MURDER JURY is DRAFTED
Pen Picked From Among Spectators
to Try 1S-Year-Old Boy.

PEN PICKED from Among spectators
to Try 1s-Year-oId Boy.
Pottsville, May because of OBJ
jections raised by jurors to imposing
the death penalty on a 16-year-old
boy, court was compelled to send
Sheriff Joseph Wyatt for additional
jurymen to try Earl Started, of Ia
maqua, who is accused of killing Her
bert Maeder, his companion, while
the two were on pleasure trip.
Three court rooms were densely
crowded with citizens as spectators
in cases and the sheriff picked the adj
ditional jurors out of the court rooms.
This had the effect of promptly de-
creasing the number of spectators be-
cause of the dislike of citizens to be-
ing confined as jurors in murder
cases. Twelve men were finally found
who stated they would vote for the
highest degree of murder if the evil
dence warranted such a verdict.
The pistol with which Started shot
his chum was exhibited to the jury.
The defense claims the shooting was
purely accidental, and that the two
boys were on good terms when the
revolver in StartZel's hands suddenly
was shot Off

SAYS SCIENTISTS
SEEK BLACK LIGHT
Army Chemists Hunting For
Invisible Rays,

Washington. May 9.-Major General
George O. Squier. chief signal officer
of the army, scientist and radio rX-
pert of international reputation. and
other scientists for months have been
experimenting with "biaci light" or
invisible light rays.
An important contribution H.. Mill
tary science is expected to result from
these experiments. which up IL date
have been almost uniformly success
full.
General Squier explained that
black light" is the name which has
been given to Fight rays of grp;rtrr
wave length than those at thu red cnl
of the spectrum. or of lesser Long Il
than those at the violet end
The construction of the human eve
Is such that these rays make M I'M
preston upon the optic nerve. For
this reason they are invisible under
ordinary conditions.
So far. the experiments cond,'"tcd
by the army with "black light" have
dealt primarily with the problem Of
devia.ng apparatus that Will make
possible their Use in signalling Their
possibilities are by no means limited
to signaling.
The invisible light signaling system
as now conceived is not unlike the
Photograph. except that the new
rays are used instead Of the flash of
sunlight as projected by mirrors. The
advantage of nS,ng invisible RAYS over
the photograph in time of war. there
fore, IS obvious Signals sent by tbs
means would he practically i&capa'''e
of interreption. Another advantage
is that "blark Fgh," rays can lac = n
Grated ar;itiriaiIy and are not dpp.nd-
cnt on atmospheric conditions

affairs they had TO deal, but with
the leaders of the people of Ulster
if there were to he any peace nego-

Far too long" said Sir James,

tIecock of English and Irish politics.
1t was really time thai the one man
who was entitled to do it stood COM
pletely forward and said: Hands off
Ulster unless you come to me as the

One good effect of his meeting with

designate, was that the ice was brOk-

better he was pleased, knowing that
no matter what they said of Ulster,
she was great-hearted and not small

amounting to a virtual receivership of
the nation by the finance section of

committee of the League of Nations,

temporarily freed may be applied to
a resuscitatiOn of Austrian industries
and used as securities for credits.

Henry j. Pleacher has just received

He was lieutenant in company l.,
18th infantry, at the time, and had
been wounded by a machine gun bul-
let. When discharged from the hos
pital he returned to his command, but
his roll. containing his bedding, two
uniforms. boots, shoes and other ar
ticles. had disappeared.
Search failed to find it and after
the armistice he came home without
it. Recently he was advised that his
effects had arrived at Hoboken and
they now are in Bedford.

The main building is 16 stories high,
surmounted by tower az feet square
and rising 1893 feet from the street
level. This tower will contain a clock
with dials on four sides, each 20 feet in
diameter and will be surmounted by
searchlight lantern 9 feet in diameter.
The building is covered with enamel
finish terra Gotta on all four sides. It
is regarded as one of the most beauti-
full buildings in Chicago and people and
press are enthusiastic about it. The
Chicago Tribune published a picture
labelling it "a Jewel of the Link"
Wrigley also recently completed new

All this new construction work in
