on the stair he rises-expeetant.
The jury of IL men and one wom-

DR.. Jacobs killed FRITZ Mann.
They retired at 1858 this morn
ing and it was believed they would
be ont many hours.
Five verdiets under Judge s. NJ.
Marsh g instructions, are open to
the jurors: First degree murder
with no recommendation, which
means the death penalty must be
inflicted; first degree murder with
life imprisonment; second degree
murder; manslaughter, or acquittal.
At noon court was recessed until
. o clock and the jurors, in charge
of bailiff We're taken to lunch.
Seven minutes after the jurors
retired with sheaf of papers con
tanning the judges instructions, a
deputy sheriff called for Jacobs.
Back to Jail
''You might as we'll go back" ;" he
said.
He wants me to go back to
jail,' said Jacobs to Pau! w.
Schenck, his chief counsel.
You'd better do that, Louis"
said Schenck. "You IL be better
off down there than you will up
here while you are waiting.''
Jacobs was solemn but apparently
confident. He left the courtroom
and in the crowc became separated
from ''Bill' Ozmun, his bailiff.
- have trouble in keeping with
you fellows said Jacobs, smiling.
Many of the judges instructions
were given at the request of the
defense, particularly those referring
to the corpus delecti' and proof
of it, the principal issue in the ease
next to the direct charge that Jac-
obs murdered the dancing girl.

NEW YORK, April l6.-Have we
grown so used to prosperity that
people do not recognize it when
they see it? One is still asked tho
question if prosperity is here.
Certainly, prosperity is here. With
the exception of the farmers, we
are III n period of abounding pros
ttrity. Labor is fully employed,
although not 50 fully but we may
not still hope for some additional
employment. Wages have advanced
more rapidly than prices have risen.
Labor ch the whole is effective.
The total volume of production
labor and the capital employed. The
banking situation is thoroughly
sound. Money is not easy, but be
cause there is proper spirit of con
servativeness and the banks are not
using the federal reserve system in
n way to bring about initiation.
There is a sufficient supply of new
capital so that enterprise is expand
ing.
Foreign Trade Good
It is true that Europe is making
little if any real progress in econ
Omic recovery. Nevertheless our
foreign trade is large-iarge enough
at least SO we could not greatly in
crease it with our present labor
supply and contiue tC meet domes-
tic demands. | have felt for some
time that we could have large
measure Of prosperity in spite OF
the bad situation in Europe.
If we keep our heads, dom eur
tail productiveness or unfairly ad-
vance prices, | believe we can con
tinue the prosperous situation FOR Il
good while to come.

Steerage
Ry United Press Leased Wire

NEW YORK, April 16.-Five
hundred and fifty Irish, arriving in
the steerage of the Cunarder Car
mania today, were declared by sew
eral of their number to be membera
of the Irish republican army.
The informants refused to give
their names, saying if they did so
they would be traitors to the cause
of Irish freedom, but talked freely
of their exploits in the war against
the Free State and said the irregu-
lars had come here because there
was to be a lull in the fighting. The
insurgents in Ireland have not given
up, they declared but are going to
wait while before renewing active
warfare upon the national govern
ment.
Two hundred of the alleged irreg-
ulars left the Carmania at Boston.
British Passports
The irregulars got through the
gates at Ellis Island on British
passports. Some admitted that
these had been supplied by the
Free State government, which
wished them removed.
Several said. they were "tired
of the turmoil" of fighting that
'"leads no where,' and that they
had friends and relatives to care
for them here in America. No one
at Ellis Island knew the men had
served in the rebel army and no
effort was made to detain them.

HARDING VISITS IN CANADA
Public viii Responsible for Friendly
Relations, Says President.

Vancouver, B. president Hard
ng in an address made during his
visit here-the first visit ever made
by an American president to Canada
pointed to the century old friend
ship between the people Of Canada
and the people of the United States
as proof to the nations of Europe that
public will rather than public force is
the key to international peace.
1T is public will, not public force,
that makes for enduring peace" he
told his audience of Canadians, gath
cred in Stanley Park. "And is it not
a gratifying circumstance that it has
fallen to the lot of US North Ameri-
cans, living amicably for more than a
century under different flags, to pre-
SEN the most striking example yet
produced of that basic fact? If only
European countries would heed the
lesson conveyed by Canada ard the
United States, they would strike at
the root OF disagreements, and in their
own prosperity, forget to inveigh con
at ours"

Berlin-The traffic blockade i'm

Allied authorities announced here.
A serious food shortage in the occu'

enter unless the oceupiers' tax was
paid, and this the Germans had re-
fused TO do.
1t is this ban on traffic which has
been raised.
The frontier separating the Ruhr
valley from the rest of Germany has
been opened.
Thousands Of Germans were passing
In and out of the occupied region.
Making haste to transact argent bust
ness. They were anxious to accomplish
all possible during the present oppor-
tunity because OF reports that the
frontier would be closed again in a
few days.
