DEFENSE CLOSES
 IN MR. A. CASE
Trial Involving Blackmail Of Prince Nears Jury
 Stage

LONDON, Nov. 27.-Hearing of the testimony in the mysterious case in- volying the equally mysterious eastern potentate, MT. A, who became inti- mate with Mrs. Maude Robinson and then paid $75O,OOO to keep his name from an English divorce court, has ended. But the eager crowds. anxious to hear every word of the salacious story of Indian love rites imposed upon his white paramour by the oriental prince, continued to gather before the court entrance.
 Sir John Simon, counsel for the Mid land Bank which is defending its &C., tion in honoring checks drawn upon the VI hush-money fund deposited there, announced that the banks case was closed Thursday and proceeded immed lately with his argument. Following a consultation between lawyers and the judge, it was announced that the case probably would go to the jury Friday.
 "This is plainly blackmailing plot" Sir John began, and then proceeded coldly and impersonally to dissect the testimony of Mrs. Robinson and her husband, Charles, and to compare it with that of Montague Noel Newton, the black k-moustached william in the case, who turned states evidence for q fee of $15,000.

RULES ARE SENT
 FEDERAL JUDGES
 TO SPEED CASES
District Courts Urged To Deny Continuance By
 Counsel Agreement
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-Impor- tant changes in rules for the transac- tion of business in the fderal courts throughout the country, which are ex- pected to speed up the conduct of trials, are outlined in letters just sent to all federal district judges by Chief Justice Taft.
 The proposed changes were worked out at the recent judicial conference here of senior circuit judges, who considered them vital as a means of expediting the orderly transaction of all federal litiaa tion and preventing the clogging of the court dockets. Chief Justice Taft, as chairman of the conference, in transmit ting the recommenda tions to the judges, expressed the opinion that they would contribute largely to "the practical dis patch of business in the conduct of your court"
 To force prompt disposition of all cases, the district judges are urged to adopt rule providing that when any case might have been brought to trail, but has not been within one year, the counsel and the parties to such pro- ceedings shall be given notice of the first term of court following January each year, thirty days in advance of its op- ening, and if no action is taken in such cases within that period of grace, the court shall upon opening the term enter an order of dismissal.
 The district courts are urged to adopt rule which would prevent the con- tinuance of cases to another term by agreement of counsel. Other engage ments of counsel should not be accept ed as a grounds for continuance, it is held, and no combinations should be allowed except for good cause shown by affidavits, such as sickness of party or unavoidable absence of an important witness.
 It is also suggested that the courts at frequent intervals fix times for the hearing of motions and the settlement of issues. Postponement of matters on such calls should not be permitted, the l confernece agreed, except for causes that would justify continuance os a case set for trial.
 Another suggestion, designed to pre- ven delay frt .uently incident to the se- lection of jury, is the adoption of a rule by the district judges whereby the examination of prospective jurors would be made by them alone. Should counsel on either side desire additional inquiry to determine jurors qualifications be- yond that conducted by the judge, the new rule would require that he submit the questions to the judge for presenta- tion at his discretion.

SOVIET LEADERS
 CHARGE HERESY
 TOLEON TROTKY
War Minister Taken To Task For Abandonment
 Of Principles
(By Associated Press.

