Defense Of New May Be Based On
 Suicide Theory
Republican A. p. Leased Wire]

LOS ANGELES, Calf. July g. - Firm belief that her son Harry s. New is not guilty of the murder of Miss Frieda Lesser. his fiancee, in Topango canyon last Friday night, was eX- pressed late today by Mrs. Lulu Burger upon her arrival from Indianapolis Mrs. Burger was said to be upon the verge of a nervous collapse and upon the advice of her physician did not visit her son in the city jail but com municated with him through his at torney.
 Temporary insanity will be News defense, according to his counsel. That the theory that Miss Lesser committed suicide as the only way out of her d- lemma may also be introduced by the defense, the attorney admitted.
 q am convinced that New does not know what happened from the moment Miss Lesser told him she would not marry him until he dIsg overed her dead body in the rear of the machine News confession that he killed his fiancee may well have grown from his dis covery of himself beside her." the at torney said.
 Several hundred persons sought to attend the funeral services of Miss Lesser here today. None but close friends and relatives were admitted. however.

Up to Attorney General

WASHINGTON, July 9.-While rati- fication of the peace treaty by the German national assembly at Weimar today makes possible the raising of the blockade of Germany, it will be for Attorney General Palmer to de- termine to what extent commercial relations between the United States and Germany will be resumed Should the allied and associated powers agree to lift the blockade, Attorney General Palmer will have to render an opinion as to whether provisions of the trading with the enemy act can be suspended or abrogated by executive order in ad- vance of the formal termination of the war through final exchange of ratifi- cation of the peace treaty.
 The attorney general in informal statements has declared the trading with the enemy act must continue in force until the date Of the proclamation of exchange of peace treaties, unless the president declares an earlier date
 Race for German Trade
 However, the state department real izing the importance of giving Ameri- can business interests an .advantageous position in the race for German trade, has made arrangements to have the AlliCi II du tOISuldI StTNlCe III tIeTI0dnN begin to function at the earliest pos sible moment Though American goods can be exported 10 Germany without the assistance of American consuls, under American customs laws the consul certification is necessary to the exportation of German goods to America.
 Blockade Lifts Soon
 In the opinion of officials here. the German blockade will be lifted as soon as proper arrangements can be made. It is believed that this means that there first must be received by the secre- tariat of the peace conference in Paris notice of the action taken by the Ger man assembly today and that in the case of the United States, President Wilson must issue his proclamation declaring the blockade at an end. The action of the president is said to be in no sense dependent upon the treatment of the peace treaty by the United States, for the reason that the blockade was established as a purely military measure

WAR COST UNCLE
 SAM MORE THAN
 THIRTY BILLIONS
Taxes and Other Revenues Pay Nearly g Per Cent of Total = Further Bond Is- sues Will Be Unnecessary Glass Announces
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, July g. - The war cost to the United States was $50, ,177, ,00o 900 up to June 30, 1919.
 Secretary Glass made this estI- mate today in submitting to the congressional appropriations com n1ittees the preliminary statements of the treasury on the condition of the nations finances.
 He arrives at the estimate by subtracting the average peace time expenses for the same length of time, at the rate of S1,000, ,000, 900 annually, from the total expendi- lures; s32, 2,427 ,ooo, 900 during the war.
 Taxes and other revenues than borrowed money took care Of S9,- 334 oo0,00o or about 2e per cent of the war. cost. The remainder came from Liberty bond and Victory note issues and saving stamps.
 Further issues Of bonds, MT. Glass said, will not be necessary before the maturity or redemp- ton of the Victory notes" which have four years to run. While it IS inpcSSiple TO eStlnnate tne eS- nenses to be incurred during the present fiscal year, the secretary is confident that treasury certifica tes supplemented by short term notes will provide the necessary funds to pay the governments debts.
 q need scarcely to say" the sec retary added, "that the realization of these sanguine expectations is contingent upon the practice of the most rigid economy by the govern ment and the continuance of ample revenues from taxation. Such course, accompanied by the practice of sober economy and wise investment by our people and strict avoidance of waste and speculation, will make 1t possible for the American people to respond to the demands to be made upon them privately for capital and credit by the nations of Europe-demand which are reinforced by the strong est and most vital ties of sympathy for the allies, who fought and won the war with us-as we'll as by the most obvious dictates of self-in- terest.'

Winter wheat and rye, now being harvested, showed the largest production ever attained. Record crops of sweet potatoes, tobacco and rice also were pre- dioted and the production of spring wheat, corn, oats, barley, white potatoes and hay is expected to be Iarqer than the average for the five years, 1et3-1e17.
 Value of the wheat. corn and oats crops combined, amounts to s3,34o,622 900, based on July farm prices. The value of corn is S4,- 768,475,0oo; wheat, $2,577, ,42o,ooo, and oats ses4, 4,727 900.
 Plant disease and other condi- tions, however, made heavy in- roads during June on prospective wheat and oats production. The forecast shows a loss of 75,0oo, 900 bushels of wheat since the June estimate and a reduction of 43,- 100000 bushels in the prospective oats crop. High temperatures caused deterioration in the condi- ton of winter wheat in some sec tions while plant disease increased in central districts. The heat also affected spring wheat in some
 parts of the belt where black rust has appeared and somewhat dam
 aged the crop.
 The area planted to corn, white
 potatoes, flax and rye is smaller than last year, while the acreage
 of sweet potatoes and tobacco is
 larger.
