It appears that there are some serious doubts as to just what 1 the status is. One of three things, it appears, must hold: 1. That there will be an election for * the unexpired portion of Sheriff Fant's term. 1 2. Or, for a full term of four years. I 3. Or, there will be no election un- 1 e til two years from now, and in that i case Sheriff Vinson will hold over to " that time. We will all receive with interest an 1 opinion from the attorney general, if ' he should render one. The whole quesB tion is now "up in the air," and no^ body seems to know just where we r stand. c Policeman Injured in Riot Uniontown, Pa., April 29.?Four s state policemen and half a dozen strike sympathizers were injured in a 3 riot at Hillban Coal company's plant f today.

Knox, charged with the murder of Mrs. Roger D. Eastlake at Colonial Beach, when the lie was passed between Harry M. Smith, Jr., chief :ounsel for the defense, and A. R. Crowthers of Ocean City, N. J., one if the state's chief witnesses. After the court had ruled on the question which caused the contention, the matter was smoothed out and Mr. Smith apologized for using the term. The dispute arose when Crowthers, who, the prosecution contends, sharpened the hatchet with which the murier was committed, said that during a visit to Ocean City January 24, Smith assured him there would be no dispute over the hatchet. The attorney resented this and denied he had ever made such a statement. "I have never heard any man call me a liar in my life," Crowthers shouted his face flushed. "Well, you hear one now," the lawyer retorted. "I will attend to that remark," the witness warned, "when me meet out?ide." Watt T. Mayo, commonwealth at^rney, sprang to his feet and Judge Joseph W. Chinn rapped sharply for srder. Mr. Smith then addressed the the courts declaring that in 40 years af practice he had never been accused of unethical action. He said his visit to Ocean City had had no connection with the Gastlake case lor with the hatchet. Mr. Mayo asked that Crowthers be allowed to explain his testimony. Judge Chinn jrdered both lawyers to their seats, declaring Mr. Smith was within his rights and that, if the prosecution wished to discuss the defense at;orney's visit to Ocean City, he would iear it privately to rule on its admissibility as evidence. ^ Crowthers, when he resumed his testimony, said Mr. Smith had conducted himself in a gentlemanly manner while at his home and the attorney apologized for his nunajrks, The witness identified the hatcnet found on the premises of the Eastlake residence the morning of the death as one, he said, he had sharpened for Miss Knox September 7, 1921. He related many conversations he said he had had with the nurse and identified her handwriting in several letters. He said she had asked him several times how one :ould dispose of a person without being detected and how one could deal a "knockout" blow "that wouldn't kill." He also testified that she told him Roger D. Eastlake, the victim's husband, who was indicted with her and had been acquitted, had given her the hatchet at Sewell's Point, N. J., in 1919. He was unable to identify the tool as a navy hatchet when questioned by Mr. Smith. Crowther's testimony was similar to that of his wife, who preceded him on the stand, telling of the hatchet sharpening incident and detailing various conversations with Miss Knox as to money she declared the nurse said Eastlake owed her.

The passing: of Deschanel, who for many years had been prominent in the political life fcf France, caused widespread sorrofpfe ; His friends had hoped for his rec^ery until this morning when the physicians in attendance announced^ that he could not survive. Madame Peschanel was al the bedside when MB* husband died. The former president's eagerness to be up and doin^f notwithstanding his long weakenedjbondition, played an important part' In the hastening of his death. He to isisted last week on leaving his residence before he had completely recovered from a cold There was a relapse Sunday and double pneumonia developed on Monday. Premier Poilitare was among the first persons to. call at the Des chanel residence after the deatli of the statesman to express the sympathy of the French government.

Clemenceau then at the height cjf his power as the French war prem!^ and one of the negotiators of the t treaty with Ger many, was, up until a few days bs fore the election, believed to be the only candidate who; had a chance fo. the office. Cetfcoli t and Socialis'. votes in the French parliament, how ever, combined with those of the political enemies 3 and forced by illness to resign, the "Tiger" was asked if he would again permit his name to be used as a candidate for the presidency. "I was too old to be elected last January," he replied ironically, "and I feel too young to accept now, in case I was chosen. I am going into India's jungles to hunt tigers, which is much less dangerous than French politics." % rt A 1 AOA ? o un may ?. *, a *cw iuuuuio after taking up his residence at the Elysee palace as the successor of Poincare, President Deschanel, when on his way at night from Paris tc Monbrison to dedicate a monument fell from a moving train while attempting to raise a window in hi? sleeping compartment.

