LIONS' CLOU TO
BUILD JUVENILE
ATHLETIC FIELD
Will Establish, Equip and
Maintain Playground at
Brackenridge.
PLOT HAS BEEN CHOSEN
Will Bring Ukranian Chorus
Here to Start
Fund.
Lions Club of San Antonio has un
dertaken as a definite objective, the es
tablishment, equipment and maintenance
of a Juvenile Athletic field for the free
use of the youth of San Antonio.
It is proposed to install baseball dia
monds, tennis courts, basketball and
such other games as the limit- of the
ground will permit.
. Kay Lambert, park commissioner, has
placed at the disposition of the clnb,
a strip of (round lying between first
and second entrances to Brackenridge
park and between River Avenue and the
ditch along link No. 1 of golf course.
A liberal expenditure of money will
be required and as a means of augment
ing the fund to be used for the pur
pose, Lions Club is bringing to the city
Msv Robinoffs Ukrainian National
Chorus and will present this organiza
tion at Beethoven Hall January 27 at
8:15 p. m.
Alexander Koshetz. Cossack conductor
directs a chorus of human voices that
is like a sympony orchestra in its re
•ponse to its leader. Prof. Alexander
Koshetz will lead the unique organiza
tion of Slavic singers when they appear
in San Antonio. ,
Veritable Human Orchestra.
The chorus, trained and directed by
Koshetz, sings entirely without accom
paniment. It is a veritable human or
chestra, in which all the shadings and I
nuances of orchestration are achieved,
with an ease that is little less than
astounding, and that has created "some
thing new under the sun.”
"Seldom, if ever, have we heard a
ehorus so musically controlled," writes
the Boston Herald. "Home if the most
amazing and beautiful singing beard
here in the memory of a middle-aged
man," says the New York Sun,’ while
AV. J. Henderson in the New York
Herald writes. "The sound and gradua
tions were those of remarkable body
of strings and wood winds.”
It is to Alexander Koshetz, then,
that the artistic credit for this unique
achievement belongs. Without a baton,
and with his two expressive hands, this
composer-conductor stands forth upon a
dais before his picturesque (mup of
forty singers—clad in their native dress
and with the first downward movement
of his arms transforms them into wbat
Europe, and now America is variously
calling a "A human symphony orches
tra," a "Human pipe organ.”
Expect Support of J*ublic.
From the slender reed-like murmur
of a soprano to the thunderous roar
of the basses, the chorus is instinct with

CLOSING ARGUMENTS
HEARD IN TRIAL OF
GIRL FOR MURDER
Defense Attorney’s Plea
Brings Tears to Eyes of
Women Jurors.
Seattle, Waah.. Jan. 13. — Whether
Clara Skaring, 20 and comely, shot
and killed Ferdinand Hochbrunn, aged
and wealthy real estate man, in his
home here October 13. 1921, in self
defense, as she contends, or whether, as
the state chargee, she took his life to
acquire his estate, was expected today
to be by night a matter for the jury
to decide
Miss Skarin, who was Hochbrunn's
ward, has been on trial in Superior
Court all week on the charge of first
degree murder.
After arguments yesterday by the de
fense that made the four women on the
jury weep, and by the prosecution that
caused Miss Skarin to writhe in her
chair, closing efforts for the pris
oner and for the state remained to be
heard today.
The jury was instructed yesterday by
Judge Gilliam that it could find Miss
Skarin guilty of murder in the first
degree in which ease it must choose
death or life imprisonment as the pen
alty, or of murder in the second de
gree or could acquit her.
BELIEVE MINER DEAD
Rescue Crews Hold No Hopes for En
tombed Worker.
Vincennes. Ind.. Jan. 13.—Members
of nine rescue teams early today were
forced to abandon their search for
Thomas Kenney, who wax entrapped in
American Mine Number 1. near here,
following nn explosion which resulted
in the death of Pete Daugherty and the
serious injury of John Brennnn. an
nounced it was doubtful whether they
would be able to re-enter the shaft be
cause of the strong gas fumes. AU
hope of finding Kenney alive, has been
abandoned, they assert.
The explosion which wan caused when
a “windy shot" was set off near a ga«
pocket, occurred late in the evening
when most of the miners had quit work.
Had it happen’d an hour earlier several
hundred miners might have been trnp
pd. Only five men were caught, two
of whom were able to make their way
out.
Mine rescue crews have been unable
to get near enough to the compartment
of the mine to determine the extent of
the fire, because of the gas in that sec
tion. Mine officials could give no esti
mate of the loss.

