Dir. Noboiu Ishida Goes to Trial
on Charge of Numbering COL
league and Enters Plea Of
Insanity.


Baltimore, Md, March 1.-THE
opening day of the trial of DR.. No
boiu lshida, Japanese psychatrist,
charged with killing DR.. George b.
Wolf, resident physician of the Shep-
pard Pratt hospital, at which the lap
anese was also engaged in specialz-
ing on mental diseases, attracted a
number of prominent alienists and
other medical mon who are greatly
interested in the remarkable case, the
accused having entered a pea of not
guilty on the ground of insanity,
The state presented its case today
and attempted to prove that the act
was brought on by disordered emo
tions, principally Jealousy over girl
nurse of the institution, States Attor-
ney Hartman sought to prove that the
shooting of Wolff was premeditated.
A statement which Deputy Sheriff
Hiram Brown testified Or. lshida had
given him was admitted in evidence
for the state and was in part as fol-
lows:
"Dr, Wolff tried to make people in
the hospital believe that am a spy
while / am a doctor. and he succeed
ed in getting girl, whom | liked, to
believe that | am spy, which was
discovered. He is jealous of me about
this girl and after he exhausted his
tricks to let her misunderstood me,
at last assaulted her against her Will,
SO I made this act for the honor OF
both nations and the GIRL
DR.. T. Matsumator, sent by the Jap
anese government to Phipps Clinic OF
Johns Hopkins hospital, testified that
DR.. Ishida was married and had a
wife and two children in Japan. On
cross s-examinatior DR.. Matsumator
said Ishida visited him four days be-
fore the shooting, and that he COM
planned of being prosecuted by DR..
Wolff but that Dr.. Wolff would soon
be discharged. DR.. Edward Brush,
superintendent of the Sheppard Pratt
hospital, in his testimony told of taxi
ing the revolver from Ishda after the
shootingand Of the accusey saying ne
had shot Dr. Wolff because he had
called him . spy. DR.. Brush further
stated that lshida had complained to
him that Wolff watched him and
Stared at him. Asked II Ishida had
ever spoken of Dr.. Wolff assaulting a
nurse. DR.. Brush said that he posi-
tively had not He said he would
have sent the Japanese away at once
had he even made such an accusation,
for he knew Wolff to be gentleman
in every respect.
The nurse to whom DR.. Ishida re-
ferred Is expected TO take the stand
tomorrow.

NEW AIRPLANE

(Snepial IA hla DeSpatchl

London, March 17.-It is under
stood that experiments with an ap-
paratus destined to be embodied in
helicoper airplane are being con-
Quoted secretly by authorities near
this city The helicopter is a type of
airplane which is capable of rising
and descending vertically without
putting its nose up and able to
hover in the air. Orville Wright de-
scribed it as "a flying machine sus-
tanned by one or ynore air screws
turning on vertical axes"
Experts who witnessed the expert
msnts say there is good reason to
hope that an airplane completed on
the lines of the experiments would
not only rise straight up, but also
would be able to alight on housetops
or even on barges.
An aeronautical authority told a
representative of the London Daily
Mail that, if perfected, the helicop-
ter will be the greatest step yet
made toward complete mastery of
the air with a heavier-th -than-air ma
chine.
"Extens We experiments with the
helicopter," he said, "are successes.
Since the war many notable British
aeronautical engineers, at first scep-
teal, have turned their attention to
the problem. which is now well on
the way to being solved"
Gen. Seeley, on behalf Of the air
ministry. told the house of commons
today that speed far beyond any yet
obtained by aircraft is claimed by
sponsors for a new type which is be-
ing investigated

GLASS REQUESTS r
s3,000,00O FROM
WILSON WAR CHEST
Secretary Wants Fund to Pay
Operating Expense of War
Risk Bureau Until Congress
Can Assemble,
10y soRsiNe IouRsAL spEerA. LEASED w,ssr

Washington, March l7,-Secretary
Glass has asked Pres dent Wilson to
set aside more than $4,000, zoe from
the presidential war emergency fund
to cover the cost of continued opera
ton of the war risk insurance bureau
for the next few months until congress
can remedy its recent. failure to ap-
propriate funds for the bureau. The
president has not yet given an answer
and If he does not make the money
available, the activities of the war risk
bureau may be greatly curtailed.
II was officially stated today that
the bureau has funds to cover allot-
ment and allowance checks to be sent
out during the remainder of March
and during April. This really means
March allowances, since the checks
are distributed one month late. I'm
less some available funds are found
by early in May. allotment and allow
ance checks may be greatly delayed.
The funds asked of the president
would be speht only for administra-
tive expenses of physical operations
of the bureau and not for actual COW
ering of allotment and allowance
checks. With approximately $4,000
employees the bureaus payroll now IS
more than $l,000,000 month.
About 100000 checks for allotments,
allowances, insurance and compensa-
ton now are mailed monthly amount
ing in the aggregate to more than
$40, 100000 Nearly half of this sum
comes from the war department and
represents soldier5' allotments. There
is no shortage in the funds for allot-
ments since this is deducted from SOL
diers' pay but the funds available for
allowances added to the allotments
are limited.
Secretary Glass explained today that
although he has not specifically rec
commended early convening of con-
gress to deal with this situation, he
has presented certain facts in re-
gard to the governments financial sit
uation from which the president maS
make his own deductions. In this
connection it was learned today that
other cabinet members have cabled
the president reports of serious con-
ditions in their respective depart
ments caused by failure of congress
to appropriate funds
