EDITOR ACQUITTED
Of MURDER CHARGE;
JURY OUT 81 HOURS
Rod S. Day of Durango Demo
crat Freed After Thir-
teenth Ballot.

Durango, Dec. 11.-Rod S. Day, edi-
tor of the Durango Democrat, was
found not guilty of the charge Of MUIR
der for which he was tried in connec-
ton with the death of William l..
Wood. city editor of the Durango Her
aid, last April.
The verdict was returned at s.
o'clock Monday morning after 10 bal
lots had been taken.
The verdict was given to the court
approximate 81 hours after the case
went to the jury. but it was reached
about Q O'Clock last night. when the
Jury reported to the court that a de-
cision had been agreed upon, the court
ordering the jurors to be locked up
for the night with instructions to re
turn their verdict Monday morning.
According to testimony given at the
trial Day and Wood became enemies
through a newspaper controversy.
They met in the street early one
morning and heated words led to blows.
Day, testifying in his own behalf, de-
clared that Wood, a man considerably
his physical superior, refused his
peaceful advances and struck him IN
the face. Fearing the consequences
OF an impending assault. he said, he
drew his automatic revolver and shot
from the "hip." The first bullet in
fljcted a mortal wound. A second
shot. Day said. was fired by him I'M
Intentionally in the excitement.
The case has attracted statewide
interest because of the prominence OF
the individuals. The courtroom was

cooperate with the new British gov
eminent he has been forced largely by
the political situation at home to de-
mand the Ruhr as the price Of any
concessions to Germany.
1t was stated in an authoritative
American quarter that the chief hope
of bringing the British and French to-
gether during the period of adjourn
ment to which the conferences now
seems doomed, lies with the United
States. 1t was said that England will
probably ask the American govern
ment if it is willing to cancel the
French debt to Great Britain and with
the American government ultimately to
pay the British debt to America.
This suggestion was made informally
last evening to a certain important
American now in London and it will
probably be presented directly to Sec
rotary Hughes this week.
Favors Cancellation
Great Britain is said to look favor
ably on the cancellation of the French
debt due her, provided the United
States cancels the French debt to
America. 1t is the belief Of British
officials that the United States Off
Gals will be willing at least to attend
a conference at which such a propo-
sition could thoroughly be discussed.
1t was also stated in American circles
Monday that the definite agreement
to pay the British debt to the United
States could or might be accompanied
by a proposal for a long period, say so
years, in which only interest would be
paid. 1t vas explained that this was
on the theory that the United States
was primarily interested in securing
the ultimate payment of the British
debt, rather than an immediate set
Element.
In conference quarters it was the
general view that France had indicated
her willingness to give up military pen
alties in return for the cancellation of
debts by the United States and Great
Britain and would be ready also to give
a long moratorium to Germany.

London, Dec. 11.-Adjournment of
the premier's conferences Monday
night for eight days in order to avert
an open rupture between England and
France over the question of German
PREPARATIONS has been virtually decided
upon, it was learned Monday.
The British cabinet rejected the
measure of force for the Ruhr district
upon which Premier Poincare insisted.
Prime Minister Bonar Law informed
Premier Poincare that British public
opinion was overwhelmingly opposed
to any military measures against Ger
many.
Poincare had made a demand for the
occupation Of the Rubr as a guarantee
for a German moratorium.
Next Meet In Paris
The next conference will resume its
session in eight days in Paris. Mean
while it is hoped that some guarantee
may be found which will satisfy the
French and at the same time make
military action undesirable.
1t was stated in French circles that
the imminent adjournment was merely
among the allies. particularly between
France and England. From the first
there was little likelihood of finding
o common basis of agreement between
England and France.
1t was further pointed out that in

Chicago, Dec. 11.-Georges Clemen-
ceau, speaking as a "dirt farmer Of
France" to the farmers Of the United
States Monday, urged them to support
the re-entry Of America into European
affairs, not only as a conscientious
duty, but as a good business stroke.
Isolation he exclaimed, what does
isolation mean?" You know what it
meant with your last wheat crop.
more wheat than America could eat,
with low prices so that you didn't know
what to do.
"At the same time your prices were
down, Russia and Austria, and Ger
many and France were hungry and
couldn't eat because they couldn't pay"
They couldn't pay, Clemenceau de-
clared, because of the unsettled condi-
tons in Europe, directly traceable, he
asserted, to the fact that the United
States left Europe after the war with

RATE CUT
SOUGHT FOR WEST
At |.C. c. MEETING
Territory West of Mississippi
Would Be Affected
by Slash.

Washington, Dec. 11.-Further re
auctions in railroad rates on hay and
grain in territory west of the Missis-
sippi river were sought Monday at a
hearing before the interstate commerce
commission by representatives or the
states concerned. The application was
opposed by the railroads which would
be affected by rate reduction.
Henry J. Matters, former president
Of the Kansas Agricultural college, and
now editor of the Kansas City Star,
was the first witness. H. {. FIannery,
attorney general of Minnesota; j. W.
Rash of the South Dakota utilities
commission, and John j.. Benton as at
torney for several state organizations,
we're prepared to support the appilca-
ton for a rate reduction,
The complaint originally brought by
the Kansas utilities commission has
been supported by the Intervention of
the Oklahoma, Iowa, Nebraska. Mis-
souri, and North and South Dakota
commissions.
Mr.. Waters explained that the states
concerned had been granted reduction
on hay and grain rates amounting to
approximateIy Il or Is per cent in
1921. Last July, however, the inter
state commerce commission put into
effect a general reduction of 10 per
cent in rail rates and the advantage
to which he c%ontended hay and grain
traffic was entitled was 'lessened, al
most obliterated, i'll fact"
Western states now contend as they
did in 1921 that hay and grain are en-
titled to lower rates generally than
other commodities, Mr.. Waters said,
adding that distress in the agricultural
producing territory due to the slump
of farm prices made it principally OPP
~eratiye that transportation rates fall
in same relation to the drop in prices.

Ismet Pasha and his associates here
have made it clear in their negotiations
concerning the rights of foreigners IN
Turkey that Ottoman officials cannot
attempt to marry or divorce foreigners
living on Turkish soil. and that they
must insist that all matters involving
the marital relations of non-Turks be
settled outside Ottoman territory.
The question: Of how control Of the
Turkish straits would be administered,
whether through some body under the
League Of Nations or under some in
ternational unit wholly separate from
the leagues being generally asked by
members of the Near East conference
delegations which have no representa-
tives among the military and naval
experts who are discussing the Straits
problem informally with the Turks.
Inasmuch as Russia, Turkey and
League of Nations, there doubtless
would be strong objection to any plan
to make control of the Straits a league
affair. Lord Curzon has only once
alluded to a plan for the administra-
ton Of the waterway, and then only
in the most Indefinite way, saying
that it had not been decided whether
regulation of the Straits would be
placed under the league or some other
organization.
Ismet Pasha and his Turkish asso-
ciates are a little more friendly to the
league idea than are Foreign Minister
Tchitcherin and the other bolshevik
leaders. who denounce it at every OPP
portunity, declaring that the %organiza-
ton of nations is useless. in rs much
as the United States does not belong.
