NEW DEFENSE
SEEKS RIVAL
FOR LOVE Of
SLAINF|ANCEE

Los ANGELES, July 1s.-Whether
beautiful Frieda Lesser in fact had
another sweetheart at the time she
welcomed the attentions Of Harry S.
New, jr, said to be the son of United
States Senator New of Indiana, now
promises TO be one of the most inn
portant features in the case when
New is placed on trial for his life.
While the defense is said to have
definitely determined that New would
enter a plea Of not guilty when taken
before Superior Judge Craig today,
despite the fact he brought the girls
body to the police and confessed to
the murder, his attorneys were uncov-
ering every angle of the "other man"
theory.
State Ready With Proof.
Surprise evidence" which, it was
officially announced. would prove
, that the murder of Frieda Lesser by
New, was desperately planned and
executed. is in possession of the
prosecution.
VIXEN New goes to trial for the
murder Of his sweetheart this evil
dence, gathered by detectives of the
district attorneys office, will be
, sprung. Until then it will be kept
secret
AS the time for News trial draws
near the popular impression that the
staying of Frieda Lesser was the re-
. suit of an irrational moment, which
News own story first created, is Civ
ing way to the theory that the crime
was conceived by New long before the
night of July 5, when in Topango
Canyon the youth shot to death the
girl he says he asked to become his
wife.
TypIsa Refutes Prisoner.
The first setback to News story OF
his movements on the night of the
crime, tending to show that in an in
sane 1T, when his mind was a blank,
he slew his sweetheart, was developed
through the evidence given the prose-
cutor by the stenographer. who says
she saw New on the night Of the muir
der at a dance. This was about the
time he said he was riding in an auto
mobile with Frieda Lesser.
Then came the report that New
would attempt to show that the slain
girl attempted suicide and was ac-
cidentally killed during a struggle in
which he tried to wrest the revolver
from her.
No Aid From Senator.
It was stated positively by q rela-
tive of United States Senator Harry
S. New of Indiana, who is in Los |
Angeles, that no financial sineWs for |
the defense of Harry S. New will be |
afforded by the Senator for the man |
who calls him father.
The considerable sum available for |
attorneys and alienists all was raised |
by Mrs. Burger, mother of the pris-
oner, from close friends in Indianap- |
oils and her own private purse. it is |
reported. The chief contributor is |
said to be the son Of a former cir |
cult court judge in Indiana. This (
man knew Mrs. Burger when she was /
Lilly Scudder. one Of the most attrac- !
tive young women in that State, and /
later on took an interest in Harry.

M. J. RYAN SAYS CARSoN'S
ACTIVITIES. ENCOURAGED
GERMANS TO BEGIN WAR

PHILADELPHIA. July 1s.-Sir Ed
ward Carson was characterized as the
arch-representative of the class re-
sponsible for strife in Ireland by
Michael J. Ryan, one of the three
| delegates who represented the Irish
American cause at the peace confer
ence in Paris. Mr.. Ryan spoke in re-
ply to the attack made by the Union
list upon activities in behalf of Irish
freedom in this country.
Americans should reflect that Sir
Edward Carson speaks for a losing
cause" said Mr.. Ryan.
He represents intolerate and or
ganizcd ignorance in Ireland. but the
great world war. now ended, has
happily sounded the death knelI of
both
He is not an Ulster man. but a very
able lawyer with a large English
practice.
Years ago he became the counsel
OF the land-owning class. whose in
famies England has Joined in helping
to abolish. He now represents what
is called the ascendency party, which
is made up of those who personally
profit by the acknowledged misgov-
eminent of Ireland.
1.-The arousing Of religious rancor
mas ever been potent weapon IN his
armor Of hate, and he has again in
voked il.
1T is well known that six years
ago Carson sought the former Ger
man Emperor and had the Ulster vol
unteers supplied from Germany with
guns and ammunition. 1t was Car
sons threat of armed revolution in
case Irish home rule law was put in
force that encouraged Germany to
launch the world war. and it was his
appointment as attorney general in
the coalition cabinet after his no
torioUs treason that made Irishmen
despair Of ever securing justice from
England by constitutional means.
Carson now asks that America at
tend 20 her own affairs. This, how
ever, Is a change from the plea when
the cry for help came across the ocean
when EngIand's armies faced certain
defeat. We were then asked to join
with Great Britain to protect the
rights of small nations and to give to
all people the rights of seIf-determI-
nation.
America believed that England
meant to live up to her agreement,
and when liberty-loving America sup
ports Ireland's demands she is only
insisting that England keep faith"

