Eastern Cities
Alone Will Hold
Divisional Parades

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-Parad-
es of complete divisions of the Amer
lean army returning from France
probably can be held only in few
cities in the immediate vicinity OF
the debarkation ports. The response
to the request of many other locall-
ties for divisional reviews Of its own
troops likely will have to be the pa
rading of not NOR than a reglmnt.
This, it was learned today is the con-
viction of the officers at the war de-
/ partment who have been studying
home coming parade proposals.
Cities in which it probably would
be possible to hold divisional reviews,
these officers said, are Boston, New
York and Washington. To hold such
a parade in an inland city, it wa ssald
would be almost impossible and quite
impracticable. ...... .....

Peace Conference
May Be Moved to
Neutral Country

PARIS, Feb. 1.-THE question OF
moving the peace conference from
Paris to a neutral country may, be
considered by the conference If what
is characterized as the obstructive
policy of the French press and GER
tain French officials continues, 1t de-
veloped today.
Representatives of various other
powers taking part in the peace con-
ference, it is declared, believe the
work of the body is being greatly
hampered through unfriendly critl-
cism by the French press of various
leaders in the conference. They are
represented, therefore, as inclined to
consider the removal of the confer
ence if the hostile attitude OF the
French press is maintained.
Should it be deemed necessary to
take up the matter it would be con-
sidered at full meeting Of the peace
conference. ."
Just what is meant in the forego.

ALMOST A RIVAL OF ROCKEFELLER

Henry L. Doherty in these days
is an international celebrity because
Of his prominence as an owner Of oil,
gas and electric properties. He has,
for instance, enormous oil properties
in Mexico. Just now he is chairman
Of a committee Of petroleum producers
and refners which is negotiating with
m0tor-makers. These producers say
the limited supply Of petroleum in the
United States has forced reflners to
put lower grade gasoline on the mar
ket and automobile manufacturers
must readjust their engines to new
specifications.
This is one Of the problems which
is expected to come before a statis.
tical and research bureau which the
American Petroleum institute intends
to establish in which the producers,
refiners and consumers Of oil may Join
in co-ordinating their efforts for the
improvement Of the industry.

HARRY NEW ON TRIAL
CHARGED WITH KILLING
HIS GIRL COMPANION
Claims to Be Son of Senator
New of Indiana; Has
Battling Defense
(By United Press. }

(By United Press.)
Los Angeles, CAL, December H.
The question of whether Harry S.
New, claiming to be the son Of Unit
cd States Senator Harry S. New OF
Indiana, murdered brown-eyed
Frieda Lesser, his 18-year-old sweet
heart, on the night of July 5, started
on its way to an answer today.
Harry New, appearing to have
benefited rather than to have vast
ed away as a result Of five months in
Jail, was brought before Superior
Judge Calvin Craig here for trial.
While United States Senator New
has never visited the man who
claims him as his father the fact that
LeCompte Davis, noted California at
torney, sat beside Attorney John L..
Richardson at defense counsels table
recalled to many the only statement
on the case that Senator New has
made-"I have never shirked a re-
sponsibility and l never will"
Since the days which Immediately
followed the death Of Frieda Lesser,
News two attorneys have developed
a defense which observers predict
will prove baffling.
By this defense, according to its
meager outlines permitted to become
known, a fat denial that New mur-
dered the girl will be made. New is
the only person, the prosecution ad-
mits, who could have witnessed
Frieda Lesser's death. He cannot be
forced to testify.
~ ~ ~
agree, will force the prosecution to
rely on two lines Of evidence to
prove its case.
One will be circumstantial evi-
dence.
The second, and most important,
will be the story which New told
police detectives when he drove to
the central police station here during
the grey Of dawn Of July 6.
1--WE killed woman" he told the
detectives when he walked into the
station. "She's out there in the au-
tomobile.''
In the rear seat of News sedan,
covered with blanket, was the body
OF Frieda Lesser, blood from a single
bullet wound in the temple clothing
a mass of curly brown hair.
Two hours later New signed an
alleged confession. 1t told in few
words the story Of a four months
courtship, and finally an auto ride
starting on the evening of July 4,
which near midnight found New and
Frieda Lesser sitting in the rear seat
OF News sedan, at the roadside in
dark TopangO canyon, 20 miles from
Los Angeles.

We do actually perceive different
distances with the eye, but Judge them
from various indications. If you see
a person in a fog, for instance, he
seems to be much bigger than usual.
You Judge him to be farther away
than he really is, and consequently he
appears uncommonly large.
