 After considering police charges that Mrs. Sarah Kerrick, held on a charge Of murder, shot her husband in a jealous frenzy. a coroners jury yesterday returned an open verdict. The jury recommended that the pro- secutor's office make another at- tempt to obtain a "straght story from the witnesses.
 The testimony of the five persons present agreed in few instances cx- cept that there was no shortage of liquor at the party.
 Mrs. Kerrick declared the actor was accidentally shot when one Of the women guests attempted to wrest the pistol from her (Mrs Ker- ricl) hands.
 Anatis Davis. film "cxtra" told of having tried to take the gun away from Mrs. kerrick. and admitted that she had been posing as the wife of Henry Isabelle, another guest at the Kerrick party.
 Iris Burns. alleged recipient of kerrick's attention during the party denied she was present when the shots were fired.
 Isabelle said he took pistol from Mrs. kerrick's hands but could not recall that any shots were fired.

Telegraph Monopoly May Lose Immunity

The French government telegraph monopoly is likely soon 10 be held responsible for damages caused by its errors, as is the rule in all busi- ness.
 Back in ls6n, when telegraph keys were suffering with some ir- regularity, the government pro- tected itself from damage claims by a specific exemption.
 For years chambers Of com. merce. newspapers and business men have demanded that the gov ernment be held responsible for its errors. A bill to change the old Ia vow has such support that its pasSa v is expected soon.
 Aside from the argument that justice requires such responsibility. it Is contended the government will do the work better If it has to pay for its mistakes.

 Another provision is that a spe- cial train can be run whenever 70 purchasers of second class. or 100 Of third class, or 15o of fourth class tickets SO demand.

French Army Cats Get Wages Raised

Army cats have had their wages raised. As food is their chief ex- pense. there is going to be a lot of liver consumed.
 Paul Prudent Painieve, Minister of War. raised the official allow ance of the cats from four to ten centimes day. Of course that means only from about one cent a week to three cents a week. but the cats are we'll satisfied.
 There was some objection to this 15o per cent increase in these diff cult times of economy because the cats job Is to run rats and mice out of army storehouses, and there were those who thought they ought to provide for themselves.
 However. the cats landlords. jan- itors of the warehouses, put in good word, and the deed is done.

 He raised the question in the House of Commons as to why a cer- tain heraldic beast is now repre- sented with its horns both facing the same way. whcpas the correct design is for one horn to point forward and one backwards.
 These stone beasts. lions. bulls, and fabulous monsters. were first set up in Tudor times to illustrate the claim of the Tudors to unite the houses of York and Lancaster, the white rose and the red.

strations.
Monday night Rev. Hejbjerg spoke
has population of 100000, 900 peo-
pie. There are many different castles,
customs, habits, and traditions in In
dia and they have 222 different Ian
guages. Sixty millions of their peo-
pie are living sub-human ives-prac-
worship their husbands for man is
supreme. Woman is ostracized from
society if her husband dies, and she
is blamed for his death. The history
of India dates back 1000 years. Folk
lore is the most important part of
Indian literature. 1t is believed that
the country is at its low ebb now.
There is much work and need for
missionaries, but. not the bayonet.
Speaking on China the next evening
Rev. Hejbjerg stated that that country
has a population of 400,0O0,000 peo-
pie, 320.00O,000 of whom are illite-
rates. Factories there owned by Eng
lish and other foreigners are paying
as low as &c per day for women work
ing IA hours and sc for boys working
IS hours per day with good profits
to the owners. The people of China
are drained. they are made to pay
on goods shipped from that country
and on goods imported, being taxed a
heavy duty. China needs help. If
they are not shown more friendship
and helped they will take up mill
tarism, said the speaker, and that will
be the Yellow peril that we hear Of
Illiterates, even If they can not do
everything else, can use guns and they
will use it if mistreated too much.
The Wednesday evening lecture was
on the life and works of the great
English surgeon, Joseph Lister, found
er of the anti-septic method.
The afternoon lectures were con-
corning the energy of the Christian
church in contradistinction to its ex-
ternal power, where Rev. Hojbjerg
gave much food for thought.
Before coming to Askov, Rev. H9j-
bjerg had spent week at Onionta
and East Meredith, N. Y, where he
had given ten lectures much as he
did here He had also attended con-
ference of American educators-col-
lege and university professors-at
Hillsdale college in Michigan. The
conference lasted four weeks. The
first week was spent in the discussion
of international relations, the second
in econOmic-industrial relations, the
third in family relations and the
fourth, week in educational methods.
Rev. Hojbjerg was there during the
week that educational methods were
discussed and was requested to ex-
plain the Danish folk high school
plan, he being president of such

murders are committed every year
in the United States and in proper
ton to population this is eight times
as many as in England and five times
that of France. There are 100 times
as many robberies in Chicago annu-
ally as in London.
Quoting Judge Lindsay further Rev.
H9jbjerg stated that there is one di-
vorce to every two marriages in the
largest cities of this country. There
were 165,139 divorces in the U. S.
in 1923. Can we rest on our laurels
or aren't there plenty of problems?'
said the speaker. Rev. Hejbjerg's
strong point was that we must not lie
down and go to sleep because there
are tasks awaiting all of us. He
quoted Goethe who wrote Faust, as
follows:
If ever upon my couch stretched at
my ease l am found
Then may my life that instant cease,
When to the moment I shall say:
Linger a while, so fair thou art.
The theme of this lecture was

school at Tyler. His explanation was
followed by very spirited discussion
in which it developed that the Amer
lean educators approve the Danish
plan as one of the most remarkable
features in the modern educational
world About 60 educators were pres
ent at this conference, amongst them
being Prof. Watson of Columbia, Prof.
Kirkpatrick, Olivet college, Mich;
Prof Carrothier, Rollins college, Flor
ida; and DR.. Zeuch of Commonwealth
college, Mena, Ark.
Inasmuch as Rev. Hojbjerg came
to Askov at busy season for the far
mers it would be fine if he could be
induced to come here again at later
date, perhaps in the winter time, when
more can avail themselves of the OPP
portunity to hear this man who is a
deep thinker, world student and who
brings a message that is educational
and upbuilding. He is booked ahead
for lectures up to Dec. LIST in the
middle western states and on the Pa
cific coast.
