to be held in the Armory Novem-

pices of the Salem Chamber of

tne greatest corn show and indu-

Each of the eight Marion coun-

Heretofore the exhibits have Just
been picked up from the farmers,

show.
At the first corn show to be
held in Salem, that or two years

5000. Lat year this was doubled
some 10,000 attending. It is ex

Supply, Is Said i
ATLANTIC CITY. N. J.. OcL 14.
(By Associated Press. y Sup
port of the American Federation
Of Labor was: accorded the '1 15S,-
000 striking miners in the anthra
cite field today after President
John L. Lewis of the United Mine
Workers had addressed the dele
gates and stirred them to enthusi
asm by his recital of conditions in
the industry.
Mr. Lewis, said miners would
not falter or depart from ; the pol
icy laid down, and he warned the
public it was due for a "rude
awakening" if it believed there
was an ample supply of coal on
hand. j . .
"Hundreds of thousands of
homes will be without fuel and
will be unable to secure fuel," he
said, "until it can be produced
at the mines and distributed "
Mr. Lewis also charged that the
operators were extorting millions
of dollars from the public by sell
ing inferior grades of coal.
Among the outstanding resolu
tions adopted today was one re
stating labor's traditional opposi
tion to "injunction abuses," but
going a step further by advocting
legislative enactment to limit the
power of equity courts.
Vice President Charles G. Dawes
came in for condemnation for
"conducting an agitation for the
purpose of abolishing free speech
in the United States senate, the
only forum where cloture does not
exist and where members can pre
vent the passage of reactionary
legislation." ;
"It is a vicious idea, a vicious
purpose to which the vice presi
dent has loaned himself, and we
recommend that every means be
taken to expose this un-American
proposal."

JURY GETS CASE TODAY
Defense VTHI Sum Up Arguments;
Trial of Ellsworth Kefley
WIU Get Under Way ,
Immediately
The jury that is to decide the
fate of Tom Murray, convict ac
cused by the state of killing John
Sweeney, a guard, while escaping
from the state prison on August
12, will probably receive the case
from the hands of Circuit Judge'
Percy R. Kelly eome time this af
ternoon. The state completed Its
final summary to the Jury Wed
nesday evening and today the" de
fense will sum up its arguments.
Following this, Judge Kelly will
deliver his instructions - to the
jury. It is thought the case will
be concluded by 2 o'clock.
Wednesday morning the state
opened up its rebuttal by calling .
Dr. Li. r. Griffith, alienist at the
state hospital. Dr. Griffith de
clared that he was of the opinion
that Murrav wa nerfeetlv sane.
and that only a sane man could
plan and execute all the details of
the prison break of August 12.
"To carry such a complicated
and perilous plan out successfully
would Indicate to ray mind that
the convict was perfectly sane. ' I
would say he was in full posses
sion of bis faculties and entirely
capable of distinguishing between
right and wrong," Dr. Griffith
said.
Under cross-examination con
iucted by the defense counsel, -Dr
CJriffith's statements were ievi
lently harmful to Murray's case
Counsel for the defense interro
gated the alienist on the effect of
orison life on one of high Intel
'ectual faculties, evidently refer--Ing
to Murray. He detailed con- m
litions supposed to exist in the
'bull pen," and asked Dr. GHjfftlT
t it were not true that one pos
ecsingTan intellect above the t.
rage would feel restraint and so f
ering more keenly than one q(
lower and less intellectual abll
ty. "I do not helievo that such
vould be the case." Dr. Griffith
tated. "A subject possessing rela
ively higher intellectual faculties
vould be much .more able to ad
ust himself to conditions as they
'dually existed and would be bet-
er in a position to approach act
lal conditions with a philosophic
Tame of mind". . . .
"But suppose shot were, fired
nto the , cell occupied fey the pris
oner, without warning and with
out cause. What effect would
'hat have upon his mind," Mr.
Xing asked. , ,
'I itmnnaa that It would Inrreakfl

riled. "The average person, how
vrer. not handicapped by, inherent
-nental weakness or ill health, can ''
mi dure almost anything and 'not
'ose his reason.". , i, I , X : '
