Swami Called to Stand
In Fritz Murder Trial

The clash between District Attorney
Martin, Of Bronx County, and DR.. Otto
H. Schultze, medical adviser to Dis
trict Attorney Swami, over DR.
Schultze's testimony in the trial Of
Ernest Fritz, alleged slayer Of Mrs.
Florence Coyne. resulted in Mr..
Swann's being called as witness by
the prosecution in the Fritz case yes
terday before Justice Davis and q
jury.
Mr.. Swami denied he had ever char
acterized as ridiculous" Mr.. Martins
charges against DR.. Schultze. He cx-
planned he had merely said that the
medical dviser was under Civil Serv-
ice and co1ld not be removed, except
after trial on charges. He added later
that he would take no action on Mr.,
Martins accusations until after the
close of the Fritz trial, as to do so now
might prejudice the jury.
MI. Martin alleges that DR.. Schultze,
after performing an autopsy on Mrs.
Coyne's body, informed him it WAS q
typical ripper murder" On the stand
DR.. Schultze said the defense's theory
of accidental homicide was plausible.
DR.. George Hohmann testified yes
terday he heard DR.. schultze direct
DR.. Kennard, an assistant, to insert the
word "homicidal" in the death certifi~
cate. DR.. Otto A. Pozdena, of The Bronx
Health Board, swore DR.. Schultze said:

turned yesterday on the transport
Northern Pacific, accompanied by his
wife and hteen-months-old son.
He said ths dirigible would be big
feature Of future transportation, and
that it was Infinitely more comfortable
to travel in than on q steam ship. The
passenger of the air, he said, does not
feel the vibration, pitch and roll Of
vessels at sea.
He said that Germany operates an
air service between Berlin, Stockholm
and Berne, Switzerland, and that the
Germans have transported 100000 pas
sengers by this air route without an
accident. Eventually. he said, it would
be feasible to leave St. Louis in the
afternoon by dirigible and arrive in
Cuba on the following day.
Mrs. Hensley and his son, he said

cling in Germany. Shortly before they
left Switzerland, Colonel Hensley said

This decision, reached at an execu-

No Hint of Probable Reply
of u. s.. Has Been Made
Known in Washington

WASHINGTON, March 2.-News from
London that negotiations between the
premiers of Italy and Jugo-Slavia for
. direct settlement Of the Adriatie
question had come to a sudden end
caused surprise here.
No official explanation has been re-
ceived. but It is understood that the
ending Of the negotiations resulted
from publication in London newspapers
of q special Washington dispatch say
ing that President Wilson would reject
the invitation Of the British and
French prsmiers that he join them in
inviting Italy and Jugo-Slavia to be-
gin negotiations looking to settle
ment.
rhe Presidents reply to the British
and French premiers is now being
prepared, but there has been no init
nation as TO what it will be. In view
o. his previous statement to the pre-
miers, however, that he would accept
Slayia which did not sacrifice the in
terests Of the nationals Of third
power, some officials expect that he
will accept the premiers' invitation.
- LONDON. March c.-Auton Trum-
Stitch. the Jugo-Siav Foreign Minister,
speaking to-day concerning tho Adri-
atie question, said:
"As far as Serbia is concerned, the
London discussion Of Adriatic affairs
has resulted in no progress whatever.
We are gratified to see that President
Wilson is standing by his guns and in
sisting that there be no adjustment Of
the difficulty other than one which will
be equitable to all concerned and GER
tain to guarantee peace.
"The British and French reluctance
to publish the recent White House
correspondence is another instance of
European preference for the old secret
diplomacy. There Is on indication that
Premier NAti personally is in a concil-
iatory mood. and l think he may be
going to Rome for further discussions
with hie government. Where the con-
versations will be resumed is uncer-
tain, as Rome may not be regarded fs

Chaplain Upholds Demands
Father Edward Jay, chaplain Of
Brooklyn Post, 21l, was cheered by the
delegates when he made vigorous de-
mand for the bonus award.
While no official members Of the
committee which conducted the hear
ing to-day would intimate what their
action will be, it is likely that they
legionnaires indorse by referendum the
national legislative committees pro-
gram calling for farm loans, loans for
city homes, a flat cash bonus or voca-
tional training, the veterans to choose
any one of the four plans offered.
That the state posts will indorse the
program is not doubted for moment
by the legionnaires here to-day.
When tho question of possible Fed
eral bankruptcy as result of the
bonus was broached to-day, the dele

