MAKE DECISION IN
LONG CASES TODAY
Accused County Officer Given
Preliminary Hearing Before
Justice j. L. Beach Yester-
day, With Little Court Room
Crowded to Its Full Capacity.

The little court room on Richmond
street in which Judge j. L. Beach dis
penses justice, was thronged with
spectators yesterday morning, when
the trial of the two criminal charges
recently preferred against County
Officer NJ. D. Long were taken up for
a preliminary hearing.
The warrants against the object
were sworn out by Ben Rozier, ct. al,
and allege the offenses of cursing in
the presence of females, and pointing
a weapon at another not in his de-
Tense. There were five witnesses for
the state, all being members of the
automobile party held up, on a search
warrant, by Officer Long and Chief
Norris, when the alleged offenses took
place.
Five witnesses were also introduc-
ed for the defense. including the two
officers, and three disinterested per
sons who were present at the time
the search was made. The testimony
of the witnesses for the state and of
those for the defense was in direct
conflict in all essential details.
The prosecution was represented by
Attorney Gibbs, of Jesup, while At
torney Mark Wilcox, of the firm OF
Conyers & Wilcox, appeared for the
defense. The case was stubbornly con
tested at every point, and the wit
nesses were subjected to searching
examination.
The three disinterested witnesses
introduced in behalf of the accused
officer were emphatic in DENYING th2t
Mr.. Long used the language with
which he is charged, or that he used
his shotgun in threatening manner.
The two ladies of the auto party were
equally positive to the contrary, and
there the evidence rested.
The trial lasted several hours, and
able arguments were presented by
both attorneys, after which Justice
Beach reviewed the case briefly, stat
ed there were some points he desired
to give further consideration to, and
that he would announce his decision
this morning. which will be awaited
with considerable interest.

Paris, Feb. 2.
Both Americans and French are in
volved in a searching and sensational
inquiry just completed by a French
Parliamentary commission into what
was declared to be amazing profits
American army stocks left here in
1919 and sold 10 the French Govern
ment. Gabriel Despair, a member Of
the Chamber of Deputies commission
! investigating the case, to-day char
acterized the situation thus:
"Scandalous deals were contracted
| with persons without money and with
out business scruples.a All the culprits
must be punished. regardless OF their
social or official standing. II the State
is to blot out a scandal which cost
millions and entailed disorder, cor
ruption. robbery and looting."
NJ. Despair charged that certain Of
ficers of the American army, under the
benevolent eyes of French war stocks ad-
minlstrators." did just as they pleased
with camp materials.
France purchased these stocks by a
! detailed inventory dated March 81.
1919" he said I'm the following August
we took possession Of the camps. but be-
tween the date of the purchase and the
delivery OF the goods American soldiers
OF all ranks sold for their own profit
everything they could. They looted
shamelessly. Under the Indifferent eyes
OF French authorities one American Of
hcer shipped $500 automobiles to St
Nazaire. TO be reshIpped from there TO
tho United States. There was no in
quiry at all and yet such incidents were
numerous
NJ Despair declared there was difficulty
finding out just how much of the stocks
disappeared. and he blamed the French
authorities for not revising the inventory
when they took over the camps. which"
he asserted. have shown conclusively
the costly results of the American looting
operations"
However. the lootng continued long
after the Americans had left France for
home, he admitted. He declared he had
obtained evidence of shady transactions
which the Ministries charge with the
liquidation Of the stocks would be called
upon TO explain.
In Paris dispatches 20 THE NEW York
HERALD IL has already been told how
huge boxes OF dried fruits sold for less
,han five cents each. However. NJ.
Dcspax said this was nothing compared
with the Governments laxity in selling
structural iron and steel from certain
camps. The climax was reached. he as
serted when a manufacturer offered TO
buy ALL the available iron at 40 francs
ton. The offer was rejected. but
week later the lot was sold to another
manufactures for eighty francs ton.
and he. in turn, sold II to the hrst bid
der at a price forty francs ton less
than he had offered 10 pay the Govern
ment.

Washington, ID. e., Feb. 3.

The Senate Naval Affairs Commit
day gave a sweeping Endorsement TO
the recommendations Of the General
Navy Board, which commended the
capital ship as an efficient fighting
arm of the Navy and the uninter-
rupted continuance of tie naval build
ing programme. The only vote against
IT, was that of Senator King (Utah),
Democrat, who will file a minority re-
port
The text of the majority report was
not completed to-day but will be sub
mitted tomorrow. II Will incorporate
not only views of the General Navy
Board. which was before the commit
tee to-day in executive session, but
also will uphold contentious made
TO the committee by Admiral Coontz
chief of naval operations. and Rear
Admiral Taylor. chief Of the bureau
of construction.
The investigation was made by the
Naval Affairs Committee in compliance
with the resolution of Senator Borah
CIdaho) approved by the Senate last
week. the purpose of which was TO sus-
pend the naval building programme SIX
months unless satisfactory proof could
be furnished that the capital ships now
being built were mot going to be obso-
lete when completed.
Senator Borah's contention, based
largely upon statements attributed to
British naval officials. has been that the
battle of Jutland demonstrated the OBJ
solescencc of capital ships. that they
could not be relied upon because of de-
velopment OF aerial bombing devices, and
that submarines were cheaper and more
effective. Neither OF these contentious
is sustained by the report to be made
by the Naval Affairs Committee. The
committee favors construction of naval
airplane carriers in accordance with
recommendations OF the General Navy
Board An appropriation for construct
ing airplane carriers at a cost OF s24.-
100000 each has been proposed by Sena-
tor Gerry Or. -. and may be added 10
the naval appropriation bill when Il
reaches the Senate for action.
Secretary Of War Baker announced to-
day that the invitation extended by Sec
retary Of the Navy Daniels to the War
Department TO participate in bombing
experiments TO show the relative merits
OF battleshlps and airplanes as naval war
agencies will be accepted.

New York Herald Bureau,
Paris, Feb. 3.
That the whole question of cancel.
ling the inter-allied war debts was
discussed at the time of the peace con-
ference by the committee on repara-
tons with American members of the
commission present, but that little
hope was given to France of any such
solution of the problem being evolved
was admitted in the French Chamber
Of Deputies this afternoon by Louis
Klotz, who was Premier Clemenceau s
Finance Minister, and who headed the
French reparations committee at that
time.
NJ. Klotz attacked Premier Brands
accord with Premier Lloyd George OF
Great Britain for nearly three hours
chiefly on the insufficiency Of the
financial help France is to obtain and
the failure OF NJ. BRAND to insist on
something definite in the way of an
international financial agreement which
would take care of Frances exterior
debt of 10000, 900, 900 gold francs to
the United States and more than
13, 900, ,000, 900 gold francs to England
He pointed to the hopelessness of the
situation If Germany's debt were dis
counted and France received only
40, ,0O0, ,000, 900 gold marks as her share
of the German reparations to cover
her huge budget deficit and the claims
the United States and Great Britain
may justly present any time they
want to.
Louis Loucheur. Minister of the Liber-
ated Regions, replying to NJ Klotz's
challenge, contended that there were less
than 10000. 900, 900 marks gold In the
whole world. which would not enable
the discounting of the reparations bill
at per cent. even if Germany were
disposed TO do so.
Heated passages frequently marked
the debate, in which Premier BRAND
