MOTHER AND SON,
ACCUSED BY GIRL,
HELD AS THIEVES
N. Y. Physician's Wife Gets
Bail. but Boy. Ewood
Adams, Goes to Jail.

NEW YORK. Aug. 1.-Dr.
Charles B. Adams was in the West
Side Court when his wife was held
in $1,000 bail on charge of GRIM
inally receiving stolen property, and
his stepson, Elwood Adams, twenty
one, was held in $500 on a charge
Of burglary.
The arraignment of mother and son
revealed that detectives have been
working secretly in an effort to con-
meet young Adams with other thefts
than those which Jean Cunningham,
servant girl, recently asserted she
committed at his insistence and to
prove her love for him.
The young chaps mother and his
two-months' bride have insisted on his
innocence since his arrest as a re-
suit of the Cunningham girls confes-
sion last July 10. They said then:
I'VE will stand by Edwood to the
end. There is nothing in the story the
Cunningham girl has told ,the police
except the desire OF a jealous woman
to get even We know he is
innocent"
After she had been released In bail
yesterday, the mother said:
II simply am the victim Of police
persecution. L am placed In this posi-
ton because I did what any other
mother would do--take the side Of her
boy. The charge against me is
ridiculous"
Young Adams. who had been re-
leased in $1,000 bail on the original
charge, did not obtain $500 additional
bonds yesterday, so he was locked up
In the Seventh District prison. He
stoutly asserted that he and his
mother knew nothing OF the burglary
as result of which they were ar
raigned.
This robbery occurred in the apart.
ment of Myrtle Tannehill. actress.
last January III. Entrance was
gained by a pass key. The police
charge that young Adams and a man
accomplice did II. They said thcy ex-
pected TO make another arrest soon.
Pearls and other jewels valued at
$500 were taken.
The robberies to which the Cum
ningham girl confessed were commit.
ted here and in Asbury Park and
Philadelphia. II was stated that the
girl took jewelry and furs Of total
value of about $4,000. The police
accuse young Adams of selling them
for about 81 900 OF which the girls
share was less than 500.

Within the last ten days several

are that thousands more will be given
employment within the next two

Invariably the men who are going
back to mills and mines are doing
so at reduced wages. generally 10 to
Is per cent below what they formerly
received, and in some instances at re.
ductions of 20 per cent. but the hys-
terra over wage cuts and open shop
has died out. Men want work and
they are glad to accept steady en-
ployment even at reduced wages.
Steel plants and steel workins In
dustries are booking large orders and
the whole atmosphere Is more opti-
niistic and cheerful.
The independent steel mills have
reduced wages to almost prewar
scales. United States Steel Is ex-
pected to get down to the independ-
ents' basis shortly.
Price cuts are expected In steel
products within a week or ten days.
When buyers who have been hold

more cutting, a flood of big orders
is anticipated and every plant will he

RELATIONS IN PANAMA
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, March s.-At the
first meeting of the new cabinet to-
day it was understood that in addition
to a general discussion of the program
for the special session of congress,
President Harding planned to take up
particularly the question of relations
with Costa Rica and Panama. In con-
sidering the legislative program the
president was prepared to present
views as to tariff and revenue legisla-
ton expressed by senate and house
leaders at the dinner rendered them
at the white house last night.
While no definite schedule of cabi-
net meetings has yet been agreed upon
it is believed that President Harding
may desire to meet with his official
advisors more than once a week, as
was the program during the Wilson
administration when they were held
on Tuesdays.