M MANY PRISONERS ARE SENTENCED New York, April 28.?Ninety-four persons appeared for sentence today in the criminal court of Manhattan, the largest number that ever went up to the bar in a single day to take their medicine in the history of the city. Most of them received unusually severe punishment, the judges holding that severity was needed to check the frequency of crime. Eugene Diaset and Moise Bagnoli confessed participants in the recent $75,000 midday holdup and robbery of the Washington square home of Albert R. Shattuck, retired banker, were both sentenced by Judge Rosalsky to confinement of 40 to 60 years in Sing Sing. They were two of the gang of five which locked the Shattucks and their servants in the wine vault, where they almost suffocated while the home was boldly plundered. Their counsel asked for light punishment, as both had good war records in the service. "A sub.-tantial sentence must be imposed," said the judge, "such a sentence as will strike terror to the hearts of bandits of this kind." Thre> of the four men who tried to hold up Charles M. Brady, construction company cashier, on March 31, near the Grand Central terminal, were given 18 year second offenders, and the foi rth man got eight years as a first offender. AH had pleaded guilty. Theirs was a daylight holdup, frustrated by detectives, tipped off in advance. Charles Jpl. Tampa, 22, thrice convicted of carrying a pistol, got seven years. U ?.. O A - 'in nutty xtnia, wan ^ivcil U OU year sentence for holding up the own;r of a delicatessen store and forcing ^.im to turn over the $.r>9 in the cash register. Philip Spelieti, 18, received a ten year sentence for a similar crime. A warning against undue optimism that crime had been checked was given ty Judge Rosalsky in dismissing the regular and additional grand juries. He reminded them that penal institutions were daily discharging large numbers, "who have been convicted of crime and who will return to "The real crooks are seldom caught," he added. "When you read in the papers of a burglary or robbery ycu seldom read of the capture. The authorities of this city who combat crime are satisfied that there is a band of master crooks who direct crime in the city and it is these we must get."

MOSCOW LEADERS HELD TO BLAMI Paris, April 28 (By the Associat ed Press).?Responsibility for th< murder and burning: of former Em peror Nicholas of Russia and al members of his family is placed bj Nicholas Sokololf on the "leaders ol the Bolshevik government in Moscow He makes his statement after a thre< years' inquiry officially ordered by th? Kolchak government. M. Sokololf was for many years in vestigating .magistrate under the inv perial regime in Russia and is gen erally described as the best living au thority on the circumstances sur rounding the death of the Russian inr perial family. In support of his accusation Soko loff has gathered more than 3,00< pages of testimony and a gruesonu collection of photographs, bones am clothes. Among the evidence is i code telegram, represented as an offi cial report of the murders to th< Moscow government by the Soviet of ficials at Ekaterinburg, where th? crime is said to have occurred. 11 reads: "Inform Sverdoloff that th< entire family has endured the same fate as the head. Officially the fam ily will perish during the evacuation.' The question of the Moscov Soviet's responsibility for the deatl of Nicholas and his family was re vived this week by M. Chicherin'i statement at Genoa that responsibil ity rested with the local Soviet am that Moscow did not know of the ex ecutions until after they had hap pened because communication be tween Moscow and Ekaterinburg wa: nnt r?fV t Vt rnii rrV? a/' cupation. This statement has beet the subject of agitated comment ant denial among Russian exiles in Pari: and SokolofT issued his report wit! the intention of furnishing final ant definite proof that full responsibility not only for the murder of the for mer emperor but for the murder o1 his wife and four daughters is upor the Moscow government. A Message to Voters Now that women have the privilege of voting, hit us not take the respon sibility lightly, but let all who a~f< qualified to vote arrange their affair: so that they can appear at the polls even though it entails a personal sac rifice to leave home on that day. In studying the list of candidates let us honestly try to select those wh< are of the highest types of character and who are best qualified to fill th< offices which they seek. Do not voti for a man just because his cousin': brother-in-law once lent your great uncle a lawn mower! Do not feel ob ligated to vote for any one because h or some member of his family ha shown you kindnesses. No matte how grateful you may be, remembe that your vote should not he narrow ly personal, hut that it should be ens for those who will fulfill their dutie most admirably. Let our women mi selfishly vote for the good of th town, regardless of any adverse crit icisms that may result from it. Personally, I would unhesitatingl vote against my brother or my hu.or niv son if their onnonent were better fitted to fill the offici they desired. I would consider m\ self a very unworthy, unpatriotic cit zen if 1 were so selfish as to vol otherwise. Mary Steele Hamhlin. 1 Birth Announcement Mr. and Mrs. J. D.
