perlty of its peoples.
"These cries of Buy British,' 'Buy
French' and 'Buy American' may
serve some purpose for the present
but they are killing International
trade upon which the well being of
all the countries of the world
thrives," said Pierce. "The triangle
of trade that used to take tho great
wheat crops of this section of tho
country into the profitable markets
of Europe Is not working, today. Wo
must open up these markets again
must buy and sell among one an
other to bring back prosperity around
the world."
The speaker reiterated his remarks
of previous speaking occasions when
he said "this Is a day when a new
world Is being born and we must
adjust ourselves to it socially, polit
ically and economically." "The old
age of machinery that gave money to
a few but filled our streets with un
employment Is gone," he added. "The
government, In this new day, must
continue to finance much of our ex
isting business."
Mr. Pierce paid compliment to the
recent celebration and Its handlers
In the remark that he was "surprised
at the magnificence and harmony
with which it was put on."

ACQUIT HICKMAN
OF CHARGES OF
STRANGLING GIRL
SAN FRANCISCO, July 25 (ff The
question of "who killed Louise Jep
pesen?" remained unanswered today
with Millard Hickman, 45-year-old
marine engineer, freed of the charge
he ravished and strangled the pretty
Ogden, Utah, girl In. Golden Gate
park last May,
A superior court Jury required only
one hour and 49 minutes deliberation
and but a single ballot last night to
find Hickman Innocent of the brutal
slaying.
The stato had demanded the death
penalty.
Prosecutor Poter J. Mulllns termed
tho vordlct "a miscarriage of Justice,"
while Mrs. Ruth' Dunk ley, sister of
the murdered girl, oald simply that
"wo will never change our opinion
about Hickman."
"Wo have folt," Mrs. Dunkley said,
"that he robbed us of our sister and
broke our mother's heart. No mem
ber of our family can ever be the
Bame again,"
The state, In Its efforts to send
Hickman to the gallows, had built
up a purely circumstantial case,
charging that after a gay party he
had attacked the Jeppesen girl In his
apartment and then had driven her
to Ooldcn Oate park and killed her
because of fear she might accuse
him.
