(AP) Her first attempt to drive an auto mobile having proved disastrous late today, three year old Dora- dyne Culver a few minutes later learned she was the youngest dri ver ever to receive first aid treat ment at the emergency hospital. She has promised to confine her driving activities to a coaster wag on in the future. The little girl climbed into the ca of her parents, Mr. and Mrs Mrs. E. G. Culver, which was standing in front of the home here, turned the key in the switch, and the motor started, probably because it was hot and a piston was on dead center, investigators suggested. While the automobile dashed down the hill, the child, unable to do anything to bring it under con trol, closed her eyes and waited .nmsiMnr tn hannen. Some . s A wu. ...o " w r I I iistance down the hill the car Ol:rashed abruptly against tbecurb- ng and the child was thrown jgainst the windshield. Rescuers Tound her wedged under the steer which Toral refused. The court, nevertheless, appointed two law yers to defend him. Toral's only comment on the procedure was that he had no de fense to offer. Tn th Questioning which fol lowed he asserted vehemently that "nobody on earth" knew his Intention prior to the assasslna tion itself. Further questioning liritd the statement that he haa Kaon "inriirectlv influenced" by 'he nun, Concepcion AceDeao uo lata, who is being held by the po lice in connection with the case This statment is. after a tasn ion. contradictory to ms tuuitru tion all along that no one had in fluenced him in the least, and fol lowed a denial by the nun herself that she had done so. Toral. calm and composed without a collar and his scraggly black beard showing more than a week's growth, was brought from the police headquarters to the Sa Angel court at noon under a heavy guard. On the stand his voice was low but tremorless and with pre else enunciation. He made few gestures, but -occasionally clenched and unclenched his fists. He seemed utterly lncunereni as to what was going on aooui him the only evidence of inter est came when he thought he saw chances to shorten the procedure. Thus, for instance when the clerk of the court began to read a long document consisting of a police statement with the formal charge. Toral interrupted to say "it is un necessary to read this document. It is all true and I have already signed every page of it." The charge was then formally entered by the court. It has not yet been decided whether the preliminary hearing will be followed by a formal trial or whether there will be an Inter- PORTLAND. Ore., July 31. (AP). John P. Hartman, Seattle attorney and member of the Cas cade tunnel commission, took the stand today at the interstate com merce commission hearing on grain rates. As a proponent of a great tun nel project in the Cascade moun tains of Washington, he had helped to compile a report which emphasized extreme difficulties in mountain railroad operations. He was called by W. C. McCulloch, Portland attorney, to identify and establish the authenticity of the which was issued in De cember, 1926. After stating that the report was based on railroad documents, government data and reports of ennineers. Mr. Hartman repudiat ed some of the salient points. Difficulties of railroad operation through the mountains, in con nection with the snow hazard, had been overdrawn, he said, and were based on conditions that ex isted several years ago. He stat ed that improved locomotives and snow-fighting equipment have re duced the difficulties. One paragraph of the report said: "The three railroads crossing the Cascade parses are required to compete with railroads having water grades through the Colum bia river pass. The importance of the river grade is evidenced by the estimate that each rise and fall of 1000 feet in elevation is eauiralent to more than 75 miles of level running. The cost of op eration is indicated by the fact that five powerful locomotives are required to haul 100 freight cars westbound to the top of the grade on the Great Northern railroad, while with a low level tunnel with the resultant gradient in the mountain division, one locomotive would do all the work." On this point. Mr. Hartman said modern locomotives are more powerful and can haul 35 or more cars up the grade and he said he would discount 50 per cent the statement that 1000 feet rise and fall is equal to 75 miles level running.
