Two parts of Steinhardt's report
stood out-a direct accusation that
the Soviet government had not only
failed TO cooperate In his efforts to
obtain information about the City of
Flint, but had withheld informal
ton from him. He said he had ex-
pressed his indignation at this treat
ment to Assistant Commissar of
Of Foreign Affairs Potemkin.
The other was an implied doubt
Of the truth Of the German conten-
tion-which Russia accepted-that
the German prize crew had been
taken to the remote Arctic port be-
cause Of damage to machinery"
The City Of Flint was seized by the
German pocket battleship Deutsch-
land, in the North Atlantic which
put a prize crew aboard. She was
taken hundreds of miles to the neu-
trail port of Tromsoe. Norway, where
she remained but two hours, and
then 400 miles farther to Murmansk.
If her machinery was damaged, the
American question was, why wasn't
1t repaired in Tromsoe? If 1t was
damaged enough to prevent the prize
crew from attempting to run the
British blockade to q German port,
how could it be propelled through
the gathering Arctic ice fields into
Murmansk?
The first German explanation for
the long, out Of the way voyaging
into the Arctic was that the City of
Flint's lack Of navigating charts had
forced 1t. The second explanation,
was damaged machinery" which,
If true, would seem to justify the
prize crew taking her into a neu-
trail port.
Maritime experts doubted that the
City Of Flint's machinery had been
damaged by the sea or any other
'act Of God" They believed that if
1t had been damaged at all, It was
damaged by the German prize crew.
Her propulsion power Is provided by
q simple steam turbine engine and
she carries spare parts and a ma
chine shop. Her engineering officers
are sufficiently skilled to make re-
pairs at sea.

1T appears to me-" ne said @that
seven of the Democratic candidates
are lawyers. / don't think you can
find one lawyer on the Republican
ticket.
Haven't we had enough lawyers?
There were five In the corporation
counsel's office and their appropria-
tons were $4,000 besides about
$3.50, 900 spent for outside legal help.
None of the other cities In the state
have more than two or three
lawyers in the corporation coilnsel's
office"

Pledges Worthless
Mr.. Foster declared that Demo-
cratic campaign pledges were
worthless.
1--WE all know the disgrace the
Guilfoile administration gave the
city, after it had promised econ
omies," he said. 1.-THE Hayes adj
ministration came in, admitting
that the Guilfoile administration
had been wasteful but promising
an economical administration. Well,
you know what that amounted to.
Look at the tax rate, the bonded
debt. Everyone Of you should see
at least five of your friends and tell
them: This must not happen
again."
1--WE are going to reduce taxes"
he said. 1--WE have nothing to do
with next years budget as that is
being made up now, but we will
make such reductions next year
that there will be no question about
reducing the taxes the following
year."

It Is a quirk of fortune that has
Mr.. Phillips, who had been such an
important figure in Republican cir
Giles, should 60 on trial just as the
voters of his adopted city are elect
ing a mayor and other officials.
It was a year ago next month
that rumblings began to be heard
that all was not well in the McKes-
son & Robbins Co., one Of the great
est drug firms in the world. First
there were whispers, then the talk
grew, and finally there came a petit
ton in federal court that brought
the matter into the open. An in
vestigation was begun. 1t had just
started when F. Donald Coster, the
firms president, committed suicide
at his Fairfield mansion, after
learning that his true identity, as
the notorious swindler Philip Mu-
Sica, had been uncovered.
Federal investigators and state
agenciese renewed their probes with
redoubled vigor. The Republican
majority in the legislature at Hart
ford defeataed Democratic move
for special statae investigation
of the McKesson firms affairs, de-
claring that states attorneys were
able to- handle the situation.
The situation was quiet for a
while, after several vague indict-
ments had been returned. Then, in
March, the federal grand jury, a
day before its term ended, returned
indictments against Mr.. Phillips, the
three Musica brothers, and five
others. Several postponements OF
trial have been made since that
time.
Among the defendants appearing
with Mr.. Phillips in court will be
two other prominent Connecticut
business men, Horace Merwin
Bridgeport banker, and John H. Nc
Gloon, also of Bridgeport, a former
officer of the McKeseson firm.

Waterville, Oct. % - The reslgna-
ton of Rev. Raymond M. D. Adams,
rector of st. Paups Episcopal
church the past 10 years, will be-
come effective November l. At that
time he and Mrs. Adams will leave
! for Penney Farms. Florida. Accord
ingly, Mr.. Adams will conduct the
services tomorrow at the local
church, for the last time.
Mr.. Adams was born in Newbury-
port, Massachusetts, in the year
1875. and was ordained into the
ministry in 1900. He became rector
of st. Paul's Episcopal church,
March 1st, 1880, coming here from
Port Deposit, Maryland. Most OF
his ministry has been spent In
New England, and at one time he
had a parish at Stafford Springs.
He was one of the Cathedral Canons
at Easton, Maryland, however, be-
fore coming north.
Mr.. Adams said that his retire.
ment is not permanent, however, he
will rest during the coming winter
months, and possibly in the spring
will again take parish and con-
tinue his work. He much prefers
the south to live in, and will choose
that section in the future, although
he states that he will miss the hills
of New England, and his many
friends in this locality.
Mr.. and Mrs. Adams have spent
other winters in Florida, and they
are looking forward to returning
there at this time. Penney Farms Is
small incorporated town, of few
inhabitants, similar to many towns
of the south.

Pickup Is Expected
In Office Equipment
Sales Next Fall
STANDARD Statistics Says
Summer Lag Should
Be Only Seasonal
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, June 21-Office
equipment sales this summer should
decline no more than seasonally,
and a fair pickup is indicated for
the fall months, says Standard
Statistics Co. currently.
1t is unlikely, of course, that sales
will regain the levels of 1896 and
1887 until business recovery has
progressed much further, but sales of
most companies this year may be
10 per cert or so greater than in
1888. Earnings in 1899 may mod
erately exceed the 1885 level. For
the trade as whole net income is
likely to be IS per cent to 20 per
cent above last year. In the event
of any major European war, how
ever the Office appliance makers
would suffer important losses of ex-
port markets
Office equipment orders so far this
year have been consistently better
than in 1888, but it was not until
the second quarter that shipments
and earnings began to make favor
able comparisons with a year ago.
The improvement over a year ago
has been almost entirely of domestic
origin. Unsettled political condi-
tions in Europe, exchange restric-
tions and depreciation of foreign
currencies in terms of the dollar
have precluded gains in the i'm
portant export markets. In fact,
1t is encouraging that in the face
of such handicaps exports to date
this year have paralleIed last years.
The strong underlying demand for
American Office appliances, particu-
larly in South America, promises to
maintain exports around recent lev
els unless there is an outbreak of
hostllities. In the latter event, of
course, the trade would be hard hit.
At least IS per cent of total sales
is made in Europe proper, and,
equally important, the economic
repercussions of war would prob
ably unsettle demand for once ap-
pliances the world over. About one
third of total sales is for export.
