Ex-Jail Mate Testihes Against
Vollero in Murder Trial

Alessandro Vollero, on trial for first
degree murder in the Supreme Court of
Brooklyn, was faced yesterday by his
friend and onetine jailmate, Gasparino
Vincinanza, who, to the astonishment
of the accused, appeared as a witness
for the state instead of helping him out
of his difficulties.
Vollero is accused in connection with
the murder Of Nicholas MorelIo and
Charles Ubriaco. A number of men are
anxious to testify that they had paid
protection money for immunity from
the Navy Street Gang.
Vincinanza said that Vollero was
planning to "fx" those outside who
knew things about him, and was also
outlining the murder of Morello, whom
he intended to shoot through the Win
dow. The desire to kill Morello, the
witness said, was the result of feud
in which the Morellos had killed fell

Godsol Had Circuit
OF German Theatres
He and, American Producer
Were Partners Before
the War

Further light was thrown on the re-
markable career of Frank Godsol yes
terday, when Alfred L. Becker, Deputy
Attorney General, made public the fact
that he was associated with a. H.
Woods in large theatrical operations in
Germany prior to the war.
According to MIR. Becker, Godsol, or
Goldsoll, as nc was known in France
IN 1913. bought tho controlling interest
IN seven large theatres in Germany
from his partners, Mr.. Woods and the
Tines Film Company, of Rome, and
continued their operation until the out
break of the war. Five of these thea
tres were in Berlin, one in Hamburg
and the other in Laubach. Not much
money was realized from this venture
because the Germans refused to attend
any but the late performances.
Mr.. Becker spent most Of his time
davits and briefs to be presented on
Monday, when the motion to continue
the injunction granted by Justice Nc
AVoy restraining him from further OK
animation of the private papers of God
sol will be argued. He expressed conf
dence yesterday that he would be able
to show cause on that day why the in
junction should not be made pcrma-
nent.
The prosecutor expects to have an
opportunity to-day to examine Ben
Blumenthal who was associated with
Godsol in the Alliance Motors Com
pany He said that if Blumenthal
returns from Washington he should
be able to reveal some interest
ing facts regarding the opera
tions oil Godsol. According to the
Attorney Generals Office, he is the
man who brought some Of the pro
German films to this country before
the United States entered the war.

Pact Also Provides Credit
for France and Mate
rials for Allies
Is Signed at Madrid
Agrees to Guarantee
Monthly Export of Cot

WASHINGTON, March S.-Under the,
commercial agreement between the
United States and Spain. the formal
signing Of which in Madrid was an
nounced to-day at the State Depart
ment, not only will General Pershing
get supplies from SPAIN which he de-
sires for his troops, but a French
credit in Spain is arranged, and the
Spanish government permits free ex-
port to the Allies Of pyrtes, minerals
and manufactured wool.
These and other details of the agree
ment, which becomes effective imme-
diately, were made public tonight by
the War Trade Board. Besides the
free export of pyrtes, minerals and
wool, which the board described as "a
concession of decided value to the En-
tente powers" Spain also will permit
the export of various other commodi-
ties to the extent that home REQUIRE
ments will permit. This is in addition
to the specific licensing of the supplies
required t.v General Pershing, which
are understood to include 100000 blan-
kets and large number Of mules.
Assistance for France
While conducting the negotiations
for this country, the American repre-
sentatives, the boards statement said,
were able "to materially assist tnn
French government in securing a large
credit IN Spain to finance payments 4Oi.
the supplies which the re public draws
from Spanish sources"
In return for supplies granted this
country and the Allies, the statement
continued, "the United States assures
to Spain its necessary supplies Of cot
ton and petroleum, the amount of the
monthly export of these commodities
Being fixed in the agreement at figure
requirements, but bar the possibility of
German agents in Spain secretly buy
ing up and boarding stock of cotton

said the board, "to the extent that they
can be spared after satisfying home re,
Quirements in the United States and
providing for the needs of the United
States's associates in the war AS has
already been stated. special concessions
have been made in regard to locomo-
tives and railway material, which are
required to increase the carrying ca
pacity of the Spanish railway system a
measure Of decided Importance to
America and its associates which are
drawing supplies from Spanish terri
tory"
Shipping Not Mentioned
Whether the agreement covers the
broad question of Spanish shipping was
not disclosed. Before issuing licenses
for fuel coal for Spanish ships the
board has been requiring an agreement
by the owners or charter parties to re-
turn the vessels to the United States
for cargoes. This was donc recently in
the cases of three ships at a Gulf bort
which were loaded with supplies for the
Allies. The Spanish Consul refused to
let the ships sail, because he wanted
them to go to Spain after discharging;
but his orders were withdrawn to-day,
after announcement Of the signing Of
he agreement with Spain.

THE raid appears to have been car
rled out by seven or eight enemy air
planes, of which two reached London.
The first two raiders approached the
Isle of Thanet at about 1885 p. NJ. and
proceeded up the Thames estuary
Both were turned back before reaching
London.
"Meanwhile the third raider came
across the Essex coast at l1:20 p. m
and steered west. At 11:45 p. m. it
was reported over East London. A few
minutes later it dropped bombs on the

raider. which had also come in across
Essex, dropped bombs to the north OF
London and then proceeded south
across the capital. dropping it's remain

Rates on Loans to
Allies Increased
Credits, Russia Included, Now
Amount to $4.734, 100000

amount 10 pr, ~, 4UU, UUU
WASHINGTON, March 8.-The in
terest rate on loans to Allies has been
raised from A Il to per cent, as re-
suit of the recent increase in rates on
certificates of indebtedness from a Co
@ per cent
Since it now costs the United States
government more to borrow money
from the American people, Secretary
McAdoo felt it necessary to charge
more for the Allied loanss although
these transactions mean practically no
profit to the United States. The differ
encc of onc-half per cent between the
borrowing rate and the lending rate IS
to cover the expense to this govern
mont Of raising the funds and to ac-
count for the tax losses involved in
the issuance of certificates which are
free from. certain kinds of tax levics.
Interest rates on Allied loans have
risen gradually from 3 per cent on the
1lrst credits last April, when the gov
ernmont was borrowing at that rate
on certificates. Later the rate was
increased to 81 per cent and then to
z per cent, to accord with the rate
on the first Liberty Loan. Funds OBJ
tanned from tho second Liberty Loan
at 4 per cent were lent to the Allies
at II.
Credits to the Allies now amount to
S4,73l, 100000, and 1885, 100000 has
actually been paid. OF the $34S 900, 900
unpaid balance $l37,O00,O00 is still
credited to the Russian government
although no demands are being pre-
sented for payment.

necessity of moving the % 900 men en-

times between and o'clock in the
morning on account Of Inadequate

isfactorily adjusted, according to a
message to the Shipping Board from
