ON BOULEVARDS

PARIS, July 27. - manifestation
which for time assumed serious pro-
portions today was staged in the
streets leading to the Bourbon palace,
where the chamber of deputies was in
session, by government employees and
communists. SO terrified did the cafe
proprietors become on the Boulevard
st. Germaine where the crowd was
most densely packed that they shut
up their shops and pulled down their
shutters. Their fear or clashes, how
ever was not borne out since the
demonstrators were finally dispersed
after several minor incidents. AL
though the government had forbidden
demonstrations, state employees sought
to enter the chamber to present their
salary grievances. The employees were
augmented by crowds OF communists,
who sang the "Internationale." Mu
nicipal police and a mounted republ-
can guard threw a solid Gordon across
the Boulevard st. Germaine and kept

GIVE CONFIDENCE VOTE
(By Dispatch A. + Wire)

PARIS, July 27. = The chamber or
deputies today voted confidence in M.
Poincare and the new government On
his declaration of policy, the premier
received a vote of 35S to 131, the
largest any French cabinet has re-
ceived since the 1924 elections.
M. Poincare then won second vic
tory, 418 to 81, on his demand that his
bills for financial restoration be re-
ferred to the finance committee Of
the chamber and that the committee
be instructed to report them out for
Fridays session.
The national union character of the
new ministry was never better illus
trated than when Poincare, Herriot
and Blriand, sitting in that order from
left to right listened impressively to
the extreme left onslaughts on their
political careers, and then exchanged
smiles, knowing that their majority
was assured in advance.
The new procedure in the chamber,
restricting deputies in interVentions
which was adopted just prior to M.
Poincares accession to the premier
ship, worked magically and allowed
the house to adjourn at $3.50 p m.

PHOENIX, July 27. The state
s'put it's cards on the table" when the
preliminary examination of Mrs.
Gladys Lane on a charge of first
degree murder growing out of the
1atal shooting o. Or. John F. Reed,
optometrist and jeweler, on the

efforts to build a case against the
woman of sufficient strength to war;
rant holding her to answer to the
superior court. The examination, like
that of her husband last Saturday,
was conducted behind closed doors
on motion of defense counsel. There
were three outstanding developments
in the presentation of the states
case which had not heretofore been
disclosed.
First of these was the introduce
tion of testimony showing that Mrs.
Lane had made several calls Friday
in search of an apartment The
second was testimony of Eddie Col,
Inns, police sergeant, that he had
found one vertical hole throgh the
floor of the room where the shoot
ing occurred. The third was that
Reed had left his revolver in his car
when he entered the Lane apartment.
Introduction of the states case con-
sumed practically the entire court
day and it was late in the after
noon when the defense took up the
cross examination of witnesses. Ad-
journment was taken at 5:15 o'clock
until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
That the defense will endeavor 20
secure the release of Mrs. Lane in
the justice court was indicated
through the issuance, of subpoenaes
of nearly dozen witnesses. 1t is
not expected that the hearing will
be concluded before tomorrow after
noon.

AMADOR ADMITS
ASSAULT UP ON
PETEET GIRL.
(By Dispatch A. P. wire)

TIJUANA, Lower California, Mexico,
July 27-Luis Amador, Tiajuana sa-
loon keeper admitted in court here to-
day that he attacked Clyde Peteet,
American girl, who visited his resort
last February with her sister, Audrey,
and their parents. The saloon keeper
was the first of four defendants
charged with criminal assault upon the
girls to take the witness stand.
AS soon as the jury had been sworn,
Amador, under direction from the
court, walked before the jury, calmly
folded his arms and told his side of the
story that became public last Feb
ruary, when the Peteet family, consist
ing of the father, Thomas M. Peteet,
his wife, and two daughters, ended
their lives in a suicide pact at San
Diego. He testified that the family
had visited the saloon where he was
employed, and that after drinking the
father sought introduction to Chief of
Police Llanos one of the defendants.
Amador said he danced with Clyde Pc
teet, who later asked him to take her
home, as her father was intoxicated.
He took her to hotel W here the as
sault is declared to have taken place,
but denied any resistance by the girl,
who he said, was slightly intoxicated.
The court also asked Amador if he
was aware of the fact that witness
was expected to testify later that Clyde
was so remorseful over her relations
with him that she threatened to slay
herself. Amador shrugged his should
ers, indicating he did not know of it..
It was announced that five witnesses,
including a doctor, Jack Emery, bar
tender; Juanita KiZer, a restaurant
owner; Jack watkins, and Miss Nc
Garvie, an entertainer, were expected
to testify for the defense
Refugio Alvarez, bartender in Anna
doris saloon, corroborated testimony of
Amador as to the actions of the family
during their stay here. His testimony
was in refutation of statements made
by San Diego physicians, who conduct
ed post mortm examinations, regard
ing the physical condition of the girls.
