MAY ASK DEATH PENALTY TODAY FOR MARSHALL By VniteS PHILADELPHIA, March Marshall's trial for the murder of Anna May Dietrich today swung into, its ninth day with the end of the State's case in Bight, The defense lost another move to end the trial on a technicality late in yesterday afternoon'B ses sion, when, after a bitter exchange of personalities between Abraham Wernick, Marshall's counsel, and District Attorney Fox, the defense for the third time moved for withdrawal of a juror, the technical motion for mistrial.

The motion was promptly overruled by Judge McDevitt, with admonition to the opposing counsel to "try the case." Introduction of four State witnesses to substantiate the murder charge and the State's demand for the death penalty were awaited today. Deputy Coroner Clark Stull, of Delaware County, the State's first important witness today testified an autopsy had revealed Miss Dietrich met her death through "compression of the neck." Stull had made the first examination of the headless and legless body of the girl when it was de-posited in the Media morgue, after its discovery in a wood at Rosetree several miles from Media.

"No matter what happens," was the Plttsburger's reply. "Is the situation, aside from the senatorship, in statu quo?" "In statu quo is correct." The next questions were whether the Mellons are in anyway committed to the Beidleman candidacy for Governor and whether they had discussed the Beidleman candidacy with Baker.

The rather evasive reply was: "The Secretary and I are not committed to any gubernatorial candidate at this time." Baker Declines to Talk It is believed that one purpose of the Mellons in Chairman Baker to Washington was to learn from the chairman how far, if at all, he has been forced into the Vare camp in view of Vare'a reported allegiance with Beidleman as a When Baker was questioned by the newspapermen along these lines he declined to commit himself, as was expected, pointing out that as State chairman he. was not supposed to take sides. It is generally conceded that the Mellons have gotten nowhere as yet in their efforts to agree on a man for Governor who will bring all the factions together. In considering the selection of a man fof their support they are keeping in mind the fall election and the serious effect upon organization strength that would result if the present factional warfare within the party continue through the primaries. Afraid of Pinchot They fear that Pinchot, even if defeated in the primaries, will run as an independent candidate for Senator, In which event a split organization would be in a serious plight in the general election.

Vare, who is in Philadelphia today attending the St. Patrick's dinner, will go to Florida tomorrow for a brief rest. Meantime he will refrain from answering the many attacks on his candidacy from within and from outside the party. It is expected that, on his return from the South, he will start upon an intensive campaign in behalf of his Senatorial ambitions, and that at that time he win launch some savage attacks against elements that are opposing him within the organization. ASKS FOR PASSPORTS CHAMBERSBURG, March 17.

Professor Holland, head of the music department at Mercersburg Academy, through the prothonotary'3 office ot the local courthouse petitioned fof passport papers yesterday. Profes. sor Holland will leave in June for a tour of Egypt. T7-E T- P5i TJrA many vicissitudes, but the people of Ireland have never forgotten their country's past or lost hope in their country's future. The port of Dun Laoghaire still bears the name of the king who ruled Ireland when our patron teacher made his way to Tara.

The sites of the houses St. Patrick knew are still well marked on the hill from which Christianity spread throughout the entire country. The Irish people in control of their own destinies are gradually evolving, social and political institutions suited to their national life. We cannot go back to the day of Tara's splendor, but there is no doubt that in the institutions which grow up in a free Ireland, the traditions of early Celtic civilization will bear lasting fruit. My message to all Irishmen abroad is that the home country is doing well and to all of them who can revisit Ireland the assurance of an enthusiastic welcome.

By WILLIAM COSGRAVE President. Irish Free State Written Specially for Universal Service DUBLIN, March St. Patrick's Day Irishmen all over the world think instinctively of their country and ask for news from home. Our news is good. Ireland is recovering from her past sufferings.

The common interests which should naturally unite all Irishmen in the service of their country, are growing stronger. The divisions which, in times past, separated our countrymen are growing less marked. Last year saw the continued development of the treaty policy. The agreement reached in London established good relations with northern Ireland, It removed by common consent possible causes of future difference with our fellow countrymen in the north and the people of Great Britain, Since the days of St. Patrick the world has seen vast changes, and our country has passed through WASHINGTON, March 17.

