Was 21 Years Old and Had Fought 34 Bouts as Amateur and Pro.-Op- ponent Held in s1,OOO Bonds on Manslaughter Charge.
DIDN'T UNDERSTAND | MANAGERS WARNING

Hartford, Conn.,, Dec, IA R Charles Pegulihan, French nght- heavyweight. died at St. Franci. hospital early today following his ring fight with Elmer Friedman of Boston at the state armory las. night. It was his first fight In this country. Friedman was held by tho police.
 Opponent Is Held
 Al Friedman, Boston pugilist. was today ordered held in bonds of s1,oOO by Judge George H. Day in the Hartford police court on q charge of manslaughter growing out of the death of Pegulihan.
 Friedman was not represented in court by counsel appearing with his manager, Charles c. Cotter. The case was continued to December a pending an inquiry by Coroner J. Gilbert Calhoun. The court room was well filled when the case was called, sport writers and sportsmen from all parts of the east predomi- hating.
 First Fight in U. S.
 Pegulihan came to America early in September. The Hartford fight was his sixth professional engage ment, and the first in America. He had fought in 2S bouts as an anna teur, winning 24 of them. He was accompanied to American shores and to Hartford by his manager and trainer. Robert Eudeline. His home town was Pau, in the southern part of France. though his fighting headquarters were in Paris. His father, Louis Pegulihan, is proprietor of gymnasium and swimming pool in Paris.
 Pegulihan was 21 years old, and besides his parents leaves a brother and sister.
 Didn't Understand English
 His inability to understand Eng fish probably cost the Frenchman both the fight and his life.
 Pegulihan had the fight 'in tho bag" but lost out in the final round. He had stored up such a de- cisive margin over Friedman that only a knockout would turn the tide in favor of the Boston battler, and it was just such a possibility that Al Cipriano, in the French- mans corner wanted to avoid. Knowing that the boy from Paris had the fight well won, Cipriano tried to tell him to "stall' through the eighth round and keep outside the range of Friedman's punches, contenting himself with using his left. It vas his lightning-like left which had worried Friedman through the five early rounds, in which Cipriano calculated would carry the youngster through. The French youth seemed totally un- able to understand the instructions. however, faced Friedman. tired by his own efforts, and took three punches solidly delivered to tho body.
 Out on His Feet
 Cipriano unrestrainedly gave way to his emotions today as he dis cussed the fight. Charley was out on his feet" he said, in reviewing the final round of the fight, an opinion entertained by sport writ- CTS and speculators alike who wit- messed the go. In the eighth, F>ried- man delivered a blow in the stom. ach just under the heart, and fol- lowed this with two which landed on the hips.

 Condemnation Of Accused
MAKES IMPASSI0NED PLEA
Asks Each Juryman Pointedly If He Believes Doheny Is . Crook Maintains $1OO,0OO Note Was Only Loan.

Washington, Dec. IA Pt-The de- fense began today it's final attempt to beat back the tide of prosecution argument in the Fall-Doheny oil conspiracy trial.
 With every prospect that the case would be in the hands of the jury by sun-down tomorrow. a succession of defense attorneys were allotted a six-hour period in which to tell the jurymen there was no taint of guilt in Edward L. Doheny's loan of $100,000 to Albert B. Fall, while Fall was in the cabinet and before Doheny was awarded the lease to the Elk Hills oil reserve.
 Except for a half hour at the opening of court, during which Owen J. Roberts, for the govern ment. completed the prosecution ar- gument begun yesterday, the de- fense was given all of today's session for their replies.
 Roberts Repeats Charge
 Roberts repeated the charge that the s100,0o0 was part of a conspir- acy to defraud the government.
 Fall knew that this s100,000 loan was dirty business" said the prosecutor. Fall told the senate committee in a letter written on Christmas day, 1923, (two years after the loan was made) that he never had approached Doheny in connection with the loan.
 And what has been the essence of the defense case? To excuse, explain-and forget"
 He also asked the jurors to con- slder that Joseph J. Cotter, vice. president of Doheny's Pan-Ameri- can company. and Doheny's con- f1dential agent in the oil negoti- ations had not been called to the witness stand.
 Important Man Not Called
 "Cotter was the one man who knew all the angles of the case. He was in these negotiations from May 1921 until December 1922. He talk ed with the navy officials, the in- terior department officials, he went to Hawaii, to New York. Washing ton, Three Rivers, N. NJ, (Falls home), Los Angeles-Cotter was ev- erywhere-and he sat within 20 feet of this witness stand for days anG was never called to the stand" Frank J. Hogan, chief counsel fo1 Doheny, was the first of the defense lawyers to take up the argument He denied directly Roberts charge that any wrongdoing attended the s100,000 transaction, which he de- scribed as nothing but loan given by Doheny to his friend of thirty years standing.
 Calls Charge Slander.
 The defense chief then described Roberts closing statement as "an argument of islander and character wrecking."
 "Gentlemen of the jury" he said. "a man in that position is on secure ground. The law leaves you without a remedy. In court the counsel is beneath the protective mantle of the law, there is no remedy in law, and

ReVamped McNary.HauSen Measure Would Work to Sta-
 bilize Five Basic Commodities
SURPLUS CONTROL PLAN
 EXPLANATION DECLARES
Measure Which Is Introduced By McNary Himself Is Explained As Designed To Facilitate the Hand- ling of Surplus Crops and Pro- tect Standards of the American Farmer.

