This change is urged partly because under the original plan to| run this avenue to the Peace Monu- ment, it would cut off a corner of the | Capitol grounds and would intersect with B street on an incline, making a bad traffic corner. i A careful study has been made’of how the present Botanic Garden site should be landscaped to give the Capi- tol a proper environment on the west front and also display to advantage the Grant and Meade Memorials.

By the Associated Press. JINCINNATI, November 19.—Be: tween granting interviews and receiv ing visitors, George Remus worked to- day on the opening statement of his defense he planned to make ne Monday in_ his murder t ing his wife in Eden Park here, I October 6. Despite two very pointed warnings from Judge Chester R. Shook, Remus, rticipant in six spectacular clashes with opposing counsel or solo outbursts n the five days of the trial, had no plan but to continue as his own chief counsel. Warned by Judge. Judge Shook told Remus that unless the defendant adhered more strictly to recognized court procedure, he would not be permitted to continue as counsel. Yet, in casting about for a rule to govern restraining Remus, some lawyers found none. It was pointed out that Remus was not participating as his own counsel through any legal status as an at- torney, for he is a disbarred attorney. nor any permission granted by the court, but by the written and common law, right of any man accused to de- fend himself if he so wills. Physical restraint could be imposcd, however, it was pointed out, and Charles P. Taft, 2d, Hamilton County¥ prosecutor, said t if there were | other outbursts or disregard for the usual court decorum, he would de- mand that a bailiff be stationed on cach side of Remus to enforce con- formity. Mr. Taft, the recipient of a nh'ynic_ul threat from Remus in yesterday's vio lent outburst, added with a smile that he would be prepared for anything Mr. temus might essay toward wreck- ing him physically. Threatens Taft, That was the threat Remus shouted ith an appropriate gesture, as he reached the highest pitch of his vocal attack upon the young prosecutor, whom he compared to great disadvan- | tage with his illustrious father, Wil- liam Howard Taft, former President, now Chief Justice of the United States. an, it I had you in the corridor, ould wreck you physically!” Remus screamed, his voice breaking high.
