PART IN
 MURDER PACT
Mrs. Brunch and Mohr Testify to Their Innocence of Any
 Participation in Crime

MOUNT HOLLY, N. J., Dec. 1S.- Mrs. Doris Brunch and her brother, Harry c. Mohr, charged with the killing of John T. Brunch, circus owner, denied on the witness stand today that they had any part in the staying of the snowman.
 Charles M. Powell, confessed slay- CT, said he had shot Brunch as he sat at a window at his home on March one, at the instigation of Mrs. Brunch and Mohr.
 Sobbing convulsively, Mrs. Brunch said: "I have never in my live talked about killing my husband. I loved him."
 Mohr. who preceded the showman's s widow on the stand, made an em- phatic denial of Powells statement and the confession involving him in the shooting.
 T never urged, hired or suggested to Powell that he kill Brunch, and I never promised him money to kill him." he declared.
 When the trial re-opened today, counsel for the defense asked the court to dismiss the case against Mrs. Brunch on the ground that the state had failed to prove her either a principal or an accomplice of the crime. Justice Kalisch ruled that al though the testimony against Mrs. Brunch was scant. it was the jury's duty to pass upon her innonce or guilt Mrs. Brunch denied she ever called her husband a brute or that he was cruel to her except when he was intoxicated"

URGE SHELVING
 IF SHIP BILL
Norris Would Have Senate Lay Aside Bill and Take
 Up Farm Measure

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-Support- CTS of the administration shipping bill and members of an alliance between opponents of the measure and propon- ents of the Norris agricultural financ- ing bfll, struggled for dominance in the senate today without definite re- suits.
 The issue, which was before the senate throughout a six-hour session, was embodied in the motion of Sen the agricultural committee and a leader in the new progressive bloc, to lay aside the ship bill and to take up the senator's own measure to create a government capitalized agency to buy and sell farm products. The question was the subject of numerous conferences and several speeches.
 An attempt was made son after the session began to obtain unanimous consent for a vote, on the motion late tomorrow and appeared on the point of success, but wrangle over detail blocked the way. Renewed efforts are to be made tomorrow, with prospects fayoring a vote before adjournment.
 Demand that the shipping bill be laid aside was made during the ses sion by Senator Brookhart, Republican of Iowa, Senator Borah, Republican of Idaho, and Senator Fletcher, of Flor ida, leader of the Democratic opposi- tion to the measure. Senator Rans- dell, Democrat of Louisiana, in an hour speech, urged prompt passage of the legislation, while Senator Jones, Republican of Washington, in charge of it, stood firmly on his determina- tion to keep the bill before the senate until rural credits Legislation could be reported to the senate by the banking and currency committee. Chairman Mclean of this committee announced during the day that such action might be expected early next week.
 Senator Borah urged casting aside of the ship bill in favor of agricul- tural relief as a matter of justice, de- claring that ship subsidy can wait" until the next session of congress.

RUSSIAN ENVOY
 SCORES LEAGUE
Demands Proposals on Straits Question Be Considered to
 Which Refusal Is Made

LAUSANNE, Dec. 1S.-(By the As. sociated Press) - Organized impo- tence" was the definition which M. Tchitcherin, the Russian foreign min ister, gave of the league of nations during a heated debate between him and Lord Curzon this afternoon in a session devoted to the discussion of plans for control of the Turkish straits.
 "The United States, Germany and Russia do not recognize the league ,' said Tchitcherin. "The league Is not even able to control single Polish general in Wilma. It is unable to ac- complish anything in the Lithuanian dispute. What good are the guaran- tees of such an organization?
 Tchitcherin declared the allied pro- posals for the regulation of the straits were directed against Russia and put a premium on navalism and militar- ism.
 These proposals" he added, "are designed to separate Turkey and Rus sia- It is an allied scheme which of fers fallacious protection to Turkey, but grants passage of the straits to warships which would expose Russia's s south coast to attack. The project forces Russia to arm, and the guar antees are completely illusory for Turkey"
 Both M. Tchitcherin and Ismet Pa sha offered new suggestions concern ing control of the stralts. Ismet was mild, and accepted in principle most of the proposals made ly the allied power, but Tchitcherin was extremely hostile and demanded that the Rus. sian proposal should be considered at length by the sub-commission along with the new Turkish proposals.
 Lord Curzon denied this reouest saying it was impossible to continue the deliberations indefinitely. He as serted that concessions had heen made to the Russians by providing in the allied proposals.
