Should Be Increased.
UNITED PRESS InAsnD wIRn.l

London, Jan. ga quarrel between
Chancellor of the Exchequer David
Lloyd George and First Lord Of the
Admiralty Winston Churchill over ex-
penditures on the British navy today
threatened to disrupt the cabinet.
Churchill, as head of the national
sea fighting establishment wants more
ships, Lloyd George, as the govern
ment's fOinancial manager, thinks the
country is spending more for war craft
already than it can afford. It was un-
derstood today that Churchill would re.
sign if his estimates were materially
reduced and Lloyd George would resign
they were not cut heavily.
A cabinet meeting was held this af.
ternoon to consider the situation but
SO far as could be learned, no decision
was reached. It was rumored that 7
ministers supported Lloyd George, 6
Churchill and that 5 were doubtful.

UNITED PRESS leased WIRE. !

MarysWlle, Cal, Jan. 22.--If the de-
fense at the murder trial of Richard
Ford, Herman Suhr, Henry Bagan and
William Beck, the accused Wheatland
hopfield rioters, can prove that any Of
the prisoners were tortured into con-
fessiOn, it will have the opportunity.
From the moment the trial opened
everyone had wondered whether the
prosecution would dare to risk opening
the question. 1t seemed necessary to
do so in order to connect the four men
with any actual shooting. On the other
hand, the moment the confessions were
mentioned the door would be open for
testimony by the defense concerning the
mann nj which they were secured.
It was agreed on all sides that, if
the defense could prove torture to have
been used, the confessions would not
only be rendered worthless but the en-
tire fabric of the prosecution case
would be badly wrecked, and inciden.

MURDER UNPROVOKED
 AND UNJUSTIFIABLE
Supreme Court Rules That Homer O'Neal Must Serve His Term in
 State Prison

Little Rock, Jan. 19.-The Supreme Court has decided that Homer O'Neal young man of Newport, must serve term in the penitentiary, to which he had been sentenced by the Jackson circuit court, on a conviction of sec ond degree murder for the killing of man named Wilks in Newport sa- loon.
 The murder was unprovoked and wholly unjustifiable, and the only de- fense offered was insanity. Testi- mony was introduced that O'Neal had been a habitual drunkard since he was about fourteen years old, and that his mind had become diseased to the extent that he was insane, and was not criminally responsible.
 The following instruction, asked by the defense, was refused by the court. and to this exception was saved: Set tied insanity which becomes fixed an2 established as a diseased condition of the mind, produced by habitual in toxication, affects criminal responsi- bility in the same way as insanity produced by other cause"
 The Supreme Court holds: "The instruction given was really more fav- orable, in some respects, than the law 1 iustifies, but it was, we think, suffi- cient to convey to the minds of the jury the idea expressed in appellants instruction, which was refused. It told the jury. in effect, that if appel lant was insane as defined in the in- struction, and that his. reason was de- throned to the extent of making him incapable of knowing right from wrong, he would be excused from committing an unlawful killing while under the influence of intoxicants."
