SMILES SAVE her
Men on Jury Admit Mrs. Phil
lips Influenced Them.
Didn't Affect Women Who
Voted for Death Penalty.

Los Angeles, Nov. 17.-Mrs. Clara
Phillips was saved from the gallows
by her smiles. The men members of
the jury which found her guilty of
second degree murder for beating Mrs.
Alberta Tremaine Meadows to death,
with a hammer. were quoted today as
admitting that had it not been for the
defendants smile, she probably would
have been convicted of first degree
clemency, thus making death the only
penalty.
They said Mrs. Phillips seemed to
study them, one at time and to flash
frequent smiles.
And she had the most appealing
smile 1 ever saw was the way one
juror was quoted.
Women Compromised.
But the women jurors were not af-
fected by it, it was said, as all three
favored a verdict which would have
sent Mrs Phillips to the gallows, but
compromised.
While the defense planned to ask
a new trial next Monday, the time set
for passing sentence, which may be
any period of years from ten to life,
the state counsel said they had no
comment to make on the verdict. Mrs
Phillips was quoted as saying:
"I don't know. whether I killed AL
berta Meadows or not, but if 1 did,
it was for mother-love. for Armour F.
Phillips my husband, is my only
baby, and when I realized he was be-
ing taken from me, L fought, and
fought, so I might have him always.

MAYOR SCHIERLMAN RESIGNS
May Move From Liberty as Result of
Whipping by klan.

Independence, Kan, Nov. IL
Theodore Schierlman, mayor of Lib
erty, Kan, who a few weeks ago was
taken out by a band of men, who
claimed themselves to be members of
the Ku Klux Klan, and given a severe
whipping. has resigned as mayor of
Liberty, and John Drenner, a member
of the village board. also withdrew
from that body at the same time, ac-
cording to information received here
this morning.
Schierlman rendered his resignation
at a. special meeting the first of the
week, but it was not accepted. At the
regular meeting Wednesday night it
was accepted and George Betchel. a
Liberty banker, president of the
board, automatically succeeded him as
mayor.
1t was reported at the time of the
flogging that Schierlman would start
suit against the city for 500, 900 but
he refuses to make any statement
whether his resignation is in any way
connected with an action of this kind.
The investigation of the outrage is
still in progress but with what sue
cess the county attorneys refuse to
divulge. Attorney General Griffith
was recently in the county investigat-
ing the matter. 1t is authenticity re-
ported that the former mayor will
remove from Liberty, where he has
lived since he was two years of age.

Injunction Denied, But Stay
Order Is Continued

Chicago, Nov. 17.-Test of the new
grain futures trading regulatory act
today was passed to the United States
district court here
Judge George a. Carpenter denied
the bill for an injunction filed by the
in force a stay order preventing en-
forcement of the law, and then grant
ed the board an appeal to the supreme
court. This the court explained would
be the shortest method of reaching
an adjudication of the constitutional
ity of the act.
Judge Carpenter also denied a pc
tition of the American Farm Bureau
federation to intervene in the suit,
explaining that while the government
would welcome any assistance of the
federation, he saw no important rea-
son why the organizationg should be
made a co-defendant with the govern
ment.
Will End Uncertainty.
Leading grain men said that the
action today and continuance of the
stay order preventing enforcement OF
the law would serve to end the feel
ing of uncertainty in the grain trade.
Henry S. Robbins. counsel for the
board of trade, said there would have
been mo end of business disturbance"
which would have resulted from en-
forcement of the law. Mr.. Robbins,
in addressing the court, resorted to
the original Capper-Tincher act, and
said that the old law has only been
re-enacted. with a few changes.

Complete Unofficial Returns Received
From Eighty-Two Counties.

with complete unofficial returns
from eighty-two counties received at
Legion headquarters on the adjusted
compensation measure, showing 2S7,-
293 votes for it, we are assured that
the proposition will carry over the re-
quired majority by at least 10000
votes, a. very conservative estimate,
MacIvor declared.
IF the ruling shoul0 be that the
measure must have, a majority of ali
votes cast for the state office receiving
the highest number of votes, the bo-
nus has enough votes now without
counting its votes in the remaining
twenty-three Counties MacIvor said.
'If the ruling should ne that the

$4,000"
MacIvor said the favorable vote for
the bonus has averaged about $500
in each of the eighty-two counties
heard from, including Sedgwick
Shawnee, Wyandotte, Reno and other
large counties. He predicts vote or
8 1000 for the bonus in each of the re-
manning twenty-three counties.
This will add approximately Co.
600 votes to the 2S7,995 already re-
ported. making a total of more than
$4,000 for the measure MacIvor
said. '@This will net the bonus $4,000
votes more than it needs. no matter
what the ruling may be in determining

transcontinental railroads in the
northwest should be consolidated into
two regional systems, one built around
the Great Northern and the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St Paul, and the other
around the Northern Pacific and Chi

up for detailed consideration at a

Representatives of the "Hill'' group,
including the Northern Pacific, Great
Northern and Burlington, were given
the first opportunity to be heard and
thru Walker d. Hines, formerly di-
rector general of railroads, they i'm
mediately attacked the consolidation
plan which would result in a separa-

instruction of congress to prepare a
consolidation plan that would COM
bine all the major railroads in the

Thursday. under a rule providing for
three days of general debate and UNI
limited opportunity for amendments
with a final vote on November %.
Washington, Nov. 17.-President
Harding today presented to the cabi-
net the tentative draft of his message
to the special congress which he IS
expected to deliver at the capitol in
person Tuesday afternoon.
Only a few minor details remained
to he cleared up before the message
is read for final presentation, it was
said The president is anxious to Sc
cure approval of his cabinet to the
draft before putting 1t in final form.
The message is said to be short, but
forceful, and deals almost exclusively
with the merchant marine act, to
which the administration is pledged.
Other legislative matters will be dis
cusSed only in a perfunctory manner.
Lasker Also Optimistic.
Mr.. Harding feels hopeful that the
ship subsidy can be passed before
March. despite the strong opposition
expected to be launched against it,
especially in the senate. This optimis-
tic attitude also is held by Chairman
Lasker. of the shipping board.
Nothing will be left undone by ad-
ministration supporters to jam the
measure to passage with all possible
expedition. President Harding has
stressed this point in conference with
congressional hackers. The president
is particularly anxious, it is said, that
the ship subsidy be cleared from the
legislative calendar in order that ap-
preparation bills can be passed before
March 4. thus avoiding the necessity
of calling special session of the new
congress next spring. The president
wants to give the nation a long rest
from congress after March.

the transportation act, aimed to
strengthen the railroad labor board
and meet objections set up by agri-
discrimination in freight rates for
farm communities.
4. Consideration of a constitutional
amendment to prohibit issuance of
tax exempt securities.
The administration will discourage
any attempt to revive the soldier bonus
issue at this time Despite conflict
cording to his spokesman, has not
changed his mind on the question and
if anything, is more opposed to the
bonus now than when he vetoed it.
