Weeks. He added there wcrc omis-
sions relative to the happenings on

answered. she was not" "She did

Since the question seems to have
been built entirely from testimony of
witnesses called by the other side. it
seems that it will be necessary for US
to draft an entirely new question based

Attorney Weeks

by tho defense.

RESULTS FROM OLD
INJURY TO THE BRAIN
In answer to the last question, at
the resumption Of court, DR.. Wight
said:
IL is my opinion she was suffering
I from brain pressure duo to odcma. pro-
duccd by series of psychic shocks
received that night. in the presence Of
lack of nervous control due to u
thyroid condition, and resulting from
the old injury to the BRAIN"
In answer to cross questioning by
Weeks, Dr. Wight said he believed that
had no brain pressure existed as n
result of skull fracture. Mrs. De-
Saullcs might have been subject to
lapses OF memory In consideration Of
other causes related in the hypothetical
question.
The witness replied in the negative
when asked whether he knew of a per-
son having been committed to an in
sane asylum because OF hypothyreosis.
The noon recess was taken few
minutes later.
AT the afternoon session the district
attorney resumed his attempt to show
that Or. Wight was not qualified to
testify as an expert in cases concern
ing mental ailments or In the reading
of X-ray photographs. A lengthy
cross questioning followed, evidently
calculated to determine DR.. Wight's
familiarity with N-ray reproductions.
DR.. Smith Ely Jeliffe, whose reputa-
ton as an alienist Weeks said he would
not dispute, made the same responses
to tho three parts of the hypothetical
question as was made by DR.. Wight.
When asked what, in his opinion was
the disease from which Mrs. DeSaulles
was suffering at the time of the TRACE
dy, DR.. Jcliffe replied:
ut was an acute swelling In tho brain

WASHINGTON, November 3O.-Prep-
arations for greater governmental mid
In adjusting labor supply to war needs
were put under way to-day by the
Council of National Defense with the
of the school of commerce and admin
istration of the University of Chicago
as chief Of a newly created section on
industrial service.
Tho section will undertake prelim-
mary investigation of the increasing
number Of labor problems, and will
have four main objects:
To determine present and probable
future demand for labor in war in
dustries;
To determine, In connection with the
priorities committee Of the war indus
tries board. the relative priorities of
the labor demands:
To arrange for the supplying of the
demand through the Department of
Labor. or such other governmental or
civilian agencies as can best meet the
demands: and
To determine the needs for dilution
OF labor. including the Introduction of
women into Industry. and TO recon-
mend policies to be followed in regard
thereto.
When the facts have been estab-
lished in the case of labor shortage
handicappins any line OF industry, the
council will look to representatives of
the workers TO supply available men.
NEW SECTION TO HAVE
NO EXECUTIVE POWER
The section on industrial service will
have functions comparable to the duties
Of the war industries board. and will
bring to the defense council digested
information from all government de-
partments regarding labor questions,
but Will not have power to take
executive action.
Everything suggestive OF coercion or
conscription of labor apparently is be-
ing avoided by the council. Employ
ment agencies of the Department of
Labor, in successful operation for a
long time, will be utilized in obtaining
workers, but otherwise 1t is expected
that representatives of the workers
themselves will be relied on to recruit
the civilian army needed to back up
the fighting men.

portancc in the Lansdowne letter Is
the apparent reputation Of the aims
OF the British political and commercial
iinperialism--thc humiliation of Ger
many as a nation, the imposition Of a
ne" government upon her people and
the exclusion OF Germany after the war
from the benefits OF FREQ intercourse
IN the rest Of the world.
HOW GERMAN PEOPLE
MUST BE CONVERTED
While the elimination of the present
tethdh government Is not expressed in
the Lansdowne letter, it is considered
u higher quarters here to be implied
IN his assertion that the allies will
not impose government distastcful 10
the German people. The quotation given
above from an American Cabinet officer
indicates how the German people must
be converted
nat tonight was regarded as by
tar the most important position as
sufned by Lansdownc is his admission
mat the freedom OF the seas Is omen TO
discussion. This Is regarded here not
as an admission that the German sub
marine campaign is right II is gen
orally conceded that no Englishman car
allow this. IT is rather looked upon as
possible admission by an old Tory
leader that britannia in the interests
~ ihtci ia tioHal DeaCe1uI organization
after The war, will be willing to admi.
that she does not rule the seas"
This, the fourth proposition advanced
by Lord Lansdowne. is taken in con.
nection with his fifth. which advocat IS
a universal peace pact among the ma
tons. backed By some sort of interna.
tional organization.
1t may be stated that this Is almost
exactly the view held by a member OF
President Wilson's Cabinet who Ia mr..
pairing to work out and advocate an in
ternational naval police force after the
war.
The first three propositions uttered
by Lord Lansdowne were welcomed
here heartily. Denial that the entente
seeks German antihilation, unwilling.
ness to impose a government undesirec
by the German people and denial OF an
economic league against Germany
coming from British Tory. are regard
eo as admissions Of the vastest import

Except shipyards and railroads, it is
said. there has been no serious short
age Of workers in any of the indus
tries directly related TO military op-
erat!ons. but as the army expands, and
with it the need for munitions and
subsistence supplies. it is expected that
many factories will need hundreds of
additional men.
At the same time. unemployment is
expected to result in other lines OF
work not essential to the conduct of
the war. and which will be forced to
curtail production of lack of materials
and less purchasing of nonessentials by
the public. 1t will be the task of the
section on industrial service. aided by
union officials, to adjust the need for
men to the men needing work.

READING OF LONG QUESTION
BEGINS WHEN COURT OPENS
Reading of the 15.ooO-word hypo-
thetical question by attorneys for tho
defense was begun at the opening of
court.
1t began: Assume, doctor. that
Blanca Errazuriz DeSaulles was born
near Santiago. Chile, April 80. 1884,"
Continuing, It tells OF the fail sus-
tanned when child in which she is
said to have received severe injuries
to her head; the three years spent in
an English convent; her meeting De-
Saulles on her return to Chile; of their
marriage; their marital difficulties; the
automobile accident in Chile few
years ago IN which Mrs. DeSaulles al
legcs she received further injuries to
her head; the divorce. and. finally. q
resume OF the defense's version of the
tragedy.
1t concludes in these words:
Assuming the foregoing facts. and
having in mind your personal examina-
ton Of the defendant in your opinion,
was the defendant mentally sound at
the time of the shooting on August 3,
1917?
Assuming all tho foregoing facts
and having in mind your personal cx :
<lAFa
opinion, did the defendant know the
nature and quality Of the act sho was
committing!
Assuming all the foregoing facts and
having in mind your personal examina-
ton of the defendant, In your opinion
did the defendant know that the act
was wrong?"
1t was learned from District Attorney
Weeks that, because of radical diff
ferenccs which he says exist in the
defense's question as compared with
the testimony. an entirely new hypo-
thctical question may be put to the
experts in support OF the Prosecutions
case.
