NEW GOVERNMENT
IN BERLIN BACKS
DAWES PLAN TERMS
StreSemann Assures Pro-
gram viii Be Carried Out
Without Change.
By the Associated Press.

BERLIN, May 1S.-Foreign Minis
ter Stresemann announced today to the
Reichstag that the German govern
Dawes plan.
Minister StreSemann said no country
welcomes more than Germany the eff
forts of the Dawes plan to accomplish
the economic pacification of Europe.
He said even those who opposed the
acceptance of the Dawes plan are
convinced that without it Germany
would not have been able to establish
its currency on a secure basis, and
would have been obliged to wage a
bitter struggle for her economic exist
ence.
Herr Stresemann said: 1--WE shall
continue to carry out the Dawes plan
in the same manner as we have here
tofore. Parliamentary jorities and
governments may change, but l can
not conceive any administration which
would deviate from the program and
policies we have adopted"
He said Germany's relations with
the United States are most satisfac-
tory and all signs indicate that in the
United States a genuine understanding
of Germany's needs is increasing.
Takes Up Cologne Bridgehead.
Discussing the non-evacuation of
the Cologne bridgehead, Herr Strese-
mann said:
This injustice reminds us how far
we are still removed from normal con-
ditions of peace and how constantly
we are obliged to take some defensive
attitude against the intellectual orien-
tation and methods of wartime.
'In the final analysis it is not a
question of whether the Cologne zone
is evacuated in accordance with the
provisions of the peace treaty, but it
is a question of whether "A nation of
60 ,000.0 600 persons shall continu-
ously be denied the respect and equal
ity of their rights"

CHICAGO, May 18.-William d.
Shepherd went on trial today, charged
with the murder of his millionaire fos-
ter son, William n. McClintock, with
the prosecution indicating that 1t
would ask the death penalty.
Charles G. Faiman. head of a school
of sciences, indicted with Shepherd,
and who confessed that he instructed
the latter in the administration of
typhoid germs, and supplied him with
cultures, was granted a separate trial
on motion of States Attorney Robert
L. Grove, Faiman is slated to be the
States star witness.
The first two Veniremen examined
for possible jury service were excused
by the State after they said they had
conscientious scruples against imposi-
ton of capital punishment.
Both States Attorney Grove and
w. H. Stewart, chief counsel for
Shepherd, announced themselves ready
for trial when the case was called be
fore Criminal Judge Thomas J. Lynch.
Judge Lynch, in harmony with the
discussion by the judges of Cook
County of publicity in connection with
trials and the passage of a rule pro
hibiting the taking of photographs
in courtrooms, refused to allow type
writer's, telegraph or telephone instru
ments, as well as cameras, in the
courtroom.
Shepherd Is Pale.
Shepherd, himself a lawyer, was
pale when brought into the prison
er's dock. He was clean Shaven, but
his suit-showed lack of pressing.
Mrs. Shepherd hurried forward and
kissed her husband. She had intended
TO sit behind him, but was given a
seat across the aisle.
Shepherds first comments were
those of the lawyer rather than one
charged with crime. He inquired
whether the trial would be conducted
speedily and whether Judge Lynch
would be punctual.
Estimates of court attaches as to
the time TO be required to secure the
IL jurors ranged from days to
y weeks. ssIks.-,r1y---..s-,-.,
for on1y 140 spectators, was filed, with
crowd at the street doors of the crimi-
nal court building, but it was soon
dissipated by guards.
A special panel of 100 veniremen
had been summoned in addition to a
regular panel of 65 men.
Caught in the trail of disaster that
has followed the McClintock fortune
for generations, Shepherd is the last
titular owner of the $500, 900 legacy.
McClintock, a youth. who was the
ward of Mrs. Shepherd, had lived with
them 16 years.
Shepherd Charges Plot.
Shepherd countercharged that it
was a plot fostered by a dozen
cousins of McClintock to break the
will in order to come in for a division
of the fortune and thereby deprive
him of his inherited rights. He en-
tered an absolute denial of the 81
counts of the murder indictment.
States Attorney Grove will direct
the prosecution. 1t was indicated that
