AS he drew near to peer in, the door
was flung open.

PROSECUTION AND DEFENSE
ARGUE HALLORAN' : GUILT
Attorneys For Accused Declare State Has
Not Succeeded In Proving Accusation Fill
ed Against Him.

COURTROOM, PHOENIX, Jan.
"a. U.P)-The state has failed to
prove that Winnie Ruth Judd COM
mitted the murder and therefore
her former wealthy admirer, j. j.
Halloran, cannot be held as an ac-
cessory after murder, Halloran's
attorneys contended today as they
sought to quash charges against him
at his preliminary hearing
There is nothing in this case to
indicate that Mr.. Halloran had a
knowledge that crime was COM
mitted," Attorney Divelbess argued
to support the defense contention
he did not wilfully conceal crime.
If Judge j. G. Niles believes the
testimony of Ruth Judd, there is
no crime, argued Fred Rosenfeld,
another of Halloran's counsel. If
the court disbelieves her testimony
then the state has wholly failed
to produce evidence on which to
hold Halloran, he continued :
"I'll admit the evidence at a pre-
liminary hearing need not be suf-
ficient to convict" said Frank O..
Smith. chief of defense counsel.
"but it must be sufficient to show
reasonable cause. .H

able to convict.

EINSTEIN BLAMES MACHINES AS
REAL CAUSE OF ECONOMIC ILLS

PASADENA, Cal, Jan. "a. up
The so-called machine age has
been a greater contributing factor
in creating the depression than
war debts or other ramifications
of the World war, in the belief of
DR.. Albert Einstein, noted German
physicist.
Emphasizing the present econ
omic crisis in his first American
speech here last night, the scien-
tist suggested that America cease
thinking of war loans in terms of
gold and reduce them to levels
where she can accept goods as pay
ments from foreign debtors. He was

Einstein said, 1T cannot be doubt
ed that the severe economic de-
preston is to be traced back for
the most part to internal economic
causes: the improvement in the
apparatus of production through
technical invention and organiza-
ton has decreased the need for hu-
man labor, and thereby caused the

STATE PLANS
MONEY GUARD
Treasurer Proposes Changes
In Present Set-Up Covering
Bank Deposits.

SACRAMENTO. Cal, Jan. "a.
U.P>-Two significant steps, de-
signed to aid the State of Califor-
mia in weathering the present fin
ancial storm, were announced by
State Treasurer Charles g. John
son today.
They were as follows:
A new financial setup, provided
by bill to be introduced immed-
lately in the legislature, under
which all tax money, regardless of
the purpose for which it in intend
ed, must be deposited in banks by
the state treasurer with the same
security now required for state de-
posts.
Machinery by which the state
will register warrants whenever its
general fund is exhausted-an en-
ergency expected by johnson to oc-
cur soon after the beginning of the
next fiscal year, July l.
"The vast deposits of the state
in some 400 banks are now ade-
quately secured with gilt-edged
government bonds," said johnson.
'These precautions guarantee the
states financial structure against
the slightest impairment due to
banks closing in which the state
carries its money"
Under the proposed new law, in
dividual revolving funds of var
ious state departments would be
abolished. These are at present de-
posted by the department of fin
ance wherever it chooses.
Instead, all funds for all pur-
poses would be turned over to the
state treasurer and disbursed by
the proper departmental officer
against appropriations credited to
his department by warrants of the
state controller.
Under this plan, every dollar of
tax money will be properly secur-
ed and when idle will draw interest
at the highest obtainable interest
rate" said johnson. "It would SIM
plify the financial structure of CAL
ifornia and effect a considerable
saving of money to the state"
johnson estimated the change
could be made with addition of two
tellers and an assistant cashier to
his present office staff.

SENATE OFFERED BRYAN'S OLD
SIXTEEN TO ONE SILVER PLAN

nous Bryan ratio. In the words of
the Wheeler bill:
Every 16 pounds weight of pure
silver shall be of equal value in all
payments with one pound weight
of pure gold, and so in proportion
as to any greater or lesser guam
titles of the respective metals"
At present it takes about 80
pounds of silver to equal the value
of one pound of gold.
The purpose of the Wheeler and
other silver bills is to raise the
price of silver-and it is hoped of
commodities in general.
The silver issue may be disposed
of before Senator Glass, Democrat.
Virginia, permits the senate to ad-
journ at 10 p. m. An IL hour ses-
sion beginning at IL a. m. has been

