She seated herself at the French
Woman'S feet and gazed upward into
the Skillfully madeup and still beau

Nam selle, please pardon my in

school girly voice she had adopted
for the evening, "but I can't resist
this opportunity to get you to help
me out"
She felt a little sorry for, the
Frenchwoman as a flicker of fear
showed in the slightly-faded blue
eyes. "You see, Mam'selle, I'm a
member of that much lambasted
group, younger generation and at
one time or another I've heard every
one of these three old-fashioned
gentlemen revile my bunch.
"Oh, Crystal" she sang out gaily,
so that all the bridge players could

by pearls about her throat and in
her ears.
"John!" She rose to meet him, ex-

"Sybil! My dear!"

The Republicans convened first at
Chicago and nominated Grant
unanimously. Speaker Schuyler
CoIfax Of Indiana was named for
Vice president and the platform
coupled denunciation of JohnSon's
'treacherous and corruption" with a
demand for equal rights for Negro
voters.
The Democratic met at Tammany
hall on July 4. Their great old
leader, Stephen A. Douglas, might
have led them to victory had he
not died during the war, famous
for his dictum: There can be no
neutrals in this war-only patriots
and traitors"
Governor Seymour of New York
received votes of the twenty second
ballot and promptly refused to be
a candidate. But Seymour stam-
pede followed as if by rehearsal.
General Frank P. Blair of Mis-
souri, landed in second place. John
son had received sixty-f1ve votes on
the first ballot, but never gained.

and this fact spurred the Repub-
lican congress to new measures to
insure votes for the eX-slaves.
Frauds were charged in Louisiana
and a congressional investigating
committee later charged that: More
than 1000 persons were killed,
wounded and injured there within
a few weeks of the election; half
the state was overrun BY violence,
midnight raids, secret murders and
open riots, which kept the people
in constant terror until the Repub-

In Caddo parish 'the Ku-KluX
Khan killed and wounded more than
200 Republicans, hunting and chas-

day.
The Norris bill comes up for con-
Sideration with more lobbyists in
Washington than ever have been
here before, according to Represent

pressure at their command against
the measure as we'll, Garner and
others said.
The bill comes up for considera-
ton when the House opens today

JURORS UNABLE
TO DECIDE FATE
OF MRS. KNAPP
Hopeless Deadlock Ends in
Discharge; RetriaI Set
for May Fl.
BY PERCY b. SCOTT
United Press staff Correspondent

ALBANY, N. Y, May 9.-The
second trial of Mrs. Florence E.
S. Knapp, former Secretary of
State, on a charge of larceny, which
grew out of her administration of
the $1,20O,OOO census fund. will be-
gin May 81.
The rst trial ended at midnight
last night, with the jury reporting
itself hopelesSly deadIocked The
twelve men had the case under adj
VlSement approximately seven and
half hours and Justice Stephen
H. Callaghan, after questioning
each man individually, ordered
them discharged and set the date
for the retrial.
Reports Indicated the jury was
about evenly divided between the
innocence and guilt of the middle
aged woman, first of her sex to
reach a high elective office in the
State Government.
Affected by Outcome
Mrs. Knapp was in the courtroom
when the jury reported She had
been extremely optimistic while the
jury remained out but was visibly
affected when the foreman reported
Sney could not decide on her guilt
ga innocence.
Before the opening Of the trial
Mrs. Knapp said she was certain
of acquittal and wanted to use this
method of indicating herself and
also indicating women in politics.
Tt had been q trying day for the
former secretary. She had heard
the opposing argument, heard her
defense called brazen, and then had
listened to Justice Callaghan's
dorty- three minute charge.
Urged Honest Verdict
In this charge the justice had
stressed the fact that the jury
should not sidestep ga disagreeable
duty" if that became necessary, and
urged an honest verdict.
The charge Mrs. Knapp was tried
on was for diverting a check for
more than $500, drawn to the &C
count of her daughter, Miss
Clara Knapp. This charge was one
of the twelve indictments voted by
a special grand jury.
Miss Knapp was the principal
State witness against her step
mother, and in the course of the
trial Mrs. Knapp testified that her
stepdaughter had spoken untruth-
fully about the Census Bureau adj
ministration.

