RULE MONDAY ON SINCLAIR'S SENATE STORY Jury Rests as Conspiracy Trial Recesses Over Week-End. STRATEGY IS PLANNED Judge Must Decide If Oil Man’s Former Testimony Can Be Used. By HERBERT LITTLE United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Oct. 22. —With the FaU-Sinclair oil conspiracy trial in recess until Monday, the jury rested today while presiding Justice Siddons pondered admissibility of the Senate oil investigation’s testimony as evidence here. He is to announce his decision Monday. Meanwhile government and defense lawyers reviewed the panorama of events involved in the Teapot Dome lease, as presented in the first week of the trial, and planned their strategy for the bitter lega* battle next week. The government outlined its case and made three important moves, designed to show Albert B. Fall, former Secretary of Interior, ana Harry F. Sinclair conspired to defraud the United States of the rich Teapot Dome Naval Oil Reserve in Wyoming. Set Up Patriotism Defense Government witnesses have testified Fall was advised by his experts that there was not enough danger of draining the reserve to warrant leasing more than a small part of it; that Fall personally handled the leading negotiations, and that Tall did not inform his assistant secretary, who handled the petroleum business of the department, concerning the Teapot Dome Lease until four days after it was made. Defense lawyers, on the other hand, have set up a “patriotism*defense, alleging the lease was part of a plan originating in the Navy, to obtain fuel oil for battleships in exchange for the Reserves’ underground oil; they have credited Admiral J. K. Robison with carrying out the plan; and they have attacked testimony of the government’s drainage experts as unverified. To refute the charge of secrecy , a letter from Fall to the late Senator LaFollette announcing the making of the lease five days after it was executed was read. Case Barely Opened The Government’s eight witnesses so far barely have opened the case. About seventy more are under subpoena, although some of them may not be called. Then the defense probably will have thirty or forty witnesses. Justice Siddons’ deliberations this week end will result in a decision important to the case, as the Government intends, if sustained here, to introduce various statements made to the Senate oil investigating committee of 1923-24 by Sinclair and by Fall. After this question is disposed the Government intends to call L. E. Eddy and R. W. Tallman, general land office employes during Fall’s incumbency, to testify regarding status of placer claims to various parts of Teapot Reserve. Another early witness is A. W. Ambrose, former chief technologist of the Interior Department, who played an important role in the drainage part of the lease negotiations. Oil Operators to Testify Some of the oil operators who were refused information at the Interior Department about leasing Teapot Dome, will then be called. Robert W. Stewart, chairman of the board of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana, a central figure in the Continental Trading Company, out of the profits of which the Government charges Sinclair gave Fall $230,500 in Liberty Bonds a few weeks after the Teapot lesae was signed, probably will be called Wednesday or Thursday.

FRENCH LEGION LOSES6LAMOR ‘Year in Hell’ Is Ended by Desertion. Rji United Press LONDON. —All the glamor of being a member of the French Legion evaporates as soon as the recruit reaches North Africa, according to Frank Waterhouse, an Englishman who deserted from the legion and escaped back to England. His life is the legion he described as “a year in Hell.” “The pay,” he continued, “amounted to a little over a shilling a month. The heat was terrific, and the food far from appetizing though, to be fair, I must say there was plenty of it.” “Probably the thing that struck me most,” he said, “was the number of men I met in the legion who had at one time held influential positions in the world. One of the men, a Prince de Georges, said that at one time he was a ruler of Georgia ana a courier to the late Czar. He said that he had been worth nearly $75,000,000 before he had been driven out of Russia by the Bolsheviks.” Waterhouse joined the legion following the loss of $2,500 on the gambling tables at Mont Carlo.

SEES MID-WEST FARMINGSLUMP Maryland Senator Fears Apathy of Voters. Bu Times Special WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.—Returning from the Mid-West, Senator Tydings of Maryland says he is impressed with two things—one the magnitude of the problem of farm depression, and the other the apathy of mid-western voters, particularly toward the Republican party. Tydings, Democrat, spoke at the Sedalia, Mo., meeting last week at which Senator James A. Reed made what is characterized as the keynote of his campaign for the presidential nomination. “One out of 25 farms in South Dakota, the state in which President Coolidge spent - the summer, was sold for taxes in the year ending in March, 1926, one out of 48 in Missouri, and one out of 22 In lowa,” Tydings said. “Farm values in Missouri declined from three billion dollars in 1920 to two billion dollars in 1925. “These figures, without supplementary evidence I obtained, indicate that the farm depression is not endqd. It is a problem the magnitude of which will take the best thought of the nation to solve, and one law will by no means solve it. “The figures, taken from the statistics of the Coolidge • administration’s agricultural department, indicate that the boasted prosperity outlined by the president is a false prosperity, in which the one-third or our people living on farms do not share.” AUTOS END TWO LIVES Accidents Occur Within Few Minutes at Bristol, Ind.

