After Deliberating 2 Hours, Silvas Jury Locked Up for Night

MORALES, AriZ., June 3.-After de- liberating for seven hours, the jury trying Placido Silvas, accused of first degree murder in connection with the staying of Postmaster and Mrs. J.. Frank Pearson of Ruby, was looked up for the night in a local hotel. No in timation culd be obtained as to how the jury stood
 It was generally predicted that Sil- vas will not be given the death pen alty, as was Manuel Martinez, who was recently convicted of lAlving a hand in the Pearson killings. If the jury reaches . verdict, it is expected that it will contain a recommendation for prison sentence. It was regarded as not unlikely that the jurors would be unable to agree. Silvas' first trial last December resulted in a disagree ment
 The Silvas case occupied F days, and is the longest criminal trial in the history of Santa Cruz county

Republicans Responsible For High Tariff and Loss of
 Trade, Says Underwood

WASHINGTON, June 3.-A battle between Republicans and Democrats over the old issue of Canadian reel procity and restoration to the free list of two important building matrials, common brick and cement, featured today's senate consideration of the tariff bill
 Brick and cement went on the free list after recent Democratic attacks on duties originally proposed with pro- visO offered by Chairman McCumber and admittedly aimed at Canadian brick and cement, that imports into this country should pay tariff equal to that levied against American brick and cement by other countries. Sen ator McCumber declared that general Canadian reciprocity was a dead let ter" and ne had so informed a repre- sentative of the Canadian government.
 Senator Underwood, Democrat, Ala bama, on the other hand, advocated free trade with Canada by removal of all barriers of commerce" and said the Republicans were responsible for high Canadian tariff and resultant loss of trade
 Fighting the, duty of 9 per cent ad valorem, on fire, chome and bath brick, which was approved, the Ken lucky senator chaged that this was written into the bill to placate Senator Gooding of Idaho, chairman of the Re

vALEN T|NO WILL
 KNOW RESULT OF
 HEARING MONDAY
Whether Bigamy Charges Will Be Preferred orjNot to Be
 Decided by Court

LOS ANGELES, June 3.-Rodolph Valentino. hero of many film TO- mances, will know next Monday whether he must face a jury on charge of bigamy Justice of the Peace Hanby announced this today at the conclusion of the actors prelim- mary hearing on charges that Valen- tino married Miss Winifred Hudnut at MeXicali, Lower California, and af- terward lived with her ait Palm Springs, .Calif., while he still was le- gally married to Miss Jean Acker.
 Whether Justice Hanby will bind Valentino over to the Los Angeles su- perior court for trial or dismiss the complaint depends upon his interpre- tation of the California statutes upon which the district attorneys office based the charge against the actor.
 It was contended by Deputy Dis trict Attorney Costello that the fact Valentino and his second wife lived in the same cottage at Palm Springs for three days following their mar riage warranted holding the defend ant for trial. w. I. Gilbert, represent ing Valentino, argued that no ev;- dence showing marital relations had been produced. Both cited decisions they contended sustained their points.
 Frank James. attorney for the Fam GUS Plavers-Laskey Corporation, at tackled the validity of the measure on the ground the acts charged bv the prosecution did not constitute bigamy
 The arguments followed testimony by Dr. Floretta White, physician of Palm Springs, that she had attended the marriage at MeXicali and that the couple stayed at her cottage at the Springs that night. Mrs Valentino was i'll. she testified, and asked her to have a room by herself. and Valen- tino and Douglas Gerard. groomsman at the wedding, were assigned to an other room.
 When Costello submitted his case James moved to dismiss the complaint saying he was surprised the deputy district attorney had not moved. He said it would be a great misfortune if this defendant should be held to answer when there is no hope of his conviction by a jury"

Mayo declared he regarded the com mittee action as a decisive victory for Ford and that a more determined ef- fort than ever before now would be made to obtain the properties.
 Two other developments in congress affecting Muscle Shoals occurred while the committee was in session. The house instructed it's conferees on the army appropriation bill to report back to it what decision they reached with the senate on the amendment prOvi- ding $7500,000 for continuation of work on the Wilson dam, so that q separate vote might be had.
 In the senate agriculture committee. Oscar c. Merrill, executive officer of the Federal Power Commission, testi- filed that the Muscle Shoals projects should be completed and put in oper- ation preferably by private enterprise.
 If the government decided to operate the properties, Merrill said, he be- lieved the bill by Senator Norris of Nebraska, chairman of the committee, probably offered the best method of dealing with the projects.

KIRVIN, Tex. June 3.-(By the As sociated Press)- Practically normal conditions prevailed again in and near Kirvin tonight Rumors of possible race riots and clashes Of whites and negroes continued, but were discoun- tenanced.

