by LARRY RUE.

oPPELN, June 3.-Gen. Henuin-
ter. known as the hardest-bofled Of
ficer in. the British army, arrived
here today to take charge of the
fighting against the Polish insur-
gents. He Immediately called a
conference of all the high British
officers to discuss military plans
which. il is understood. received
London approval.
The arrival of Gen Henninter,
who outranks Gen. Lerond, marks
the dominion of the British military
policy. which is anti Polish, the
policy hithertofore being dictated
by the French. British representa-
tion on the interallied plebiscite
commission will be further

of Harold Stuart, who succeeds Col
Percival
Trickery of French.
1t is generally understood in Brit
ish, Italian and neutral circles here
that unless the British and Italians
dominate the commission the French
can make counter offensives inef-
fective, as they are doing now, by
sandwiching their own troops in
between the British and Poles.
A French newspaperman who
claimed to be making a special in
vestigation told me he was satisfied
the French are encouraging kor-
fanty. He said even now IL the
French desired they could stop the
insurrection. Though Korfanty is
weakened by his inability to pay
his troops, he said, he is getting
trainloads from Poland every day.
He asserted the French government
refuses to let the fact be published
in France.

good news from Paris, SO he does
not give a damn what Prime Min

him from a counter attack by es-

says nothing remains but to take
over the government.

are reported to have broken into

The populations of the German

LONE JUROR SAVES
BOY OF CONVICTION
IN MURDER TRIAL
Unable to Agree on Yer
dict After Is Hours of
Deliberation.

KNOX, Ind. June 3.-A rangy,
weather-beaten Indiana farmer who
could not believe that an 1f-year-
old boy could be a cold-blooded mur-
derer is the sole reason that Cecil
Burkett is not on his way to prison.
Cecil was accused of the murder
Of Benny Slavin. Z. his playmate,
on the testimony of Dorothy Scher-
mann. IL. who told the jury. Benny
said, Cecil shot me and I'm going
| to die" The majority of the jury
decided that the boy was guilty.
There was no eye witnesses of the
shooting. Cecil said that he did not
see it: that the little boy was play
ing with the small rife and ac-
cidentally shot himself.
Jurors Believed Young Witness.
But little Dorothy Schermann told
her story. and told II so convincing
ly that IL raw-boned Hoosier farm
ers believed her.
All night long and far into Fri
day this jury struggled with the
problem They emerged from the
jury room red-eyed and hakkard,

The court dismissed the jury and
the most unusual case in Indiana
criminal history was over for the
time being.
Released Under Heary Bond.
A country mother enyeloped a
small boy In her arms. She thought
1t meant freedom for her brown
eyed. alert little son who was re-
leased under $4,000 bond. He viii

Youth Fails to sway jury.
The Hoosier jury did not allow

little drama were children enter
into their consideration. Through
out the trial they appeared un-
swayed by the spectacle of tin,
mites trudgfng up to the stand and
testifying. sometimes between sons
cf childish fright and sometimes
with the candor Of which only a
child is capable.
As Jesse Coffin, the juror VINO

Ohio And INDIANA
keep CORN ON FARMS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-Less than
cne-fourth as many bushels of corn
are sold from Indiana and Ohio farms
as from those of Iowa and Illinois, ac-
cording to the last census figures. ILL
nois sold 1T millions of bushels in
1919, and Iowa. 100 millions, while the
figures for Indiana and Ohio were 20
millions and "a millions, respectively.
With the larger production of ;he
other states, the relative amount of
the total crop in the state that is sold
shows a still larger fraction of Indiana
and Ohio corn kept on the farm. Hi
nois sells the largest part of its crop,
amounting to All per cent and Iowa
follows with sales of 2S7 per cent.
Indiana sells only 16.9 per cent and
Ohio, 16.1 per cent of its production.
Indiana stands third in corn produc-
tion. with 158 millions. Iowa leads
with 81 millions. although it does
not sell as much in proportion as does
Illinois. The latter is the second corn
producing state with 2S5 millions. In
diana takes third place and Ohio fol-
lows with 149 millions of bushels.
The quality of corn sold from all
farms in the country amounted to 1917
per cent of the production in 1919,
while in 1909, 18 per cent of the corn
was sold.

RAIL SYSTEM TAKES
PRECAUTIONS AGAINST
MAIL LOSS BY THEFT


In order TO cooperate with the post
office department In the prevention of
mail depredations. additional precau-
lions will he taken by the Pennsylva-
MA railroad company in the handling
OF mail on trains and at stations and
platforms throughout the system. IN
this connection the following instruc-
tions have been issued to the vice
president in charge of the four oper-
atlng regions of the Pennsylvania sys-
TEN:
Ii is advisable that instructions be
renewed and enforced regarding the
protection of the United States mails
while in the custody of railroad en-
ployes, and also that active co-opera-
tion be developed with postal officers
and employees TO prevent the possibil-
ity of depredations.
Railway postal clerks in charge of
mail cars have been instructed by
their superiors to advise marine
guards at what points and for what
purposes the railroad company's en-
ployes are permitted to enter mail
cars. 1t will be advisable for rail
road employe, not in uniform, to iden-
at the mail car door before entering.
Issue General instructions.
In addition to these special precau-
tions for the protection of valuable
mails in the custody of the postoffice
department employees, it is requested
that general instructions be issued TO
the operating officers to secure pro
lection for the mails while in the Gus
tody of the company, either en- route
or at railway stations, and particular
ly at those stations or functions where
possibilities of depreciation may exist
because of heavy transfer of mails un-
der difficult conditions or inadequate
facilities. This is Immediately i'm
portant because of the Christmas holi-
day season when the volume of mail
in transit is far above normal.
The suggestion is renewed that
railroad employees, especially at larg-
er points, while engaged in handling
mail be required to wear the estab-
lished cap, badge, or other means of
identification, so that supervisory Of
ficers and mail guards can readily de-
termine whether authorized employees
only are handling the mails.
Please arrange so that the railroad
police department will be fully in
formed of the measures above outlined
for the protection of the mails, so
that their active cooperation will be
insured with the postal officers and
employees directly responsible for the
service.
