JURY FINDS
RICHARD Is
NOT GUILTY
Hundreds in Court and on
Street Cheer News
of Verdict.

New York, March 29.-George l..
c'Tex"D Rickard, sports promoter,
acquitted of charges of assault and
abduction in supreme court here
early today, probably will not be
called on to answer to three similar
indictments that have been found
against him by the grand jury.
This was indicated by Assistant
District Attorney Ferdinand Pecora,
who conducted the trial of Rickard
on accusations made by Sarah
Schoenfeld, aged H.
Seldom has there been such q
demonstration in the court house as
that when the jury brought in its
verdict freeing Rickard. Hun
dreds had fingered about the big
building, thinking the jury would
not deliberate long before reaching
an agreement. When the first syl-
liable of the verdict fell from the
lips of the jury's foreman, the word
was shouted through the corridors
and passed along to the throng
waiting in the street outside.
Rickard was almost overwhelmed
by his friends but made his way
through the crowd to a telephone
where he called his apartment and
informed Mrs. Rickard of his ac-
quittal.
"Ruined Man." Says Attorney.
New York, March 29-Max D.
Steuer, chief of counsel for George
l.. cTex") Rickard, noted fight pro-
moter, on trial charged with abduc-
ton and attack upon 15-year-oid
Sarah Schoenfeld, branded his eli
ent a ruined man yesterday after
noon. Steuer's assertion came in
the course of his summing up
speech.
Has ever a man been more ruin
ed than Rickard is today?" demand
ed Steuer, facing the jury. What
difference does it make to a man
if he is convicted or not. That is
the smallest of the penalties in a
case of this kind.
What difference does it make
after the dagger has been inserted
and turned around, If it is with
DRAWN"
Then, turning again to the jury
Steuer said:
Here you look upon a man who
never in his life cheated. He did
not know how to cheat"
The attorney attacked the stories
of the two complaining witnesses,
Sarah Schoenfeld and 12-year-old
Nellie Gasko, Sarah's chum.

News of the affair spread and the
downtown streets soon were filled
with excited residents. Messages
were sent to points in the direction
which the automobile took, but up
to this morning nothing had been
heard as to the fate of the doctor.
The physician has been a resi-
dent in this community for 10 years,
is married and has a family.
DR.. McClain returned here about
noon today. He stated he was TAX

woman. He then was brought to
the outskirts of the town and lib
Grated, he said.
The doctor declared he had not
been whipped, tarred and feathered
or ordered to leave town.

swathed in the finest furs, Mrs. Van
Winkle-or Lieutenant Van Wrinkle,

Has "Flapper Cops
Mrs. Van Wrinkle has surrounded
herself in the woman's bureau with
policewomen no less attractive than
herself. In Washington policewo-
men would generally be classed as
flappers. Many times and oft they
have drawn the flirtatious fire of
youth, only to lead the youths,
crestfalIen and disillusioned, to the
"hoosegow." These ffapper cops
go to the movies, and if the young
man next to them tries little
"snuggle pupping," off he goes to
the calaboose. These flapper cops
hesitate for a moment on street
corners. If a he-vamp in a ma
chine comes by and asks them to
go for a ride, they always accept.
Then they flash the old police badge
and the intended Joy ride" ends up
in a funeral drive to the nearest
station house.
The flapper cops have patronized
the Washington dance halls to a
fare-you-well. They have danced
with strange young men and no
dancers on the floor have entered
into fox trOt, toddle or camel walk
with more verve and abandon than
the copettes. Naturally, some of the
young men have suggested supper
after the dance, with perhaps lit
tie drink or two at friends flat. "

to go to flat parties. The denou-

Washington, March 29.-All of
Washington society is on tip toe
eagerly awaiting the outcome of a
police trial. Official Washington is
not less interested. For the police
officer called to. the bar is none
other than Mrs. Nina G. Van Wrinkle
who is said to know more of what
has gone on behind the drawn
shades of Washington life during
the last four years than any one
in Washington life would care to
have disclosed.
Mrs. Van Wrinkle has asserted that
during every month of her long
service as head of the woman's bu-
reau of the local police department
there has been Il determined effort
to get her" So now she is up on
charges of conduct prejudiciaI to
the good order, reputation and dis
cipline of the police force" She is
facing q fight for her official life,
and the majority of the court which
is to try her is made up, of old time
"flatfoots" who always have re-
sented the female invasion of the
police ranks.
Woman Of Wealth.
But what society is interested In
is will Mrs. Van Wrinkle tell?"
There is no doubt that she knows.
She has made it a part of her Off
cial business to inquire. Mrs Van
Wrinkle is no ordinary cop" She
is woman of wealth and intellec-
tual attainments.
She has lived at the Wardman
Park hotel, where one-half the
members of President Harding's s
cabinet live, and which also is the
home of half a hundred diplomats
and several hundred government
officials-government officials who
are here not for their meager sal
aries but for the social prestige
given by their connection with the
reigning party.

AS MURDERER
Otto Cole, Who Killed Harry Hahn
in Omaha, Escaped From Jo-
liet Two Years Ago.

