BRIBERY OPENLY TOLD, IS CLAIM
Additional Testimony in Means
 Trial Today

New York, Jan. 16.--Elmer w. Jarnecke, former secretary to Gas ton E. Means, one-time department of justice agent now on trial in fed eral court with his former attorney. Thomas B. Fielder for conspiracy to obstruct justice. made no secret of his employers alleged bribery ac- tivities, Samuel Schmidt. Chicago jeweler, testified at the trial today
 Jarnecke, who has pleaded guilty to the charge on which Means and Fielder are standing trial, owed him several thousand dollars, Schmidt testified. A former president of the Crager system, stock selling con- cern, was alleged to have given Jar necke s10,00o as part payment of s65,O00 total which Means is &C., cused of having told Safir would be spent In bribing Attorney General Daughcrty and other government officials to stop prosecution of vari- ous Crager defendants, the secretary paid him s4.o00 on account, the jeweler said.
 He told me-" the witness testi- fled, that he soon would give the rest of the money he owed me, as he was going to get $65,0oo from the Crager crowd"
 Schmidt said he also had met Fielder. In March, 1923, several months after the Crager defendants had gone to trial for fraudulent stock selling through the mails in spite of the $65,0O0 they alleged they gave for bribed immunity. the jeweler said Jarnccke told him to go to Fielder.
 Fielder has a s2O,O00 assignment from a man named Alder, who, l think. is a Chicago lawyer" Schmidt said Jarnecke told him. "Try to make Fielder pay you some thing out of this assignment, and apply 1t to my account"
 Schmidt explained that Jarnecke had not paid, him any more than s4,00O given him after Safr's all legged S10,000 partial payment check had been cashed. He called on Fielder, he said. and announced that he had been sent by Jarnecke.

MILITARY MEN AT
 FIELD CRITICIZED
C. M. Reyes Condemns Their
 ''DeStruCtiYe Policy"

New York. Jan. 18.-The "destruc- tive policy" of military men at Me- Cook Field, Dayton, wasted millions Of dollars appropriated for develop ment of aviation and made 1t nec- essary for American soldiers to fight under protection of French and British aircraft c. M. Reyes, presi- dent of the Curtis Aeroplane and Motor corpany, today told the con- gressional subcommittee which is in- yestigating the air service.
 This destructive policy" prac- tised throughout the war and con- tinued until recently, Mir. Reyes said, consisted in the refusal of army en- gineers to accept the assistance of- fered by skilled commercial de- signers although planes built under army supervision had proved "fu- ? tile, impossible and wasteful."
 Despite the fact that his design CTS had built ten planes to one de- signed by the army. MT. Reyes add ed, the Curtiss offer of cooperation was pere' 1ptorily refused and the company was ordered to build a plane called the Bristol Fighter" ," whioh army engineers had adapted From the British "spad" and the Italian "Capronic bomber"
 The first Bristol completed plane ssxo ubad tn aartb md killed the test pilot, MT. Reyes recalled. add ins that when the company had re- ported unfavorably on the design, production was ordered stopped by the army.
 'sThe factory we built at q cost of 31,e0o. 900 to construct these pla1es has since been g total loss," NIT. Ksyss said. Specific figures of the amount of money lost by the gov srnment in its "abortive effort" to design planes, would be furnished later. he asserted.
 The Curtiss company, which alone kemains of the concerns which at tempted wartime aviation manufac- Tars, would be forced to liquidate If khe system of aid for private con- csrns recently inaugurated by Major General Mason M. Patrick of the army air service were abandoned, the witness said. There was no as- surancs that 1t would be continued, hs declared.

Counterfeiting Auto
 Licenses Is Latest

Corning, N. T.. Jan. 16.-Evidence of the counterfeiting of automobile plates for use by bootleggers and others, to whom licenses have been denied Is believed to have been un- earthed by officials of the Corning Automobile club.
 Eight members of the Corning club recently have received letters asserting that legal proceedings had been instituted against them to re- cover damages alleged to have been done in accidents in New York and intimating that a settlement could be made. As each of the men who received the letters was not in New York at the time of the alleged &C., cident. an investigator was sent to meet complainants.
 In several cases 1t was found that the cars which figured In the &C., cidents were of different make than those for which the licenses were issued.

.SOVETS PETITION
 LEAGUE MEMBERS
Two Are ReluSalS and Third Is
 Affirmative
By The Associated Press,

by lNe AssoVlANtu FFess'
 Geneva, Jan. lG.-Although Soviet Russia is not a member of the league of nations she smashed all records even for members. today, by forwarding three notes to the Geneva peace organization. League officials comment was: Anyhow Moscow Is at least interested in what we are doing"
 Foreign Minister Tchitcherin's first communication was a flat re- fusal by Russia to adhere 10 the compulsory arbitration clause of the permanent court of international justice. All countries had been in- vited to adhere to this clause.
 In hls second note. M. Tchitcherin announced Russia's refusal to ad- here to the convention for simpli- tlcation of customs formalities, elaborated last year at Geneva in the presence of the American cham bers of commerce.
 The third communication from lHe husSldH lOl lGl6h IillHinleT Ndo more affirmative in nature. He accepted in principle the invitation to send delegates to the special league of nations committee for study of the question of unifcation Of tonnage in inland navigation.
 League officials said they were not surprised at the refusals con- tained in the first two notes. They pointed out that when the dispute between Finland and Russia over the frontier of eastern Karelia was brought before the world court, NJ. Tchitcherin refused to recognize the jurisdiction of the court, complain ing that the league was a capital istic organization.
 Acceptance of the proposition to study the navigation problem is believed to indicate, however, that Russia is ready to continue to CO., operate with the league in economic and financial technical matters She has already participated in con- sideration of health problems and took a prominent part in the naval conference at Rome last year.
