MONTROSS, Va., December 17.—An- other victory was scored by the de- fense in its efforts to clear Roger D. Eastlake of the charge of complicity in slaying his wife when Judge Joseph Wilson Chinn allowed identifi- Mentioned as the Next Director of the Budget cation of the much-advertised love |- letters from Miss Sarah E. Knox to Eastlake at the opening of the trial of the naval petty officer here today. Arguments between counsel over the admissibility of the epistles as evi- dence started as soon as A. R. Crow- thers of Ocean City, N. J., was re- called to the stand to identify the handwriting of Miss Knox, and con- tinued more than an hour. The defense used every means in its power through substituting for Crowthers, on the _stand, Lieut. Commander C. A. Bates of the Dahlgren naval proving grounds, who carmed the letters from that place to Commonweath's Attorney Watt T. Mayo after they were found in Eastlake's effects at the proving ground. Mr. Mayo continued his objections on the ground of the failure of the defense to prove that they were in possession of Eastlake. Judge Chinn finally permitted their identification by the witness, after Bates had read them and picked out the ones he re- membered having seen at the proving grounds. On the admissibility of the letters as to their relevancy in show- ing a motive by Miss Knox for com- mitting the murder. the court and counsel left the room for more than an hour. Student Is Witness. Reginald Eastlake, an Oberlin Col- lege student and cousin of the de- fendant, was later called to the stand. The young man, who said he was the son of Franklin W. Eastlake and that his mother was a Japanese, tes- tified to having been at Ocean City on September 15, when he was ap- proached by Miss Knox and asked by her if the Eastlakes had gone back to Virginia. He said that he told her that he thought they had. The wit- ness said further that he did not know the woman at the time, but thought her “actions queer.” On’ leaving the stand Judge Chinn then permitted J. H. Miller of Colo- nial Beach, a delayed witness for the prosecution, to testify. The witness said he had several conferences with Miss Knox when she occupied the house rent- ed by.Eastlake at Colonial Beach, and that on one occasion, when the nurse seemed greatly perturbed, he said that she told him she was having trouble with “her nephew.” Asked if she was not afraid that Mrs. Eastlake would cause her trouble if she caught her with her husband, the witness said that Miss Knox replied: “I always carry a gun and I expect I will have trouble sooner or later. She will probably catch me and then I will have to kill her or she will kil me.” Mrs. Eastlake, mother of tne de- fendant, was then called to the stand and testified to having been at Ocean City during the month of August when her son. his wife and children, visited her from August 6 to 18. The witness said that they appeared per- fectly happy and no mention what- ever was made of Miss Knox. Indications of Purpose. Evidence submitted by the prosecu- tion indicates Eastlake's purpose to prove that he was mot at his home at a certain time on the morning of the murder. This makes the testi- mony vesterday by Franklin Car- ruthers of Colonial Beach, appear very significant. “As I left my house,” sald Carruthers, “about 3:35 o'clock, I dis- tinctly heard'a sound as if some object had fallen. It came from the East- lake house. A child’s scream follow- ed shortly afterward. I stopped for a second, but then continued on my way to the boat” Asked by defense whether Eastlake was at the boat; the witness sald that he was. This evidence would tend to show that the accused could not have been home at the time of the murder. The following witness, his sister-in Jaw, Mrs. M. V. Carruthers, said, how- ever. that she heard the child seream on the morning of the murder, but qualified her testimony by saying that she heard it as early as 5:30 o'clock, “or perhaps a little earlier,” at the time her brother-in-law was eating his breakfast, and said that the noise was much clearer when he opened the door to leave for work. Talked With Eastiake. The witness further sald that she met Eastlake and her husband re- turning from the boat to the East- lake home after the officer had been told of his wife's death. “Did you speak to him?" asked Com- monwealth's Attorney Mayo. “Yes,” replied the witness. told him I had heard the screams, and he replied that he had heard them, too.” ~“Was that woman there? I asked Bastlake. At first he made no reply. But in a moment, he asked me, ‘I8 she at the house? " Not a_few handkerchlefs were drawn when Judge Chinn, after a pri- vate investigation of the Eastlake children at a nearby hotel, announo- ed to_the court that the little girl Margaret. fiva years old. was incom- petent to testify, but that the boy, oger, ir., nine years old, he thought was. “I might add,” satd Judge Chinn, that meither child has the ‘faintest idea that thelr mother is dead or that their father is on trial for his life. ‘The Iittle girl believes her| mother is in a Fredericksburg hos- pital and thinks her father is away on a trip. Following the closing of the state's case, the defense called witnesses tn rapid order, most of whom. aside from Mr. and Mrs. Crowthers of Ocean City, N. J.. who positively identified the bloody hatchet as the one Crowthers saarpened for Miss Xnox on September 7, were char- acter witnesses. Several medical ex- perts testified for the most part re- ®arding the lapse of time usually Récessary for rigor mortis ) lo wet fn. U. S. MAY CONTRACT FOR ZEPPELIN IN GERMAN €ouncil of Ambassadors Gives Priv- {lege of Constructing Blimp, L-70 Type, at Friedrichshafen. By the Associated Press. PARIS, December 17.—The council of ambassadors has granted permis- #ien to the United States te contract “for the conmstruction at Friedrichs- $afen, Germany, of a Zeppelin of the 3-70 type. This decision marks the énd of diplomatic negotiations which ;nvo proceeded between the allied jowers and the United States since July last. | The application for the construction f & Zeppelin grew out of the destruc- ion in Germany of five of the big dirigibles, one of which had bee; gllotted to the United States, during | the peace comnference. States based its application on the ground that it was entitled to another airship under Germany's reparations agreement. The council of ambas- padors yeferred the matter to the principal allied powers, and several Peteg arc gaid to have been ex- changed. ‘The council’s decision has been dis- yatched tg Washington, and should reach the State Department today. It is gald that constructiom of the new ¥Zeppelin may be started in January. F 3 ‘Who is being considered by President Harding as a successor to Gien. Charles G.

