Case Wears Jury


 Columbus, Ohio. Aug. 13 P-The trial of Dr. James H. Shook, for mer Ohio State university professor on trial for first degree murder for the confessed staying of his coed paramour, Theora Hix. was near the jury today. Prospects were that de- Alterations would begin tom morrow.
 The states rebuttal testimony vir- tually was complete. There remain ed the sub-rcbuttal of the defense, three-hour arguments on each side. and Judge Henry L. Scarlett's charge to the jury of Il men and one woman.
 Rebuttal witnesses summoned by the state were used to reaffirm Snooks admissions on the night he signed confession to the crime. R. o. Brown, stenographer who took down the statement. testified that the admission that Shook slit the girls throat after beating her into insensibility with hammer was in the 49 year old veterinarians own words. The notes bear Snook's sig nature, but the defense claims the statement was obtained under dur ess. Shook from the stand admitted striking the hammer blows, but said he could not remember using a knife. He accused Chester of dic- tating that part of the confession.
 The girl was killed two months ago today. She was found on rife range, beaten and mutilated and Shook confessed a week later. He said she threatened his life and those of his wife and two-year old daughter.

MT. Snowden's insistenca that these sacrifices went beyond anything Great Britain could accept was the bar upon which the con- ference ship was almost wrecked.
 Effort to Save Conference The negotiations represent a strenuous effort to save the confer ence from utter stalemate and col | lapse,

 The financial committee of the conference today stood adjourned at Mr. Snowdens own suggestion until Wednesday, move generally regarded as made just to permit | private conversations between Messrs. K. Jaspar, Locheur and | Snowden.

He ridiculed the claim and said that the testimony offered in owner of the liquor and he was guilty of violation of the liquor law.
 Judge Degnan Incredulous
 When the two attorneys had fin ished, Judge J. l. ambert Degnan stated that the charge made by At he could not believe it. The judge stated that he had the strongest con- tidence in the integrity and honesty of the local police department and he felt sure that not one of them would resort to such measures in or der to arrest man.
 The judge than found DiCaprio guilty of the charge and fined him s20o and costs, Attorney Lacey en- tered an appeal.

for reelection in 1925 and again in 1927. When Alderman William H. Judd announced he would retire this spring, Bartlett came out as a candidate for alderman. He was not opposed in the primary, al though there was four-cornered contest for the councilmanic berth. Endorsement of his candidacy for alderman was voted by the demo- cratic party.
 Alderman Bartlett made his bid for election as mayor in 1928, when he opposed Mayor Paonessa in the latter's successful attempt to come back into office after suffering de- feat at the hands of Gardner c. Weld two years previously. AL though defeated Bartlett did not retire from public office as his term as councilman had one year to run.
 Bartlett's announcement of today let loose flood of rumors concern ing republican political activities of the past several months many of which centered about the retiring

 Chief Maher scoffed at stories of a middle aged woman, who, seen talking to the boy, was believed ru have kidnapped him.
 So far as evidence is concerned," said Chief Maher, "the only thing I am sure of in this case is the fact that the child was brutally killed. How and where I am not prepared to say. I have some doubt if we'll ever be able to answer this'
 If the police are seeking some definite person in connection with the crime, Chief Maher would not admit it.

 POLICE LEADER DEAD

missioner.
 His was a difficult position. He was succeeding George McLaugh- lin, who had raised highly the standards of the New York police department. But Warren worked well and with Inspector John D. Coughlin kept things moving spirit edly until one November night when Rothstein staggered from the Park Central hotel, mortally shot.
 Public Demanded Action
 Press and public demanded that Rothstein's slayer be brought to justice. He was a character, par ticularly to that half life that is Broadway's own, and the demands on the police department for ac- tivity were great. Once Mayor Walker announced he would give the police department 4S hours to solve the murder or he would take charge personally. Walkers ulti- matum was not enforced, but a few days later Warren-apparentl de- serted even by the mayor-resgn- ed, citing i'll health. He rapidly faded from public view and his po- stion was taken over by Grover Whalen, who resigned a s50,oOo executive position with the John Wanamaker store to become police commissioner.
 Whalen reorganized and re- vamped the police department. But the spectre of the Rothstein case held over him. Added to this came the mysterious staying of Frankie Marlow, a friend of Rothstein, and like Rothstein, a prominent figure in the world which deals in dice, cards and thiEgs just around the legal limit.

head of the third ward delegation.
 His defeat at the hands of cans didate who had once been defeated after serving in the office of mayor was disappointing to the leaders of his party. but it was generally con- sidered that he should be given the opportunity of running again in 1880. When his friends urged that he be elected to the republican town committee chairmanship. dropped by MT. Judd, and presented the ar gument that such position would give him prominence in the conn., munity Jack of which told heavily in his defeat in 1928, the party de- clined him that honor. This action was followed by rumors that bartlett was to be "dumped' as mayoral possibility.
 Reported Opposition
 N-hen, upon the retirement of Frank A. Goddard as third ward councilman. William H. Judd again made ready to come back to public life. political circles huzzed with re- ports hl d llClhtl III IJOD IlVdhtd by Judd. Coupled with these predictions have come persistent reports of anti Bartlett feeling in the so-called ''in- surgent republican bloc" of the coun- cil. in which Alderman J. Gustave Johnson is generally considered to te the dominating influence. These reports have heen strongest in the days which immediately preceded Bartl "'s decision to retire.
 Prominent republicans today fore cast the election of MT. Judd as all derman, and selection of John J. Holloway as councilman. Mir. Judl i served three terms as alderman, and 1 has been president pro tenn. of the council for two terms. MT. Hollo- way was in the councilmanic pri- mary contest of last spring and the vote boiled bv him was net high est to that of the two successfN 1 candidates.

May Start Thursday

Friedrichshafen, Germany, Aug. 13 Pl-Reports of bad weather over northern Russia probably will prevent the Graf Zeppelin's take off before tomorrow night or Thurs day morning on the second leg Of It's world encircling cruise. Com mander of the dirigible, Dr. Eck,s . ner, has not yet made public de- clsion to abandon a start tonight however, indicating he would await further weather reports today from the soviet meteorologists before de- ciding definitely.
 The Russian warning particularly was against northern voyage to which Dr. Eckener had given pre- ference in his plans In deference to the soviet wishes he had said he probably would strike for Danzig and cross into soviet territory near Koenigsbberg and lay his course northward to Leiningrad, former capital of the Czars.
 To Choose Route Later
 At Leningrad the dirigible would turn eastward. and find a convenient path through the Ural mountains where a choice once more would be made of a northerly or southerly route, northward by way of Jakutsk, or southward by way of 1rkutsk. Somewhere in the neighborhood of Chita Siberia. a turn southeastward ha tN al tba 6iri rpi i. ble to pass over Peiping, China, 5n route 10 Tokyo.
 Dr. Eckener has refused steadily to commit himself to any one route, maintaining he would vary greatly from itineraries decided on if weather conditions showed another routing would be more practicable. He even has considered far southerly route which would follow the Danube river to the Black sea and cut eastward from there.
 Would Tax Fuel Capacity A trip of 120-hours-fve days covering between 62O0 miles and 7.500 miles, which would tax the Zeppelin's fuel capacity to the ur- most, is Dr. Eckener's plan. He has arranged to broadcast the air Ehip's position every four hours tc . meet certain criticism leveled at 5 his past trips.
 Friedrchshafen has an air of eX- . rectancy, awaiting denarture of tho . drigible Nowhere is there any , pessimism as to outcome of th5 , flight. Nineteen men and on 5 woman will be aboard as passengers
