CASE ON

Attorneys for the state at
tempted today to belittle the tes-
timony of the witnesses for the
defense in the trial of John Nc
Cormick, charged with man
slaughter In connection with the
death of Frank Peterson on
Christmas eve in front of a Pa
cific avenue restaurant.
Deputy Prosecutors Thompson
and Cramer, examining A. P.
White, tried to discredit his story
by showing it did not correspond
with that told by the witness on
the day following the killing.
Thompson inferred that A. o.
Burmeister, McCormick's attor-
ney, rehearsed the testimony
with White before the latter took
the. stand today.
Mrs. Olive Sovey, waitress of
the cafe in front of which the
fight took place, said that Mo-
Cormick had tried to quiet the
older man and had acted like q
gentleman during the affair.

the details of the baseball peace
settlement, which has not yet
been worked out, Is that the Fed

their suits against organized

believed to be holding back the
withdrawal of the suits, because
of their desire to be admitted into
the major leagues.

MODERN RIFLE PRAcTIcE1TEAcHEs
MEN TO WITHSTAND FIRE OF ENEMY

| PASADENA, Jan. 26.-"Is the
good target shot also a good shot
on the firing line? Yes. The
man who has had target praice
has confidence in his rifle and
himself"
That's w. r. Jackson's opin-
ion and Jackson was recently
awarded trophy by Governor
johnson OF California for win
ming the rifle championship of
the state militia. "A
THE main argument against
the target shot," Jackson said,
lis that In action he becomes ex-
cited and forgets what he learn
ed on the riflerange. This may
have been true In the past. But
modern rifle range practice trains
a man against this very thing. A
man must learn to fire ten shots
at a disappearing target in a
minute and q half at a range of
200 yards, and 10 shots in two
minutes and a half at a distance
of 300 yards. This necessitates
reloading once. To make your
hits you must keep your head.
Because of our unprepared-
ness we could undoubtedly be
licked In case of war;" says
Jackskon. This Is because of
our small standing army, its in
sufficient equipment and arma-
ment and concentration Of our
munitions factories on the Allan
tic seaboard where they would be
easily captured. Our country Is
filled with men who have never
had military training or seen
actual service. Every citizen
should help toward preparedness
by learning to shoot"
