SHAME ON HELEN!
Hall Case Quashed;
Simpson Protests

that anyone disobeyinR his orders
would be In contempt Of court.
Another newspaper man rose at
the press table and shouted his
protest against the rough treatment
of the reporter. The Judge righted
bad situation by quietly admon

The verdict was returned at 6:4S
.. M, hours and minutes after
the noted case was placed in the
hands Of the jury.
It was said today that the elderly
jurors took but two ballots, and
that the first one was ten for
acquittal and two for conviction
The Jurors after 1t was all over
still were testy over the charges
that they had been lax in their
duty, that days ago they had made
up their minds to free the defend
ants and that one or two OF them
had brazenly dozed during the trial.

owner whose affidavit was the
basis for Senator Simpsons move
for mistfta1.
While Young was engaged in
his rumpus with the aged Van
Dopen. other jurors refused to com.
ment on the deliberations. They
have, several informed reporters,
entered a secrecy compact"
Most Of the Jurors already had
left the Colonial Hotel, owned by
Van Doren, before the fight gtart-
ed. Young met Van Doren in the
upstairs hallway Of the hotel.
ivan Doren, you are liar to
have said these things about U.S."
I'm not, and you know It,"
The argument continued, Young
bereating the aged hotel owner,
and Van Doren insisting that he
had told the truth.
young, you know that I'm a
fair man. I've loaned you money.
Yes, ] know, you've paid it back.
But / told the truth about what

At this point Young's nerves
reaches the breaking point, and he
cried out again:
"You are a liar"
With this he struck Van Doren
with his first. The blow was hard,
and the infirm old man staggered
as reporter pushed the juror back
and stopped the fight.
Newspaper Men Leave
With the famous trial over, an
exodus of newspaper men, literary
lights, telegraph operators and
photographers has begun. The
tired reporters for the most part
were glad to leave. having filed
approximately 100000 words in
the last month-the heaviest word

history with the exception of the
World War.

COURTESY TO AMERICANS

England, unlike France, is not making hostile
demonstrations against American tourists, but is try
ing to attract and hold them The government is CO.
operating in this effort with the hotel and ransporta-
'tion interests
Some OF the methods adopted suggest sort of en-
terprlse which we usually think of as American rather
than British Mayors throughout Great Britain have
oeen asked to prepare publicity matter setting forth
the attractions OF their cities and surroundings
britain wants to get Of the tourist money
that Is now spent in France From present Indications
she likely to succeed When the French make things
unpleasant Tor Americans, Americans naturally stop
gong there and II there is any other country that in
eress the average American as much as France is
England.
The British have their grievances, real or mag
mary, against America, the French have But they
are less disposed to show them in public, get excit
ed about them. The British better able than the
french to discuss difference Of opinion dispassion-
atelI and impersonally There may be debate among
statesmen and journalists and unpleasant filings In
some OF the British newspapers, but there is no mob
bng on the street and little evidence Of personal
dislike shown to tourists going decenty about their own
affairs
It will doubtless be found by European friends
that courtesy Is business to nation no less han
