Second, the service of Fall as a
aifhtful public officer.
Third, the policy Of retaining oil
in the ground for the future needs
of the navy and,
Fourth, the policy of competitive
bidding in leasing public oil lands.
In undertaking to convince the
jury of these things, he said, evidence
would be adduced as to secrecy at
tending the leasing negotiations and
that Fall came into possession of
Liberty bonds of high value immed-
lately after the negotiations with Sin
clair were completed.
Roberts laid emphasis upon the
liberty bond transactions. He said
that of 100000 of sue hbonds which
represented part of the dividends OF
the Continental Trading company,
Ltd, of Canada, 100000 worth reach
ed M T. Everhart, Pueblo, Colo,
banker and Son-in-law of Fall.
Asserting that only four men, James
E. O'Neil and H. M. Blackmer, now
residing abroad; Robert w. Stewart,
chairman of the board of the Mid
west Refining company, and Sinclair,
participated in the profits of the pur-
chase and sale of oil by the contin-
entail company, Roberts said the gov
eminent would prove that only one
of them, Sinclair, had any dealings
with Fall.
Moreover, Roberts asserted that the
1926 900 in liberty bonds which adj
mittedly Sinclair sent to Fall after
the latter retired from the cabinet
were of ''the same kind" as those
passing through the Continental
| Trading company.
| Littleton, former member of
congress and an orator of wide repu-
tation, had only fairly launched him
self into the presentation of the
| defense's case when court was adj
! journed until tomorrow.
He asserted that the defense would
prove that there was no such thing
as a policy of the government to
keep oil under the ground and that
while the government would present
only one part of the picture in the
case the defense would supply other
part necessary to complete whole.
Combating the claim of the gov

control of the reserves for his de-
partment Littleton said it would be
shown concluSively that the idea OF
turning over administration of the
reserves to the interior department,
originated with Edwin DENLY, then
! secretary of the navy.
AS to the now celebrated Christmas
conferences between Fall and Sin
clair at the Interior Secretary's New
Mexico ranch in 1921, Littleton said
it would be shown. that this had to
do with drilling in Usage Indian
: lands in Oklahoma, lease for which
one of Sinclair's companies had OBJ
tanned, and that it had nothing to
do with Teapot Dome
| Adverting to the secrecy which the
government alleges surrounded the
| whole negotiations between Sinclair
and Fall Littleton indicated that it
would be shown that this was pressed
for by the navy and not the Interior
Department and that the oil leases
involved an important question OF
national defense.

ti0ns from the spectators, as
these might cause an upflaring
of racial feeling inimical to
justice.
Peering intentIy at the lawyers
and judges, Schwartzbard went
through the early part of the
Interrogation with difficulty, find
ing the French at his command
almost insufficient for his replies.
Then SchWartzbahr rose to tell OF
his crime. He described in minute
detail the trailing of his victim. He
told Of carrying a photograph OF
his victim elect and of comparing
it with the features of men he met.
He related how he encountered Gen
eral Petlura in the Latin quarter
many times but always with his
wife and daughter or friends. Fin
ally, on May IS, 1926, he met him
at the corner of the Rue Raciene,
and the Boulevard Saint Michel,
alone.
AS he rushed along, describing the
incidents of the trailing and the
encounter with General Petlura his
voice rose to pitch of eXultation
that caused gasps of establishment,
the spectators being swayed to for
getfulness of the courts order for
silence by the pictures SeFWartzbard
caused to dance before their eyes.
Then, with his head tilted back
ward, his face cleaning with boyish
joy, he related the last moments Of
General Petlura's life.
Here my chance thought Are

not answer, simply lifting his heavy
i cane. I knew it was him shot once,
twice, three, four, five times. He fell.
The crowd rushed in on me. My
only worry was might have killed
the wrong man. When a policeman
told me it was Petlura threw my
arms about his neck in joy
~ this point, Schwartzbard who
had been gesticulating and demon
strating his crime, threw his arms
about the neck of the gendarme sitting
beside him
Schwartzbard denied that he had
accomplices, saying his crime was the
result of his own conviction that Gen
eral Petlura was the instigator Of pro-
grams in Wlliche thousands of So
racialists were killed. He denied that
Petlura had begged for mercy, as wit
nesses had testified He also denied
that he shot General Petlura after
the latter had tumbled on the road
way.
He described, with narrowing de-
tails. The pogroms in Ukralnla, say
ing he had heard them by word OF
mouth from witnesses. He MAINTAIN
ed that General Petlura was chiefly
responsible for the pogroms, since at
the time they occurred General Pet
lura was the head of the Ukralnlan
state army.
Rocking backward and forward while
seated, in the manner OF orthodox
Jews chanting prayers in the syna-
gogues, his eyes closed, Schwartzbard
told of the pogroms of several cen
turtles, in which Polish Catholics as
wei as Jews were the victims. 1t was
to ayenge the latest of these, he said,

