Washington, Nov. 20—(UP) Robert W. Stewart, chairman of the board of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana, was acquitted by a jury of nine men and three women in Dispute No. 1135, which court to duty of a charge of perjury.
The jury brought in this verdict after only 55 minutes deliberation, freeing Stewart on each of the three counts of the indictment.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1928
Justice Jennings S. Bailey, in charging the jury, declared they must acquit Warren if they find an actual quorum was lacking in the jury. That which Warren's alleged perjury was committed, Testimony had been presented to show that while some members were present, they were not actually attending. This ruling was generally reasonable to Stewart's acquitted chances.
On the motion of defense counsel Stewart was immediately discharged from custody and his bond was returned.
Rover asserted the government had handed Stewart deliberately falsified his testimony before the Senate Teapot Dome committee last Feb. 2 and 3 to keep from divulging his receipt of one-fourth share of the $100 million in liberty fund profit made by the lobbying Company in a 1971 deal.
U. S. Attorney Leo A. Rowe took less than half an hour in his summation and Hogan contended the brevity of Rove's argument showed the weakness of the government's case will go to the jury this at termon.
Roy quoted Stewart's testimony and said the oil magnates perjured himself by saying he had stolen property and did not profit thereby. Roy praised Stewart's intellect, said he was a smart and a diligent person, purposely evaded, refused to answer and finally answered fabled the questions pressed on him by the Senate.
Discussing alleged discrepancies in testimony given by Senators Nge and Wabsh of the Senate committee in this trial and in the dewar, the senator made a stronger case for perjury against the Senators between this testimony last June in the contempt trial and in this trial than against Col Stewart."
"A couple of politicians and sensual yellow journalism, were responsible for this prosecution," he said.
Hogan and that the jury must find that eight Senators attended the opening of the committee session when Stewart satisfied he had been accused, the court having ruled the Senate could not do business without a quorum.

and March 19, Mr. Obama led the
President-Elect. Herbert Howard
his good-will tour to South America,
headed into semitropical sea off the
Gulf of Mexico.
The radio, the movies, and a newspaper published aboard prevented any sense of isolation from land.
The weather was ideal and the Maryland steamed over a smooth sea at 15 knots.
Hoover turned his thoughts to deep sea fishing, overnight, and was eager to try his hand at it. Deep sea fish were often caught in the Lower California. A recent report of the bureau of fisheries showed that the region is the chief habitat of these species.
The first stop will be Corinto, on the west coast of Nicaragua, and it was expected that a complete titerary would be announced today. From Corinto, the tour will extend to Georgetown, Argentina, Brazil, Cuba and Mexico.

Federal Probe Proves
Vestris Was Poorly
Inspected Before Trip
Captain Sorenson, Passenger Ship's Master, on Stand This Afternoon
New York, Nov. 29—(UP)—six of the coal ports on the vessel Vestris were not thoroughly inspected heeded by the ship's crew a week ago, it developed today.
Edward F. Keane, inspector of the steamboat inspection service, and one of the inspectors in clear the Ventris, admitted at an inquiry by Dickerson N. However, supervising director general of the steamboat inspection service, that he had so roughly examined only eight of the canal ports.
Keane Neglects Ports
"Where were those ports that you could not reach?" Hever asked. "They were on the after end if they amn certain they were shut tight,"
He said he know that all of the coal ports were properly gasketed.
Immediately after Keane bad make this testimony, Hoover read a letter which charged that Keane and Inspector Bruning were drinking during the inspection and that they made no thorough inspection of the Vestria.
Says Inspector Was Drunk
The letter was written by Samuel L. Crone and was sent to J. L. Crone, the chief inspector of inspection in New York.
"Now Captain what have you to say to that?" However asked. Keane was indignant, and he spoke loudly.
"That is the most outrageous he I have ever listened to. I never touched a drop of any liquor in my life, and no man can say I ever took a drink."
**BEST**
How much water did Keesan particularly about the lifeboat tests he had described, and the inspector he used to perform these tests? No, he not lowered completely into the water "Because coal barges were too close on one side and the ship was too close on another," he wrote.

Just a happy mother appears Mrs. Landes. With only a few streaks of gray in her hair she has an abundant show of energy in her quick step and agreeable laugh that gives no blunt insulting woman politician of the cartoonist.

She joined the social service department of the Century club, one of the largest women's city clubs, and became in rapid succession, her department's chairman, the club's president, the City Federation of Women's City Federation of Women's City.
Mrs. Landes did not enter the field of politics until her two children were grown, and then, finding much time given to family affairs unnecessary, gradually and then rapidly entered through the door of the club club.
During an absence of the mayor, Mrs. Landes acted as mayor for about a week, entitled to the office by her position in the city council. During this short time she ordered some correcting police measures which brought her into the next election where she was placed by mayor a 6,000 plurality.
Landes was made chairman of her club's Red Cross department, bearing for two years an incessant strain of work. After the war agitation for a woman member of the city council led to her membership in 1922, where she served for four years, the latter part as its president.
"People were very much disgusted with the moral conditions of the city," Mrs. Landes said in commenting upon her election.
Two years later she was defied for re-election, she said, but her administration was not criticized as a major force in the nation; it brought upon Seattle. The important problems of the regulations of traffic and health, and the management of the city light and fire, were not criticized severely, she added.

Hamlet by Kansas Players Skillfully Presented Drama
Re-Arrangement of Scenes by Professors Allows Time Reduction in Play
Play is Rearranged
By C. Stankey Packard
Professor one even taught of preserving a life even though the audience at the first performance of Hamlet given had night in Praser hall theater by the Kansas students been valuable, or at least interesting as a Who's father of campus leaders, faculty members and townpeople. Some spectators, who had seen Hamlet in college, were instead "culturally" in hated classrooms and makeshift programs of the literature societies, were surprised to find this moving swiftly from one mood to another within the greater mood of tragedy; as entertaining in its lighter passages as an urgent story of moving swiftly from those out front in Ophelia's mad scene as of provoking what is technically known as "beauty" laughter in comic sunrivals of the "breat" Polonius.
The swift movement was due to two things. Prof. Robert Calderwood, general director, had skillfully cut the manuscript to 12 scenes, and shortened the play to a two and one half hour performance. Prof. Allen Bashford, who created a unit set which made eleven changes in 30 minutes possible.
Professor Crafton's enquiries was much better than that of the shupper, who often went over, old English words and all. The difficult colleagues were con-

Caldweller the Polonius drew genuine laughs despite the fact every person seated in the audience had read them at last once before.
George Callahan was good in the part of messing, making his brief interview more interesting despite his disadvantage in being too well known by members of the group.
Jessica Crafton did the part of Gertrude well, though she didn't quite know what to do. She left the last scene. A more technicality for the property man he must put into place.

The idea of a ghost off-targe worked out very well without the use of glowing lights or any other such devices. Pref. E. C. Bubler was largely responsible for this work, and were in a well-chosen tone. Hamlet aided by directing attention to the voice with appropriate movements and sounds.
