WOMAN ON TRIAL
FOR LIFE BECOMES
VERY HISTORICAL
Adjournment of Court Is
Taken When Defendant
Collapses Oh Hearing
COunseps Defense

Newark, N. j., December 6.-The hys-
terra and collapse of Mrs. Margaret
Beutinger, undergoing her second trial
here on the charge of numbering her
husband in their home at Caldwell, N. j.,
last July, brought the proceedings to a
sudden adjournment today in the midst
of the summing up of her counsel, Robert
H. Carter. He was describing geographic
cally the brutality as brought out in evil
dence of the woman's husband toward
her and which led her, she testified, to
shoot him in self-defense.
December has been a fateful month for
this little woman" he said. Ten years
ago this month she married Cristof
Beutinger. One year ago this month
she remarked him and here is December
again with the holly green and the kid
dies calling for her. Send her home to
them"
At this point the defendants cries in
terrupted him. 1t was necessary for
court attendants to support her as she
left the room. The court announced that
the trial would continue tomorrow morn
ing. The evidence of the day had re-
lated chiefly to abuse of Mrs. Beutinger
b. her husband.

Washington, December 6.--Creation OF
series of zones in the south in which
no cotton could be grown for period
of one year as means of checking and
extermina ting the boil weevil in this coun-
try will be proposed in a bill which Sem
ator Smith of South Carolina announced
today he soon would offer and urge for
passage. The senator proposes that the
nongrowing area shall be started in the
extreme northeastern limit of the cotton
section and gradually work southwark
and westward in a series of zones 100
miles in width each year until the en-
tire cotton growing section should have
been covered. The federal government,
the senator said, would be given the
power to police the zone to see that the
law was observed and growers and gin

the government. Experts estimated that

WILL NOT PROTEST
ENGLAND REFUSAL
TO COAL NEUTRALS
This Government Holds
That 1t Has No Remedy
Even if Shipping Is
Damaged

Washington, December Sit has been
decided that the American government
will make no general protest against the
practice of refusing bunker coal at Brit
ish ports to vessels not conserving allied
interests. States department officials feel
that the matter is one OF purely domestic
control, even though it may seriously
affect neutral shipping. Coal carried in
British ships and stored either in British
possessions or bunkers under British
lease. it is held, cannot be dlsclaimed for
neutral ships under any established prin-
ciple of international law
The great possibilities of damage to
American trade which this world wide
control of coaling stations has given to
Great Britain has led some officials to
suggest the advisability of American con-
trolled coaling stations in various parts
of the world. Such a plan would have
partments, and probably of the commerce
department. 1t may be referred to the
new shipping commission as one of the
first problems that will face that body
upon its organization.
The question is regarded as almost en-
tirciy commercial, rather than naval, and
it is assumed that if a plan to provide
American coaling stations was carried
out it would be through some semi-offi-
cial rather than through an actual gov
eminent body.
