The defense took UP its cross-exami-
nation this afternoon beginning with the
alleged deposit Of 81 400 in the Perpet-
ual Building Association. Mrs. Blalock
had claimed that she deposited S700 of
her own money and that Capt. Burlin-
game added $700 of his money to this
as present, making total of $1,400.
Leahy handed her the record of her de-
post for the year and asked her to find
any notation Of such a deposit.
Mrs. Blalock furnbled through the de-
post slips, hunted through her bank
book, and endeavored to find additional
documents Of this nature, but was I'M
able to find any record of such a de-
post. She finally pointed to one 81 200
deposit, one 500 deposit and one 5000
deposit. and said that these represented
the 81, 400 placed in the building asso-
ciation
She faltered again in her testimony
when defense counsel led her into a
discussion of payment for repairs made
to the building at 1904 Seventh street
before she moved in. The defense first
produced a receipt for $780, dated
October 26 1927. Then check, which
Mrs. Blalock said she made out to Bur-
lingame to reimburse him for money
expended by him in making these re-
pairs, was introduced. Referring to the
receipt, Leahy asked her If Burlingame
gave it to her after she gave him the
check. Mrs. Blalock said that this was
the case.
do YOU mean to tell this board that
Capt. Burlingame gave you receipt
for $500 two months before the payment
to him was made?" Leahy demanded.
yes" Mrs. Blalock said That was
the case. I can't explain it."

ROOT EXPECTED

BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA, February 25.-League OF
Nations circles are greatly interested in
the coming of Elihu Root, who is ex-
pected here Friday.
Mr.. Root will serve on a committee OF
experts which will consider revision OF
the World Court statutes. His arrival
three days before the opening of the
March session OF the Leagues Council
will provide ample opportunity for a
discussion of the question of the United
States adhesion to the World Court
with high officials of the powers, includ-
ing Sir Austen Chamberlain of Great
Britain, Foreign Minister BRAND OF
France, Foreign Minister Stresemann Of
Germany and August Zaleski, Polish
foreign minister. all Of whom will at
tend the Council sessions.
1t was learned today that several
juriSts are now beginning to advocate
abandonment of the Councils policy Of
asking the Court to deliver advisory
opinions, taking the position that such
opinions are liable to complicate and
render more difficult actual settlement
of disputes by the Court. Should the
Council drop the privilege of asking
advisory opinions. 1t is felt there would
be no further difficulty in accepting the
American reservations, and the United
States could join the Court immedi-
ately

Speaking of affairs in this ward in

Il sat in conference Saturday with

Eaton forces described it as "a reign of

complaints and charges by arranging
extra details of officers in the bloody

as too much transfer protection may be
to some of the French. Hence. should
both sides demand too much they may
decide that it would be better to have
one fixed annuity
The Germans are virtually certain to
prefer this. since it would inevitably be
smaller total amount than under the
Stamp project. 1t is quite possible
therefore, that the Stamp dual annuity
plan will eventually be laid on the table
for future reference or in any case may
be greatly modified.
At present the real importance of the
draft Is that it will act as a lever to
force the opposing delegations into the
open on the question of how much the
annuities should be.
Delegates to Come Into Open.
For two weeks the representatives OF
the flve nations most concerned have
been playing a canny and slightly
nervous game Of hide-and-seek. each
trying to get the other to whisper the
magic figure which his delegation in
tends to ask for No magic figure has
yet been breathed,' but all realize that
they can hardly dodge the issue
throughout another week.
II the Germans do not want a dual
annuity, it appears logical that they
will have to discuss one annuity, and
the conference-in old-fashioned Ian
guage-will finally get down to brass
tacks.
Although no delegates have officially
mentioned exact figures, and all are
equally curious as to what the rest
have under their hats, those closest to
the experts realize the tremendous gap
in annuities which now separates the
nations chiefly interested
1t Is stated that some French officials
have discussed, outside the sessions,
round figures as high as 3,400, 000, 900
marks year. which. If voiced to a Ger
man, would evoke little less than horror.
On the other hand, the Germans
ideas are equally modest, as was illus
trated when this correspondent asked
German official last night If he did
not believe that 1000 900, 900 marks
might represent, roughly, the final COM
promise.
Two billion marks!" exclaimed the
German, apparently aghast why, we
can't accept figure of two billions.
We simply can't do it. What's the use
of having come here If we are to re-
ceive reduction Of only 100000 900
marks yearly?"
If these words reached French or
Belgian ears they would sound ex-
tremely painful Thus it is certain that
there is gap of at least a full billion
marks annually between what the
French think they ought to receive
and what the Germans think they
ought to pay-and at first the gap NAV
be nearer 2,000,00000O annually than
one.

MELLON SEEKS
BAN ON DRUGS
BY KENNETH CLARK
Universal Service

America is helpless to stop the
flow of vast quantities Of illicit
narcotics into the country with
out the active cooperation of the
world powers, it. was revealed by
Secretary of Treasury Mellon in
his annual report.
While the domestic situation is
improved. the report disclosed.
smuggling of dope for the use Of
American addicts is a serious
menace.
The report said:
"Of the total quantity Of
narcotic drugs manufactured
legitimately in this country,
the portion diverted to illicit
channels is sufficiently small
to render unimpOrtant the prob.
lem Of absolute prevention of
such diversion as compared
with the problem of preventing
the unlawful importation of
narcotic drugs from abroad.
Smuggling and subsequent
selling of opium, morphine,
herOin and cocaine continues
to constitute the principal en-.
fOrcement problem"
In view of this situation, Amer
lea is expected to accept the
invitation to the International
Opium Disarmament Conference
which has been approved by the
League of Nations. The leagues
opium advisory committee will
meet in Geneva on January 20 to
prepare for the conference.
An effort will be made at the
conference to limit the manufac-
ture of narcotics to the worlds
ectual medicinal and scientific
requirements.
In the domest': field the report
showed 5,193 convictions for vio-
lationS of the narcotic laws, and
a total of 83,789 ounces of mar
cotic drugs seized or purchased
as evidence.
AS evidence of the inadequacy
of present enforcement methods,
the report declared there were
S23,982 persons registered to man
ufacture, import, sell and pre-
scribe narcotics. The Govern
ment has but 270 agents to check
this vast army.