, ssAAA-S~'
 Washington, Dec. IA RIThe battle over farm relief legislation was reopened today in the senate when the famous McNary-Haugen bill, revised in an effort to win nec- essary support, was introduced by Chairman McNary, of the agricul- ture committee.
 Through it's presentation. farm relief advocates. who have been awaiting a vehicle of debate, from now on will be in a position to press their cause whenever the opportun- ity presents itself.
 Described By McNary
 The measure, which is designed to facilitate the handling of surplus crops, was described by Senator Nc Nary as necessary to improve the condition of the American farmer and to protect his standard Of llv- ing.
 Tt combines the plan for stablliZ- ing five basic commodities, he sald Cotton, wheat, corn, hogs and rice through the use of a stabillzatlon trust drawn from each with credit plan for stabilizing all farm con- modities insofar as it can be done through the wide extension Of credit to cooperation. It is not in any par ticular a price fixing device or plan.
 For Surplus Control
 "The bill is essentially a surplus control bill, the sole aim being to stabilize prices through control Of the surplus. For that purpose, separate 'stabilization fund is pro- vided for each of the five basic commodities. These stablllzauon funds are to be drawn from the marketed units of each commodity and are to be employed in dispos- ing of the surplus by cooperatives, or by persons engaged in processing such commodities.
 NO public funds may be used directly in effecting such controls but loans may be made from a re- yolying fund of 100000 to the several commodity stabilization fees all such loans to be repaid with interest. The federal farm board which would be created by the bill will not itself buy or sell anything on it's own account.
 Prices Arc Omitted
 "All reference to price levels and price standards are omitted. The aim is to provide funds drawn from each commodity to be employed in stabilizing the market for that con- modity by sound commercial meth ods."
 The federal farm board would have a nominating committee chos- en by farm organizations, to make nominations to the president for membership of the board. Non- salared commodity advisory coun- sel for each commodity would be . (Continued on Fourth Page)

BITTER WINTER IS BLOWING EASTWARD Deaths, Traffic Blockades and
 Suffering in the West COLD THWARTS BANDITS
At Woonsocket, Y. D., Robbers Fail to Find Loot In Two Stores Meantime Auto Freezes And They Flee, Abandoning That.

Chicago. Dec. IA F)-Bitter win- ter swept into the eastern half of the country today from western states struggling in the grip of zero weather and deep drifted snows.
 Swirling winds bore the cold wave across the Mississippi valley and flung 1t in broad fan that brush ed the Atlantic seaboard and reached to the Gulf coast.
 Normal Life Halted
 Normal life came to a virtual standstill in the northwest, and down into the central states trains were running behind schedule, schools were closed and crippled communi- cation told of a mounting death toll. Blizzards and winds of near-gale velocity played havoc with the air mail.
 Extreme temperatures handicap ped efforts to loose the hold of the heavy snows, and the weather bu- lreau promised little relief for at least two more days. In Montana, Wyom- ing and Colorado the mercury drop ped to 30 below, the southwest shiv- cred In below freezing weather and temperatures lowered about zero in midwest thermom meters.
 Cold In California
 California reported cold but not severe weather. Smudge pots were mounted about the fruit groves. and motorcycle riders watched the ther- mometer. ready to ride with a warn ing when the mercury approached the danger point. Ranchers in the plains states were warned to pro- itect their livestock from the weather.
 In western Wisconsin several towns were dark last night through inability to repair broken electric power lines, and water supplies pumped by electricity, were in grave danger.
 Much Suffering There was much suffering In the big cities. At Chicago, where an unofficial reading at 1 a. m., was three degrees below zero, half hun dred families were driven to the streets by fires, most of which were attributed to over-heated furna res ] and stoves. In the IS hours end ling at midnight, S2 fire alarms were answered.
 Locomotive Stalled ] Outside Minneapolis, a locomotive stalled in the drifts and passengers struggled a mile afoot to shelter. One of the coast guardsmen laboring to free car ferry stranded on the rocks off Milwaukee collapsed.
 Eight persons were dead in the wake of the northwest's storm, four deaths were counted in the plains states and two men were frozen to death in the heart of the corn belt.
 At Woonsocket, s. D., old man winter played policeman, and .thwarted the plans of thieves who broke into two stores. After failing to find any loot in a safe the rob- bers found their automobile radiator frozen and were forced to flee afoot.
 Throughout the entire western portion of the United States the snowfall was unseasonably extensive both as to depth, as much as ten feet in some places, and as to area covered. In western Canada the blizzard which began Sunday night was called the worst since 1907. and Alaskans were alarmed for the safe- ty of residents of the Aleutian islands, where even the three radio stations have not been heard from since the blizzard began.

The great Apache uprising in
1920, put stop to mining for
many years. During Spanish oc-
cupation military posts were estab-
lished throughout the region, and
strong patrols of troops protected
roads, mining camps, missions and
settlements. Withdrawal of
troops to join the unsuccessful
efforts to put down the revolu-
tion Of 1810,20 left the region
without protection, and the mur-
derous Apache was left to work
