This motor, an E.2 Wright,

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept. /.
Ills it possible to find an Ameri-
can jury willing to send a pretty
woman to the gallows, no matter
what her crime?
Cameron Orr, county prose-
eutor here, preparing his case
against Marie Peggy" Beal,
modern "Thuvia, Maid Of Mars"
accused Of numbering F. Warren

and termed cher perfect lover" !"
asked that question today and an
swered it.
"Juries are made of men and
men are made of clay" Orr said.
''Ne matter what the crime,
American juries will not exact
Vthe death penalty Of a woman. "
Conviction Doubted.
Orr said he had gone deep into the
records Of recent cases in which
women have been the defendants.
"Such brilliant prosecutors as
Thomas Lee Woolwine. Of Los
Angeles: Forest Hughes. Of Okla.
homa City: Philip Van Cise, of Den.
yer, and Matthew Brady. Of San
Francisco. have lost perfect cases
because they sought to convict
women Of first degree murder"
Orr announced he was considering
the filing of second degree
charge against Peggy" Beal.
IF a prosecutor can make men OF
jury believe a pretty woman is
getting Off light. they may vote for
conviction. Otherwise. women go free
and defeat the ends of justice. II
II one Of the weaknesses Of American
law" Orr said.

JEALOUS SHIP
ACENTSFORU J.. 5.
State Department Starts In
quiry-ousted for Soliciting
Business for Vessels.
By JOHN GOLDsTR0M,
Universal Service.

Because they were too successful
in getting business for United States
Shipping Board vessels in compe.
tition with British ships. American
Consul Fred c. Slater and Vice
Consul Russell M. Brooks. at New
Castle-oE.Tyne. have been virtually
expelled from England by the British
government. the State Department
was advised today. ..
The State Department is in.
vestigating with a view to protesting
II the circumstances warrant such
action. Meanwhile II has closed the
consulate at New Castle-on-T Tyne.
and sent Consul Slater to Coruna In
Spain and Vice Consul Brooks TO
Dresden In Germany.
The action taken by the British
government consisted in canceling
Slater's and Brooks exequaturs---
their recognition as American Of
ficials with a right to do business in
Great Britain for the United States
Government The British foreign
office then notified Ambassador
George Harvey at the American
embassy.
Opening Of Ship War.
Until the investigation is complete
the United States is without repre-.
sentation in one Of the most i'm
portant ports in Europe. The action
Of the British is interpreted here as
the firing Of the first gun by Great
Britain in what is expected to be a
bitter shipping war between British
interests and American.
1t was said at the State Depart
ment, in comment upon a news dis
patch from London through which
the affair became known, that the
United States Government recognizes
the right of the British government
to cancel the yexequaturs Of ths
American consular officials pending
the inquiry to determine whether
the latter have exceeded their Of
ficial prerogatives in their zeal for
American interests. The same thing
has been done by the American and
other governments in previous
instances.
in the absence Of Secretary nf
State Hughes, Undersecretary
Phillips would issue no official state
ment.
A State Department official said
! that no one was being sent to take
the places Of Slater and Brooks. for
the reason that the department at
| present had no available officials to
take their places.
Duty Of Agents.
This official pointed out that one
of the principal functions cf con-
sular representatives was to promote
American business. in foreign coun.
tries, of course within reasonable
limits and barring irregular acts.
The charge of the British gover9r
ment is that Consul Slater and his
assistant "coerced" British subjects
into using American vessels both for
passenger and business traffics.
Where legitimate zeal leaves off and
voercion begins in this case may be
expected to provide grounds for dis
cussion between the two govern
ments, II not an emphatic protest.
It is pointed out by American
shipping interests that II British
subjects themselves preferred to uss
American ships instead Of their own
II Is not exactly sporting" Of
British interests to complain.

Twenty Years Ago"


Twenty years ago, Childers wrote
a book wherein he made out a Der.
feet case, for an astounding kind of
superspy-working In the English
secret service. His ingenious scheme
was nothing less than having a spy
join the extreme faction in the enemy
country and lead them to excesses
that eventually would bring about a
desired war. That was Childers of
twenty years ago.
Let us look into his activities as
the champion Of the cause of Irish
freedom, keeping in mind this scheme
he sponsored.
Darrell, an Irishman, went 70
Belgium in 1914 and bought 1000
rifles and ammunition In Liege. A
Belgian seagoing tug transported the
purchase to an agreed rendezvous IN
the North Sea, where the cargo was
transhipped to Childers' yacht. Even.
tually we got possession Of the guns
and ammunition--and the world pre-.
sently learned OF the guns at Howth.

Increase Of 7E Per Cent Made on Mis-

No man who Is milking a herd of
a dozen or more cows can ever hope
to make maximum returns from his
herd without a silo, according to f.
NJ. Harmon, dairy extension specialist
for the Missouri College of Agricul-
ture. This statement was proved by
the Missouri Cow Testing associations
during the past year, as shown in the
following results:
Cows receiving silage produced an
average of 5,79S pounds of milk, 266.S
pounds of fat and a profit above feed
cost of S10S.6O per o W Cows with
out silage averaged $3.50 pounds of
milk, 252.7 pounds of fat and a profit
of $101.02 per COW. The difference
was 600 pounds of milk, 1870 pounds
of fat and $7.5s cents per COW in one
year.
This an increase of IA per
cent in profit due to the silo. The
average man would go a long way to
market his wheat for IA per cent
more. 1t Is worth that much to build
