witness was nex asked to produce
the instructions given by the court TO
the grand jury and testified in effect
that the report had been taken from

later asked to return the document
he said that he considered 1t the
property OF the grand jlry and there
after did not return IT,. The foreman

Attorney Zurich then offered a copy
of the newspaper containing what
purportcd to be q copy of the instruc-

each other with legal technicalities,
but it was later agreed that he re-
port as printed in the newspaper
might be cut out and when pasted on
a sheet OF paper admitted in evil
dence for the purpose 1t was offered
with the same effect as the original.
This witness was then further asked
rs TO who the various bidders were
on the hospital contract and testified
to the effect that Andrew HeXem and
W. V. Hogan were among the unsuc-
cessful bidders In connection with
the construction of the hospital. and
it was later brought out that both
the gentlemen named were members
of the former grand jury and togeth-
err with X. T.. Middagh constituted
the committee appointed by the grand
jury 10 investigate the hospital mat

that during the period In which the

Hexen. Hogan and Middagh called
upon him In his Office and examined
his records. He produced a state
ment showing the cost of the con-
~struction OF the building and when
asked II IT contained the figures given
to the members OF the grand jury he
replied that II did. Objections en-
tered by Attorney Qunyle were the
occasion of further legal battling and
the recorder ard auditor produced
the voluminous records Of his Office
to show the original figures. He was
asked In detail as to the amounts

The official figures showed a total

estimates furnished by the superin-
tendent I'm charge of construction OF
$35,327.6e and the further sum Of
S2,6l96 50 as extras, which were re.
ferred 10 In a letter written by the
superintendent OF construction and
giving his reasons for the changes
in the original plans and speciflca-
lions. In this iten, Is included $40
for base blocks, on which sone testi-
mony was introduced as to whether
IL should be considered an extra
charge or not.
Referring 10 Messrs. IleXem. Ho-
gan and Middagh, Attorney Zurich
asked the witness, They We're a COM

anything touching on this line OF ex-
, animation. holding that opposing
counsel could not elicit from the wit
ness evidence OF the functions of tho
grand jury because n was against
public policy.
The jury was then admOnished by
the court not TO discuss any matter
pertaining TO the recess and excused
the Jurors until 10 o'clock Tuesday
morning. May 30.
II was then agreed between eoun-
sci To take the matter up before the
court at 9.15 o'clock Tuesday morn

TUESDAYS SESSION.
At the opening of court Tuesday
morning the recorder and auditor re.
sumed the stand and Attorney Quayle
withdrew his objection to the ques-
ton last asked the witness before
the recess.
When then further questioned by
Attorney Zurich tho witness replied
that Messrs. Hexem, Hogan and Mid
daugh were members OF the grand
Jury aad when they called upon him
they told him they wanted to examine
the records In connection with the
expense of the county hospital and
that he gave them the records. The
witness further testified that he as
sisted the members OF the grand jury
in the matter. He did not remember
the exact date of their call but fixed
II as about January 20. 1921. When
asked II he then gave the committee

the reply was that they came. as he
recalled, through the committee APP

piled that he did and further said
that the figures 50 given them
amounted to $54.625.S3.
When asked by Attorney Zurich,
Can you tell me Mr. Mckernan
from the records OF your Office as to

twenty-third day OF February, 1921,

the recorder and auditor replied.
NO, sir: II was not"
The figures as submitted by the re-
corder and auditor were clear and
convincing. He gave them and show

tion and they were received without
further question until plaintiff Swal-

LONDON, Nov 12.--In the excite

and the renewal Of the Turkish crisis
few persons in Britain outside Of finan~
ciai circles have clearly envisaged the
extremely unpleasant situation which
lies at the bottom of the declivity down
which the majority of Continental cur
rencie5 took further slide during the
last week.
Lloyd George, with characteristic
nimbleness, has promptly claimed that
the latest currency depreciations were

natural reaction following every vio-
Tent movement and optimism over
the prospect of untangling German

largely illusory may be easily deduced
by comparison of the report of the
committee OF experts-as distinct from
the Reparation Commission delegates
and Poincare's speech in the Chamber
Thursday.
Thus, white the experts at the be-
ginning of taefr report stipulated, eve
are Of the opinion that SO long as Ger

A close reading OF Poincare's speech
reveals that France might consent to q

or if her debts to the Allies were scaled
down. Since in the last analysis this
scaling.down question must rest with
the United States, one condition seems
as impossible OF fulfillment ais the

PARIS, Nov. 12.-The unprecedented
movements in the exchanges continue
to dominate public sentiment and
monopolize the attention OF the
Chamber of Deputies, which Is recon-
mending anti-speculetion measures
and. demanding q balancing OF the
budget. The government policy IS to
make the income taxes more effective
and concentrate on the development of
national and colonial resources.
The restriction Of imports from
countries with high exchange is also
contemplated, although the small coun-
tries like Switzerland would doubtless
ly be excepted, as the Swiss bought
twice as much from France In the last
normally lie most profitable, but 1t 10
felt that 1t is essential TO make the
people understand the necessity for
maximum production, and TINT the
trade war Is now being waged In its
most dangerous economic form. The
hulwark of favorable trade balance
for exterior credit lis now as important
to France as an interior budgetary
ecuiihrium.
Parmentier, che General Director Of
Funds, has suggested that g central
bureau Of control be established TO su~
pervise the movements of capital and
fix exchange values at regular inter
walls. While this would involve the or
ganization of general exchange mar
ket for virtually all of Europe, II would
seem impossible to eliminate specu-
lative activity, as the markets in Lon
don and Amsterdam would retain their
independence.
Loucheur, in the Chamber Tuesday,
voiced the universal desire for a con-
structive and Draconic solution Of the
reparations problem, and said that this
was the only means Of valorizing the
franc. He favors deliveries in kind,
while payments would be guaranteed
by the transfer to French control OF SO
per cent of the shares Of German In
dustrial enterprises. This stock would
not cross the frontier, as such action
might lead to depreciation. The stock
would be returned to the German Arms
making the deliveries.

strength during the last few weeks, re-
fiecting the Improvement In. business
rather than the depreciation In francs.
Money still demands high rate Of In
terest, and discriminating laws inter
fere with the normal supply and de-
mand. The Rente Foncier, which owns
large blocks Of real estate in Paris,
has not paid dividend since 1914, al
though with the passing Of the mora
torium such companies should profit by
the increase in realty values, with con-
sequent aid to the Treasury.

BERLIN. Nov. 12-The most inn
portsnt developments in Germany's
hnancial outlook during the week were
embodied in the interesting reports
submitted to the German government
by international experts as q result of
tho negotiations between the govern
ment and the reparations commission.
Now that the Berlin government has
made these reports a basis of it's
proposals to the commission for
stabiiisation Of German finances, the
next move is up to the Allies.
All hope Is now pinned on the
6russels conference and international
bankers, who are reported ready to
grant Germany loan of half a mill
non gold marks, to be used together
with similar amount from tho
keichsbank's gold reserve In an effort
that Germany is granted q two years.

1t rs hoped here that the Morgan
committee will reassemble before the

surprising II the mark suffered still
lower fluctuations, combined with err

A good deal will depend on the in

The week has been marked also by
widespread capitalization increases by
German banks and industrial enter

tinues passive. October imports
amounted to 421 100000 gold marks
and exports to 280,000,000.
