TILSON HOLDS UP BILL TO HASTEN OIL MEN'S TRIAL (Continued from Page 1) to escape an immediate trial by means of the archaic appeal system in vogue in the District of Columbia. Won't Discuss Case. Hogan refuses to discuss the case or this legislation with newspapermen.

Senator Walsh, author of this legislation, believes that there is no question at to its constitutionality or Its power to speed up the trials on the oil indictments. He explains that the law deals with court procedure and not with the substantive rights of the defendants. The Supreme Court, he says, has held that such "adjective" law can be retroactive. No Right of Appeal, Say Walsh. Likewise Senator Walsh contends that counsel for the defendants will have no right to appeal on this law itself.

As he sees it, the law would compel the Court of Appeals to enter an order dismissing the defense demurrer carried, up from the Supreme Court. Supreme Court overruled this demurrer to the oil indictmenta, but allowed the defense, in an interlocutory decree, to carry this ruling to the Court of Appeals. This law, Senator Walsh explains, would throw out the appeal on the destand murrer and at force the the defendanta to trial once in Supreme Court. Hogan Confident of Long Delay, According to Walsh, the defense could not carry to the Supreme Court of the United States the question of this procedural law, except in connection with conviction by the lower courta, Hogan seems to lieve that he can, and has privately predicted that the passage of this act would afford his client at least three years more pending appeals. $2,594,438 SUIT IS STARTED BY U.

Ring Stuck in Baby's Throat Fished Out With Wire Hook Removal of a copper ring with a bronchoscope last -week from the throat of Joseph. Kesselman, 13- month-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Leo Kesselman, 1164 E.

8th intercepted the possible death of the child from choking at the United Israel Zion Hospital. About a month ago Joseph was playing with a toy and in some manner he detached the ring and put it in his mouth. The parents were aware of the incident at the time but took no alarm. Last week the child developed difficulty in swallowing, and after an examination the family physician ordered him to the hospital. An X-ray picture was taken which ed showed the ring lodged behind the windpipe.

The baby remained there for observation and two days later a second picture showed no signs of the troublemaker. Despite the evident departure, Joseph continued to swallow with increasing hardship and a third picture again exposed the ring. By this time the child could hardly make a sound. With bronchoscope, an instrument consisting at known of a as long the metal tube about half an inch in diameter and a small hook attached to a tempered wire, the ring was removed without any incision. The tube, fitted with a small electic light bulb, was inserted in the child's throat.

It was then a simpie matter to reach down with the hooked wire and extract the ring. "The process is similar said one of the doctors, "only in this instance you wait for the fish." Recovery WAS speedy and the child returned home the next day.

CAILLAUX EXPECTED TO OUST ROBINEAU AS BANK GOVERNOR Moreau, Algerian Director, Slated to Direct Operations of Bank of France. Paris, June 26--The appointment of M. Moreau, director of the Bank Algeria, as governor of the Bank of France to succeed M. Robineau is expected officially this afternoon after Finance Minister Caillaux has met the regents of the Bank of France. Premier Briand, upon leaving the Cabinet meeting, said the rumor of Robineau's resignation was without foundation.

This declaration, however, was not regarded as settling the question, because if M. Robineau leaves it will not be because he has resigned but because M. Caillaux has appointed a successor. May Consult Cabinet. M.

Briand said that, while it was a question for the Finance Minister to decide, it was too important to act upon without calm reflection and serious consideration. This is taken to mean that the whole Cabinet will be consulted before a new governor is chosen. If M. Robineau leaves the helm of France's principal financial institution it will be the outcome of a long series of conflicts between bank and the leading parties of the Radical-Socialist coalition. Robineau Anti-Inflationist.

M. Robineau and his entire staff stoutly resisted all tendency toward inflation, objected to the issue of money exceeding the limit aupaper thorized by Parliament, during the Herriot administration, and recently, declined to allow any part of the bank's gold reserves to be thrown on the market to bolster up the franc. The bank has always maintained there was too much politics in the effort to renovate the French finances, and all the governments that have succeeded one another since 1924 have considered retiring M. Robineau. His successor was even chosen when M.

Painleve formed his second Cabinet, the place being promised to Senator Chaumet. M. Robineau's friends say he would be glad enough to be relieved of his duties and devote his time to his collection of books, but he does not feel he wants to resign while the situation is so difficult.

June 26-The Brewster double-killing case came to end yesterday the quiet burial of the young withes and hasband in Woodlawn Cemetery, but there remains to be told some interesting facts about the official investigation, showing how such matters are handled in Nassau County. It will be recalled that when the affair first was discovered the a.uthorities were unable to determine whether the husband, Sydney Erskine Brewster, killed his wife and then himself, whether she did the shooting, or whether both had been murdered by a third person. This mystery was dissolved with the appearance of the "Rad" letter, showing that Mr.

Brewster had discovered that his pretty young wife had been in correspondence with an infatuated admirer and, goaded by jealousy, had taken her life and then his own. Might Be Hunting Slayer. Had not this letter been produced the State might now be spending much money tracking a shadowmurderer. The interesting fact is that this letter, important as it was, came into the hands of the authorities the evening the killing took place but that it was not examined by them until two days later. Consequently, if the letter had indicated a murder by a third person, the authorities would have been two days late in starting to find him.

Justice Huntington said he felt instinctively that the letter was as important as it afterward turned out to be but that the detective declined to look at it, saying: "You take care of It--we don't care about Justice Huntington added to his explanation: Was Pieced Together.
