This is a frightfully rich nation. jThe countries of Europe owe us ten thousand millions and will pay us, in- inchiding interest, THIRTY THOUS AND MILLIONS, in the next 61 years. European, debts due to private American purchasers of Europe’s ob ligations amount to eight thousand million dollars. These securities, averaging high interest rates will compel Europe to pay our citizens $500,000,000 a year—with the princi pal when due. Best Speller in U.S. Old Rome, with her consuls pouring in money and slaves from conquered territory, was not nearly as “well fived” as Uncle Sam. No wonder some of our friends in Europe worry, and ask, “Did we fight each other only to make Uncle Sam rich?” —7 Our answer is: “We didn’t ask you to fight.

CHICAGO JURY FREES SHEPHERD Details of the Contest It was a tense moment for little Frank when he won the national championship in this “spelling-bde,”. There he was—just a little shaver— away off from home—in the national capital and pitted against the best eight other spellers irT* the United States. Six of these were girls—and “gee, how they eould spell!” Then came the winning word— “gladiolus”—called the judge.

Jury Out Five Hours Forty-Minutes. Chicago, June 26.—William Darling 4 Shepherd, attorney, was acquitted of Ahe charge of murder of William Nel- spn McCIintock, millionaire orphan, here tonight by a jury in the criminal court. v \ Shepherd was accused 'of adminis tering typhoid germs to the' youth, his foster son, in a plot to cause his death and thereby gain control of the estdte. - The jury deliberated five hours and forty minutes. * Members would not divulge the number of ballots taken, nor the methods by which they reached final agreement. They said that they had taken a collective oath not to reveal the record of the balloting. As a result of the verdict Shepherd tonight walked fronrr the Cook gounty jail a iree maiT^tifter .having been in custody since March 15 last. • He still faces another murder charge, but Judge Thomas J. Lynch agreed to permit him to sign his own bond. . At the same time the coroner’s jury recommended that he be held for the murder of Billy McClintopk, it direct ed that he be held for the murder also of Mrs.»Emma Nelson McCIin tock, Billy’s mother, 17 years ago.. It is that charge that still hangs over his head, although <tonight it was not believed by Shepherd that he v/ould ever be brought to trial on it. Shepherd’s ^ face was wreathed in smiles as he heard the verdict read by the court clerk and leaped forward to thank the jurors who had acquit ted him.

She waited with friends at a down town hotel for the verdict. At Shep herd’s side, when the verdict was read, were his brother, J, Henry Shepherd, of Little Rock, Ark., and his former law partner, Robert Stell, who has been with Shepherd constantly in court. Despite stern warnings of bailiffs against a demonstration, the crowd of curious rent the air with cheers. Above the bedlam of cheCrs and the booming of flashlights of news photo graphers, the foreman of the jurtf, William" Burnett, finally made him self heard. He read a note of thanks the -jurors had written to Judge Lynch, expressing "appreciation for hi^ consideration and courtesy, and the orderly manner in which the trial had been conducted. — The judge returned the jurors’ ex pressions of good will; thanked them and released them until tomorrow morning when they can get the pay due them for their long service. Meanwhile, Shepherd and his at torneys, William Scott Stewart and W. W. O’Brien, were waiting at the end of the jury box for a triumphal procession of handshaking and thank ing down its length. Every juror returned smile for smile and handclasp for handclasp. None of the bitterness which sounded in debatjpfe voices, shortly after the jury retired, was evidenced. /DISINFECTANT! THE us!
