ST LOUIS BEAUTY
 BEING TRIED IN
 FRANCE TO-DAY
Odds Are 20 to 1 She Will Be Acquitted of the Mur- der of Fred NixOn-Nird= finger

Nice, France, May 13.-(UP)- The odds were 20 to 1 for acquittal when it was announced to-day that Mrs Charlotte Nixon -Nirdlinger, St Louis beauty queen, would probably face a jury next Wednesday on charges of staying her husband.
 Mrs Nixon- Nirdlinger shot and killed Fred Nixon Nirdlinger, wealthy Philadelphia theater owner. in their fashionable Riviera home two months ago. She said her hus- band, elderly and jealous, had threatened her life and that she shot him in self-defense during a quar- rel.
 The court announcement said the pretty American widows case had been set third on the Agenda,, and that her trial probably would begin May 20.
 Nice buzzed with excitement in certain quarters after the announce ment. The odds on her acquittal were freely quoted at 20 to l, much in the manner in which the Riviera playboys and girls place bets on the horses or roulette.
 It was generally contended that there was only one chance Tor con viction, and that was admittedly weak. It lay in the possibility that the jury would disregard the testi- mony of experts which the defense intends to introduce in an effort to show that the fatal shots were fired while Mrs Nixon-Nirdlinger was struggling with her infuriated hus- band.
 Public sympathy appeared def initely in favor of the young and comedy widow. The fact that she has remained in jail for more than two months instead of seeking bail has made her a martyr.

ROBBERS OF WET GOODS TRIED TO
 LOOT LEGATION
First Attempt of Kind at CapitOl-Man in Charge
 Was Given Good Beating

Washington, May D. (UP)- Four hi-jackers to-day attempted to rob the Fl Salvador legation of it's store of liquor, severely beat Don Carlos Leiva, charge of the legation, and escaped in an auto- mobile.
 The attempt is the first of it's kind on record here. Leiva is in emer- gency hospital with possible frac- ture of the skull. It was believed he was struck repeatedly with a claw hammer.
 Entering the legation, the charge saw four men descending steps which led to the floor on which the liquor locker was located. All of them, he said, were armed, and warned him to leave the premises.
 Disregarding their threats, he leaped upon them, at the same time drawing a revolver and firing two shots, which lodged in the ceiling. The shots frightened the thugs who, after brutally pummeling the diplomat, rushed out the front door and sped north on Connecticut avenue.
 Police later discovered that the hi-jackers had very nearly accom- plished their purpose. Before Leiva's arrival they had succeeded in car rying several cases of liquor to the rear of the legation. A light in the liquor room had been turned on, but the windows had been carefully screened to prevent observation from the street.

In observance of National Hospi- tai day, Waterbury and St Mary's hospitals held special baby clinics or "baby shows" yesterday. Hun dreds of infants, all under two years of age, were brought to the hospi- tals by very apparently proud and happy mothers and "exhibited." The young ones were all dolled up for the occasion.
 Over 400 visitors thronged the Waterbury hospital for the occasion and over 200 babies were registered as taking part in the show. They were examined by DTS J. H. Green and J. Harold Root. The three healthiest babies chosen were Ann Steele Dibble. daughter of MT and Mrs Louis Dibble of IT Beecher street, Naugatuck; Nancy May Fa- Der, daughter of MT and Mrs Ed ward Faber of Al Faber avenue, Waterville, and John Joseph Holian, son of Mir and Mrs Joseph Holian of 172 Edson avenue.
 Each youngster presented at St Mary's hospital received gift. There were no examinations as this work had been accomplished at the baby clinic during the past few weeks. Mary Theresa Mcdonald, daughter of MT and Mrs John Mc- Donald of All Wolcott street was awarded the prize for best attend