The conspiracy trial of Major James F. Johnson, former special counsel for the prohibition unit here, and Daniel J. Shields, representative of a Johnstown, Pa brewery company, probably will be concluded late today. The defense rested its case just before noonnd arguments of counsel followed. The men were jointly indicted for conspiracy to defraud the United States by illegal issuance of a permit for the Johnstown company to manufacture beer containing more than one and one-half of 1 per cent, of alcohol.

The case is expected to go to the criminal court jury before night. SET SHED AFIRE TO COLLECT $90 From Page One setting fire to adjoining buildings. In order to avert suspicion, he reported the fire on March 9 to State police, asking that an investigation be made. On the day following the fire, Harman presented to Walter M. Brandt, of the State Fire Bureau, a letter which he claimed to have received and contained a threat that the shed would be burned un less Harman consented to sell the property.

Brandt said the handwriting was similar to that of a hired man on the Harman farm. When questioned, the man admitted he had written the letter as dictated by Harman. The letter had been mailed from Harrisburg on March 6. It was shown at the hearing that Harman had fire insurance to taling $10,800 on farm buildings, placed with three companies. State officials said the insurance was $800 more than the value of the farm, which Harman placed at $10,000.

Harman, "after questioning by Brandt, and by William Morgan and L. D. Griffith, of the State Fire Bureau, and by the State police, made a full confession. LOCARNO GROUP LOSES FIGHT From Page One These agreements become effective only with Germany's admission. They remain in abeyance therefore until September or such time as Germany may become a League member.

"Germany's application for league membership will not be withdrawn," Stresemann said. Until the moment the postponement vote was recorded, the delegates stood by in their hotel ready to slip out of their traveling clothes and slip into formal attire for the League. Last moment negotiation had been made at 9 a. m. to, circumvent the stalemate which was preventing Germany's admission.

The council met forty-five minutes later in a final frenzied effort to dispose of the difficulties. An English secretary rushed to the German hotel to warn the delegation that there might be a reprieve. "We have been asked to remain prepared for all eventualities," Foreign Minister Stresemann then said. Final Effort Failed This final effort failed. Then the smaller powers, Switzerland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Holland and the Latin-American, countries caucused on the assembly floor to organize for battle against adjournment of Germany's admission.

Their efforts failed, too. President DaCosta of the assembly rose before the packed, quiet gathering and announced -that the business before the assembly was the admission of Germany to the League. Down front were the vacant chairs which had been placed in the assembly hall last week when the League members were happily preparing to garner the peaceful harvest of Locarno. Mello Franco, the Brazilian council member, asked for the floor and when he got it he said his government stood on its decision to veto Germany's election to the council unless Brazil were simultaneously elected to permanent membership. lie added an impassioned plea for American representation on the council.

Sir Austen Chamberlain, British foreign secretary, then mounted the tribune to announce that unless Brazil would permit Germany's election to the council it would be impossible to fulfill the promises under which Germany had been induced to apply for League membership. The blame for the impasse lay not with the Locarno signatories, Sir Austen said, and added that the Locarnoites had overcome all obstacles to reach full agreement. "Thus," continued Sir Austen, "with the moment arrived when Europe no longer is divided into two camps but is united in an effort for peace, this inability to carry out the Locarno agreements is most regretful. Nevertheless the seven signatories of Locarno are determined that their work of peace shall continue and that their carried on." Thereupon Premier Briand, of France, proposed adjournment. Sir Austen expressed the conviction which the others echoed that Germany would be admitted in September.

The German delegates in the1 Hotel Metropole listened to a radio report of the speeches of the assembly. When the motion to adjourn was put, Foreign Minister Stresemann shrugged his shoulders and said: "We can go now." With postponement of the German admission the entire problem of council seats goes over for consideration- at a later date, probably September. FINANCIAL OILS LEND FIRM TONE TO CURBS NEW YORK, March 17. Oil stocks, in both the standard and independent groups were the outstanding feature of strength in today's somewhat irregular session on the curb. Irregularity prevalent in baking stocks earlier in the session subsided to be replaced by a downward movement which caused losses of from 2 to fractions of a point.

Continental Baking which had lost a half point in the morning session continued its decline and in the afternoon was off 1 at 107 Vs. Tho stock recouped a fractional part of its losses. Land Company of Florida, which has been under pressure due to unfavorable news from the Southern state regarding realty developments continued its downward trend and was off li points to 22. This was a new low on the movement. The oil group as a whole was up.

