Two Relief Ships to
 Sail For Near East
Are to Garry Tons of Food and Wearing Apparel to th. Refugees.

Washington, Oct 1S-Two steamships as the result of action taken today, will leave soon from American ports filled with, food and clothing for refugees in the Near east
 One of the vessels. a shipping board steamer, will proceed by direction of President Harding who in requesting Chairman Lasker to furnish the ship de- clared there was good reason for furth- CT government assistance in near east re- lief activities. The other vessel the steamship Stuyvesant, will leave New York October 24, with one thousand tons of food and wearing apparel, ac- cording to an announcement by the American Red Cross.
 Chairman Lasker, responding to the presidents request, notified Dr. James L. Barton, head of the near east re- lief, that the Occur D'Alene, now at New York, was available and that if the cargo was not ready another vessel would be furnished at the convenience of the relief agency. The Occur D'Alene is capable of carrying 5,400 tons In directing the assignmen of a shipping board vessel the president wrote to MT. Lasker as follows:
 You are familiar with the great work in the near east which has been under taken by the American Red Cross and -NSeht 11e1oI ASCAACA lnlS great work is in response to the prompt ings of the American heart to perform a great service in the hour of extreme emergency. There is not only an i'm preSsive call on the generosity of the American purse and the sacrifice of time on the part of American citizens but l think there is good reason for us to dc everything possible in a governmental way to further this most appealing en- terprise.
 Tt has occurred to me that in the transport of food and clothing it might be possible for the United States ship ping board to place cargo vessel al
 the hands of these coordinate agenciei
 to carry relief cargo to the distribut- | ing center at Constantinople. Such ac.
 tion would be in accord with the con- i gressional appropriation for the relic
 and care of American refugees. ant
 would make a becoming governmental
 contribution to the generous work un l dertaken by these coordinate agencie. (which are giving expression to Ameri | can thoughtfulness and sympathy"

Washington. Oct. 1S-(By the A. P.) Seizure by prohibition enforcement of ficials early this week of the Canadian schooner Emerald. off the New Jersey coast, has been made the ground for for nal protest by the British government, the contention being that the vessel was outside American jurisdiction. Pending detailed official adyices from the off cers who made the seizure. comment as to the probable attitude of the Wash ington government was not available to- day.
 The. only report received at prohibition enfofcement headquarters said the En- eraId had been taken for alleged lqucr smuggling while in communication with slJore from a point beyond the three mile limit. The message did not say Specifically, it is understood, that the | Emeralds own boats were plying between ship and shore. It was assumed at the prohibition enforcement bureau that such was the case, however, and that the ship. ! therefore, fell within the recent govern ment ruling as to operations beyond Ann lerican territorial waters.
 Ire British protest, which was present. | ed to the state department, is understood
 to assert that the Emerald's boats were
 not in touch with shore and that there was, therefore, no warrant Ihue ilns announced policy of the American gov

MT. Jayne laid the pillow on a table in front of the jury. Then he placed the pistol On the outline of oil and dirt.
 You will notice that this revolver exactly coincides with the outline of a revolver on the pillow said Mir. Jayne. T tell you that this revolver was placed upon the pillow beside Giberson while he slept the trigger was pulled. and he was killed. This is a tell-tale exhibit which, I believe, was left behind as an act of God to capture the murderer.
 This is the most cold blooded, Vil- lainous, dastardly cowardly murder in this state, and the murderer deserves no sympathy. Even the foulest and most criminal thief has some sence of honor, and generally speaking, is not coward. This unfortunate man. Will Giberson, was murdered in his own home while he slept"
 Mrs. Giberson, described by the prosecution as a woman of steel nerves, never winced. Of all those in the court room she alone seemed unaffected.
 In his charge Supreme Court Jus tice kalisch told the jurors to give the defendant no special consideration because she was a woman.
 Justice Kalisch aid that it was unnecessary for the state to prove that Mrs. Giberson actually fired the fatal shot. It need prove only that she was an accomplice in the crime.
 You can find no other verdict ex- .cept murder in the first degree, or aoquittal,' he told the jurors 'If, however, you decide to bring in a yer dict of murder, you may add a rec ommendation to give the defendant life imprisonment. Remember that all are equal in the eyes of the law, and forget the fact that the defendant is a woman.'
