Close Marked by Oratory
The jury in the Kent trial had not

have listened to testimony and argu
ments in the case in which 'Dr." H.
S. Kent is charged with attempted
murder of new born twins, found in
an abandoned well near Thirty-third
and California streets, filed to the
jury room. It took only a few min
utes to elect a foreman and then the
jury went to dinner, returning in a
short time to begin deliberations.
Kent's stoicism never left him and
shortly after the jury marched to its
-room, Kent arose and was taken by
his jailer to the county jail, his home

Miss Louise Boeke, whose fate also
is in the hands of the Kent jury,
failed to show any signs of distress
under bitter denunciation by the
prosecution io arguments to the jury.
She left the court room with her
mother shortly after the jury disap
peared. If the Kent jury returns a convic
tion against the bearded, gray-haired
defendant, aged 61, it may mean the
arrest of Louise Boeke, 25, charged
with being mother ot tne twins,
County Attorney Shotwell an
nounced yesterday that incriminating
evidence at the trial nnKing Louise
Boeke with the motherhood of the
twins may cause her arrest in the
event the jury tinds Kent gamy. ,
Oratory Marks Close.
Pathos, sarcasm, denunciation and
oratory marked closing arguments in
the Kent trial yesterday. The argu
ments opened at 10 in the morning
by Assistant County Attorney Ros

two-hour recess intervening.
Crowds which filled the court
room from the opening day of the

Magazine U Published
With Blank Pages, Due
To Strike of Printers
Boston, Nov. 11. The appearance,
at the annual session of the National
C.ranire. of its monthly magazine
with two pages blank, was explained
at a meeting of the board of man
agers by the editor, Charles M. Gard

of printers for more pay.

when he and his foreman locked up
the 'pages, stereotypes refused to
handle them. The board of man

Shanghai Officials

Copyright 1U30.
Shanghai, Nov. 11. The city
magistrate and the chief of police
of the native city in Shanghai have
issued an edict against extravagant
styles now" being worn by Chinese
women. It warns against aping for
eign styles, with the display of
ankles and bare arms.
The mandate reads as follows:
"Women's wearing apparel is
mostly too short, permitting the ex
posure of arms and ankles. Some of
the clothing is an imitation of for
eign styles, making the wearer
neither foreign nor Chinese. The
wearers are devoid of shame and fre
quent public streets without em
barrassment. In the future all such
cases will be arrested arid fined."
Attitude of U. S.
Turks' Reason for
Holding Coombs
Friendliness of Government
To Armenia Given as Cause
For Detention of Ameri-
can by Nationalists.
New York, Nov. 11. The friendly
attitude of the United States towards
Armenia and absence of diplomatic
relations with Turkey are given as
reason for the Turkish nationalists'
action in holding Col. J. P. Coombs,
director of the American Commission
for Relief n the Near East at Sam
soun, according to a message from
Colonel Coombs to the organization's
representative in Constantinople, re
ceived by cable. v
Previous dispatches from Constan
tinople reported trat the nationalists
had refused Colonel Coombs permis
sion to enter the interior on a tour
of inspection or to allow him to re
turn I to Constantinople. His mes
sage, apparently quoting the nation
alists, said that permission was re
fused on three grounds: First, be
cause diplomatic relations Between
the Turks and the Unitedf States
were not yet in force and because
the United States belongs to "a
political party" desiring to force the
Turkish people to accept the odious
Sevres treaty."
The second reason was that in
Oriental questions, America is
"always on the side of Armenia,
worst enemy of the Turks and has
sustained Armenian morale material
ly without taking into consideration
Turkish claims." '
The third reason is that an "ac
tual state of war exists between
Turkey and Armenia which obliges
us to prevent your journeying into
the interior. . ,y . . .
The Turkish' applanation " comes
with the statenv.-r.t that "at present
travel by Americans in or out of na
tionalist territories is prohibited ex
cept by special instructions from
Angora.
Irish Home Rule Bill
Passes Commons After
Rather Tame Debate
London. Nov. 11. The Irish home
rule bill passed the house of com
mons on its third reading tonight,
after a motion for rejection of the
measure proposed by -William C.
Adamson, the opposition leader, had
been defeated by 183 to 52.
The measure passed without any
noteworthy incident in a rather tame
debate. The liberal and labor mem
bers: who have bovcotted it through
most of its stages as a sign of their
conviction of its hopelessness as a
settlement of the Irih problem, were
again absent - The final stage was
reached in a small and rather list
less gathering of members of the

Ceremonies Held in Paris
My Th. AwWM-latrd rresN.
London. Nov. 11. Great Britain
today impressively honored its war
heroes by according a field mar
shal's funeral to an unknown British
warrior, who was buried in West
minster Abbey, and unveiling a per
manent cenotaph in Whitehall to
"the glorious dead. Aside ironi
members of the roval familv; who in-
eluded Queen Mary, Queen Mother
Alexandra and Queen Maud of Nor

