New York. Dec. ia man Of
property, William G. Mohrman, lives
with his wife in barn loft at Ozone
Park, L. l., and subsists on a dollar
a month.
Without expounding the economies
which make such budget possible,
he made this assertion in supreme
court today, advancing only this rea-
son:
Il can't afford a home. Others are
up appearances.
The manner in which Norman
happened to enter the court. room

fastened with safety pins-was this:
Norman leased a two family
house and barn to tenants who
sought to purchase the house, and
when negotiations fell through,
sought to recover $500 option money
which they alleged they had paid
him. Mohrman, living in the barn
loft which he had sublet. was alleged
to have scorned summonses and then
was arrested on a contempt of court
charge.
Threatened with a Jail sentence If
he refused to take part in the court
action, Mohrman proved he had an
income of several hundred dollars a

Fourth of All Used in L. S.

Washington, Dec. 19-EXtended ar
guments for and against retention of
the present temporary duty of 16
cents a pound on Cuban raw sugar
We're presented today to Senate tar
if trainers.
Spokesman for American sugar
companies operating in Cuba declar-
ed the existing rate would prevent
the rehabilitation of the industry in
the island, While representatives of
the beet sugar industry in this coun-
try asserted that return to the
Underwood Law rate of one cent a
pound would prevent the develop
ment of that industry, if it did not
destroy it.
The senators were told by those
representing American companies in
Cuba that more than mere tariff
question was involved: that The re-
Mobilization of Cuba depended upon
the sugar industry. They also ar
gued that here was 100000 900 of
American capital invested in the
Cuban industry as against 5000, 100000
in this country.
It also was argued that the duty
proposed to be made permanent"
by the Fordney bill was the highest
imposed in thirty years and that it
represented a direct tax of s162, 100000
annually on the American people,
sS1, 100000 of which would go to Amer
lean sugar producers.
Witnesses also said that Cuba i'm
ported last year s515,000. 900 worth of
American products and that, since
the economic life of the island de-
pended upon its sugar crop. much of
this trade would be lost unless the
United States helped to rehabilitate
the Cuban sugar industry.
Finally it was agreed that the
clause in the Fordney bill permitting
American refneries to import at
three -fourths of the normal duty two
pounds of sugar for each pound Of
domestic sugar refined from beets or
cane was a violation of the spirit, if
not the letter of the reciprocity
treaty with Cuba giving a preferen-
tial rate of twenty per cent. below
the full rate on imports from tat
country.
Spokesman for the industry in the
United States testified that the beet
sugar industry had been developed
in seventeen states; that there was
invested in it 5000, 100000 with 95 fac
tories. 1t now is producing annual
Iy 100000 tons of sugar. or nearly
one-fourth of the domestic consump-
ton. Given proper protection. the
witnesses argued, the industry would
expanl to the point where it could
supply most of the domestic demand
and in case of war. make the country
independent of foreign countries.
AS to the tax on the people repre-
scented in the duty, it was contended
that this amounted to only H.44 TO,
each inha bitant each year and that
the industry was worth such an ex-
penditure by the people.

POSTPONE TRIAL OF
.PELlET|ER TO ALLOW
REED AT ARMS MEET

Boston, Dec. 19-The trail of Dis
trict Attorney Joseph c. Pelletier of
Suffolk county, before the supreme
court on charges Of misconduct in
Office preferred by Attorney General
Allen, was postponed today until De-
cember 81. The postponeemnt re-
quested by United States Senator
James A. Reed, counsel for Mr.. Pei
eltier, was granted by the full bench
of the court after the Senator had
asserted that business before the
senate foreign relations committee
demanded his presence in Washing
ton. This, he said, concerned the
refunding Of foreign debts.
ut is necessary for me to be with
my committee until that matter is
reported" the senator said. There
is also the question of the four
power agreement. The matter is so
critical that ! must be in Washing
ton"
In announcing that the request for
postponement had been granted, the
court said that the case must con-
tinue without interruption after De-
cember ~, because Of the heavy cal
endar.
Atty. Gen. Allen today offered two
new specifications to the charges of
misconduct in Office in addition to
the list of allegations already offered.
These amendments, which were ruled
out by the court because of their la te
presentation, charged that Mr.. Pelle-
tier had misused the powers of his
office in order to obtain pecuniary or
personal benefits for himself" and
had attempted to induce certain per-
sons to swear falsely.
Chief Justice Rugg, in ruling out
these charges, said that they added
new substance to the case against
the district attorney.
''They are of a grave nature" he
said. Either one would be sufficient
to remove him if proved. The at
torney general has been pressing for
an immediate trial. Under these cir
cumstances. the motion to amend on
the day of trial comes too late. If
the attorney general feels they should
be pressed, they must be made the
subject of new information"

1t was indicated that consideration of

already has been taken up.
Both from a humane and from an
economic standpoint, the deliberate

the requirement that rejected immi-

ficulty, he said, was to determine the
country of, origin of immigrants since
they were free to embark at any one
of number of ports.

Washington, Dec. 19-France has
taken steps to reconcile her views on
the naval ratio problem, with those
of the other powers, but her precise
attitude-now the crucial issue Of
the arms egotiations-remains in
doubt.
Unofficial advices from abroad in-s
dicated that Premier BRAND had de-
cided to accept the American pro-
posal for French capital ship fleet
of $4,000 tons in place of the $780,.
600 ton plan drawn by the French
! delegates.
Secretary Hughes. as chairman OF.
the arms conference, also received
from the French premier. a commun-.
! ication construed as meaning that
the French group had been directed
to accede to the American program.
But the French delegates them
selves did not so construe a long
message of instructions received from
the Premier during the day. They
described it as advising them to go
as far towards meeting the view as
, they could without sacrifice OF
! French national interests. 1t was
said not to embody a specific de-
cision nor to make reference to any
specific tonnage plan.

nation. Mr.. Hughes and Albert Sar-
raut, head of the french delegation,
! held long conference late this al
| ternoon and parted without making
anv Announcement 1t was said only
| that the conversations were proceed
| ing and that there was mutual ex-
pectat ton of ultimate agreement.
/ In other quarters also. there was
apparent distinct note Of optimism.
despite the days mystifying success
sion of developments. Among Amer
! lean officials in almost unanimous be-
lief prevailed that France eventually
would take the American figure Tor
her capital ship allotment. even
though she insisted on an Increase
OF submarine tonnage as an offset.
For the moment. the negotiations
are concerned solely with capital
ships. and to many delegates. nve
power agreement on that subJecs
does not seem far away.
1t is pointed out by the Americans
that even an effort by the French
to adopt conciliatory attitude to-
ward the views of the United States
may be regarded as a long step TO-
wards a settlement. The American
position all along has been that RAJ
tots should be adjusted on the bass
of existing strength while the $4,000
ton proposal of the French was
frankly predicted on the entirely an
ferent principle Of national needs.
So if the French premier has done
nothing more than approve the
American status quo" principle, he
has contributed a great deal, in the
view of American officials, toward
final agreement. -
The message received by Secy
Hughes was a sequel to last nights
conference between NJ. BRAND and
American Ambassador Harvey al

suited in the premier's acceptance OF
