FALL-DOHENY PLEA URDER ADVISEMENT _Arguments on Motion to | Quash Bribery Indict- ments Completed. Justice Willlam Hitz, presiding in Criminal Division 2 of the District Su preme Court, late yesterday took under advsement arguments for and against the motion by -Edward L. Doheny, wealthy oil operatot; his son, Edward L. Doheny, jr., and Albert B. Fall, former Secretary of the Interior, to . quash the indictments charging them with bribery. Frank J. Hogan and Mark B. Thomp- | son for the accused and former Sen ator Atlee Pomerene and Owen J. Rob- erts, special Government oil counsel, participated in_the arguments which occupied virtually the entire session of the court yesterd Should J Hitz sustain the de- murrers to the indictments, which were | returned nearly three years ago, the Government could appeal_to the Dis- trict of Columbia Court ®f Appeals. Should he overrule the demurrers, however, the defense would have no right of appeal under the recently en- wacted Walsh law and the defendants would have to go to trial. The bribery indictment is the last of the cowrt cases against the elder Doheny growing out of the oil leases. He already has been stripped of the oil properties obtained under the Gov- ernment lease by the decision of the United States Supreme Court and a jury here has acquitted him and Fall ©of the charge of conspiracy to defraud the Government. CRUELTIES CHARGED BY MRS. CARRINGTON Husband Beat Her and Daughter With Cane, She Says at Hearing. By the Associated Pres: CHICAGO, April 9.—A sordid narra- tive of physical and verbal encounters was unfolded by Mrs. Anna Walsh Snyder Carrington yesterday in the divorce suit brought by her husband, Col. Edward C. Carrington. Her testimony was punctuated with emphatic denials of any wrongdoing ‘with the colonel’s brother and lifelong law partner, Campbell Carrington. Campbell is named as corespondent in the suit, to which she has filed a cross bill asking for $300,000 alimony. Col. Carrington charges desertion and in- fidelity. His wife accuses him of cruelty. A dramatic moment was reached when Mrs. Carrington was asked to describe the scene in her apartment in New York the night of March 16, 1926. Tears and the noon recess saved her from testifying until she regained her composure. “He was’ intoxicated,” said Mrs. Carrington, “and when my daughter, Elinor Snyder, came into the room he turned upon her, calling her vile names. I could stand it no longer and T slapped his face. Elinor slapped his face—our only recourse, “Without a word of warning he struck Elinor across the face with his cdne, a horrible blow, and the blood ‘spurted over everything. I leaped to catch her as she fell and he struck me behind the ear. “Elinor finally escaped from the room and called help.” Mrs, Carrington said she and her husband had many - quarrels over finances. ————— $600,000,000 in Radio Sets. The total replacement value of re- ceiving equipment in use today was placed at $600,000,000 by L. B. Ray- croft of the Electrical Manufacturers’ ‘Association. This was based on an average valie of $100 to a set, he said, adding that the widening or a shifting of the broadcast band would place a 20 per cent tax on each list- ener who strove to improve his set to_meet such _a_change.

First Lieut. 8. D. Talimadge, Quar- termaster Col who heard Senator King speak, is reported to have told the soldiers afterward that while Sen- ator King represented one view of the situation, there was also another view, should not form an opinion until the; ad heard some one of equal impor tance give the other view. It was said today that Senator King's remarks aboard the transport were no different from %vhat the Sena- tor had said in effect on numerous occasions before, both in the United States Senate and elsewhere, and that he addressed a group of soldiers who had been in the Army for many years. The possible deleterious effect upon the soldiers who heard him was dis- counted strongly, and it was added that even had he been addressing a group of raw recruits, his words would have done no harm. Senator Admits Talk. Although admitting that he made a talk to soldiers on the transport in which he discussed relations be- tween the United States and Haiti, Senator King denied today that he had heard any criticism of his ad- dress and said that he had. no knowl- edge of any reports having been made to the War Department as a result of the incident. “I have not seen the report, If one has been made to the War Depart- ment, with reference to my re- marks,” Senator King sald, “so 1 cannot categorically answer yet. 1 can state, however, what was said and if any report is made contrary to_the same it is inaccurate.” The Utah Senator then explained that the chaplain on the transport, who is an Army officer, stated that he and the soldiers were desirous that the Senator should address them. He |said he asked the chaplain upon what {subject it was desired he should talk. Senator King said the chaplain re- plied that there had been considerable discussion among the soldiers concern- ing Haiti and the reasons for the ex- clusion of the Senator from that country and that it was desired to have him speak upon that matter. Says He Spoke 20 Minutes. Senator King recalled that he spoke for about 20 minutes, devoting abeut 1half of that time to opportunities which the soldiers had of serving their country and of visiting various parts of the world. He said he explained his attitude to- ward the keeping of American forces in Haiti, declaring that the people of Haiti had the right to self determina- tion and to decide for themselves what kind of government they wanted and what persons they wanted for their public servants. Senator King said that at the con- clusion of his remarks an Army offi- cer whom she did not know ‘‘said a few words to the effect that Senator King had stated his position, but that doubtless there was