Gains of from fractions to two points were registered in the more active issues. Little attention was paid to the public utilities which had been under fire for the last few days. Grain Market Lower CHICAGO. March 17. Grain closed irregular on the Board of Trade today.

Wheat closed fractionally off in both May deliveries but fractionally up in July and September. The undertone of the pit was unsteady. The market was featured by sharp price fluctuations. After the opening recessions temporary firmness set in in lieu of the report of higher foreign markets. This was followed by a slump.

Later losses were recovered by a rally. Cash wheat was lower in Chicago and most of the other principal points. Corn closed fractionally lower. The September delivery in this grain was fairly steady. Oats closed unchanged in the may but fractionally off in July and September.

A short lived spurt started early in the session in this pit. However most of the gains were lost before the close. Provisions closed unchanged. RAILS ACTIVITY FEATURES BONDS NEW YORK, March 17. Convertible and second grade rail issues were again active and lower on the bond market today.

The market was broader and prices tended toward irregularity. Detroit United Railway first consolidated 4V2S featured the traction list advancing five points. The city of Detroit has pledged itself to pay $500,000 to the company semi-annually for purchase of property rights within the city limits and the company in turn is obliged to deliver an equal amount in face value of per cent bonds to the city for cancellation. It probably is buying for this account that is the real basis for the advance. Local traction issues was practically unchanged.

1 Foreign issues held firm. Belgian bonds made few changes within a quarter point range. Canada 64s were up fractionally and German 7s lost a trifle. French bond3 were generally firm. U.

S. Government issues were fteady. In the rail group C. and O. con vcrtibles 6s forged ahead to 146 and then dropped to 142'i off lei from last night's close.

D. and H. convertible 6s were down 1 while Missouri Tacific 4s. gained fractionally. rmiADFxrinA rnoovr jivkret PHILADELPHIA, March IT.

WELL MARKED By ALICE A. GRAY DON 1709 North Second Street WITHIN the deep and shady glen, Where lads and lassies walk, And 'cross the fields and by the burn, Where'er they sit to talk, There winds a path all shorn and bare, By all so plainly seen; It marks the lovers trysting place, This of the green." TODAY, Wednesday, March 17, is the day that every Irishman win proudly display a shamrock on his lapel. We all know they are wearing shamrocks in honor of Ireland's patron saint St. Patrick but why shamrock Here's the story which has long been told and has long been ac cepted as true: When St. Patrick preached Christianity to the pagan Irish he had difficulty in making them grasp the doctrine of the Trinity three Persons in one God.

ANCIENT EMBLEM yilEN he inspired to show them a piece of shamrock, or trefoil, I with its three leaves on one stalk. That simple illustration from nature availed, and from that time the beginning of the fifth century the shamrock became something to be worn in honor of St. Patrick. It has taken its place with other national emblems. St.

Patrick himself, although the Apostle of the Irish, was not an Irishman. Some would claim him as a Scotsman, but it seems established that he was of Welsh parentage. His original name was and, in accordance with custom, when he was consecrated as a bishop he was given a new name-that of Patricius. CONVERTED NAMED thus, he went to Ireland and converted the Irish to Christianity. The shamrock soon gathered to itself a reputation for magic and as a remedy in disease.

Eaten in the manner of watercress it was said to allay all fevers; picked when found near a wayside and worn next to the heart, it warded off eviUspirits. If placed in a child's cradle the little one would be exempt from the ills that trouble the young. Maidens had but to pick on the leaves the name of the young man whose love they sought, pray to St. Patrick, and bury tho shamrock beneath a rosemary bush, and all would be well. ILL LUCK ILL-LUCK was destined to befall an enemy if a sprig of shamrock I pierced with his 'namo a thorn had to be used Ifor the piercing and placed in 4 his path, was trodden on by him.

It once was the custom for all boy babies born In 1 rl nn Wt fev AT Patrick's Day to wTTi 11 iMei'iMi at be named after the saint and trained for the priesthood. 18-Month Term for Man Who Admitted Having Attacked Stepdaughters Harry Behrcns, 50 years old, who pleaded guilty on Monday to having-had illicit relations with his two step-daughters, was today sentenced to eighteen months in the Dauphin County prison. Behrens resided in Lower Paxton Township, where he was engaged in farming. Seek Mrs. Bertha Taylor To Tell Her of Death A telegram was received today by the Postal Telegraph Company, of this city, addressed to Mrs.

