WOMEN TESTIFY
IN CASKET CASE
Other Buyers of Stock Also
Are Called by Government
in Prosecution.

The prosecution at, the trial of
James w. De Camp. Edwin c. Reed
and Ralph a. Howe for alleged con-
spiracy in connection with the sale
of stock in the Crystal Glass Casket
Company before Justice Hitz and a
jury in Criminal Division l today
continued the introduction of testi-
mony by purchasers of stock The
government also tried to get into the
record evidence concerning certain
advertisements of the company, but
this was deferred.
Cora Saunders told of buying $500
worth of the stock from Howe in
October, 1920. She said Howe told
her the company had a large plant in
Oklahoma and was manufacturing
caskets. He also told her the in
vestment was good and the stock
was likely TO advance. On cross
examination the witness admitted
that Howe merely had expressed his
opinion of the value of the stock and
his expectation of a rise in value.
Miss Alice E. McWhorter, superin-
tendent of nurses at Garfield Hospi-
tai, said she purchased stock from
an agent, who gave her some litera-
ture and explained the enterprise
She said she had no reasons to doubt
what he said and invested in fifty
shares. for which she paid $50 cash
and executed notes for the balance.
Later, she said, he learned she had
made mistake and called on Reed.
then secretary-treasurer of the COM
pany, and requested the return of her
money and notes, which was refused.
Charles Z. Soelkey, a retired under
taker, called by the government, said
he also had made investment in the
EtOck. On croSS-examination the wit
ness said he had been shown a glass
caskst which looked good to him."
Other purchasers included John A.
Hummer and Emmet r. Cloud.
Two stock statesmen for the Crystal
Glass Casket Company yesterday testi-
fled. and identified pamphlets and other
literature said to have been issued by
the company.
Claude A. Embrey said he was en-
ployed by Howe and was given no
instructions in the sale of stock, only
to follow the literature. Randolph
told him to follow literature in his
talks to prospective purchasers.
He identified his signature on a
stock subscription. On cross-exam-
inatinn he admitted that Howe had
tell any lies" In connection with the
sales.
Notes Are Identified.
Fritz Alexander. who purchased
stock in the company, identified four
teen promissory notes given ain con-
nection with the purchase of stock in
the company. Reed showed him some
literature, in one conference, and
telegram from Oklahoma, which set
out that the company had succeeded
In making small, middle sized and
adult sized caskets. Endorsements of
the company by local people were
also shown him, he stated.
Other purchasers of stock who testi-
fed at the trial included Mrs. Caro-
line p. Metcalf, Mrs. NJ. q. England

With thirteen of the twenty. taxi
cabs operated here by the Pennant
TaXicab Corporation already replev-
ined. by the Colonial Finance Cor

marshals were securing the city to-
day for the other seven. The writs

concern had failed to meet its notes
in payment for the cars.
The thirteen cabs were seized last
night by United States MarshaIs

tlorney for the plaintiff. At the Of
Wees Of the Pennant corporation to-
day it was not known whether the
marshals had located the remainder
of the fleet or not.
Considerable excitement and then
amusement was caused by attempts
of the Colonial Finance Corporation
TO seize the cabs last week with the
assistance of operatives from the
Burns Detective Agency. The detec-
tives persuaded ten marines to ''hold
up the drivers, take the cabs and
drive them to New York.
The entire procession. however. was
arrested on the outskirts of Balti-
more, and the marines, one chauffeur
and three Burns detectives are await

Whether luck is with the re-
publican side of the House today
or with the democratic side or with
both sides is a moot question.
Shortly after the House met to-
day. while the vote was being taken
on the amendment. which would con-
tinue some of the land, offices
which the bill sought to abolish, a
large black cat dashed out of the
republican clpakroom in spite of
efforts of half dozen employees
of the House to heSd it off, and ran
down the republican side.
Just as the vote was announced
that the amendment had carried.
while the democrats were applaud
ing, said black cat ran across to
the democratic side and out through

In answer to your question, what was the best
story of the week." should say the one list
ing the members of the English cabinet under
]. Ramsey Macdonald and giving the salient points
in their previous careers. The article found
on the first page of The Star of Wednesday, Jan.
uary %.
1t seemed to to contain the most important
and thought.provoking information Of the week,
and this for several reasons. a
First, because Macdonalds cabinet is the first
which directly represents the labqrng man, and
trial of its efficiency would seem to be. trial of
the governing power of the common people. As
such it will be Of importance for its bearing
on own political situation.
Second, because the labor party is a minority
party and it will be interesting to note the
of its measures in parliament and the length of
time this 'makeweight" party will be able to keep
its power, which will depend almost entirely
the work of the cabinet.
And third, because Macdonald's cabinet has as
members not only the laboring mans natural rep.
resentatives-former Iaborers-but also men who
have held high positions under previous govern
ments The question this brings is: Can capital
and labor. aristocrat and commoner, work together
successfully and amicably; or, what is more impor-
tant, satisfactorily to the English people!
That article was like the opening act of a great
world drama. which introduces the characters and
gives the beginning of the plot. The whole world
awaits the second act.

seems to be abroad that all Brazil is
tropical and blisteringly hot.
OF all Brazilian States Sac Paulo
has always been the most attractive
to- the immigrants. 1t has been able
to offer the best opportunities. 1t is
true that the three southerly States
of Parana, Santa Catherine and Rio
Grande do Sui have received many
immigrants in the last few years, but
far fewer than has Sac Paulo.
Labor on Plantations.
Sac Paulo's immigration statistics
for 1923 show that less than $4,000
immigrants entered the State and
nearly 10000 left. The net gain of
10000 was not enough to meet the
requirements of the coffee planters,
who need $4,000 immigrants annually
properly to harvest the crop and care
for the trees.
This shortage OF labor is one of the
factors forcing the planters to mod
ernize their farming methods. Trac-

ment's failure to make good on prom

be keeping many Europeans from
casting their lot in with this great
republic:
In the past living conditions in the
interior have been such that there
was small object for a European to
come to Brazil while the doors of the
United States were open. In ad-
dition, low wages and the climate
here were against European immi-
grafton. But changes have come
with the immigration restrictions in

immigrants live in the cities. while
Germans try farm life, as do most of

The japanese immigrants really
bear the brunt of the hard work in
developing the interior districts of
Brazil, but as their numbers are
small their advance is slow.
