NATIONAL DAILY IS
 METHODISTS' PLAN
Hope to Establish Great Protes,
 tant Newspaper

New York. April S.-A movement to. establish "a great national news paper to be printed daily except Sum- day in at least three great centers' which would provide "a suitable and satisfactory mouthpiece for the pro- testantism of our whole country" re- ceived support today at the New York Methodist conference.
 A resolution by the Rev. James J. Henry of Poughkeepsie. offered on behalf of the pastors of the Pough- keepsie district. asked the conference to memoralize the general conference which meets in Springfield, Mass, next month for authorization of the paper.
 We suggest the resolution said, that should this undertaking seem to be of too great magnitude as a de- nominational enterprise, appropriate steps be taken to secure the coopera- tion of other denominations for the speedy consumation of the purposes of this memorial in providing a news paper in every sense worthy of the great constituency it will at once com mand and seek to serve.''
 The resolution was referred to a committee.
 The Poughkeepsie district delegates also suggested memorial to the Springfield conference calling for the elimination of several secretarial posi- tions under the general board. and for general reorganization of the church department.

Own Your Own Home" Campaign May Result In Formation Of a New Financing Corpo- ration.

In a real constructive effort to en- courage the building of private homes by New Britain people. the New Brit ain Chamber of Commerce has decid- the city two or three model homes and it is altogether possible a plan for financing the erection of these homes will be evolved in a short time. At a meeting held in the Chamb Der rooms, at which representatives of all lines of business were present from the real estate man who sells the lot. to the man who supplies the furniture 1t was decided most enthusia stica fly 10 go ahead with this project. The plan Is in line with the Own Your Own Home" campaign.
 There is a shortage of homes in the city at the present time and if New Britain is to grow the Chamber feels it must spread out with its one family homes and cottages. As a re- suit of the meeting, a committee was appointed to go further into the de- tails of such campaign. consisting of
 
 A. A. Mills. J. R. Andrews. Steve Robb. Bernard Stein, William H. AL len, W. l.. Hatch, Isaac Black. Harold Shepard and R. Q. Clark.
 committee was appointed last night to bring in plans for brick house and plans for frame house, to- gether with the costs. these to be pre- sented at a meeting of the committee to be held next week.
 It was further decided at the com mittee meeting that a moving pie ture be taken of the homes at various stages of construction and arrange ments he made to have the pictures shown in the local theaters during the campaign to arouse interest and en- courage prospective homo owners The committee will meet again next Wednesday afternoon at 1 o'clock, at which time definite plans for the campaign will be outlined.
 According to Mary E. Curtin, sec retary, The Chamber of Commerce, in launching such a campaign, feels that family that owns it's own home takes pride in 1t, maintains 1t bet ter, gets more pleasure out of it, and has more wholesome and healthfnl atmosphere in which to bring mp chill dren. The home owner has con- structive aim in life. He works hard CT outside his home: he spends his leisure more profitably and he and his family live a finer life and enjoy more of the comforts of our modern civilization. As direct taxpayer. he lakes a more active part in local gov ernmeat. Homo owners make better citizens ard as result. they are boosters for their own community. They are part of it."

SWEE TIN So YEARS
Jury Returns Verdict Of Guilty
After Being Deadlocked---
New Trial Requested

MOUNT VERNON, ILL.,. Dec.
24.---Lawrence M. Hight and
Mrs. Elsie Sweetin have been
found guilty of murder and sem
fenced.
The jury trying Hight and
Mrs. Sweetin today arrived at a
decision altar being deadlocked
for several hours.
Earlier in the day, press dis
patches stated that it seemed
then that the Jury would fail to
reach a verdict.
Hight was give nlife imprison-
ment when sentenced by the pre-
siding judge.
Mrs. Sweetin was given thirty
five years in the penitentiary.
Both defendants received the
verdict in silence with no dis
play of emotion whatsoever.
Attorneys for both defend
ants have asked fora new trial.
The trial of Hight and Mrs.
Sweetin, Jointly charged with
administering poison to MILFORD
Swcetin, husband OF Mrs.
Sweetin, was rushed to a con-
'clusion yesterday by the presid-
ing judge.
In its argument to the jury late
Tuesday the State demanded the
death penalty for the murder oil
MILFORD Sweetin.
Counsel for Mrs. Syeetin, on the
other hand, appealed to the jury tx
SEND her back to her children, hui
added: Whatever your verde;
MAYBE, she will take It with smile
for innocence meets death with {
smile.
Robert j., smith, attorney for
Mfs. sweetin, emphasized that Thu
Testimony showed hight had beer
with Z Jford sweetin frequently be-
fore his death and had opportunity
TO administer poison to him. 8lrs,
Sweetin's alleged confessions "a
said, were simply what Hight had
told her to tell.
Il am not prosecuting Lawrence
N Hight, neither am L defending
Hight said ATTORNEY. Smith in open
ing his argument IF sweetin did
ole from poison there is no sest3
n'ony that Elsie had anything to
do with it.
AS to those confessions. Elsie
sweetin was supposed to have made
at Salem, I'll say to yeu thai the
testimony Of Mrs. Sweetin herself
tells you that she was trSing to tell
what Hight told her to ten and not
what she did,
The attorney then went into
Nights confession sand statements
and reminded the jury that thew
were under instructions of the court
that they must not take these into
consideration in judging the wcm-
