Further inquiry into the financial
three sons and four others charged
with conspiracy to defraud the United
States marked the session today of
tho trial before Justice Stafford and
a jury in criminal Division No. 1. The
jury perked up when United States
Attorney Gordon called the first
jury in criminal Division l. The
interest, however, was short-lived. as
she appeared merely to identity a

much relieved when Maj. Gordon eX-
cused her from the stand.
Woman on Stand.
Miss Mary A. Day came from New
York in response to a call from the
prosecution. She was identified as
having once been private secretary
to Erwin A. Morse, one of the sons of
Charles w. Morse, and on trial with
him. After she had identified the let
ter the government reserved the Of
fering or the paper until the trial is
farther advanced.
Charles S. Bookwalter was the next
witness. He was district officer for
the fleet corporation in 1917, and is
now with the Shipping Board. He
identified large number of checks s
given by the fleet corporation to the
Groton Iron Works for ship construc-
ton under the contracts. The checks
were countersigned by him.
Valuation Increased.
Under croSS-examination by Nash
lockwood for the defense, Daniel
II. Giligan, an expert accountant
testifying for the prosecution. ad-
mitted that when the value of the
Noank plant was increased on the
books from 100000 to 100000, it
represented not only the real estate
at Noank, but another site across the
river which the Morses had pur-
chased. The witness declared he had
been directed by William H. Dennis
of Dennis & Young, accountants. to
100000 and to change capital stock
from 100000 to $1,00O,000. In
answer to Judge lockwood the wit
ness agreed that SO far as these
Items were concerned the statement
was a joint one for the company's
two plants at Noank and Groton.
The witness testified that while the
statement Of assets as contained in
the Dennis & Young report appear
ed on the company's books as of
April 80, 1917, the actual entries were
not made until the following June.
A new set OF books was opened, he
explained.
Gilligan said also that the Noank
plants books showed overdrafts on
May 1. June 1 and July 1, 1917; that
creditors made frequent demands to
be paid and that the company was
unable to satisfy all OF them. The
concern also had difficulty in obtain
ing payments from the Shipping
Board as the work on the ships pro-
gressed, the witness declared.
The first payment was received on
July 2, 1917, and was for $360.000,
which was deposited in a New York
bank, together with an additional
$4,000 which the company borrowed
from that bank. Some of this money
was used to liquidate old accounts,
but tho witness could not say whether
any of the funds from the govern
ment were used for that purpose.

90 per cent. The per cent of high

tration in public high schools in
creased 325 per cent. College and

$40 per cent in that twenty years.
Some comparisons taken between
the dates of 1900 and 1920 are inter

WAR SUPPLIES NOT FOR SALE

The late President Harding direct
ed the secretaries of war and navy not
to permit the sale of surplus military
supplies, including arms and ammu
milton, to foreign countries or to pri-
vate concerns in this country who are
likely to resell them abroad. The re-
strictiOn will be a real influence to-
ward world peace. Practically all of
the foreign sales of surplus war
stocks were made during the Wilson
regime. Hundreds of thousands of
dollars worth were disposed of on
credit to the soviet government, thus
feeding the flames of war in Eu-
rope. How MIR. Wilson harmonized
that policy with his widely advertised
love for world peace was not dis
closed. Mr.. Harding would have none

THE FEW AND THE A N

If only a few persons have the
wealth of the country in their hands,
will some n explain how the others
manage to increase the production of
automobiles?
How does the average woman and
girl manage to veal silk stockings?
Who uses the incalculable output of
gasoline? The "few' can't possibly
do it.
In 1920 the entire output of coal
was $4,000 tons. In 1920 it was 600
million tons. Who used it?
Where has the calico gown gone?
1t was common wear indoor and out a
generation ago. Who wears the i'm
mense output of good clothing for
men and women? The few can't
keep up that market.
The "few'' can't use all the bath
tubs; they are not responsible for the
electric lighting plants and the gas
plants. Those Industries couldn't run
on the demand of the few.
1t is stated by statisticians that the
average home in America possesses
three times the articles of ommon
use that the average home of 1900
possessed. It is probably too low an
estimate. Somebody buys the furni-