MOSCOW, Nov. 27.-The full text of the reports of Leo Kameneff and NJ. Stalin attacking War Minister Trotzky have just been published. These reports heretofore have been con- fined to the inner circle of the com munist party.
 Trotzky's career, prior to the 1917 revo- lution and during and after the bolshe- vik de'etat, is carefully surveyed in 40 columns of printed matter.
 Both Kameneff and Stalin, the soviet leaders, strive to show that Trotzky always has acted as ''menshevik' and now has departed from pure bolshevism and party idealism.
 Forced Into Campaign
 Kameneff explains that the central committee of the party was compelled to inaugurate campaign against Trotzky because his recent book, Les sons of the 1917 Revolution" was be- ing published under the ostensible pro- tection of the committee party, and, coming from a member of the party's political bureau, which directs the work of the committee international, the book creates a danger for the party.
 It cannot, therefore, Kameneff says, De allowed to pass unchanllenged. If no exception is taken to the book. he added, 1t might be accepted as a manuel for young communists and members of the communist internationale.
 Heresy Is Alleged
 While Kameneff confined his general criticism of Trotzky to his own self de- fense, Stalin, who is a member of the executinve committee of the communist party, dwells unsparingly upon the war minister's "heresy'' and his alleged abandonment of Orthodox bolshevik principles. He accuses Trotzky of at tempting to take Lenie's mantel for himself. He also urges members of the party to wage a relentless war against the military leader, as otherwise Trotz- ky's ideas may become the concentration point for all n-proletarian clements who strive to disintegrate the proletar- ian dictatorship"

To Settle Accounts At Halifax
 Before Leaving
lRX Associated Press.l

HALIFAX, N. S., Nov. 27.-Au- thorities announced today that Leo Koretz, alleged Chicago swindler, will leave here Saturday morning for Chi cago. He was to have departed Fri day, but a postponement was made so that number of small accounts against Koretz might first be settled.
 CHICAGO, Nov. 27.-Authorities here awaiting the return from Halifax, N. S., of Leo Koretz, promoter of Pana- ma oil schemes in which millions were lost, learned that an effort may be made to block his extradition, set for tomorrow.
 A young woman, who was in his company when he was arrested, was reported as ready to file charges which might prevent the planned departure. However, officials were notified that Koretz had signed a waiver of extra dition rights in the Halifax jail yes terday.
 Delays in leaving Halifax because of actions of small creditors, to whom Koretz owed about $1,500, have been reduced by the receiver here of his estate, who guaranteed payment of any bills he may leave behind.

Sl5,O00,OO0 CREDIT
 GRANTED TEUT0N RAILWAY LINES
Third Of Loan Will Be Underwritten By LOn-
 don Bank Group
(By Associated Press.)

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-First steps in financing Germany's railways, as re- constituted under the Dawes plan, were taken today by American and British bankers, who placed a credit of $15,- 100000 at the disposal of the German State Railway company.
 One-third of the loan will be in hounds sterling and will be underwritten by London banking group headed by ], Henry Schroeder and company. The New York banking syndicate, headed by Speyer and company, includes the Equit- able Trust company, the Chase Securi- ties corporation, Blair and company, the Bank of the Manhattan company and the J. Henry Schroeder Banking corporation.
 Worlds Largest System
 Organized in accordance with the Dawes plan to take over the operation of German railroads under private man. agement, the German State Railway company constitutes what is said to be the largest railway system in the world, having 33,000 miles or road. Tw0-thirds of the equipment, consisting of S1 900 passenger cars and 750,O0O freight cars is less than ten years old.
 The original cost of the system, which expands into every part of Germany, was S6,2OO,O 100000. Present capitali- zation consists of $3,O97, ,O00, 900 com mon stock, issued to the German gov ernment or the German states and $2,- 62O, O,OOO OOO first mortgage reparation bonds guaranteed by the German gov ernment, which have been issued to q trustee appointed by the separations commission.
 Bonds Authorized
 The company also is authorized to is- sue S476, ,OO0, 900 in preferred and $22,-

5OO,OO0 second mortgage bonds, which will be pledged as security for the S15,- 100000 credit.
 First indications that the railway provisions of the Dawes plans are orer- ating successfully are given in a report to bankers, which says that net earnings of the system promise to exceed the esti- mates of the Dawes commission. Ex- perts estimate that the prfoits from the first years operation would total $95,- COG, 900, but. according to the latest off, ficial information net earnings for the first 15 months beginning October 1, 1924, now are expected to reach $250,- COG, 900.
