 The park commission wishes to carry out a part of it's development program in the Stanley Quarter park this yearand will have representatives before the board in support of these projects.
 City Engineer Joseph p., Williams will explain the condition of tho sub way fund. Only $50, ,oO0 in bonds re- main 10 be drawn upon and there are several streets in which the board of public works wishes to place sub ways Plans for procuring more bonds will be devised.

CHEMIST ACCUSED
 OF POISON MURDER
White Plains Man Said to Have
 Given Wife Germs

| White Plains, N. r., April s. Pneumonia and diphtheria germs are
 believed by physician to have been
 administered to Mrs. Clarence o. Bar ing whose husband, an inventor and
 dabbler in chemistry, is held on
 charge of poisoning her.
 | Mrs. Barring is wealthy and 46 years | old, seven years older than Barring,
 who is her second husband. She was divorced from her first husband. | When Barring was arraigned Satur-
 day he entered plea of guilty ex-
 cept as to intent to kill" plea which was changed later to not guilty. | His counsel said this was due to ner- yousncss.
 My client is absolutely innocent" counsel stated. "He has a strong case on its merits and feels confident of ultimate vindication.' Barring is the eastern representative of the Minneapolis Heat Regulation company.
 District Attorney Rowland report | ed that signs of pneumonia and diph- theria germs had been found in the blood of Mrs. Barring at various times in the past three months by Dr. Henry Nicr. her physician during the last three years. These were given her, the physician believed, in ginger ale, root beer. and solid foods. When Barring was arr,igncd, however, the allegation was that he put arsenic in her food.
 Despite reports that she was i'll, Mrs. Barring conferred at length with the prosecutor yesterday. Another person examined was Mrs. Walter Straud of Baltimore, mother of Bar ing, who paid brief visit to her daughter-in-law and then took up residence at hotel. The official also talked with Mrs. Earrings brother Arthur Griffith, at Providence, R. l., over the telephone.
 Earrings friends advanced the theory that wrought up by chemical experiments he temporarily lost his mental stability. >
 District Attorney Rowland later announced that he would ask the court to hold Barring without bail un- til late today whom, he said, he ex- pected the grand jury would have re- turned an indictment charging, at- tempted murder as result of charges made by Mrs. Barring that her husband had attempted to poison her.
 Evidence that pneumonia and diph- theria germs were administered to Mrs. Barring would be presented 10 the grand jury together with charges that Earring administered arsenic to his wife, according 10 the district at- torney.
 Besides the written charges made a gaiust her husband by Mrs. Barring the district attorney said testimony would be given before the grand jury by Dr. Nier.

 Arrangements for broadcastisg tho dedication ceremony beginning at 10:30 a. m., were made through sta lions WCAP at Washington and WEAF at New York and the station at Providence, R. l.
 Gano Dunn, of New York, chair man of the building committee, in turning over the structure to the academy and council, explained that it's cost and funds for it's maintenance were provided in a s5,0O0,OO0 gift from the Carnegie corporation ito aid in realization of one of the ideals of the life of Andrew Carregie-the lnar- messing of science to lift the burdens and improve the condition of all the people of the United States.
 Speakers besides President Coolidge and MT. Dunn includer Dr. A. A. Michaelson of the University of Chi cago, winner of the 1907 Nobel prize for physics, and president of the Acad- cmy; John C.

AUCKLAND DEFENDS
 INCREASING RATES
Argues for Raise in N. Y.
 Communication Charges

New York, Sept. S0,-New York state is two jumps behind" Massa- chusetts. Connecticut and Rhode Is- land in the matter of increasing communication rates, E. c. Buckland, vice. president of the N. r., N. H. & II. railroad declared today before the interstate commerce and the public service commissions,
 Addressing the commissions at resumption of rate hearings, Mir. Buckland pointed out that after the war the federal body increased local interstate passenger rates from to 46 cents a mile but did not increase intrastate and interstate commuta- ton rates in proportion. So the New Haven in company with other lines asked that such proportionate increases be authorized.
 "All states served by our road Massachusetts. Connecticut and Rhode Island-acquiesced," Mir. Buckland continued. But New York refused. Last year the New Haven asked the states through which 1t runs for a further 20 per cent increase In commutation rates. Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island again compiled, but not New York. So New York Is two i,,p,oe hehind thnse other states"
 Mir. Buckland was the first wit ness with Ulysses Butler, chief ex- aminer of the interstate commerce commission and William A. Prender- gast, chairman of the public service commission, presiding. An hours battle over the introduction of eVid- ence preceded his appearance on the stand.
 Hugh NJ. Hewson, corporation counsel for Mount Vernon, and Charles A, Van Auken for Ne" Rochelle, appeared for commuters of their respective cities. Edgar L. Hull represented the Bridgeport, Conn, chamber of commerce; Jere- miah Holmes with W. T. Hoylt, president of the Milford, Conn, chamber of commerce, represented commuters of Bridgeport and Mill ford.
 The New Haven was represented hv Charles M. Sheafe. general solici- tor and B. I. spock, general counsel

 NO DECISION IS SEEN
Neither Side in Chinese struggle For Supremacy Shows Any
 Great Advantage
By Tho Assoelated Press.

Shanghai Sept S0.-Tho fourth day of continuous fighting Detween rival Chinese armies near Shanghai was completed tonight with no evi- dences that early termination of the battle could be expected,
 The battle started Saturday with opening of an offensive by the Chekiang- Shanghai forces against the besieging Kiangsu province armies.
 At 9:3O o'clock tonight the muf- fled roar from the war front some score of miles distant, told Shanghai that the entrenched fighters still found strength to continue their con- fliCt.
 Engagements of lesser importance took place last night and were con- tinued today near Liuho and Hwang- tn.
 The Chckang Headquarters at Lungwha is momentarily expecting kiangsu attacks 10 be launched against its lines of defense southwest of Shanghai, beyond Sungkiang, where the Chekiang army numbers 5000.

MOSUL QUESTION
 NEAR ADJUSTMENT
Turkey and England Agree to
 Compromise Probe
By The Associated Press.

Geneva, Sept. S0,--Nolable pro- gress toward the settlement Of the Mosul controversy was made in the council Of the League or Nations to- day when the representatives of both Turkey and G eat Britain agreed to accept the appointment Of a special committee of three persons who will collect all the available information on the Mosul question and will sub init to the council at d later date their suggestions as to the best means of solving the problem
 Conciliatory speeches were made by Lord Parmoor of great Britain and All Fethi Bey of Turkey both of whom agreed 10 accept any de- clsion concerning the frontier be- tween Irak and Turkey, which the council might pronounce.
 Todays developments before the council were regarded as increasing the possibility that Turkey would apply for membership in the League of Nations in the not far distant fu- lure.
 Concerning the recent reported Bkirmishes on the lrak frontier be- tween Turkish and Irakian troops, the council urged that both the Turkish and British governments re- store and maintain peace on both sides of the status quo frontier pending a definite settlement of the controversy.
 The exact date for the interna- tional conference, to which the United States will be invited, for the adoption of a convention to control the international traffic in arms will not be fixed until the December ses- sion of the council, which will prob ably be held in Rome. The council has decided to await replies from the various governments who will be asked, in the meantime, whether April or May, 1925, would be agree able for the convocarion of this con- ference.
 In view of the fact that the make up Of the leagues disarmament com mission will undoubtedly be revised to prepare for the general interna- tional conference on the reduction of armaments, the council voted to take no action at this time on the assembly's resolution that the dis armament commission draw up the draft conventions on the private Aa # Trrt+t \ ,r,.t can collaboration.
