THE unionist party meeting" as
Joseph Devlin described the discus

9racted a fun house. There was
much banter throughout the debate,
but bitterness was discernibie below
the surface between the "die hards''
and their unionist colleagues. John
som Hicks appealed to the conserva-
tive leaders to take command of the
conservative party as the country,s
greatest instrument for political good.
Austen, Chamberlain, the govern
ment leader who at an early stage
entered the arena, declared that the
government was anxious for a vote.
He twitted the die hards' on the de-
lay on introducing the motion. as

MEXICO CITY, April 5-Edward
L. Doheny president of the Mexican
Petroleum company, and other Off
cials who have been with him in
Mexico, left tonight for San Antonio,
Texas. Mr.. Doheny and his son will
proceed to Los Angeles tomorrow and
the remaining members of the party,
including Fl. G. Wylie. the vice presi-
dent. will go to New York.
There is nothing of interest that
can say for publication now said
Mr.. Doheny before leaving. I'VE
have thoroughly inspected our main
holdings and have found them in
good condition. Quite naturally, we
treated with Mexican officials while
here on matters which for the mo-
ment are best undiscussed in the
press. But I can say that our visit
has resulted most satisfactorily We
have met President Obregon and Mi
guel Alessio Robles, secretary of
commerce and industry"
Mr.. Doheny conformed the rumor
that the five petroleum operators
who came TO Mexico City last fall TO
discuss oil tax questions may soon
come to Mexico again. Mr. Doheny
said the matters arranged last Sep
tember were of tentative nature
and we may possibly find it neces-
sary TO have further conferences with

LANSING, Mich, April s. The
highest duty of nation is to itself
and to its own people and before
America can minister TO other nations
there must be health and prosperity
at home. Vice President Coolidge de-
clared tonight in an address before a
Republican gathering. The first
thought of the present administra-
ton, he added, has been of our own
country, of our own domestic well
fare"
The refusol of the United states to
diminish her sovereignty by becom-
ing a part of the treaty of Versailles
and the covenant of the league of
nations" left the natiSl free to de-
termine its own relationship to other
peoples and to manage its own in
ternal policies, the vice president de-
clared, adding that this has been the
great problem of the present admin
istration."
There has never been any doubt
that this country must recognize its
necessary relationship to other ma
tions, he said, but 'our own people
must be strong before they can
strengthen other peoples"
The White House has been opened
to the people, and approach to the
president has not been hindered. Mr..
Coolidge said. Communication be-
tween congress and the president has
likewise been open, frank and inclu-
sive, he added, and there has been no
coercion and no servility but strict
observance OF constitutional inde-
pendence, bred of mutual regard, re-
spect and confidence.

"The truth is,' the president
continued, ''the nation has been par
ticipating in a great liberal movement

NEW YORK. April 5--The case Of
Miss Olivia NJ. p. Stone, graduate
nurse. charged with numbering Ellis
G. Kinkead. Cincinnati lawyer, in
Brooklyn last August. will go to the
jury tomorrow. Both sides finished
heated summing up of their cases late
today and Justice AspinalI told the
supreme court jury that he would de-
fer his charge until in the morning.
Assistant District Attorney War
basse concluded an ADDRESS which
lasted almost three hours, by colling
upon the jury TO convict Miss Stone.
ITO prove that the law on murder
can be enforced against women as
well as men,
Judging by the past he said.
there is not much chance that you

God viii give you strength and cour-
age to bring verdict of guilty. be-
cause this case is not only Against
Olivia Stone-she a mere detail-but
it Is TO test the supremacy OF Amer
ican law"
Mr.. Warbasse dwelt at length on
the testimony OF DIR. Sylvester l. Ia
hey. alienist OF Brooklyn, after hear
ing a long hypothetical question, de-
clared it was his belief Miss Stone
was sane when she shot Kinl1ead.
mo alienist has been here to say
she wasn't sane insisted Mr. War
basse. Instead, the defense has
spoken of an explosion OF the brain.
They have declared she suffered
from emotional insanity. a name
which DR.. Lahey declared meant
nothing to him. The only disputed
evidence which has been offered is
that Miss Stone. when he shot Kin
kead, was sane"
During the afternoon Miss Stone
regaineA to some extent the COM
posure which she last when Edward
). Reilly, her counsed. made his APP
peal for her in the morning session.
But as the afternoon ended she had
her second fainting attack. and al
though quickly revived had to be
helped downstairs to the detention
room.
Mrs. Kinkead. widow Of the slain
man, also appeared stronger in the
afternoon. In the morning. under
attack by Mr.. Reilly. she had left the
courtroom weeping. but she returned

