FRICTION PHILIPS
HEALINGS REPORTED
Bl TEXAS WITNESS
WASHINGTON. June 10.—Paul G.
Thompson, mayor of Greenville,
Texas, formerly connected with the
office of the director of sales of the
war department, testified Tuesday
at trial of John L. Phillips of Geor
gia, and others, on charges of con
spiracy in surplus government lum
ber sales. He said he rendered an
opinion while in the war department
against the substitution of hardwood
from the air service for the soft
wood, in which there appeared to be
a shortage under the contract with
Philips\and Stephens for the disposal
of surplus lumber.
In his opinion, he held it would
require a supplemental contract for
the disposal of the hardwood. The
witness said three lawyers in the
legal division passed on the form of
the contract and approved it before
Ernest C. Morse, former director of
sales and one of the defendants, ap
proved the contract. Morse, accord
ing to the witness, bad overruled
contentions of Philips and Stephens
in their efforts to get the contract
construed in their favor. Under
jnorse’s direction, it was shown,
4here had been prepared for the sig
nature of the secretary of war an
opinion adverse to claims of Philips
and Stephens.
W. P. Gleason, also formerly con
nected with the office of the director
of sales, testified of efforts to get
clearances of lumber and what he
described as differences between the
witness and Charles S. Shotwell, an
other of the defendants. Gleason
eaid he complained to Morse, who he
quoted as saying did not, wish to dis
cuss the matter and thereafter would
deal directly with Shotwell as the
witness “appeared to have a chip on
the shoulder for Shotwell.’’
Counsel for Morse elicited from the
witness that differences had existed
between Shotwell and Moise's assist
ants for three months and that tir
ing of the friction, Morse decided to
deal directly with Shotwell.

