PHOENIX, April 23 (P9.-Joe Causey,

Hohstadt took fourth place in the

place in the high hurdles. The Doug

Douglas high school took third place
in the Greenway field day meet for
the high schools of the state with 20
points. Phoenix took first place with
Al points and Tucson placed second
with "a to her credit.
Although third place in the high
school classfor the state is considered
pretty good by some high school stu
dents here, the generally expressed
opinion of the majority of the student
body was that Douglas should have
taken second place in the high school
competition.
Joe Causey holds the state high
school record for the pole vault and
broke his own record at the recent
high school meet held at Tempe. Stu
dents here also called attention to the
fact that Causey did better at the
Tempe meet in the pole vault than he
did yesterday at Phoenix.
Hohstadt, freshman, was expected to
make a good showing in the 220 and
24O yard runs.
Wright, senior, generally runs well
in the one half mile distance. His
failure to place in this event at the
Greenway meet is another thing that
it puzzling Douglas high students.
Cummins, junior, is considered a
strong man in the high hurdles. Many
thought he would take first in this
event at the Phoenix meet. Wright
also is a good weight man. His failure
to appear in the results for this event
is disappointing.
Causey, Hohstadt, Cummins, Wright
Maloney, McKinnon and Powers were
the seven men taken to Phoenix from
here. They were in charge of Coach

ACQU|TTAL BARRED
AS REMUS VERDICT
Judge Deals Blow to Defend
ant in Instructing Jury
as Trial Ends.

BY the Associated Press
CINCINNATI, December 20.-George
Remus' murder trial for Staying his
wife was given to the jury at 12:49
pm. today, five weeks and two days
after it began, November IA.
Remus seemed nearly overcome
when he realized that Judge Chester
r. Shocks charge had denied him the
opportunity for an outright acquittal.
He dropped his head forward on his
hand which held a handkerchief,
with his elbow upon the counsel table
from which he had directed his own
defense. He stared at the t1ool, with
flushed face and jaws grimly clinched.
Jury Retires to Deliberate.
The thirteenth or spare juror i'm
mediately was dismissed and the jury
retired and began deliberation.
Under the terms of the charge ac-
quittal upon the sole ground of in
sanity was the best Remus could hope
for, with direct punishment ranging
from a finding of guilty of man
slaughter, with l to 20 years imprison-
ment, to death in the electric chair.
Acquittal upon the sole ground of
insanity would throw the case into a
sanity hearing to determine Remus'
present mental status.
Remus was returned to Jail to
await the verdict of the jury.
The jury had reached no decision
at 1:25 pm. and was sent on a lunch
con recess until 2:45 pm
The response for the jury to Judge
Shocks query concerning possibility
Of verdict was made by Harry Byrd,
salesman, chosen as juror No. 8, in
dicating he had been selected as fore
man of the jury.

WALSH WILL PUSH
UTILITY MEASURE
Senator Serves Notice on
Committee That He Wants
Action on Finance Plan.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE

Senator Walsh of Montana does not
| intend to allow his resolution on the
| financing of public utility companies
to slumber and die in the Senate com
mittee on interstate commerce. He
served notice today on Senator Wat
son, chairman of that committee. OF
/ his desire to be heard. And, if shortly
after the first of January no report is
| forthcoming from the committee, Mr.
! Walsh intends to move to discharge
| the committee from consideration OF
the resolution and have a general de
| bate on the floor of the Senate.
The only question which the com
mittee on interstate commerce has to
decide" he said. 'is whether there
is Fedral jurisdiction for such an in
quiry as l have proposed. All one
has to consider is that the securities
OF these public utilitiek have been and
are being sold as interstate business
through the mails and otherwise. We
have the right to inquire into whether
these securities are or are not what
they are represented.
Holds Vote IncOnclusive.
The Montana Senator added that the
vote on Monday in the Senate was in
conclusive. as several Democratic Sen
ators were absent. Also. he declared
that some of the Democrats who voted
to refer the matter to the interstate
commerce committee had assured him
they favored the investigation itself.
In other words. the issue in the Senate
on what committee should consider
the resolution was not sharply drawn,
Ia, into Of lch
Chairman Watson. in his speech. in
Dictated that it would not be possible to
consider the Walsh resolution until
after railway consolidation had been
disposed of. This was Interpreted TO
mean a long delay and possibly no ac-
ton by the committee at all. This lis
why Mr.. Walsh will move for the dis
charge of the committee if it does not
bring in a prompt report.
UnfavorabIe Report Likely.
The committee itself probably will
| report the resolution unfavorably. but
that gives an opportunity to line up
those who favor and those who do not
favor an investigation.
In order to emphasize the impor.
! lance of the whole question and to
give Senators thorough understand.
will mean when the issue is drawn on
a motion to discharge the committee
it is the plan of Senator Walsh and
others on his side to present some
facts to the Senate bearing on the
whole public utility situation.
In fact. it is learned that Clifford
Pinchot. former Governor of Pennsyl.
vania. has collected a great deal OF
data which he will place in the hands
of the Senate for debate.
Instead Of having the inquiry by a
special committee, the chances are
that the entire attention of the Senate
will be occupied with the question after
the 1st of January. Then if the reso-
luton is defeated, the debate will be
terminated. If the resolution prevails.
the taking of testimony by a special
committee will begin.
