Pull VERIFIED COAL TO
BE MADE TO FLOW AS
LIQUID, SAYS TRENT

PITTSBURGH, Nov. 16 GA method
of making pulverized coal flow as a
liquid and the possibility OF the coal
industry and technique undergoing q
radical change when the process be-
comes fundamental, was described to-
day by Walter f. Trent, president of
the Trent Process company, before the
conference on bituminous
coal.
"Pulverized coal can be made to flow
and run and seek it's own level" Trent
said. "The mere heating of pulverized
coal to a point at which
vapors are generated (either chemical
water or hydrocarbons) gives to the
coal state of great mobility. In
this condition it resembles liquids and
answers The common laws of liquids.
when it becomes possible to treat
coal as a liquid instead of a solid the
coal industry and all coal technique
must undergo a change. The mining
of coal, its transportation, it's burning,
it's carbonization and its Justification
will be affected"

MRS.G|BSON To
TESTIFY EARLY
THURSDAYA.M.|

SOM E r VILE, N. j.,
Nov. 16 (AP)-Promise Of
the prosecution in the Hall
Mills case to offer Mrs.
Jane Gibson as a witness on
Thursday morning at 10
o'clock, today caused an adj
journment of the trial until
that hour.
Mrs. Gibson, woman farmer who
raised pigs near the spot where the
bodies of the Rev. Edyard w. Hall and
Mrs. Eleanor R. Mills We're found more
than four years ago, is expected to
testify she was in the immediate vicin-
ity of the place where the minister and
choir singer We're slain and recognized
one of the defendants.
Alexander Simpson, special prosecu-
tor, in asking for an adjournment un-
til Thursday, told the court today he
had the assurance of doctors that Mrs
Gibson, i'll for 10 days in Jersey City
hospital, would be able to testify and
undergo a reasonable cross examina-
ton" Thursday Simpson indicated
that with Mrs. Gibson's testimony his
case will be virtually closed.
Over objection of the defense, the
state today succeeded in offering two
witnesses in an effort to show that
detectives working for Mrs. Hall made
efforts to suppress testimony. A diary
previously having been identified as
written by the slain minister and
found in the home of the choir singer
after her death, was read to the jury,
as was a copy of prayer the Rev.
Mr.. Hall wrote for Mrs. Mills when
she went to hospital for an opera
tion in 1922.
Other documentary evidence admit
ted was a statement by Henry stevens,
made to Jersey City police officers in
vestigating the double killing. The
state, foiled by a court ruling in an
attempe to have the jury visit the spot
where the bodies were found, tried un-
successfully to have pictures of the
scenes projected in the court room.
The defense has about 40 witnesses
to present and members of the defense
legal staff suggested that less than
one week would be needed to present
their side
The states attack on methods of de-
tectiyes working for Mrs. Hall was
made just before the luncheon recess
today, when two witnesses were called
10 testify as to the activities of Felix
Di Martini, a private detective employ
ed by the woman defendant

She said the detective asked her how
she would like to "have enough money
to clear off the mortgage and little
more after he had told her that he
knew she had a mortgage of $4,000 on
her home. Mrs Demarest added on
cross examination that she did not
know Di Martini's name until he re-
vealed it to her, when she had ordered
him out of the house with statement
that she wanted no "blood money"

 Belgium has vested King Albert with virtual dictatorial powers to wage :hat country's fight against financial Waterloo.

King Albert the powers of financial dictator for six months. Meanwhile the Belgian franc was quoted in the official closing figures at 211 to the pound sterling and 1850 to the dol lar.
 While the French cabinet was ap- proving the full powers bill upon which NJ. Caillaux, the finance min ister is working, yesterday, the French franc fell to a new low level, reaching 200 to the pound sterling and fl to the dollar.
 The government will ask parlia- ment to vote the unlimited powers bill within AS hours after discussion on that measure opens winch prob ably will be Tuesday. It is reliably reported that the government de- mands the right to legislate on all questions of a purely financial na- ture, such as fixing the rate of taxes and customs and the negotiation of loans, the proceeds of which might be used in defense of the franc.
 The government has announced 1t intends to enact measures for the cessation of further recruiting and hiring of functionaries, cancellation of all contracts for new buildings or repairs on state-owned edifices, and reduction of the staffs of central ad- ministration offices 10 the number obtaining in 1914.

been prevalent in discussions of par liament Hobbies and the press. It was even declared in the chamber the franc was due to manipulations in New York.
 Berlin despatches say a tone of resentment against the United States also has been noticeable in certain quarters there. Vorwaerts came out editorially in defense of French criticism of the American attitude in the debt negotiations, classifying it as not only understandable but also fully justified from the German viewpoint.
 The socialist paper declares it can not understand why the United States should refuse a former ally the same protection it voluntarily extended to Germany. This state ment was prompted by a socialist motion introduced in the French chamber asking that the govern ment reopen the debt negotiations with the United States for the pur- pose of incorporating a transfer clause to protect French currency from suffering as a result of the payment of her annuities. German currency is protected by such a clause in the Dawes plan, Vor- waerts says.
 There is ever-increasing doubt in France that Washington will grant a safeguard clause, without which the debt agreement is almost cer- tain to be defeated in the French parliament.
 Little hope for ratification of the Washington accord until parliament reconvenes in October is held at Paris, it being predicted the finance committee will not be ready to re- port on the agreement until it is too late to ratify it before the chamber adiourns its present session.