10 JURORS FAVORED
ACQUITTING BOY AS j
INSANE, IT IS SAID
(Continued from Page 1)
after a brief closing argument
by State’s Attorney E. P. Wil
son, who followed J. L. Kelly,
appointed by the court to defer.. .re-
Dowell. The defense counsel rem.nd
ed the jurors of testimony of Dr. H.
Mason Smith, alienist, who testified
that in h ; s belief McDowell was suf
feting from incurable insanity at the,
time of committing the crime, and
was in an even w se condition at
the present time.
The Judge’s Charge
• T ’■m McMullen. completed the
reading of his charge to the jury a
few minutes before 3 o’clock and ar
guments of couqsel began. Judge
O. L. Dayton, of Dade City, special
assistant to the state’s attorney in
prosecuting the case, jpened for the
state..
In his charge, the court stressed
the different degrees of homicide,
stressing the plea, of insanity in mur
der cases. The law presumes a per
son to be sane, he stated, and it de
volves upon the defense to show
otherwise where such plea is set up,
but the final determination whether
or not the accused had sufficient
reason at the time of committing the
crime to distinguish between rig it
and wrong rests upon the jury. In
reaching a verdict the jurors were
cautioned to use common sense such
as govern their every day actions.
It was not to be Presumed, the
judge charged, that a person is to
be considered insane merely because
of the fact that he has committed a
crime nor becau e of the enormity of
the crime. If they could not recon
cile the evidence produced, they
should consider that which they b r
lieved, he told them.
Defense Takes Floor
J. L. Kelly, for the defense, fol
lowed Judge Dayton, who finished
the first argument for the state at
3:30 o’clock. He reminded the jurors
that he had been appointed by the
state to defend McDowell, and was
getting nothing for his services;
therefore, it was obvious, that he
was only trying to help them in
arriving at a just verdict. They had
pledged themselves, he leclared, to
discard .he “stuff ,hey had read in
the newspapers” which he said had
been written “by the column where
the story might have been told in
an inch” in order to make attractive
reading. He had learned, he said, |
that such was the requirement of a
“good newspaperman.”
He reminded the twelve men of
the testimony of Dr. Smith, who de
clared the defendant was insane at.
the time of the crime, and asked if
they would believe him. or base their
verdict on declarations made by
Judge Dayton thut it had been shown
that McDowell was guilty of first
degree murder and that they should
render their verdict accordingly.
Mr. Kelly completed his argument
a few minutes after 4 o’clock.
Prosecution’s Argument
“If you believe this young man
knew what he was doing when he
sent his sleeping mother into eter
nity, it is your duty to send him to i
the electric chair,” declared State’s ’
Attorney Wilson in opening the dos- ■
ing argument for the state.
He called attention of the jury to I
the time of the crime, late, on a i
stormy night. The defendant was I
found, the attorney asserted, at the ;
foot of the bed where lay his slain I
parents, "weeping as though his '
heart would break.”
Dr. Smith, the alienist, testified, j
the prosecutor pointed out, that the ’
youthful slayer’s mental condition
I was such that he was incapable of '
I showing emotion.
Referring again to testimony of I
i Dr, Smith that McDowell thought I
he was doing right “in his enfeebled ■
way of thinking.” when he attempt
ed .to cover up the crime.
“If he thought, he was doing right,
I why in the name of God didn’t he (
■ shout it from the housetops? That I
i is what people, usually do when they I
j do that which is right,' ’ e exclaimed.
■ Alienist’s Testimony.
McDowell is suffering from a '
hebephrenic type of iementia
praecox. according to Dr. Smith.
The characteristics of this type of 1
persons. Dr. Smith stated, are a los-
I of interest in everything except the !
individual himself and a complete
paralysis of all emotions.
"There is a disposition to yield to
the most absurd impulses which ari®e
in the individual, and a praecox does
many things very ridiculous, for
which he will not undertake to give
any explanation,” the alienist said.
Vivid Hallucinations.
“The disease is attended by the
most vivid and bizarre hallucinations ,
Those are more frequently hallucina- j
tions of hearing, in which false j
voices are heard and sometimes com j
mantis are received through these j
voices. Other sensations are some- '
times involved in their hallucinations
of seeing, smelling, etc.
"There is a loss of sense values
and judgment, but a ease of de- i
mentia praecox is most always well
oriented. The intelligence becomes
very superficial or shallow.
“This condition is characterized bv
frequent outbursts of excitement,
during which times the delusions are
more pronounced and the hallucina
tions more vivid. Between these
i outbursts, or episodes, the patient
may ’>e quiescent, hut the general