France alone, face to face, with grave difterences of opinion between them, in the near east, and in eastern and central Europe—differences which more than once have led them nearly to the freezing point of friendship. To Britain, France thinks it has made continual concessions, both economic and political, hoping thus to preserve the alliance, but with the result that Britain merel presses for more and more concessions offering little or nothing in return. Eritain continually attacks the size of the French army. but it will not give France a guarantee against unprovoked aggression. It wants the reparations figure to be reduced, but it is not will- ing to increase France's share in the reparations above 52 per cent. America also, as France sees it. looks askance at the French army, but will not prom- ise to help France if France is attacked through no fault of its own. America, also, wants the German reparations fig- ure reduced, but at the same time. it is ing, through Congress and through for the payment at “interest’ on the French debt 1.

But they are a proud, civilized, sovereign people, and their answer no, no, no, and & thousand times, no. They are ready to co-operate on an equal basis with any friendly powers, but take an in- ferior position, take orders—never! The first point in connection with the Washington conference which made the French suspicious was the effort to eliminate French as an of- ficial language. ‘They have been pretty much to one side ever since they came to Washington. They were not admitted to the four-power pact negotiations until the very last minute. They Were not admitted at all to the three-power ratlo negotia. tions: vet now an effort is being made, as they see ft, to fix their own navy at a low flgure dictated by the other three powers.

CLAIMS HER PAY WAS UNJUSTLY CUT Miss Bessie L. Yoder, High School Teacher, Sues for $449.33. A suit for pay was filed today in the municipal court of the District of Columbia by Miss Bessie L. Yoder, a teacher of English in the Business High School, The amount claimed is $449.33, the sum of the differences between the amounts paid her. since her promotion from teacher in the grades to teacher in the high school and the amounts to which she claims that she is entitled. Through Attorney Paul E. Lesh, she informs the court that prior te May 3, 1917, she was receiving a salary as teacher in the sixth grade, that she was on that date, after hav- ing qualified by examination, pro- moted to the pesition of teacher in the high sohool, and became entitled, under the orgunic act of June 20, 1906, to a salary at the rate of $1,100, She olaims, however) that the board of education, on the occmsion of her “promotion,” decreaped her salary to $1,000 per year, apd that each year since that date e has received $100 less than the statutory T i in a v ate. The suit is in the nature of = test case. A number of téachers are- said to have been promoted from _ the grades to the high schools and, to have been paid at a less rate -in \the high schools than they had receiped in the grades. and their claims Il depend upon the decision in this. ca.w The Chinese woman folks are vi radical—in some of their changes be- ing far ahead of their foreign sisters.

Jung, prominent physician of this city, and organizer and head of the American Red Cross Hospital in Munich, Germany, 8uring jthe world war, died last night at 10 o'clock, at his residence, 1868 Columbia road. Death was caused by heart disease, directly attributed to the strenuous work he perfornted in the interests of the American Red Cross. Dr. Jung was born in Thuringia, Germany, October 9, 1889. He was educated in Germany, attending the universities at Munich and Lelpzig, re- ceiving the degree of medical doctor at the last named. Following his grad- nation, he worked in the hospitals at Leipzig, Dresden and Berlin, fitting himself to be a stomach speclalist. In connection with this work he met Dr. Sofie A. Nordhoff, who left Ger- many in the late eighties and came to this country. Comes to U. S. in 1896. ring to further his profession in country, he left Germany in 11596, He married Dr. Nordhoff., who was then engaged in her profession in Baltimore. s were wedded in Oc- tober of ear, and soon after came to Washington, where their home has been ever since. Dr. Jung commenced his profession the same vear in this ecity, and was assisted by his wife, who also kept up her prac- tice. He and his wife opened their offices at 1229 Connecticut avenue, where they maintained also their residence. During Dr. Jung's practice patients came to him from all parts of the country, and among them were num- bered many Supreme Court justices, congressmen and foreign diplomats. Fach summer Dr. Jung and his wife Jjourneyed abroad, where they kept up Desl th DR. FRANZ A, R. JUNG. with the advancement of medicine. They would remaln abroad thres months and then return to this city. Fly the “Stars and Stripes.” It was under these circumstances that Dr. Jung and his wife found themselves in Munich when the world war began in August, 1914. They both remained and opened up a schoo. for Red Cross lectures. Mrs. Jung had been interested for many years previously in this work and had studied along . these lines before.

Dr. Jung, whose health (at no time strong) had been taxed grestly in work at the hospftal. foun new hardships to endure. He lost forty pounds in weight and-discover- od that during his experfences he had contracted heart disease. The war ended, Dr. Jung:and his wite went to Holland, where new trials awaited them. It was neces- sary to wait Bix months longer before passege to the United States could be obtained. Upon arriving home Dr. Jung's health was so badly depleted that he was unable to resume his practice. He and his wife sold their home on Connecticut avenue and took an apartment at 1868 Columbia road. For the past two years Dr. Jung's health continued to fail and after a trip to the seashore in Massachusetts last summer he returned home un- jmproved. Since that time up to his death he had been confined to his room, Member of Medieal Society.
