STEWART SEEKS
DIRECTED VERDICT
Justice Bailey Hears Argu-
ment and Defers Decision.
U. S. Rests.
Bv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Justice Jennings Bailey in District
of Columbia Supreme Court took under
advisement at lunch hour today de-
tense motion in the perjury trial Of
Robert w. Stewart of the Indiana
Standard Oil Co. that he direct ver-
dict of not guilty.
Justice Bailey declined to indicate
whether he would decide the question
at the afternoon session or wait until
Monday. No court session will be held
tomorrow.
Arguing the motion, defense counsel
contended the Government had failed
to support its charge that Stewart had
falsely sworn before a Senate commit
tee that he had no knowledge of the
bond transactions of the Continental
Trading Co., involved in the Teapot
Dome oil case.
The Government rested its case today.
Nye Last Witness.
The last witness, Senator Nye of
North Dakota, testified the oil man had
sworn to the Senate public lands COM
mittee last February that "he had
never received personally any of the
bonds of the Continental Trading Co.
Earlier. Roy j. Barnett, tax commits
sioner for Stewards company. had told
of acting as trustee for $3.50, 900 of the
bonds at the oil mans request.
Questioning Senator Nye, Frank j.
Hogan brought out for the defense that
when the North Dakotan had testified
in the contempt trial of Stewart last
Spring he had said the oil man de-
clined to answer questions about his
knowledge of recipients OF the Contl-
mental bonds.
Walsh Testifies.
The Government approached the end
of its case early today with testimony
by Senator Walsh of Montana, as to
the rules and customs followed by
Senate committee meetings.
The propriety of the public lands
committee meetings last February, be-
fore which the oil man is charged with
having sworn falsely that he knew moth
ing about bonds of the Continental
Trading Co., has been challenged by the
defense. Cross examining Walsh, Ho-
gan dWelt particularly on the lack Of an
actual quorum present when Stewart
appeared.
Among the spectators in court to-
day was Chick" Evans. famous golfer
and friend of Stewards, who, defense
counsel said, would testify in the case as
a character witness.

PRESIDENT SCORED

"Pecksniffian Cuff" Says
One British Weekly; Some
Approval of Frankness.

BY tbs Associated Press.
LCNDCN, November 16.-Great
Britains literary weeklies today echoed
and in most instances emphasized the
shock which has been sustained by
President Coolidge's Arnistice days
speech.
The Ner' Statesman is the most out
spoken. Pecksnifian Cuff it heads

view, the Nation and even the Spec

OH h;nds-a cross-the-se policies, join
In scriieisn of the Presidents utterance.
The New Statesman declares that
Preaidsnt Coolidge broke the rule that
an outgoing President should make no
inapsFyant speech or take any other
significant step.
Casled Dying Kick
Eser II ns of sonorous silence only
pind atsE bow and then by the utter
aiaCe Scil1e discreet iflanfty, he Stid~'
denly delivered a sort of dying kick
with viciousness of which few people
on this side of the Atlantic would have
supposed him capable" the New States
man says. His Arnlistice day speech

and all its works from the standpoint
of 100 per cent New England back

like President Coolidge's or Lord Birk-
enhead's reply to it can do no very
serious harm because the real relations
between America and Great Britain do
not depend upon mutual civilitieS, but
upon common interests, institutions and
instances
"Still, barking back to the speech of
the obsolescent President, it would
probably be better if the statesmen on
both sides of the Atlantic would avoid
these nationalistic imbecilities, or, If
that is asking too much, that their
speeches should not be given extra
territorial publicity" the paper adds.
This last clause refers to the issuing
of the Presidents speech from Amer
ican embassies abroad for use in the
European press.
The Spectator says that the speech

signs in America. ITO others it was
no surprise, but it must be to all mat
ter of profound regret" the paper says,
challenging the figures on comparative
naval strength given by the President.
Frankness Is Praised.
The Saturday Review declares that
the speech is above all valuable on ac-
count of its frankness. There is no
probability that Mr. Hoover will be even
as tolerant of European weaknesses as
is the present occupant of the White
House"
The Nation says that the speech was
read in draft form by Mr. Hoover, and
must be taken as formal statement
of the foreign policy which the new
administration will take over. 1T may
be regretted" the Nation adds, that
on this particular day President Cool

ostentatiously in the spotless toga OF
American virtue g but.the speech
