HERRIN JURORS
FREE Miners
Five Defendants Are Found Not
Guilty in Massacre
Case.
ELEVEN FARMERS ON JURY
Vote to Acquit After Deliberation of
TWenty-six Hours-State Case
Rested on Direct Tes-
timony.

Marion, Ill, Jan. 2O.-All five de-
PENDANTS in the Herrin massacre case
were acquitted by the jury here, after
tWentysix hours elaboration. The de-
PENDANTS were charged with the MUIR
der of Howard Hoffman during the
riot.
When the news was given out that
Judge ,HartWell had been summoned
to receive a verdict, the courtroom
filed quickly. Before calling the jury
into the courtroom, Judge HartWell
cautioned the spectators against any
demonstration.
The jury then entered. Foreman
James Weaver handed the verdict to
the judge. In a slow, level tone the
judge read the contents of the paper.
First he read the acquittal verdict
for Leva Mann, and then he read SIM
liar verdicts for the four others:
Joe Carnaghi, Peter Hitler, Bert
Frace and Otis Clark.
Mindful of the courts warning, the
spectators remained silent. There was
no surging forward to congratulate
the acquitted defendants, nor did any
of the free men rush to shake the
hands of the jurors.
Instead the crowd filed out of the
courtroom, while the jury left through
another exit, into the jury room.
It Is believed that the jury decided
in favor of four of the defendants on
the first ballot. and that the remain
ing time was consumed in debating
the verdict on the other defendant
All of the defendants are miners
except Peter Hitler, who is a taxi
driver. Eleven of the jurors were
farmers, two Of these being former
miners. The twelfth juror is union
miner who farms part of the time.
The state produced witnesses who
made direct charges against each of
the defendants, some of, whom were
accused of especially brutal conduct.
The defense retorted by placing on
the stand witness after witness who
swore to alibis for the accused men.

WANT INDIES CONTROL
Drys Strong for U. S. Ownership
of Islands.
Vice President Coolidge Favors Ac'
QUESTION, but Says Residents Must
Be Consulted.

Washington, Jan. 18.-Strong senti-
ment has developed in both houses of
congress in favor of the proposal OF
acquisition of the British and French
West Indies in part payment OF the
war debts owed the United States by
Great Britain and France.
Vice President Coolidge and many
ether leaders who favor acquisition OF
the islands in the interest of strength
ening the natural defenses of CONT
mental United States and the Panama
canal, have been joined by the drys.
t"Tha reason for our interest in these
possessions" said Vice President Coo
lidge, lis increased by our interest in
the Panama canal They are natural
means to its approach, as well as nat
ural barriers for it's defense.
1T will be necessary to consult ex-
perts in order to make determine
ton of the. financial value which
would accrue from these possible an
nexations. That is only one element
to consider, but a most important ele-
ment. 1t would be highly desirable, If
not absolutely necessary, to secure
some expression of opinion from the
people most interested, who are the
people resident in these localities"
Senator Mckinley (Rep., nl.), who
has travelled extensively in. the West
Indies, is opposed to the purchase.
Senator Willis (Rep., Ohio, one of
the authors of the Campbell-Willis
anti-beer bill, and Senator Sterling
(Rep., S. D. commonly regarded as
the leader of the more radical drgs in
the senate, declared themselves strong
ly in favor of acquiring the West In
dian islands.

Luminous House Numbers.

One of the most disconcerting ex-
periences of the city dweller is that of
searching in the dark for a house num-
Der. If the hour is late, the situation
Is especially embarrassing, for the in
nocent visitor is liable to be mistaken
for u prowler.
But thanks TO science, the old days
are past, and the time is not far dis
tant when probably every city house
will be numbered with figures which
are easily readable on the darkest
night and at n considerable distance.
A Chicago concern has adarted the
use of luminous radium to house num-
bering signs, and the idea is being re-
ceived with great favor by the public.
The first cost is reasonable, and there
Is no upkeep cost, the sign being self
luminous and requiring no attention.
The product is guaranteed 10 show
light In the dark for five years. al
though the actual life is much longer.

WHEN AN ENGINE OVERHEATS
Don't Blame Cooling System as Mix
ture Furnished by Carburetor
May Be Cause.

Don't always blame the cooling sys-
TEN when the engine overheats. The
mixture supplied by the carburetor
may be causing the trouble, perhaps
being too rich. Possibly the spark is
not advanced far enough; maybe
the oiling system is clogged or for
som reason is not properly lubrlcat-
Ing the mechanism of the power plant.
1t might even be possible that the IAN
belt is slipping. thus preventing the
fan from doing its full duty. Then
there are the brakes. They may be
dragging because the bands are too
tight, a condition which can be dis
covered only by lacking up the rear
wheels and noting whether or not
they turf freely.

