Mother Says She Killed
Priest Because of His
Attack on Daughter

CANTON, Ohio, March 12.-
Pleading not guilty to charge of
murder for shooting to death priest
named Joseph Riccardi, pastor OF
st. Anthony's Catholic Church here,
Mrs. Mary Guerriri declared that
she did it because the priest had
mistreated her small daughter.
The mother said that, as the in
fluence of the priests in Canton was
so great she could not get retribu-
ton for the attack on her daughter
thru legal means, she had resorted
to the revolver, and fired several
shots into the priest as he stood
in the door of his church, scowling
at her.
The police, mostly Catholics, are
trying to discredit Mrs. Guerriri's
story, and put forward a fanciful
theory that she was angered by the
fact that the church was recently
moved.

lively, would walk barefoot across
the yard to the barn to sleep in the
fresh hay. Storm would break from
sudden summer cloud, lightning
would flare through the cracks in the
gates, and the fresh air would smell
even more of hay and the fustian of
her sarafan.
And now it was all gone.
She felt she was capable Of any
thing.
| But when she walked out of the
railroad station with a large crowd
of people, she was overwhelmed, lost
in the great city. What she had
wanted to do was to sweep down on
him like tempest, tell him every
thing, but instead she had to ask
how to reach the street where he
lived. She was shown the tram, but
when she bought her ticket she for
got to ask where she had to get off,
and she sat in the tram until 1t
reached a suburb of the city.
She had to ride back and then
walk and ask for the number of
the house, for she could not read.
She would be told-and she would
go, afraid to ask again, and when
she did ask she would find that she
had passed by the house and would
have to retrace her steps.
She walked more and more quick
ly, thinking that while she was walk
ing they would leave the house.
When she found the place, house
with enormous doors and windows,
all the apartments were locked, and
she had to knock and ring. And
which bell was she to ring, how was
she to guess which door was his?
"Auntie, what are you doing
here?" a man in an apron, holding
chisel in his hand, asked her.
Katerina told him.
'He isn't here. He doesn't live
here"
what do you mean he doesn't
live here? Good Lord, what am
to do now?"
She had only one ruble with her,
tied in corner of her kerchief. This
was not enough for her fare home.
| =
An old woman with a pail ap-
peared from door under the stair
way, and on finding out what was
wanted, said that Andrea Nikanorich
had move to the suburbs. Katerina
had to take train to get there.
4 Katerina was so happy that she
had found clue, that she almost
ran out Of the doorway. Because
she was happy she had forgotten to
ask exactly where he was, and so
when she came to the suburb, she
knew the street, but not the numbe,
of the house.
Evening was approaching, and
clouds. She ran from one end OF
the street to the other, asking anc
asking, but she could find out
nothing. In her hands she had 9
kerchief with black fritters. She
did not remember why she had taker
them. She had come to make q
scandal, but she had taken a present
along, according to custom,--blacI
rye fritters.
She had only eleven kopeks left
now. The place was strange, night

Her face sweaty and bewildered, she

At the moment when she was
most bewildered, when she was in
the last throes of despair and fear,
she turned into a little alley, and
saw a familiar crown of dry hair
beyond the railing of a fence.
1t was he, Andrei. His tunic I'M
buttoned, he was squatting near a
flower bed and digging the ground.
Katerina could only cry:
"Andriushechka, my dear!"
She ran through the garden gate,
and when Andrea rose in surprise
from the ground, she embraced him
and pressed her head to his chest,
powerless to hold back her tears.
"Look who's here! How did you
come here? Did you fall from
heaven?" Andrea asked in amaze
ment and joy.
Katerina could not answer as she
wanted to. She said:
II was very frightened. l thought
| would never find you. l looked for
you all day. And l had nowhere to
CO."
And she wept again.
"Why are you crying?"
Conscience-stricken, she wiped her
eyes with the back of her hand, and
smiled guilty.. Then she suddenly
remembered why she had come. But
after what had just occurred when
she rushed to him as to her saliva
ton and refuge and had wept with
Joy on his breast, it was impossible
to start a scandal and pass from
joyful tears to wild outcries.
And then, when she had seen his
familiar crown of hair in the gar
den like sudden, wonderful image,
her heart was filled with joy which
she had never known, not even when
they went haying together and slept
in the barn.
He had not at all shown what
she had expected from him, from a
man to whom had come his deserted
wife, woman from the village, in
fustian sarafan, while he was
dressed in city clothes and lived in
a suburb.
She could not catch the slightest
shade of dislike or perturbation in
his face or voice. He was placid
the same slightly patronizing caress
was in his voice, especially when he
said:
"Why are you crying? Come,
will tell them to put up the samo.
war;"
He preceded her on the path that
led to the new cottage painted 8
fresh yellow, which stood near the
fence among tree stumps.
But on the way he stopped, anc
cried to passerby in civilian
coat:
"Ivan Kuzmich, you must sent
to the city for the goods tomorrow
will write you a note"
His manner of speaking to tn,
man, the way in which the man sale
"all right" in reply, made Katerins
feel that he was the old, clever
practical and kind Andrei, and yet
at the same time another Andrei
on whom people depended, who ar
ranged and gave orders in this
strange, unknown place just as hi
had done at home. And he did i
so simply and quietly, as if it coult
never be otherwise.

