JUDGE LEAVES IT UP TO JURY
AS TO WHO DID THE FIBBING
Says That Either Mary Pickford
or Mrs. Cora Wilkenning
Deliberately Lied.
fRv The Associated Pressl

NEW YORK, March Federal Judge
Mack reached the conclusion today that
either Mary Pickford or Mrs. Cora C,
Wi1kenninr, who sued the cinema actress
for S10S. .006 had deliberately lied, and he
left to a jury to decide which one was
guilty.
The jury returned it's decision late this
afternoon. but as Judge Mack had gone
home, the verdict was sealed and the
question If veracity will not be publicly
settled Until tomorrow.
The lie, according to the judge, rested
somewhere in the conflicting stories of
the methods Mary used back in 1916 to
get Adolph zullor to raise her salary
from 81, 600 a week to $4,000.
Mrs. wiIkennings. whose business is
that of locating jobs and better salaries
for people who live by amusing others,
claimed that it was she who persuaded
Mr Zukor to fatten Mary's income. She
said the screen star came to her and
told about hearing that Charlie Chaplin
was making a million year. and she
thought her curls and her pout were
worth just as much as the comedian s
derby and shuttle, or words ~ that
effect.
According to Mrs. Wilkenning's story
It was agreed that she would sally forth
and get other producers to bid for Mary s
services which would force Zukor to
raise the ante, and then she would get
ten percent commission on the new con-
tract. Thus. she claimed, s1os,0o0 as her
commission and extra charges, because
Mary got a $4,000 a week contract run
ming for two years.
Mary, who was in the courtroom to-
day with her husband, Douglas Fair
banks, and her mother, fatty denied
Mrs. Wilkennings' story. Her lawyers
told the jury that Mary was such a
good actress that producers came around
to her with tempting contracts and that
1t was downright silly TO think she VrDul6
have to run around looking for job.
This interview. between the plaintiff
and the defendant, either took place or
it did not take place." said Judge Mack,
addressing the jury. 'One or the other
has deliberately lied. 1t cannot be a
mere figment of the imagination"
Then he told the jury that il they
found Mary had been the one who slipped
from the path Of truth, they could
award Mrs. WiIkenning any sum up to
s1os, 900.

REFUGEES SHOT BY

BERLIN, March Refugees cross
ing the Dneister from Russia into Ru-
mania are being sent back across the
frozen river by General Popoyich, the
Rumanian refugee controller, and are
then shot by the Cheka as soon as
they set foot on Russian soil, accord
ing to the story told by Germans ar
irving from the Volga district, who
crossed into Rumania two weeks ago.
"The only exceptions are persons
who can lay claim to a piece Of ground
or a house in Rumania, or whose diplo-
matte representatives. furnish funds
for transportations through the eoun-
try" said Friedrich Hartmann, a Al
year -old Russian, born of German par
ents and formerly attached to the city
administration in Saratova, who has
Just reached Berlin.
Hartman declared that thousands
had been shot by the bolsheviki in
this manner and now lie buried in
heaps under the snow on the Russian
side. .-.
"I, myself, saw the bodies OF 40
Russian Jews, whom the Cheka shot
on the Russian shore to which they
had been driven by Rumanian rifles
after running the soviet guard" said
Hartmann. "This occurred shortly
after a score of Germans crossed in
our party. Two men told me that
they had seen the shooting, but, not
believing this, / went to the rear and
saw the bodies lying bleeding in the
snow where they had fallen a few
minutes before. They were thrown
into a common grave, to lie there until
spring"
Hartmann asserted that the boil
sheviki officers and soldiers were a
law unto themselves when on duty at
isolated stations or alone. The orders
of Lenine and Trotzky were never
posted and were never known.

up Bolton Kennedy at his parents home,
as she did habitua1ly before the wedding.
AS Mrs. Kennedy told her story in al

candle power lamp and separate re- corder. The "P. C." was a quadrant electrometer connected by an insulated wire with Collector" post hundred feet away. This post was about six feet high and was capped with an ionium cup. The "P. G." instrument covered the electrostatic conditions by measurin gthe variations in potential between the top of the post and the ground in the instrument room. This is the same sort of static that some times raises the dickens with the anna teur radio fan.
 The average reading was plus 300 volts and the reading sometimes ran as high as plus 500 volts. Under the influence of the Northern Lights the "P. G." light would positively dance with excitement and under certain conditions a high wind had similar effect.
 And it was made possible to accum- ulate all of this scientific information by using regular 6 volt 126 ampere hour Exide radio battery. This pars ticular individual battery deserves a niche of its own in the Arctic Hall of Fame. Its record of faithful service under difficult conditions reflects credit on both its maker and its care taker. From May 3rd, 1921 to Sep tember 22, 1922, this Exide battery furnished current at high discharge rate to heat the igniter plugs of the Bowdoin's engine. It was used con- tinuously as the "A" battery on the ships radio receiving set. And for twenty-four hours every day for over seven months it sent current over four hundred feet of cable to light the lamps in the instrument house.
 Of this Exide battery in particular and of the other Exide batteries in general Jet Harold Whitehouse, of Boothbay Harbor, Maine, engineer of the Bowdoin and in immediate charge of the batteries, be quoted, q can give nothing but the highest recommenda- tion for the Exide Batteries cared for by me on the MacMillan expedition. This small battery particularly, was on the job day and night for seven and a half months while we were To- cated in the Arctic region, and was alwoys at our service during the en- tire fourteen months of the trip. To- day (September 22, 1922) it is as good as ever, testing 1:250 SD. Or. this morning."
