johnson, who said he would be in
court at 10 o'clock today to receive
their decision if reached by that

No alternative finding was left to
the jury by Judge johnson, who in

daughter of the defendant, and one of

Final arguments were disposed of
speedily yesterday afternoon and
evening and the jury was given the
case at 9:45. p. m.
The closing pleas were preceded by
Judge Johpson's instructions to the
Jury-an order of procedure peculiar
TO Colorado criminal code. and by his
action in overruling defense motion

"a being born of woman is. human

no account of metaphysical doctrines, "
the judge ruled in his denial.
Both sides laid heavy emphasis on
the testimony as to the sanity Of the
defendant, but both also stressed argu-
ments for and against the "humani-

WORLD COURT ISSUE
GOES OVER WEEK.
Senate Committee Postpones
Its Consideration, Due to
Other Pressing Business.

The World Court question again
was submerged today before the
Senate foreign relations committee
and consideration of the several pro-
posals for American adhesion was
postponed until next Wednesday.
The committee occupied itself
instead with consideration of treaties
with the Dominican Republic and
Rumania.
Proponents are pressing for an
early report to the Senate, where one
proposal already is on the calendar.
Two Others Claim Attention.
Besides the proposal offered by
Senator Pepper, Republican, Pennsyl-
vania, for the creation of a new
court independent of the League of
Nations, two others have been ad-
vanced, one by Senator Swanson of
Virginia. ranking Democrat on the
committee, and the other by Senator
Willis. Republican. Ohio.
Both of these proposals contain the
reservations suggested by Secretary
Hughes and approved by both Presi-
Gent Harding and President Coolidge.
In addition. the Willis resolution en-
hodying the recent recomm ndation
of Mr.. Coolidge for a reservation
under which the United States would
not be bound by opinions of the court
on matters not voluntarily submitted
by the United States.
Even If the committee makes an
early favorable report, many Sena-
tors, including Chairman Borah,
doubt that there will be sufficient
time at this short session for Senate
action.

HOUSE TAKES VOTE
ON BANK BILL TODAY
Amendments Adopted on
Controversial Sections on
Branch Banking.

The McFadden banking bill con-
tinued before the House today, with
leaders determined TO press IL to a
final vote before overnight adjourn
ment, in order to permit consideration
tomorrow of the s39.o00,00o rivers
and harbors authorization bill.
The rivers and harbors measure,
originally scheduled to come up to-
day, was put over when slow progress
on the McFadden bill, due TO an un-
expected number of amendments Of
fered, prevented vote on it yester-
day
OF the dozen amendments proposed
to the banking measure, the three
adopted dealt with the controversial
provisions for branch banking by
national banks.
Postpone River Bill.
Consideration of the s3s.0o0,000
rivers and harbors appropriation bill
was postponed until Thursday when
the House late yesterday found itself
unable to reach a final vote on the
McFadden banking bill. This shift in
the legislative program allowed the
McFadden bill to be taken up again
today, with the leaders determined to
press it to a vote before the close OF
the session.
More than a dozen amendments were
offered yesterday, but only three-all
of them acceptable to Chairman Nc
Fadden of the banking committee, au-
thor of the bill--were adopted. Two
of them were put forward by Repre-
sentative NJ. D. Hull, Republican, Ilii-
nois, and the other by Representative
Stevenson, Democrat, South Carolina,
All of the amendments dealt with
the branch banking provisions, which
are designed to place national banks
on a better competitive basis with
state institutions by permitting them.
where State laws permit, TO esta blish
branches in the city in which the
parent bank Is situated.
One of the Hull amendments. which
was opposed by vote of i24 to 50,
provides that in any State which
hereafter enacts law legaHzing
branch banking national banks shall
not have authority TO establish
branches unless especially granted by
Congress.
The other Hull amendment, adopted
by viva voce vote, would deny
system to State banks establishing
enacted.
The Stevenson amendment stipulates
that national banks, in the event the
State in which they are situated re-
peals its branch banking law, cannot
proceed with the establishment of
branches under the bill.
Tho voting down of the amendments
opposed by proponents of the bill
strengthened the belief that votes
were in sight for passage of the
measure.

URGES HOME LOANS
BY S. TO WORKERS
Capital Man Favors 81 ,000,0 900 Re-
volving Fund for First
Payments.

The proposed rent control law was
opposed today in a letter to the
House District committee from F. g.
Campbell, 734 Eighth street.
Stating that he is not a resident
of the District, but that as an Amer
lean citizen opposes the conf1scation
of property as, he says. is proposed
in the new bill, he refers to MI
Whaley's testimony that the Rent
Commission allowed returns of per
cent, and protests that though he
is not a property owner in the Dis
trict this return is far too little.
His letter reads, in part:
There is just one way in which
the Government can legitimately
combat high rentals and that is d
way that l have urged for several
years past, both upon the President
and upon Secretary Hoover, with no
results. Make it possible for the gov
ernment employe to become a home
owner. A revolving fund of $1,000 900
will easily do the trick, at no cost
whatever to the Government. The
stumbling block of most Of the wage
earners is the initial cash payment
required for the purchase of a home.
If the Government employe could
secure an amortization loan upon rea-
sonable terms, there would be no rea-
son why most of them could not own
their own homes. II it is proper to
lend money to the farmer, l see no
reason why 1t is not proper for the
Government TO lend money to its own
employe for such purpose as this. If
necessary, let the Government build
the homes and sell them upon what
would be substantially rental terms
to their employees.
If this rent bill is passed there
will be strong suspicion throughout
the country that Congress was in
fluenced by desire TO insure cheap
rentals for its own members, and to
accomplish that end they adopted a
policy in the District of Columbia
that they would never have dared ad-

40 YEARS in ARMY,
QUITTING SERVICE TOMORROW
General Emerged From,
World War With No
table Record.
Led Counter attack on
Germans When Order
Came to Retreat.

The American flag has never been
forced to retire."
The author OF a phrase which will
go down In history as one OF the
proud traditions of the American
Army-Maj Gen. Robert l.. Bullard
WIZ close an active military service
OF ~ years tomorrow and retire to
private life
Something mere than six years ago
he was major gene raj commanding
the lst Division in France and. with
two French divisions. the troops were
hoidins the front at -Thierry
unoer the command of a French corps
commander The odds were heavy.
The enemy outnumbered the allies
ana their attacks made daily were
taxing heavy toll In life, while the
troops were under constant and heavy
artillery bombardment.
The French thought il best to re-
tire for strategic reasons. to a
stronger position. Gen. Bullard's s
troops were holding the salient, with
the French troops on either side. So
the french commander sent the order
to retire to Gen. Bullard.
Gen. Bullard knew the situation
was fraught with danger. But he
also knew the caiiber of his troops.
He replied with message which Is
troops of the LIST Division.
Refused 10 Retreat.
We regret being unable on this
occasion to follow the command Of
our masters the French. but the
American flag has never been forced
to retire. That Is unendura Bile, and
none of our soldiers would under
stand their being asked to retire, a
situation which Is humiliatfng to US
and unacceptable TO our countrys
honor. We are going to counter
attack"
Following that message, the Ameri-
can troops began a savage counter at
tack and carried the battle into ter
ritory held by the Germans, thus in
itiating the movements that effectu-
ally checked the German offensive on
the Marne. The result clearly justi-
fled the action of Gen. Bullard in ig-
noring the order OF his superior Off
GER, and the incident was dropped
without official investigation. Just
how the higher authorities in the
United States regarded the alleged
breach OF discipline, in view of all the
circumstances and the result, is shown
by the fact that shortly afterward
Gen. Bullard was elevated to the rank
OF lieutenant general.
Winner of Decorations,
Moreover, he was awarded the Dis
ttnguished Service Medal for his serv-
ices in command of the 1st Division

French Croix de Guerre, and was
