 Mental Torture of
 Confessed Slayer
Alienists Are Engaged to De- termine Whether or Not
 Mrs. Raizen Insane

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-Mrs. Lillian $. Raizen, who shot and killed Dr. Abraham Glickstein at his Brooklyn office lest Saturday, today was ques- toned in a two hour examination by District Attorney Lewis.
 She seems to possess a very acute mind," Lewis said. My main effort was to find the trend of her mentality She told me nothing that she has not told before, and I asked her questions purely for the sake of studying her mind"
 Attorneys for Mrs. Raizen said they had found a number of letters writ ten by her after the alleged attack of the physician three weo'l before her marriage. These letters will prove, they declared. that Mrs. Raj zen's mind was unbalanced, in that she was obsessed with the idJ that Dr. Glickstein should be removed from her life for all time.
 Alienists engaged by the woman's attorneys will conclude their examin- ations tomorrow. after which, it was said. the defense will decide whether to apply for a commission to pass upon her sanity. In the event of their request for commission, District Attorney Lewis said he would employ alienists to assist in the prosecution.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-(By the Associated Press) - China's appeal for a wholesale abrogation of all the treaties and agreements comprised un der the 21 points which Japan pro- pounded in her 1915 demands will not receive the support of the American delegation, althougr the Americans will endeavor to obtain through y>,lun- tary concession by Japan a relinquish ment of many of the special privi- leges and concessions which have proved so irksome to China, 1t was said today.
 The American delegates, it is said. are of the opinion that Japan is pre- pared to go to great lengths to meet reasonable requests" from China for the amelioration of conditions arising under the application of the points which bear heavily upon her.
 Having secured the adhesion of Japan to two principles laid down by Elihu Root. the American delegates believe that the application of these will go far toward that end.

They claimed to have in their possession the mans full confession of being connected with the disaster.

 Sylvester Cosgrove, an American department of justice agent. at whose
 
 the arrest of the suspect was brought about, declared that Lfndenfeld has agreed to turn states evidence and return to America. where he has a wife and two children in New York.
 Communists Involved
 The suspects written confession, according to the agent, says that $3O,O00 was promised for the job, to be divided among four or five per sons, and that the money was receiv- ed by New York Communists from the Moscow Third Internationale.
 Lindenfeld left New York early last spring. The Polish police say he was exposed in Warsaw in 1908 as a Russian secret agent. fleeing to Amer ica shortly afterwards.
 According to Cosgrove and Paul Al tendorf, who trailed Lindenfeld, the suspect in his confession named five principals now in Europe who shared the money for the job. One of the principals, the confession shows, was woman who, from a window orpo- site Morgan's office, observed the fi- nancier's movements for days, and from her reports the bomb was timed to explode about the usual time Nor gan came out for luncheon.
 The confession, as described by the American agents, terms the prema- ture explosion "a mechanical mis- take" for which the bomb makers are blamed Lindenfeld estimated that the bomb exploded from 10 to 15 min utes before the intended time.

Chief of Reclamation Service Favors Block of.Free Power
 For Arizona and Nevada

PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec. 16.-A- P. Davis, director of the United States reclamation service, speaking at the Arizona State Industrial conference here today, advocated giving Arizona and Nevada each a block of free power from the proposed project ot the Colorado river.
 "In my view" said Davis, "the states of Arizona and Nevada, in which this great reservoir site lies, should each be granted a block or free power perpetually in lieu of the taxes that would be collected upon the property if it were erected by private enterprise"
 Director Davis told the conference that the reclamation service had con- pleted preparing plans for one of the four most important dam sites on the Colorado river and that plans for the other three would be completed as soon as possible. Then, he said, th service will select the one that ap- pears the most feasible and wifi do what it can to have work started on the project.

 Director Davis will spend tomorrow and the most of the ncx, day at Roosevelt Dam, 70 miles east of here Director Davis was in charge of the luilding of the Roosevelt dam most of the time it was under construc- tion.

AND STEAMER CRASH Six Members U. s. s. Graham Injured in Collision Off
 Coast of New Jersey BOATS HELD TOGETHER Wrecking Tugs and Medical Aid Rushed to Scene of
 Peculiar Accident
BOATS HELD TOGETHER

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-Six mem bers of the crew of the United States destroyer Graham were injured to- night in a collision with the passen- ger steamship Panama off Seagirt, New Jersey.
 'fThe bow of the Panama cut into the starboard side of the destroyer and held her fast. No aNeInpr was made to draw the vessels apart be- fore the arrival of wrecking tugs and other craft dispatched from the navy yard in answer to wireless calls for assistance.
 Three hours after the accident, a radio message from the Panama said that the destroyer was resting easily across her bow and that the injured were receiving medical aid from the liners surgeon and a doctor from the steamship General G. w. Goethals, which had reached the scene Of the accident. ,
 Fire Rooms Flooded
 Naval officers were awaiting a re- port from commander w. F. Amsden of the Graham, to determine respon- sibility for the crash, ,aasmucn as clear weather along the coast was reported by coast guard stations. An early radio frfom the destroyer stated that the Panama had rammed the naval vessel and thatt one of the lat ter's fire rooms had been flooded. Prompt closing of the water-tight compartments evidently had kept the destroyer afloat and had enabled the prov of the steamship to remain wedged in her hulk.
 The Panama was coming 70 New York with 107 passengers from the Canal Zone and the destroyer was bound from New York to Charleston, s. c.
 The Graham carries a co-1pieme,.t of 5 officers and about 65 enNxed men.
 First intimation of the odd predica- ment of the two vessels was received in message from Captain Oakley of the Panama, which gave assurance that his ship could proceed under her own steam. The radio added, how ever, that this could be done "as soon as we can cut fire from the Graham .''
