ST. PAUL: Minn, June 17.—An- other mixed jury in St. Paul is in the limelight, this time because one of its woman members was en- tertained at dinner by the chief counsel for a man it had just ac- quitted of charges of robbing a Jewelry store here. A few months ago a mixed jury in district court here gained na- tional attention because its woman members were forced to spend a night in the same room with male members while the jury was out on a case. Hints at Bribe. Bix women were on the jury which Thursday acquitted Jack Harris in district court here of the first degree robbery charge. Itde- veloped yesterday that one woman member of the jury and two other women not jurors had been enter- tained at dinner Thursday evening after the verdict was returned, by a man assoclated with Harris’ de- fense. This Incident and reports reach- ing County Attorney R. D. O'Brien that $10,000 had been offered the jewelry store heads not to prose- cute the case and Mr. O'Brien’ statement he received hints that there would be $10,000 in it if the Store Your Silverware and Paintings in our Vaults ST before you go away this summer, putthe household valuables that you want protected against fire and theft in the storage vault in our Main Office or the Dupont Branch.

He receives a polite invit: tion from a creditor quartet, while a debtor, whose groans can be heard across the ocean, promises by wire- less to sing nothing henceforth but “Charlie Ueber Alles” if his under- taking succeeds. When he applies for his passport Uncle Sam warns him that this time he is not go\g to a tragic, but to a comic, lunatic asylum, and that, as an American and the urgently invited savior, he will have to pay forty times ordinary prices.

Three capital ships and 2 submarine fleet with 7,777 reporters aboard sail from the nearest harbor to meet the salvation steamer. A ho- tel has to be rented for the secreta- ries, who are crammed with letters, many tender love missives, but most of them begging for money, which the writers jokingly call loans. First episode: What won't and can't be repaid is in this film called loan. His little moustache twitches and our hero comprehends the situ- ion at a glance. “These good people who receive me with such kindness have a debtor from whom nothing is to be gotten today or tomorrow and they want me to advance him money wherewith to pay his debts. Their confidence touches me, but before I consent I must examine the condition of this debtor whom I am supposed to heal.” Meaning of Assistance. He questions a nearby gentleman who looks like a clergyman who's left the church for the cotton trade. The latter, hearing the word heal. ays: “That is an unfortunate expression, Mr. Chaplin. 1If this fellow gets well too quickly he may injure our trade, he did before we gave him the ear famine cure while our Chris- tian hearts bled at the thought. What we want is to prevent him profiting from paper money, and we can't do that by helping him make his money worth more than the paper whereon it is printed. We hope you'll do thi and with your great prestige explai to our friend, ally and principal creditor how this debtor must be spared; otherwise if he pays too much he will get ill and cheap again and our trade will suffer more than ever. Second episode—The invalid’s to be only half cured. Two of a quartet ready for any sacrifice the others will ‘agree to. Somebody with wav- ing banner and Jacobin cap ap- s and says with exaggerated let my dear hypocritical friend lead you astray. This Mr. A. L. Bion thinks only of himself, and when he speaks of Nazareth and Golgotha he really means Cardiff and Birmingham. The invalid must re- cover, for only then can he meet our demands for pavments, which are just and mild as the sermon on the mount, and which we will not reduce, like dishonest shopkeepers. That is. of course, unless we recelve compensa- tion elsewhere. Don't forget article 233, annex 2, says the reduction of debt only can occur by unanimous agreement. Dorn't waste your time considering a little loan of 300,000,- 000,000 paper marks. That's no use to me. My néighbor, who is suffer- ing from rupture of neutrality, has a prior claim to mine, and_so little would be left to me. You have enough common sense to understand I can’t abandon my right to sanctions which halt the debtor's breathing for a time at least. Outside of these 1i tle exceptions go as far as you like ‘Whose Obligation, Question. Charlie looks at the thermometer. It is 100 in the shade. Everything is topsy turvy. “Did anybody ever hear before of the borrower making conditions to the lender or a bankrupt nation call- ing a tremendous sum a ‘little loan'? They want me to send heaps of money to Europe and let the receivers decide what's to be done with it. All of them have different ideas, and, be- sides, the weakest is to have his breath cut off for a time to strengthen him. These people seem to have had a sun- stroke. I wish I had my fire hose. Oh, for a custard ple! It would cover my retreat. On the promenade deck of the George Washington, homeward baund, he has a sudden thought. i erhaps this whole comedy was Just to show us that we who paid for ,the war with our blood money shall not be victors without compensation, but we must abandon all of the bil- lions lent to Europe and even send more, £o_that the old world may be- gin to get in order again. Were those people so stupid they thought 1 wouldn't sge through their trick? No doubt if I had granted the loan it would have .been a great laughing success in Europe; but it would have killed me forever with the American public.” : The grand young man then puts his finger to his brow over his melan- choly comic eyes 'and decides to launch his new film, “Chaplin and the Loan” It it's shown next season don’t forget this modest collaboration.

But the planet today and tomorrow, according to the most modern plane- tary observations by the most learned astronomers of the world, is to re- volve directly between our earth and the sun in an ellipse which brings the planet much nearer to us than it was thirteen years ago. This complexity of the apparent movement of Mars seems at first fatal to the acceptance of nn}/ simple and elementary ex- planation of the planetary motion.

Owing to the large influx of tour- ists into Washington In the past few | eeks, the executive board of the Travelers' Ald Society has been forced to employ an additiomal worker at the Unfon station. This is a .tax on the revenue of the society, which has barely enough money in its treasury to continue the work under normal conditions. Arthur C.
