SAN FRANCISCO, Calf, March 28.-
The trial of Dorothy Ellingson, 16 year
old matricide, will be resumed Monday
before Judge Harold Louderback, it
was indicated today after refusal Of the
district attorney to accede to the de-
fense proposal to enter plea of guilty
to manshlaughter charge on behalf
of the young woman.
The defense proposal. her counsel

of the girl repeatedly collapsing under
the strain of the public trial. Miss
Ellingson suffered eight fainting spells
during the first five days of the trial.
The district attorney remained firm
On his stand that anything less than a
murder charge would be inconsistent
and incompatible with the ends of JUS
tice.
The Ellingson girl shot and killed her
mother on the morning of January IS.
Shortly before the shooting, Mrs.
Ellingson had admonished the girl to
discontinue her visits TO the dance halls

that President Coolidge's arbitral award
in the Tacna-Arica dispute between
Peru and Chile is not acceptable and
will not be carried out by Peru unless

The demands, six in number, the ar

question had been received up to clos

professed to be in ignorance of such

action by the United States and include
the sending of American authorities and
forces into the disputed territory to
take the place Of Chilean authorities
during the holding Of the plebiscite, to

BERLIN, March 28.-Seven candidates
representing all classes in German post
war politics, will contend for the suf-
frage of more than 35,OO0,O0O votes at
tomorrow's first popular election for a
president to succeed the late President
Ebert.
Conflicting political currents, reflect
ed in the varigated list of aspirants,
have found ample expression in a veno-
nous manner in the campaign that
closed tonight, and which was fought
out for the most part on paper.
If the returns approximate those of
last December's election to the reich
stag, when there was party lineup
similar to that at this first presden-
tial election. the voting tomorrow will
terminate in dead heat.

But this number will not be sufficient
to insure his election.
The candidates of the three liberals,

Marx, centrist, and Prof. Hellpach,
democrat, will jointly poll about 10000
900 votes assuming that they are able
to retain their combined vote of Dec

lieved will be cast for thre remaining
candidates, Ernst Thalmann, commun.

Within 18 days after tomorrow's elec-
tion, nominations for the final balloting
on April 26 must be filed with the fed
eral commissioner of elections.
1t is now viewed as inevitable that a
new lineup of candidates
limited to two or three will figure en- the

will be forced in self defense to pool
their political fortune by uniting on
