A6 & FRAME-UP DENIED AT MOSCOW TRIAL Eight Confessed Plotters Say Théy Tell of Anti-Soviet Aims Voluntarily. By the Associated Press. MOSCOW, December 1.—Eight Soviet enginéers, who are facing execution for having plotted the “overthrow of ‘the ! Moscow government, insist that their | trial # not a frame-up. Answering an article in a Warsaw newspaper, which said that their con- from them through coercive means by the sécret police, the eight testified yes- terday that they had been treated as gentlemen by the government agents and had gained in ‘health while in prison. i Charge Read in Court. ! N. B. Krilenko, the Moscow public prosecutor, first read the newspaper article aloud to: the: court room and then asked each of the defendants if it were true that their confessions camc after & third degree and that the entire case was a frame-up. i One by one the prisoners took the | stand and declared that' the story was | “gll les,” and reiterating that their | confession had been made of their own free will, without promises or threats. | Alexander Fedotov, 67-year-old de- | fendant, said: “It's a most absurd story. T've never been treated so well and| never have felt so well as sirice I have | . I am old and have not | been in much to live for, o I would be the first | g, to denounce the Ogpu (secret police) if any compulsory methods were used I this case.” Trial Continues Sunday. ‘The trial proceeded yesterday as any other day, the Soviet calendar making no_recognition of the Sabbath. ‘The name of Raymond Poincare once more entered the trial despite court orders that testimony regarding states- men of “friendly foreign countries” was to be heard in camera.

Neither in the agitated state of the public mind should the fact that this is an ‘oil case’ entitle it to any particular sanctity in the eyes of the law or furnish adequate ground for the wholesale slaughter of The opinfon was rendered in the case of Roy G. Barton, who had filed an ap- plication at Las Cruces, N. Mex., and who was representad by Attorney James Conlan and Attorney Lewis E. Hoffman, ment of the Interior. Four other cases involving the same subject-matter are affected by the court’s opinion. These cases attracted such interest States of Wyoming, New Mexico and | Colorado obtained consent of the court and filed briefs as “friends of the| court” in opposition to the action of Secretary Wilbur. . May Go to Supreme Court. The District of Columbia Supreme Court, in opinions by Justice Frederick L. Siddons and Justice Jznnings B-iley, held the Secretary had exceeded his authority by the order of suspension, and directed writs of mandamus re- quiring the reinstatemsnt of the appli- cants for permits. The Unit:d States e Court will probably be called on to review today's decision. The question to be decided, says the majority opinicn of Justice Robb, are whether the orders of the Secretary amounted to a temporary withdrawal of the public land from location, entry and exploration for the purpose of dis- covering ofl or gas and assuming the withdrawal did the inere filing of an application for a prospecting permit initiate a right in the applicant that could not be affected by the with- the President’s right to make with- drawals and the right of the Executive to cpeak through the heads of the several departments and reaches the conclusion that the orders of Secretary Wilbur gave effect to the previously announced policy of the President, were acquiesced in by him and were in legal contemplation the acts of the Presi- dent. 1920 Law Cited. As to the right of the applicant, Jus- tice Robb points out that under the general mining laws a citizen was free to go upon the public domain. He did the work necessary to discover min- erals, staked Lis claim, recorded notice in the mining district or county rec- ords and his rights became fixed. This was true as to public lands con- taining oil and gas until the act of Feb- ruary 25, 1920, under which he no| longer had the right to go upon public lands to prospect for oil or gas unless permitted to do so by the Secretary of the Interior. Under the new law he must apply for the privilege and until interest. “It is apparent,” says Justice Robb, “that Congress recognized that the mere filing of an application for a permit confers no vested rights upon the ap- plicant, but that if a permit be issued | and he goes on the land and makes a | discovery he has such an interest, as must be re .

LONDON (N.AN.A.).—Another bril- liant function of the little s:ason was the jewels of Empire ball, which took place at the Tark Lane Hot>] Wednes- day. Its chief feature was a pageant of living jewels, in which 60 ol the most beautiful women in society took part. ‘They not only wore the jewels they were impersonating, but their dresses, mad: rich velvst, were in the beautiful col- ors of ruby, amethyst, turquoise, and so on, to tone with the jewels.

Evelyn Laye is now playing lead in this musical comedy. Noel Coward on Duty. