slayer Of Pawnbroker Makes
Learned Argument to
Judge Leslie ON
Objection.
Questions His Captor

The man known at Otto Cole,
Who Is acting As his own attorney
IN his trial ~ district court ior the al
ieged murder OF Harry Hahn. Il4
south Tenth street. March *. wen,
calmly through a strenuous afternoon
Yesterday until nearly the closing
hour.
Cole declares he shot Hahn in self
defense.
No other trial here in reeen, years
has drawn such a crowd. Every
seat was taken and every available
spot OF standing room was occupied.
Abraham Bolkcr. proprietor OF the
Rex hotel. witness ior the state,
was being examined by County At
torncy Shotwcll. He started 10 tcs-
,ofy that Cole held him up in the
hotel at 5 the morning OF Febru-
AIRY ~.
Il objeetw shouted Cole, rising.
Argues Contested Point.
He proceeded to make a learned
argument TO Judge Leslie.
This is only an attempt to preju-
dice the jury against me-" he said.
II am presumed to be innocent until
] am proved guilty. | have never
even been charged with the holdup
now being injected into the testi-
mony."
what have you to say OF this
question, Mr.. Shotwcll?" asked the
Judge.
Only after the county attorney
had made lengthy argument did the
court ovcrrule the objection OF Cole.
Cole Takes Witness.
When the direct examination OF
Bolkcr was completed, Cole, the de-
iendant, shot his first question at
him swiftly:
DO you remember what you asked
me the first time we met when /
was guest at your hotel last De-
ccmber l7?"
NO" said Bolker.
How often has your hotel been
raidcd?" ..
Il don't know" N....
"And who is the person that used
10 call you from the station and
give you number, either 66 or 100
when a raid was planned?"
Never got any such calls was
the answer.
Victims Brother Called.
Cole showed no emotion when
earlier in the afternoon, he cross
examined William Hahn. brother
OF the victim Of the shooting. But
Hahn displayed some excitement.
What difference does it make if l
buy my goods from jobber or
bankrupts," he replied to one of
Coles questions. The judge warned
him to answer.
Hahn testified that his brother was
small man weighing only about
l27 pounds. This was brought out
to combat Coles plea of self-de-
tense. William Hahn kept a second
hand clothing and jewelry store at
4l8 South Tenth street.
From Max Fox, 4l6 l-2 South
Tenth street, Cole, by skilful ques-
tioning, drew the information that
Harry Hahn was, not an American
citizen.
He didn't sell revolvers for the
last five months because law was
made not allowing him to sell them
because he wasn't a citizen" said
Fox.
Shows Court knowledge.
The government doesn't issue
licenses to men to make moonshine
but they make it Just the same. don't
they?" said Cole.
When he was cross-examining
Isadorc Tesslar. tailor, 4l8 South
Tenth street, Cole showed further

Italy Is Reborn. Cry Veterans.

Rome.-The triumphant entry of Fascist troops into Rome was the apotheosis of Italy's blOOdless revOlu- tiOn. Old Romans who witnessed the entry of soldiers of the king of Italy into the capital of his newly welded kingdom on Sept. 20 1870, wept for joy and vowed that Oct. 31, 1922, will forever mark a great epoch in Italy's national life. For in 1870, they said, Italy was born; today she has been saved from BOlshevism.

San FranciscO.-Under strict inter- pretation of the laws or California, the St. James version of the Bible was held "sectarian" in a decision handed down by the District court of appeals, reversing a decision of the Fresno Su- periOr Court before which the claim had been advanced that it was not sec tarian, but "the book of all Chris tians."

OUTLINES VIEWS ON PEACE PACT WASHINGTON AGAIN DECLINES TO PARTICIPATE IN
 CONFERENCE. EXPLAIN US. ATTITUDE WILL SEND ONLY OBSERVERS TO
 THE LAUSANNE
 MEETING.

Washington-The American gov ernment, in notes delivered to the Brit ish, French and Italian embassies at Washington, formally declined to par ticipate in the Near East peace confer ence scheduled to be held in Lausanne, Switzerland, this month.
 Later, the state department made public this governments position on the conference as outlined in the "aide memOire" which was transmit ted to the three governments con- cerned through the American embas- sies at London, Paris and Rome.
 Reference to the "aide memoire" was made in the formal reply to the allied notes inviting participation, but which were not received by the state department until after the "aide memOire' carrying instructions re- garding the American view, had been dispatched to the American repre- sentatives in the three foreign capitals
 The formal replies, like the formal invitations, were directly worded and explained that the United States would send only observers to the Lausanne meeting, and added that that conference was primarily peace conference to end a war in which the United States was not a belligerent.
 The text of the "aide memoire" upon which the formal replies were based as fully setting forth the American at- titude, follows:
 "The conference proposed for the purpose of drawing up a treaty of peace with Turkey will have primarily to deal with the problems resulting from the state of belligerency be- tween the allied powers, Turkey and Greece The United States was neither at war with Turkey nor party to the armistice of 1918 and does not desire to participate in the final peace negotiations, or to assume responsibility for the political and ter ritOrial adjustments which may be effected.
 For the purpose of clarity certain subjects of particular American con- cern may be briefly summarized.
 "1 The maintenance of capitula- tiOns which may be essential to the ap- prOpriate safeguarding of nOn-MOslem interests.
 "2 The protection under proper guarantees of philanthropic, educa- tional and religious institutions.
 "3. Appropriate undertakings in re- gard to the freedom of opportunity without discrimination, or special privilege, for commercial enterprise.
 A Indemnity for losses suffered by Americans in Turkey as a result of arbitrary and illegal acts.
 "5. Suitable provisions for the pro lection of minOrities.
 "6. Assurances touching the free dom of the straits.
 "7. Reasonable opportunity for archaeological research and study"

The critical time of a woman's IifO usually comes between the years of 45 and 50, and is often beset with an- moving symptoms such as nervous ness, irritability, melancholia. Heat flashes or waves of heat appear to pass over the body, cause the face to be very red and often bring on head aclle, dizziness and sense of suffO- cation.
 Another annoying symptom which comes at this time is an inability Co recall names, dates or other small facts. This is liable tomake a woman lose confidence in herself. She be. comes nervous, avoids meeting strangers and threads to go out alone.
