'BLUEBEARD' COMING
HERE IF ACQUITTED
Landru Says He Hopes to Com
mence Life Anew in
America.

VERSAILLES, Nov. "a (Associated
Press) The prosecution in the case
OF Henri Landru, the ''Blueheard OF
Gambais," to-day abandoned theory
ar1 placed on the witness stand ex-
perts who gave direct testimony that
particles Of bone taken from the 'gar-
den and cooking range of Landru were
those of human beings. The explana-
tion given by one of the experts. DR..
Paul. that the bones were those OF
humans and that the small portions OF
skull belonged to persons whose heads
had been shattered with a hammer or
an axe held the jury In more rapt at
tention than at any time previously
during the trial. Counsel for the de-
fendanf declared that no expert. how
ever learned, could swear that the
bones belonged to human beings or
animals.
The Insignificant kitchen range
seemed to loom large to the jurors as
DR.. Bayle. another of the prosecution
experts, gave testimony like tnat OF
DR.. Paul and added that 100 pounds
Of human flesh and bone could have
been turned into ashes in twenty-four
perts, the third being DR.. King. told
the jurors that i. was possible. even
probable. that Landru had disposed OF
three bodies In the little stove.
The experts related how they had con-
Quoted experiments with animal flesh
that had resulted in this conclusion.
From 90 pounds of ashes In Landru's
back yard small pieces of bone had
been extracted which plainly showed
they had been cut with small saw, the
experts declared in their testimony. The
ashes. they testified, contained 5 per
cent. of bone or phosphate, whtls the
usual percentage of coal ashes was 1h
per cent
Landru explained the large percentage
of phosphate by saying he had burned
small oyster shells and that as coal
was scarce during the war he had ex-
perimented In seeking a new combusti-
BILE. burning chestnuts and garbage.
The utmost courtesy which had been
in evidence throughout the trial was
lacking to-day. M. Moro-Giafferi openly
charged Judge Gilbert with partially.
1T Is logical question to ask" Judge
Gilbert told M. Moro-Giafferi when the
attorney objected to the trend of one
part OF the examination.
1T Is logical enough but absolutely
Illegal" retorted the counsel for the de-
fence. and Judge Gilbert was compelled
to withdraw the question after legal
authorities had been consulted.
Landru completely collapsed after he
was returned to the Versailles Jail at
the end of the days session.
The whole world is against me;
there is much ado about nothing" said
the prisoner.
Landru autographed photograph for
the correspondent and then said:
Il hope the Americans do not believe
me to be as baL as am painted When
! am acquitted hope to comm vnce life
anew in Americe."

the party. according TO the Americans,
they placed him under arrest. telling him
he would be punished. The released men
intend to make immediate representa-
tions to London to obtain his release.
The Americans left twenty-one of their
number behind In hospitals; four were
killed in recent fighting. They say that
none of the alluring promises made in
recruiting appeals were carried out
Instead of four pesetas daily they re-
ceiyed one, The 700 pesetas offered as a
bonus for five years enlistment were
not forthcoming. The food given them,
cooked in olive oil. made the Americans
and British sick. and they were able to
eat only the meagre food which their
pay would buy.
Speaking of the unsanitary conditions
which prevailed the released men de-
clared they were forced to go for three
weeks without being able to wash their
faces, while hospital arrangements were
deplorable.
The mems stories were confirmed by
DR.. Alfred woodbridge of London, who
was attached to medical unit. He
described how when bullets were re-
moved from the wounded because of the
lack OF anaesthetic the men were placed
on a table and held down by two attend
ants while the surgeon performed the
operation,

TO HAVE
PEACE WITH ITALY
Cardinal Gasparri Quoted as
Saying Benedict Would
Agree to Reconciliation.

