was picked as DR.. Wynekoop looked
on emotionless, her face more like
death mask than human
cOuntenance.
The men chosen to determine the
womanS fate ranged in age from
Just over the legal limit of 81 to
middle age Some were responsible
business men, others had gone
through long years of unemploy-
ment and only found work with
creation of the CWA The jury was
divided between married and UNI
married men.
Carried into Courtroom
Needing the exhortations of pep
perry Judge Joseph B. David, the
jury selection was speeded today
after four men had been picked at
the first session. Jurors did not
know of the serious physical con-
dition of DR.. Wynekoop. She was
carried to the courtroom by bailiffE,
but the jury was not a. witness to
this scene.
All the jurymen knew of DR..
Wynekoop was that she sat, seldom
moving, huddled in a great chair
and almost hidden behind thebbulk
Of her counsel, Frank Tyrrell and
w. w. Smith Beside her was her
daughter Catherine, also physician,
caressing her mothers hand from
time to time.
DR.. Wynekoop was dressed COM
pletely in black which emphasized
the deathlike pallor of her face.
She wore a black caracul coat
thrown about her shoulders, black
felt hat with black veil and black
dress. Nearby sat her son Walker,
and her old friend and spiritual
counselor. the Rev. John Henry
Hopkins.
Smiles for First Time
The adjournment was ordered, 1t
was understood, because of the
weakened condition of DR.. Wyne-
koop after the ordeal of two days
in court. Her pallor, marked when
the trial started yesterday, was in
creased today and she complained
bitterly to her counsel that she was
terribly tired"
DR.. Wynekoop smiled for the first
time when the judge ordered the
adjournment, allowing her two and
half days CT rest before appear
ing again. Previously she had pro-
tested vigorously to her counsel,
Frank Tyrrell, over his acceptance Of
the final two jurors which COM
pleted the box of twelve men who
will determine her fate. These men
were both almost of her own age
and one had long lived in her
neighborhood.

jury had been sworn in and ordered

trial, expected to be about two
weeks.

BIG Vote ON {
OPEN SUNDAY
IS INDICATED
Opponents OF Ordinance
Given Slight Lead By
Observers
POLLS OPEN UNTIL
7 THIS EVENING

approximately 600 ballots had
been cast in the city election on
the matter of the "open Sunday"
ordinance about 1 o'clock this af-
ternoon. Indications were that
the vote would exceed 1000, and
that probably as many as 1920
votes would be cast.
Indications from most sources
at about 1 o'clock were that those
opposed to the so-called "open
Sunday" were in the lead. The
lead was variously estimated at
from a very few to about 100
votes. However, most observers
were Of the opinion that the cleo
ton ran close during the morning
hours Of the voting.
The polls will not close until 7
p. M, and it was estimated that
the vote up to o'clock would
probably be doubled before the
time for closing the ballot box.
Both those favoring the ordi-
nance and those against it were
highly active during the morning
hours, and it was expected that
this activity would be continued
up to the hour the poll closes.
Workers Of both parties were also
active about the polling place.
The city Is voting on an ordi-
nance that would prohibit some
places from remaining open on
Sunday, but would allow Sunday
movies" and baseball. The bal
lot contains places to vote "for"
or against" the ordinance.
While the election has no legal
binding force on the members Of
the board of city commissioners,
they have indicated that they will
hold with the majority vote rs
expressed today in the final read
ing of the ordinance, which has
passed two readings already.

Despite gloomy reports from

Il Duce Planning,
Amity Move For
Austria, Germany

ROME, June 9.-tUP).-Pre-
mier Benito Mussolini laid plans
today TO make another bid for
leadership in peace efforts by
comforting with Chancellor Adolf
Hitler of Germany at Venice next
week.
An invitation has gone to Hit
Ter to come to Italy for confer
ence. Berlin dispatches indicated
that while Hitler was agreeable
to a conference, he was somewhat
uncertain as to the advisability of
coming to Venice Monday or
Tuesday, as Mussolini hoped.
The invitation was issued be-
fore the Geneva disarmament
conference took its sudden turn
for the better and the powers
agreed to negotiate privately for
Germany's return. Their confess
sion that Germany's cooperation
was essential in any disarmament
talk strengthened Hitler's position
and there were hints that he
might seek to delay his talk with
Mussolini until after adjournment
of the Geneva conference.
Reliable information from gov
eminent sources here, however,
was that Hitler was expected 1t
Venice Monday or Tuesday.
The plan was that Hitler should
fly from Germany.
Mussolini has been at Rlcclone'
on the Adriatic coast. He was ex1
pected to return today, to attend
the final of the world soccer foot-
ball championship, and his present
plans-based on Hitler's agree
ment to an immediate conference
was laid during the recent visit OF