DRY TACTICS. HURT
C. 0. P, HEADS FEAR

Prohibition enforcement and day
! light saving legislation battled this
morning for right OF way in the House
with the prohibition forces insistent
! that when they took the floor at. noon
I they should not be forced to give way
during the day to daylight saving.
1 With factionalism and dissatisfac-
| ton missing up generally the legis-
| lative situation in the House, prohibit
! ton leaders are anxious to get final
| action on their bill, fearing their
| forces may be caught in the swirl and
their grip on the situation broken.
The votes are assured now for passage
of the enforcement legislation in
drastic form, but avowed prohibit
tionists are beginning to present
amendments modifying some features
OF the bill and other similar amend
ments are expected to be urged with
increasing vehemence and support.
G. o. p. Leaders Worried.
There is a report this morning that
an appeal has gone to Congressman
James r. Mann, who is in Chicago.
from some of the most influential Re-
publican leaders in Congress to re-
turn and take up the Republican
leadership in the House. These Re-
publican leaders, not all of whom are
members OF the House or even men,
bers Of Congress. are dissatisfied with
the way the Republican majority in
the House is working. and they fear
mistakes that may result in loss to
Republican party prestige.
Present indecision on the daylight
saving legislation is not helping mat
ters any, while the growing an
tagonism to provisions of the prohi-
bition enforcement act insisted on by
the AntiSalooD League, party leaders
say, is forcing a situation that de-
mands the attention of the most ex-
perienced and sagacious of the party
leaders
House drys prepared today to push
the bill through to final passage be-
fore tomorrow night.
The first section of the bill which
deals with war time prohibition has
been tentatively approved by the
House, and the important parts OF the
Constitutional section have been
passed.
A bitter fight is expected on the
court procedure. in furnishing vio-
lators of the act, but the bill is ex-
pected to pass in practically the same
form as reported from the Judiciary
Committee Drys have refused to al
low trial by jury of violators of war
time prohibition. injunctions, and will
take the same stand on the Constitu-
tional enforcement
Congressman Morgan Oklahoma
is still determined to make his fight
for the elimination OF private home
stocks of liquor, but lacks united
support of the prohibitionists.

hundred saloons here resumed the
sale of 2& per cent beer this morn

declining to give a definite decision
in the Bergner and Engel Brewing
Company test case yesterday.
The bartenders' strike was called
off and all union men were ordered
to report for work at 10 o'clock this

in front of the market. Many of thu
! food-seekers came back with TN
brellas and renewed the siege.
/ Many of the people were disap-
pointed this morning when they were
| informed that orders only would be
taken and that general disposition OF
the supply would not start until the
afternoon.
Besides the individual buyers or
ders were coming In from Govern
ment departments, whose employees
want to experience the bliss of buy
ing food at something like pre-war
prices.
Requests for large amounts of the
food were placed by the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing. the Govern
ment Printing Office. PostOffice De-
partment. the Garnet School, Love-
joy School, Birney School, Wilson

Community Centers Get Portion.
Portions Of the carload of food have
been sent to the various schools and
community centers for sale today
while the Government departments
will undertake the distribution of
food among their employees. Trucks
were sent by the various departments
to the market to take the consign-
ments of food to the department
buildings.
The demand for canned bacon is so
great that Mr.. McGrath has been
obliged to reduce the portions allotted
to the schools and departments.
1t was announced that plans to
place a portion of the food on sale at
the Eastern and Western Markets
have been abandoned. Since the de-
mand is greater than the supply 1t
was found unnecessary to include the
two markets in the list of sales CEN
tiers.
Volunteers from the Government
departments who aided Mr.. McGrath
in inspecting the shipment yesterday
find that the food is in excellent con-
dition, although it was expected that
some Of the supply would be spoiled.
May Be Made Permanent.
1t is expected that if residents Of
the District continue to favor the
community food market plan it will
be made a permanent proposition, and
the high cost of living, as far as food
is concerned, materially reduced in
Washington.
Several retail dealers made applica-
ton for some of the carload of food
today, but were informed that the
demand by the individual consumers
must be met first.
At a conference of persons interest
ed in the new food distribution plan
yesterday it was announced that the
consumers will save from 81 I" 70
per cent on the price of foods -.
Several orders for some of the food
have been received from persons in
Nv York. who want samples OF the
army supplies. 1t is expected that
New York is planning to embark on
a similar enterprise.