LONDON. Nov. 2i.-A Central News
despatch from Rome says the newspaper
Tempo publishes an interview with
Cardinal Gasparri, the Papal Secretary
Of State, who is quoted as having as
serted that Pope Benedict Is ready Tor a
reconciliation with Italy.
The split between the Roman Catholic
Church and the Kingdom OF Italy dates
from the overthrow of the TEMPORAL
power of Pope Plus "a in 1870. IL
may be said, however, that only the
action of Napoleon III. of France IN
maintaining troops in Italy prior to the
Franco Pruss.an war prevented the tax
ing of the temporal power from the Pope
at an earlier day.
Napoleon III. allied himself with Vic
tor Emmanuel H. in 1859 and sent his
armies into Italy with the object OF ex-
pelling the ACstrians from the peninsula.
This expedition led directly to the unif-
cation of Italy,-and two years later Vie
tor Emmanuel was master OF the whole
country save Venice and the "Patr1-
mony of st. Peter" which constituted
about ohe-third of the Papal States, this
being all that was left TO Pope Plus.
French troops
NAPOLEON withdrew hts troops from
Italy in 1866, whereupon Garibaldi i'm
mediately raised large body OF yolun-
teers to march on Rome, the papal seat;
but Napolean. knowing what would fol-
low, returned his troops to Italy, main
tanning them and upholding what was
left of the temporal influence OF the
Pope until he was forced again to re-
call his troops on the outbreak OF the
Franco Prussian war In July, 1870.
After the defeat at Sedan in September
following. the troops OF Victor En-
manuel entered Rome and the temporal
power OF Pope Plus came to an end,
whereupon he shut himself up In the
Vatican. where he remained ever after
wards, as his successors have done.
While the first article of the Const-
tuition of the Kingdom of Italy declares
the Catholic religion to be the only
State religion, nevertheless the Catholic
Church holds that the Italian State ana
it's Jurisprudence are "atheistical." In
deed in all solemn public functions. as

ence to the divinity has studiously been
avoided for several years. The church
holds that while the formula of Cavou-

only in the domestic concerns of the
church," whereas lin all else the

First Makes Clear Irish
Won't Swear Allegiance
to British Crown.
OPPOSES THE ROYAL VETO
Power Over Dominions Never
Exercised, but Sim Fein
Fears 1T.

LONDON, Nov. "a (Associated Press)
Prime Minister Lloyd George, who
probably will be accompanied by Lord
Chancellor Birkenhead. is scheduled
to, meet Sir James Craig tomorrow
nc9ning in what may be the last ef-
fort to induce him as Premier of Ul-
ster to discuss alternative plans, de-
vised to protect listers interests, to
the proposed All-Ireland Parliament
which the Northern delegates thus far
have refused to even consider formally
Meanwhile Arthur Griffith, chief of
time since the Irish conference opened
in October went To Dublin tonight to
consult with Eamon de Valera the
Irish Republican leader. Mr.. Griffith
was accompanied by Michael Collins,
George Gavan Duffy and Robert c.
Barton. his delegation colleagues.
This visit to Dublin is understood to
be result of discussions during the past
few days between the Sim Feiners and
members OF the British Cabinet. at
which Mr.. Grinith and his colleagues are
said to have made clear that they could
not agree to swear allegiance to the
British crown, their idea of association
with the States of the British Empire
being by treaty. as would be the case
with foreign Powers.
II has been assumed by the British
newspapers that Mr.. Lloyd George has
had some assurance from the Sim Fein
delegates that, as price of listers
assent to an All-Ireland Parliament, Sim
Fein would agree to swear allegiance to
. the crown. 1t now is definitely known
that no such assurance has been given
and that the attitude OF the Sim Fein
in that regard remains the same as that
taken by Mr. de Valera in his pronounce
ment at the Mansion House in Dublin
II is said that Sim Fein. however. is
willing to take the oath to an Irish con-
stitution.
Efforts in the negotiations with the
Sim F'ein this week has been directed to
devising some constitutional means for
reconciling this divergence. but with
little hope of success. Any agreement
with the Sim Fein that did not include
allegiance to the crown would, II is be-
lieved in Government circles receive
little support by any party in England.
Therefore, those best informed are pre-
dieting an early end to the conferences
On Tuesday the Ulster Premier Will
submit to his Parliament the reasons
urged by the Prime Minister why Ulster
should consent to treat with the Sim
Fein. 1t is expected that he will ask
Mr.. Lloyd George to facilitate full con-
sideration Of listers case by publishing
the whole correspondence exchanged thus
far so that Ulster may see the real state
of the negotiations. But the discussions
with the Sim Fein have. by the desire
of the Government, proceeded on condi-
tion that secrecy be observed. SO publi-
cation of the correspondence is not ex-
pected until an agreement or disagree
ment is finally reached.
Sim Fein. 1t is said tonight will
not agree to veto of Irish legislation
by the British Crown. The idea of the
Dali Eireann is said to be a completely
independent Irish State. although loosely
connected with the other States In the
Empire. Acts of Parliament creating