Omaha, Neb., March 29.-Otto
Cole, whose address was given at
Burlington, Kan, who admitted
yesterday, police say. that he shot
and killed Harry Hahn in the lat

ing to Charles Van Deusen, Omaha
detective chief, that he escaped
from the Illinois state penitentiary
at Joliet two years ago. At the
time he is said to have been using
the names of Edward English and
Richard Proctor.
Cole claimed he shot Hahn fol-
lowing an argument over a loan
on a watch. A theory of the police,
Chief Van Deusen said, was that
he went into the pawnshop TO hold
up the pawn broker. An inquest
is being held today.

MINERS OF
STATE WILL
JOIN STRIKE
No Separate Agreement,
Harrington Tells
Operators.

Chicago, March 29.-Illinois min
ers will join the nationwide coal
strike set for April 1, and no hope
of q postponement or of initiation
of a separate state wage agree
ment could be found, Frank Far
rington, president of the Illinois
miners, told heads of the state op-
orators association in conference
here today. Only an emergency
could change the situation which
now prevents him from negotiating
a new wage contract, Mr.. Earring
ton told the operators, it was
learned.
The operators met the miners
head at. his suggestion in COM
pliance with the existing contract,
which expires on Friday night, the
failure to renew it having resulted
in the break throughout the central
competitive field.
No New Contract.
q am not in a position to nego-
tiate a new contract" Mr.. Earring
ton told the operators, he said after
the meeting which lasted less than
two hours. ''The policy committee
of the international union has de-
cided against separate state agree
ments. Some time in the future,
perhaps, an emergency might arise
which would change the situation" :"
The operators asked President
Harrington to explain what he meant
by an emergency" He replied
that he could not say at this time
what emergency might arise.
The result of the meeting was
considered by the operators to have
| been nearly negligible and they
merely reiterated previous state
ments in recent days that Illinois
mines would be closed down stimuli
| taneously with the suspension OF
work and that no effort, as far as
known now, would be made to
operate.
New York, March 29.-tBy the
Associated Press.)-Casting aside
as a remote possibility" the pros
pect of settling their differences In
time to avert the general strike set
for three days hence, members of
| the anthracite subcommittee on
wage contract negotiations today
girded themselves for a long, hard
struggle over the miners 19 de-
mands.
Nothing but a miracle-the i'm
mediate acceptance of each and
every one of our demands-can
avert the strike now," Thomas Ken
nedy, district president of the
United Mine Workers, said.
Lewis Leaves Home.
Springfield, Ill, March 29.-Three
days rest at his home here, today
sent International President John
Il. Lewis of the United Mine Work
ers of America, back to his head
quarters at Indianapolis, prepared
to direct what many miners say
will be the unions life struggle.
Mr.. Lewis left without any COM
ment upon the situation except
that plans have been carefully laid,
union miners are standing togeth-
er, and many non-unionists will be
with them in the strike called for
April 1.
Approximately 600 900 union min
ers will quit work, leaving few
of their number in the mines to
guard against serious damage, such
as might result from the falling of
props. This aid by the miners IS
pledged in the international agree
ment. The number of the prop
men and engineers in each mine
will range from one to eight or
more, who will work right through
the strike,

DEATH HOVERS
OVER FAMOUS
Black TWINS
Surgeons Knife May
SaUe One If Other
Dies.

Chicago, March 29.-Death still
lurked in the shadows of the hos
pital room where lie Josepfa and
Rosa Black, the twins who were
joined at birth and have been called
the "Siamese twins" They con-
tinued in virtually an unconscious
state, ,Josepfa entirely oblivious of
her surroundings and Rosa in a
comatOSe condition.
The long talked of operation TO
separate them is contingent on the
death of one, which, physicians
have said, would mean the death
of the other. Should Josepfa die
of the yellow jaundice which has
stricken both, Rosa might possibly
live two or three days but death
would be certain without an opera
ton, DR.. Benjamin Breakstone said.
The success Of an operation, the
physicians have said, would depend
on whether the sisters each con-
stitutes a separate physical and
psychological entity. The mere
separation of flesh and bone would
be easy, according to the physic-
ians, but the effect of the operation
on the mental and nervous systems
have been considered highly prob
lematical.
Pulses Now Different.
Each of the sisters has individ-
ual heart, lungs and stomach
Josepfa, who was stricken first, is
most desperately i'll. The disease
communicated to Rosa. Until last
night the temperature and pulse
Of the twins had been virtually
identical. But last night Josepfa's
temperature mounted to 80 and her
pulse to 100, while Rosa's tenn
perature and pulse remained about
normal at SO and 85 respectively.
An attorney has been at the
twins bedside ready to write their
wills should they become con-
scious. Rosa's 12-year-old son,
Frantz, and the mothers brother,
Frank, remain constantly at the
bedside.

had driven by automobile from

that it is hard job to pass legis-
lation in the interest of the people"
the governor asked the support of
the voters for those candidates who
have announced they will support
him.
