CARMAN CASE
PROSECUTION
TO COMPLETE
SIDE TODAY

Mineola, N. Y, Oct. 20.-The prosecu-
tons case against Mrs Florence Conk-
lin Carman, on trial in the supreme court
here as the alleged assassin of Mrs.
Louise Bailey, will be completed tomor-
row morning. District Attorney Lewis ].
Smith so announced upon the conclusion
of day spent in drawing from a score
of witnesses chain of circumstantial ev-
idence by which he hopes to link Mrs.
Carman directly with the commission of
the crime.
Many of today's witnesses were called
to establish the alleged motive-jealousy.
One was Mrs. Elizabeth variance
trained nurse, whose face Mrs. Carman
slapped when she saw Dr. Carman give
her money and allow her to kiss him, it
was testified. Another was CASTOR Bots
sannault. former chief of the Canadian
Secret Service and now manager of the
concern that sold to the wife of the ply
stefan mechanical eavesdropper' so
that she might hear what went on in her
husbands office when patients were
there. Then there was the man who in
stalled the instrument.
A new, and what the prosecution SEEM
ed to consider a significant fact, was de-
veloped. Physicians who performed the
autopsy upon the victim of the tragedy
in the doctors office testified she would
have become mother had she lived. The
states two star witnesses will testify to-
morrow. One is Celia Coleman, the Ne
gro maid, and the other is Frank Far
rell, an unemployed engineer. Celia Cole
mans story, as told to the grand jury,
was greatly different from the one she
told at the inquest when her memory
was faulty. The story she is expected to
tell tomorrow is the one she related to
the grand jury. District Attorney Smith
said tonight he was sure that this girls
story would impress the jury.
Farrell's story is to the effect that he
was at the back door of the Carman
house at the time of the shooting He
saw, he is quoted as saying, Mrs. Carman
run into the house from the side yard,
directly after he heard the crash. and tin
kle of breaking glass and the report of
revolver shot.
Mrs. Carman today showed the effect
of the strain she is under. Great black
circles were under her eyes when she APP
peared in court this morning. Later on
in the day she frightened up consider
ably and during the afternoon session
she repeatedly suggested points to her
counsel during the REORGANIZATION of
the states witnesses. According to pres
ent indications the defence will be we'll
into its case by tomorrow night.

RUNS TODAY

Rockland, Me-, Oct 20-A heated
cross head bearing halted the stand
ardization trial of the United States
battleship New York after she had
completed her 23rd run over the meas
ured mile course off this port today.
Alterations were quickly made, and
the big ship was ready to complete
her runs tomorrow morning.
The interruption came just as the
New York had reeled off a Nile at
slightly better than % knots on the
second of her top speed runs. Her av-
erage for her two top speed runs was
21.64, which exceeded by 36 the aver
age made by her sister ship Texas on
her five best runs. The New York s
fastest run, however, was 20 below
the best mile made by the Texas.
The New York's officers expressed
confidence tonight that on the three
remaining high speed runs, the ship
would better her record.
They appeared to be pleased at the
Dreadnaughts general behavior The
lack of vibration, they said, was es-
pecially noticeable. While making her
best speed her propellers were turning
1873 times a minute
AT the conclusion of her Standard
ization trials the New York will put
to sea for further tests which will last
until she returns to the New York
navy yard Saturday.

Washington, Oct. 20.-Counsel for

took the position before the Interstate
Commerce Commission today that no
condition confronts American rail-
roads. as a result of the European
war or any other cause, that does not
equally affect every other American
industry. This contention was the
basis for rigid cross-examination of
witnesses called before the commits
sion by the Eastern railroads to sup
port their petition TO-, relief through
a general increase OF at least s per
cent. in freight rates.