rcundings. Germany is tremen- dously overcrowded, making the un- employment situation far more se- rious than it is in America.
 "Germany is threatened on the one hand with Bolshevism from Russia and Fascism from Italy" Mir Gedat stated that he was afraid of q cul- ture Bolshevism rather than political Bolshevism. As he secs it, there are three phases of Bolshevism that are detrimental to humanity. 1. The lack of private property. 2. Lack of q re- ligion and 3. Fight for Soviet union The speaker cited an instance where Bolshevists broke up an Easter ser vice in European church and also went on to show how the family life was being cut out and children drowned upon.
 homie conditions in EW:ope to-day and the possibility of a second war in the near future, Mir Gedat talked very feelingly on the treaty of Yer sailles. This treaty demands that Germany pay to France for 50 years the sum of $G75,000,000 yearly, thus making it impossible for Germany to buy anything from America. This obviously is q direct contributor to the present day depression in Amer ica. A revision of the Yer ;a files treaty is ono of the necessities for the improvement of economic conditions. The treaty was dictated in hatred and can reap nothing but hatred. International peace can never be achieved under such terms"
 Armament today" said Mir Ge- dat, "costs the world five billions of dollars and all Europe is looking tU America to take the leadership in disarmament" Two things the speaker said America must take the lead in: 1. Revision of Treaty of Versailles and ?. Disarmament.
 At the close of his address, MT Gedat answered question after aues- ton dealing with present day situa- tions and causes of the World war. He brought out forc.bly the splendid feeling between Germany and Amer ica to-day and urged q better undeI- standing between all Europe and America through League of Ma tions. A most interesting discussion as the result of question as to the causes of the World war in which Mir Gedat brought out the many contributing factors.
 The forum was closed by q few remarks from Herbert S. Smith. gen eral secretary of the Y who extended greetings through Mir Gedat to the Berlin Y M C A. Mir Gedat had pre- v!ously given brief outline of Y M c A work in Germany stating its limitations and possibilities "Jesus Christ is the center of the Y NJ c A movement. As yet Y NJ A build ings are not developed throughout Germany as they are in the United States because of the tremendous ex. pense involved in construction. The swimming pool is' practically un- known. Founded on the principals of Jesus. the future of the movement Is assured"

Berlin " Secretary Claims War Treaty Adds to
 Depression Now Manifesting Itself

G. A. Gedat, secretary of the Ber- lin, Germany Y M c A spoke last evening at the Central M c A be- fore an audience of some 300 young men. MT Gedat, who spoke on Flu rope To-day" received a real ova- tion at the end of his talk and again a1 the close of question period which lasted about one hour and a half. Travelling about through the East and Middle West, the speaker is endeavoring to bring to American youth a picture of the present con- ditions as they actually are in Eu- rope, the seriousness of which is So little realized.
 Mir Gedat described to his audience little of the economic sit uation as it is in Germany. He said "The State of Texas alone is one and one-third times larger than Germany and the United States is some fifteen or sixteen times larger, but Germany is filled to overfowing with a population of G0,000.0 5,00O,00O of which are unemployed at the present time. There is no op- portunity for these unemployed to get away from their immediate sur

of this city together and have them give this man 8 break. There's no use bounding him when he is just getting chance to work little and get back on his feet"
 T have writ for him myself F replied Nick, but I am not going to try to serve 1t. He's a good man. He's all right
 And the case ended there, although other court officials volunteered the remarks that there was too much "hounding" of men in Waterbury to- day by certain constables and sher- ifs.
 Barra's presence in court this morning was due to little display of temperament when he returned home last evening. There was a sheriff's notice for him and he be- came so mad and started, to clean up that his wife became frightened and called the police. Barra was taken out of his home and locked up on the charge of breach of the peace. He spent the night at police headquarters. ~
 To-day, Mrs. Barra testified that he was a good man and was trying hard to obtain steady employment He becomes mad" every time he thinks about sheriffs and constables
 In view of Judge McGratf's re- marks to-day it is more than likely that Barra will get q break in the future. He is entitled to one, being the father of nine children.