another side i to the case and that all would keep an open mind on that as well as all other controversial questions.” U. 8. Withdrawal to Be Urged. Senator King announced that as soon as Congress meets he would in- troduce his resolution providing for the withdrawal of American forces from Haiti, According to Senator King the peri- 0d of service of the soldiers he was addressing, was drawing to a close, He said he told them they undoubted- ly would be welcomed back into the civil ranks, where there would be full opportunity for addtional service to their country. Senator King said he told the en- listed men that in 1804 the Haitian people had_established a republic by throwing off French control and that they had maintained a government for more than a century which had dis- charged its international obligations. He said in his talk on the transport that the Haitians had adopted a re- publican and liberal constitution pro- viding for'a national legislature some- what similar to the American Con- gress and that one of the provisions of the constitution prohibited the hold- ing of Haitlan land by foreigners. Senator King said he told the sol- diers he regarded that as a wise pro- vision because of the limited area of cultivated land and the large popula- tion; ‘that in 1915 the United States sent war vessels to a Haitian port, landed considerable military forces: that martial law was proclaimed and that the government of Haiti was taken over by American military forces. He said he also stated that fol- lowing the military occupation there were conflicts betieen the Haitlans and the occupying forces which re- sulted in the death of several hun- dred Haitians, The Senator said he referred to the fact, “that there was complaint by Haitlans because a large loan had been negotiated since the United States had been in Haiti and that they regarded that circumstance as meaning that the United States was to remain indefinitely in Haitl in order to see that the loan was pald.” Refers to Ban by Halti. The Senator then told of the steps taken by President Borno of Haiti to 1hnr him from visiting that country, which attitude he ascribed to the posi- tion he has taken in the Senmate on the Haitian situation. Senator King sald he told the isoldiers ‘that he was speaking only for himself and that in the Senate his position had been one of opposition to any form of imperialism or any policy which would interfere with the right Qf a people to govern themselves. He recounted briefly the issuance of Y the orders by President Borne against his entering Haiti, which order, he id, he felt he should respect because there was at least a defacto govern- ment in Haiti. i Noted Horseman Dies.

FITZENS DISLA MONE SEREEN Lone Woman Present as Brightwood Association Denies Discourtesy. A Jone woman last night braved the alleged “smoke screen” at.the meet- ing of the Brightwood Citizens' Asso- clation in Holy Comforter Parish Hall, 5718 Georgia avenue and listened attentively to the adoption of a reso- lution on the recent charge that wom- en were “smoked out’ an smokers of the association, She was Mrs. Gladys C. sons, vice president of (he association and chair- man of the committee on schools of both the Brightwood Assoclation and the Federation of Citizens' Associa- {tions. In response to a query from President Charles W. Ray, Mrs, sons remarked that Jjections to smoking Members of the association kept a careful check on William McK. Clay- ton, who was charged with smoking ing and during the three-hour session last night had consumed only three. In order tnat his colleagues might join him in a “smokefest,” he donated a box of clgars, which the members puffed on throughout the evening. Discourtesy Disclaimed. John Claggett Proctor addressed the association on the smoke situation and expressed regret in a resolution “that the association felt called upon (o deny generally the published state- ment that the woman members have been treated with discourtesy atl our meetings, the same being based on an anonymous communication ad- dressed to the Federation of Citi- zens' Associations.” The resolution, as adopted, pro- {vided “That since there is no rule of the association against smoking— on which the discourtesy is based— naturally a limited few do indulge themselves moderately at all meet- ings, but never, so far as the associa- tion s aware, to the discomfort of any one; nor has this privilege been accorded men exclusively, and it the women have not availed them- selves of the latitude offered, it is because they have not cared to do s0, since we most assuredly believe in equal rights. Incidentaally, and as a partial refutation of the charge at least of ‘smoking women out’ the association calls attention to the fact that of its 10 elective officers only 3 are smokers. Regarded as “Serious Joke.” “We look upon the matter as a se ous joke; most serious because of the attempted injustice to Willlam McK. Clayton, who is known to be always a gentleman irrespective of his com- pany—men or women; and in conclu- slon we more than anything else de- plore the giving of this unidentified communication to the press by the president of the federation, as has been alleged, and if the same is true, condemn the same as an act of indis- cretion,” The resolution was unani- mously adopted. Announcement was made that the new junior high school would be named the Edward C. Paul, jr., appropriation for a site having been made by the last Congress, but which has not been se- lected as yet. W. 8. Kinney presented a resolu- tion, which was adopted, opposing an increase in the gasoline tax in the District. ‘Mrs. Parsons urged that tha board of education be requested to provide shades for the public schools, stating that it is injurlous to the pupils’ eyes where such shade is not provided. The association adopted a resolution cover- ing the request. Street Improvements Asked.