stand the strain the United States
could.
AS to the state bonus, there are
three bills before the Assembly now.
Two provide for payment to veterans
of $40 month for each month of serv-
ice, while the other, prepared by As
semblyman Martin McCue, provides for
fat payment Of $500 to each veteran.
The following members Of the AS
sembly, nearly all war veterans them
selves, addressed the delegates to-day,
pledging their support of the measure
selected by the legion:
Louis Cuvillier, New York; Ransom
H. Gillette, Columbia; Ralph Halpern,
Queens; John Webb, Dutchess; Thomas
F. Cosgrove, Richmond: Mitchell A.
Trahan, Westchester; Charles N. Har-
rington. Clinton; David E. Jeffreys,
Niagara; Edward F. Healey, New York;
James l.. Carroll, Kings, and Arthur
E. Brundaga, of Orange.
Assemblyman Carroll, who served
with the 11th Field Artillery, urged
that five restrictions be placed on
recipients of the bonus. as follows:
Must be a citizen.
Women to have equal standing with
men.
Conscientious objectors barred.
Must have honorable discharges.
Veterans may decline bonus il they
desire.
Assemblyman Theodore Roosevelt,
chairman Of the legion's Americanism
commission, called meeting of that
body to-day, at which it was decided
to thoroughly Americanize all war
veterans. then to utilize them in the
work Of making good citizens of the
foreign born of the state.

Jug0-Slau Note Echoes
Wilson's Adriatic Vie,r
Adherence to agreement Of De-
cember 9 Insisted On; Claim
to Lissa Is Only Difference

WASHINGTON. March 2.-Strict ad-
herence to tho American. French aud
British agreement CT December 8 on the
Adriatic question characterized the re-
ply Of January 20 o. the Jugo- Slav gov
ernment to the French and British "ul-
timatum" on January IA. The Jugo-
Slav note, which was made public TO-
day by the State Department., raises
many of the same objections as set
forth in President Wilson's note Of jan
uary. -, protesting against the over
turning of the previously agreed solu-
tion Of the vexatious problem.
The single insistent difference which
distinguishes the point of view Of the
Jugo-Siav reply from that Of the
agreement signed by Secretary Polk on
behalf of the United States, December
8, Is over the cession to Italy Of TIE
Island Of Lissa, which, according to the
Jugo-Slav note, "is purely Slav and
from an economic point Of view indis-
solubly united with Dalmatia."
Border Adjustment Opposed
Concerning the readjustment of "the
Wilson line" as proposed in the French
and British proposals, the note declares
such an "unjustifiable annexation Of
purely Jugo-SlAv territories would
bring about new and fragrant viola
ton Of the principles of nationalities.
1t would inevitably create a permanent
hotbed of irredentism within the from
tiers Of N&ly of a nature precisely
analogous to that which was held as o
justification Of the claims Of italia
irrcdenta,' in which its return to the
mother country was demanded"
The aggrandizement Of Italian terri
tory TO the east Of TIE Wilson line in

cannot be justified on the grounds OF

While accepting the independence of

to the separation of the diplomatic

Along with Its constrained accept

Jgo-Slavs emphasize the imminent con-
sequence of commercial ruin which

from ita administrative association with

New England Textile Cen
tiers Are Hard Hit BY
Depression
A FEW MILLS ARE
ENTIRELY CLOSED
Others Are Working on a
Shortened Schedule
of Hours

Boston, Nov. l7.--Curtailment OF
production which began some months
ago in New England textile industries
employing 100000 operatives has now
reached a point where the total output
is less than one half that of ono year
ago, according to estimates made from
a canvass to-day of the great mill CEN
tiers. In some instances the curtali-
ment runs as high as so per cent. A
few mills have shut down entirely.
The majority have adopted a working
schedule of three or four days week.
Mills that continue in operation on
full time with full crews are excep-
tional.
Thus far only isolated announce,
ments of wage reductions have APP
peared and those have been for the
most part in small mills where oper-
stiyes have been presented the choice
of ten per cent wage cut or shut
down, the manufacturers contending
that they had found themselves unable
to continue business under the former
wage expense In only one of the big
textile mills now operating. that OF
the Lawrence Manufacturing company
in Lowell, known as the largest hosiery
plant in the world has there been ~
wage cut. The mill recently resumed
production after shutdown with a
wage reduction of from 20 to 30 per
cent. Protests have been voiced by a
sestion of the employees and a union
has been formed there, but the mills
operation on short time schedule has
not been interrupted.
The agreement reached at Fall River
Yesterday, after several conferences be-
tween cotton manufacturers and oper-
atives' committees providing for con-
tinuance of the present scale of wages,
the highest in the history of the in
dustry, has been greeted with much in
terest in union labor circles as an indi-
cation possibly OF the attitude that
manufacturers in other districts may
take, regardless of the depressed mar
ket conditions and the general curtail-
ment of the working schedule.
