DR.. SHOOK DEFENSE
MAY REST TODAY
Exchanges Between Counsel
and Prosecutor Amuse
Courtroom.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
COURTROOM, Columbus, Ohio, Au-
gust 12.-The tragic business Of the
rial OF DR.. James II. Shook, former
Ohio State professor, for the killing Of
Theora Xix was oyerlaid with comedy
today.
John r. Seidel Of defense council.
who was on the stand as q defense
witness, teamed with Prosecutor John
J. Chester, jr., to regale the Judge and
jury with sparkling account Of their
verbal clashes during the period that
DR.. Shook was being questioned before
his arrest.
The prosecutor cross-examined the
man who had fought with him before
the former professor confessed and who
opposed him il the murder trial since
its beginning last July "a.
Court Moved to Laughter.
Time and again the Judge, the jury
and the courtroom were moved to
laughter by the cutting exchanges be-
tween the two attorneys.
Seidel described his connection with
the case, told how he had been ordered
out OF the room where DR.. Shook was
being questioned, and declared he saw
the marks on DR.. Shocks face left by
the vigorous cuffs the prosecutor admits
he inflicted on the defendant while he
was trying to get him to confess. E. O.
Ricketts, followed Seidel. and testified
that he also saw the marks.
Defense May Rest Today.
Defense counsel were indefinite
whether they will call John H. Berry,
superintendent of the Athens State Hos
pital for the Insane. and Dr. George w
Heffner of Circleville. the two alienists
who examined Dr. Shook at their re-
quest. II the alienists do not take the
stand the defense appeared to be near
ing the end of its direct testimony. with
the prospect that it would rest today.
Prosecutor Chester has not revealed
how long his rebuttal will be, but If the
expert testimony as to Dr. Shocks men,
tai condition is eliminated the duration
OF the trial will be appreciably lessened.

F1TSI FaRe.1
the return Of most Of the members of
the party to Washington today. In his
car were Herbert Hoover. jr.. and Mrs.
L1ndbergh. Although they did not
leave the camp until some little time
after the President and the others de-
parted, they reached the White House
about 20 minutes ahead of the latter.
Some members of the party are still
wondering how this happened mas
much as they do not recall the colonel's
car passing them en- route. It is be-
l1eved that the Flying Colonel took an
other route which, while trifie longer
than the one the Presidents car took,
enabled him to step along little faster
and to reach Washington ahead Of the
others.
The President and those who accom-
panied him on the return trip left camp
this morning shortly before 8 o'clock
and arrived at the White House about
10:40.
Remain In Camp.
Mrs. Hoover and Allan, with Mrs.
Hyde, wife Of the Secretary of Agri-
culture, and Mrs. jeremiah Milbank Of
New York, remained at the camp in
tending to return to Washington later
today. Secretary Of Agriculture Hyde
and William Allen White. Kansas. edi-
tor and author, also guests at the. camp,
left yesterday afternoon.
The President lost little time after
arriving back at the White House this
morning in getting down to business.
He had made no engagements for the
day. but was busi1y occupied with the
accumulation of correspondence and
routine matters.

WORK ON TARIFF
TO END This WEEK.
Sugar.. Hide, Leather and
Shoe Rates Left for Deci-
sion of Committee.

BY the Associated fTeeS.
Putting of some of the most difficult
items to the last, the Senate finance
committee Republicans today faced the
necessity of deciding this week what TO
do with the highly controversial sugar.
hide, leather and shoe rates written into
the House tariff bill.
That brief, but troublesome list COM
prised the major items still confront
ing the committeeman in their task
Of rewriting the rate schedules OF the
House bill. They expect to complete
those schedules by the end Of the week
and turn them over to the Democrats
ton, while taking up themselves the
arduous task, of rewriting the admin
istrative provisions of the measure.
Fiat Sugar Rate Likely.
With the Smoot sliding scale plan
abandoned because Of opposition by
the sugar industry, the Republican
committeeman are now expected to
agree on fiat rate for this commodity
somewhat higher than the present i'm
voted by the House. A figure around 2
or 2.05 cents q pound on Cuban raw
sugar is expected in many quarters.
compared with 1.76 In the present law
and 2.40 in the House bill.
Considering the highly controversial
nature Of this and other sections OF the
measure, 1t is becoming increasingly
evident that the bill which will finally
be passed will have consumed more
time in the legislative machinery of
Congress than even the Fordney-Mc-
Cumber law now in force. The formu-
lation and passage Of that act in 1922
consumed months and Is days. AL
though the rate schedules will be ready
and the Senate will reassemble next
Monday, the agreement to postpone
consideration of the new measure until
September 4, to enable the committee
majority to complete its work, will car
ry its time consuming period to within
two weeks of the 1922 record and the
debate to follow will add weeks and
possibly months to the total.
Delay Seen by Some.
Some members Of the Senate, in fact,
are already suggesting that the bill cam
not be disposed Of before the regular
session OF Congress begins in Deem
Der, situation which they believe
would tend to add greatly to the time
required for disposal Of the legislation.
They see that situation developing, de-
spite assurances from the Democratic
leadership that no attempt will be made
to delay unduly action on the BILL and
base their calculations on the organized
opposition to many sections of the
House measure among the Republican
independents.
Although the finance committee Re-
publicans have modified many of the
industrial rate increases voted by the
House. the Republican independent OPP
position is expected to draw strong
Democratic support, with lengthy dis
cussion Of the administrative provisions
and numerous rates in prospect.

were lost.
Other washington residents registered
at the hotel were Mrs. Donnard and
Miss Nixon. They are believed to
have taken refuge at a nearby cot
tage. The guest list could not be ascer-
tanned. the hotel register having been
burned.
Handicapped by lack of SUFFICIENT
water. fire companies from Frederick

building, which was consumed in about
an hour. Using water from q nearby
swimming pool, the firemen succeeded
in saving adjoining structures with some
difficulty. Among the buildings thus
saved was the home Of the Whalen
heirs of Washington, Immediately ad-
joining the hotel, which was soaked
with water.
The guests who escaped lost all their
belongings and were temporarily &C
commodated in neighboring residences.

interest rates in ordinary banks have
been going up. Industry and agri-
culture and general lines OF legitimate
business have been paying out more in
interest and the result Is they are han
dicapped to meet competition. The
small concern or ordinary Individual
has felt this increase in interest rates
especially. Many complaints are COM
ing from different sections of the
country that banks Of the Reserve sys-
tenn are refusing loans to ordinary
patrons and saying openly they are
doing SO because they can get higher

Says Expectations UnfuIflIed.
Such a condition, Senator Nye said.
was In direct conflict with the purposes
OF the men who put through the Federal
Reserve act.
ITO stop the movement of money of
the people into speculation was sup
posed to be one Of the main purposes
OF the law" said Senator Nye. "That
the Federal Reserve law has signally
failed to meet expectations in respect
Of speculation is too plain to need ar
gument. A tremendous proportion of
the country's money and credit is be-
ing sucked up from the interior, and
as one high authority expresses it,
'siphoned' into Wall Street Not long
ago press reports declared that half
a billion dollars of Iowa money had
been sent East and thrown into the
channels of speculation

so-called farm relief can ever be ef-
