DEFENSE BEING HEARD
In the Bailey VS. Brattleboro Bank Suit
in County Court.

The defense took up the presentation
of evidence yesterday in the case Of Hi
ram l.. Sparrow, administrator of the
estate of Harriet Bailey VS.. the Vermont
Savings bank which is being tried in
Washington county court L. w. Gibson,
who was attorney for the defendant in
other cases, was on the stand in the
morning. lie told the jury about letters
that were used in an effort to show that
no delay occurred in the handling of the
different matters. On cross s-examination,
Mr. Shurtlen drew out considerable in
formation about the injunction proceed
ings Mr.. Gibson was followed by the
recent Judge Z. /. Waterman, who fur
nished more entertainment for those
about the court than has been shown in
the case to this time, for Mr.. Shurtleff
placed him under q grilling fire of cross
examination when he evaded questions
and the court directed a certain answer
that did not reply to questions struck
from the records. lie was closely ques
toned as to the injunction proceedings,
that tended to show that this action,
which was in the suit of Harriet Bailey
againt the bank, delayed and worried
the family considerably and that it made
it expensive for the Bailey heirs.
Testimony was also given to show
that all efforts of the bank to locate
Harry Lowe, who was connected with
the former cases and who made the de-
posits in the bank, was also given. The
story was told of his disappearance
about 1905. The account was started
with the bank in the early 00s and
completed in 1908, the total deposit
amounting to about $4,000 The story
of the use of Pinkerton detectives was
also told in court.
A. +. Cudworth of Londonderry. a
member of the House of Representatives,
was the first witness this morning He
testified as to the standing of the attor-
neys, y. L. Waterman and +. w. Glib

started in the Massachusetts, supreme
court in an effort to determine which Of
two sets of trustees appointed by the
late Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy, has au-
thority over the Christian Science Pub
fishing society. On petition of the trus-
tees of the society the court has IS
sued temporary injunction restraining

Christ, Scientists. from taking any ac-
tion intended to interfere with the trus-
tees in the discharge of their duties and
from attempting to compel any Of the
trustees to resign.
The trustees Of the society. appointed
by Mrs. Eddy in 1898, are: Herbert W.
Eustace of Boston. David R. Ogden of
Brooklin and Lamont ROwlands of Pi-
cayJme, Miss. The directors of the church

Edward A. Merritt, all Of Brookline, and
William A. Rathvon of Boston Joined
with them as defendants are John V.
Dittermore and Annie NJ Knot, both of

trustee and director with the other de-
PENDANTS
The plaintiffs in the bill of complaint
say that the first four named defend
ants have recently removed Dittemore
and appointed Mrs. Knott as his success
sor and that they do not know which is
now the legal occupant of the position.
They assert that the affairs of the So
ciety have been "highly prosperous and
successful" and that they have paid over
to the defendants in their capacities as
directors and trustees more than $3.50
0O0 as earnings and profits from their
conduct Of the trust for a period OF six
months ending Oct. l, 1918 They point
out that the defendants are director only
of the first church known as the mother
church and have no official control of
the more than 1900 other Christian Sci
ence churches and societies.

the death of Mrs Eddy "have been grad
ually endeavoring to assume and exer-
else powers with regard to the publish
ing society which the directors never as
sumed or attempted to exercise during

Washington, March 27.--The text OF
the proposed amendment to the league of

White House less than a week ago, aft
er Mr.. Taft had been assured by Seere-
tary Tumulty that any suggestion from
him would be welcomed by the presi-
dent This became known to-day at the
White House.
Several suggestions were made by Mr..
Taft. the principal one dealing with the
Monroe doctrine. This was stated Off
cially, but White House officials de-
clned to give out the text of the com
munication.
The former president talked over the
telephone with Mr. Tumulty last week
and made known his desire to make some
suggestions if they would be welcome in
Paris. When Mr. Tumulty told him
President Wilson would be glad to re-
ceive them. the proposals were forward
ed to the White House.
Several days ago a message was re-
ceived at the White House extending the
presidents thanks to Mr.. Taft.
When President Wilson received the
message making known that Mr.. Taft
desired to submit amendments, it was
learned to-day, the president cabled the
White House urging that they be sent as
soon as possible and expressing apprecia-
tion that the former president had con
cluded to make the suggestions.
White House officials had a message
today from Rear Admiral Grayson, stat
ing that the president was working prac-
tically night and day, but that his health
was withstanding the strain admirably,

seeks to settle the conditions required

CoBLENz STRIKE DIDN'T COME.
These Who Had Asked for More Pay
Resumed Work.