 Many of the negroes were reported to have left their homes, to avoid pos sible trouble.
 The bodies of Allie and Leroy Gib- son. negroes killed in a fight with of ficers yesterday, are in the possession of relatives, it was said. Sheriff Ma yo denied today that the negroes were taken into custody because of alleged connection with the murder of a r year old girl, which resulted in the lynching of four negroes. The sheriff declared there was no formal charge against the Gibsons, and deputies sought them to Investigate an alleged attempt by white men to whip one of them.
 The negroes in the community are behaving themselves and l don't an ticipate any trouble from them" Sher- if Mayo declared. Their attitude seems to one of fear toward the whites rather than one of defiance. "
 Many negroes spent Friday night in trees and bushes, completely aban- doning their homes through the fear of the white people" M. T. Gonzales, government agent, who came here to investigate the reported trouble, said today after a trip through the negro settlement

SPARKS FLY AT STEEL MERGER
 INVESTIGATION
Committee Counsel, Banker in Heated Verbal Tilt; Is
 Threatened With Jail

NEW YORK, June 3.-The sparks flew again today at the Lockwood com mittee investigation of the latest steel merger, with Samuel Untermyer committee counsel. swinging on the anvil, and Mortimer H. Schiff, of Kuhn, Loeb & Company flaring in an ger at his interrogations. Their yer bal fusilade got so hot at one time that Untermyer warned the banker he might go to jail for refusing to answer questions. Schiff quickly intimated that if he did, Ultermyer would keep him company behind the bars.
 The discussion centered around the part Kuhn. Loeb & Company are to take in merging the Republic. Midvale and Inland companies into the North American Steel Corporation. Schifi insisted the relationship of his firm was purely one of banking. They They were financially "fathering" the enterprise, he said, and were to head the syndicate to underwrite S25,0O0.- 900 of preferred stock at SEQ. and S44, 100000 in common at $43, and then raise another $20,000,0O0 in cash to purchase additional Midvale paper.
 Untermyer contended that the bank CTS intended to create a market" for the stock of the new corporation with the $20,000.000 cash. and that they were likely to manipulate prices to favorable levels by buying and selling securities.
 Hot with resentment. Schiff called on Chairman Lockwood to make Un- termyer cease asking unfair" ques- tions.
 After he had admitted that the bank might both buy and sell the stock. the question that set off the fireworks was put to Schiff in these words;
 50 that whilst with one hand the syndicate is selling stock to the pub lie, with the other hand it is buying stock from the public?"
 Schiff said this was not true be cause the transactions were not simul taneous and when the lawyer inquir ed how he knew, he shouted:
 We do net wash stock. and ! re sent that implication"
 All these resentments. you know don't count" Untermyer remarked "The facts are what we are lookinl for"
 "Then put the question in way SC they are facts, and don't twist things suggested the banker
 MT. Chairman" continued the banl CT, MT. Untermyer is trying to pu words in my mouth that we are man ipulating stock, and I will not do it refuse to answer another question!
 Then came the jail threat.
 MT Untermyer twists words in my mouth" said the banker.
 No, I cannot get into youl mouth" Uutermyer assured him. II I could, l would close it."
 Tn a moment they were at it again Untermyer insisting that the syndi cHte was a buying and selling one, and Schiff agreeing that all syndi cates were of that nature, but tha purchases and sales were not made a the same time.

FRISCO RAILROAD HAS
PfNSIONED MANY
During 1921 There Were 81 Employees
Given Pensions.

Springfield, June 14.-Figures is.
sued by w. D. Bassett, of st. Louis
secretary of the board of pensions OF
the Frisco Lines, disclose the inter-
esting fact that since the establish
nent of the pension bureau on July /,
1913, approximately APO applications
I for pensions have been received and
of this number only 72 have been de-
clined or are still under investigation
which means that 357 applications
have been approved and that the tot
al paid out to date for pensions
amounts to $401, ,264.88.
Boiled down to monthly totals, it
means that an average of $3,933.97
has been paid out by the Frisco in this
department to its pensioned employees.
This is an average per man of $26.75.
Pensions in force at the beginning
of the current calendar year year 251,
about 106 pensioners having died dur
ing the nine years the plan has been
in force.
Last Years Record
During the year 1921 there were 81
employees placed on the pension rolls
and during the same period IL pen
sioners died. The average age of pen
sioners retired on account of the age
limit, which is 70 years, is IA and six
tenths. The average age of pension
ers disabled and retired en- this ac-
count is Sc and one-tenth. The oldest
pensioner living is SO years old and
the average age of all pensioners in
SO and thEee-tenths years.
The pension roll for the year 1921
amounted to $7s,318.73. This means
an average per month of $6,526.56 and
an average per pensioner of $27.S9.
The Frisco has more liberal pen
sion policy than the majority of roads
it is said, and it is largely because
of this fact that the pension list
reaches such surprisingly large totals.
