Smile Is Lacking.
1 His smile was lacking. Indeed,
since charge were filed in court,

in the death of Miss Rappe as an
outcome of a party held in his rooms
at the Hotel St. Francis here, there
is only one time on record that the

Larscn Denies
Charge He Was
A "Poor Loser"
Suit for Aviation Trophy Be
fore Judge Wakeley Is Re
plcte With Humorous
Situations.
John M. Larscn, donor of the
trophy for the aviation contest
bearing his name and owner of the
two JL-6 monoplanes, which he
contends won the event over the
S. V. A. biplane which was awarded
the victory bv the Aero congress
contest committee, denied emphat
ically in district court yesterday
afternoon that he is a "poor loser."
Larsen was called to the witness
stand in Judge A. C. Wakeley s
court to nrove his claims that E. F,
White, pilot of the plane which was
declared winner, used fraud in the
contest by carrying more fuel than
was charged against him. I ne
technical committees report after
the race on November 5, showed
that the S. V. A. used 23.88 gallons
of gasoline.
Alleges "Plain Steal."
"That is 'so preposterous that no
man with any mechanical knowledge
would claim it, Larsen declared
"It's a plain steal."
He said the Italian plane could
not possibly . have gone the 240-mile
distance on less than JU gallons ot
fuel and offered figures based on his
opinion of the motor's possibilities
to prove his contention.
Larsen, on cross-examination by
Paul L. Martin, counsel for White,
said he does not know what the
Larsen trophy's value will be or
what it will cost to produce. It has
not been completed, he said. He
characterized the $3,000 cash, award
for first place as "cigaret money,"
in comparison to the value of the
trophy and the honor of winning it.
Lddie Stinsoiv one of the Larsen
pilots, who has flown an . . V. A.
plane, testified ' he believed t White
could not have covered the race dis
tance on the amount of fuel which
the technical report shows him to
have used.
No Direct Evidence of Fraud
Throughout the day, however,
there was no direct evidence of
fraud introduced. White testified he
had drained the tanks of the plane,
including the one Larsen allcgoswas
filled fraudulently, and that all gaso
line he carried was charged to him,
in addition to a gallon or more he
spilled after it had been weighed
and he was trying to put it into the
tank.
Larsen kept the courtroom in a
constant uproar by his verbal tilts
with the opposing counsel, launch
ing into dissertations on aviation af
fairs often, instead of answering the
questions propounded. He was
warned by the court to refrain from
the impromptu speeches, but the
warnings had little effect. .
The case will be continued this
morning and is expected to occupy
the greater part of today.
Enforcement of Bread
Law Further Delayed
Lincoln, Nov. 14. (Special.)
Further delay in enforcement of the
Smith bread law, held constitutional
last week by District Judge Morn

day when they filed a $1,000 superse

district court, which means enforce
ment of the law is held up pending
appeal to the supreme court. Notice

court.
Ordinarily it takes from four to six
months for the mills of the supreme
court to grind out a decision. This
means that at least a year and a half
will elapse before final action can be
taken on a law passed by the legisla
ture last winter.

plates an alteration of the plan in
several important details.
The British acceptance will be
presented at tomorrow's preliminary
session of the conference by A. J.

Mr. Balfour may not outline de
tails of Great Britain's reservations,
but they are substantially described
this way:
Want Elastic Program.
Instead of a flat 10-year hol'ay,

fleet as the proposals would allow

while British ships would be obsolete.
Want Limited Disarmament.
Great Britain wants the replace

of years, because, British naval ex
perts argue, the program could be
carried on with a small equipment :

10-year holiday were to be declared,
they say, facilities for making a
wholesale replacement after 10 years
would have to be kept in organiza

ships might be consigned to the junk
pile, facilities for reproducing .thenW
