YES. \\E ARE VERY RICH,
$5,000 TOR CURSING.
FLYING IN THE ARCTIC.
ONE LADY LEARNS.
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. Be wiser next time.”
The American Society for the con
trol of ^Cancer is cheerful.. It reports
excellent progress. Thousands of
lives, now needlessjy^ sacrificed, would
be saved, if people were informed arid
would keep away from quacks. The
society -deniee-fhe -statement
made at a convention of doctors that
“nobody really know§ anything about
cancer.”
“Cancer is not contagious or inherit
ed,” says the American Society.
Take the cancer in the beginning when
it is only local.
David Cowan, a young Canadian,
won $5,000 for -the best essay predict
ing the developments in electrical in
dustry between 1920 and 1930. At
the end of 1930, the American Super
power Corporation will give $10,000
to the essay writer whose predictions
come nearest to tho truth.
Frank Neuhauser, 11 yean bid,
of Louisville, Ky., won a gold
medal and $500 for being the best
speller in the U. S. Two million
school children competed. The
finals, with nine entries, were held
in W ishington.
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.
A little girl from the East—whose
turn it was paused—studied—looked at

Acquitted on Charge of Murder of
William McCIintock. 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.
His wife, Mrs. Julia Shepherd, was
not in the coTxrtr~rdOffi, "havTrig found

Down the line came the word—r-the

“Correct,” said the judge— and
Frank was champion.
His father, a laborer in a saw mill
at Lexington was mighty proud of his
little Frapk.
“The $500,” said he, “will be saved 1,

the six weeks’ period of the trial too
great a strain for her.
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.
