Tell Paish of Agreement
to Restrict Cotton
Purchases.
BLACKETT MAKES
A HOT DENIAL
Financiers See No Reason for
Sacrificing Staple to Meet
English Debt.
From The Tribune Bureau. !

Washington, Oct. 23.-Declaring that
America was willing and able to pay It's
indebtedness to England In gold, sew
eral American bankers in conference
with Sir George Paish and Treasury
officials here to-day charged that there
has been an agreement In Manchester
and Liverpool to KEEP down the pur-
chases Of cotton. the effect Of which
was to limit the power Of the United
States to pay its international indebt-
edness.
Basil B. Blackett, who, with Sir
George, Is here as tho representative
of the British government, holly re-
torted that there was no truth in the
statement that any such agreement ex-
listed. He asserted that the restriction
was due IT, natural causes. The Man
chester Exchange, he said, was closed
because It's members could not TRADE
In futures, but despite this fact con-
siderable purchases of spot cotton were
being made.
opinion that there had been a some
what undue anxiety in the United
States with respect to the international
situation, and that with the federal re-
serve banks about to open and the
gradual improvement of the export
situation it was not necessary 20 take
any definite step for the control OF
conditions.
The cotton situation in this country
took up much of the time of the con-
ference, and it was apparent from the
discussion that the American bankers
did not propose to sacrifice this staple
In an effort TO clear up our obligations
abroad, when they believed that this
country had ample funds to pay in
gold.
Can Pay All in Gold.
LET us discuss this question IN a
subjective way" one Of them declared.
"Why should we capitalize the misery
Of others, when we can pay what we
owe in gold if we are given the chance.
Let us take lot of this cotton and put
it into warehouses and hold it there
until the price goes back to where 1t
should be-"

Q.-How long have you been in that
frame of mind? Aver since the

For several minutes Mrs. Carman
sought to evade direct answer to
the District Attorneys question as to
she thought that her hus-
band was truthful. Finally she said,
mo" She explained that she had no
real reason to doubt him, however
She was suspicious at first, Of the
women who called frequently at his
office; finally she was suspicious OF
nearly all his women callers.
Some women, Mrs. Carman said, were
more attractive to her husband than
she was, she had thought.

Mr. Smith asked if she thought Mrs.
Variance, the middle-aged nurse whose
face she slapped, were more attractive
than she. Mrs. Carman smiled and an
swered "NO."
A diagram Of the first floor of the
Carman house was set up near the w.t.
ness stand. Mrs. Carman stood up and
with her finger pointed out how she
went out Of the house to spy on her
husband when she saw Mrs. Variance
with him in the office. She said she
did not 60 through the kitchen that

Under the rapid volley of the Dis
trict Attorneys questions Mrs. Car
mans color rose and fell. She became
very nervous; she bit her lips; she
clenched her gloved hands. She APP
peared to be about to faint, but her
bottle of smelling salts revived her.
The District Attorney did not pause IN
his questioning.
She was made TO describe the entire
scene with Mrs. Variance.
A Question of Kisses.
Q.-You didn't object TO another
woman kissing your husband in graft
tude? A.-0h, no.
Odd he kiss her! Al didn't see
him.
Mrs. Carman said she didn't rap on
the window when the kiss was given,
but waited until Mrs. Variance started
to leave the Office.
Q.-You went pretty fast around the
lawn to get to the door before Mrs.
Variance, didn't you? Ayes.
Q.-Now, as to the night OF the
shooting. You came downstairs in a
kimono. What kind of slippers did you

SEEKS TO ENJOIN
STANDARD OIL co.
MarcOni Wireless Co.
Wants De Forest Plant
Barred from Ships.

The Marconi Wireless Telegraph
Company asked Judge hough, in the
Federal District Court yesterday, TO
enioin the Standard Oil Company from
using the wireless recently installed on
its vessels. The new apparatus was
furnished by the recognized De Forest
Radio Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany. The injunction was asked pend
ing the result of a patent infringement
suit brought by the Marconi company
against the De Forest company, the
Standard Oil Company and Lee De
Forest.
Vigorous answers, alleging attempted
extortion on the part of the Marconi
company, were filed by counsel for the
Standard Oil Company, and Judge
Hough adjourned the proceedings with
the remark: "If the allegations are
true the Marconi company is putting
the screws on pretty hard" Counsel
for the plaintiff company said that the
increase in rentals was necessary to
meet expenses.
The defendants alleged that since
Judge Veeder, in Brooklyn, upheld the
Lodge patent, in suit brought by the
Marconi company against the National
Electric Signal Company, the Marconi
company has been cancelling old con-
tracts and demanding In the new ones
increased rentals and minimum period
of more than two years.
1t is further asserted that the lp-
paratus now in use on the Standard Oil
ships does not in any way infringe the
patents of the Marconi Company, and,
moreover, the Lodge patent expires on
August 10 next, and will then become
public property. The defendants, under
these circumstances, are unwilling to
sign two or three year contract at
an increased rate.

Mrs. Carman-
She thought II had come from the

about a minute to get downstairs, she
said. As she reached the head OF the

the hall, but she made no effort 10
find out who they were. After she
went downstairs she walked into the
waiting room and leaned against a
mantelpiece for moment. She did
not see any one downstairs, and went
directly upstairs again, after having
stood by the mantel for two minutes,
perhaps.
Mr.. Levy, her counsel, came to the
house late in the afternoon on the
day after the murder, TO sympathlze
with the family, she said. She did
not think then that she would require
the services of lawyer.
"But you did tell Mr.. Levy then you
would call him if you needed him,
didn't you?" asked Mr.. Smith.

paper Wednesday mentioning my name
and the telephone instrument"
"Mrs. Carman," shouted the District
Attorney, don't you know the first
time the newspapers mentioned that
instrument was on Thursday-the day
following that it was in big head
lines ?"
She Hid Dictograph.
"No, / don't know that" she replied.
"But / told Dr. Runcie the night of
the murder that / had had the thing
put in"
"If he contradicts that you won't
dispute him, will you?"
Mrs. Carman hesitated, and replied,
"No."
She described in detail how she tore
out the instrument and its wires be-
tween her room and the doctors Office.
She also told how she had hid the
wires, batteries, sound gatherer and
the receiver in the garnet under the
floor.
Mrs. Carman," said the District At
torney, IF your suspicious were dis
PEELED by what you heard over the
instrument why did you buy the thing
on June %, when your lease on it had
two more months to run ?"
To this Mrs. Carman would give no
d rect answer.
Mrs. Carman said she learned the
identity of the victim late Tuesday
night. She said that she felt sorry
for the family of Mrs. Bailey, but that
she had not expressed her sympathy
then, although Or. Carman did so.
Ono one prevented you from
going 10 the Bailey house that day,

Q.-Mr. Levy was at the house the
next day, wasn't he? A.-Yes.
Q.-And that was the day he asked
Celia to sign the paper? A.--Yes.
Q.-You never went into the doctors

"That's ALL" said the District At
torney. 1t was then 1885 o'clock, and
Mrs. Carman had been an hour and
thirty-five minutes on the stand.
Mr.. Levy asked, on redirect examina-
ton. if Mrs. Carman were right
handed or left-handed. She said she
was left-handed. He then asked why
she did not go TO the Bailey home to
extend her sympathy.
Because 1 didn't feel that I was at
liberty to do So" she replied.