SACRAMENTO Cal. May g.
William Edward Hickman, con-
fessed murderer of 12-year-old
Marion Parker, will have at least
twenty more days to live.
The State Supreme Court, to
which the youthful slayer's attor-
neys carried a fight for his life
Tuesday, granted the delay after
hearing arguments involving the
constitutionality of the law under
which Hickman was sentenced to
hang.
The court gave Mai. Walter K
Tuller, Los Angeles attorney and
chairman of the California crime
commission, which drafted the law,
ten days in which to file a brief
supporting its constitutionality. 1t
then granted Hickman's attorney
ten days more in which to file an
answer to Tulier's opinions.
Hickman's span of life eventually
may amount to a month, it was
believed, since the courts final de-
cision probably will not be made

fore. This medicine is helping

Just a few days ago Mr.. Terry
Hockersmith, 1876 w. New York St,

ment about Konjola:
ST can tell the world that I feel
like a new man since taking Kon-
jola," said Mr.. Hockersmith. II was
certainly surprised to get such re-
suits from one small remedy after
spending fortune on other treat
ments and getting nothing for the
money I spent. My main trouble
was a heavy feeling in the stom-
ach, which was followed by gas and
terrible pains, which seemed to set
tie in the pit of my stomach. 1
could not sleep but few minutes
at time. I was always tired, slug
gish and dizzy. My bowels were
very inactive and I was troubled
with headaches. This trouble kept
getting worse and worse until I
hardly knew what to do.
my mother first began taking
Koniola for a trouble similar to
mine and in a short time her en-
tire system was very much improved.
After seeing what this medicine was
doing for her, I decided I would
try it, and that decision proved to
be worth very much to me. AS the
results have obtained, you can
fudge for yourself. I eat what 1
want without suffering any pain,
my bowels are regular, the head
aches are gone, sleep like a top,
the tired, sluggish feeling is gone
and the heavinesS in my stomach is
a thing of the past. I give all the
credit to Konjola for this wonder
full relief. I highly recommend
this medicine to all sufferers, as
it has proven to be a blessing to
humanity in our city"
The Konjola Man is at the Hook

daily meeting the public and intro
ducing and explaining the merits Of

The Real Question

Whether or not Harry Leslie wrote D C. Stephen
letter of thanks for support in his first election
of Speaker is not very important.
Leslie issues a very heated denial of such a Sug
gestion and seems to think that answers the whole
matter.
What is important is that Leslie is the heir to the
forces which Stephenson brought together for the dis
grace and shame of Indiana.
The Leslie campaign admittedly has been run
very largely from the Office of the fire marshal who
has filled his pay rolls with former Stephenson lieu
tenants.
From that Office has every form of sordid
libel and appeal which we're common in the days
when the dragon arose to the high emnence where he
boosted II the law"
1t is important to remember that the first man
to congratulate Leslie was Governor Ed Jackson, adj
mittedly the creation of Stephenson and that this
beneficiary of the statute of limitations declared that
Leslie the man he would have chosen if he had the
power, to succeed him in the Governors chair.
1t is important to remember that it was Leslie who
charged in a prepared statement, that his opponent
Frank c. Daley had been either negligent or corrupt
federal prosecutor, charge that brought prompt
denial from Judge A. E. Anderson, a Republican,
whose name Leslie used to back up his baseless
charge.
This is important because it was by such meth
DDS ard practices that Stephenson ruled and obtained
power
1t is important also to remember that it was
Leslie who played a very important role in sitting
the investigation of corruption by the legislature in
which he Speaker of the house, and that through
this suppression the statute of limitations ran on and
and on.
1t is important to remember that Leslie is not the
choice of Republicans, but that in the primary in
which he silent every question of corruption,
refused to make any pledge of redemption, while
Lands and Tom Adams appealing for action,
he a poor fifth in the race and that his nominal
ton came from the manipulatons of those who were
prominent in the Stephenson regime.
If Leslie wrote no letters 70 Stephenson in 1924
he should write He would not be the
ddate it not for the fact that Stephenson Gre
ated super government which remained after its
chief went to prison cell and that Leslie is heir to
all its power.