TRIBUNE EDITORIAL
READ IN FORD SUIT

MT. CLEMENS. Mich, July 1S.-For
the first time since the trial began,
ten weeks ago, the heart of the Henry
Ford Chicag Tribune libel suit was
reached today. when the editorial en-
titled Ford Is An Anarchist" was
read in court. Ford. who thinks the
publication of the editorial did him
81 100000 damage. was on the stand
and listened quietly to the reading
In connection with the reading of
the editorial, Ford asserted his read
ing of newspapers seldom took him
beyond the headlines, but declared his
belief that a headline should accu-
rately represent the contents Of the
story.
Read II often.
Introduction of the editorial came
suddenly, when Attorney Elliott Ste
venson asked:
Are you familiar with the editorial
captioned Ford Is an Anarchists"
We'll, I've read it thirty or forty
times" Ford answered.
Stevenson then read the editorial
and asked:
"Is there anything in that about
throwing bombs? ~ referring to Mr..
Ford's definition OF an anarchist as
man who would throw bomb.
Ford's counsel objected, and Steven
son said:
This man says his reputation has
been injured. and we want him to
point out where"
Sits with Lawyers.
Henry Ford sat with his attorneys
this morning while Tribune lawyers
read sheaves of testimony by which
they sought to prove peace adver-
tisements written for Ford were I'M
truthful.
The testimony read was that of
General Weaver, artillery expert, IA
voring better coast defenses, given
before the Congressional Committee
on Military Affairs. Attorney Steven
son, OF the Tribune. said he will prove
that Theodore Delavigne, Ford's
peace secretary, mutilated the testi-
mony when he wrote the advertise
ment in question.
When court convened today Attor-
ney Stevenson complained to Judge
Tucker about the time taken with
Ford as a witness. He said for 21S
pages of solid questions and answers
during the Ford testimony. 116 were
taken up by objections and argu-
ments.

THAT COMPULSORY
SCHOOL. LAW.

In regard to the compulsory school
law now in enforcement one parent
remarked recently that he believed,
of course, that the children ought
to be sent to school, but he didn't
like this idea of being made to send
his child to school. The law is not
for the man, who believes that school
is the most important issue in the
rearing of child, that the only thing
to do is to give the child an advan-
tage of an education. There would
be no need of compulsory school
law for such man, and the law does
not apply to him, anymore than the
law, which prevents murder applies to
the man who is peace loving. The
law against murder is not to prevent
the Ables from becoming Gains but
rather to protect the lives of the
Ables of this world.
Thus, we find that under the law
we are free. 1t is because of the
law that man is not afraid to leave
the protection Of his home unarmed.
To look upon the law, as restraint,
to resent thing because it is law,
to chafe under the laws dictation,
seems rather childlessly narrow, to
say the least of it. To say the most
Of it, is to affirm that such senti-
ment is closely akin to anarchy.
Tennessee needed compulsory
School Law. Henry County also
needed it. Fifteen percent illiteracy
here is most decidedly too large
proportion. 1t is an average, posi-
bly,, but an average illiteracy is too
mediocre for a county that is OBJ
viously top notch in so many other
particulars, as Henry County certain
ly is. 1t has been observed that the
little country of Denmark has less
than 2 percent illiterates. Our sis
ter state, Kentucky, is making stern
and fierce fight against illiteracy. In
many sections she is running night

CITIZEN OR PARASITE.

In every community there are two
classes of individuals, those who do
and those who don't. The Don'ts
are those who look at the community
in which they live as business con-
cern-nothing more. This class pay
their honest debts, live and thrive in
the community; receive the protec-
ton and pleasure of the churches,
schools, and of other daily and nee
essary conveniences, but are content
to let others, often the small few,
run the affairs Of the city, without
so much as thought Of their own
debt of duty to the community; of
the fact that they owe the community
certain amount Of time and inter
est. The Dont's are parasites, fat
and satisfied to flourish ON with the
energies of another.
Citizens are those who look upon
the community as a group of individ-
uals like themselves, each doing his
part toward making his city a more
pleasant and proper place for him
and his family. Citizens are those
who Do,-do take an active interest
in the welfare of the community; do,

CAUTION SHOULD BE
TAKEN.

arrive when we are apt to receive

crop of tobacco destroyed by fire

sense tragedies, while not as fire.
quent as in years past, are sufficient
ly numerous to occasion an urgent
warning to farmers to exert added
caution in this final labor in prepar-
ing their crop for the market. After
long days of patient labor through
out hot summer, to have ones crop
destroyed lust when it has reached
stage wherein the crop is ready for
selling, is deplorable indeed and far
mers should use all possible care in
the firing of their crops, for a little
foresight at this important time, may
result in saving their production

else besides ''talk" instead of eternal
ly questioning, "Why don't they do
this or that" go out and help do the
thing that is obvious to be done; be-
come a part Of their community, not
a parasite.
Your community needs you as an
active, working part Of it. 1t is
your city, as much as it is the city
of anyone else. You want no one
else running your business for you.
You feel thoroughly capable of run
ming your own family affairs, and