will of the British Cabinet

NEW ORLEANS, April S.-During
the greater part of the session today

the fear of the unfavorable strike

price changes were very narrow. From
advances over yesterdays close of
to points there was decline to levels
1 to points under. The decision Of
triple entente to strike placed the Brit
ish labor situation in a bad light be-
cause of it's effect on cotton manufac-
turing but the market gave ground
only grudgingly. Sales were made slow
ly and it was not until during the last
half hour of the day that a real break
occurred.
Some steadiness was derived from
the rains in the western half Of the
cotton belt and the prospects that they
would extend to the eastern belt. and
shorts plainly did not like the forecast
of much colder weather to follow the
rains but the weather was hardly an
important factor in the trading.

STOCK MARKET IS
MODERATELY HEAVY
Conditions Directly Attributable &c
Higher Money Rates and Appre-

NEW YORK. April S.-The stock
market was extremely lethargic and
moderately heavy today. These con-
ditions were directly attributable to
higher money rates and increasing ap-
prehension in connection with the Brit

Dealings We're lighter and more con-

consisted largely of the usual specu-

Steels, equipments, motors and low
priced rails with inactive specialties
were most often under pressure. High
grade rails and representative. oils
were relatively firm until the final
hour, when the entire list registered
lowest prices. Call loans opened and
renewed into next week at per cent,
but before midday the paucity of of
ferings forced the rate to 61-2 per
cent and before the close a 7 per cent
rate ruled. Other forms of accommo-
datiOns remained unchanged, although
slight concessions were reported for
short time loans on prime collateral.

IS VERY QUIET
UnffavorabIe Character of British la.
Dor News is Reflected.

NEW YORK, April S.-The cotton
market was very quiet again today,
but the unfavorable character of the
British labor news was reflected in
some further scattered liquidation
with July contracts selling off to 1911,
or % points net lower. That delivery
closed at 1915, with the general ;'st
closing steady at a net decline of 16
to 81 points.
The market opened unchanged to 6
points lower. owing to reactions from
early advances in Liverpool and re-
ports that English coal miners had re-
fused TO confer with the mine owners.
Reports of a better tone in the Man
chester goods market as a result Of
buying for India account served to
modify the influence of the unfavora-
BILE labor news, but prices gradually
sagged under scattered selling. Orders
were pretty well divided during the
morning, with covering promoted by
reports of further conferences between
banking interests and cotton export
ers at New Orleans to discuss means
for relieving cotton congestion in the
south and reopening European mar
kets. Otherwise, however, there was

May sold off to 11.5S and October to

the close was within few points of
the lowest. The final tone was steady
on reports that Liverpool transport
workers were not altogether unani-
nous on the question of striking in
sympathy with the coal miners. The
preliminary report. of a prominent
southern authority estimating the re-
duction in acreage at 20 per cent, at
tracted comparatively little comment.
1t was considered nearly in line with
average opinion here, but aside from
that the attention of traders was al
most entirely absorbed with the Bri-
fish labor news. There was some sell
ing here during the day, supposed to
be for Japanese account, but local
brokers said the business was almost
entirely from local or Wall street r.
sources.