Wants Money Owed

AT the present time he said.
England feels that she wants money
that is owed her. We have coming
from the United States probably more
than $500, 600 The ordinary meth
cd of payment is by gold, but in the
course of business the balance is usual
Iy taken care OF by purchases of
American securities or by payment for
your crops. In view of the present sit
uation in your country, the payment
of this large amount of gold at this
time might prove announcement and
England was glad to respond to pro-
posal that the case be talked about
of meeting the difficulty.
IT feel sure that some way will be
discovered here by your Federal Re.
serve Board and the secretary of the
treasury, and there Is no doubt that
eventually the balance of trade will
again be in your favor. In the months
to come England will be buying Amer
lean wheat and cotton. In the mean
time, arrangements may be made SO
that you will not be embarrassed and
yet England will be assured that her
money will be forthcoming when
wanted"
Sir George said he believed the London
Stock Exchange would reopen in a short
time, and thought 1t probable that the
New York Exchange would be reopened
about the same time His government,
he said, was preparing to prevent the
calling of loans On securities that might
ordinarily accompany the resumption of
stock exchange business, and with such
a guaranty he thought there was little
to stand in the way of a reopening.
Sir George declared that he did not be-
lieve American cotton growers need fear
that English manufacturers will buy
Egyptian cotton in preference to Ameri-
can cotton. THE Egyptian cotton is not
used for the same grade of manufactur-
ed goods" said he. lat present the Eng
lish mills probably have a sufficient sup
ply on hand for a few months. They are
naturally not anxious to buy, however
unless they are sure that cotton has
reached the bottom price. The margin of
profit in cotton is too small to warrant
such risks. If you succeed in taking
care of this surplus crop, I have no doubt
that you will see the English mills in the
market again quickly. I suppose the cot
ton exchanges in New York and New
Orleans will open again shortly if the
plan of the Federal Reserve Board for a
$50, 600, 600 loan fund goes through Then
| think the Liverpool Exchange will fol-
low With cotton selling again there Is
bound to be an improvement in condi-
tions and some of the balance against
you will be wiped out of existence"
Mr.. McAdoo was ordered to bed tonight
by his physician, suffering with slight
attack of nervous indigestion. He prob
ably will not return to his desk for sew
eral days and until then the conference
with the Englishmen to which New York
bankers were asked will not be held.
Although Sir George did not feel at lib
erty to discuss details of the plans under
way for meeting the situation. it became
apparent today that the Federal Reserve
Board probably will attempt to provide
short term interest bearing paper or
notes which will be acceptable to the
English government in place of actual
gold.

A little further to the south the al
lies are making an attempt to ad-
vance toward Lille for the relief OF
that city, which has been in German
hands for some time and are also
pushing on to the north and south of
Arras.
Their attacks of yesterday on the
advances of Lille. where the Ger
mans hold strong positions, were re-
pulsed, according to the German re-
port.
Furious German Attacks
To the southwark at the bend OF
the line, the Germans continue to-
make furious but unavailing attempts
to break the French line. In the east
along the Mouse, the Germans have
according to the French account, es-
sayed in vain to repulse the French,
troops, who debouched along that ter
ritory, in which the Camp des Ro-.
mains, now in the hands of the Ger
mans, is situated, in an attempt to-
cut out that portion of the Germans
army which is thrust toward st. Nil

and a judicious notion of what sue

The board Of trustees OF the Mems
Union at the state university is now
busy making plans to carry on the

the members OF the union decided to
have the organization. run under the
direction Of tho y. NJ. G. A. Professors
Howard e.. Simpson, e. r. Chandler
and Howard Flint have been appoint
ed to act OH the board of trustees.
The work of reorganization has be-
gun In earnest and. Secretary Wells Of
the Y. NJ. c. A. has some very good
plans to be carried out. The union
seemed to be q failure and was not
working with the Y. NJ. C. A.. and for
that reason It was thought better to
combine the two. Excellent results are
expected from this combination. The
Y. M. G. A, will have charge Of the
union for the next two years and If
h plan is not successful some other
one will be tried out.
The Mems Union has always been
maintained by a compulsory fee OF
fifty cents which was paid by each
male student at the beginning Of each
semester. This fee will be abandoned
under the new plan. The rooms will
be kept up in Bulge hall the same as
usual and all men are welcome wheth-