there for the rest of the afternoon.
For the first time during the trial,
she appeared in deep mourning,

how the officer fell.
County Attorney Forrest Hughes,
who devoted the day to investigating
the case, declared there were numer-
Gus points which don't jibe."
One of the points Hughes said he
was trying to check up, was the pos
sibility that a fourth persons might
have been in the Day home when
Beck was slain.
County Attorney Hughes declared
unless new evidence was brought out
throwing a different light on the
killing. his only recourse would be to
file either murder or a nlanslaughter
charge against Day.
No announcement came during the
day from M. f. Meadows, federal
prohibition director for Oklahoma,
who was making an investigation to
determine if the liquor laws had been
violated at the Day party.
Major Thomas George Lanphier,
head of military board appointed at
Fort Sill to investigate the staying of
Lieutenant Colonel Beck, came here
today in an airplane with Captain AL
exander Mileau, Jr., and conducted a
preliminary inquiry. The officers re-
turned to the fort late in the day.
The entire military board will fly
here Saturday to attend the coroner S
inquies, Major Lanphier said. When

report viii be forwarded - the ad-
jutant general OF the army at Wash

The body of Lieutenant Colonel

Thomas Lee WoolWine, district at

counsel for Burch. took a common at
titude that any irregularity should be
punished and were directed to pre-
pare affidavits on which to base con-
tempt proceedings against the inves-
tigators. One of the latter, Bert

and she overheard the conversation.
She said:

as a dog. He said by getting a con-
victing jury they intended to save the

she was unable to identify the man.

that he made the investigation.

reason. The president has pre-
sented his programs to congress. He
has given his views when asked. but
neither in an attempt to obtain legis-,
lation or secure the ratiff<ion of
treaties has there been any resort to
pressure. There has been a free
government. Jurisdiction over it has
been restored to the people.
If these who think the present con-
would cease their criticism long
enough to examine the record, Mr..
Coolidge said. they would soon find
they had beeS misinformed. A firm
foundation has been laid for the pro-
motion of prosperity, he added, ex-
planning that economic freedom had
been advanced by effective removal
of restraints of trade, and that also
there had been no officious meddling
of the government in private busi-
ness.
Economies have made it possible,
he said, to reduce government ex-
penditures from an actual outlay of
five and half billion for the past
year to an estimated outlay of three
and a half billion for the coming year.
This accomplishment, he added, has
had a remarkable beneficial effect,
has made possible the passage of the
revenue bill. which for the first year
it is in operation, he explained, will
reduce taxation by an estimated
amount of about $4,000, ,000, 900. The
costs of transportation already had
been greatly reduced and are being
further investigated for a general re-
adjustment and he asserted further,
"the prosperity of the nation, the
management of the business of the
nation has been restored to the peo-
pie
What had failed of accomplish
ment at Paris has been done in
Washington, Mr.. Coolidge declared,
adding that "our necessary relation

vealed. not as one of antagonism, but

Workers, established temporary
strike headquarters in New York
today to await the outcome of the
house labor committees invitation to
bituminous coal operators to join tpe

While awaiting further advice
from Congressman Nolan, chairman
of the house committee, Mr.. Lewis
hasten negotiations for settlement of
the anthracite strike through the
miners and operators sub commit
tee ON wage contract negotiations, in
session here. Referring to reports
from Washington that operators of
Ohio and Indiana already had sent
kilograms to Mr.. Nolan declining to
meet with the miners, Mr.. Lewis
said:
Always Willing to Negotiate
Il have not received any official
notification that the operators re-
fused the invitation. / can only re-
affirm our willingness to negotiate
with them at any time" Mr.. Lewis
appeared well pleased with the atti-
tude taken BY the congressman to-
ward his presentation OF the miners
case and expressed belief that the
workers had established their sim
cerity of purpose at the hearing in
Washington.
Our position remains unassail-
able he said. There also seems
to be sympathetic response on the
part Of the public to our efforts to
settle peaceably our controversy with
the operators"
He vigorously denied reports that,
unless the bituminous operators
agreed toa conference the union men
would withdraw from the collieries
all engineers, firemen and pump men
detailed to protect property while the
strike is on.
The strike, both in the bituminous
and anthracite fields. is effective 100
per cent, Mr.. Lewis said. Although
reports were too incomplete to indi-
cate to what extent the 100, 900 nom
union miners had joined the walkout,
he asserted the strike is rapidly be-
ing extended into non union terri
tory.
Miners delegates to the sub COM

today continued to present data in
support of their claims for 20 per
cent increase for contract men and a
minimum wage of $500 a day for
