The Justice called the Jury's attention to the failure of Clerihew to answer one of the District Attorney's questions. "I don't know whether any of you are Elka," he said, "hut use your own Judgment why lie declined to answer." V. Barbuti took the stand in his own behalf yesterday afternoon. He created some excitement when he yelled his answers to questions from District Attorney Charles It. Weeks.

He insisted on repeating the same story about the Freeport dinner which Merrln L. Dickerson characterized as a. lie, and for which Barbuti stood trial as a perjurer. Instead of saying that the third party to the dinner with Plant at the Klks Club, in Freeport. on Sept.

16. was Mervin Dickerson. Barbuti described him as mysterious personaee. He said that there was a third person along with him and until Dickerson denied that he was the third person, he, Burbut.i, thought it was he. "If says he was not there, then i am confused and it must have been someone who looked like him.

Dickerson, himself, told me that he was the third party at the dinner and 1 believed him." Clarence Williams testified that he hail known Dickerson, who came to Freeport on several occasions to fee him, and lie remembers that he did call there in the tall of IS 1 9 to see him about garbage removals in Lyn-hrook. He could not give dates. He said that Levy asked him to go to his otlice, where he saw Plant, Barbuti, Dickerson and another man. and that Dickerson spoke to him about the Freeport Court case and had asked him if he rememlered him (Dicker-son) haviag called on Williams. August Supman.

Clerihew of Montcluir, a member of Jersey City Lodge of Elks, who was the next witness, und who gave Ba'buti's case considerable sU-ength.

Clerihew said he had met Barbuti At the Jersey City Iouge and remembered him as Barbuti. He suid he was at the Freeport F.Iks Club on Sept. 16 for lunch, and that he met Barbuti there with two or three other men. und that, he recognized him and waved to him but did not speak to him. District Attorney Weeks asked Clerihew what Congressman John Mclvet-trlck, who is the exalted ruler of that lodge, had said to him in relation to Barbuti, and Clerihew replied that he could not answer that because of his oath and obligation as an Klk.

"Do you think th" Klks rule tlvs court?" asked the District Attorney, and Clerihew replied. "No." Herbert S.

Officials generally disapprove the proposal to use the funds as security for Government credits.

"As Senator you voted to have the United Stntes enter the existing League provided the Lodge amendments were made part of the act of ratification. "As Presidential candidate vou left the country and even your own followers in doubt as to your attitude.

Thirty-one pre-eminent Republicans unions whom were your Secretary ot r-tate, Mr. Hughes, and your Secretary of Commerce, Mr. Hoover assured their fellow countrymen that you would go into the existing League. Senators Borah and Johnson and the ether 'irreconcilables' ussured them you would not. "As President-elect you did not see fit to disclose your attitude on the League beyond what you had said during the campaign.

I respectfully ask. for you to do this? "Surely, you cannot expect the 48 rnenibefs of the present league to Bcrp it and come into your association unless two things are perfectly Clear: "First, that the new association is substantially as good as or better than the existing league, and that this time a proposal of e. President of the United States will have the permanent and overwhelming support of the American people. "You are a statesman of sufficient experience to know that our people will not support your association no matter how excellent without the fullest discussion. Events of the' last two years have demonstrated this.

You cannot, therefore, hope to get public, opinion behind your association without taking your countrymen into yotir confidence."

The primary uuesllon al Wiesbaden of interest to all the world was reconstruction and reparations in raw materials. France has no objection in principle to reparations In kind, as I already have explained before the New York Chamber of Commerce, but we must always read between the lines.

Suppose, for example, that rcparat ions in raw materials take the shape of a house. Sixty percent of Ihe cost Is limned in material and 40 percent in manual labor In what concerns raw materials we consider that French Industry ourIiI not to be Jealous of natural to deal with Flench rej-ions nnd should not stand in the wi.y of German shipments. It is evident that French Industry has the rlirht which it already lias used to work ill the devaslaled ri-Kions. But It must not be In pno-lized by those nuions because it also lias France tlrst und then tin- remainder of the world as its tl'dd of activity. We must know what lb it Ratln-nau means when be speaks of reparations in kind.

June 16 The German press takes little interest in the news of adoption of the Porter resolution and prints Washington dispatches with the explanation that peace Is not yet assured owing to the differences between the House and Senute resolutions, but otherwise they attach practically no comment to the news. It is generally assumed that President Harding's influence will suffice to produce an agreement in conference, particularly when Backed, as the Vossische Zeitung asserts, by strong pressure from the American business world to end the technical state of war. The German public Is too ignot tint and disinterjsted in the details to speculate upon the lines which the future peace settlement probably will take in the conference committee or whether the committee and the President ultimately will agree upon the adoption of a modified Versailles i I Ih.Ik.
