third state alienist ready to take the stand at 12:3O.
 Trial Near End l White Plains N. Y., Sept. 26 R}- 1 The trial of Earl Francis Peacox for ! the murder of his wife Dorothy neared its conclusion today After two alienists had described the defendant as a 'psychopathic personality" the defense rested yes- terday leaving only brief rebuttal, summations, and the courts charge before the case goes to the jury, Dr. c. Floyd Haviland, superinten- dent of Manhattan state hospital, and pr. Richard H. Hutchins, super intendent of Utica state hospital, were the mental experts called by the defense.
 Agree en "Brain storm" Tn reply to a hypothetical ques- ton which summed up the salient features of the case, they agreed that when Peacock choked his wife to death in his Mount Vernon, N. Y. apartment last April 21 he was the victim of an 'emotional storm and incapable of premeditating, re- flccting, or deliberating. Peacox confessed killing his wife and setting fire to her body in a roadside thicket near Scarsdale, N. Y. five days later. In cross eNaml- nation he said he acted deliberately when he fclled her by blow with his pistol butt and then held her by the throat.
 The alenists testified that because of his "psychopathic personality he acted upon an impulse which he was unable to control and while in state in which he was irresponsible for his acts.
 They defined "psychopathic per sonality" as one lacking normal emo tional reactions and response, in- capable of learning from experience, and prone to blame others for mis- fortunes.
 Draws Fine Distinction
 PeaCoX was on the stand to eX- plain what he meant when he testi- fled previously that his actions in the killing of his wife were deliberate. He said there was a vast differ encc" between doing a thing dellb- erately and doing it with delibera- ton.
 He also took 40 minutes to des- cribe what passed through his mind like a flash" in the moment before he struck his wife.

 Dr, Gregory then gave his own definition, saying the classification , included such diverse types as dangerous criminals and persons merely somewhat eccentric.
 Many of them are in prison ?" he was asked.
 "Ycs, but not because they arc psychopathic personalities. Have you made mistakes in your diagnosis of mental cases?" Dr. Gregory was asked.

 Second Doctor Testifics
 Dr. Gregory was followed on the stand by Dr. Frank B. Robertson. He gav& his opinion that Peacox He knew the nature and quality of his acts?" the prosecutor asked.
 He certainly did"
 He knew he was doing wrong?"
 "He did"
 You have observed him here in court?"
 For four days. His answers were exact and responsive and his emotional control was very good for one in his unfortunate posi- tion."
 Sidney syme, defense counsel asked if what Dr. Robertson had said was merely an opinion.
 He said it was his opinion," Justice Arthur S. Tompkins replied.
 Not Examining Court
 T am examining the witness, not the court" Syme rejoined.
 Justice Tompkins leaned over the bench and pointed his finger at Syme.
 This is impertinent,' he said, uon anNreSS the court In that way or that tone again." A moment later the judge rapped with his gavel and requested quiet from a man whispering at the de- fcnse counsel table. Why that's my assistant" Syme said, 'conferring with one of our alienists." Let him confer quietly then" the judge replied. Under cross ss-examination Dr. Robertson said there was no evi- dence of emotional instability in PeacoX's character.

 How about the testimony that he once broke up radio set he was working on and wrecked the room ?" Syme asked.
 That was just anger, curable by a spanking" the doctor replied.

aimed against the farmers interest. Senator King, democrat.

 Harrison Launches Attack
 Both the republican leader Wat son of Indiana. and the marshal of the democratic forces, Robinson )f Arkansas were drawn into the dis cussion launched by Senator Harri- son of Mississippi, who manifestly enjoys stirring up the Old Guard across the political dividing aisle.
 The Missi5sippian said that in employing Eyanson temporarily as his secretary and placing him upon the government payroll. Bingham might as well have retained Joseph l.. Grundy, president of the Penn sylvania Manufacturers association, and widely known as an advocate of high protection because EyaN- son had profcSsed such familiarity with Grundy as to refer to him IS "Old Joe"
 Harrison warned the republicans they were mistaken if they thought such actions would help your bill in the opinion Of the American people,"

 ''Intcrests Of State"
 "Tf it is treason to look after the interests of your state on this floor. the senator from Mississippi can make the most of it." Bingham said, adding that in no way did Eyanson suggest anything to the committee.
 Bingham's reference to looking after the interests of his own state in tariff making, stirred Senator Norris of Nebraska, republican in- who said he wondered if all senators took the same view in tariff legislation which the entire country.

Lindbergh to the Rescue

Col. Charles A. Lincbergh borrows the fastest plane
available and rushes across the continent to join IN
the search for the missing air liner and eight persons.
This act Of the air hero will be OF great interest 20
the general public. as are all the acts OF Indy. and
there likely will be some conjecture on the part Of
those who are inclined to criticize as to the motives
behind the act.
Someone likely will surmise that II is an indication
Col Lindbergh really is not so adverse to publicity as
he would have it appear. And this someone will be
about as far from the truth as it would be possible 10
get.
L~indbergh eats. sleeps. breathes and lives AVIATION.
He is sensitive to a high degree to anything that :
likely to hamper its progress. To hin flying is the
only sensible method of transportation in this day
and age. He can see no reason for anyone failing 10
take to the air anytime a trip is necessary and an air
plane is available.
Probably the answer to his entry into the Eearch
is that he is anxious to clear up the matter as rapidly
as possible and get news Of the disaster off the front
pages Of American newspapers as quickly MS possible.
Lindbergh believes that flying is safer than trans
portation by automobile and he wishes to convert The
general public to that belief at the earliest possible
date. He believes there is need to find the cause Of
the accident to this great liner somewhere in the far
west.
OF course there are other motives prompting his
entry into the search. He is anxious to rescue the
one woman and seven men as quickly as possible. II
they are down in some inaccessible spot far from hui
man habitation he is anxious that their hunger and
suffering be relieved as speedily as can be done. To
aid in this he leaves the East and speeds across the
because ne feels that every additional
searcher will speed the rescue or the discovery OF the
wrecked plane. He has no exaggerated idea Of his
own Importance to the search
To prove to the world his absolute confidence IN
flying. he permits his bride OF a few months 70 recon-
.pany him on what many persons will consider , haz-
sardous journey.

Washington Letter

WASHINGTON. Sept. 7-Dr. Chao-Chu WI. Chi
nese minister to the United States. must have rished
Just a little when he received word from his govern
ment that he had been appointed one OF China's dele
gates to the annual meeting Of the League of Nations
In Geneva.
For DR.. WI doubtless has very good reasons for
not wanting to be absent from Washington for long
right az the present.
First OF all. Washington is the diplomatic renter Of
his country's dispute with soviet Russia over the Man
churian railroad. DR.. WI has figured prominently in
ell negotiations up TO the present. II would continue
to do SO In the future.
And then Dr. wu's absence i~nterferes with the one
thing closest to his heart-the goal he has set for
himself as Chinese minister to the United States:
that Of bringing about a change in the exercise Of tx-
tra-territorial powers by the United States In China.
HIS CHIEF DESIRE
Accomplishment Of the latter he cherishes above
al.
1t was not 50 long ago that the Chinese minister
sat in the classroom OF the old Force school In wash
ington as a student. His father. Dr.. WI Ting fang,
was then minister OF China to the United States.
His classmates called him Pickles" then and de-
lighted In pulling the queue that hung down the back
Of his oriental costume. Archie and Quentin Roose-
welt. sons OF the president, were at Force school at the
same time.
There are several in washington who remember
WI as the SlOIt, otAhy bcSpcCta~Acu DOJ "a tliuSc
days. His fists were respected by his fellow students.
His ability to shoot marbles was well known. After
his first day at school he wore his queue under his
silken coat.
He entered the third grade at Force school,. but
within a year he had jumped to the sixth. He COM
pleted his studies at Force and entered the Western
High school far ahead OF his class.
It was in high school that he exchanged his silken
coat and trousers for a blue uniform OF the military
nit. On March 4. 1901. as a cadet Of Company II he
marched In the Mckinley inaugural parade up Penn
s~ylvania avenue.
ALGEBRA WORRIED HIM
Young WI was a brilliant student, but algebra was
his toughest subject. Once his class In mathematics
was given the problem: x equals the speed Of an ex-
press train. Y equals the speed Of a freight train.
Find the speed Of each.
WI was the first to hold up hts hand. He ex-
planned that he had the answer:
e.. only my freight trains speed Is faster than
my express
Girls attracted him very little because Of his timid-
ity. He admired Geraldine Farrar. a student at West
ern High at the time. greatly. Farrar wrote a march
and dedicated It to Company ii. Wu's outfit
He left Western High after two years and entered
the high school at Atlantic City. where he was grad
uated. Then he went to England for further study
and was graduated 1t the University Of London and
Lincoln Inn.
Then he returned 10 China and soon became q
leader In the affairs OF his government. At one time
he was foreign minister under the nationalistA..
