Blackmail Charge Barred
During Pelletier Trial

BOSTON, Dec. 2s.-The case of Miss
Dorothy Cote, alleged to have been
threatened with prosecution on black
mailing charges, came up in testimony
to-day in the trial of District Attorney
Joseph c. Pelletier on charges of mis-
conduct in Office. William Shaw Nc
Callum, a Boston attorney, testified
that the District Attorney, after
threatening to prosecute, dropped his
a civil suit in which she was Mccall
lum's client.
Testimony designed to show that
Pelletier had been guilty of miscon-
duct through failure to prosecute a
confessed embezzler was offered earlier
in the day.
McCallum testified that Miss Cote
retained him in December, 1917, to OBJ
tain possession of an automobile,
which, she said, had been given to her
by Guy W. Lawrence, of Gardiner, Me-,
withholding from her. He said he was
proceeding with suit for conversion
of the car when he received tele-
phone call from District Attorney Pei
letter, who told him that Attorney
Daniel Coakley, representing Mr.. Law
renee, had asked him to investigate
efforts to blackmail Mr.. Lawrence
McCallum said he asked his client
about the case and she assured him
there were no grounds for action
against her. Accordingly he proceeded
with the conversion suit, only to get
another call from Pelletier, saying he
expected to present the matter to the
grand jury within few days.
By this time, McCallum said, Miss
Cote had become worried, and when
one of her girl friends received sum
mons to appear before the grand jury,
she became hysterical and dropped

Adjust Foreign
 Loan Situation
Administration is to Request the Authority of Congress in Near Future.

Washington. June 17.-Authority to readjust the entire foreign loan situation so that the nations outstanding credits may be put into more definite form is to be requested of congress in the near future by the administration.
 The administrations plan, which was discussed at length at todays cabinet meeting, contemplates conversion of the loans owed by European nations into in- terest-bearing certificates which could be absorbed by American business and com mercial interests.
 Congress will be asked by Secretary of the Treasury Mellon to give his depart ment sufficient authority to make these conversions. In some cases the depart ment already has that authority under the Liberty loan act, but there are other instances particularly relating to over- due interest, where additional legislative action is necessary.
 It is understood that thS presidents policy with regard to unpaid interest con- templates a distribution of the overdue payments over long period of years. Ar increase in the interest rate would be used to absorb these amounts.

Efficiency Ger many undoubtedly secured" he added. but at the expense of the broader ideals of loyalty and the deeper understanding of history which the American and Eng fish student has learned.

Poughkeepsie, \. T., June I7.-Attor- heys for James A. Stillman strove to prove today the bankers claim that Guy StAman Is iilegitimate, but before the cross-eXamination of one e their or-t- clpal witnesses had closed, it was brought out TOT the first time that Mir. Stillman ana the wife who is suing for divorce lived together under the same roof on two Sundays within the period considered important in establishing the paternity or Mrs Stillman's 31 months old son.
 Her counsel appeared pleased that the proceedings of the day had resulted in making possible the elimination of tho entire testimony of Dr. Hugh L. Rus sell. osteopath of Buffalo It was he who testified that Mrs. Stillman told him be- fore the birth of Guy Stillman that Fred Beauvais' the part Indian guide employed by MT. Stillman, was the child's fath- CT.
 On the ground that these statements were made by Mrs. Stillman while un- der treatment and were therefore priv ileged as between a patient and doc tor, her lawyers asked that the entire testimony of the osteopath be stricken out. Referee Gleason took the matter under advisement and promised to give his decision on June 2S, when hearings are resumed here.
 Mary Dive Gilligan, the nurse who attended Mrs. Stillman at the berth of Guy on November ', 1918, testified that the bankers wife directed her on that day to telegraph Beauvais a message saying Bleak Bear has arrived" She added that Mrs. Stillman had also asked her at the same time to locate Mir. SalI- man and request him to visit her
 The banker, who the witness said had gone to the hospital with his wife on the day before Guys birth subsequently, call ed several times but, so far as the wit. ness could recollect, he never was witt the newborn Guy, nor did he ever speal of the baby.
 It was learned tonight that Mrs. Still man has told her attorneys that durinl the summer of 1918 while she and he | children were near Grande Anse, Quebec where Beauvais was employed at thei | camp. it was agreed that when the ex pec.ed infant arrived messages woult be sent to all of the children And th.

