WHERE THE FOUR-LEAF
 CLOVER GROWS
(Conainued from Page Two)

(CORalEued from Page lWG) thickly encrusted by what resembles precious stones.
 Were I asked what was the most distinctively Russian feature seen in this church, I should unhesitatingly say the ikons. They are pictorial re- I,presentations of the Savior, Virgin or some saint, with face and hands paint 1 ed and with figure and background of yellow and often of pure gold. They vary in size from a tiny one to those of gigantic proportions in the church es. A few of these precious ikons were brought over from Russia and these are encased in a frame of gold, and covered by a large plate glass, which is devoutly kissed by the faith ful worshipper as he rises from where he has prostrated himself in front cf it. It matters not whether the own CTS mode of life be good or bad from worldly standpoint, there on his wall is always to, be seen his or her ikOn, and always the very finest that it's owner can possibly afford. Those that hang permanently in houses have lamps filled with consecrated oil burning in front of them on feast and holidays, and many times daily do all stop and cross themselves in front of them, and always before a mouth full of food is taken at meals. Some of these are said to be capable of working miracles, and so great are their powers believed to be, that on special occasions they are removed from their resting places and taken to the bedside of the sick and suffer- ing or to bring good luck to a new house about to be occupied. The bishops, priests and monks never cut their hair or beard, their idea be- ing to resemble the Savior in looks as much as possible, and with their long, black gowns and gorgeous ceremonial robes of the bishop and the odor of burning incense, and amid the gilt tering of hundreds of lighted candles, the priests and worshippers concen- trate in one great and solemn thought -''that of the Savior"
 There is no organ in these churches, but the untrained voices of the young men chanting the Russian ritual give one the impression of sadness and sweetness with wierd harmony so characteristic of Russian music. The solemnity and pathos of the singing one can never forget, and my only regret is that I cannot convey it's ex- quisite beauty in words.

 A majority chose to appear in blue and grey sack suits black shoes and somber haberdashery. A size able minority wore cutaway coats and striped trousers,

Martin and Sons of Bristol, pay to the city the sum ot Sl50 for a building permit. lip 10 the present time they fave refused to do this, according to 8 statement made by Mr. Anderson to the city council last evening. their contention being that they have nothing to do with the city. but are working for the state.

 Such plans, Mr. Anderson stated last night, were not submitted until after the work was started and then not until he had requested them, X few days ago a representative of the contractor called al Mr. Anderson s office and requested the return of the plans, but was advised that it was necessary 10 hold them until the work was completed.

PEACE OF EUROPE IS
 ACTUALLY THREATENED
So Declares Lithuanian Premier in Address to
 League Council

Geneva, Dec. : Pl-Conditions which threaten to endanger the peace of eastern Europe now exist, Premier Waldemaras of Lithuania told the council of the League of Nations today, opening an attack on Poland in the present Polish -Lith- uanian controversy.
 Premier Waldemaras charged that the Polish minister at Riga promis- ed aid to Lithuanian refugees who were in Latvia conspiring against the Lithuanian regime, provided that they fulfilled certain conditions"
 The Lithuanian premier asked the council to hold Poland responsible for the organization on Polish soil of bands which he declared were fomenting strife in Lithuania.
 Finally he requested the council to order an inquiry into the alleged persecution of Lithuanians In the district of Wilma, including the clergy and into the closing of Lith- uanian schools.
 Foreign Minister Zaleski of Po- land. presenting the Polish case, asked the council to rule that the state of war" which Lithuania says exists between the two countries, is incompatible with the covenant of the League of Nations of which Lithuania is q member, and should be discontinued. He said that while only fictitious. the state of war might be transformed into a war of carnage by some unhappy incident.
 He also requested the council to rule that the Lithuanian attitude is danger to general peace.

State Brands Widows Story of Negro Slayers as False and Demands Death for Woman and Alleged Paramour.
Defense Replies That There Was No Motive for Murder, That De- fendant Was Loving Wife and Nursed Aged Doctor Rather Than EX terminated Him.

Court Room, Mays Landing, N. J.. Dec. z tP-The last pleas for the life and liberty of Mrs Marga ret Lilliendahl and Willis Reach, joint ly accused of the murder of the woman's husband, were addressed to the jury today.
 S,lmmations began when court opened and their progress indicated that the jury might get the case to- night.
 Counsel Enters Laughing.
 Counsel for Mrs. Margaret Lillieu- dahl and Willis Beach, entered court in group. laughing and chatting saily.
 The faces of the jurors were wreathed in smiles as the ninth and probably last days session opened.
 Nine year old Alfred Lilliendahl, son Of the woman defendant and inc dead dArtor A. William Lillien- N~-i. came into court with box of liayons as big as an artists drawing board.
 AS the defendants entered Mrs. Beach went up to greet her hus- band. Mrs. Lilliendahl was talking to her counsel at the time and the two women exchanged no word.
 Court opened at 9:30 and the two women then sat side by side, smiling greeting to each other.
 Prosecutor Hinkle immediately began his summation, He told the Jury he asked for q verdict of guilty in the first degree. with a penalty either of death or life imprison- ment.
 Hinkle said the evidence war rantcd such q verdict and that he fully expected it.
 Hinkle then began reviewing the testimony of states witnesses.
 Brands Story False.
 "If Willis Beach did commit this murder" he said. Margaret Lillien- dahl, who vas there, kney it. Her story of the Negroes is false. If one of them is guilty the other is guilty and we believe the state has made it's case"
 Suddenly Hinkle stopped.
 That is all." he said.
 He had been speaking less than five minutes.
 Edison Hedges then began his summation for Beach,
 Finds No Murder Motive.
 Hedges asked what the motive could possibly have been for Beach to have committed the crime with which he is charged.
 ''The only motives could have been money or love-" he said, "and the state has established neither of these.
 "No money Is involved and love Is a far fetched notion in this case. Beach is married. He has a family. All the members of this family have come 10 his support here. Does that indicate that Beach was plan

Washington, Dec. I LPl-More up- set than ever by Q night Of reflec- ton on President Coolidge's latest renunciation, the republican nation al committee found itself deadlock ed and all but leaderless today when it undertook to select a national convention city for 1928.
 After ten ballots had failed to produce a decision as between San Francisco and Kansas City, the committee recessed for an hour and it's members broke up into feverish groups to seek 8 private agreement
 Starting we'll out in the lead, San Francisco had fallen from it's van tage point as the voting proceeded. and after running a neck and neck race with its chief rival for several ballots, dropped into second place. The count on the tenth ballot stood A for Kansas City and Al for San Francisco, with Detroit, Chicago, Cleveland and Philadelphia trailing far behind. On this ballot 52 would have been necessary for a choice.
 Butler For Kansas.
 Throughout the voting Chairman William NJ, Butler cast his strength behind Kansas City, His open en- dorsement of that city several days ago aroused outspoken discussion among the supporters of San Fran cisco, in particular, and they declar- ed they had effected a coalition by and Detroit eventually would be solidified behind one of those cities.
 Mrs. Alvin T. Hert. Of Kentucky, a vice chairman of the committee, voted with Butler for Kansas City but the other two vice chairmen, Charles D. Hilles, Of New York, and Ralph Williams of Oregon, stood by San Francisco.
 It was on motion of Mir. Hilles that the hours recess was taken. As the recess began, David Mulvane of Kansas. predicted that Kansas City wonld win on the next ballot, but National Committeeman Crocker of California, insisted that the San Francisco voters would stand pat.
 Kansas City picked up votes on late ballots from Idaho, and South Dako ota.
 After trailing through Q dozen bal lots, Detroit gathered a dark horse burst of speed late today in the con- test for the 1928 republican national convention.
 On the thirteenth ballot of the two leaders, San Francisco and Kansas City, each lost a vote, while Detroit picked up three. The Michigan entry had gained four on the twelfth.