Extra Girls
Continued From Page one)

Ninety-eight per cent OF all
those who worked fairly regularly,
it was further revealed, were
"Glress extras" of preferred status;
that is, they had exceptionally
good wardrODes. Practically noe
of them had had stage exper-
fence.
"These good wardrobes'," explained
Dave ALLEN, casting manager of the
corporation, mean something more
than what the average person under
stands by good wardrobe Any one
of the male extras represented in
these groups could appear on set
tomorrow morning dressed in tuxedo
or iull evening dress, with light or
dark topeoat, and light or dark hat;
or in business suit of spring, summer,
fail or winter weight; in golf clothes,
tennis costume, riding habit or polo
outfit-a wardrobe some $4,000 a
week stars probably don't try to
maintain"
The scarcity of regular employment
among screen extras does not mean
the studios are not spending money
on extra talent. The average daily
payroll for extras is S6,556, which
would mean a fairly good living if
distributed regularly among rea-
sonably small group of workers Blu,
with about 1000 regularly registered
extras sharing internationally in this
daily total, not to mention about
1000 others whom the Central Cast
ing corporation refuses to enco>ragc
by registering, the yearly average OF
the individual extra is bound to be
small 4
Too, it frequently happens that
about the time an extra girl achieves
fairly regular employment as an
extra she is lifted out of the extra
ranks by one of those breaks" for
which extra girls are always hoping

ON COLO. RIVER

SALT Lake CITY, Oct. 10 H1-
Los Angeles and southern California
do not need water from the Colorado
river; nor is there any necessity for
developing power by using water
from the river, a bulletin issued today
by the Utah state Colorado fact find
ing commission said
The bulletin further states that the
total flow from the Owens valley and
Mono basin, together with local
sources, is sufficient for 100000 per-
sons or a population equal to New
York and Chicago combined.
The commission then reviews the
engineering problems involved in the
construction of an aqueduct to deliver
the water from the river to south
ern California, using Los Angeles as
a basis for computing the costs, which
are roughly placed at three quarters
Of a billion dollars.
Regarding the need of power, the
bulletin states the COMMISSION has
found that the public utilities COM
panieS serving southern California
are capable of supplying the demand
and recently reduced prices to slim
ulate consumption.
The bulletin concludes:
"The commission was forced to the
conclusion that as the case OF

RAILWAYS PLAN
BIG PROGRAMS,
GEN. ATTERBURY

DALLAS, Texas, Oct 10 QP-Sound-
ing note Of optimism for the rail-
roads of The United States, General A.
A. Atterbury, president of the Penn
sylvania railroad, declared in an adj
dress today that the carriers were
looking forward and planning enor-
nous programs for the future"
Investments are made in conf
dence," he told the national associa-
ton of railroad and utilities commits
sioners. "And the railroads are doing
new things-they are cooperating with
the air mail and air service 1t is the
job of the railroads to cooperate with
all new enterprises"
Never before has there been such a
period OF prosperity. Railroad earn
ings have improved and at the same
time the service has been vastly i'm
proved.
up to ten years ago there was no
regular schedule of freight moved
over the Pennsylvania system. Now
80 per cent of the freight on our road
runs on regular schedule and this is
true also of all railroads in the United
States. The big freight trains now
move on schedule, just as passenger
trains
"Huge investments are responsible
for this betterg service. We now are
given proper returns on capital in
vested. Men are paid higher wages,
and last, but not least, our employees
are cooperating, thus giving the best
service with the least cost"
General Atterbury urged recognition
and safeguarding of the independence
Of state railroad commissions, declar-
ing any effort Iof Legislatures branches
to restrain them should be halted.
The railroads, he said, should aid the
commissions. The speaker recon-
mended seven year terms for COM
missioners at adequate salaries and re-
appointment if they are faithful and
competent. 4
Referring to3the question of valua-
ton, he assetred that "a fair return on
our investment is our chief concern
and this is purely mathematical
equation" The real question, he add
ed is what are we actually able 70
pay on our investment" He urged
protection Of rail rates from unWlSe
i reductions
j. j. Esch, chairman of the inter
state commerce commission, declared
he did not believe the advent OF the
automobile bus had resulted IN reduc-
ing carrier revenue. The carriers
profit, he said, from the automoolle
! industry, in shipments of oil and gaso-
line and other materials necessary tc
the industry.
John F. ShaughnesSy OF Nevada
president of the association, advocated
a flat 10 cent per ton charge on rail-
road freight traffic as means OF
extending relief to agriculture anc
livestock which he said were clearly
out of balance with the industrial
financial and railroad industries. Un.
der his plan, freight earnings Woulo
be pooled and receipts applied to q
per cent reduction in freight rates on
cotton, grain and livestock. The pro-
posal has not been fully worked out