ROBINSON JURY
STANDS 11 TOl
FOR ACOUITTAL
One Juror Doesn’t “Believe
in Law of Self-de
fense.”
SO JUDGE IS TOLD
Reluctant Member “Can’t
See Right and Wrong
of It.”
Laredo, Tex., Jan. 13.—After nearly
30 hours deliberation the jury in the
trial of Frank Robinson and three de
fendants charged with the murder of
Fred Roberts in Nueces county last
October, had failed to reach an agree
ment at 9 o'clock Friday night. Re
liable reports from the jury room indi
cated that the twelve men now stand
eleven for acquittal and one for con
viction. Some officials express the be
lief that the jury is hopelessly dead
locked.
Following a request at 9 o'clock Fri
day morning thnt the jury wanted to
have certain evidence read to it and
then a cancellation of this request, Judge
J. F. Mullally received a second request
for information Friday afternoon. He
had the jury brought into the court
room.
“Your honor." Joseph Netzer, fore
man of the jury. said, “the character
of this jury indicates that we cannot
come to an agreement: particularly one
juror doesnY believe in the law of self
defense."
Mr. Netzer then beckoned to the juror
in question, A. C. Mudd, to make his
views known to the judge. Mr. Mqdrl
approached the bench reluctantly and
started speaking in a low one.
“Speak out so the jury can hear
you.” Judge Mullally admonished him,
explaining that tnere were only certain
points of law that he could furnish
information to the jury on at that
time.
“I can't see the right and wrong of
it," Mudd faltered.
Judge Mullally ordered the jury taken
back for further deliberation.
As the jury got up to file out one
juror remarked. “There are three oth
ers." Another juror said “That's all
right, we’ll nettle that upstairs."
T.ater it was reported that all but
one man had agreed to an acquittal.
YOUNG GIRL SEES
MOB TAKE MOTHER
AWAY TO BE BEATEN
Hair Slashed Off by Gang
Dressed as Women and
Clowns.
Houston. Tex., Jan. 13.—Aided by
year-old Bonnie Lee Harrison, said
have seen a mob of fifteen or more d
guised men drag her mother from home,
cut off her long hair and whip her,
authorities expected today to come out
in the open with their investigation.
The alleged whipping was admin
istered to Mrs. R. H. Harrison, 30, a
widow, the night of January 5, she ad
mitted to officers, but, had been kept
secret until Friday, when rumors were
circulated. Besides the widow a man,
said to have been R. A. Armand. 28, of
Middletown, Tex- , was taken out by
the disguised mob. it wax said.
The child was the first to see the mob
members, one of whom knocked on the
door of the Harrison hojne at Goose
Creek, an oil town, 35 miles southeast
of Houston, about 9 p. m. She told
her mother that the caller was dressed
"in all white.” Later, the victims of
the mob told how two of its members
wore the garb of women, although ob
viously they were men. while others
were dressed ss circus clowns, comedians
and other odd characters.
Mrs. Harrison, when interviewed by.
newspaper men, refused to describe the
alleged assailants other than to say
thev were disguised. Aruand also
failed to throw light on identity of the
fifteen or more men.
At least one of the mob members Is
expected to be identified by the little
girl. She told Deputy Sheriff Hamilton
she would know one of them.
Efforts to elicit information from Ar
mand brought a variety of answers,
none of which seemed to throw light
on the affair. He is confined to a bed
in a rooming house at Middletown, bis
back lacerated by many lashes.
Armand said that he went to the
widow’s home only a few minutes be
fore the mob arrived. He carried fruit
to her. he said, because she had been ill
several days.
The widow confirmed Armand's story
of how he happened to be at the house
when the mob filed in. Both said that
mob members held revolvers in their
hands and ordered the widow and her
visitor into automobiles, which took
them to an ope” field.
The punishment received by both was
evidenced bv welts from what appeared
to be a strap about three inches wide.
Sheriff T. A. Rinford, who is xaid
to had endorsement of the Ku Klux
Klan at the election last fall, denied
that the klan had anything to do with
the affair.

peat cutters in Gerum Fen near Skara.

two brothers. The letter was in a
woman's handwriting-
At the Clay hearing. Miss Boucher
