Slashes His
Throat in

Before the horrified gaze of
spi'- tators. George M a n o s ,
charged with conducting a gamb
ling hall, brought his prelimin
ary hearing to an abrupt halt
this morning when he attempted
tn end his life by slashing his
throat with a rator.
Manos seemed despondent.
Since first entering the court this
morning he appeared dejected
and dovvivast. The hearing
seemed to be going aicainst him.
Sergeant A. .L. Kd wards, who
was being rxamrWd. had Just
been Instructed tonring evidence
into the court room. It appeared
that there was a quantity of
paraphernalia which was seized
ntid Judjfi- I). R. Roberts declared
a five minutes' recess
It was Immediately following
Judge Roberts' announcement
that Manos drew a razor.
No one saw hJni In tne actual
act of taking the weapon from
hl.i pocket.
Twice he drew the keen blrde
across his throat.
Spectators saw the red blood
Jet forth.
Weakness firmed to overcome
the mnn rind though he endeav
ored to ctit himself more, his
strength was not sufficient to lift
the razor to his throat.
The self-inflicted wounds bled
copiously, but were too high on
his neck to be fatal-
As Detective Everett Noble and
Attorney George llalverson
leaped for the man. he dropped
the razor, sunk back into his
Ohals and sobbed.
City Physician H W Nelson
was immediately summoned and
dressed the man s wounds.
The heating will be resumed

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6 William D.
Guthrie, and Ellhu Hooi, counsel for'
Christian Kelgenspuhn. S brewer of
Nrwark. N. J., today filed with the
United States supreme court a peti
tion for a reconsideration of the'
court's decision on June 7 sustaining
the validity of tho eighteenth amend
ment and parts of the Volstead en

The petition contended that the I
eighteenth amendment was designed
to deal exclusively with intoxicating
Honors.
Mr. Keigenspnhn. In hLs original
stilt, sought to prose that beer of 2 . T 5 j
per cent alcoholic content was not In-1

The leteet petition points out the'
Import j and the magnitude of the'
questions involved aud declared so far j
us the petitioner has been able to ns-'
certain "there Is no record of any Im-t
portent modei n case Involving such
vital questions being disposed of bj a
court of final resort without explain-:
Ing its conclusion."
The brief said 'it Is difficult to;
measure the force of the conclusions!
six ted by the court or tho deductions
properly to be drawn from them. Fur
thermore the conclusions do not com-i
pletely answer questions actually In-!
volved in the litigation and submitted

The petition declared that the "do-!
cislon has tended naturally to Invite I
criticism and create much public dis-,
satisfaction."
PI BUG is DOl im IT..
It seems, therefore, the petition con-'
tlnued, that it is not lrrevelant or Im-1
proper to urge, ln support of a plea

T"KIO. Aug. 5. (By The Associ

gres.imnn Albert Johnson at Tacoma.
waeh.. August 2. that thousands of
Japanese are smuggled Into the I'nlt
ed States from Japan yearly, Is giv
ing evidences of n tendency to In
crease the feeling with regnrd to the
I'nlted States created b. tho arrival
of the recent American note and sub
sequent newspaper attacks against
America.
With reference to the statement of
Congressman Johnson, who is chair
man of the house sub-committee of
Immigration and naturalization and
has been recently conducting an in
quiry Into the Japanese situation on
the Pacific coast, the foreign office
Uuiay mad" tile following sfn rmeiT "
"Ve can only express surprise at the
extraordinary statement made by Con
gressman Johnson at Tacoma. De
tnils of the scheme-, as outlined by
Mr Johnson, appear fantastic and
most Improbable. While solitary cases
of smuggling come to our notice from
time to time, it is unimaginable that
such an involved and intricate pro
gram as described by Mr. Johnson
should be systematically practiced by
any group of Individuals or organiza
tion. The Japanese government would
rladly co-operate with the American
government ln exposing any such II
legltlmait and underhanded system.
It is hoped that Mr. Johnson will give
the names of the banks, associations
or Individuals concerned. All such
information must be In the hands of
Mr Johnson, who otherwise would not
have made the statement."

ance of the Japanese authorities and

WORDS TO BT1 R Mi8
A plea tbat future questions of peace
and war be decided by the nation's
confelence and not by any council of
foreign powers was voiced by Senator
Harding yesterday In a talk to a Span
ish war veterans' reunion.
"Here in America." he said, "we do
not need uny one to tell us what our
obligation Is. W e can read it In our
own conscience. I want to hold tbe
American conscience strictly and sole
ly American.
"I want America to play it part In
the world but I do not want a council
of foreign powers at any time, for any
reason, to summon the sons of Ameri
ca to battle."
POt Gin FOR HIGH r S
It was e national spirit awakened
to the defense of American rights the
nominee, asserted, that led this coun
try Into both the Spanish war and the
world war and that always could be
counted on to hold the republic secure.
He added that although underlying
considerations of humanity had urged
the I'nlted States Into both conflicts,
It had requested a ph.. aical Infringe
ment of national rights In each CBSS
to start the flame ojt war.
The talk was made In responso to
the clamorous demands of the vet
erans. After h'-s speech they rendered
an old camp fire song for hlni and
sent him away with "Three cheers for
Harding."
