trial would be in violation of the rule
that witnesses were not to talk to any
one except counsel in regard to the

giving Of testimony by Hamilton was
and against public policy. It was
witness before the grand jury and then
bring him into court and ask only

desires OF the prosecution.

Judge w. H. Eichhorn, who is pre-
siulhs' however, permitted tne e1aml-
nation.
Hamilton testified that the money he
gave Mayor Bell was collected from
members of the Employers Association
and was to be used in the interests Of
Theodore Portteus. democrat, then
sheriff. who sought the Office a second
time.

the treasurer of the democratic county
committee and asked the witness If he
saw his contribution listed, but the de-
fense's objection to the question was
sustained.
Hamilton, on ross-examination, said
his intention was that the money
should be used lawfully. and denied
that the money was to be used for buy
ing votes.

JOINT FINANCIAL ACTION

LONDON, October 1T Is oficially
announced that the conferences be-
tween Reginald McKenna. the British
chancellor Of the exchequer. and Pierre
l. Bark, the Russian minister of
finance. have resulted in an arrange
ment for "a joint course Of action be-

NJ Bark on September 81 concluded
q conference in Paris with Alexandra
Ribot, the French minister Of finance.
and departed for London to discuss
financial matters affecting the allies
with Mr.. McKenna. He said that Rus
STA was going through a difficult period
as regarded exchange. She was unable
to export her products. Russia had
large payments to make abroad. but
she could not make them in goods or
products.
M. Bark said that this difficulty had
been examined into in February by the
allied finance ministers and that Great
Britain and France had come to Rus
sfa's assistance with advances, which
had been employed to pay Russia's debt
coupons and to purchase supplies. He
added that this policy Of cooperation
evidently must be continued and that
certain precautions must be taken to
raise the rate Of exchange for the ruble
and give it stability. An Improvement
in the exchange. he said, would facili-
tate importations into Russia. which
were obstructed by the depreciation
of the ruble.
