MISS ST TOb DEVOTE LIFE TO ILL HUMANITY Woman Freed of Slaying Kin kead Kisses Attorney and Friends in Court. NEW YORK, April 7.-Freed jury of the charge of killing Ve Guy Kinkead, former cor counsel of Cincinnati, Ova .P. Stone declared today she would devote the remainder of her life to the "srvice of hu knanity" in her chosen profession, sursing. Crowd Liked Verdict. "I can hardly breathe for my great happiness," she said. Expecting to be reinstated in the Graduate Nurse Association, Mis Stone plans to return to Cincin nati and enter the Cincinnati Gen eral Hospital. "Not guilty, your -," was as far as the foreman of the jury could go when he was stopped by tumultuous shouting. The cry was taken up by the huge crowd out, side the court room. Miss Stone at first was motion less. Then she sprang up, kissed her attorney, Edward J. Reilly, and grasped the hands of well wish ers who surged forward. When order was restored, Justice Aspinall officially proclaimed the woman free. Crowds of men and women surged about her and cheered and clapped as she threw kisses at them while withdrawing from the court house. Last night, for the first time since she was locked up in jail last August 5, Miss Stone slept in a "real bed, in a real room with real Comforts." "I'm the happiest woman in the world," said Miss Stone 'today. I'm a free woman at last. At last the suspense is over. I can go where I please. I only know that it's a good world after all and that God Is just." The defendant. In contrast to her highly nervous condition through out the trial, received the verdict calmly. When the verdict was announced. Justice Aspinall said: "The laws of the State of New York provide In all criminal actions the jurors are the sole judges of the fact of the crime. The jurors must receive the law from the court and apply it to the facts. You accepted this law and applied it to the fact and under your oath of office as ex clusive judges you have found this defendant not guilty of murder in the first degree. This court must bow to your wishes and accept your verdict. You have performed a great duty. Justice Aspinall then turned to Miss Stone and asked her to stand Up. "Miss Stone." he said. "you have been accorded a fair and impartial trial. I have endeavored to hold the scales of justice equally balanced between you and the people of this State. Twelve reputable citizens have said you are not guilty under the law. I, therefore, discharge you and you are now a free woman." Miss Stone was led to an ante room by her attorney and two matrons of the Raymond street jail. She looked ten years younger than she did when she appeared on the witness stand a few days before. Women spectators in the courtroom showered her with flowers. GENERAL FRIES PREDICTS WIDER USE OF WAR GAS BIRMINGHAM. Ala.. April 7. Gas warfare is more humane than fighting with explosive weapons and fewer permanent casualties result from chemical wounds than from shot and shell. acccording to the opinion expressed today by Brig. Gen. Amos A. Fries, head of the chemical warfar'e service of the United States army. who is here attending ses~sions of the American1 Chemical Society. General Fries predicted that the use of gas would become more general and that tear gas would eventually be placed in all bank vaults and every police depart mnent would have a gas brigade for use in the capture of criminals. The use of submarine and gas warfare is not seriously interfered with by the Washington arms con ference treaties, he declared. MOTHER LOCATES SON AFTER 20-YEAR SEARCH OTTAWA, Ontario.

Ala., April 7. Wed at twelve to an armny officer, divorced at thirteen, a movie star at fourteen and fifteen and at six teen a beauty in the finest of choruses-that of Fid Ziegfeld's "Follies." And that Is only part of the life of Peggy Davis, known to Birming, ham, where she spent her young girlhood, "a Margaret Laird, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. 0. Laird, of this city. For at the ten der age of seven she was appearing in amateur plays and at eleven she was an accomplished ballet dancer. And now Peggy, just seventeen, is starring in another role-that of one wife in the career of an al leged bigamist-her latest husband. Peggy was married here at twelve to Col. Jasper Alexander Davies of the United States army, but they were divorced when she was another year older. Peggy's matrimonial capers have created a sensation here where she is remembered as a child. Reports current that when the erstwhile movie and musical com edy star recovers from her present illness and leaves the hospital, where she was placed by her second hus band, she would return to her child hrd home here to seek annulment of her marriage to Grafton were dis. counted by the oponion of court offi cials that she would be unable legal ly to file such proceedings in Ala. hama on account of continued non, residence. Peggy met her first husband iv New York while on a trip to tha city with her mother. Peggy's father, in seeking to an nul the marriage, charged in an affidavit that his daughter had been forced into the match by hei mother and that Colonel Davies had a wife living in Texas. Colonel Dlavies did not contest the suit and the annulment was granted. Peggy dropped from local vie's shortly afterward, reappearing tc startle Birmingham when her mother charged Joseph Donald Grafton, son of a Pittsburgh mi lionaire, with having married an other wife besides Peggy.

NEW YORK. April 7.--William H. Anderson, State president of the Anti-Saloon League. tday branded "the gurgle of an organized ape tit" the formation of & New York division of the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment. "This organization," declared An derson. "demands personal liberty for everyone except the prohibition lots who happen to be in a large majority In this country. The speakers at the meeting of the association against the prohibition amendment, held last night in Car negie Hall, said that a minority of 139.000 persons, whom they branded as intellectual blackmailers, had put over the prohibition amendment. I should like to point out that the Alive Citizens of America, an organt sation to uphold the American ideals and the American Constitution. In cluding the Eighteenth amendment. has a membership of 250,000 in New York State alone. "The organization against prohibi tion is entitled to our thanks. If their ridiculous claim that prohibi tion was put over by a minority were true it would constitute the best possible argument in favor of prohibition in that it would concede that a minority sober is too much for a majority drunk." Stuyvesant Fish presided at last night's meeting. There were about 3.000 men and women present.