LONG LINE OF FAVORITE SONS
SHYLY “ADMIT” WILLINGNESS
TO BE WOOED BY DEMOCRATS
lAnti-McAdoo Forces Kindle
j Hope in All the Non-En
tities as Final Effort to
Check His Advance
BV RALPH SMITH
NEW YORK. June 11.—If the
i Democratic national convention has
' difficulty in naming a presidential
ticket, it won’t be due to the lack
of on abundance of “admittedly”
available material; The political at
mosphere of this big town is sur
charged today with speculative gos-
I sip about no less than twenty can
, didates for the nomination, who “ad
mit” their availability. Some of
them are well, widely and favorably
known; others are scarcely known
beyond the borders of their own
states.
I McAdoo is the outstanding- candi
date. Unquestionably, he is within
striking distance of the nomination.
j Unless the tide of sentiment run
| ning his way is checked, his nOmi
j nation on a relatively early ballot
is assured. In this event, of course.
I many of the ambitious favorite sons
may never again be heard of after
their names have once been pre
sented to the convention and they
have received a complimentary bal
lot or so.
Al Smith, the popular governor of
New York state, is conceded to be
j McAdoo’s strongest opponent for the
j nomination, but thoughtful politi-
I clans in New York do not regard his
candidacy with seriousness. 'they
■ believe him less likely of winning
1 the nomination than any of the
score whose names have been men
tioned.
Right at this juncture of the pre
convention jockeying, the Smith
men and ail other forces and in
fluences opposed to McAdoo are do
ing everything in their power to
kindle the fire of hope in the breast
of every favorite son. That is their
only chance of preventing McAdoo
from carrying away the nomination
during the early stages of the bal
loting. That is why one hears so
; much favorite son talk in the hotel
lobbies just now.
It now seems likely that certainly
eighteen candidates will be placed
in nomination. Referring to the
alphabetical arrangement of states,
I am reminded of the following
“starters” in the presidential free
for-all: . , .
Senator Oscar W. L nuerwood, '*(
Alabama; Senator Joe Robinson, of
Arkansas: William G. MeArioo, of
California: Homer S. Cummings, of
Connecticut; ex-Senator
Saulsburv, of Delaware; Mayor Wil
liam E. Dever, of Chicago, and ex-
Secretary John Barton Payne, of
Illinois; Senator Samuel Ralston, of
Indiana; ex-Secretary E. T. Mere
dith. of Iowa; Governor Johnothan
Davis, of Kansas; Governor Albeit
Ritchie, of Maryland: Senator Wood
bridge Ferris, of Michigan: Gov
ernor Char.es W. Bryan, of Ne
braska; Governor George W. Selz.er.
of New Jersey: Governor Al Smith,
of New York: Senator Royal S.
Copeland, of New York: ex-Governor
James M. Cox. of Ohio: Senator
Carter Glass, of Virginia: former
Ambassador John W. Davis. of
West Virginia: Senator John R.
■ Kendrick, of Wy ’ing.
i It is believ.rl that every- one of
.those mentioned above. excepting
I perhaps John Bartort Payne, of Llli
' nois. and Royal S. Copeland, of
I New York, will he presented tn the
' convention, before a ballot is taken.
The nominating speeches will be
: limited to probably’ minutes, and
it is a safe surmise that every ora-
I tor W use every minute of his
I allotted time. Thus, it seems cer
! tain that at least eight hours will
, be consumed in nominating speeches,
not to mention the time that will
ibe required for the seconding
I speeches.
And in addition to the time re
i quired for the actual flow of elo
j quence, allowance must be made for
the demonstrations after the pres
entation of each and every candi-
I date. It is within the bounds of
■conservatism to estimate that the
I demonstration® for both McAdoo
and Smith will continue with un
abated enthusiasm for an hour or
mote. Indeed, keen rivalry in the
matter of enthusiasm may be ex
pected between the forces of these
I two cand ’ates. ♦Each will try to
i outdo the < and the presiding
i officer is yet to be born who can
j check a demonstration once it sets
under way in a national convention.
The fact that so many candidates
’ are to be placed in nomination ob
viously makes it impossible to fore
cast with any degree of certainrv
’he “first ballot strength” of either
McAdoo nr Smith, who are admit
tedly the leading contestants.
The firs’ real test of strength in
I the convention, in these circum
j stances, will not come until after
i many of the favorite sons have been
I complimented, and there is no pos
' sible way of knowing just how long
* any* particular delegation will keep
' ’he name of its favorite son before
■ the convention.
Anti-McAdoe leaders, as pointed
I bia, specialist finds it necessary to
I remove eye.

out, are exercising all of their skill i
and ingenuity to keep alive favorite
son fires as long as possible, hop
ing in this way to hold McAdoo's
real strength to the minimum. They
know full well that McAdoo is the
second and real choice of most state
delegations that have favorite sons.
j Arkansas,-Virginia, Kansas, Wyo
’ ming and Nebraska are among the
i states that have favorite sons in
the race, but which are at heart for
| McAdoo. That is one of the reasons
why one hears so much talk in
1 New York about the popularity of
' Senators Robinson and Glass and
1 Kendrick and Governors Davis, of
Kansas, and Bryan, ofc Nebraika.
The anti-McAdoo forces are engaged
in encouraging the candidacies of
these men, not in the expectation
or hope that any’ of them can or will
be nominated, but. in the desire, of
keeping their votes out of the Mc-
Adoo column.
Notwithstanding the gossip bout
favorite sons and the strong ntl-
McAdoo propaganda one encounters
in the hotel lobbies, the biggest mor
sel of gossip in New York today’ is
the row in the Smith camp. Lead
ers in the governor’s headquarters
are at daggers’ points over the pro
hibition question, and it is said that
Franklin Roosevelt is on the verge of
retiring as chairman of the Smith
I campaign, committee.
| After McAdoo’s Florida, victory.
(Roosevelt gave out a statement de
(lpring- that Governor Smith would
not insist on amendment to the Vol-
Ls-tearl prohibition act. He said, in
‘effect, that Governor Smith’s dele
gates would make no fight for any
Iplatform plank favoring a. modera
ition of the Volstead law, but would
'accept the inevital ie and seek to
ipominate the governor on a “dry”
I platform.
Os course Tammany Hall lei out a
squawk, and since then there has
been much backing and filling ;bout
th® prohibition issue. Tammany
leaders protested that the governor
lis committed to the amendment of
:the Volstead act, and that he cannot
‘expect to make any headway' as a
I presidential candidate unless he!
(stands pat in his opposition to the!
! Yolstead act.

