MURDER AL|bIS

Marion, ILL.,, Dec. 22.-Motions
filed by the defense. asking that all
evidence introduced by the state,
be excluded and that the court d.
rect verdict Of mot guilty., were
denied today at the trial Of five
men on charges Of murder in con-
nection with the Herrin riots.
Marion, ILL.,, Dec. 22.-Witnesses
from . list Of several hundred were
in court today prepared to testify
In defense in the case Of i've men
on trial for murder.
The state rested its case yester-
day afternoon and adjournment
was taken until today to allow the
defense to gather It's witnesses.
A. w. Kerr, counsel for the de-
fense, in a statement after the
state rested its case, said he would
seek to prove that the accused men
could have had no part in the kill
fnEs. He also asserted that the de-
tense would seek to impeach tes-
ttmony given by several states wit
nesses that they had seen the de-
fendants with guns the day of the
rioting or had seen them shooting
at some Of the victims.
Under the Illinois law there are
no degrees Of murder and the Jury
will be compelled to return a sep

fendants and also, if it finds them
guilty, to fix the penalty, ranging
from one years imprisonment to
death.

D. S. NAY FIX AMOUNT OF
CERMAnY'S PREPARATION
PAYMENTS TO The ALLIES
Suggest Naming commis-
sion to Take Charge Of
Europe's Problems.

Washington, Dec. 22.-The ques-
ton of America extending aid to-
ward solving the economic trou-
bles of Europe has been brought
sharply to the front with the
emerging of plan under which
an American commission would
determine what Germany should
pay the Allies In reparations.
The proposal so far has been dis
cussed outside the formal channels
Of diplomacy but an understanding
In authoritative circles has been
developed through an exchange Of
views that the United States, Great
Britain and Germany are willing
to assent to the creation of such
q commission. Premier Poincare,
Of France, is expected to make a
decision on the plan when he has
concluded series Of conferences
with Industrial leaders Of France
and OF Germany.
From the beginning Of the pres
ent discussions Washington Off
cials have been unwilling to do
more than hint that way was be-
ing sought to render aid toward
European settlement and have re-
fused to discuss the plan for an
American commission. Secretary
Hughes, last night, however, is
sued brief statement which avoid
ed any mention of details and said
that the government" had pre-
sented mo proposal" ON the sub
ject. The method Of sounding out
all those directly interested before
any definite proposal" is submit
ted with the, full force of govern
ment authority Id a familiar one In
negotiations of great delicacy. The
secretary's statement recalled an
assertion several days ago by a
White house spokesman, who in
discussing the American attitude
toward Europe, said 1t would not
be proper to display on the stage
all that Was taking place behind
the scenes.

FARMERS WILL
CUT ACREAGE
FOR POTATOES
OUerproducfion Is the
Cause of Big Loss
es This Year.

Chicago, Dec. %. - Decreased
acreage, better marketing plans, in
creased storage facilities and new
markets are being considered BY
middle western farmers who lost
money raising potatoes this year,
according to a summary of the sit
uation in five potato raising states.
The five states, Michigan, Kan
sas, Nebraska, North Dakota and
Minnesota, raised approximately
10O,000,00O bushels of potatoes this
year, but reports from most Sec
tions indicate the growers lost
money.
The reason is variously ascribed
to over-production, car shortage
and lack of storage facilities.
Twelve million bushels of po-
tatoes remain undug in the Red
River Valley of Minnesota, accord
ing to o. p. D. Jacobson, chairman
of the Minnesota Railroad and
warehouse commission.
Nebraska farmers this year in
creased their potato acreage, in
creased the yield per acre, and then
found the increased crop was worth
$3,262,103 less than the small
er crop of the previous year.
North Dakota farmers raised
100000 bushels this year, an in
crease of 100000 since 1921. Sew
eral towns have erected large pota-
to warehouses to handle the sur
plus.
Michigan which led the country
as potato producing state, ac-
cording to 1920 census, produced
37,S56,000 bushels this year, an in
crease of 16,600.000 bushels. But
the price dropped from san aver
age of IS cents a bushels in 1921 to
So cents this year.