Coblenz, Wednesday, March % (By
the Associated Press The general
strike which had been set for Wednesday
among the German workmen in various
trades in the American area of occupa-
tion failed TO materialize and up TO late
tonight no trouble had been reported
from any place in the area In Cobenz,
where they asked for more pay several
days ago, the workmen returned to work
this morning.
When the American intelligence Office
heard of threatened strike by the
tailors, the Americans let it be known
among the Germans in the occupied zone
that there were no places for unem-
ployed men and that after April | all
men not willing to work would be sent
TO unoccupied Germany, The result was
a scramble among the tailors to get back
to their jobs with an increase in pay
which, however, was not as much as they
had sought.

WAS BACKER OF wEIsGERBER.
J. Kingsley Burnett Went on Stand in
Defense of Accused.

New York, March Ell. Kingsley
Burnett, manager of the Tri-State News
bureau of Pittsburg and financial backer
of Captain Edwin G. Weisgerber chem
zeal expert and army officer on trial be-
fore a court martial here, testified to-
day after the government had closed it's
case that he was a British subject. He
was financially interested, he said. in
Weisgerbers synthetic fuel, an offer of
which to the British war mission in this
country figured in the charges that the
chemist had sought to bring about dam
age to motor engines employed in the
military forces of one of Americas asso-
eiates in the war.
To offset the governments accusation
that Weisgerber threatened TO withhold
inventions relating to motor generation
from the United States unless he was
made a colonel, Burnett said he had sub
mitted sample of the synthetic fuel to
the oil production division of the council
of national defense late in 1917. after it
had been used with success to drive a
taxicab in PittsbuEg.

ANOTHER DEFEAT
y FOR GERMANS IN
FIELD OF TRADE
Their Hopes to Reconquer American
Markets Blasted by Decision to Sub
ject German Importations to
Prosecution.

Washington, D. G., March 27-German
hopes Of reconquering American markets
received another blow to-day Users of
dyes, chemicals, fertilizers and other
products originated by German science
were notified by the alien property GUS
todan that importations from Germany
hereafter would be subject to prosecu-
tion as infringement of patents licensed
under the trading with the enemy act
for use by American manufacturers.
Possibility of a dumping of great sur
plus stock which Germany was reported
to have accumulated with the intention
of underselling and perhaps sitting the
infant American industries in the same
lines thus has been blocked effectually
before shipments could begin Govern
ment officials regarded the decision as Of
far reaching Importance to business in
this country.
The decision was announced in a letter
from Alien Property Custodian Garvan
to Burwell S. Cutler, chief of the bureau
Of foreign and domestic commerce, which
said:
"All Of the German dye and chemical
patents land in this classification there
are included allied subjects, such as me
tallurgy, fertilizers, fixation of nitrogen,
hydrogenation of oils, etc. have been
seized by the alien property custodian
and sold to the chemical foundation. The
chemical foundation viii use the patents
to prevent interference with the Ameri-
can industries to which they relate by
Germans after the war, by issuing non
exclusive licenses to American manufac-
turers and will also institute suits for
infringements based upon the importa-
tion of goods OF German manufactures.
'lt seems to me that ii would be de-
sirable to absorb the trade in the United
States that the importation of German
chemical products may result in infringe
ment of patents owned by the chemical
foundation and thereby lay the importer
open to prosecution
The chemical foundation mentioned by
Mr.. Garvan is an association Of manu-
factures, incorporated in Delaware by
capital stock Of 100000. the voting
posed of the members of the advisory
sales committee of the alien property
custodian's office Several hundred pat
ents registered in this country by Ger
mans, the most important covering the
manufacture of drugs aud dyes, for
which this country has been virtually de-
pendent on Germany, hove been licensed
for by Americans and new names sub
stituted for the foreign designations, to
make the industries more thoroughly
American. The law provides a fixed
compensation to the originator Of the
plant.
While the alien property custodian's
opinion did not touch on copyrights,
which also come under his jurisdiction,
it was said informally that the same
principle would apply. Several German
owned operas and various scientific
works have been licensed for production
and publication in the United States.

DEATH DUE TO DEFECT.
Spring Hanger on Engine Broke and
Brought Death to Octave ]. Vizano.

Burlington, March 27.-The public
service commission held a meeting here
yesterday to investigate the accident in
the railroad yards about a month ago,
which caused Octave J. Vizano to lose his
life. Vizano was riding on the front of
a shifting engine when he fell off and
was run over by the locomotive.
After hearing the testimony the COM
mission came to the conclusion that a
spring hanger broke which caused the
front of the engine to settle down on
the footboard, the latter being swept I'M
der the engine and throwing Vizano so
that he also went under the engine.
