day from Mitchell county under pa

Staying of H. S. Richardson, promi-

having been committed to present
service during good behavior. The
homicide was one of the most sensa-
tional in the history of Decatur coun-
ty. The killing occurred in the
cashiers office of the bank June
%, 1918, and was the result of fl
nancial matters. May has steadfast-
ly maintained his innocence from the
first, contending that he shot to save
his own life, Much of the credit
for his regaining his freedom is due
to his devoted wife, who got up the
petitions and did most of the work
in the way of securing clemency.

PRESS IN LONDON
APPROVES REPLY

London, Sept. 30. - Satisfaction was
reflected in Yesterdays editorials over
the reply Of Premier Lloyd George
to EamOn de Valera. Some Of the
newspapers, however, display anxiety
las to the response of the Sim Fein TO
the Premier.
The London Times declares it incon-
ceivable that the conference will not
meet the latest British invitation, and,
while warning against over confidence,
It expresses the opinion that once the
delegates do meet there will be ground
for hope that a settlement in principle
will be speedily attained. although q
settlement in detail might take a long
time to achieve.
The Daily Telegraph says it thinks
the Governments position 'unchal-
lengeable." This newspaper declines
to speculate on Mr.. de Valera's
answer. but II hopes that the reason
of craftsmanship will prevail over the
extremists -
The Daily Chronicle asserts that the
Sim Fein can refuse the invitation only
by declaring itself irreconcilable. but
the newspaper displays some doubt as
20 acceptance. 1t expresses the belief
that the Irish people passionately de-
sire peace, but there is no certainty
that a majority of the Sim Fpin lead
ers desire it," The paper adds. I'VE
do not know 10 what lengths In their
bitterness for separatism they are pre-
pared to go.
"As events at present stand, dare
anv Irish leader take the responsibility
for refusing to confer" asks the Daily
News. which says it thinks the reply
unprovocatye and friendly, and ex-
presses the hope that Mr.. de Valera
will reply with simple Yes" un-
complicated by any mystic phrase

sembly of the League of Nations today
by DR.. Fridtjof Nanscu, high commits
sioner of the international Committee
for Russian Relief.
DR.. Nansen's charges were made in
speech which he delivered after the
Assembly had decided. on report pre-
sented by Delegate Motta of Switzer-
land, that the League would not ask
the nations of the world for funds to
feed Russia.
DR.. Nansen, aroused by this action,
made n lengthy appeal for Russian re-
lief. He claimed there had been mis-
representation in some section of the
press regarding his plans for relief. The
whole situation was being systemati- :
cally misrepresented. he declared, and
IL was perfectly evident that this cam
paign came from some central source
from some one who had a political in
tercst in obstructing Russian relief.
DR.. Nansen said he thought this
campaign was due to fear in some
Quarters that relief for Russia would
strengthen the Soviet Government. he
did not think SuCn WOulu DC lnc tane'
but even If it should be. he asked, is
that any reason for allowing 20,OO0,WO
persons to starveE
DR., Nansen defended the agreement
he had made with the Soviet Govern :
ment for joint supervision of relief
work.
The success of Herbert Hoover s
work. as we'll as mine, depends entirely
upon the cooperation Of the Soviet
Government, he said.
DR.. NanSen expressed hope that the
nations would take the initiative and
reverse the decision of the Assembly
by coming forward with money.
Sweden, Norway. Czecho- Slovakia, the
United States, Canada and Argentina
already are contributing. y,
Half the cost of battleship would
save thousands of Russians" cried DR..
Nansen. "and yet am told the nations
have not the money for this purpose.
II this is so let them say 90. Let there
be no hypocrisy.
DR.. Nansen appealed to the world to
net before 1t was too late. Grain was
rotting in the granaries of the United
States, he said, and Canada alone could
export enough grain to save Russia
from starvation.