HOUSE SHOULD BE INSULATED
From the Standpoint Of Health and
Comfort, Proceeding Ought to Be
Considered Imperative.

Besides being a most effective insu-
lation, some materials act as a substi-
tute for lumber in outside sheathing,
as a plaster base and as an Interior fin
ish for rooms. Taking into account the
materials displaced, eliminated and re-
duced, there are many cases in which
the cost of insulation is fully offset and
the home with insulation car be built
as cheaply as one without it.
An important advantage of insulat-
ing houses, not expressed in dollars
and cents, is the uniformity of temper
AZURE they maintain. Obviously, if
the walls and root offer effective re-
sistance to the escape of heat, the tenn
perature of the room must remain
more nearly constant than when heat
Is rapidly passing through the walls.
Uniform temperature means comfort
in every part of the room without the
necessity of "~hugging" the radiator.
Uniform temperature prevents ILL
ness and gives comfort. 1t is obvious
that properly insulated buildings pro-
viding such economies and comforts
during the winter months will prove
exceptionally cool in the hot months of
the year, as insulation effects a more
evenly regulated temperature, keeping
the heat out in summer as IL keeps the
heat inside in the winter.
Failure to ~insulate a house, built at
this time, is wasteful N inefficient.

HOME TOWN" WORTH WHILE
Where the Citizens Pull Together on
All Things That Will Benefit
the Community.

The real home town, on the broad,
helpful basis, isn't far to seek.
Ther are many of them here, at
home, as elsewhere-towns of COM
munity interest, where the people pull
together on all worthy lines, such as
the Hartwell (Ga.) sun describes in
the following paragraph:
Our town is the town of happiness.
We strive for something more than
business. We strive for friendliness,
one with another, which makes life
worth while. We have a family circle
in which every inhabitant counts me.
Our motto is One for All and All for
One And we want to play the same
game with our neighbors everywhere.
Life is the game of brotherhood, and
our town is building on that basis"
There could be no better basis upon
which to build; for, by striving for
something more than business, bust
ness itself is served and benefited.
The motto, "One for All, and All for
One" takes in all that contributes to
the growth and prosperity of the real,
home town-the town of happiness"
The best advertisement any town
could have is to say of it: The people
pull together there"
That is the real, progressive home
town.-Louisville Courier-Journal.

DON'T WASH CAR
T00" FREQUENTLY
Expert on Automobile Finishes
Explains Why There Are So
Many Shabby Machines.

Here is the opinion of an expert
on automobile body finishes:
THE idea that a car must be
washed every time dust has ccum
lated on it is a mistake.
Every time a car Is washed the
varnish Is raised slightly and the
enamel is dulled. 1t would seem nee
essary on account of heavy road mud
to wash a car, but 1t isn't.
Mud Gets on Rear.
Mud generally gets on the rear
half of the body and the running
gear. Washing the running gear
will not materially affect the general
appearance of a car If it does lose its
ulster. 1t Is the body of a car that
catches the eye. Sprayed mud on a
car can easily be removed by the use
OF a soft cloth drawn lightly back and
forth over the surface until 1t crum-
bles away. 1t is not necessary to
use pressure. Light lufing accom-
plishes the trick.
Any white dust left on the finish
after this has been done will act as a
n polishing powder when a good
polish is used.
t keep a finish in the best pos
sible condition, 1t is necessary to use
a cleaner ono in 90 days to smooth.
clean and polish the surface. Clean
ers always contain securing powders,
but a preparation of this nature
should not be used as a regular treat
ment, as once the dirt and grayness
have been removed from finish a
cleaner Will remove some of the good
finish In each application. Therefore,
as a general wash and polish in one
application, a preparation very light
In cleaning element, with preserva-
tive properties, should be used. II
this treatment is followed, the finish
on an automobile will be deep in
shine and will not require refnishing
for months and sometimes years.
Keep Enamel Bright.
The enamel on a car can be kept
In bright condition indefinitely, while
1t Is only natural for varnish to keep
bright as long as there is life in 1t.
Water is not always free from al
ALI. Alkali will eat up varnish.
Soap cannot be made without the use
of alkali, and no matter how much
oil and tallow are used, the alkali
stays alive.
drawing the channels skin over an
enamel surface dulls II a little In
every movement and in the course of
three months of washing treatment,
h enamel surfaces on a car turn
gray. This never happens If a good
reliable polish is used instead"

~

Undue wear on tires is caused by
webbing wheels.
Never dip rags or cotton waste into
the gasoline tank to obtain fuel for
printing.
II is better TO overoil the engine
than to give too little; use oil and
saw the engine.
A self-starter makes less noise
when the car Is In rear and It is pro-
pelling the entire machine.
II is old stun to say that sprung
vehicles pull easier than inspiring
ones, but II seems to be generally for
gotten, nevertheless.
