CONGRESS APPROVAL
Of COLORADO RIVER
POLICY IS CERTAIN
IRepubIlcan A. p. Leased wlre1

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-Confi-
dence that congress would support
the Colorado River commission in
any definite development plan 1t
might evolve benefitting the several
states adjacent to the Colorado river
was " ced at public hearing of the
commission today.
Senator Pittman of Nevada and
Representatives Swing of California,
Arentz of Nevada and Osborne Of
California, said they were certain
congress would enact laws to carry
out any general development out
lined by the commission.
The river proper could not be di-
vided into sections and controlled
by individual states. the latter con-
tended. He insisted that co-opera-
tion on the part of the states and
the assistance OF the federal govern
ment was necessary.
Representative Osborne urged the
creation Of large storage reservoir
near the Grand Canyon.
Committees appointed yesterday
were not ready to reort and Chair
man Hoover adjourned the meeting
until tomorrow.
Senator Pittman characterized the
Colorado river project as the great
cts in the west, while Representative
Swing pointed out that the co-opera-
tion OF all the southwestern states
was necessary in working out the
project as a whole.

Mrs Stillrnan To
Continue Fight
For Court Funds

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-Mrs. Anne
L. Stillman viii continue her court
fight to obtain from her husband
James A. Stillman. $500 to defray
the cost of Canadian hearings in their
divorce suit, which was denied today
by the appellate division of the SUI
preme court, John Brennan, her
counsel announced tonight.
Mr.. Brennan said the courts de-
cision allowed a renewal of the ap-
plication on submission of additional
proof showing that Mrs. Stillman did
not have on hand sufficient money
to meet these expenses. He will sub
nit proof asked for at once. he said
and new hearing will be sought at
a special term of the court.
The justices took occasion to note
that neither Mr.. Stillman nor his
wife "has specifically made a verified
denial of the allegations of his or her
own misconduct"
They took issue with Mr.. Still
mans counsel on the statement made
last week that Mrs. Stillman's de-
fense had not yet given evidence of
potential success, but they held that
Mr.. Stillman already had paid his
wife more money for counsel fees
than most people are able TO aceu-
mulate in a lifetime of toll.

Writ Of Error In
Appeal Of Louise
Peete Is Allowed
REPUBLICAN a. p. Leased WireI

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. ~. -- A
writ of error was allowed by the state
supreme court this afternoon in the
case of Mrs. Louise Peete convicted
and sentenced to life Imprisonment
for the murder of Jacob Denton of
Los Angeles, in order to permit her
attorneys to carry out their an
nounced intention to appeal TO the
supreme court of the United States.
Counsel obtained the writ of error
on contention that the lower courts
should have granted Mrs. Peete a
writ of habeas corpus for release
from San Quentin prison. The ha
beas corpus had been sought in the
ground that thirteenth or an al
ternate juror, who later became an
active juror was not chosen in ac-
cordance with California laws.
Neither the state supreme court nor
the United states district court up
held this contention. The same con-
tention Is to be the basis of the pro-
jected appeal to the federal supreme
ourt, 1t was announced.
Today's application for writ OF
error was made direct to Chief Jus
uce Lucien Shaw. who granted it inn
mediately.

ENDS
CASE IN TRIAL
Of FADED STAR
Republican A, p. Leased Wire1

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 27-The
defense in the trial of a second man
slaughter charge against Roscoe c..
(Fatty) ArbuclIle went through the
procedure of closing its case twice
today.
Formal announcement was made
at the close of testimony of DR..
George Franklin Shields. medical ex-
pert, a few moments after the session
began. that the defense case was
"in." A few moments later, at the
suggestion of the court, that a direct
connection be established. if possible,
between certain acts OF Virginia
Rappe, indicating severe Illness and
the bladder injuries which resulted
In her death the defense reopened
it's case DIR. Shields was recalled
and testified that such acts might be
connected with a chronic bladder
complaint, but added under cross ex-
animation that they also might be
caused by ailments in other organs
The prosecution contends that the
injury which caused Miss Rappes
death resulted from force applied by
Arbuckle during a party in his suite
in the Hotel st. Francis Sept. 5. 1921
The defense contends that Miss Rap
pes death was the climax of a
chornic bladder disorder.
The defense called as its last wit
ness Milton T. URen, assistant dis
trict attorney who has taken lead
ing part in the prosecution. He was
asked regarding his knowledge of
certain finger prints found on a door
of Arbuckle's bedroom in the hotel.
The prosecution contends that the
finger prints were made by ArbuclSle
and Miss Rappe while she was strug-
Cling to escape from him. Defense
expert testimony has characterized
the prints as a fake"
August Vollmer, chief of police of
Berkeley, Calf, and president OF the
international Association of Police
Chiefs testified as a prosecution
finger print expert that certain
prints of the door appear to have
been made by a female hand or
small male hand" There were cer-
tain characteristics in these prints
which corresponded to the police
prints of Miss Rappe's finger tips,
he said. The prints were taken from
Miss Rappe, after death.
Harry II. Caldwell. finger print
expert Of Oakland, Calf. tesufef
that the police exemplars of th-
Rappe and Arbuckle finger tips ap-
peared to be the same as those on
the door. He was mot absolutely
positive" that they were the same,
however.
DR.. Frederick P. Clark, superin-
tendent of the state hospital at
Stockton, Calf, testified that Mrs.
Kate Brennan, n defense witness,
was an inmate of the hospital during
a period in which Mrs Brennan tes-'
titled that she lived in San Fran
cisco. The prosecution is endeayor-
ing to have the testimony OF Mrs;
Brennan stricken out on the ground
she was adjudged insane in 1909 and
the judgment still stands. motion

mans testimony impeached was de-

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27. - The
house refused today to attach to the
independent offices appropriation bin
an amendment to prohibit the ship
ping board from proceeding with the
reconditioning of the Leviathan

board could spend for repairs on any
one ship without congressional
authority. Refitting of the Levithian

posal was rejected by a vive voce
