gree murder of Leo Holfaster
during an alteration over a

testimony given by previous wit
nesses. None Of those examined so
far have expressed any recollection
of seeing the monkeywrench, which
was found by the dead body of
young Holzfaster, in anyone's hands
during the alteration.
The defense will argue Berwick

claiming Holzfaster did climb on the
running board of his car, beat or
strike him over the head and di-

London; Dec. 8.-(By the Asso-

request the United States govern
ment, in the interests of Anglo

Horatio Bottomley, liberal. later

conferring on him of municipal
honors was an unfriendly act. This
was greeted by cries of mo"

Harding Busy at
Work on Policies
President-Elect Begins Actual
Constructive Work for
Regime.

Marion. O., Dec. 8.-With his re-
turn to Marion today from his vaca-
ton trip to the tropics, President
elect Harding was ready to begin
actual constructive work on the poll
cies of the coming administration.
In Washington during the last two
days he felt out opinions on many
subjects and he let it be known to-
day that he was we'll pleased with
the result. He told his friends that
he believed his ideal of party gov
ernment and common understanding
had been furthered by his talks with
republican leaders and that his can
vass of sentiment regarding an as
sociation of nations had been par
ticularly encouraging.
The work done in Washington
was purely preliminary, however,
and at least some of the senator's
with whom he discussed foreign af-
fairs will come to Marion later to
take part in the league conferences
that are to begin early next week.
Meantime, consultations about Sc
lections for the cabinet will continue.
and it is not probable that the final
list of appointments to Mr.. Hard
ing's official family will>be complete
much before Inauguration day.

League Plans for
New Committees
Bitterly Scored
Canadian Says Proposed Or.
ganizations Would Be Con.
trolled by Politicians of
European Countries.

Geneva, Dec. 8.-(By The Associ-
ated Press.)-Plans proposed for
the formation of the technical or
CARNATIONS of the league Of nations.
dealing with finance, health and
transportation, were sharply at
tackled at todays session of the
leagues assembly by Newton Wes-
ley Rowell, former president of the
Canadian privy council.
These plans, the Canadian ex-min-
lister contended, tended to take such
organizations out of the hands of
the assembly, which should control
them, and throw them under the in
huence of Europe through the i'm
possibility of the non-European ma
tions sending their best men to three
or four conferences annually.
FIFTY thousand Canadian soldiers
under the sod in Europe is the price
Canada has paid for the European
craftsmanship which has drenched
the continent in blood" Mr.. Rowell
exclaimed.
The Canadian ex-minister's ener-'
getic intervention in the debate took
the assembly by surprise. Most of
the European delegates gave no
signs of recovery from their aston
ishment as the Canadian delegate
concluded, but he was warmly ap-
plauded from all the other benches.
Debate on the subject had been
opened by DR.. Fridtjof Nansen of
Norway. 1t was based on the report
of the committee on technical or
ganizations., DR.. Nansen insisted
upon the necessity of cooperation
in these organizations by countries
not members of the league. He
called attention to the participation
of nonmembers in previous financial
conferences and other consultations,
and pointed to the substantial aid
they had given in the work of re-
patriating prisoners of war.

chances of buying diseased hogs"

chased hogs which were in the best
of condition for slaughtering pur-
poses and have sold over 100 dressed
hogs to people in this vicinity dur
ing the past few months,

ing the last part of this week, ac-
ccrding to information received by
some of the retailers who are admit
