For Accessory After Fact In
Murder OF ]. Bernard Patti

Deliberations.
ANOTHER TRIAL, SAYS
PROSECUTING ATTORNEY

The jury in the Circuit Court
before which Mrs. Marbclle Pease
was tried on a charge OF accessory
after the fact in connection with
the murder of ]. Bernard Patti
son. OF near Savage. Howard
county. May IL. last. having dis
agreed last night, the accused
woman was today released on
bail i'll the sum OF 81 800, and she
has returned 10 her home in
Howard county. She was accom-
oanicd by her husband. X. Ross
PeaSc, from whom she has been
separated for two years. and IL
rs understood here that a recon
citation has been effected be-
tween them Her husband also
furnished part of the security.
To BE Tried Again
Pending trial of the ease. Nrs.
Pease had been confined in jail for
months States Attorney Clark. of
Howard county. announced that the
woman would again be brought 10
trial hut did not say when.
The jury retired shortly after
o'clock. after counsel for both sides
had finished argument. At Gas a
message was sent 10 Judge Moss that
the jurors could not agree. but he
sent word 10 the jury that II must
consider the case further. Dinner
was then sent To the jury room. Az
10 o'clock the jury again reported IL
could not agree and was DISCHARGED.
Mr. Clark. in addressing the Jury,
lsked for second degree murder
verdict. pointing out that William c.
cronmiller. indicted jointly with Mrs.
Pcase for the killing, had already
been convicted Of murder in the sec
md degree and had leen sentenced bys'
Judge Moss TO Is years In the Peni-
tentiary
The case of the prosecution was
built around Mrs. Pease's alleged con
fession 10 detectives that she had
brown the pistol with which Pattison
was killed into a quarry near her
home shortly after the murder. The
pistol. according to the alleged con
'ession, was given her by Cronmiller
1fter the crime.

The defense went into the trial with
the intention of offering no testimony.

States case changed the program and
decided to place Mrs Pease on the
stand in her own defense

DIFFERENCE DUE TO rs

Tn THE Northwest, interest in the expo
/ siton which the City Of Portland, Ore,
has been planning to hold in 1923 is known
to be keen. The enthusiasm aroused has,
however, evidently failed TO blind hackers
Of the project to the intrinsic Significance Of
n fitting celebration OF $50 years Of national
independence.
The letter addressed by W. j. Hoffman,
editor Of that excellent newspaper, the
Portland Oregonian, to W. Freelnnd Ken
driCk Enthusiastically implies that Philndcl-
phla has prior claim upon public attention
throughout the country. The question of
postponing the Portland fair in order TO
preserve for the Sesqui Centennial its due
of prominence has been raised
George l.. Baker, Mayor of Portland, is
anxious to learn something definite of Phila-
delphia's intentions, since Oregon voters will
be asked to decide this November whether
$4,000, 900 shall be raised by taxation for
the already thriving enterprise to signalize
progress in the Pacific Northwest.
These inquiries suggest at least a partial
answer to . question which Philadelphians
have been Rropounding: What does the gem

would not be necessary to six the depart-
mental status of the Philadelphia Navy
Yard. The pork principle prevails when
Washington is called upon to decide which
yards shall be developed and which shall be
permitted to decline and decay. Charleston
yard, for example, always has been drag
upon the naval service and the national
Treasury.
The Philadelphia yard would be listed for
larger development under any really scien-
tiic system of direction for naval bases. 1t
has advantages which belong to no other
yard on the Atlantic Coast. 1t is deep
water yard to begin with, yet it has exten-
sive facilities for the accommodation OF
ships of all sizes Mt fresh water anchorages.
1t can receive any ship of any size. That
is something that cannot be said even of the
Brooklyn yard, for n ship like the Leviathan
cannot pass under Brooklyn Bridge. Its
inland situation makes League Island vir-
tually beyond attack from the water or the
air. II the naval board which began sur
veys today to determine the usefulness of
League Island under naval plans formulated
for the future is permitted to make decisions
uncoored by orders from above, the Phila-
dclphia yard will be recommended for a first
place in appropriation lists and in plans
for greater naval efficiency.

'PENROSE PLAYGROUND"

THERE unQuestionably is consistency in
L the proposal to chrStcn the new city
recreation plot at Twelfth street and Sus.
quehanna avenue the 'PenrOse Memorial
Playground.
For long period Of years the great
majority Of Philadelphians demonstrated
their approval of Boics Penroso ndorsed
his acts in the Senate and his leadership in
Pennsylvania.
1t is logically and sentimentaIly appro
priate to honor the memory Of native sons
admired in their life. In municipal nOmen-
clature here this policy has, however. been
only spasmodcally adopted. Many street
and not a few squares in Philadelphia are
named after forgotten nonentltirs. Senator
Penrose does not fall in that category.
Whatever may be the ultimate verdict on
his career, it cannot be denied that he was
conspicuous and that this city as a whole
sanctioned his activities.
The Mayor already has indorSed the
naming of a children'S playground after the
long prominent political chieftain who hap
pened to be a bachelor. Ther. are indica-
tions that Council will confirm this interest
ing suggestion.

GUERRILLA FIRE

THE progressive campaign" Instituted
i by Congressman William J. Burke an
pears to have reserved most OF its strength
for its dying paroxysms.
Reactionaries in Pennsylvania politics nj.
ways have seemed To believe that there can
be no limit to the crPdu.ity Of Republican
voters. But representatives Of the hard =
boiled combines boosting members Of their
camps as progressive candidates fer thc
governorshp in opposition to Mr.. Pnrhot
seem far more Credulous than the most
credulous of machine voters.
There are so-called "Ropublicans" in
this State who would prefer TO see Mr..
Pinchot defeated, even If the defeat meant
the election Of Mr.. McSpnrran. They would
like to kill off progressivism at the outset
and so be forever done with 1t. That, ap-
parently, is why Mr.. Burke and his asso
ciates have suggested Colonel Joseph
Thompson and John Douglas. of Pittsburgh
as fresh opponents of Mr.. Pinchot and con
tenders for the progressive vote.
