The five-week trial of the $300,000 alienation suit of Lieut. Lorimer C. Graham, U. 8. N., against A. L. Humes, wealthy lawyer of New York, ended today, when Justico Hitz at 11-05 a.m. completed his charge to ihe jury. The dury immediately retired to consider its verdict. The summing up took Justice Hits about thirty minutes. He compli- mented counsel on the skill displayed on both sides in presenting the evi- dence and in their arguments. He warned the jurors not to be swayed by prejudice or felling and not to consider the validity of the Reno di- vorce or what were the actual rela- tions between Graham and Mrs. Glen- nan, whose name was €o often men- tioned in the case. The one question for them to decide Humes _knowingly and willingly alienated the affections of Graham’s| wife. He explained the law of aliena- tion and showed how a woman's af- fections might be transferred from one person to another without the fault or even the knowledge of the latter. Attorneys Daniel Thew Wright and Philip Ershler appeared for Graham, ‘while Humes was represented by At- torneys Wilton J. Lambert, Rudolph H. Yeatman and William i.

Says Turks Are No . Worse Than Greeks. Miss Jean Christie, the tiny, fragile- looking secretary of the Y. W. C. A. In Smyrna until the city was burned to the ground, has just arrived in Wash- Ington for a few days’ visit before go- ing to her home at Springfield, Mass., for a rest before returning to either Athens or Smyrna to carry on with her work. It is only at her family's in- sistent demand that she is remaining in this country at all after having] made her report to the national head- | quarters of the assoclation, for she feels the need of immedlate return to continue her work in the near east. “The conditions there are just as bad as any reports could make them out to be—in fact, even more so.” said Miss Christie this morning, “but there are many inaccuracies and false ports that will creep into the pres: For instance, Tourlan, the Armenian archbishop, w: illed in the hor- rible manner that was stated in the papers. I saw him alive and busy in Athens just before I sailed for the United States. The Greek archbishop, however, was killed in a most horrible manner, Not only the entire city of Smyrna was byrned to cinders, but the Greeks and Armenians, in their fren- zied retreat before the Turks, burned their own towns so as to give their enemy no supplies or plunder. Two Sides to Quention. “I was brought up on stories of the Turkish atrocities, but when 1 ac- tually got over there and endured what the people of Smyrna and those other* towns had to go through, I realized that there were indeed two sides to the question, and, while I do not for a moment condone the least ot the Turkish offenses, I realized that the Greeks and Armenfans com- mitted atrocities just as awful. Yet when one knows thousands of those Turkish, Greek and Armenian girls and women as I know them, one for- gets their nationality and thinks oniy of their need.” There were 1,000 Greek and Arme-! jthe Y.

She is hoping to return tc Smyrna to re- build her assoclation work there, for she feels the Turkish and Jewish girls in that ruined city need help very badly. —— | ‘What the nation needs this year is an open winter, openly arrived at— Kansas City Star. 1921 1921 Nash Touring Chandler Tour- ing Chevrolet F.
