STATE RESTS IN
MATEWAN TRIAL
Asks for Verdict of 'eNot CuiI-
ty Against Two of the
Defendants.

WILLIAMSON, w. Va, March -
Seventeen defendants We're standing trial
in the Matewan battle case this after
noon instead of 10, after the state had
rested and asked the court to instruct
the jury to return a verdict of not
guilty against ABB Albert Burgraff and
Williams Star. 1t was said by the state
thtat it had failed to estabIishe sufficient
evidence to warrant continued prose-
cution of the men who were indicted on
charges in connection with the killing of
Albert c. Felts, who met death with six
other Baldwin-Felts detectives in the
Matewan gun fight last May.
The men were formally arraiened in
this specific case but still are under in
dictments on other counts arising from
the death of the remaining detectives
The defense placed two witnesses on
the stand this afternoon. Tony Webb
formerly chief deputy for ex-Sheriff c.
L. .Blankership, and Jack GilIion, a bar
ber of Huntington, but formerly of Mat
evan. After Webbs examination, J. j.
Coniff, an attorney for the defendants,
announced that the defense would rest
upon plea of not guilty based on self
defense.
in cross examination counsel for the
state brought out that Gallon was an
eyewitness at the start of the battle
Mr.. COniff, in direct examination, failed
" IOuCll upon JIllS point, ana Wnen the
fact was brought out by the state. he
said he had no previous knowledge that
Gillion had witnessed any part of the
fighting.
S. b. Avis, of counsel for the state, ad-
mitted a variation of the story by Gal
lion today and that he gave before the
grand jury. Gallon testified today that
he saw Albert Felts standing in front of
a hardware store surrounded by a crowd
and that he later saw Felts shoot over
his shoulder with his right hand into the
doorway of the store and then shoot with
the other hand toward Mayor c. c. Tes-I
terman. who was wounded fatally in the
fight. The state claimed that the grand
jury testimony did not coincide with the
statement as to which pistol Felts is al
legged to have fired first
Gallon told the jury that prior to the
battle he heard a conversation between
two of the Baldwin FeIts men, Albert
Felts and c. b. Cunningham, during
which one of them remarked, If we can
get rid of this Chief Hatfield, Squire
can handle the rest. Blankenship has
not any nerve, anyway"
Tony Webb, the other defense witness,
denied that Sid Hatfield. chief of police
Of Matewan and one of the defendants,
had told him over the telephone that one
of the detectives would be killed before
they got out of town Two telephone
operators, called as witnesses for the
state had testified that they heard Hat
field make the threat against the Bald
win men.
The defense sought to bring out, dur
ing Webb's examination, that Felts had
made a threat against the union. The

GERMANY DON'T
LIKE THE TERMS
Makes Counter Proposition That
Is Flatly Refused-Con-
ference Adjourns.
(ey The Associated Press

LONDON, March 1.--When the Ger
man delegates faced the allies around
The table in Lancaster house today
with the object Of coming to a finaI
settlement of the German indemnity
La gulf was created even wider than
any predictions had forecast. Ger
many's counter proposals fell so short
of the allied program drawn up at
Paris that the British prime minister
| declared: THE German government
appears to have a complete misunder-
standing of the realities of the posi-
tion,' and tersely adjourned the con-
ference after DIR. Slmons, German for
eign secretary, had presented the doc
ument and tried to advocate it's rea-
| sonableness.
The British viewpoint held in the
allied camps tonight is that negotia-
tions have ended and that the allies
are on the eve of action. Their reply
is expected to be an ultimatum, clear
and imperative,
The following bulletin was issued
after a brief meeting of the heads of
the allied delegations this afternoon:
1T was decided to consult the jul
ridfcial and military advisors tomorrow
with a view to informing the German
delegation on Thursday as to-. the
measures the allies propose to take"
The word measures" and mention of
the juridicial and military advisors
are considered significant.
DIR. Simons offered what experts
estimate would amount to $500, 900. 900
pounds sterling, of which Germany
claims 1,0O0,O 900 pounds sterling has
already been paid in money and sup
plies. This is coupled with the condi-
tions that Upper Silesia remains Ger
man, and that free commercial privi-
leges shall be restored to Germany
throughout the world.
Compared with this proffer, the al
lies terms required the payment of
IL, 800, ,000, 900 pounds sterling, and the
lowest Germany was expected to put
forward was something over 7,00O,-
100000 pounds sterling, while Ger
many wants 100000 600 pounds sterI-
ing raised by a German foreign loan.
in which she processes to believe
America would cooperate.
The German delegates still are of
the opinion that their proposal and
the statement of Germany's economic
conditions may be taken as basis
for settlement.
An advance into Germany by the
allied armies is in no wise assured,
even If the allies feel obliged to give
an ultimatum. Economic pressure may
be attempted instead.
No attempt for the further use of
soldiers has developed in England and
If an advance movement is undertaken
Ii will be a French and Belgian meas
nre. in which Great Britain will coop
crate only from loyalty to the allies.
The English generally feel that they
have only a secondary interest in the
Indemnity questions because they
have gradually become reconciled TO
the belief that they will get little out
of Germany at the best.

