Lloyd George Declares Free
Nations of Earth I'M
periled by Wave Of
Autocracy.
Cites Russia's Example
BY Associated Press.

Chicago, Oct. 16.-Five years after
the world war, democracy which in
1918 won a great victory over autoc-
racy. is in peril. David Lloyd George.
the war time premier of Great Bri-
tain, declared in a luncheon address
here today. A wave Of autocracy
seems to be sweeping over the world,
he said, but against it the United
State, Great Britain and France will
stand together.
Russia threw over democracy
few months after starting the exper-
iment," the former premier asserted.
ITALY, Spain. Bulgaria and now Ger
many is talking about a dictatorship.
Democracy is in peril, in peril five
years after the greatest triumph de-
mocracy has ever had.
why is democracy more sure,
safer? 1t Is slower to begin, 1t does
not bring its forces into action in the
way perhaps an autocracy does, but
in a struggle 1t Is the heart that tells,
and democracy sustains the heart.
and what happens Is that democratic
institutions alone can produce and
train men that are able to appeal TO
nations, to rise to those heights Of
sacrifice which are the last citadels
of freedom in all lands.
Now when democracy is In dang
er, when I can see the throne of de-
mocracy tumbling In one land after
another, here you have a land of de-
mocracy. Britain is a land OF de-
mocracy, and France, I believe. viii
stand by democracy, and whatever
happens these three great lands to-
gether viii stand against this wave OF
autocracy which seems to be sweeping
over the world"
The arrival of the distinguished Wis
itor In the city was marked by
great demonstration. Met at the sta
ton by a reception committee headed
by Mayor Dever. Lloyd George was
taken on a drive through the loop
section. preceded by a band from the
Great Lakes naval training station
and an escort Of cavalry, and flanked
and followed by mounted police and
official cars. Crowds packed the side
walks while others hung from win
dows and other places OF vantage high
up on the buildings. Confetti and
streamers filled the air, while there
vas a continuous roar of welcome as
the automobile bearing the former
premier with barred head passed
through the streets

Very democratic city. Parked I'M

Not greatly embarrassed, of course,

Interesting and attractive display Of

Bonacci Found
Guilty Of Attack
on Wife With Ak
jury Out Is Minutes-Expert
Testimony on Mans Mental
State Given by DIR.
Young.

Ater Is minutes deliberation the
jury in District Judge Goss' court try
ing Raffele Bonacci last evening re-
turned a verdict Of guilty of assault
with intent to do great bodily injury
TO his wife, whom he attacked with
an ak June "a.
A few moments after the jury filed
out at 4:45 Judge Goss called the
members back to receive additional
instructions. Formerly he told them
to find Bonacci either guilty Of as
sault with intent to commit great
bodily injury, guilty of assault and
battery, or innocent. He recalled
them to add that they might find him
innocent on account of insanity, in
which case he would be committed to
the insane hospital.
Expert testimony about the possi-
bilities of the case was adduced by
DIR. Alexander Young Of the Univer-
sity of Nebraska college Of medicine.
DR.. Young expressed the theory that
an uneducated and impulsive Italian
might do what Bonacci did the night
Of June "a and be perfectly sane
meanwhile. He admitted on cross ex-
animation that, II the motive were
no more than anger over his wifeT
automobile ride, the act suggested
epilepsy or some other nervous
seizure.
Coffey, attorney for the defense
maintained that Bonaoci suffered
from hysteric atonia at the time he
attacted his wife, and quoted from
Dr. Young's testimony in another
trial to indicate that a man in that
condition could not distinguish be-
tween right and wrong.
Malcolm Baldrige, deputy county
attorney argued that Bonacci had
had friction with his family for years
and had deliberately set about to kin
his wife. He cited Bonaccis act In
cutting the telephone wires before he
made the attack, and In throwing UP
his hands when the police officers
found him In the back yard. az evi-
dences of sanity and of recognition
of the consequences of his act.
Ralph Bonacci. who sat with his
mother and sister in the courtroom
throughout nearly the whole trial, re-
mained at the courthouse to learn
the verdict Of the jury upon his
father.
