MOVES
T OR DISMISSAL
Of OIL CONTEMPT
Contends Government Has
Failed to Prove Allega-
tions Made

WASHINGTON Feb. / tF1--Con-
tending that the government had
failed to prove a single allegation in
its criminal contempt actions against
Harry F. Sinclair, William j. Burns
and their four associates, defense
counsel today asked Justice Frederick
L. Siddons in the supreme court OF
the Districtb Of Columbia to dismiss
the case.
The defense move followed the
courts refusal to strike from the
records the testimony of William j..
McNTullin, the governments star
witness. McMullin, who, while acting
as a Burns detective in shadowing
the Fall-Sinclair Gil conspiracy jury,
informed the government OF the de-
tectives' activities, testified he pre-
pared false charges against a juror
on instructions from Burns officials.
The false charges, he said, were
intended as basis of an affidavit
with which it was hoped to bring
about mistrial of the oil case if it
appeared Sinclair was in danger OF
conviction.
In permitting the testimony to
remain in the record Justice Siddons
said he would not rule it out at
"tfis time but would consider it
for what it was worth, making it
clear that his action was lot final.
Martin w. Littleton, counsel for
Sinclair, in moving for dismissal,
asserted that the only evidence de-
veloped by the government was that
the jury was kept under surveillance
by detectives in Sinclair's employ
This, he said, was admitted. by the
respondents, adding that such action
was not unlawful. The government,
he contended could not consider the
question of inten5 but only actions
which might have constituted con-
tempt.

DAM ACT
Local Congressman Would
Make Estate Pact Con-
ditiOn Precedent

WASHINGTON, Feb Up - The
Swing johnson Boulder canyon dam
bill, heavily freighted with contro-
versieS, today moved slowly through a
house irrigation committee executive
session. When the committee adjourn
ed one amendment had been adopted
and several rejected.
AT the end of the committees con-
sideration the bill is expected to en-
counter move to hold it in commit
tee for 80 days while the Colorado
river basin states continue nsyCtia-
tions for a seven state compact
Sentiment in favor of such action
is said to be brewing, and two mem
berS of the committee are known to
be considering the introduction of
resolutions to that effect. One COM
mitteeman said, today, that he had
discussed the subject with ma
jority of the committee members and
found them favorable to the proposal.
An amendment offered by Represen-
tatlve White, democrat, Colorado, add
ing to the purposes of the bill the
improvement of navigation on the
Colorado, was adopted.
The amendment was offered to clear
away obstacles confronting the legis-
lation in view of questions raised over
the possible nayigability Of the stream.
Representative Douglas, democrat,
Arizona, one of the bills most Wig
orous opponents offere d several
amendments, two of which provided
for the construction of second dam
across the Colorado near Parker, Ari-
'zona, and another which would insist
upon a seven state compact, all OF

STRESEMANN. ASKS

THE RHINELAND
Foreign Minister Warns
French to Do Their Part
Toward Peace

BERLIN, Feb / lR-Foreign Min
lister Stresemann of Germany today
declared that all parties in the Ger
man cabinet including the national
lists advocate a policy of Franco
German understanding and made an
appeal to France to dc her share
to make this policy possible.
'I have demanded evacuation of the
Rhineland and again and again in
order thereby to make possible real
conciliation and active cooperation
between these two peoples" DR.
Stresemann told the Reichstag in a
speech closing the two day debate
ON the foreign office budget.
"There are no people which have
SO little interest in warlike complica.
tions and which, in the event Of war,
would so risk its very existence as
Germany The Locarno agreements
were intended to clear the track for
cooperation between all the nations
concerned. Precisely because I wish
that this idea of cooperation shall
become the common property of the
whole German people, do l. who
always fought for TINS policy, con-
slider myself entitled to warn the
French nation-'Do your share SO
this policy may become the common
of the German people"
Then, raising his voice, Foreign
Minister Streseman made the plea TO
France:
"Raise the iron curtain in the
Rhineland which separates us, make
it possible for an era of active CO.
operation and good will to ensue."
Asserting Germany's willingness to
come to complete understanding
with France, the foreign minister said
that this desire had gained ground in