Berlin-Germany has accepted the
Allied ultimatum.
The Reichstag by vote of 221 to IT'S,
lied powers, and, in SO doing agreed
to fulfill the terms of the treaty of
Versailles "to the capacity of the ma
tion.''
DR.. Wirth, Centrist leader, finally
succeeded in forming a Coalition cabi,
net, composed of Centrists, Majority
Socialists and Democrats, which, con-
fronted by grave necessity, speedily
decided that acceptance of the ultima
tum was the only course.
In making this announcement to the
Reichstag, the new chancellor asked
for an immediate decision by that body,
and, in voting that followed, the gov
eminent was sustained.

mulated to expire on the night of May
~.
The total sum, which Germany is
called on to pay $3.50, 600, 900 pounds
sterling, disarmament must be car.
ried out, in accordance with provisions
of the treaty, and the trial of war
criminals must be put into effect.
Numerous other important terms in
which Germany has been in default,
will be enforced.
Noncompliance with the Allied ulti
matum would have subjected Germany
to occupation by the Allies of the
Ruhr valley. and to whatever other
military and naval measures were
deemed advisable.
The new cabinet is generally re
garded as a makeshift, largely unrep
resentative, yet good enough to accept
the Entente ultimatum, and thus avoiG
a French advance into the Ruhr.

Emergency Act Accepted, 1928,
With Dumping and Currency
Clauses Rewritten.
CHEAP IMPORTS CURBED
Bill Carries Section Designed to Check
Influx of Foreign Goods
Will Be Effective for
Six Months.

Washington-The Senate passed the
emergency tariff and ~anti-dumping bill,
retaining all amendments recommend
ed by the Finance committee, but re-
jecting those individually proposed.
The vote was 60 to %.
Seven Democrats, Senators Brous-
sard, Louisiana; Jones, New Mexico;
Kendrick, Wyoming; Myers, Montana;
Pittman, Nevada; Ransdell, Louisiana,
and Sheppard, Texas, voted with the
Republicans in passing the bill. An,
other Democrat, Senator Ashurst of
Arizona, who was absent, was an
nounced as a supporter.
Moses Votes With Opposition.
Only one Republican, Senator Moses
of New Hampshire, voted against the
bill.
AS passed by the Senate, the meas
ure differs radically from the form in
which it was passed by the House
early in the extra session. 1t now goes
to conference. Only the tariff features
of the bill were kept intact, the anti.
dumping and currency revaluation sec
ton being entirely rewritten and the
provision added for continuation of the
wartime restrictions on imports of dye
stufts.
Action by the Senate came at the
end of five hours of driving attack by
Democratic leaders. The latter, how
ever. were not alone in their attempts
to amend the measure. for several Re-
publicans made efforts to broaden it's
scope. All proposals were swept aside
by practically the same vote.
Effective for Six Months.
AS passed by the Senate the bill
lis to be effective for six months by
the end of which time, it is hoped, the
permanent tariff law, now being
framed by the House Ways and Means
committee, will have been enacted. 1t
provides rates of duty on wheat, corn,
beans. peanuts, potatoes. rice, cattle,
sheep, meats, long staple cotton and
cotton manufactures, wool and wool
manufactures, sugar, milk, wrapper
and filler tobacco. and other farm pro.
ducts.
Curb on Cheap Imports.
In addition to the tariff provisions,
the bill carries an anti-dumping sec
ton designed to check the influx Of
cheaply manufactured foreign goods
Provision is made for the inspection
of foreign exporters books to deter.
mine costs, where necessary, for the
assessment of duties. The present
