slider criminal case in the Flicker

Twin City papers last Sunday, the
following proof is offered.
In June, 1923, in the Burleiph

ney ut the time Of the trial.
After due delibcration and the
weighing of the evidence presented
before Judge W. S. Casselman. the

Intervention

Havana. Jan. 26.-(AP)-The
matter of intervention by one
country in the internal Affairs of
another was before the Pan-Amcr-
lcan congress for discussion today.
It is not possible to denounce all
such Intervention, a report dealing
with the subject declared. The re-
port was explained by nr. Victor
Naurtua of Peru, before it's prescn-
tation to the committee on public
international law, for which he is
the reporter.
He urged that subjects included
III the first two chapters of the
recommendations for the codifica-
ton Of internationl law, prepared
by the jurist's conference in Rio
Janciro last April, should be made
the subject of general declaration
instead Of being incorporated in
treaty.
These chapters define the various
basic legal conceptions Of such law.
They also include the article:
mo state may intervene in the
internal Affairs Of another"
DIR. Maurtua's report argues that
according to modern conceptions Of
international law, = nations SOW
ercignty is somewhat subjected to
restrictions imposed by constantly
growing international customs.
The committee on communion
tions I'd before it amendments
suggested by Mexico to the draft
treaty on commercial aviation.
Their amendments appeared to del
egates to introduce the possibility
Of discrimination between national
and foreign planes on the part Of
any government.
The Mexi.ans would allow gov
ernments to designate the zones
over which, for military reasons,
all foreign planes and national ones
engaged in international service
could ',c .xclrded from flying.

RENEWED HUNT
FOR SLAYER OF
GIRL Is ASKED
Friends Of Pearl Osten's. Fam
M in Ottertail County
Appeal to Governor

St. Paul, Minn.. Jan. 26.-tP,-A
petition asking that a reward be
posted and thorough hunt started
for the slayer Of Pearl Oste young
college student and musician who
was murdered in Minneapolis after
an attack October 2. 1927, was re-
ccived at Governor Christianson's
office today.
The plea, signed by more than $50
persons living in Ottertail county,
near her home ut Norwegian Grove
there. asked that the governor en-
list every means ut his command to
obtain the cooperation Of all law en-
forcemcnt agencies and that he
make q public appeal to the police
forces of the state to continue a re-
lentlcss search until the slayer is
apprehendcd.
An attempt was being made to-
day to establish whether I ere is
any money available in the state
treasury which can be offered as a
reward and the opinion of the at
torney general was .ls0 to be asked.
No actor will be taker until the
return Of the governor from Chi
cago, where he is to deliver an ad-
dress tonight.
Indignation Aroused
Miss Osten," the petition says,
was . talented and promisir girl
about whose character and life
nothing but good could be said. Her
tragic end has aroused profound
sympathy for her anc her people
and intense indignation against her
murderer, especially here. in Otter
tail county.
"Nearly three months have
elapsed since this daStardly crime
was committed, the murderer is still
at large, and little hope is held out
that he will be apprehendci. We
feel that this situation is deplorable
and believe that every available
agency Of the law enforcing power
Of the state should be set in mo-
ton"
The petition was forwarded to
the governor by the Rev. H. Bjorn-
son, pastor Of the Emmanuel Luth-
Gran congregation at Rothsay.

Chicago, Jan. 2G-(AP)-Terror
lists opened fire on the city admin
istration today with dynamite
bombs, exploding them almost sim.
nltancously against the homes OF
two Of Mayor Th6mpson's close
political aides.
One bomb, carrying an unusually
large quantity of dynamite, tore
away portion Of the residence OF
Charles Fitzmo s, city comptrol-
Ter and former chief Of police
The other smashed windows in the
home Of DR.. William II. Reid, COM
missioner of public service during
an carly Thompson administration.
In both instances the bombs were
tossed from a closed car. At the
Fitzmorris home. which is in the
fashionable Hyde PAX section, the
bomb shattered the front door,
wrecked the lower portion Of the
house, a brick and frame structure,
ana broke windows as far away as
six blocks. Several guests of the

Ohio Steel Mergers May Pave Way

nies with combined assets Of more
than half billion dollars is be.
ljeved to have paved the way for

more than 1926, 900 900 and mate.
terially strengthening its placs as

greatest steel concern in the coun.
try, with assets estimated at
$50, ,00O, 900.

Financial gossip before the con-
summation Of the Youngstown-In-
land deal was to the effect that this
consolidation, if completed, would
open the way soon for the merger
Of the new Youngstown company
with holdings IF Cyrus Eatol., who is
heavily interested in Republic and
Trumbull.
Official comment is lacking, how
ever, as the Youngstown-lnland ven
ture is only legal to the extent Of
deposit of sufficient amount Of
the stock, having still to be ap-
proved by both directors and stock
holders.
Stockholders Of Republic Iron and
Steel ratified the merger with
Trumbull Steel at Jersey City yes

Trumbull stockholders still is await
ed.
