 At any rate I believe I would rather be like Willie, a little ab- normal in mind, than to be like Mrs. Hall who is abnormal in her emo- tions.

 Timothy Pfeiffer can be compared to the stage manager of a big pro- duction, The leading man, the ! leading lady, the music and the lines all attract attention and publicity, but the fnan responsible for their success is usually dismissed with a few lines if any attention is paid to him at all.
 MT. Pfeiffer. it seems. is really the | man who is operating the defense for Mrs. Hall and her brothers. He is never heard in court, but he's all ways there-whispering Whenever Senator Case or MT. McCarter come to an impasse, they hurry over to Mir. Pfeiffer and he whispers some thing into their ears that seems to act like bracing tonic. If the de- fense is at all successful in this trial, 1t will be mainly because of Mir. Pfeiffer's brain and ingenuity.
 It was he who conducted Mrs. Halls affairs during the first inves- tigation-well, enough. it is said. so that it resulted in nothing more than empty talk and temporary oblivion. Just why he appears to be occupy ing the background this time, don't know, but I'm not misled by his ap- parent inactivity. l respect the cali bre of his legal brain too much and if any surprises are sprung by the defense it will be mainly because they were devised or unearthed by Mr. Pfeiffer.
 I think he is one of the brainiest men in the court room with the eX- ception of Senator Simpson, who oversh'a dows them all. l don't ad- mire MT. Pfeiffer-far from it--but in all fairness I think it ought to be conceded that he is the brains of the defense law group.

Upon all this evidence, he con- tinued. the government will ask the jury to find that the $1O0,000 pay ment from Doheny to Fall consti- tuted corruption and that there has been a conspiracy to defraud the United States government.
 The Defense Statement defense, Frank J, Hogan set a map of the Elk Hills field. showing other leases than those to Doheny's com pany as we'll as oil wells which. it is claimed, have been draining the government field.
 Hogan told the jury he would fill in many important facts which gov ernment counsel had not regarded it necessary to mention. After describ- ing the machinery of government handling oil matters. he turned to a description of his clients.
 We have as defendants here a man In his list year and another in his 65th year." he said. "The one is Edward L. Doheny, who has spent a private line the other is Albert B. Fall, who has spent the best years of his life In the public service"
 Hogan told Of the prospecting days of Doheny in the west and in Old Mexico, and of how he came to know Fall. then a prospector and later school teacher and lawyer. He traced Falls career through the senate and told of his becoming in- terior secretary in the Harding cabinet.
 Hogan pointed out on the map the oil sections in California controlled by the government and various oil companies.
 When Denby became secretary of the navy, he continued, officials of the department called his attention to the fact that Standard Oil com- pany wells were producing 5000 to 4,000 barrels a day, while govern ment lands remained unproductive. Thereupon. Denby called for bids, the attorney said. so that private en- terprise might lease and operate the government lands.
 There was, however, a prior claim to the Elk Hills region pending.
 When this situation was revealed, Hogan said, President Harding asked the interior department to investigate what should be done.
 Hogan said the executive order transferring the reserves to the in- terior department were found legal and after 1t was issued a strip of land in the Elk Hills field was leased to the Pan- American com- pany which was the highest and best bidder"
 "The Midland company had prior right in the field" Hogan said. adding that Fall got Doheny to give up some of the land won in open competitive bidding so that the Mid land company could get part of it and enable Fall to clear up the claim.
 Defense counsel told of the ap- pointment of Captain J. K. Robin son as officer in charge of naval oil reserves and of conference at which an oil reserve policy was out lined. This policy remained in force for more than a year, when Denby changed 1t by formal letter.
 That letter was written by Den by without any suggestion from Fall or anybody in his department" said Hogan. "Fall wrote that the policy was agreeable to him and he would carry it out 10 the best of his ability"
 Hogan said Captain Robinson was very anxious to develop the oil re- serves and store oil at Pearl liar bor, where it would be of service for the navy instantly in case of emer- gency.

GERMANY DEMANDS
 FULL WITHDRAWAL
Wants Inter-Allied Military
 Control Ended

Berlin, Nov. 23 P-Germany un- eauivocally demands withdrawal of the interallied military control com- mission, Foreign Minister Strese- mann declared in the Reichstag to- day.
 "We have proved our readiness to fulfill all the obligations arising from the Versailles treaty. said Dr.. Streeemann. Therefore we expect the other governments also to hesi- tate no longer and to draw the only possible conclusion from this situa- ton.
 It would be incompatible with our entry into the league of nations and the operation of the Locarno agreements to make the minor technical questions still at issue an excuse for burdening the German people with a psychological weight such as continuation of the foreign control commissions constitutes"
 Paris, Nov. 23 Enlargement has virtually been reached on the whole question of the control of Ger many's military strength, revision of which has been sought by the Berlin government since negotiation of the Locarno security pact and Germany's entry into the league of nations.
 The French expressed readiness to abandon their demand for perma- nent military control provided Ger many agreed to periodic control by government. 1t is understood, has shown willingness to accept this con- dition.

Stewards Washington Lette,
BY CHARLES p. STEWART
NEA Service writer.

WASHINGTON-Of all the senatorial
campaigns now on, the one in Mass
achusetts is the most important to
President Coolidge.
If his candidate for senator cant
carry his own home state next No
vember the presidential prestige will
suffer jolt there's little chance il
can recover from.
The defeat of Senator Pepper in
Pennsylvania, of Senator Mckinley in
Illinois, of Senator Cummins in Iowa
and of LIB. Hanna in North Dakota
were setbacks for the president, but al
least he was in a position to say, well
thev weren't particularly my candi-
dates
They were, in reality, but he wasn't
formally committed to them.
But Senator William M. Butler, in
Massachusetts, was his campaign man
ager in 1924, is chairman of the re-
publican national committee, figures
as the presidents personal spokesman
in the upper house of congress, and it's
in the presidents own birth state that
he's running.
Buffers renominated, but that was a
foregone conclusion. He had no oppo-
sition.
The job now's to elect him-no, not
re-e1ect him. He's been serving hith-
erto by appointment, as the late Sena-
tor Lodges successor. Now he goes to
the voters, which is entirely different
from being named by a governor.
The loss of any other state would
be about the same thing as a slap on
the presidents wrist compared with a
wallop from a pair of brass knuckles
if he loses Massachusetts.
