is that labor is
go per cent efficient. There Is
no non-employmcnt today.
''And yet. despic this fact,
our productivity Is lower than
II has ever been. But even with
labor and capital plentiful our
prosperity still would be on
false bDttCm The initiation of
our currency and of bank
credit has more than anything
else been responsible for the
$50 per gent rise In prices i'm
the last six years. Wages have
not kept pace with prices and
fa'se initiation has added TO the
chaos. Unrestraincd extraya-
lf&.Gc l. our national keynote
