SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 14. Af fording Btriklng contrast to Miss War rington, both physically and in her frank, unabashed method of testify ing, Lola Norrls, a remarkably attract ive girl of 20 took the stand at the Diggs trial, beginning her part of the story upon which Indictments against Diggs and Camlnetti, her companions in the escapade, were based. The cross examination and redirect Interrogation of the Warrington girl concluded shortly before noon, the Je fenso again remorselessly trying to get whatever salacious details were overlooked hitherto. Practically the last testimony by Miss Warrington was a complete refutation of the in sinuations of the defense that the two girls were persuaded to color their testimony in the government's case in order to secure immunity from pros ecution. R. Coghlun, for the defense, asked Miss Warrington if it was not true she had a conference with McNab be fore she went to the feJeral grand Jury and was advised that "unless she told the truth she would be pla in jail and held as a witness." V emphasis on the "No" the witness nled the Imputation of coercion on the part of the government prose cutors. , . It was Just previous to this thr Coghlan announced to Judge Vf Fleet that the opening statement f the defense would be based on the contention of the defense that the Warrington girl was persuaded to col or her testimony to save herself from prosecution under the juvenile act on a charge of contributing to the de pendency of Diggs' and Camlnettl's minor children. With head erect, and waving aside the preferred nupport of a friendly arm, facing the crowded court room with a frank, unabashed gaze, Miss Norrls then began her recital. Her voice did not falter and she did not even hang her head, as Miss War rington had done, even under the sear ching questions ns to the relations of the four. Her 'testimony was ex plicit and needed scarcely any coach lng from Prosecutor Roche, who con ducted the examination for the gov ernment. 200 PULLMAN CARS FOR THE ROUND-UP Fully two hundred Pullman cars, will be run out of Portland over the O.-W.

Henry Lane Wilson, the furloughed ambas sador to Mexico, issued a statement here attacking the recent statement accredited to the Brllsh foreign office, declaring that Great Britain had rec ognized the Huerta government as a provisional government only; that its recognition was prompted by a de sire to contribute to the restoration of order and also because Wilson's congratulatory speech on the occasion of the reception of the Mexico City diplomatic corps by Huerta. Mr. Wilson said: "If this statement really emanated from the British foreign office it is at variance with It's traditions and with the character that It has main tained before the world for two cen turies I doubt the genuineness of the statement, as it is a pure subter fuge unworthy of the British foreign office. As there existed at the time only a provisional government in Mex ico the government of Great Britain could naturally recognize nothing but a provisional government which It did, In exactly the same manner and practically the same phraseology as other European governments."
