participation in the attack from
his unwilling lips.
These observers have expressed
belief that one Of the four de
PENDANTS might take the stand,
relate this version of the killing,
and absolve all of the other de-
PENDANTS of blame. But no con-
firmation of this has come from
defense quarters.
In this connection, it was
learned today the State expects
a plea of emotional insanity"
to be offered in behalf of one Of
the defendants.
Prosecutor John C. Kelley said
today he had learned on the
highest authority two prominent
psychiatrists we're coming from
the mainland to assist in the
defense.
DarrOw Will Not Talk
Clarence Darrow, gaunt, grey
haired veteran of scores Of
famous mainland legal battles, re-
fused to deny or confirm this
report. He said:
cat the proper time the de-
fense plans will be disclosed in
their entirety, but right now
the pertinent thing is getting
an impartial jury. We are de-
voting our entire energies to
that end"
Kelley said the names Of the
alienists were known, but he
would not disclose them out Of
Difference to the defense.
Close observers believed the
alienists if called would testify
in behalf of either Mrs. Fortescue
or Lieutenant MasSie.
Darrow, while guarding his
plans closely, has stressed two
lines of questioning in examining
prospective jurors.
In the first, he has insisted
that the details Of the Ala Moana
attack on Mrs. Massie have an
important part to play in the
trial.
This has been interpreted as
meaning that the "unwritten
law" will be invoked. The death
of Kahahawai would be at
tributed to "justifiable homicide"
under this line of defense, it
was believed.
May Call Mrs. Massie
It has been conjectured in this
connection that Mrs. Massie
might be called to the witness
stand as a defense witness to
save her mother and husband by
barring anew the horrible details
of her experience and again
identifying Kahahawai as her as
Sailant.
Repeatedly, during the fiery
legal clashes that have enlivened
The trial to date between Darrow
and Kelley, and his assistant,
Barry Ulrich, the government at
torneys have maintained that the
assault case had no place in the
present trial.
Again and again Kelley has
declared in court that the actions
of Kahahawai have nothing to
do with this trial"
Darrow has persistently in.

Some observers have interpreted
this as an indication that if the

would be exercised before the
jury is finally chosen.
Mrs. FOrtescue Calm
Mrs. Fortescue appeared serene
and detached as defense and
prosecution drew tight the lines
of battle in the dingy little tropi,
cal courtroom.
The men who must sit in judg,
ment on this finely-bred woman,
whose place is in the drawing,
rooms of the mainland, are OF all
hues and races-CaucasianS, Por-
tuguese, Hawaiians, japanese,
Chinese and men that mingle all
of these bloods in their veins.
Mrs. Fortescue has yet to speak
her mind since that day when
Kahahawai's body was taken
from her automobile.
During the proceedings she
never moves, keeping her eyes
fixed on the jurymen as they sNG
questioned. At recesSes she re-
mains in her chair, conversing
quietly with her sister and
brother and with Mrs. Darrow.
What role Mrs. ForteScue will
play in the defense evolved by
the clever Darrow remains to be

SPLIT DANUBE
CONFERENCE
Oppose British, French Ideas
for Economic Relief of
Small Powers

LONDON, April 7 (IN.S.).
A subcommittee of experts
met today to discuss the
method of approaching the
difficult prob e m s being
tackled by the four-power con-
ference on the Danubian states.
The committee was to report to
full session of the conference
this afternoon.
The committee of experts was
appointed after a definite break
in the parley occurred, Italy and
Germany lining up in opposition
to the plans advanced by France
and Great Britain for the eco
nomic relief of Austria. Czecho-
slavakia, Hungary, Rumania and
Jugoslavia.
The French plan, briefly, is
that the Danubian states lower
tariffs IL per cent among them
selves, abolish quotas upon each
others trade, and remove other
hindrance3 to a greater trade
among the Danubian states them
selves. Outside states are to be
asked to renounce privileges es-
tablished under favorite-nations
clauses.
loan Suggested
Two more provisions of the
plan, not discussed yesterday, are
that the four powers now in ses-
sion advance $40,000,000 to the
Danubian states to tide them
over present difficulties, and that
a conferenc of the Danubian
states be held later to accept
or reject the points decided upon
by England, France, Germany,
and Italy.
These proposals we're presented
by Prime Minister J. Ramsay
Macdonald himself. Finance
Minister Pierre Etienne-F -Flandin,
head of the French delegation,
merely nodded approval.
First objection was raised by
Foreign Minister Dino Grand, of
Italy, who declared the entire
method of procedure was wrong,
stating that the Danubian states
should meet along with the other
four powers, and that Bulgaria
should be added to. the group to
be aided.

Commodity Price
Trends of Week
BY H. II. McGILL.

OF the McGlll Commodity Service. Inc.
AUBURNDALE, Mass, June IL tEp.
Commodity prices were hammered down
to a new low point, not even one single
group recording a fractional advance
during the past week.
All commodities continued the frac-
tional downward movement which has
been of monotonous regularity for many
months. Out of IA individual groups
nine were lower and five remained the
same
Industrial prices were moderately
lower due largely to the decline in
fuels, ferrous metals, paint materials,
and vegetable oils. Important develop
ments during the week were not noted
in any material change in industrial
conditions nor in supply-to-demand
ratios, but rather in political events.
The budget has been balanced; a strict
economy program Is inevitable; the Re-
construction Finance Corporation will
be aided with additional funds, more
credit is being released, and industry
will be less susceptible to forced liqui-
dalton.
From a physical standpoint it is in
teresting to note that American busi-
under normal Commodity prices are
81 per cent less than decade ago.
While security values have declined IS
per cent from the inflationary period
of 1929. Economic laws are steadily
working and the absence of profit
margins has forcefully affected new
production.
Agricultural prices recorded more
weakness than any other groups. This
is due largely to the collapse of wheat
prices and other grains while the spot
price of cotton and sugar reached the
lowest level on record.
Ferrous metals also reached a new
low point in the price readjustment,
largely due to the further lowering of
the composite price of iron. Price
stability still features steel.
The nine groups that declined during
the past week were industrial, agri-
cultural, live stock, fuels, ferrous metals,
paint materials. fine and coarse tex
tiles, and vegetable oils. The five
which remain unchanged were build
ing materials, chemicals, hides and
leather, non-ferrous metals, and paper
and pulp.
Most important price changes in the

NEW YORK. June 1l.-Citins spe-
ciflcally . score Of huge corporations
which have been debating the book
values OF deprecated assets to figures
more closely in line with 1892 mar
ket values, the current Business Con-
diticns Weekly Of the Alexander Hamil-
ton Institute points out that this trend,
If continuing. will effect decided i'm
provement in the tone Of earnings
statements.
BY way Of example, the institute re
fers to a manufacturer of toilet acces-
series which has devalued its prop
erty account and intangibles from $36,-
Os8,552 to s21. 743,l9l BY this device,
it wiped off the profit and loss state
ment a depreciation charge of $87, sos,
an obsolescence charge of 5000, 900, and
an interest charge Of ss5.e2l. totaling
S773,229. In spite of $402 900 less op-
Grating income and $87 900 higher
taxes. balance Of 1922 .279 remained as
net income gain. Thus the company.
which passed dividends in February,
1881, was enabled to resume in March
this year.
Commenting on the tendency to
charge the abnorlnally large deprecia-
tiorS Of recent years in lump sums
against surplus, instead Of in dribbles
against current income. the institute
says:
The movement thus illustrated has
number of interesting manifestations.
For the time being 1t is a recognition Of
the pew era Of lowered values and an
adjustment to conditions of the day. Its
influence on reported profits of the fu-
ture Is, OF course, feature of the pro-
gram.
Changes Of this sort which make
profits and dividends appear where,
without them. the profits would be nom

and stakeholder under present condi-
tons. 1t is not impossible that fur
Their changes of the sort will be wit
messed and that further reversab of

decade will be witnessed An interest
ing question remains, however, for the
future Given a marked business re-

plished at one stroke are likely to un-

" Moderate Gains.
by VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, June 1.-THE bond
market took on steady tone in to-
days brief session and, in addition to
United States Government issues, a
number of corporate loans recorded
moderate recoveries.
Treasury bonds were especially active
and firm, some OF the longer maturities
advancing more than half point. The
Liberties while in fair demand, were
o4ly slightly higher
Dealers displayed considerable i'm
prQvement in sentiment. This was due
partly to the flrmness of stocks and to
reports that Congress would adjourn
next week without having made neces-
sary the issuance of any large amount
Of iong-term bonds.
Various railway loans that have re-

some Of their previous losses. Among
these were issues of Baltimore g. Ohio:
Canadian Pacific. Illinois Central. Mis-
souri, Pacific, New York Central, Frisco,
Southern Pacific, Southern Railway and
Union Pacific. Declines in other car
riers were generally small and number
were unchanged from yesterday.
Some of the American Telephones
were easy, as were bonds of American &
Foreign Power. Cincinnati Gas and
North American Higher prices were
recorded by loans of International Tele-
phone, Postal Telegraph Columbia Gas
and Pacific Gas.
:, French government bonds continued
soft. German SIPS and Is resumed
their recovery, both advancing around
a. point. Belgian loans eased, as did
those of Japan.

quickly advanced themselves to the higher
incomes
Similar positions are available in our local