RIOTERS ON CARPET
TOKIO. June 9.—(By the Associ
ated Press.) —Belief was expressed
i here today that the peak of anti-
American agitation has been passed,
but regardless of that forecast, ef
forts to extend the Japanese boycott
against things American could be
observed today.
Delegations of members of the
“Great,Forward society,” Lhe organi
zation which arranged Saturday
night’s demonstration at the Im
perial hotel, visited the larger de
partment stores, trying to persuade
the stores not to sell American mer
chandise.
Handbills urging not only a com
plete American boycott but also one
against all luxuries as a measure of
( ec momic patriotism, were scattered
throughout the city by’ the same or-
I ganization.
j Attributing lheir action to “public
demand” owners of motion picture
theaters here at a general meeting
today launched a boycott against
American films.
Beginning July* 1, the theater
proprietors will not buy or rent
American films or show them in
their theaters, according to a reso
lution passed at the meeting. A.n
other resolut ion was passed pledging (
the owners to co-operate in an et- I
fort to make the boycott lation-!
wide.
Several motion picture theaters!
showing A meric films were forced
to close when they were invaded by
gangs similar to that which broke
up the hotel dance Saturday eve-,
n i n g-.
Later the Tokio theater-owner.®
sent a committee to Osaka to urge
extension of the boycott to that
section.

suicide at the exclusion of the new
American immigration law, is re

out today that Janan still is ob
serving the "gentlemen’s agree
ment” with the United States and
that all Japanese who will enter the
United States before Hie exclusion
measure goes info effect are entitled
to do so under that arrangement.
The government is not attempting
to aid an unwarranted immigration
to America, they declared. Japan
tvill continue to observe the “gentle
men’s agreement.” until it is for
mally denounced, the spokesmen
asserted.

KATO ACCEPTS MANDATE
TO FORM NEW MINISTRY
TOKIO, June, 9.—(By the Associat
ed Tress.) —Viscount Taka-Akira
Kato tonight accepted the command
of Prince Regent Hirohito to form
a new cabinet, asking, however,
that he might be given a few days.
His ministry will succeed that of
former Premier Kiego Kiyouara,
and will be a coalition affair, accord
ing to the vernacular newspapers.
• The tentative line-up of depart
i mental ministers, as forecast by the
! press, includes two members of the
! Sieyukai party which is considered
• an absolute master of the diet, one
j member of the Kakushin (reform)
! club, and other ministers drawn
from the Kenseikai "party, of which
! Premier Kato is the leader except in
the foreign office and the war and
navy detriments.
It is Considered probable? that
Minister of War Ugaki will be the
only holdover from the Kiyoura
cabinet.
Viscount Korekiyo Takahashi and
Ki Inukai have been offered port

Baron K. Shidehara, former am
bassador to the United States, and
Viscount Kikujiro Ishii, former min
ister to Paris and special envoy to
the United States in 1917 when the
famous Ishii-Lansing agreement was |
signed, are considered the likeliest
candidates for the foreign office
portfolio. It is believed in some

It is understood that if Shidehara
