NOLAN CASE DUE
| FOR Jury TODAY
Defense Attorneys Begin
Arguments After Five
Weeks of Trial.

The five-week trial Of William j.
Nolan. head OF the bankrupt Nolan
Motor Co., will 60 to the jury some
time this afternoon, attorneys pre-
dicted this morning.
Nolan and his former associate,
Benjamin D. Jenkins. are charged with
false pretenSeS In 16 counts and with
conspiracy to commit false pretenses.
They are alleged to have discounted
some $4,000 worth of conditional
sales contracts with both the Munsey
Trust Co. and the Universal Credit
Co., defrauding the latter concern.
Nolan's defense is that the transaction
was refinancing deal.
The Governments opening argument
to the jury was presented late yester,
day by Assistant United States At
torney John J. Wilson and Defense
Attorney David j. Bress addressed the
jury this morning. He was to be
followed by Attorney James r. Kirk
land. who represents Jenkins. Mr..
Bress is Nolan's attorney.
More than 1000 documents have
been presented in evidence during
the lengthy trial.
Principal interest in the otherwise
dull proceedings has centered in Mr..
Wilson's contention that an important
letter, relied on by the defense to
show that Nolan made no false repre-
sentations to Universal Credit, is spur
ious. Extensive technical testimony
was given by both prosecution and
defense concerning the authenticity
of the document.
Justice Joseph w. Cox is presiding.

FIRE IN BALTIMORE
PER|LS HOSPITAL
10 Patients in Building Next
to Blazing Store in
Danger for Time.

BALTIMORE, Feb ia four
alarm fire which swept two floors of
large furniture store in the 1000
block of East Baltimore street today
caused nurses and doctors at the
Presbyterian Eye, Ear and Throat
Hospital, next door, to prepare to
evacuate 10 patients, most of them
children.
Firemen reported the blaze ragged
undetected in the store until an &C
cunulation of gases shattered display
windows. Dense smoke spread through
. neighboring store, forcing II en-
ployes and the owner, Abe Finkel-
stein, to leave.
Ladders were raised to upper WIN
dows of the hospital as precau-
tionary measure, but all the patients
were brought to the first floor without
difficulty. None was seriously i'll.
Traffic was blocked by "a pieces of
fire apparatus and hose lines
A crowd of about 5000 gathered to
watch the fire, which was confined to
the first two floors of the furniture
building.

some should go up, to arrive at a
proper balance in the price structure.
The rise, he said should be mod
erate-not like the unhealthy rise OF
prices year ago. There should. ne
said. be an increase in prices of most
of the raw materials.
Speaking of the effort to fix prices
of bituminous coal through govern
mental agency, under the Guffey Act,
Mr.. Roosevelt commented that the
price of coal at the mine had not been
high because of great competition,
and it had been impossible under the
lower prices to pay adequate wages to
the coal miners Cut throat prices"
were to blame, he said
Farm prices today are too low, the
President insisted. This he hoped to
remedy through the new crop-control
bill.
The Chief Executive pointed that il
conditions of domestic trade could be
improved by better price structure,
foreign trade would improve. too. For
better conditions in this country would
improve world conditions to trade.

location was ma ior cause of the pres
ent business recession. He said that
in looking back he felt now he should
have issued his warning regarding
a too rapid rise in prices-made last
April-at an earlier date.
Some prices today are too high, Mr..
Roosevelt said, just as some are too
low. What the administration is seek
ing. he added, was balanced rela-
tionship between prices of all kinds of
commodities. This. he said, would
result in great employment and more
prosperous conditions.
In order to help improve conditions,
the President said. every effort would
be made to maintain easy credit con-
ditions. The Treasury Department
and the Federal Reserve Board are CO.
operating toward that end.
Taking up the question of labor
and labor costs. Mr.. Roosevelt in
sisted that increased volume of pro-
duction was the answer, rather than
lower wages to labor To support
this contention. the President said in
dustrial labor's earnings were q per
cent higher per hour in 1886 than in
1882, but that labor costs were only 6
per cent higher per unit of produce
ton, due to increases in the efficiency
of labor
Cost Of Production.
The shrinking volume of output,
despite the fact there had been in
creases in the wages of labor in the
last five months, has forced up the
unit cost of production
Did wages Fise too fast in 1882"
the President asked himself He re-
piled that from October. 1896, to July.
1887. there was an average increase in
the hourly wage from 81 cents to IS
cents. This was. he commented.
| sudden wage increase. The difficulty
was that a number Of industries which
could have afforded to increase wages
in view of the better business condi-
tions-falled to do so in 1895 and 1896.
The President said it was not
healthy for industry to have postponed
so long giving increases in wages. It
had been compelled to absorb a large
lump of increased COSTS in the i'm
mediate wage increases He pointed
out that there is demand for "fiex-
ibility' of wages during the down
swing Of industry and business activ-
ity. There should he said be flex-
ibility of wages when the upswing be-
gins. Too often industry withholds
wage increases until the peak of a
boom is reached, delaying these in
creases until the last possible moment.
These increases then become difficult
to maintain. He said that if the wage
increases had not been so long delayed,
when the country was coming out of
the depression, the recession might
have been avoided.
Four Charts Shown.
The President presented. in addi-
ton to the statement of his advisers,
four charts, showing the connection
between prices and employment, and
the divergence of prices in building
materials and other commodities, and
the courses prices had followed from
1929 through 1887. Steel prices, for
example. were shown to be far higher
today and also plaster. These were
wholesale prices. While the prices of
cement had remained fairly level.
The sum and substance of the
Presidents recommendations were that
some prices should come down and

SUFFRAGE BACKED
BY BUSINESS MEN.
Federation Votes to Take
Part in City-Wide Con-
ference March 18.

The Federation OF Business Mems
Associations last night reiterated its
demand for national representation in
both branches of Congress for the Dis
trict Of Columbia. and made plans to
attend the city-wide conference on
suffrage March 18 at the District
Building.
After hearing a talk by Charles A.
Franklin, representing the District
Suffrage Association, which Is spon-
soring the forthcoming meeting. the
federation voted to instruct it's dele
gates to favor a constitutional amend
ment calling for national representa-
ton for the District.
John Paul Jones urged that q
concerted lobby" be made on the de-
mand for representation. He said
failure Of Congress to heed previous
requests Of District citizens was an
other instance in which the wishes Of
the people have been disregarded."
The federation also reafnrmed its
stand in favor Of a sales tax instead of
the business privilege tax. The group
would exempt foods and medicine from
the sales tax.
j. Nelson Anderson, general counsel
and chairman Of the Law and Legisla-
ton Committee Of the federation, re-
ported he had informed the Fiscal AZ
fairs Subcommittee Of the House Dis
trict Committee and the Senate Dis
trict Subcommittee on Appropriations
Of the federation's stand in regard to
tax matters and the amount of the
Federal payment toward municipal ex-
penses. In letter to the congression-
al committees he said:
The federation feels that the
amount of the Federal payment to the
District for the fiscal year 1899 should
be at least for the difference between
the amount Of the budget estimate and
the estimated normal income Of the
government Of the District. It has
taken action which strongly urges
Congress to discontinue the business
privilege tax and to restore the $3.50
rate on real estate and tangible per-
sonal property"
