A l3-year-old girl has confessed, Dis
trict Attorney Frank H. Coyne said
Friday, to the murder last Sunday of
her eight-year-old girl chum.
Mary Kavala, Coyne said, told him
after long questioning Thursday night
that she had killed Josephine Woro-
pay, hitting her on the head with q
rock and then strangling her.
II did It," the district attorney
quoted her as saying. Josie told lies
about me and about my family.
did 1t. I lost my temper"
Josephine's body was found on
Christmas Eve under the porch steps
Of st. Matthews Lyceum at Hastings
on Hudson. Police believed she had
been slain by a man and 1t was not
until early Thursday that they start
ed questioning Mary. Steadfastly she
denied the crime until late Thursday
night she broke down and admitted
she had killed Josephine.
They had gone for q walk Satur-
day afternoon, she told the authori-
ties. An argument arose over the
stories she said Josephine told about
her. In q fit Of temper she picked up
q rock and struck the girl on her
head, stunning her. From an old
mop she took several strands and tied
them tightly around Josephire'S neck
In Murderous Fury
Then she found an automobile in
nertube and twisted 1t around the
girls neck. Her angry passion still
flaring, Mary went to q nearby rub
bush pile, found bottle and smashed
1t on q rock. With a jagged piece of
the bottle she slashed Josephine's
face until she was exhausted. Then
she pulled the body under the porch
steps and went home.
The next day. she said In her con-
fession. she returned to the Lyceum
and stripped all the clothing from
the girls body. Fearful that 1t could
be seen, she dragged an old aban-
doned sled under the porch and
placed It over the body.
Mary was crying as she finished
her recital, but quickly regained her
calm and signed the confession.
Before she confessed, the girl had
insisted to police that the murder
had been committed by man who
had lured her and her boy and girl
friends into Wild orgies. After the
the police released Harry
Sulka, who had been held for ques-
tioning while the authorities were
quizzing Mary.
District Attorney Coyne said he was
convinced the girl had no accomplice.
He said he was undecided whether
to place q -charge Of murder in the
first degree against the. girl. Mean
while she was being held in the chill
dren's shelter here under technical

A,vaiting Effects Of Eght-Po"er Agreement
 With WatchfulEye on China

ed States, Canada, Australia and Peru-will offset the sales from the Indian treasury, since it agrees to restrict any sales that it may make to an annual average of 35,000,000 ounces during the next four years.
 However, the pact does not com penSate for another serious de- pressant to the price of the white metal, the slump in demand from China, normally the largest con- sumner.
 Cinese imports of silver, as es- timated by Hardy and Harman, New York bullion brokers, fell from 137,00O,0OO ounces in 1929 to about 400OO,OOO ounces in 1882. At the same time, Indian con- sumption of the metal dropped from 82,000,000 ounces in 1929 to 12,000,000 ounces in 1882. The slump in demand from the Far East was greater than the drop in world production, which amount ed to 261 100000 ounces in 1929 and 161 100000 ounces in 1882.
 Eastern Sales Unsettling
 Sales of metal from the Indian treasury during these years re- suited in an abnormal and artific- ial source of supply and has been widely regarded by experts as per- haps the most unsettling influence of all in driving this important monetary metal to the lowest price in history.
 However, it is said that remov- al of the pressure from the h. dian Treasury should be accom- panied by restoration of some thing like normal demand from the Far East to restore proper conditions in the silver market.
 Such demand, it is explained, should be restored by improve ment in the general world level of prices, such as seems to be under way.

LONDON, Aug. 24.-With a mix ture of hope and skepticism the world markets are awaiting the effects or the eight-power silver pact.
 The Lancashire cotton industry which comprises the best foreign customer of the growers of the American staple-is particularly hopeful that it's trade with China may be revived.
 Silver bullion brokers, however, say that it was too much to hope that any sudden bulge in silver prices would ensue.
 Danger in Extreme Rise
 In fact, should silver prices push up rapidly and in advance of the recovery of general world price levels some authorities warn that it might prompt exports of metal from the private hoards of China and thus defat the purpose of the pact.
 In any case the measure has yet to be ratified by the governments, which have until next April to act. Once ratified the five metal producing countries will start with drawing an annual 35000000 ounces from the market, which may well have a distinct effect upon the price level.