Bertha Taylor, notifying her of the death of Frank G. Taylor, of Philadelphia, early this morning." The telegram was sent from the office of Coroner Fred Schwarz, of Philadelphia. The message did not show the relationship between the two. The telegraph company has been unable to learn the address of Mrs. Taylor.

Bra Champion Mother of All Limerick County Ireland, Wernick arnounced that thirty-five witnesses were prepared to take the stand in Marshall's behalf as soon as the defense opened its case. In addition, Wernick said, he had about 200 character witnesses for Marshall, "I have not yet decided whether to put them on the stand," he said, ''hut we will have them in court, ready, if we deem them necessary to the defendant's case," Possibility of the defense getting under way before the day's adjournment was expressed by court attaches as the session opened. PINCHOT VETOES 2 RESOLUTIONS From Page One, declining to answer any questions bearing on the' campaign. While in Philadelphia he will map out his campaign plans with Chairman Good-nough and P. S.

Stahlnecker, his private secretary, who is now in charge of the Philadelphia Pinchot headquarters. Formation of county committees is now under way, One of the joint resolutions vetoed by the Governor would have compelled the Department of Insurance to publish for the use of the public a report of the department periodically. The Governor vetoed a House bill that had the same purpose on the ground that the Department of Property and Supplies under the administrative code alone has the power to edit and publish State papers. That veto message, said the Governor, applies to the resolution as well. Would Be Absurd The other resolution not approved provided that the Pennsylvania Bankers' Association consider the question whether a codification and revision of the banking and trust cohipahy luwa is necessary and also study banking laws introduced in 1923 and at the special session this year.

The veto message points out that' the State commission to codify the banking laws has expended eight years in its work and that "it would be an absurdity for the Legislature to call Upon any association composed of the banks to be regulated by a codification" to advise the legislators. "This resolution," wrote the Governor, "is nothing more than an attempt to justify the refusal of the extraordinary session of the Legislature to take any action looking towards the further safeguarding of depositors in State bonks and trust companies and Stockholders in building and loan associations." -Favor for Barr Resolutions The resolutions approved both relate to the State's1 fiscal conditions and were sponsored by Senator Cad-wallader, Allegheny County, The one provides for the printing of 2000 copies of the statistical report Senator Barr presented on the final day of the Senate session. The figures were presented when Auditor General Kdward Martin notified the Legislature that data required by a resolution could not be prepared while the Legislature was still in session. The second resolution approved provides that the Auditor General may secure from the various departments such information as he needs to comply with the request of the resolution asking 'for a financial It wrs stated on the floor of the Senate that to compile this would coct the State 5,000 to 820,000. The Governor said in his message of approval that he does not believe additional authority is needed to enable the fiscal officer to get what information he wants, but he approved the resohition because he "desires to interpose ho obstacle to the dissemination of any information which the Auditor General may prepare with respect to the financial condition of the Commonwealth;" Nitro-Glycerine Explodes, Blows Off Youth's Head Bv Vnittit Frttt TIOKESTA, March 17.

Law-rence Walters, 18, was instantly killed when a small quantity of nitroglycerine with which he was blowing out stumps on his father's farm at Kellettville, exploded. The accident which occurred late yesterday resulted in the boy's head being blown off. The body was found ninety feet from the spot where the youth had tried to pour the- explosive from a can into a bottle. Immigrant to America STRIKESHERE AND THERE HA I TV I an nm av 1 CEOTIPENNSmANIA NEW YORK, March 17. Mrs.

Sarah McKessy, 45, mother of twenty-one children, of whom sixteen are living, arrived here yesterday on the Cunardcr Aurania. She brought ten of her flock, left two in Ireland and was ruet by the remaining four, who preceded her to America. Thoy will make their home in New York. Buried in the McKessy plot in Ireland are the five others, who died in their Infancy. The champion mother of Limerick County, as she is known by her neighbors, is a pretty little blue-eyed woman and looks younger than her given age.

On of her small sons explained the beauty of his mother, because "the. prettiest women in Ireland always come from Limerick." The oldest of the children 6he brought is Johanna, 16, and the youngest, Cecelia, 3.
