There was no court session Friday, due to Arbor Day, but defense counsel was in conference, drawing its lines to battle the testimony given Thurs- day by Dr. Joseph Catton, Stanford university professor and alienist. For ‘four hours, Dr. Catton was on the stand as the prosecution's chief alienist. He told the jury in Superior Judge Howard C. Speakman’s court Mrs. Judd intimated to him she was shielding some one. Asked to Tell Story “why don't you tell ‘the’ complete story? Possibly it would do you some good,” Dr. Catton testified he told Mrs. Judd during his examiantion of her. Her reply, he said, was: ‘I can’t see ee arid me any good and it might harm others.” i Later Dr. Catton said Mrs. Judd, replying to the question “did you do any drinking in the house the night Mrs. Le Ro and Miss Samuleson were murdered?” said: Halloran.” “She quickly placed her hand over her mouth,” Dr. Catton continued, (Continued on page Seven) =o .

Young Member of Official Family |BUROPEAN CHAMPS DECENTRALIZATION “POLICY IS ADOPTED wc BY NANCE GROUP Backbone of Reconstruc- tion Set-Up Washington, Feb. 5—(#)—The re- construction finance corporation has adopted a policy of decentralization yand will endeavor to use all the Present credit facilities of the fed- eral government. The backbone of the corporation's preliminary set-up will be the fed- eral reserve system. District federal reserve banks and their branches will be used as much as possible. They already have credit organizations and know intimately the various: }ocal situations, In addition. the old war finance corporation still has a skeleton or- ganization which will be used wher- ever possible. The hoard of directors conferred Fuday with M. J. Fleming, deputy governor of the federal reserve dis- trict having headquarters at Cleve- land, ‘giving particular attention to the Ohio banking situation. The bard has no railroad loan ap- Plications before it. Announcement by W. W. Atterbury, president of the Pennsylvania railroad that he would apply for a construction loan, was recgived with interest but without comment by members of the board. The board has decided to consider railroad loans only after they have been approved by the railway credit corporation created by the roads re- cently, after the Interstate Commerce commission grantd rate increases, In addition, the law creating the finance corporation requires that all railroad applications be approved by the Interstate Commerce comunis- sion itself before being considered by EIGHT FOUND DEAD INPLANE WRECKAGE Pilot J.

In 1901 he was named a commission- er of elections for New York City and was chosen president of the board. He remained on the board until 1908, when he was appointed super- intendent of buildings.

Shea flashed home tp his double triumph in 2 minutes, 57 5-10 sec- onds, in front of Alex Hurd, speed- lest of the three Canadians who wiped out all foreign. opposition in the preliminary heats to qualify with three members of the U. 8. team. Two Canadians followed Hurd across the line, Bill Logan and Frank Stack, Dominion speed champion, in that order. Ray Murray, New York, was fifth, Herb Taylor, also of New York, sixth. Results Are Surprising ‘The amazing subjugation of the great Scandinavian champions and record-holders reached a new high as three Canadians and three members of the U.

CATHOLIC RULE ON MIXED MARRIAGES MADE MORE STRICT; Children of Such Unions Must, Be Educated as Catholics, Law Declares Vatican City, Feb. 5.—()—Mar-| riage between Catholics and non-! Catholics hereafter will be considered | illegal by the church unless the chil-! dren actually are educated as Catho- ites, a new and stricter ruling issued Friday by the congregation of the; sacred office declares. 1 The ruling, tightening mixed mar- Tiages often have disregarded prom- | ises the children should be reared as/ Catholics. The congregation decided hence- | forth those who obtain the dispensa- | tion of the church for mixed mar- riage must take those promises ser-| iously and that the church no longer) will accept the plea the laws of the! countries where such persons reside! prevent proper Catholic education of | the children, | If necessary, the congregation de-! cided, such persons must refrain| from going to countries there they | would be unable to keep their pledges to the church. In case of any failure to educate the children as Catholics, the church will regard such marriages as illegal. The congregation’s ruling, in the! form of a decree, was approved by} Pope Pius. The text mentions that the step; was taken to “conform with the en- cyclical Casti Connubi” in which the: Pope dealt with many aspects of mar- riage, including certain laxities in mixed marriages. The decree applies to marriages be- tween “Catholics and non-Catholies, | baptised and un-baptized.” | TWO GIRLS AND MAN ARE SHOT'IN CAPITAL Fusillades of Shots From Mov- ing Automobiles Fired in Two Instances ae | Washington, Feb. 5.—()}—Pusil-| lades of revolver shots, fired gangster | fashion from a moving automobile Thursday night felled two high school girls and a government clerk in far apart. sections of the city.

Commenting on the future of the rganization Friday, Conaway said: “There is no indication of a split in the ranks of the Farmers Graindeal- | ers Association of North Dakota. “We have no way of judging the| future except by the record of the past.

Big Figure In Baseball Among the men whose efforts plac- ‘d America’s national game on a high bled, there can be no appeal.” |Standard, none was entitled to more Commenting on the convention ac- jcredit than Dreyfuss. Baseball was his prime interest. Dreyfuss was known as the shrewd- est among the magnates of the major leagues. His business ability and acumen proved valuable assets to the National League when other organi- zations appeared to challenge its posi- ea at the top of professional base- all. .The owner of the Pirates was a strong factor in the defense of the organized game through two baseball wars. The first was that waged by the American League about the time Dreyfuss began to emerge as an im- portant factor in the senior circuit. The second was the attempt of the Federal League to establish itself on an equal footing with the National and American Leagues. During the Federal League war, Dreyfuss had a serious problem to personal fight against invasion. The Federals made Pittsburgh one of the points of their strongest attack by placing a star team there to bid for some of the pa- tronage, in the enjoyment of which the Pirates had been unmolested. Meets Federal Challenge Dreyfuss met the challenge with a team that played up to the usual Pittsburgh and major-league stan- greater attraction than the invaders.

A Chinese troop train was bombed and heavy casualties were inflicted. Japanese planes bombed the Woo- sung forts again but the Chinese still were holding on when the air squad- ron withdrew. _ Japanese ships landed 1,000 blue- jackets to reinforce the men bom- barding Chapei from the Hongkew district, and it was rey a brigade of Japanese infantry would arrive to- morrow. « The U.
