INDIAN To TELL
JURY HOW GIRL
WAS SLAIN
Introduction of Confession
Opposed by Defense as
Trial NearS Close

GLOBE, Ariz., March IS
(I.N.S.). THE white girl
flirted with me. I loved her.
She took a knife out of her
purse. I knocked her down
with a rock. Then I stabbed
her in the neck" ;"
Whether Golney (Mac) Sey-
mour, 21-year-old Apache, will
repeat this statement on the
witness stand today was
clothed in secrecy as his trial
for the murder of Henrietta
Schmerler, 25-year-old Colum-
bia University coed, neared its
close.
The Government charged that
Seymour made the statement in
his written confession at the
White River Apache reservation
November 1, few days after he
was arrested for Miss Schmerler's
murder, which occurred July 18
while she and Seymour were en-
route on horseback to an Indian
dance.
Defense Objects
Defense attorneys objected to
introduction of the confession on
the ground that it was obtained
through an Indian interpreter.
The Government closed its case
after presenting evidence they de-
clared showed conclusively that
Seymour killed Miss Schmerler
during a love quarrel.
John Street, Department of JUS
tice investigator, testified that
Seymour made the confession
voluntarily and in the presence of
six witnesses.
Violated Indian Custom
Defense counsel contended that
Miss Schmerler asked Seymour to
take her to the dance and that
when he arrived at her home on
the afternoon of July 10, she in
vited him in the house, where
they both drank whisky from a
pint bottle until Seymour was feel
ing merry and generous"
Defense attorneys declared that
the liquor caused Seymour to lose
his emotional stability later as he
and Miss Schmerler mounted one
horse and started for the dance.
Indian custom forbids an un-
married girl to ride on the same
horse with a man.
En- route to the dance, defense
attorneys said, Miss Schmerler
was playful andn teased Seymour
and they consumed more liquor
which Miss Schmerler had
brought along.
She Draws Knife
They waded through a deep
wash into a lonely ravine. Sey.
mour said that Miss Schmerler
was friendly with him, according
to counsel, after which Seymour
said he cried because of his un-
faithfulneSs to his Indian Squaw.
He then told Miss Schmerler he
would not take her to the dance
and then she drew a knife, &C.
cording to Seymour'S story to his
lawyers.

He also said that from his
observations of human behavior
and the American people, he is
certain that a new race is de-

of Americans who will know no
barriers of color, social, or eco

SYDNEY, New South Wales, May 13.
Premier j. A. Lang Of New South
Wales was removed from Office today
by the Provincial Governor and B. S. B.
Stevens, leader of the United Australia
party, accepted the Governors invita-
tion to form a provisional government
pending a general election.
Mr.. Lang lost no time in gathering

houses welcomed the news.

that he had approved provincial legis-
iStion levying q 10 per cent tax on
mortgages. This, the Governor con-
tended, was unconstitutional
Dispute Over Foreign Debts.
Beyond that. however. today's de-
velopment is the elimination of differ
ences between Mr.. Lang and the COM
monwealth government over default by
the province on its foreign obligations.
New South Wales defaulted on inter-
est due in London, and New York twice
this year. The commonwealth passed
the financial agreement act, assuming
responsibility for the payments, and
met the installments out of the com
monwealth treasury.
Then the commonwealth earmarked
the provincial income taxes to cover the
payment. Premier Lang locked up the
files. The commonwealth then extended
its earmarking to other sources of
provincial revenue; the premier lost a
court battle to declare the common
wealth's course unconstitutional, and
then he capitulated.
Question Up to Voters.
Normally the voting would have been
some time between now and August
and up to now it has been acknow-
lodged that the result might fall either
way, with an indorse for Lang's policies
or defeat of his. majority in the
assembly.
The decision of the voters has real
interest for the United States, where
investors hold millions of dollars worth
of securities in New South Wales, in
terest payments on which have been
defaulted.
Lang's theory Is that the debts, when
they were contracted, were based on
commodity prices which have been de-
fiated since that time. He held that

BY the Associated Press.
Deprecated currency of foreign coun-

a House committee to have made the
United States tariff laws inadequate.
This opinion was expressed by H. L.
Derby of New York, representing the
National Association of Manufacturers.
and Franklin w. Hobbs Of Boston, ap-
pearing for the National Association Of
Wool Manufacturers.
AS they testified on the Hawley bill
to adjust tariff rates to compensate for
depreciations in foreign money, the
Ways and Means Committee made pub
lie letter from Secretary of the Treas
ury Mills declining to comment on the
desirability of enacting the measure and
another from Silas H. Strawn, presi-
dent Of the Chamber of Commerce Of

Secretary Mills pointed out. however,
that the bill is based on the assumption
that prices in foreign currencies will
not change as result of the deprecia-
ton of the value of the monetary unit.
