 Another Discrepancy.
 Another discrepancy to which the authorities were giving much atten- tion was Schneider's statement that Hayes did the shooting at about one o'clock on the morning of September 15. A half dozen other witnesses have agreed in fixing the time at which they heard screams and shots between 10:30 and II o'clock on the night of the 14th

CHICAGO DARK AT NOON Low Clouds, Smoke and Lack of Wind Cause Strange Effect.

Chicago, Oct. 10.-At noon yester- day Chicago found itself in murky atmosphere which made it nearly as dark as night. Only with difficulty could a pedestrian see across the street. From all the show and office windows in the Loop" artificial lights gleamed.
 On State street all the show win dows were lighted and a majority of the automobiles in Michigan Boule- yard had their lights on Although the law only requires motor lights be- tween sunset and sunrise, policemen advised drivers to light up for safety's sake.
 On the lake front navigation lights were burning at noon. Carl Howell, mate at the river mouth coast guard station, said that fog and smoke cut down visibility so man on watch in lookout tower could not see 10G yards.
 ''rhe darkness was due to a com bination of heavy clouds, smoke and lack of wind" Forecaster Donnell said, "The heavy dark clouds are re- maining low over the city and the smoke coming from the thousands of factories and buildings is simply ac- cumulating."

RED GROSS IS WARNED
Mabel Boardman Speaks About De- parting From the Charter Purposes of Relief Work in Emergencies.

Washington, Oct. 10.--The Ameri- can Red Cross was warned by its sec- retary, Mabel T. Boardman, speaking at todays session of the organization s annual convention, against departure from the charter purposes of relief work in emergencies.
 Miss Boardman declared the cons gressional charter under which the Red Cross operates, authorized it to work for the relief of sufferers from war and great disasters. She added that a continuation and expansion of local relief work social service and related lines of activity would render the society liable to revocation of its charter and also to surrender of the property in Washington which it now occupies by the grace of the federal government.
 Continued demands by local chap ters for funds to carry on local relief work and local peace time services, Miss Boardman further told the con- vention would nullify endeavors to raise funds in time of great emerg- ency such as the present one in the Near East.

FAVOR MAJORITY
 VERDICT BE MADE
Judges Recommend That fl Out
 Of 12 Jurors Rule

Tallahassee, Fla, Oct. 1o.-Recom- mendation that the states legal code be amended so that majority" yer diets In both criminal and civil cases would suffice, was contained in the report of circuit judges who met here lat the call of Governor Cary A. Har- dee, to formulate proposed revision to the legislature at it's next session. The judges recommended that in cases where jury of 12 men is re- quired, the verdict of eleven be &C., cepted while in panels of six men, the opinion of five should prevail. Un- der the present state law, all except capital cases are tried by juries of six men.
 Other Plan Another recommendation deals with present procedure under which |. judge is automatically disqualified. in la case where two electors sign afYi- davits that he is prejudiced The judges suggested that the presiding judge be allowed to sit in judgment of himself in determining whether he would be prejudiced If the allegations set forth in the two affidavits were true. As an effort to thwart the free ing of law violators on technicalities the judges conference proposed that the state be given the riglr of appeal from the judgment of lower courts where cases are dismissed on demur- Ter, quashed indictments, or the like.
 Jury Selection.
 ;,;o Lo@ sel for the defendant shall have the last argument before the jury when defendant does not take the stand would be eliminated in the proposed changes. The conference also adopt ed Governor Hardee's suggestion that the jury selection method be stabilized by establishment in each county of 0 jury commission who would draw up for prospective jury service the names of not less than 290 nor more than 800 qualified male" persons. This with a view to improving the person. nel of juries
 No provision has been made in this state as yet for service on juries by women.
 The present law would be amended to allow the removal for trial to an- other county of criminals when, in the opinion of the governor, circuit judge or sheriff, fair trial would not be accorded in the immediate commun- ity.

TRADE MAY BE DAMAGED
Ruling Forbidding the Bringing of Liquor Within Three Mile Limit May Injure French Commerce.

Paris, Oct. 10.-(By Associated Press. )-The French government is closely studying the situation created by Attorney Gen. Daugherty's ruling that foreign vessels shall not be al- lowed to bring any wines or liquors inside the American three mile limit. What action will be taken eventually is still uncertain, but it seems most probable that Ambassador Jusserand will take back to Washington with him when he sails on October 21 in structions to set forth that the French foreign trade will be greatly damaged by this ruling. The ques- ton of it's validity under internation- al law may be raised as we'll as the bearing the ruling has on the ques- tion of the freedom of the seas.

OPPOSE PARTICIPATION
Allies Want Russians Kept Out of Conference for Restoration of Peace in Near East.

Paris, Oct. 10 (By Associated Press).-The participation of the Russian soviet government in the con- ference eventually to be held for the restoration of peace in the Near East will be opposed by the allies it Is said in well informed circles here. If the council of the league of na- tions, however. desires that Russia shall be represented in the regulation of the freedom of the Dardanelles there probably will be little resistance on the part of the allies.
 It seems now a foregone conclusion that the league will organize the Dardanelles conference to be held in Geneva. and the allied statesmen are little inclined to interfere with any arrangements the league council may see fit to make.