'Open Minds on Prohibition

President Hoover has indicated he will appoint as
members Of his prohibition investigating commission
only persons who can approach their task with an
open mind.
This IS very interesting, but the query naturally
arises: where in the United States will he find those
who can meet this requirement?
Prohibition has been an issue Of varying degrees
of intensity for many years. There are millions OF
men and women who profess to be ~open-mlnded OF
the subject, but investigation reveals they are more
or less prejudiced either for or against II they are
fro mthe South or West they generally are for; i
from the South or West they generally are for; II
flaws in the whole theory of prohibition,
President Hoover will find millions Of Americans
with open minds on the tariff issue, farm relief, or
any of the other public questions. with the exception
of prohibition. Whenever a company OF men or
women start discussion of public matters perfect 1ood
humor prevails until prohibition is Injected me
discussion then becomes acrimonious, and ends with
each convinced he is right and the others wrong
Prohibition. however. is the law of the land. The
problem before President Hoover is merely that 81
securing proper enforcement of the law and the steps
to be taken with that object in view. There are two
avenues open-first to employ an army OF prohlbitlon
agents sufficient to guard every mile Of border. search
every home and to force prohibition at the point Of
q gun, or to inaugurate upon q gigantic scale an eau
cational campaign that would in the course OF Tune
arouse in the American public the necessary degree
of respect for the prohibition law. The former WouIo
achieve prohibition more quickly, but the second
while it would take years, would achieve permanent
prohibition.
The nrohibition forces. which constitute the great
ma ioritv of the American public. are divided between
these two schools-those who would secure enforce
ment bv force, and those who would seek the same
results by education-and it is safe to predict that
any commission President Hoover may create Will re-
fleet the views of these two schools in its report.

Billboards

For years the Texas highway department and the
legislature have sought a means of doing away with
the billboards which line public highways. The state
has cleaned up the right-of-Way of public roads by
promptly destroying all the unsightly signs and post
ers stuck up on state property; but the use of huge
billboards on private property adjacent to the roads
has been a problem as yet unsolved.
Only in case where such signs obscure bends or
curves in the highway have they come under state
control.
Now a decision Of a high American court may
point the way to preserving the natural scenic beauty
of Texas unobstructed by the glaring and often Of
: ~nsive sign boards.
That decision, by the supreme court Of the Phil
ippines, held that billboards depend for value upon
their proximity to a highway; and in effect that when
private property is used in any way to exploit the
public it thereby loses its strictly private character
and becomes subject to regulation in the public in
terest.
Statewide patriotic and civic organizations, par
Iticularly women's clubs, have attempted to deal with
the Objectionable practice of walling in the public
highways with billboards and glazing signs. They
have done much to educate the public ri.d to the
conditions. So far. they have not yet secured the
enactment Of laws that will abolish the nuisance.
The Philippine court decision likely will spur on
these organizations. likely will encourage the state
highway department to renew its efforts, and may
very probably stir the legislature to action along lines
suggested by 1t.
I Under this decision. it would seem that the states
Jurisdiction does not stop at the roads right-of-way,
but is as broad as the public interest affected.
A citizens right to an unobstructed view while
driving is admitted. Gradually his right to the
scenery, often an incentive of his travel, Is becoming
