JUDGE PARKHILL HAS FISTIC
ARGUMENT WITH ATTY AT
TRIAL-JURY SEPARATES PAIR

Tampa, April 2S.-Members of the
jury and court officials separated two
members of the bar who engaged in
a fist fight in court this morning.
The engagement occurred between
State Attorney Parkhill and Attorney
Pat Whitaker during the trial of a
man for the murder of Henry Orig
gers. 1t came as the climax of a
series of clashes between the two
attorneys in the past few days.
You are a liar shouted Mr.. Park
hill when Whitaker protested to the
Judge that the prosecutor was inter-
rupting the examination of a witness
for some purpose of his own. Mr..
Whitaker rushed at the state attorn-
ey, they clinched and fell to the floor
and the jurymen jumped from the
box and separated them.
Both men were fined 500 for con.
tempt of court. Judge Robes adj
monished them TO have more respect
for the court and ruled that Judge
Parkhill was within his rights in
interrupting on the grounds that he
could not hear the witness speak.

LLOYD GEORGE
TRIES TO END
RUSS DEADLOCK
Not Neglecting Plans For
Non-aggression Pact
Wants International
Military Force for Pro-
lection of Weaker Ma
tions-Has Not Lost
All Hope of Accom-
plishing Something At
Genoa

Genoa, April 28.-(By the Associat-
ed Press. PLANS for Russia's recon
struction were being finally deter
mined today by the conference sub
commission on Russian affairs and the
indications that a definite proposition
would be laid before the Russian del
egation by the weekend with the sug-
gesticn that the proposition be either
accepted or rejected without further
discussion.
The Italian press today gives indi-
cations of what the Allied proposals
are.
First, it is asserted no loan will be
offered to Soviet Russia, but it will
be suggested that an international
consortium be formed to finance trade
with Russia through combinations of
firms and individuals of the various
countries represented. Germany will
be included in the con5ortium, it is
declared, and provision made that the
United States may join.
This plan contemplates the eco
nomic colonization of Russia, with
guarantees that the autonomy and the
sovereignty of the Soviet government
will not be infringed upon.
The division of trade will be ar
ranged in such a way that the coun-
tries participating in the consortium
will have the opportunity of dealing
with the sections of Russia situated
nearest them. For example, Great
Britain would be given the Opportun-
ity to trade with northern Russia
through Archangel and the Baltic
ports while the southern countries
would be given advantages in the
Black Sea ports.
In thus laying their cards on the
table the Allied leaders hope to put
an end to the present uncertainty and
clear up the Russian question, the
most important subject remaining be-
fore the conference. The document
is the result of deliberations partici-
pated in besides the British prime
minister by NJ. Barthou, for France;
VI. SchanZer, for Italy; NJ. Jasper for
Belgium, and Baron Hayashi for ia
pan.
An indication that the Russians will
insist on maintaining for the people
naturalization of property in Russia
one of the most difficult angles Of
the situation, involving as it does the
OWH0ISHIp VI pIOpSiI iIiSo CidiAiOu Dy
the nationals of the Allies and other
countries-even to the extent of with
drawing from the conference was CIV
en- in their statement of last night.
Russia has not the least desire for
a rupture" said the statement in part,
"but she is determined to safeguard
the people of the sovereign rights and
the principle of reciprocity, which is
the only possible basis of commun-
ity of people and economic reconstruc-
ton"
While bending his main efforts to
ending the Russian deadlock, Mr..
Lloyd George is not neglecting his
plans for a non-aggression pact, and
several tentative outlines of such a
document have been drafted. One of
these would provide an international
military force to protect weak nations
from aggressive neighbors, but this is
understood to have small chance of
adoption.

SAYS DOCTOR

Montrose, Va, April 2S-Roger D.
Eastlake, jr., aged nine, took the
stand today to testify in the trial
of Miss Sarah L. Knox, Baltimore
nurse charged with the killing of the
lake, last September at Colonial
Beach.
Montrose, Va, April 2S.-Much time
was consumed with argument by op-
posing counsel over the competency
of the boy to testify, but after Judge
Chinn had personally interrogated
him regarding his appreciation of an
oath, he was permitted to proceed.
Young Eastlake told his story in
straightforward, manly fashion but
when he had finished, little had been
added that has not already been testi
fed to regarding action of those who
have been accused of the crime on the
morning of the murder. He said he
was awakened on the morning of the
murder, by his young sister Margaret
who was crying. He said that he went
to her couch in the living room to
comfort her and while there saw Miss
Knox approach his home. The child
said that at approximately the same
time the nurse called to him and
asked if he had heard his mother
cry for her.
Il told her had heard no one CALL"
he said.
Asked to give the time he was
awakened the boy said thai he judged
it was between the hours of and s
o'clock.
81 can't tell exactly" he said, but
l know the sun had commenced to
rise about the horizon and would say
it was between the hours I have men,
toned. 1t might have been 5:15. $50
or 6 o'clock. | know father always left
about $50 and | didn't see him that
morning.
The child said that after he had
dressed he tried to enter the room
where he thought his mother must
be but could not get the door open.
He said further he saw Miss Knox
leave the house, empty pan of water
in the yard and return to the house
with the pan.
Roger testified also to the arrival
of VIM. Carrouthers, E. P. Drinks and
others and then declared soon after
he was taken with his sister to the
home of Mrs. Hugh Goyt, where he
spent the remainder of the morning
In answer to questions by Common
wealth Attorney Mayo, the child said
that while he was at the home of Mrs
Goyt his father came and asked him
if he had heard any pistol shots.
81 told him | had not" testified
young Eastlake.
Questioned further regarding the
actions of his father, the witness said
that he rushed from the Goyt home
and ran like mad bull" to his own
house. The child also said that his
mother was afraid of fire arms and
never owned a pistol, but that his IA
ther kept a 44-calibre revolver for
protection as he worked sometime on
guard duty at night.
Cross examined by Harry M. Smith,
Jr., counsel for the defense, the boy
freely admitted that Miss Knox had
always been very good to him and his
sister, that she had frequently been
with the family during the past five
years, and had helped his mother on
many occasions when any of the fam
lily were sick. He said further that
the nurse had given him and his sis.
ter many presents.
Counsel for the defense questioned
the witness at length as to the time
he got up but the boy stuck to his
story, that it was between 5 and
o'clock.