nesses to either ceremony were per
sons who lost relatives in the great

King George, facing the 16th cen
tury coffin of the unknown soldier,
which was resting on a gun car-
ribge, drew a cord that released the
Union Jack draped above the
cenotaph, and after the last stroke
ot tht: hour,1 thousands of people,
who crowded Whitehall as far as
one could see in either direction, re
mained absolutely silent for two
minutes.
s Silence is Broken.
This silence was broken by a choir
softly beginning the hymn: "Oh
God, Our Help in Ages Past," which
was followed by the Lord's prayer,
recited by the archbishop of Canter
bury. Buglers sounded "The. Last
Pest," and with its escort of troops
and a band, the gun carriage then
moved toward the Abbey, with Kins
George, as chief mourner, plodding
behind it accompanied by the royal
princes.
During the brief services in the
nave of the Abbey, the king stood
at the foot of the grave, the royal
ladies and princesi ranging them
selves on either side. Of all the
witnesses that packed Whitehall or
crowded the Abbey, a little band ot
approximately 100 women in the
Abbey received the most reverent
attention. They had been selected
for the seats of honor because each
had lost her husband and all her
sons. Every woman in England so
bereft who applied for a place got
it, but less than half the other ap
plicants for seats were successful,
owing to the lack of space.

After the 100 had been seated,
the rextr to be considered were those
mothers who lost their only sons,
or all their sons, and then came
women who lost their husbands
only. They were given positions in
accordance with the price they had
paid during the war. A girl wh
wrote she had lost nine brothers
killed or missing, was given a ticket,
as also was a 12-year-old boy who

Bankers Demand
Entire Time of
Head of Bureau
Want Law Requiring Jrop-
erty statement b torn Persons
Borrowing Over $100 From
Financial Institutions.
Lincolnl Nov. 11. (Special.)
The' State Bankers' association,
group No. 1, has gone on record in
favor Ojf divorce. It wants the state
banking bureau divorced ' entirely
from any other department of the
slate and a man placed in charge
who will devote his time to. the de
partment of banking. It does not
like to have the bureau married to
the insurance department, the se
curities department, the fire war
den's bureau and some others. It
is of the opinion that the banking
interests of the. state are of suffi
cient importance to be divorced
from all other activities. .
The group, which is meeting in
Lincoln, after 'a spirited discussion
jn wbjch many of the bankers of
the smaller towrjs opposed, adopted
a recommendation for a law that
will require all persons desiring
'loans jn excess 'of $100 to make a
property statement. The opposition
of the country bankers was to mak
ing the law apply to all loans, no
matter how small, but when the
amount was made over $100 they
agreed to the proposition.
The following were elected for the
ensufng year: President, . B. Clem
ens Beatrice: vice president, C. S.
Aldrich, Elmwood: secretary,
Charles Ware, Verdon.

Bomb Plot
Solved Says
N.Y.World
Responsibility for Wall Street
Disaster Laid Upon Individ- .
ual Laboring Men or La
bor Sympathizers.
Threats Not Explained
By The Associated Pre.
New York, Nov,ll. Responsibil
ity for the disastrous Wall street ex
plosion last September, the echo of
vvliich was heard around ihe world
in denunciations of "reds" and "an
archists," today was charged to in
dividual laboring men or labor sym
pathizers by thr New York Evening
World. The paper, however, ad-,
mitted it could not explain presence
of threats signed, "Anarchist Fight
ers" found in a mail box near the
scene of the explosion.
In a three-page story, the paper
announced that the mystery of th
blast that killed nearly 40 persons
ana injured 15(K'more had been
"solved." The theory advanced wai
that the. death wagon in which the
bomb had exploded had not been
sent into the financial district to terrorize-"the
capitalist class," but tint
it had been intended as a reprisa.
against Robert P. Brindell, presi
dent of the Building Trades, council
and 85 "Brindell workers" employed
in demolishing the Stock Exchange
building annex. Held upon the way.
the DQmb was believed by the paper
to have exploded before it reached
its destination.
Linked With Building Trust.
Seeking to link the explosion with
the "building trust graft" now be
ing investigated by a joint legislative
committee the paper, . naming t
hftise wreckers' union, said:
"The Evening World - presents
proof that 1,800 men, nearly all foreign-born,
sober, industrious, effi
cient and well-disciplined, have with
in a space of 18 months, been sub
jected to an amazing conspiracy of
greed and injustice, and the explo
sion was the culmination of this
tyranny. The building trades graft
vas responsible for the, crime. Th-.?
Evening World does not charge the
union, as a union, with responsibil
ity, ft was the work of individuals,
possibly inside the union, possibly
th? work of sympathizers.
"Further proofs are presented that
the wrath aud resentment of these
working men and their fellows who
knew of their tragic losing fight to
avert vagrancy and starvation in
days of overflowing labor oppor
tunity was centered not only on
their arch-oppressor. Robert P. Briu
djll, dictator of the Building Trades
Council. 1 but upon house -wrecking
contractors,' '
Sworn to Investigate.
The police and agents of the De
partment of Justice, the paper as
serts, today are "busy looking
through the membership rolls of
House Wreckers union number 95,
to find meu who might have been
so false to modern; labor unioii
principles and the teachings of
Gompers and Fraynet and their own
outspoken advocate oh law and
order, William Zaranko, as to
blacken their organization's good
name by a crime of private venge
ance as horrible and wicked as the
Wall street explosion."
District Attorney Swann an
nounced he had invited every per
witness inline building trust inves
tigation, today, denounced the news
paper story. ,
The story stressed a charge that
efforts had been made by unnamed
persons to prevent evidence relat
