    JURY QUICKLY
- CONVICTS NEGROES
Disposes of the First Case in
Eight Minutes; Seven
For Second
Helena, Ark., Nov. 4. Rapid
progress marked the trials yesterday
of cases growing out of the recent
race disturbances south of this city.
One negro was convicted of first de
gree murder after eight minutes' de
liberation by a circuit court jury.
Five others were found guilty of
a similar charge, after the jurymen
had been out seven minutes. The
verdict means electrocution for the
six negroes. In the first case, that
of Frank Hicks, witnesses testified
M they saw Hicks fire the shots which
resulted in the death of Clinton Lee,
an ex-soldier of this city. The de
fense had no witnesses, argument
was waived, the jury was instructed
and in eight minutes a verdict was
returned.
Defendants in the second case
were Frank Moore, Ed. Hicks, J. E.
Knox, Paul Hall and Ed. Coleman,
charged jointly with the murder of
Lee. Witnesses testified that Moore,
Knox and Hicks acted as leaders in
the incident.
Evidence heard showed the exist
ence of a post of the "progressive
farmers and household union of
Americas" the organisation under
which it is alleged the negroes were
banded for the uprising at Elaine,
18 miles south of Helena, which re
sulted in the death of five white per
sons and a score of negroes.

SYRIANS MUST
BE INDEPENDENT
Nothing Less Will Satisfy
Them, According to Habib
Lotfallah Bey
Jxmdon, Nov. 4. Nothing less
than complete independence will
satisfy the aspirations of the people
of Syria, according to Habib Lot
fallah Bey, chief representative in
Europe of the Syrian Union Com
mittee. Lotfallah Bey has been con
ferring in London with Prince Pal
sal, son of the King of the Hedjaz,
and with British officials regarding
the political future of his country.
He told the Associated Press he. was
confident that the scheme his organi
zation has drawn up for the union
of Palestine, Syria and Mesopotamia
ultimately would be accepted by the
British and French governments as
the best solution of the vexed Sy
rian question.
Bey's Government Plan
Here is an outline of the plan for
a provisional government that Lotfal
lah Bey is submitting to the British
and French authorities:
Appointment of a governor general
by England, France and Arabia and
the formation of two legislative
houses, a chamber and senate,
whose members will be selected on a
democratic basis.
A new civil constitution to be de
vised.
The provisional government to
call upon the League of Nations for
the help of socialists in organizing
a national debt office. Each inter
ested Allied nation to have a repre
sentative in the department in
charge of the country's finances, in
order to safeguard their economic
rights in the country.
The British, French and Arabian
armies of occupation to be with
drawn as soon as the national gov
ernment is established.
As soon as the new government
is formally recognized, the question
of the need of assistance from some
power holding a mandate from the
League of Nations to be examined
and determined."
The chamber and senate to deter
mine by vote whether the govern
ment should be monarchial or repub
lican.
"We ask only," the protest states,
"that the Allies adhere to their
promises to us and permit us to de
cide for ourselves the future of our
country. We ask for complete In
dependence, v.'i'bhout a mandate,
protection or supervision of any
kind."

D STRENGTHENING
l oots of the hair is one
of the real secrets of
forcing hair to grow,
■klT something which has
WMShSIP'T folly realized. Mere-
JMalgat ly stimulating the
surface tissue of the
scalp will not stimulate the hair
growth to the extent desired. By
the new method just mentioned hair
can be forced to grow several inches
a month. Hair will stop falling as if
by magic. The new vigor of the hair
will he quickly noticed, and all bald
spots will be soon entirely filled out
with new sprouts. This can all be
easily obtained by the simple use of
beta-quinol, which can be secured at
any drugstore in the original one
ounce package for 50 cents. This
can be easily mixed at home with a
half pint of bay rum and a half pint
of water. It contains no oil what
ever.
MISS YEARS—On the contrary, re
moving .wrinkles is easy, very easy,
astonishingly easy. And it takes but
two or three minutes a day and a few
cents expense. That you can do it
surely and positively will bo proven
to you absolutely in your mirror in
a few day.). I dare say, nothing has
ever been known to produce such re
sults as by the formula which I give
you here. From your druggist get
two ounces of eptol, which will cost
50 cents, and mix with one table
spoonful of glycerine in half a pint
of water. Mix thoroughly. The
cream that results should be used
very lberally and every day. Quick
ly you will notice the little wrinkles,
deep wrinkles, crows' feet and heavy
lines giving way before an ever in
creasing plumpness of the skin—and
years seem literally to be taken from
the face.
ALE OVER—It Is the easiest thing
you can lmaglna to get rid of black
heads. They can be removed In a
few minutes —and If you doubt It, Just
get some powdered neroxln at the
drugstore for 50 cents, sprinkle some
of It on a wet cloth and rub It on
the blackheads. Then look in the
mirror and try to see them—you'll be
surprised.
HARRISBURG 6@@SB|6 TELEGRAPH
GAVE TENTH OF
THE WAR LOANS
This State Took $2,709,947,500
Worth of Bonds, Re
ports Show
Philadelphia, Nov. 4. Pennsyl
vania raised more than 10 per cent
of the total amount of money sub
scribed by the entire Nation for
the four Liberty and one Victory
Loans.
This fact is made public to-day by
the Pennsylvania War History Com
mission from material received
from both the Third Federal Re
serve Distridt, embracing Eastern
Pennsylvania and Philadelphia, and
the Fourth Federal Reserve District,
which includes Pittsburgh and the
western and end of the State.
The exact per cent for Pennsyl
vania is .1121, which represents $2,-
709,947,800 of the entire $24,072,-
111,400 raised throughout the en
tire United States in the Ave loans.
In addition, Pennsylvania's per
capita subscription to each loan, the
Commission learns, is far greater
than the per capita subscrip
tion of the Nation. The individual
Pennsylvanlan averaged about $BO
worth of bonds more than the aver
ago American on all five loans.
Pennsylvania's best record was in
the Fourth Loan where the per
capita subscription was $93.79,
which was $26.31 better than the
per capita for the country. In that
loan also, 2,349,252 residents of the
State bought bonds, which repre
sented a subscriber among every five.

NORWAY TRADE
SHOWS INCREASE
Abundant Signs of Good Re
lationship With United
States
Christiania, Nov. 4. There are
abundant signs everywhere of the
development of broader commercial
relationships of every kind between
Norway, and the United States, ac
cording to Marion Letcher, American
consul general. In a statement con
cerning the Norwegian-American
Exhibition here, Mr. Letcher said:
"Previous to 1914 our trade with
Norway was exceedingly light, but
now, notwitstanding the long und
extensive haul,' American commodi
ties are almost as common in Chris
tiania as in New York. A number
of Norway's enterprising young men
have gone to my country during the
last several months to study these
conditions at first hand and to form
connections there.
"This exhibition, which Is con-!
fined practically to goods to be dis- j
played by Norwegian representatives :
of American firms, will emphusize |
the value of doing business through i
direct Norwegian representation j
rather than through distributing j
agencies located in other countries, ;
and I am sincerely hopeful that
American business men will not fall !
to see the force of this lesson.
"Up to the present the trade that i
has sprung up between the two coun- j
tries has been largely fortuitous.
American business men will be wise
to understand this and prepare for
more permanent relationship through
fixed local representatives."