SUPREME NEED
ENFORCEMENT
Of Law, SAID
Charges N. Y. Governor
With Deception on Dry
Issue in State
TALK MISLEADS
Says Smiths Effort to
Create Impression No
Statute Needed, Wrong
TALK MISLEADS

RICHMOND, Va. Feb. H9-The
attitude of Governor Alfred E. Smith
toward prohibition enforcement was
directly challenged here tonight by
William c. McAdoo, in a speech sound
ing a rallying cry against the election
of any 'Wet" to the presidency
Making his first public utterance on
the subject since Governor Smiths
boom for the democratic presidential
nomination assulHed its present pro-
portions, Mr.. McA6loo contradicted
some of his old rivals recent state
ments, declared the "liquor interests"
had captured political power both in
New York and in Maryland and
argued that to expect prohibition en-
forcenent from a president hostile to
prohibition was upon it's face an abb
surdity" He said the issue was one
that must be fought ''to a conclusion"
in the campaign of 1928
THE supreme need is to put law
enforcement in the White House" said
Mr.. McAdoo.. Attempt is being made
to- convince the country that no mat
ter if wet is elected president, the
constitution and laws will be enforc-
ed. This is both unsound and untrue
The White House in the hands of the
liquor interests would be veritable
Gibraltar of offensive operations and
the doom of the 18th amendment
would be written boldly upon the face
of the constitution"
The former treasury secretary, twice
a formidable candidate for the nomi-
nation of his party, made no reference
to his own political fortune or to his
previous statement that he would
"stand aside" in 1923. He made no
personal illusions except to Governor
Smith although he did link the law
enforcement situation in New York
with that in Maryland, whose COVER
nor, Albert G. Ritchie, also is in the
running for the democratic nomina-
ton.
Mr.. McAdoo spoke at a law enforce
ment meeting at Richmond auditorium
to an audience gathered from the bor-
derland of the dry democratic south.
The meeting was held under the aus
pices of the Anti-Saloon league, the
Woman's Christian Temperance union,
and other dry organizations. The
speech was prepared beforehand, and
included painstaking examination of
many aspects of the prohibition en-
forcement problem

ROOT TREATY
STRENGTHENED
by AGREEMENT
Washington Believes Cause
Of World Peace Has
Been Helped
TO SIGN MONDAY
Celebrates l5Oth Annivers-
ary of First Treaty
With France

WASHINGTON Feb 1 (P--The
new Franco American arbitration pact,
embodying a declaration against war
as an instrument of national policy.
will be signed next Mondag, the
Sesqui- centennial Of the first treaty
entered into between the two re-
publics.
Word of the final agreement on
terms of the new treaty reached the
state department from Paris late
today. It means fulfillment of the
original. French desire for signature
of the new peace pact on the anni-
versary date, although the Roof
arbitration treaty it will replace does
not expire until Feb 27
1t represents also beginning on
the making over of all American
arbitration treaties in the light Of
the Franco American pledge of con-
tinuing friendship into what the
washington administration believes
will be strengthened American con-
tribution to the cause of world peace.
The anti-war declaration is con-
tanned in the preamble to the new
treaty and is described, since it has
never been made public IN text, as
a mutual expression of hope that
a day will come when war can be
abandoned by all governments in
favor of peaceful settlement of dis
putes.
The articles of the treaty, however,
commit the two countries to submit
to arbitration on formulae to be
by the senate in each case
so far as the United States is con-
cerned, any dispute that cannot be
disposed of by diplomatic negotiation
and which does not touch on
domestic issues, affect the interests
of a third state or involve the
Monroe doctrine.
AS framed at the state department.
and presumably as approved in Paris,
the pact abandons the language OF
the Root treaty exempting from
questions of national honor
and vital interest. 1t is regarded
nere as strengthening the Root peace
machinery to that extent.
An important aspect of the new
treaty is the fact that it interlocks
With the Bryan conciliation treaty
with France, which continues until
denounced by either party. That
treaty requires that no disputes of
any character shall go to the extent
Of war or warlike preparations by
either country until a period Of one
year in which conciliators shall have
attempted adjustment shall have
passed.
Signature of the new arbitration
treaty means the indefinite postpone
ment of the discussion with the
Paris government Of the question of
a separate treaty renouncing war
which grew out of the BRAND pro-
posals to Washington last year.

ST. THOMAS, Virgin Islands,
Feb. Up = The freedom of the
city today was conferred on Col
Onel Charles A. Lindbergh by his
fellow Americans of this little
island in the Caribbean after a
day of innumerabIe hOnOrs and
enthusiastic fctes.
The honor was conferred at an
extraordinary meeting of the col
Onial council this afternoon. As
he entered the room with Cover
nor Evans, the members rose in
tribute. The American air hero,
who will resume his good will tour
tomorrow, replied briefly, express
ing his thanks and telling the
council that he always would re-
member the welcome which st.
Thomas gave him.
During the day the colonel Wis
tied the hospital here, went to the
Free MasOn's lodge, where a spe-
cial meeting was held in his honor
and was presented with silver
Masonic troweI with a gold handle,
attended the horse races and then
rounded out the day with sight
seeing trip.
AT noon the American flier also

was the guest of honor at a re-
ception by the chamber of COM
merce at which the Danish consul
general delivered an address of
welcome. The flier shook hands
with all the members of the cham
Der who were eager to greet him
personally.
The people of st. Thomas, no
i5Ss eager to pay tribute to the
American airman, flOcked every
where that the fIier went and as
he drove in an open automobile
with Governor Evans to the public
garden this morning, he was con-
stantIy surrounded by eager crowds,
including many school children.
Colonel Lindbergh tomorrow will
make one of the shortest hops of
his good will tour, taking off for
San Juan, Porto Rico, only IS
miles away, at o'clock in the
afternoon.
Dispatches from Havana said
that o'clock in the afternoon Of
February 8 is being tentatively
considered as the time of Colonel
Lindbergh's arrival there for the
Pan American conference. He
probably will take off for st. Louis,
his home, on February IL.

Hickman Confession
Is Laid Before Jury
By Defense Witness

HALL OF JUSTICE, LOS ANG-
ELES, Feb. P-The detailed evi-
dence Of tn ekidnaping, killing and
mutllatlng of Marian Parker received
its initial introduction into the sanity
trial of William Edward Hickman
late today. The actual crime. to
which the youth pleaded mot guilty
by reason of insanity" was laid
before the jury by the first defense
witness put on the stand, and by
reading of Hickman's written con-
fession
Before the days act of the SEN
sational drama had closed, the pris-
oner's second or So called motive
confession, also was submitted to the
Judgment of the IL middle aged
jurors The clear voice OF Defense
Attorney Jerome Walsh drove into
the minds of the justice arbiters the
personally written and clear minded
account of the killers crime.
The confessions. the essence of
which previously had been published,
disclosed little that was new. One
hitherto unrevealed fact was Hick.
mans own description of the dis
section, which revealed that life, al
though probably without conscious
ness, was in the girl at the time.
Police Detective Dick Lucas, one
of the officers who returned Hick-
man here from Oregon, was the
first defense witness, who related
in testimony the details of the
prisoners confession.
Eli IL
concealed trait of the kidnaper
Referring to the cashing of the first
$40 ransom note in a Los Angeles
cafeteria the night of the murder,
Hickman was quoted as saying: "I'd
like to see that girl; I bet she got
a thrill when she learned 1t was
me-"
At one time benefactor and friend
of the Kansas City school boy
Captain Charles Edwards, former
chief OF police of that midwest city
was shown in long deposition as
personally believing the youth to
have been insane at the time of
the crime. He persisted in calling
himself incompetent to pass legal
judgment on the question, and ad-
IIIIGtOO IlS IldO llOl COIlS1uCICO lllE
restless" youth insane until he read
the newspaper accounts of his crime
and confession.
District Attorney Asa Keyes COM
pleted the states brief cross examina-
ton of the witness after which trial
was adjourned until tomorrow morn
ing.
Hickman started the day, his Goth
birthday, by facing the bar of justice
in an adjoining courtroom on
second charge of murder.
A holdup was continued until Feb.
Is, and Hickman returned to the
atmosphere of the insanity plea put
up by his attorneys before Judge
Trabucco to account for his confessed
kidnapping, killing and dismembering
of Marian Parker.
The morning was another session Of
deposition reading, continuing the
defenses effort by means OF sworn
statements of friends and acquaint-
ances of the prisoner to prove that
hCmicidal mania directed his hand
