Professor II. L. McBain, Of Colum-

Cities" which was discussed by Or.
Delos F. Wilcox, Robert ). Binkerd,
Lawrence A. Tanner and Walter l..
Arndt.
Professor McBain said the attempts
Of the Legislature 10 provide govern
ment for cities had proved lamentable
failures. The right to frame its own
charter ought TO be conferred on the
city by the constitution. Mr.. McBain

Dr. Wilcox said the constitution

A Jury in the City Court yesterday
decided that Miss Alice Martin, of st.
Louis. originator of the hesitation

Akin returned TO St. Louis. leaving her
companion to wrestle with the lease.
Then Miss Martin also moved, and, ac-
cordirg to the landlord, who rented the
house furnished to the two young wom-
en-. he found some Of the furniture
damaged and some of the volumes
missing from the library, so he sued
Miss Martin for the money still due

FRANCE TO EXHIBIT
AT PANAMA FAIR
Goods for San Francisco
Exposition to Have Safe
Passage in War Zone.
II. S. COLLIER WILL
BE TREASURE SHIP
Big Show to Open on Time, Feb
ruary 20-Many Nations
Will Be Represented.

The French government is the latest
TO decide definitely that it will partici-
pate in the Panama Pacific Exposition
al San Francisco. Thomas NJ. Moore,
the commissioner general IN charge OF
the cxpostion's affairs IN the East, re-
ceived cable message yesterday stat
ing that the French government, now
at Bordeaux. would have full EXHIBIT
at san Francisco, including reproduc.
tion Of the Palace of the Legion OF
Honor.
Mr. Moore. who has been in Wash
inCton, working cnergctlcally, for the
last four OF five days, received word
from Secretary of state Bryan that the
State Department had arranged that
exhibits Tor the exposition would be
conveyed through any and all European
countries without mOlestation. The
American ambassadors. cOnsuls and
other diplomatic representatives abroad
will exercise personal supervision over
the shipments and see that their pas
sage is expedited.
Much satisfaction is felt over the an
nouncement from France, following so
closely as IL does on the announcement
made by Portugal a few days ago that
she would participate. Three of the
leading members of the French COM
mission for the exposition went TO the
war, but the other members arranged
the details in their absence.
Mr.. Bryan also announced to Mr.
Moore the route Of the collier Jason.
which will bring 10 this country those
exhibits which have not already left
the other side. Commander Courtenay
Of the Jason has received cable orders
to be at Salonica on December Is to
receive exhibits from Southern Russia,
Turkey, the Balkan States and part
Of Greece. She will then go to Genoa
to load exhibits from Germany, Austria
Hungary and Italy, and from there to
Marseilles to take on exhibits from
France and Switzerland.
The next port will be Lisbon. where
Spain and Portugal Will load their con-
tributions for the great fair. At
Portsmouth exhibits from the British
Isles, Norway. Denmark, Sweden, Bel
GUM and Holland will be put into the
Jason's hold. Also, at this port. ex-
hibits from Northern Russia, which
will have been sent from Archangel,
will be loaded.
When the Jason Is filled with the
ancient and modern glories of the Old
World she Will start back across the
western ocean, perhaps the most Valu-
able treasure ship that ever steamed
across that great sea, for the worth of
her cargo cannot be measured in dol
lars or in pounds. In her hold will be
some of the most valuable of Europe's
wonderful collections Of art and in
dustry.
Since the recent publication of a dis
patch that the opening of the Panama
exposition would be postponed until
June, the authorities in charge of the
great exposition at San Francisco have
been troubled by letters asking whether
the great show would be opened on
February 20, as anticipated. 1t will be
opened on time, of course, for the dis
patch related only to a much smaller
exposition at Panama, and not in Cali
fornia al all.

Waldo flushed as much as Johnson had.
NO." he said in his staccato voice.
"the acting Mayor. at the instigation
of his successor, alleged that he re
moved me. but the court has ruled
had right TO resign"
Then the proceedings returned to the
taking of real testimony. The greater
part Of the day was occupied by Oscar
A. Prall, Siegel's confidential man, who
began to testify yesterday.
The morning was taken up by de-
tails of the transactions he told about
yesterday. Checks 10 cover losses, that
were later hidden away, were told OF.
The cross-examination of the witness
by Mr.. Stanchfeld was almost Ches-
teriieldian for its politeness.
Prall said he never saw Siegel max
ing an inspection Of the books. He
said he never saw anything ethically
wrong in the interchange by checks
of money between the stores.
when the check for 1854 % was
drawn did you intend to be party TO
stealing that" he was asked.
NO" Prall'replied, Il didn't know II
was drawn"
Then Mr.. Siegel didn't either, did
he" questioned Mr.. Stanchield.
NO" the witness replied.
Getting Aid for Defence.
Mr.. Stanchield pursued the good
start he had made, and when he got a
negative answer to one or two further
interrogatories along this line he
stopped, palpably eminently satisfied.
So Mr.. Train again took the witness
in hand, asking him: did you sign
false statements"
IL did" Prall said.
did the defendant Siegel sign
them?"
YES"
what do YOU mean, then, when you
say YOU were not a conspiratOr?"
IL mean that | did not consciously
and knowingly steal money for my
self" Prall replied.
But you realize you were playing a
part in a result
VI certainly do" said Prall, in a
scarcely audible voice.
The first witness Of the day was
James 5. Alexander, president Of the
National Bank of Commerce. His tes-
timony went back TO the first phase Of
the trial, having to do with the nego-
tiation of the loans with his bank. He
said the inventories on which the
financial statements were based, Siegel
told him, were for goods taken at cost.
In regard to the question as to
whether the note discounted on April
80, 1913, was a renewal of the note
which matured and was certified that
same day, Mr.. Alexander said: my
definite and positive instructions are
that there shall never be such a thing
as renewal. Each loan is a new loan,
and | want it so definitely understood
in my institution" The defence has
pinned great hopes Of being able TO
prove the new loan a renewal, and that
therefore their line of credit was
never broken.
