PAGE TWO THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER WEDNESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 17, 1919 — ] HARRY NEW ON TRIAL CHARGED WITH KILLING HIS GIRL COMPANION Claims to Be Son of Senator New of Indiana; Has Baffling Defense (By United: Press.) Los Angeles, Cal., December 17.— The question of whether Harry S. New, claiming to be the son of Unit- ed States Senator Harry S. New of Indiana, murdered brown-eyed Frieda Lesser, his 18-year-old sweet- heart, on the night of July 5, started on its way to an answer today. Harry New, appearing to have benefited rather than to have wast- ed away as a result of five months in jail, was brought before Superior Judge Calvin Craig here for trial. While United States Semator New has never visited the man who olaims him as his father the fact that LeCompte Davis, noted California at- torney, sat beside Attorney John L. Richardson at defense counsel’s table recalled to many the only statement on the case that Senator New has made—*"I have never shirked a re- sponsibility and I never will.” Since the days which immediately followed the death of Frieda Lesser, New’s two attorneys have developed a @efense which observers predict will prove baffling.’ By this defense, according to its meager outlines permitted to become known, a flat denial that New mur- dered the girl will be made. New is the only person, the prosecution ad- mits, who could have witnessed Frieda Lesser’s death. He cannot be forced to testify. This plan of defense, attorneys agree, will force the prosecution to rely on two lines of evidence to prove its case. One will be circumstantial evi- dence. The second, and most important, will de the story which New told police detectives when he drove to the central police station here during the grey of dawn of July 6. “I've killed a woman,” he told the detectives when he walked into the station. ‘“‘She’s out there in the au- tomobile.” In the rear seat of New’s sedan, covered with a blanket, was the body of Frieda Lesser, blood from a single bullet wound in the temple clotting 4a mass of curly brown hair. Two hours later New signed an alleged confession. It told in few ‘words the story of a four month’s courtship, and finally an auto ride starting on the evening of July 4, which near midnight found New and Frieda Lesser sitting in the rear seat gf ?e’rw’s sedan, at the roadside in ark Topango canyon, 20 miles fro Los Angeles. = Henry L. Doherty in these days is an international celebrity because of his prominence as an owner of oil, gas and electric properties. He has, for instance, enormous oil properties in Mexico. Just now he is chairman of a committee of petroleum producers and refiners which is negotiating with motor-makers. These producers say the limited supply of petroleum in the United States has forced refiners ‘to put a lower grade gasoline on the mar- ket and automobile manufacturers must readjust their engines to new specifications. This is one of the problems which is expected to come before a statis- tical and research bureau which the American Petroleum institute intends to establish in which the producers, refiners and consumers of oil may join in co-ordinating their efforts for the improvement of the industry. Dr. Van H. Manning, director of ALMOST A RIVAL OF ROCKEFELLER the United States bureau of mines, i8 also chairman of the improvement com- mittee of the institute, and he has made a recommendation to the institute directorate that the new bureau be established with an appropriation of $1,000,000 & year, to be ralsed on a pro rata basis from refiners and producers. Mr. Doherty says a satisfactory solution will be found which will not causeautomobile owners to suffer serious loss in the efficiency of their fuel. Fog as a Creator of lllusion. We do actually perceive different distances with the eye, but judge them from various indications. If you see a person in a fog, for imstance, he seems to be much bigger than usual. You judge him to be farther away than he really is, and consequently he appears uncommonly large. Death by Hanging. In answer to a physician who asks what is the cause of death in hanging, and how soon it ensues, a medical Journa. says that if the knot be prop- erly udjusted, instant death from breaking the spinal cord is produced, but In a majority of cases asphyXia- tion fs the cause of death. In this the man may retain consciousness for from a few seconds to a minute and a ha'ft aud may retain life for from 15 to 20 minutes Subscribe for The Dally Ploneer Agile Rhinoceros. The rhinoceros, nothwistanding its unwieldy shape and short legs, is one of the most aglie of beasts. A horse- man cap scarcely manage to overtake 1t, and In strength it is perhaps un- surpassed by any animal in the forest. In a single combat no animal but the elephant can stand up against it. Tc kill a rhinoceros a rifle ball must strike behind the shoulder. OUCH! RUB OUT RHEUMATIC PAIN Rub Pain, Soreness, Stiffness, Sciatic Right Out With “St. Jacobs Liniment” County fifty! Pain gone.

MRS. M<KINNON HAS GAINED 15 POUNDS Was All Run Down After the “Flu”—Built Up by Taking Tanlac “Nearly the whole of last winter 1 spent in bed with influenza and I never did get over the effects of it until I took Tanlac,” said Mrs. D. McKinnon, residing at 29 Iglehart avenue, St. Paul, Minn., a few days ago. g"I had three different attacks of the ‘flu.” continued Mrs. McKinnon. “I would no more than get strong enough to get up than I would come down with it again and I had a cold and sore throat all the time. The least little change in the weather would cause my throat to get in- flamed and make my cold worse. My sickness left me with no appetite and my stomach in such a bad condition that I could not eat anything but what would hurt me. I was ploated up very badly, had awful pains through my chest, and kept getting worse in spite of all that was done for me. I had such violent head- aches I thought I would go distract- ed and I was so nervous and miser- able 1 could not sleep at night. No one will ever know how I suffered, for I just can’t fully describe it. “I had been reading about Tanlac, but couldn’t make up my mind to try it until one day I saw a girl friend with a bottle. She said, ‘\Why don’t you take this medicine? It’s just what you need,” and then she told me what it had done for her. Well, that convinced me. I got a bottle and it helped me right from the start. Before I had finishe J the first bottle the pain and cloggedrup feel- ing began to leave my chest, and soon disappeared entirely.
