sence of checkerberry which has been
on trial in the supreme court for the
past three days came to sudden end
at the termination of the testimony
for the defence today. Counsel agreed
to refer the case to the law court and
no arguments were made. The de-
Tense appeared to be based upon the
allegation that Clifford Freeman, a
buddy OF Cullinan, who actually made
the purchase, called for "checkerber-
ry' simply. Edmund Angler, the
clerk who made the sale testified that
he was IS years old and supposed to
sell anything in the store but drugs:
that he was alone in the store when
Freeman came in and that he called
for checkerberry. The witness said
that he handed Freeman the bottle
to smell of, that he said that was
what he wanted and would take five
ounces. Not having a five ounce bot
tie four ounces was sold him. No
mention was made of essence Of
checkerberry. the witness declared.
Arthur Tetrcault. the defendant, was
sworn but he was objected to by the
plaintiff and did not testify. Attor-
ney B. F. Maher for the defense con-
tended that Tetreault had no deal
ings with Cullinan and that the trag-
edy was caused by the gross negli-
gence of Freeman and the indiscre-
ton of Cullinan> who mixed the oil
with ginger ale and drank it. Attor-
ney William r. Pattangall left Ban
gor tonight for Pembroke, called by
thefdeeth of his mother.

DEMOCRATS IN HOUSE
ATTACK BEL|TTLE U. S.
SAVING IN 1922 BUDGET
BRITISH PREMIER
DENIES NEAR BREAK
AT GENOA FARLEY

Genoa, May S.-(By A. P.)-Premier
Lloyd George himself appeared this
afternoon at a meeting which had been
arranged for the British and America
correspondents, apparently for the
purpose chiefly of denying reports APP
pearing in British and French papers
that Mr.. Lloyd George and NJ Barthou
came near the breaking point Saturday
and that the British prime minister
had virtually announced that the En-
tente was finished and that France and
England must go their separate ways.
Mr.. Lloyd George declared that the
differences between him and NJ. Bar
thou in no sense constituted a break
between the Allies and that the stem
ographic record Of their conversation
did not disclose any such statements
as attributed to him.
This record, however, was not avail
able to the correspondents, and Mr.
Lloyd George did not comply with the
suggestion that it be shown to the
press.
He reiterated the statement that the
Genoa conference may mark turning
point in European history. and assert
ed that success or failure depends
largely on the attitude the Russians
take in their reply to the allied men,
orandum, and that consideration of the
non-ag gression pact and continuation
of the negotiations were contingent on
the nature of the Russian reply.
If the Russian delegation answers
tomorrow, as seems likely, he said, it
would require at least another day
for the powers signatory to the Rus
sian memorandum to exchange views
and two or three days for the experts
to discuss the reply. If the Russian
reply was a categorical no" which, in
the opinion of the premier did not
seem possible then it would be difficult
to continue the discussions with the
Russians.
To the question as to whether there
would be a probationary period before
actual uS JuFe IttOSHltlpli III 49, W
agreement was reached. he answered
afirmatively but did not indicate how
long the period would be.
Speaking OF clause seven Of the Rus
sian memorandum. which relates to
property in Russia of foreigners and
on which, France and Belgium base
their opposition, he explained that the
clause was compiled by three Of the
worlds best jurists. Fromageot.
France: Batter. Belgium. and Hurst,
England. all of whom approved the
text. 1t also was accepted by all
countries except Belgium. France was
even permitted to make special
amendment to the clause before she
accepted It.
Asked if sufficient( money could be
raised p MAZE Russian reconstruction
possible, he declared there would not
be the slightest difficulty. as soon as
Russia restored world confidence.
