SENATE DELAYS ACTION
"Red Light" Bill Called Up,
But Senator Reed En-
tiers Protest.

Senator Curtis of Kansas made an ef-
fort today to have the Senate pass inn
mediately the Kenyon bill, aimed to wipe
out the red light districts in the Ma
tional Capital. A protest by Senator
Reed of Missouri prevented action.
The approval of the bill by the Senate
District committee was reported to the
Senate by Senator Curtis soon after the
upper house went in session this after
noon and. pleading that the matter was
important. he asked immediate action.
Senator Reed protested that he had re-
ceived several communications about the
bill and declared that the statements
made in them needed investigation. He
therefore asked that action by the Sen
ate be delayed until he had an oppor-
tunity to look into the facts.
Senator Curtis pointed out that the sub
committee of the Senate District commit
tee had made an investigation and that
the full committee, after that inquiry
had given it's unanimous approval to the
measure. Out of senatorial courtesy
however Mr.. Curtis agreed to let action
be postponed for few days.

Statement of Defense's Counsel.

The written statement submitted by
counsel for the defense reads:
Counsel regret that their conception
of the rights of the defendant compel
them to adopt a course which may pos
Sibly be al variance with the views or
wishes of the court: but we believe
that the accused cannot legally be
tried by "A jury for the reason that.
after voluntarily rendering a plea of
guilty, there is no issue to be tried.
We, therefore, at this time, object to
any further proceedings in this cause.
except the imposition of the sentence
upon that plea.
For the reasons here stated, and in
order TO avoid the risk of waving any
OF the rights of the accused which have
accrued TO him by reason OF his plea of
guilty. counsel will not actively partci-
pate in the proceedings about to be had.
further than to interpose seasonable OBJ
jections to further proceedings from time
tn time as the need therefor may appear.
II the court desires to have the jurors
examined and the witnesses cross-eXam-
ined. we shall be happy to perform that
duty for the court and in the name of the
court, and not on behalf of the accused.
IL the court desires us to perform that
duty. we request that an order be passed
directing US SO 10 do, and that the order
and this objection may be made Il part
of the record.

Courtroom Is Crowded.

Every seat in Criminal Court No 1 was
occupied when Justice Stafford convened
court this morning. Many would-be spec
tators crowded the corridors and peered
into the open windows Of the courtroom
from the portico in front Of the city hall
AS soon as the prisoner had been brought
into court. his counsel, Attorneys George
II. Macdonald and Benjamin l.. Gaskins,
objected to proceeding with the trial. AS
counsel started to read the reasons for
objection. Justice Stafford interfered and
suggested that no statement be made in
the presence of the jury. Attorney Mac
donald then handed the court q written
account OF the position taken by the de-
Tense.
Attorneys on both sides conducted q
lengthy discussion at the bench on the
question raised by the defense that as
Green had already pleaded guilty there
was no issue TO be tried by jury. JUS
lice Stafford overruled the objection and
directed the trial to proceed Counsel
for the defense had asked the court TO
make order directing them to con-
tinue their appearance for the court and
IN name of the court and not on behalf
Of the accused" Justice Stafford de-
clined to make such order, as the posi-
ton taken by counsel did not amount to
a withdrawal from the case. and the
court was not at liberty to advise coun-
sci as TO the method to be pursued by
counsel.