Sad-Eyed Pacifist Goes to War for Ideals; Fights for Nicaragua Liberty

13V WEA Service NEW YORK, Oct 22.—He detests war like the most avid pacifist. Yet ideals of liberty have cast Gen. Jose Mario Moncado into the role of one of the njest picturesque soldiers of Central America. Which may account for about the saddest pair of eyes you may ever expect to look upon—the appearance of one who has suffered spiritual hurt so often at the hands of injustice that he has turned stoic. Who He Is General Moncado, in case his name is unfamiliar, is the liberal leader of Nicaragua. At the age of 56, or thereabouts, he led the troops of Sacasa against Diaz in the recent revolution, with a fine chance of winning, some say, had the American Marines not interfered. There is nothing of the “soldier of fortune” about him. At the very term he winces a bit. He will tell you quickly, and in his kindly fashion, that he has never been a “soldier of fortune/’ but one who has waged perpetual battle against tyranny. Hates War "I hate war,” he avers. “I hate war as much as any living man. I do not like to fight. I wish peace and happiness for my people. But I wish fairness for them, too, and a real liberty; a real chance to select their leaders.” Wherefore he comes to America to confer with Henry L. Stimson, who was sent by President Coolidge as an envoy extraordinary to the revolution-tom little country, and with other statesmen on the question of an electoral law that will allow a free ballot at the next Nicaraguan election. If such a balloting system can be achieved “there will be a liberal president

Hu TIE A Service WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.—Predatory animals, which have been causing enormous losses among livestock in Alaska, are being hunted by the Government. R. K. Stewart of the biological survey has been detailed to Alaska to direct the war on dangerous animals, particularly wolves and coyotes. Game commissioners, forest rangers and trappers working independently will cooperate in the drive. Coyotes, bob-cats and wolves annually cause thousands of dollars loss to stockmen, not to mention their depredations on wild game and birds. With the territory bearing all expenses for traps, poison and other supplies, and with the large bounty paid for pelts, the hunt will prove profitable to many a trapper.

Then the Marines landed, the revolt broke up, Sacasa went to Guatamala to take up his medical practice once more and Diaz ascended to power. General Moncado wasts no love on Diaz. But he does not resent the presence of the American Marines. In fact, he says, he personally asked that they be sent, in for the election of 1923. Wants Real Election “So we are in the same position now we would have been four years ago.” said the general. “The presence of the Marine is not antipathetic to our purpose. “We want a sense of security and peace and we want an election where the people will really be allowed to express themselves. Then the liberals will win. “It is better than this continual fighting, and President Coolidge has given assurance that the American Government and its representatives will take no sides. Which is just what we want. Promises Cooperation “Meanwhile we will cooperate with America and will not be unfriendly. I personally think the Marines are not being resented by my people. Certainly I am not antagonistic.” Beneral Moncada was once exiled from Nicaragua for writing against tyranny and again for participation in the revolt against Zelaya. “But they cannot keep me away. I love my country and people too well,” he says.

PREDICTS NEW DOCTOR DEATH ARREST SOON Widow-Beach Lawyer Says ‘Real Culprit’ in Crime Is Known. By United Press MAYS LANDING, N. J., Oct. 22. A pre-trial debate between opposing counsel for State and* defense Friday revived interest in the Lilliendahl case which had tended to wane since the announcement that Mrs. Margaret Lilliendahl and her neighbor, Willis Beach, would not go to court until Nov. 28. But with the assertion of Charles M. Phillips, one of the attorneys who will defend the widow and Beach on the charge of murdering the aged Dr. William Lilliendahl, that imminent arrest of “the real slayers” might be expected, things brightened up. “We have at least two witnesses who can establish the innocence of Mrs. Lillliendahl,” Phillips said. “But we expect to do more than that. We expect to locate, arrest and punish the guilty.” S. Cameron Hinkle, assistant county prosecutorin charge of the case, was scornful. "If any more arrests are expected, I assure you I don’t know anything about them.

NEED SEEN FOR 40-HOUR WEEK BY LABOR HEAD Green Says Shorter Time Means Increase in Production. BY MAX STERN SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 22.—The machine age demands the five-day week for labor, says President William Green of the American Federation of Labor, here for a short visit. Since the Detroit convention the federation has set itself the goal of the 40-hour week, particularly in the highly mechanized Industrie* of mining, construction, automobile, garment making and textiles. Manufacturers Oppose The federation arguments are based not only on humane grounds, but on studies in efficiency which reveal the maximum of productivity in the monotonous machine industries is reached with the shorter week. Yet these arguments have aroused the National Association of Manufacturers to a bitter propaganda of objection. "The militant manufacturse’ arguments against the five-day week are amazingly like those offered a century ago by employers fighting the 10-hour day,” said the labor chief. “They’re based on the wrong assumption that labor wishes to curtail production. On the * contrary, labor realizes that permanent progress must rest on increased output. Sees Output Increase “Layout, machinery and mechanical power have been geared to a pace based on human labor for an eight-hour day. If performance must mesh into a higher gear the work period obviously must be shortened. “Reasoning from past experience, the output will be increased. Individual wages should increase with productivity, but this does not necessarily result in higher production costs per unit; nor does the shorter week so result." Green says that scientific experiments in England reveal the maximum efficiency of the human machine is reached with the 40hour week. Studies of women turning fuse-bodies in munition plants showed that when working 66 hours a week the women turned 100 units per hour; 54 hours, 134 units- 45 hours, 158 units. Cites England’!* Success In the tinplate factories of South Wales reduction from eight to six hours a day brought increases of 4.7 per cent to 10.6 per cent. In another factory reducing the hours from eight to four a cay brought an increased production of 115 ner per cent. Green said the five-day week Is in effect in the garment industry and in the repair shops of some iailways, and that here also the Industries gain. p^n - Gre ™ says, also answen the problem of seasonal fluctuation m employment. j "It is plain.” Green said. “thaP SZ n standpolnt of national ana , pro^ess the shorter work period is a desirable goal.”
