ED GONEAU GIVES
TESTIMONY FOR
LOTISSO DEFENSE
Ed Goneau, who-drove the auto
mobile in which Lotisso and his wife
rode preceding the fatal shooting of
the wife on the night of November
30, 1920, was a witness today for
the defense in the trial of Thomas
Lotisso on the charge of murder.
At the former trial Goneau was a wit
ness for the state, but after the trial he
was arrested and bound over to the
grand Jury on a charge of perjury.
His testimony today Was substantially
the came as given in the former trial.
The chief feature was that there was
no screaming or protestation on the part
of Tessie Lotisso as witnesses for the
elate have testified to.
Shortly after' court convened this
morning' the state concluded its ', testi
mony with evidence to show that the de
fendant had a full realization of the
shooting. Dr. George Parrfsh testified
that he saw Lotisso at the police station
and that he was cool and collected, pos
sibly a little defiant
Grant ghowerman, a newspaper re
jwrter, testified that In Interviewing Lo
tiHO after the shooting he asked the de
fendant what his motive' was and that
the defendant said that his wife would
jiot return to him. "The defendant."
added the witness, "said that he realized
what he had done and said. I don't care
if they hang me in the morning.' "
The first witness for the defense was
Barney Lotisso, father of the defendant,
who testified to the injuries received by
the defendant in early life which, it ie
rlaimed, have affected his mental condi
tion. Similar testimony was given by Mrs.
"Jennie Lopez, sister of the defendant.

robbery, as all valuables were stripped
from the victim.
CRIME OF RECEJTT DATE
From every indication the man was
slain two or three days ago, probably
Saturday night or, Sunday.
This fact lends strength to the theory
that the victim was taken to the scene
after the shooting, as R. B. White of The
Journal mechanical department, gave
some Information this morning which
agrees with the time of the shooting.
White was driving to his home just be
yond the Hoffman place Saturday night
about 11 o'clock when he heard a car
with motor racing coming up behind him
on the Barnes road. As his radiator was
hot, he did not care to speed up, so Jie
drew to ,one side of the road to permit
the other car to pass.
WOULD NOT PASS WHITE
The other car, however, held behind
White's car and did not pass, although
he was given several opportunities.
White noticed the car turn into the
side road to the Hoffman place. He paid
little attention at the time, although Vi
knew thei temporary occupants of m,
premises did not own the car. Later in
J the sight he heard the rumble of a car,
but during the night he did not hear the
sound of revolver shots which .he says
;he could have heard had there been
shots.
Deputy Sheriffs Chrlstofferson. Beck
man, Schirmer and Kendall were bending
; all their energies this morning to estab
lishing the identity of the man, as they
, believe that to be their only chance of
i finding1 a clue.
The Campfire girls, 12 in number, are
from the Chahcohyas Campfire of Rich
mond school and were on a hike with
their leader, Mrs. A. H. Feldman, 1029
Kast Lincoln street, when they came
. upon the body lying under a cedar tree
behind a tennis court on the ' ranch.
Mrs. Feldman notified the police im
mediately. LAUNDRY MARKS FOUND
Besides the women's black gloves, two
, cheap handkerchiefs, one with the laun
laundry mark "11 1," the other "303" ; one
Bilk handkerchief and a package of chew

; pockets.
The only jewelry found was a gold
nugget stick pin of irregular shape and
a pair of oval shaped cuff links of
mother of pearl. -
- In the shoes we,re 'found a series of
Greek characters, and according to the
deputy sheriffs, every indication is that

NOTHING UNUSUAL NOTICED '
Mrs. Hoffman, who resides at her
apartment house, 705 Davis street, has
been absent from the city for a week.
Iter daughter, Mrs. Ferd K. Smith, visited
the summer cottages near which tlie
body was found Tuesday afternoon, but
did not notice anything unusuaL Her
husband visited the place Saturday aft
ernoon and went to the pump house to
operate the electric pump. Although he
was within a few feet of where the
body was found Tuesday, he did not
notice it. This leads to the belief that
the crime was committed late Saturday
evening or Sunday.
Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Tweedle are the
nearest residents to the Hoffman place.
They told deputy sheriffs this morning
that they bad heard no commotion nor
the sound of an automobile passing on

House Committee
To Consider Charge
On Landis Tuesday
Washington, Feb. 23. (I. X. S.) The
house judiciary commitee will meet next
Tuesday to consider the evidence pre

against Judge VL M. Landis of Chicago,
it was announced today.
The committee will be restricted in
its findings to the judge's connection
with professional baseball in his ca
pacity of arbitrator at his saiary of

Chairman Volstead issued the call for
the meeting of the commitee today, after
an informal conference with several
members of the commitee, who Insisted
that the gravity of an impeachment
charge, no matter what the nature of
the' evidence, demanded prompt action
by the committee, either in dlsmisal
of the matter or ordering a thorough in

Have Ample Funds,
Says 0. W. Mielke
The indefinite postponement In the leg

county for the support of the Rose Fes
tival, Tuesday, will In no way affect the
1921 show, O. W. Mielke, president of the
festival board, stated this morning.
"No assistance was expected from the
bill for the 1921 show," he said, "nor will
it be necessary. The Rose Festival is of
so great a value to Portland from the
standpoint of advertising that the busi
ness men would rather foot the compara
tively small cost than to see it discon
tinued. The funds for this year's festi

PLANS FOR EARLY -:
GERMAN PEACE
ARE GfVEN OUT
By Ttaymond Clapper
St. Augustine. Fla., Feb. 23. (U.
P.) The program for bringing
about speedy peace between the
United States and Germany has been
virtually decided upon by President
elect Harding.
It follows: t
1 Passage by the senate and house
of the Knox resolution or a similar
measure, declaring peace.
2 Informal exchanges between the
United States and the allies and the
United States and Germany and ad
justment of financial matters and other
questions relating to peace.
S rDispatch of an American minister
to Berlin and acceptance of a German
minister to Washington with reestab
lishment of the consular service in both
countries.
The negotiations will be conducted by
Secretary of State Hughes. - United
Press dispatches from London today
said that Europe was virtually marking
time waiting for the Harding adminis
tration to go Into power before going
ahead with settlement of the reparations
and other questions. Any advance an
nouncement of what the Harding ad
ministration intends to do for the guid
ance of the allies would be improper at
this time so it Is expected here virtu
ally nothing will be done toward wind
ing up the war's affairs abroad until
after Harding enters the White House.
DENBY SURPRISED; SERVICE
SEJEX AS ENMSTED MAN
(By Universal 8rrtc) . '
Detroit, Mich., Feb. 23. The news that
he had been selected as secretary of the
navy came, as a great surprise to Kdwin
Den by.
"It is like a bolt from the blue," he
said, when informed of the word which
had been flashed from St. Augustine.
Denby refused to say whether he
would accept the post until he had been
formally notified by Harding. It is un
derstood amopg his friends, however,
that he will do so.
Denby is at present chief probation
officer of the municipal court here. He
understands naval affairs from a prac
tical standpoint, having served as an en
listed man in both the navy and the
marine corps.
WAS IN TIIICK OF IT
He was a member of the crew of the
U. S. S. Yosemite, which was manned by
members of the naval reserve during the
Spanish war. His rating at that time
was that of gunner's mate, third class.
The Yosemite took, part in several im
portant actions during the war.
At the outbreak of the world war in
1917, Denby gave up his law practice
and enlisted as a -private in the marine
corps. His rise was rapid, until he fi
nally was recommended as a major,
serving as morale officer of the Paris
island marine corps training station.
Denby served three terms as represen
tative from the First Michigan congres
sional district, from 1905 to 191L
It was at a private dinner in the
Board of Commerce shortly after the
United States entered the world war
that Edwin Denby first talked at any
length of his realove to become a private
of the United States marine corps..
BIDNT WANT COMMISSION
"In my day, during the Spanish-American
war," Denby said, "the young fel
lows of Detroit weren't thinking of com
missions. They realized somebody had
to be in the ranks and figured they were
Just about qualified for that. The best
young fellows in Detroit, rich and poor,
but all dead1 willing to fight, enlisted on
the Yosemite, and we haa some fight
ing, too.
"Nowadays It Is different. All the
young fellows are pulling wires to be
sent to training camps, or get com
missions some other way. No. I'm go
ing to enlist as a private, and I'm going
to pull wires to accomplish that. I sup
pose the war department will want to
give me a commission to hold some so
called executlye job In Washington, but
I don't want that. I'll pull wires to
keep out of it.
"I want to see if my example, at 47
years of age. In enlisting as a fighting
private in the ranks Won't stir up" some
of these young fellows to emulate me."
it took time and a deal of influence to
get Denby into . the marine corps as a
private. He was too old,' the officials
said, and then they said he was too fat.
What efforts Denby went through to
reduce probably nobody ever will know,
but he got his way. He did get accepted
as a private, and when he marched down
Woodward avenue with the other rook
ies, he looked immensely pleased.
If ever self-satisfaction for having

accomplished a difficult job glowed In
a man's face, it did in Denby'a. . ...
BECOMES MAJOR
From the traming camp came word of
Private Denby, then or Coropral Denby,
Sergeant Denby, Lieutenant Denby and
Captain Denby, and finally from France,
of Major Denby. At 47 be had taken
his chances and won his spurs all over
again.. ,:
That is the type of man Denby Is. He
has shown himself willing to sacrifice
self for the ideal.
Denby is 51 years old. In 1911 he was
married to Marian Bartlett Tmirber of
Detroit. They have two children, Kdwin
Jr.. 8 years old, and Marion, 5.
LEAGUE HALTS REGARDING
U. S. PENDING INAUGURATION
By- Hcry Wood
Paris, Feb. 23. (U. P.) The League
of Nations council today stopped work
on matters affecting the United States,
pending inauguration of the new presi
dent -
Receiving the American protest
against the ' awarding of the Mesopo-:
taraian mandate to Great jBrltain," the
council decided to await a decision by
the allied supreme council. The allied
council at London already had indicated
that it would take no action on Amer
ican affairs until Harding becomes
president. ;
' Secretary of. State Colby's protest
against the Yap and Mesopotamian
mandates were printed in different lan
guages and left with the delegates to
day. Consisting of eight printed pages
and inclading copies of correspondence
with Great Britain, It was too long a
document to be read by the secretaries.
Members of the council indicated they
can do nothing regarding .Yap, the man
date having been approved last Decem
ber without a protect from the United
States. The only possibility of chang
ing it would be a discovery that, the
island ia not "one of the former German
islands north of the equator."
If the description were faulty, the
United States might yet' be accommo
dated, they said.
Meanwhile the council has decided on
a commission which will supervise all
mandates. ,

COOPERATION T7BGED
"We hope to get the medical men to

when the net cost to the patient will
be as low as is consistent with good

Dr. Musgrave says the new league Is
trying to bridge the gap between the

Determined opposition to the erection

the council today by 25 home owners,
or their representatives, led by W. G.
Smith, J. E. Dunn, Lew Wagner, Frank

opponents say the theatre would be a
community nuisance, would -interfere
with the proposed beautifying of Sandy

verting the triangular plot into a building
site, rather than a park.
The Highway Amusement company re
cently applied to the city for permission
to erect a modern motion picture house
on the triangle and the protests of the
property owners resulted from the ap