CADET CORPS IN
VA. ms tt TUTE.
GOES ON STRIKE

LEXINGTON, Vir., Oct. 10 49-The
entire cadet corps of Virginia Military
Institute went on strike today, remain
ing at barracks while all military &C
tivities and classes were suspended.
The strike was precipitated by the
suspension of W. F. r, Griffith, a
senior, by Superintendent w. H.
Cooke.
1t was unofficially reported that
Griffiths was the thirty ninth sus-
pension since the start of the present
term, but this could not be verified at
the college.
A freshman is reported to have told
the superintendent that he was forced
to undergo an operation for appendix
tits as result of hazing in which
Griffith is laid to have been impli-
Gated
Student leaders declared that the
cadet corps was not in favor of haz-
ing and insisted that the strike was
not directed at superintendent Cooke
or Major r. S. Dodson, the new COM
mandant. Various students, however,
expressed doubt as to the guilt of the
dismissed under classman.
A football game scheduled with
Maryland next Saturday is to be play
ed, it was said today, and football
practice continued despite the strike.

7UNNEY IS CALM;
ENDS ALL WORKING
Packs Away His Gloves
for Big Fight

Lake Villa, H.. Sept. 20.-P(-
The calmest heavyweight champion
the ring has seen in many years,
Gene Tunney, packed away his
training gloves today and rested for
his first defense of his crown Thurs
day night against Jack Dempsey.
Two more strolls on the road. two
more brief periods with the punch
ing bags, and Tunney is ready to try
to prove again his superiority over
the former title holder with six
ounce mitts in o0-foot ring.
He will have no excuses to offer If
defeated, the champion said today.
For more than five months he has
worked 70 build up his condition for
the battle, and confidence shows in
his every move and word.
Five rounds yesterday with two
sparring partners who found it eX-
ceedingly difficult even to touch him
with the gloves. rang down the cur
tain on Tunney's preparation.
That cut over my eye was not a
mental hazard as some believe"
Tunney said. II will forget all about
it once the fight is under way. 1t will
take a solid punch to reopen the
wound and | hope l will be lucky
enough to avoid any punches
Dempsey may aim at it. I am in as
good condition as I can possibly be,
and I will have no excuses to offer
if I an defeated"
Tunney hopes to avoid the crowd
ed Loop until the time of the fight
approaches. Manager Gibson said to-
day he wished it would not be
necessary for the fighters to appear
at the offices of the Illinois State
Athletic commission Thursday after
noon to be weighed in and given
final examinations
Benny Leonard, retired light
weight champion, and Tom Sharkey,
former heavyweight contender,
watched the title holder go through
his final workout.
Tunney worked for long time on
one-two punches, devoting more
time to seeking the big bag with left
hooks and heavy rights than in any
previous session since he came to
the camp here three weeks ago. He
was correspondents easier on his
sparring partners when the boxing
part of the days work began His
footwork and lodging made them
miss blow after blow while he shot
in counter jabs and stepped back
again. II was Tunney's first semi
secret workout, only a few news
papermen being admitted.
The champion said today he might
go into Chicago Wednesday evening
to remain secluded in hotel until
fight time, but it was understood that
he might accept an invitation to
spend his last night before the bat
tie with some of his friends in Lake
Forest. SO he would be sure OF a
complete rest.
