MINEOLA. N. Y., Oct. 24. The jury In the case of Mrs. Florence Conklixx Car man, after listening; all-the afternoon and evening to tne summing up of the defense and tbe prosecution and the charge of Justice Charles H. Kelby. re tired at 9:45 o'clock tonight to begin its deliberations. During Mr. Granam's long summing up in her behalf the defendant eat at the counsel table holding her daugh ter's hand. When Mr. Graham spoKe of Mrs. Carman's family and her free dom she placed a handkerchief to her eyes and wept softly. She quickly calmed herself when her counsel closed. A 10-minute recess was taken and the jury was told to decide whether it would go to dinner before listening to the summing un of the state's case by District Attorney Smith. The Jury de cided to do without dinner at that time, o District Attorney Smith began. "Inside Job" Charged. "I tell you. gentlemen." he said, "I knew this was an inside Job; that St was done by some one who knew the lay of the land. "I determined to get the truth. I went after the person who knew about every person In the house. I tell you this girl has been an unwilling wit ness. The most patftetio thing In this trial was when she said she lied be cause she was sorry for her former mistress. 'It is true that we have treated this girl well. We are proud of that. She told the truth by being well treated and not being bullied.!' The District Attorney vigorously de fended Celia Coleman and then started in to analyze the case of the defense. "You can't expect any enlighten ment," he said, "from Mrs. Carman. She has a vital interest in the outcome of this case. Woman' Curiosity Asserted. "Do you think that it would be hu man for a woman to come downstairs after hearing a noise,-finding out that a woman had .been shot and then not have, .the curiosity to go Into the doc tor's office and see who it was?" The District Attorney then took up the Carman family. He said all was untrue, as the witness had motives to "I did not cross-examine Elizabeth, because I didn't have the heart," con tinued Mr. Smith. "God forbid that I should ever cross-examine a little girl who is trying to save her mother. "Now," he went on, "I'll tell you why Mrs. Carman said 'I shot him.' - We don't contend she intended to kill her husband, not at all. He testified that his ducklng and the report or tne re volver were simultaneous. He dropped on the floor behind the operating chair. SO she thought the bullet had hit her husband. - Headache Adda to Worry. "I don't know whether or not it was a case of mistaken Identity regarding Mrs. Bailey. Nobody will ever know unless Mrs. Carman tells. When Mrs. Carman came from a visit to New York that evening -she had a headache and was in just the frame of mind to allow small things to worry her. So she lis tened over the telephonic Instrument. She told Elizabeth to stop. Elizabeth did. Then the people in the waiting room heard some woman walk through the dining-room. Now do you believe Celia Coleman?" "It makes no difference to you." con tinued Mr.- Sn;ith. "whether Celia told the truth. The thing for you now is to believe that she finally told it." The District Attorney described the testimony about the bloodhounds as an insult to any juror's intelligence. Defenne Says Man Shot. The attorney for the defense asserted that the slayer of Mrs. Bailey undoubt edly was a man and not his client. He .scouted the testimony of Celia Coleman and Frank B'arrell, two of the prose cutor's chief witnesses, and ended by appealing to the Jurors to restore the defendant to her home and her family. Justice Kelby began to deliver his r 'i n t-u p Rhnrtlv uftAr S n'rlnnk. He ex plained the different degrees of homi cide, discussed at some length the credibility of witnesses and said that a mass of evidence in this case was ad mitted for the purpose of Impeaching other witnesses. During the first hour of the jury's deliberations, Mrs. Carman remained in the chambers at the rear of the court. An hour and five minutes after the jury had retired, it sent out a re quest for some testimony. Mrs. Carman, highly nervous, was brought out into the courtroom. Three women friends and a prison guard fol lowed her. She took her seat at the counsel table. The jury then suddenly decided it did not desire the testimony and the defendant was led back to the chambers. l , w ::tf -Vp A ) 1 ' v: Photo hy Underwood & Underwood.

"This morning a German officer was sent under a flag of truce to the com mander of the French army operating in this region. He requested an arm istice to bury the dead and remove Jthe wounded. The French commander sent this officer back to his lines and imme diately caused the attack on the enemy to be renewed. "The advance we at once made against the enemy made it possible for us to-secure the advantage .over them which they had been endeavoring, to obtain over- us by an armistice, and it showed at the same time the absurdity of the- success claimed by our adver series for themselves."

QUORUM IS NOT PRESENT 'God Bless Ts Everyone," Says Speaker Clark, and Senate Closes Business. With Least Demon stration in Its History. WASHINGTON. Oct. 24. After nearly 19 months of continuous session, the longest ever taken, the Sixty-third Con gress adjourned its second session to day, after the collapse of prolonged efforts to procure cotton growers' re lief legislation. . Leaders in this movement agreed to adjourn, however, only on the condi tion that pending ' cotton relief meas ures would have the right of way when Congress reconvenes, December 7. Not more than 30 members of the House and lees than a quorum of the Senate were in attendance when the gavels fell on adjournment without day. The end was accomplished through a concurrent resolution, ending the session at 4 o'olook in the after noon, but clocks were ahead, actual adjournment occurring at 1:32 In the House and at 8:27 in tbe Senate. As the altered hands of tbe House elock drew near 4, while the Senate was winding up legislative business. Speaker Clark arose at his desk, and, facing the scattered attendance on the floor, said: "This is the longest and most la borious session that Congress ever has known. I congratulate you - most heartily on being able to adjourn at last. I wish to thank every member of the House Democrats, Republicans, Progressives and Independents for uniform courtesy shown to the Speaker. Now, in the language of Tiny Tim: God bless us every one.' " The donate adjournment was prob ably the most undemonstrative in its history. Democratic leaders and a i'ew Republicans were attting behind closed doors, confirming nominations, when word came that the House had carried out the adjournment resolution. Sen ator Kern, the majority leader, at once moved to open the doors. When this was ordered, the doorkeeper hurriedly set the clock ahead and Senator Swan son, of Virginia, presiding in the ab sence of the Vice-President and Presi dent Pro Tempore Clarke, announced that the Senate was adjourned. Senators who had remained for the finality hurriedly letl ths chamber. The announcing of the abandonment of the filibuster for cotton legislation followed a conference held early in the day. Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia, and Representative Henry, of Texas, told the Senate and House it was ap parent no quorum could be procured for consideration of cotton legislation at this time, and that further filibus tering might injure chances of ulti mate success. Representative Henry expressed his conviction that Congress would be con vened in extraordinary session by the middle of November, when the fight could be resumed. One of the last acts of the House was the adoption of & resolution au thorizing the appointment of a com mittee to investigate cotton conditions In the South and to report possible measures for Federal aid by Decem ber 15. On the committee were Rep resentatives Mann. Austin, Henry, Lever, Heflin, Bell, of Georgia, and Langley. EXHIBITS NOW INVITE AID Needy Mothers Offer Commodities Through; Women's League.

THE EASIEST WAY TO END DANDRUFF Stop Falling: Hair and Itching Scalp. There is one sure way that never falls to remove dandruff completely ana that is to dissolve It. This de stroys it entirely. To do this, just get about four ounces of plain, ordi nary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning most. If not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every sin gle sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have. You will find. too. that all Itching and digging of the scalp will stop In stantly, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better. If you want to keep your hair look ing rich, do by all means get rid of dandruff, for nothing destroys the hair so quickly. It not only starves the hair and makes it fall out. but it makes it stringy, straggly, dull. dry. brittle and lifeless, and everybody notices it. Tou can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It Is inexpensive, and four ounces is all you will need. This simple remedy has never been known to fail. Adv.
