 Rcmus Faces Big Handicap
 Rcmus faced the handicap of overcoming the alienists' report he was sane. By his own declaration he was bound to abide by their find- ing.
 His defense succeeded yesterday in bringing from Dr. Baber and also Dr. David l.. Wolfstein admissions that despite their conclusions other doctors of equal status might return q report diametrically opposed to that submitted by them.
 After an overnight study of hypo- thetical questions covering 109 pag- es of foolscap paper, Judge Chester R. Shook promised a decision today upon whether the question should be asked the alienists. Should he rule in favor of Remus. who burned the midnight electricity night after night in his Jail cell as he struggled in preparing the interrogation, the trial would be heightened by at least two days. Putting the question to each of the three alienists would be a task of three to four hours. Judge Cites Decision ; Judge Shook cited a decision of the United States supreme court to uphold his right to place limit upon the length of the question, but assured Remus of careful consider ation.
 Should examination of pr. Baber and the third alienist. Dr. Charles W. Kelly, be completed today, there would remain the submission of pro- posed special charges to Judge Shook and debate upon them, with small chance that arguments would be reached before Monday. Prosecutor Charles P. Taft, IT., and Charles H. Elston, co-counsel [ with Remus, were of the opinion, however, that should Judge Shook limit the length of the hypothetical question some of the arguments might be. reached before adjourn ment today.
 l Under that schedule the case prob- ably would go to the jury late Mon- day evening, they said.

 The records, relating to Mexican government messages exchanged with its New York consulate, were subpoenaed by the committee as a possible clue to the real identity of documents presented by William Randolph Hearst which purport to show that 5000 of Mexican money was intended for four Ameri- can senators.
 Following the flat denial of the senators-Borah, Norris, Heflin and LaFollette-that any of the money had reached them. the question of the documents authenticity has be- come paramount and in It's deter mination to unravel the mystery the committee intends to employ the secret service If necessary.

Washington, Dec. 17 tP-A rally ing cry calling republicans to defense of the $225, ,000,0 ,000 maximum tax has come from President Coolidge as the senate is forming on strictly party lines to consider the s2S9,00o,- coo reduction bill handed 1t by the house.
 The president feels that the cut voted by the house. where the demo- crats and a handful of republicans had their way with the measure, is extravagant in the light of the trea- sury's condition. He confidently ex- poets that when the bill reaches his desk for signature or veto it's reduc- posed by Secretary Mcllon-S225, coo, ,000. In this view he is support ed by Chairman Shoot of the senate finance committee, which will begin work on the measure after the holi- day.
 Sen. Simmons For Big Cut.
 Senator Shoots efforts to pare down the total will be opposed. how ever, by Senator Simmons of North CarolinaJ ranking minority member of the committee. The southern senator declared yesterday that 6 S400, 100000 reduction is entirely feasible. Another democratic view came from Representative Oldfield of Arkansas, chairman of the demo- cratic congressional campaign com- nlittee, who saw in the success of the house democrats in materially revising the bill lesson 10 be learn ed by the party throughout the country.
 The house democrats, he said, We're successful because they were organized and he predicted that if democrats at large would similarly organize for the 1928 elections, i've will win a sweeping victory for our national ticket''
 Laughs At Veto Fears
 scoffing at suggestions brought yesterday from the White House by Representative Tilson of Connecti- cut, the republican floor leader and others. that the President might veto the measure unless it's total is cut down, Mir. Oldfield remarked:
 "How he could justify such veto when we are annually collecting hundreds of millions of dollars from the taxpayers more than is needed For government expenses, l cannot seq. The house bill is a fair and lust bill, but will leave the govern lnent with ample money 10 provide for flood relief and other much needed purposes
 President Coolidge has Mery ex- pectation. 1t was said at tie White House that business will continue 10 prosper but he believes the present state of the treasury does not warrant reduction in excess of Mt. Melons s225, 100000 figure.
 Treasury estimates fix the sur plus for the current fiscal year at s25c,0OO,O00 of which s75, ,000,0 will not hereafter be available. This is taken into consideration by the President, it was said, along with the certainty that the treasury will be asked 10 provide large sums for flood control. new naval craft and other purposes.

MEXICAN RELATIONS IMPROVE

= Can it be that drifting again into era of
good feeling with Mexico? Recent developments sug
gest that.
public statement made by President Coolidge has
told with evident pleasure of official from
the Mexican government that it would not take Amer
ican property without compensation and suggested that
the way open to settle pending disputes amicaby
through established agencies. ->
- President Gales of Mexico has welcomed that state
ment and come right back with another.
at is not only possible but easy, says Gales, to
arrive at a friendly understanding. Ht pleads that the
nations so conduct themselves that bonds of
friendship will be injured" The evident cord
ality both sides is quite different from the sharp
of exchanges between the two governments dur
ing the last few months.
AS for the machinery of ad dustment President Gales
remarks that American claims against Mexico are be-
ing passed upon continually by the general and spe
ca claims commissions created during the presidency
of Gen. Obregon. He refers to two arbitration commits
missions empowered to settle disputes between the two
countries and declares that Mexico has always favor
ed such method By implication, he suggests that
the Mexican courts be trusted oo in this matter.
He expressly disclaims any intent of confscation,
whether of American agricultural lands oil lands,
and commits his country to an honorable policy, work
ed out by peaceful procedure.
This is getting somewhere. When the spirit is right,
the machinery be trusted Things running
more smoothly in spite of the undoubted efforts of
some American interests to embroil the two countries
for their own selfish benefit.

Ell CENTRO'S PLAYGROUND

Establishment of recreation center on the outskirts
of the CITY, proposed by members of Boyce Aten Post
and the United War Veterans might appear at first
glance to the layman, to be iliconsdered, but action
has not been taken without giving the matter plenty of
thought.
Following out the desire the veterans that the
money received from the county should be expended
in such way to be of benefit to the people, the
board of supervisors has endorsed the purchase of
tract of land which will be developed into recreation
center for all the people of this city, and has COM
mended the plan individually.
The idea is extensive one and will take number
of years to develop. The veterans hope to make a
start the proposition this fall and work it in the
course of the next few years.
To the objection that the land is removed from the
of activities the veterans point out that this is
its favor also that they have sufficient faith in the
future of Ell Centro to believe that it will not be
great number of years before the tract that
so far out will be within the city limits.
Why a recreation ground? TO this the veterans
ply, "the big ma jority of have forgotten how to
play Many of us never did know how to enjoy
selves properly, or if have have forgotten the
method"
IA judicious mixture of work and play has been
ognized in all ages being conductive to happy life.
The army and the navy to it in warmes and still
keep up the idea, that work better when they
given opportunity to relax and enjoy themse Ives
occasionally This fact is also recognized by modern
business methods
This is the adult side of it. From juvenile stand
point playground with proper facilities has long been
needed Ell Centre and the veterans appear to have
pointed the way to achieve it.