WASHINGTON, Jan. "a. -
Trebled agricultural prices, mount
ing stock quotations and better
times were offered to the senate
today by Senator Wheeler, Demo-
crat, Montana, in exchange for free
coinage of silver.
William Jennings Bryan's plea
for the debtor was pounded at the
senate over protests of Senator
Glass, Democrat, Virginia, who
said Wheelers proposed 16 to l
silver coinage amendment was for
eign TO the purpose of his pending
bank bill.
A vote may be had tonight on
the 16 to l issue raised by Bryan
in 1896 and advanced now as a
means of cheapening money and
raising commodity prices. Senate
leaders predicted the proposal
would be defeated.
Senator Wheeler placed the sill
YER question inescapably before the
senate. He offered to the Glass
bank bill an amendment for un-
limited coinage of silver at the fa-

elimination of a part of labor from
the economic circuit, and there
by caused a progressive decrease in
the purchasing power OF consum-
ers."
He urged that this belief be ac-
cepted universally instead Of re-
sorting to a more popular theory
of blaming other nations.
1.-THE spreading of this view" he
said, would be important since a
dangerous source of the mutual
embitterment of the nations would
be set aside; from this understand
ing would also grow the spiritual
forces, which could leap to the

CRIPPLED MAN
SAVES LIFE BY
GREAT NERVE

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 24.W.P)
The story of a one-armed
man who operated on himself
and saved his life after being
bitten by a poisonous snake
deep In the wamps of Barataria,
La, was brought here today.
The trapper, Charles A.
Wicheres, of Gretna, La, fell
and landed on a cottonmouth
moccasin, one of the most dead
ly of swamp reptiles, which bit
him on the wrist of his only
arm. With his knife clutched
between his teeth, he slashed
open the snake bite and sucked
out the poison.
Pressing the arm against his
side he walked more than a
mile to his pirogue, mOored in
a canal. There he secured
fishing line and holding it
stretched between his right foot
and teeth, made a torniquet.
This done, he rowed with
his swollen hand to the home
of DIR. Edward c. st. Louis, at
LaFitte, who gave him snake
serum and pronounced the
wound not serious.

Probe Suggested

LOS ANGELES, Jan. "a. UP)-
A request that the state senate in
vestigate crime conditions in Los
Angeles and Hollywood, just as the
Seabury committee did in New
York City, was made in resolu-
ton presented to city council to-
day by Councilman James M
Hyde.
Hyde charged that intimate re-
]ations existed between criminals,
peace officers and "unscrupulous
politicians" in this city.
Only a drastic step can save the
city from rapidly increasing
gangster menace which threatens
to turn Los Angeles into second

When the federal government

LEAGUE ACTS
ON NEW ROW
BY STEWART BROWN
United Press Staff COrresponden

GENEVA, Jan. 24.-The League
of Nations extended its effort to
preserve world peace to the upper
reaches of the Amazon river today
by taking official notice of the
dispute between Peru and Colom-
bia over possession of the tiny jun
gle port of Leticia.
At the request of Peru, the Le-
ticia dispute was added to the ag-
enda of today's league council
meeting
The 10th session of the council
reviewed the Leticia dispute soon
after convening at II a. m. and or
dered the Chaco committee, COM
posed of delegates from ireland
Spain and Guatemala, to prepare
a report fer the present session.
Members of the league knew very
little about the Leticia dispute. The
European press has carried only
mcagre dispatches, usually empha-
sizing how far Leticia is from the
rest of the world.
The council was in an ususual
position because neither party to
the dispute asked that any article
of the covenant be invoked.

which to produce this evidence and
has totally faiIed," Smith con-
tinued.
He pointed out that a blood
smear found on curtain shade in
the death cottage could have been
made by Mrs. Judd and not by
Halloran as the condemned slayer
testified.
"In spite of the wild outbursts
of Mrs. judd on the witness stand,
there is no bitterness on the part
of the defense attorneys or on the
part of Jack Halloran," declared
Smith.
He attacked Mrs. Judd's testi-
mony she had not discussed with
her II attorneys. at one time or
another. the alleged confession
printed in a Los Angeles newspa-
per. ut is impossible that all of
those lawyers would neglect to dis
cuss it with her."
County Attorney REM L. Jen-
nings then outlined what he con-
sidered corroborating evidence to
support Mrs. Judd's testimony.
He cited legal opinions to sup
port his contention that a crime
was committed.
He argued that Halloran knew
of the crimes by declaring that
Mrs. Judd was out of money and
Halloran had agreed to furnish it,
that he failed to do so and she
had to get it elsewhere, his appear
ance at the station, the missing
mattress which Mrs. Judd said
was left outside the death cottage
and not burned, and the blood
smear Oh the shade.
Jennings dcclared that introduce
tion OF her conviction for the slay-
ing of Mrs. LIE Roi at the start of
the hearing and the record of the
state supreme court was sufficient
to show she had committed mur-
der.
