SAN FRANCISCO. March 27.-The
trial of 16-year-old Dorothy El1ing-
son. charged with the murder of her
mother, entered second definite
stage here today when the defense
and prosecution set themselves to the
selection of the twelfth juror. The
uncompleted jury now. consists OF
nine men and two women.
The defense yesterday indicated 1t
was satisfied with the jury as 1t
stood, and 1t was expected that to-
day the big battle, which will center
around the pallid girl, who is ac-
cused of shooting her mother to
death, will center on the degree of
her mental responsibility.
The defendant, despite the collapses
which have marked her appearance
in court, apparently was determined
to survive the ordeal today.

studies of wild herds it has been as
certained that reindeer can be In
creased in weight from $50 pounds,
the average of Alaskan herds, to- 900
pounds.
Another problem to be studied. is
that of lichens or reindeer moss, the
main food of the deer in Winter. It
now takes from Is to 80 years for a

discover a method of fastening the
growth or finding a substitute food"

Just at time when everything is
quiet in political circles, the rumor
persists that Secretary of War
Weeks will resign. Those who know
him well say that his health has been
seriously impaired by his recent ill
ness and that it would be physically
impossible for him to continue his Of
fetal work. Others say that the
present Secretary or some of his
minor executives have bungled the
proposition of national mobilization
in connection with the Armistice. 1t is
the current report that plans were
made by the War Department to
this end without consulting the Pres
/ ident, who, after all is the Command
er-in-Chief of the Army. Hence, the
resignation rumor. Meanwhile, poll
ticians are trotting out several local
candidates for the. portfolio.
Mr.. Coolidge has an unpleasant
controversy on his hand with open

gent and Huston Thompson have
Joined hands in dissenting with the
changes in the policy of the Com
mission as inaugurated by the ma
jority a few weeks ago. 1t appears
likely that the President may be
| obliged to clean house in order to in
! sure proper functioning of the Com
mission. He is proceeding rather
slowly in this matter as he has nc
intention of allowing Commissioner
Thompson to make himself "mar.
tyr" with the radical groups of the
country. Thompson has been the
storming petrol of this Federal agency
for number of years.
Inasmuch as tax reduction is i'm
mensely popular, there is a mad rush
for political credit in bringing about
| further cuts. One of the Republican
congressional authorities on taxes
has advocated reduction of at least
$40,000,00 with the possibilities Of
extending this to $200,00O,0OO OF
$400,000,000. Some of the Demo.
cratic tax experts plan to go one
better and cut the Treasury esti
mates. Some months must necessar
lily elapse before any concrete pro.
position can be advanced in the mat.
ter of tax revision. 1t is necessary
that the present revenues be used as
a guage for income tax rates.

WASHINGTON LETTER
ESPECIAL to Sank Centre Herald

Especial to Sank Centre Herald
Washington, May 20-President
Coolidge finds that one of his great,
est difficulties at present is to say
'.No" to many social and business re-
quests without offending the feelings
of we'll meaning citizens. His close
associates in official life say that he
cannot take vacation in the general
ly accepted sense for he must COM
bine the affairs of state with what
evere recreation he can obtain dur
ing the summer months. The fact
that Mr.. Coolidge is leaving Wash
ington for the summer colony in
Massachusetts, has been taken to
mean that his vacation begins at
that time. The contrary is true.
A White House official told the
writer that thousands of invitations
for addresses and social visits have
been received with the coming of the
summer months, all based upon the
assumption that the President would
then have time for such things. Of.
fcials say that despite the absence
of Congress, there has been no slump
in the amount of business at the Elk,
ecutive Mansion. His advisers have
urged the President to call a halt to
the present tendency of increasing
rather than diminishing his official
duties.
Those asking the President tt
speak at various functions do moi
realize the amount of work involved
in the preparation of addresses OF
this character. Utterances, especial.
ly when made officially, become mat,
tiers of history as they are recognized
as state papers. Naturally, it is
incumbent upon the President to ex-
ercise judgment and tact in public adj
dresses. Besides, any manuscript OF
any merit takes considerable time in
preparation. i
Meanwhile, the President must
carry out his regular duties as head
of the Nation, which calls for con-
ferences all during the business day
and frequently study of problems at
night. This program also will be fol"
lowed at the Summer White House,
for, under the Constitution, the coun-
try cannot be without an executive
even for a moment. The fact that
the President must decline invita-
tons may incur the displeasure of
many but that is one of the draw
backs of the office.
n
The most interesting place in Wash
ington today is small room IN the
Treasury Department where the Com
mandant of the Coast Guard main
tains headquarters. 1t is here that
the Government forces maintain their
board Of strategy along lines similar
to those used by the Navy Depart
ment during times of actual warfare.
The reason for this intensive activi-
ty is the Eighteenth Amendment and
the Volstead Act. Adopting many of
the plans used with success during
the late war, the Treasury Depart
ment is mobilizing its "dry" forces
with a view to blockading American
ports against rum runners. Estimates
have been made by responsible gov
eminent officials that hundreds of
millions of dollars will be needed
during the next few years to main
tain the blockade along the Atlantic