New York. June l7.-Assistant United States Attorney Isaac Gross tonight as r.rted that circumstances surrounding discovery of nearly 800 machine guns aboard the steamer East Side at Hobo ken last Tuesday indicated that they were intended for use against a friendly nation and that therefore their presence was unlawful -
 Mir. Gross. by direction of Attorney General Daugherty today assumed charge of the investigation now being conducted by three federal agencies into ,,,--ership of the munitions aboard the steamer. Reports had reached govern rnent agents that the arms were intended for delivery in Ireland.
 Mir Gross said a careful investigation would be made of all circumstances con- 1ected with the discovery and if the facts s-ar-anted they would be put before the proper tribunal.
 Pesides agents of the department of justice. investigators of the customs ser vice and shipping board, owners or the East Side. are working on the case.
 Nr Gross said special agents of the 5epartment of justice were seeking chief engineer who was alleged to have come 10 the East Side shortly before the munitions were snuggled aboard and, af- ter refusing to take the ship out disap- peared.
 NIT. Gross hinted that two assistant engineers who appeared with this chief would be questioned when the East Side reached Norfolk. Va. as they were un- derstood to have sailed with the vessel.
 According to Chief of Police Hayes of uoboken and information in the hands -f government agents here. the East Side xas scheduled to sop at Norfolk to load -5aT for Ireland.
 The excuse that the boat was not In rroper condition. which the chief en- rineer officer is alleged to have offered for not sailing w4ch his ship, was consid- cred a subterfuge by officials of the op- -ratfnE company. Their suspicious were aroused and the raid by customs men followed last Tuesday. A report was made 10 the shipping board, owners of rre vessel. that 1t had been definitely es- tsbIished the arms had been smuggled aboard at night.
 Federal agents also have been in- formed that an engineer officer who Jeff Inc vessel when the marine strike was -qrod had received an anonymous warn .r- not to return. This warning was re- -.fed only after discovery of the arms

SAYS OIL PRODUCTION IN
 MEXICO IS UNLIMITED

Washington. June IT CBy the A P.).- J. A Phelan of the shipping board staff urges in his recent report on the Mexican oil situation transmitted to Chairman Porter of the house foreign affairs com mittee that since the proven oil field in Mexico lis fast going into salt water" the American government either directly and by cooperation with American capi- tai at once proceed to develop oil flelds' in that country. adding:
 That the potential production of Mex leo is almost unlimited is beyond ques- tion"
 MT. Phelan discusses at length condi- tions in the present field and presenta the following under the head of ''recom- mendations:"
 That the proven oil field in Mexico within reasonable period is certain to go into salt water Is denionstrated fact, and this may come sooner than expected. Inasmuch as the consumption of oil in the United States increased from two hundred million barrels to five hundred million barrels in ten years. it Is certain that this country will have to depend upon foreign oils and principally Mexican oil. for fuel purposes in the future.
 'As the American merchant marine iK fast going into fuel oil, it is neoessary, that this supply be assured This meanz that the American government. either di- rectly and by cooperation with Ameri- can capital at once proceed to develop oil fields in Mexico. That the potential pro duction of Mexico Is almost unlimited ir beyond question. but the proposition should not be delayed until after the present fields are exhausted. It takes years of time and fortune in money to develop an oil field.
 The United States Is confronted with an oil situation in Mexico today. Now is the time for decisive action"
 MT. Phelan's report, under date Of June 13. was prepared by direction of Rear Admiral Benson. former chairman of the shipping board. and transmitted tc Chairman Porter at Mir. Porter's request.

 Unless the senate agrees to the house compromise the bill will go back to con- ference.
