RICHMOND, Va, June 25.-Gov-
ernment attorneys conducting the
prosecution of Earl Conner Williams,
colored, on charges of numbering Miss
Fannie Kurz in Fredericksburg Battle
field Park two years ago, prepared to-
day to press for admission into ev-
dence of a third version of the crime.
different from two already admitted.
First entered in evidence was a con-
fession allegedly made by Williams
after his arrest in Iuka, Miss, in May,
1885, which was admitted over objec-
ton of defense.
A different version of the crime, In
which Williams was said to have i'm
plicated another colored man now
serving life term in the State PEN
itentiary, was attributed to him by a
prosecution witness.
The second confession, admisSability
of which was being argued, with the
jury excluded, when court adjourned
yesterday, was made by Williams, De-
partment Of Justice agents said. after
Williams was carried from Iuka to
Birmingham, Ala.
Williams 1uka statement, read into
the record after a defense motion TO
reject had been overruled and an ex-
ception noted, related that he arrived
in Fredericksburg on a freight train
from Cincinnati about 2 am. Sunday.
May 20, 1884.
After he hung around town" dur
ing the morning and afternoon, the
witnesses said he told them, he en-
tered the park about S pm. and LAY
around until about 9 pm. He then
approached a parked car containing
boy and a girl and ordered them to
get out and march up the hill"
Williams was quoted by the wit
nesses as saying he intended to at
tack the girl, but the boy pleaded with
him and, after he considered the girls
youth, he changed his mind ard took
about Sl.90 from the boy.
He then approached a second car,
he was quoted as saying, ordered the
couple there to get out and go some
distance from the car. The boy called
him Niger" he said, and in his
resentment he struck him with an
iron pipe he had picked up at rail-
road yard. He then tried to attack
the girl, the alleged confession con-
tinued, but she screamed and he
struck her a heavy blow on the head.
Williams then told them, the ofh-
GERS said, that he wrapped the pipe
in a newspaper and dropped it in what
he thought was a river. He made his
way to Baltimore, they said he told
them, sent his mother SIS of the s25
he had taken from the boy. and event"
ually made his way back to her at
st. Louis, Mo.
-Four Fredericksburg people testified
that williams was there on and after
the day the crime was committed.
Judge Way insisted on this "corrobora-
tive evidence" before he would admit
the alleged confession.

MONTREUX, Switzerland. June
25.-Foreign Commissar Maxim Lit
vinoff of Russia announced today the
Soviet Union wants freedom Of pas
sage through the Dardenelles for her
warships. to link Russia's naval bases
in various seas.
His announcement, expressed to the
International Dardanelles Conference,
was regarded as warning that Rus
sia, as a mighty nation. considers her
interests in Europe and Asia vital.
Litvinoff declared Russia had no
intentions of aggression and that she
desired to establish close communica-
ton among her naval bases merely for
visits Of courtesy and communication
"and for no other purpose
Transit Freedom Suggested.
He offered as proof of Russia's de-
sire for peace the fact he had sug-
gested freedom of transit through the
Dardanelles, which Turkey desires to
fortify, 'for warships of all powers
when this is necessary to afford as
sistance to victims of aggression or
for the fulfilment of the covenant of
the League of Nations"
The foreign commissar insisted
Russia merely was seeking to limit the
naval tonnage in the Black Sea of ma
tions which do not border on that
body Of water so there would be no
menace to the Black Sea states nor
necessity for an excessive increase of
their naval forces in the Black Sea. "
He said Russia, however, must OBJ
ject to attempts to limit the transit
through the Dardanelles of warships
Of Black Sea states.
The demand Of Black Sea coun-
tries for the greater security of their
shores" said Litvinoff, docs not in
jure the interests of other states, which
are given freedom of passage within
reasonable limits for all peaceful pur-
poses"
Japanese Protest Clause.
The japanese delegation demanded
the elimination Of the projected treaty
clause by which Turkey would notify
the League if she believed she were
menaced by war.
The Japanese said they wanted this
clause eliminated in order to prevent
Japan from becoming embroiled in
any Dardanelles dispute through the
relationship of the proposed conven-
ton with the League of Nations, from
which Japan resigned.
After hearing the japanese view,
the conference suspended its plenary
session until after the June 80 meet

1t undoubtedly will be the theme Of Mr.. Roose-

which the whole show is being directed.
Is it possible that at that time Mr.. Roosevelt
will have the audacity to quote from his inaugural
address? When he delivered it, he was looking
forward to 1885, confident that he could quote
himself and say, Behold what we have DONE"
He cannot at this date follow that strategy with
out being tripped up by facts. If he should say
that ten million men were out Of work and the
