LILA GUARDED
BY TROOPERS
IN HOSPITAL
Woman on Trial for Death
Of Artists Wife Believed
to Have But Year to Live
By JAMES L. KILGALLEN

by JAMES L. KILGALLEN
BUFFALO. N. Y, April 2 GIN.
SO.-While the greatest secrecy
today surrounded the next move
IN the trial of Lila Emerson, In
dian girl accused of instigating the
hammer Staying of Mrs. Clothilde
Marchand, it was learned by Inter
national News Service her attor.
neys consider asking her to plead
guilty of murder in the second de-
gree. Thus she would automati.
cally escape the possibility of
death in the electric chair.
! Lila was in City Hospital this
morning, seriously i'll, following
her collapse in court yesterday
when she became subjected to
severe coughing, which accentu-
ated her tubercular condition.
There was little prospect that the
trial, scheduled to be resumed this
forenoon could proceed.
Accept Lesser Plea
Although the lawyers themselves
would not discuss the situation, it
was learned from an unimpeach-
able source that District Attorney
Guy B. Moore indicated to one of
the attorneys for the defense that
ne would accept the lesser plea.
The defense attorneys were
dubious over the wisdom of
entering a plea of guilty to mur-
der in the second degree.
First of all the defense law
yerS would consult with Lila in
the hospital before any definite
step was taken.
Lila was too Ill to appear in
!, court this morning and the case
was again delayed when Judge
F. Bret Thorn granted an ad-
journment until o'clock this
afternoon.
Condition Is Serious
Lila, VIII collapsed in the
courtroom yesterday morning, is
in City Hospital, where her con-
dition is said to be serious.
AS a possible obstacle of her
agreeing to make such plea
was the fact that a long i'm
prisonment would be tantamount
to a death sentence to her. 1t
has been stated during the trial
that she has only a year to live,
so serious is her tubercular con
dition. Then, too, there is the
possibility that the jury might
even acquit her.
The most stringent precautions
were taken at the hospital to
prevent information from leaking
out regarding the condition OF
Lila. She was in a private ward
on the third floor, outside OF
which was stationed a State
trooI er. On the main floor, an.
other trooper, pistol strapped on
his thigh, maintained a watch on
, reporters.

eminent in European leagues, tribunals
and fiscal conferences in which the
! fixed purposes of the international n
nancierS and industrialists to reduce the
American economic level, for their own
power and profit, to the low European
level will inevitably be furthered. This
purpose was clearly stated in the third
article of the League of Nations cove
nant This proposal having been re-
jected by the American people, it is now
sought to attain it by other means.
I'VE are against further sacrifice Of
American to foreign interests While
there is unemployment of serious pro-
portions in the United States We believe
that there is no excuse for permitting
the displacement of the product of the
American factory. mine and farm by
foreign commodities cheapened through
starvation wages for workers, and that
there is no justification for swelling the
ranks of our unemployed by the yearly
admission of vast army of emigrants
from foreign lands. We believe that so
far from this being an unfriendly policy
toward the rest of the world, the pros
perity of the United States is essential
to the prosperity and stability of the
world generally.
Principles Not Applied.
"The present depression represents no
failure of Republican policies, but a
failure promptly and fully to apply Re-
publican policies. The Democratic party
offers as an alternative the stupid plan
of further destruction of our economic
defenses, policy which may have had
some justification while the South was
strictly agricultural but is menace to
the industrial growth which has begun
to give the South it's share of the bene-
fits of the protective policy.
I'VE oppose further invasion of Fed
eral power upon State and local rights
7 and duties. We oppose further ad-
vances toward State socialism, which
abandons the American tradition of
manly independence for the individual
and accepts the outworn European
tradition of the citizens as slave to
power holding politicians.
1T Is significant fact, as shown by
the recent Senate investigation, that
the present intense agitation on the
prohibition question has been heavily
financed by powerful interests having
an object in dividing the American peo-
pie bitterly on question of domestic
policy, in order that their attention may
be diverted from conspiracy by these
same interests to reduce the American
masses to the general low economic level
of the rest of the world for the profit
of few. We are opposed to that over
Capitalization of finance and industry,
which is destroying States rights, in
dependent industry, banking and mer-
chandiSing, and which, not satisfied
with the merging policy in the United
States, is chiefly responsible for the pro-
gram of merging American industry,
finance and politics with that of the
rest of the world"

they were invited to plant memorial
trees. A picnic was planned in the
vast park and at its conclusion the
trees were set-for the general cypress
and for Mrs. Grant a magnolia grandi-
flora. This interesting event occurred
on August IS, 1879, and on each recur-
ring anniversary certain ceremonies are
held under the trees, now of giant
growth, after the manner observed in
Washington at the base of the statues
of heroes in the public parks. This
month particularly solemn ceremonies
will mark the day, and two attaches of
the Foreign Service who participated in
the planting have issued special invi-
tations. They are Viscount Eichi Shi-
busawa and Baron Takashi Masuda,
both of whom served in minor roles in
the legation and embassy of Japan in
Washington. Practically the same pro-
gram will be repeated, and many citi-
Zens of the Republic now in the Orient
will be present. But there will be one
notable change. When Gen. Grant took
spade in hand the japanese band
played Hail Columbia" that being &C
cepted as national air as good as any
which offered Now having a national
anthem appointed as such by congress
sional enactment, It follows that after
the swelling notes of the Japanese
hymn The Star Spangled Banner" will
be redered. Stone monuments at the
base of each tree tell their history.

DAVIS GETS NEW
TENNIS PARTNER
Nicholas Roosevelt's Ap-
pointment as Vice Governor
Brings Competition.

NEW YORK P).-Dwight w. Davis,
Governor General of the Philippines
got a new tennis partner when Mich
olas Roosevelt was appointed Vice Gov
ernor.
Although not q tournament player
Roosevelt will offer good foil to the
thrllsts of the donor Of the Davis Cup
friends say.
And after their tennis match, If
something is wrong with the garden,
Roosevelt can attend to that, too. His
one real hobby is the garden and
grounds on his Summer home at Hew-
lett. on the south shore of Long Island.
Roosevelt, an editorial writer on the
New York Times from 1928 until his
appointment, has long been a close
student of Far Eastern affairs. He
was a great admirer of the policies OF
Gen. Leonard Wood, who was Governor
of the Far Eastern possession for sew
eral years.
Born 81 years ago at Oyster Bay,
Long Island, his father was first
cousin of President Roosevelt and one
of his closest personal advisers. Young
Nicholas grew up in an atmosphere OF
national and international affairs.
He spent several months in Manila
as Gen. Woods guest and made an
intensive study of the Philippines.
Graduated from Harvard in 1914
Roosevelt was attached to the embassy
at Paris when war was declared. He
enlisted in the American Army, echlev-
ing the rank Of captain. During the
Peace Conference he was military aide
to President Wilson.
He was only an average student, but
rowed on his class crew, played q good
game of squash and tennis and was
popular with his fellow students.
Unmarried, during the Winter he
lives with his mother at the family
estate at oyster Bay.

pitable to all from this part Of the
world who remain for a sojourn in his
marvellous Rocky Mountain home. His
name always will be associated with
the great run at Cripple Creek but Mr..
Penrose has become a part of his new
home and most loyal to all its aspi-
rations. 1t Is to him the land where
his dreams came true, and he has
beautifled a glorious peak overlooking
Colorado Springs with a mansion which
seems to spring from the rocks. and
with a garden the like of which the
Centennial State cannot show. In the
few level spaces he has laid out a golf
course, but 1t is only u miniature one,
since even such a versatile engineer
cannot compel qualities in the golf ball
which pertain to goats, and when the
owner really wishes prolonged games he
sails for his favorite field near Cannes
He is spending the present Summer in
the French riviera, that section where
golf is best, having as fine hot weather
climate as 1t has in Winter. But his
home is open to friends from Washing
ton, and his old home in Philadelphia,
with staff of retainers who reach per-
lection in the matter of looking after
chance guests. Mrs. Penrose was a
member of the well known Mcmillan
family of Detroit, long identified with
the political and social world here.
