Defends Himself on Murder Charge Without Aid of
 Advisory Counsel

OMAHA, Apr. 1S.-Although evi- dence so far introduced has scored against him, Otto Cole, defending himself on a charge of first degree murder in connection with the shoot ing to death of Harry Hahn, Omaha pawnbroker, has not subpoenaed a single witness in his behalf. What he intends to do Is puzzle to the prosecution.
 Cole, who admits, the police say, that he escaped from the Joliet, Ills, penitentiary two years ago, cross-eX amined witnesses today.
 Cole said today that he would not deny he fired the shot that killed Hahn. This strengthened the belief of the prosecution that Cole will plead self-defense.
 Where Cole attained his eXperi- ence as an attorney or whether he has had any previous experience is not known here. He admits that his name is not Cole, but refuses to give other information about himself, eX- oept to say that he is a graduate of
 an eastern technical school.

WASHINGTON, Apr. 1S.--Although the American government is neglect ing no opportunity to inform itself of what is happening at Genoa, officials here betray no anxiety over the lat est developments as they affect Am erican interests.
 Upon the highest authority, it was said today that in the view Of the administration, the new treaty be- tween Russia and Germany means nothing to the United States. Unless later information convinces them otn- erwise, President Harding and his ad- Visers were said 70 accept the treaty at it's face value as a financial and peace settlement without sweeping political significance.
 On the basis of It's present advices, this government is declared to be or the opinion that nothing in the treaty conflicts with the separate peace treaty between the United States and iGermany, interferes with American Interests in either country, or materi- ally alters the status of Russia in the general world situation.
 The state department is said to be firm in its belief that the Soviet re- gime in Russia should not be recog- nized, but it is not disposed to ques- tion the right of another sovereign power to extend that rScognition, nor does 1t apparently expect that recog- nition by Germany alone will have any important effect toward giving Bolshevism a real standing in the fam fly of nations.
