Carter. public printer. This is in line with Gerl. Dawes' previous statement that credit for economy suggestions would be given in their entirety to those who made them. Conference C@nmittee Personmel. - The conference committee will be composed of officials of the various de- partments and independent bureaus who have charge of printing. In addition Public Printer Carter will establish in his office a requisition review board which will examine all orders on the public printer for printing and binding with a view to determining before ex- pensive work is undertaken whether the job is authorized by law, whether it will occasion waste Or. unnecessar: duplica and whether any real; economy could be effected by adopting a more business-like method of handling the particular job in question. Questions to Be Conntdered. “Important questions raised by the requisitions review board,” said the public printer in the letter submitting his prioposal. “could be laid before the printing conference for its consider- ation as well as other matters of common concern, thus bringing about clear understanding and proper co- operation that is so essential to the successful operation of this office. which is peculiarly- the servant of all branches of the government. With the aid of such a conference in de- termining upon th style and material and the co-operat joint committee on printing with its power under existing law to ‘remedy any neglect, delay, duplication or waste. I firmly believe that the gov. ernment printing office can promptly set in operation much-needed but long-delayed reform in the public printing and binding.

S —— ARRANGE TO COVER SEWER IN WHICH BOYS DROWNED Soldiers’ Home Officials to Submit Plan to D. C. Authorities for Approval. Officials of the Soldiers’ Home have completed plans for covering the sewer in which twq boys were drown- ed Monday, it was announced today by Gen. Bliss, governor of the insti- tutfon. Gen. Bliss said the plans call for the placing of a grating near the mouth of the sewer.. The plans will be sub- mitted to the District sewer depart- ment some time today for approval, The governor of the home sald he has not estimgted yet what the cost of the work will be, but that the home stands ready to have the work done as 500n as the sewer department approves the design adopted. While the District sewer depart- ment has no jurisdiction over the sewers in the government reserva- tion at Soldiers’ Home, the plans for improving the sewers there are first submitted to the local authorities 'be- cause of the effect such improvements may have on the District system.

Given Time to Rest. Judge Bernon at 10:15 adjourned court until 1:15 this afternoon in or- der to give Mrs. Kaber a rest. She told him at that time that she was feeling fairly well and that she would return to the courtroom if he desired to resume the trial. It was not expected that she will testify until late today. After Mrs. Kaber was carried into the judge’s chambers, she called in- coherently for her daughter, Marian McArdle. It is not expected that she will be able to returrdto the court- room until this afternoon, when the trial can-be resumed. % The dramatic scene came when As- sistant County Prosecutor Cassidy, on cross-examination of her brother, asked him if he did not know that his mother, Mrs. Mary Brickel, had ad- mitted that she tried to burn the ber home. *No, she didn’t admit it,” he replied. Mrs. Kaber then began to scream. On direct examination Mg Brickel had testified that he belidved Mrs. Kaber to be insane. He said she would water at the mouth and her eyes would become glassy on dark days. Cried Continuously. Immediately on entering court this morning preparatory to testifying in her own behalf, Mrs. Kaber leaned her head on the table and cried almost continuously. She did not even raise her head to confer with her counsel. Two_physicians were called to attend Mrs. Kaber, one by her counsel and the } other by the state’s attorneys. She be- came quiet after the phy ns had ad- ministered to her. Mrs. Kaber had intended to take the witness stand in her own behalf this morning, according to her counsel, in an effort to nullify the state's charge that she planned the murder. Her testimony and that of alienists as to her mental condition whs expected to complete the defense's case. There was said to be a possibility that argu- ments would be commenced late in the day and that the case might be given to the jury Thursday. Mrs. Kaber is expected to testify concerning her husband's alleged “‘nasty babits” and admit that she hired per- sons to ‘beat up” Mr. Kaber in the hope that it would cure him of those al- leged habits. —_—_— FUNERAL OF MAJ.

By the Amsociated Press. d POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., July 13. Former employes of Mrs, Florence Leeds were expected to take the wit- ness stand today when the defense in the suit of James A. Stillman, for- mer banker, for divorce from his wife begins presentation of evidence. The first angle of the defense, it was said, would deal with Mr. Stillman's alleged relations with Mrs. Leeds. For the first time since the hear- ings started in December Mrs. Still- man will rot be present. Advices from Chicago said she was visiting friends there. Five witnesses were under sub- poena to appear today. One of these was said to_be Dr. James Ogilvie of New York, Who was present at the birth of Jay Ward Leeds in Septem- ber, 1918, .Sophie Bartkopf, who nursed the infant, was another wit- ness summoned by Mrs. Stillman, who accused her husband of being the father of the Leeds child. Two notary publics and a hand- writing expert also-were expected to take the stand. Their testimony, it said, would seek to show that Mr. Stillman posed as Franklyn H.

FURTHER LOANS ASSURED Credit Sonrces Kept Secret, But Move Was Wholly of Pri- vate Origin. By the Associated Press. BERLIN, July 13.—The Reichsbank announces that through the inter- mediary of the Amsterdam branch of the Mendelssohn banking house a credit' amounting to 150,000,000 gold marks has been granted the Reichs- bank arnd that negotiations are in progress with reference to further similar credits. The Reichsbank statement says these credit operations will so en- large- the measures being taken by the government that fulfiliment of the reparations demands faliing due August 31 may be considered assured. Further reparations payments in bills of exchange during the presemt year, therefore, will not be necessary, the statement adds. First Move of Kind. The present operation is reported here to be the first of a series of simi= lar undertakings which the German government, through the Reichsbank. is negotiating with private bank abroad. The government's action mee th the entire approval of the finan- cial experts in Berlin, who interpret it as proof of the imperial bank's con= tinued unimpaired credit abroad, as well as of the faith by foreigners in the economic future of Germany. The oflicial statement fails to reveal the identity of the Dutch_sources which advanced the first 150,000,000 marks, or the terms under which the credit 'was made. That the move was wholly of private origin is indicated in editorial comments on the loan, al- through the Reichsbank, by virtue of itg | functions as the governmental banker, jnaturally officiated as the governd ment's agent. The Mendelssohn Bank, through whose Amsterdam branch the present operation was negotiated, ranks as the wealthiest of German private banks. Outlook s Brighte: That the Reichsbank in the present instance should be able to realize on its credit abroad to the extent in- volved is cited here as effectually disproving rumors in circulation that it _would have to resort to a moras torium as the result of Gers many’'s_entangled financial situation since the revolution. Financial ex- perts predict a prompt improvement in the quotation of the German mark as a_result of the Dutch credit, and cite Tuesday's quick recovery of the mark on the bourse when the dollai ‘was quoted at eighty marks, bul later was listed officially at a trifie under seventy-seven. The plans of the Reichsbank for liquidating the foreign credits now being negotiated include accelerated purchases of gold and silver and & goneral movement to induce export- crs to issue invoices on the basis of foreign exchanges. thus enabling the bank to come into increased pose session of fopeign moneys with which reparation indemnities can be met.
