Birth Control Plan
NEW YOrtK, March 20 (UP) Birth control wa approved,
broadly though conditionally, on grounds of health, economics and

port, to be the first such de
claration made by an inter-de
nominational body. A minority
recommended abstinence aa an
"Ideal" among married people
who felt unable to have children.
But all signed the report, and
they made an imposing list of
churchmen and social workers.
Baptists, Methodists. Presby

OF GERMANY
DIES FRIDAY
BERLIN, March 20 (UP)
Herman Mueller, former chan
cellor and among the leading
statesmen developed In post-war
republican Germany, died tonight
after a, heroic - fight foe lite
against a lingering Illness which
In recent years had sapped his
strength,
Mueller's condition had be
come steadily . worse after an
operation tor bladder tronble
last Saturday. Pneumonia de
veloped and complications set in.
He was 55. -
INFLUENTIAL LEADER
The operation -waa effected by
his surgeons last Saturday, after
days of uncertainty. They feared
his weakened condition would
not permit -the strain, although
the operation was deemed essen
tial If lite were to be maintained.
Mueller was the most Influen
tial moderate . leader in the
Socialist party, and it was be
lieved tonight that his death
probably soou will be felt In the
party's policy. Tho moderates
at present are in a difficult posi
tion In defense ot their present
opportunist policy against the
radicals.
The radicals are urging stricter
observance of the Socialist plat
form. SIGNED TREATY
Mueller was one of the two
German statesmen to sign the
treaty of Versailles ending the
World War a moment, he later
said, among "the auddest ot my
life. lie was foreign minister
in the cabinet formed by Gus
tavo Bauer, in 1919.
Mueller attained a leading
position in his party In compara
tive youth, being delegated In
June 1914, just prior to the
outbreak. of 'the war, to discuss
with French socialists In Paris
their attitude in case ot war.
The missioa) failed and war broke j
out in August, before an uuder- j
standing was reacnea.
AIDED REORGANIZATION
After the war, he took an ac
tive part In reorganizing the
country's political complexion.
He became foreign minister tn
the Baner regime. The cabinet
fell in March. 1920, and Mueller
became chancellor until the fol
lowing June, when the Catholic
central party formed a coalition
cabinet, following elections.
Mueller resumed active leader
ship ot his party and In Juno,
192$, was called to form tne
big coalition" ministry as cnan-
cellor. The coalition govern
ment fell In March of last year
and he was succeeded by Chan
cellor Helrarich Bruening.

Trial Friday
HILLSBORO. Ore., Mar.
20. (UP) Circuit Judge
George R. Bagley late to
day again overruled mo
tions made by the defense
for a directed verdict of
acquittal in the trial here
of Irma G. Loucks and Nel
son C. Bowles, charged
with the first degree mur
der of Bowles' wife, Mrs.
Leone C. Bowles.
Arguments on the motions oc
cupied the entire day in court.
and at the conclusion. Judge Hag-
ley declared that my present
conviction Is that this case
should go to the jury."
ONLY TEMPORARY
Judge Bagley indicated, how
ever, that the motions were over
ruled only temporarily, and that
he would reserve the right to
change his mind later, after bear
Ing evidence presented by the de
fense. A similar ruling was mad
by Judge Bagley yesterday, when
he postponed arguments on tha
motions in order to give Dr.
Frank R. Henna a chance' to
testify. i i
The defense, la arguing for
the directed verdict oa behalf ot
Its clients, declared that tha
state had presented no evidence
that a crime had been committed.
The state countered this declara
tion, however, with the statement
that the jury had been chosen
to decide that question, and
sbonld be given a chance to
exercise its powers, - -
DEFENSE ARGUES . .1
In presenting arguments to
show that the characters of the
two defendants. In addition- to
"common sense." would not havo
allowed them to kill Mrs.
Bowles, Wallace McCamant. de
fense attorney, said that "no cir
cumstances, no condition, would
cansa Nelson C. Bowles to kill
anyone. As for Miss Loucks, she
wouldn't kill a chicken."
"The one place in tho world
where the death of Leone Bowles
was certain to direct suspicion
toward these two defendants was
In the apartment of Miss Loucks"
McCamant continued. "They had
no opportunity to commit such a
crime and get away with It, in
the language ot the street."
McCamant further stated that
the state, far from proving Miss
Loucks and Bowles guilty of mur
dering Mrs. Bowles, had present
ed testimony which aCfirmately
proved their Innocence.
CIRCUMSTANCES SEEJf
The blood found on Mrs.
Bowles' rich hand, the nature of
the wound, the calling of Dr.
Paul B. Cooper, and the testi
mony of the two defendants -all
indicated that Mrs. Bowles bad
taken her own lite, the defense
attorney declared.
Deputy District Attorney Geo.
Mowry. in presenting reasons
why the case should be given to
the Jury to decide, said that cir
cumstantial evidence is divided
Into three parts motive, oppor
tunity and Incriminating circum
stances. He declared that the
state had presented evidences ot
all three.
In discussing the motive theory
Mowry discussed the troubles
between Mr. and Mrs. Bowles,
which were caused by the fact
that Bowles assertedly wished to
marry Miss Loucks but could not
do so unless "his wife got a di
vorce or died."
