for its Rome hop, but the American fliers chafed at their enforced in- activity and indicated they might go cloud hopping today. Yancey, navi- gator of the craft, said they would welcome foggy weather for the test hop as 1t would enable them to use their instruments. The two fiiers went aloft for a short night yester- day. and encountered conditions at 5000 feet which coated the wings of their plane with ice. Their plans off night flight were bandoned be- cause of cross winds and high tide. Armeno Lotti. third member of Ethe French crew, was in New York to receive detailed weather reports and consult motor experts about the fuel mixture. His companions here indicated he might return today.
 Le Fevre and Assolant arose at daybreak in anticipation of a test flight but returned to their room when they learned there was a cross wind blowing. Whether the flight would be made later in the day de- pended on change in the wind.

Oil Trial Procedure Ends With De- cisiOn-Chici OfDetectiye Bureau Not to Serve IS Days-PrincipaI Already Doing Six Months.

Washington, June H-The sen- tences imposed upon Harry r. Sin clair. Henry Mason Day and w. Sherman Burns for having the Fall Sinclair Teapot Dome jury shadow ed, were upheld today by the su- preme court. but the IS day sen- tence on William J. Burns was dis approved.
 While Sinclair and Albert B. Fall, former secretary of the interior, were facing trial on charges of con- spiracy in connection with the leas- ing of the Wyoming oil field to the oil operator, the case was suddenly terminated and the jury was dis charged.
 Three Sentenced Sinclair subsequently was sen- tenced to six months in jail for con- tempt; Henry Mason Day. one of his ! associates. received a sentence of four months. William J. Burns was 1 ordered to serve 15 days and w. Sherman Burns. his son, was fined $1.00O.
 Sinclair is now serving a three months sentence in the District of Columbia Jail for contempt of the senate. He refused to answer ques- tions before the senate oil commit tee in connection with the oil in- vestigation.
 In the case decided today the government charged that Sinclair through Day, had employed the Burns detectives to shadow the jury Sinclair contended the government had failed to produce evidence showing that the shadowing had ob. structed tho trial and all defendant, ', joined in an appeal.
 The court of appeals of the Dis trict of Columbia called on the su. preme court for instruction on points of law and Owen J. Roberts, govern. ment counsel, asked the highes, court to have the whole controvers, sent to it. Such an order was issued and the supreme court today dis. posed of the whole controversy, in. stead of merely answering the ques. tions and sending the case back foI action by the court of appeals.
 Similar action was taken by tho supreme court when the circuit court of appeals asked it for instruc tions in the case against Sinclair fol refusal to answer questions before the senate committee. The govern ment. in the jury shadowing case insisted that as the shadowing hat required new trial it constituted contempt.

OLDEST STREET GAR WORKER PENSIONED John I8oe RetirS After 42 Years sx. in Service
 @'S FOR HIS HONESTY
Vete, Orose Horse Cars For Five
 Years and Was in Charge Of First
 Electric Trolley Hun in Tsis

After nearly 4e years of faithful service. John Igoe of 2S7 Maple street, we'll known trolleyman, was retired Saturday on a pension by the Connecticut Go. He was the oldest man in years of service with the company and had the distinction of opening every new electrical line in this city.
 1 MT. Jgoe entered the employ of the Connecticut Co. on Sept. 16, 1888. For five years, he drove q horse car. On July 3, 1893, the first electric trolley line was opened to White Oak and the car was tn charge of Mir. Igoe. For a long time this was the only line estab- lished by the company but gradual ly other lines were opened and Mir. Igoe was put in charge of the cars on the opening day of each aew line.
 Never Had Vacation In his 42 years of service, Mr. i Igoe has never taken time off for q , vacation and the only days he missed 1 from work was in 1918 when he was thrown from a car and re- ceived a fractured skull. This forced him to remain in bed for some months but he returned to duty and since then las worked regularly. Mir. Igoe has never had car under his direction involved in serious accident, q fact of which he is very proud.
 Recalls Horse Car Days
 Speaking of the horse cars. the veteran trolleyman recalled that they were very crude and the drivers were forced to sit out in the open front in all kinds of weather. The horse car routes were as follows: West Main. South Burritt to Arch back to the center: South Main to East Main to the Fairview cemetery; and Chestnut street. Mr. 1goe was on the West Main street line.
 Although MT. lgoe has been con- ductor on every line in the city, ne devoted most of his time in recent years to the Hartford line. He spent the greatest number of years on the line to Lazy Lane which was abol- ished after the Meriden line was cs- tablished.
 Often Marooned By Storms
 Mir. Igoe has experienced all kin is of thrills and interesting moments since joining the Connecticut Co. In the late sos the trolley cars were put to all kinds of trouble by the heavy snow storms and, according to Mir. Igoe. he spent many night marooned in his car. During one winter, he was forced to remain in his car for three days when the ve- hicle was caught in a terrific blz- gard while on the way to Hartford The early trolley cars had open fronts and did not have any heat ing apparatus.
 When the electric cars first came out. the motormen and conductors lwere forced to work seven days q

 Berlin, June 5 ReThe German government has formally proposed to Belgium separate negotiations on the still outstanding mark ques- ton with . view to settling it be- fore the Paris agreement can come into force or the new separations plan be jeopardtzed.
 Paris, June 5 R-With the im- portant problem of German marks in Belgium shortly to reach the stage of active negotiations. the last question standing in the way of complete accord on reparations to- day seemed headed for solution.
 Experts Finishing Work
 The experts, while apparently marking time pending negotiations between Germany and Belgium re- garding redemption of German marks, were busy putting the tin- ishing touches on their report as far as can be done before complete agreement is reached.
 News from Berlin that Dr. Ritter, a ministerial director, was about to start for Paris to meet the Belgian plenipotentiary. M. Gutt. brought re- lief to the tense situation that exist ed since the experts came to an agreement on all other points.
 There were good prospects. in the opinion of we'll informed circles that the Germans and Belgians would reach an agreement and make possible signing Of the report before the end of the week. It was even thought that Owen D. Young, Thomas w. Lamont and Thomas x. Perkins, the American experts, might be able to catch the Aquitania on Friday. J. F..
