Five of the jurors have sworn af-

the men were convicted because the

say that they do not believe the men
guilty Of second degree murder. The
trial was surrounded by red hys-

The defense pointed out that the
Industrial Workers of the World had
been terr6rized, that its hall had been
wrecked before and that the Ameri-

plotted.
The defense found later that the

TELLER RETURN
KNOCKS KELLOGG
INTO CONFUSION
Queer Mixture Of Fear,
Hope, in Utterances

WASHINGTON, March 21.-The
state department is all worked up to-
day over the return to this city Of
Manuel C. Teller, ambassador from
Mexico, fresh from a conference with
his superiors at home and demand
ing an interview with Kellogg to-
morrow.
In the first place, Teller should
not have returned, if rumors care
fully undenied by the state depart
ment had any foundation. He was
supposed to be recalled, when he left
Washington hurriedly a couple Of
weeks ago. Many explanations were
given, the most official being that he
was caught in "anti-American propa-
ganda." However, he is back, and
Washington is again laughing at
Kellogg, as a poor prophet.
Talked Too Much Already.
To inquiries yesterday Secretary
Kellogg replied;
81 am not going to say anything
about Mexico"
The course of the department in
the Mexican controversy has been
puzzling to observers since Kellogg's
return from his vacation, on Wednes-
day. Kellogg expressed himself to
newspaper inquirers as somewhat
Optimistic" concerning the state Of
affairs. ReeSx4 developments, he
said, had been Of reassuring nature.
On Thursday, Kellogg told news
paper inquirers that his remarks Of
the preceding day had been "misin-
terpreted' and indicated matters
were still very serious. Friday came
the White House optimism, which
found no echo on the part of Kellogg.
Secrecy Continues.
Meanwhile, the most recent ex-
change of correspondence between
Washington and Mexico City is with
held.
Secretary Kellogg and Assistant
Secretary Robert E. Odds had long
conference with President Coolidge
yesterday.

of the workers. Articles by silk,
wooden, cotton. dye and knit goods
workers bring the life and problems
of these workers to every one Of the
eight pages.
Attention to Youth.
Another interesting feature Of the
paper is the page devoted to the prob
lens Of the young textile workers
and the children Of the textile work
ers.
The articles on the lessons Of the
Passaic strike by the children Of the
strikers is one Of the most interest
ing features Of the paper. These ar

workers to make their children write
for the future issues of the paper.

tee has issued for fhe New England

Sinclair Lewis wrote Elmer

There never was minister like

literally fOaming at the mouth. and
a great work Of art is never crea-
ted that way"
Thus spake Prof. William Lyon
Phelps, of Yale, at Town Hall yes
terday. The genial essayist and
popular women's club lecturer said
he had a right to speak on the sub
ject with authority. because l
know something about Baptist
ministers. All my living brothers
are Baptist ministers, and there
has been a constant string Of Bap-
list ministers walking through my
house for years, and l have never
known one like Elmer Gantry.'"
Prof. Phelps also has the dis
tinetion of having been one Of Sim
clair Lewis's college teachers.

DIAz ACCEPTS"
LOAN FROM HIS
WALL ST. BOSSES

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, March 81.
The final act to place Nicaragua
Under the heeemony of American fl
nance capital will be reached next
Wednesday, when the National Con-
gress is expected to vote approval to
the S1,OO0,0O0 loan granted" to Mica
ragua by the New York bank firms,
the Guaranty Trust Co. and J. & w.
seligman.
Negotiations for this loan have
been in progress for the past few
weeks and was made necessary due to
the depletion of the Nicaraeuan treas
ury thru the military campaigns Of
the puppet. President Diaz, against
the liberal forces led by Sacasa.
100000 Of this loan will be used
Immediately to repay the National
City Bank for financing the war,
100000 to repay other loans, while
the rest of the money will be used
to bring the revolution TO an end,
which means the strangling of the
liberals. A commission, composed Of
the IhiHlsOeF VI llldlce, LOUIS hOSeH-
thai, representing the New York
banks and the American high COM
missioner, will supervise the expen-
diture Of the funds. This seems to be
in complete harmony with Diaz and
presupposes that the latter viii be
literally rewarded.
AS a guaranty for this loan the
Diaz government put up its bank and
railroad stock and a mortgage on
public property.

Election Campaign May
End Lame Duck Session

Following the recent success of the
G. o. r. machine in the House Of
Representatives, in filibusteling so
that they killed all pending legisla-
ton, including the Norris resolution
proposing to do away with lame duck
sessions of Congress, the Democrats
are planning to come to the voters
with this problem at the next cleo
ton.
In a statement issued by Represen-
tative Ayers (democrat) of Kansas,
is seen the beginning of a new cam
paign for a constitutional amend
ment which would bring the newly
elected House and Senate into ses-
sion in January following their cleo
ton. AT present the old Congress
sits for few weeks-the lame duck
session-beginning in December; and
since many of its members have not
been reelected the previous Novem-
Der, they know they are politically
dead, and they make no pretense of
caring what they do or do not accom-
plish.
Advocates Of the Norris resolution,
or similar measure, believe it is IAN
imperative correction Of our legisla-
tive procedure needed to prevent
any further such disgusting per-
forniances" as the recent admins
tration filibuster in the lame duck
session.
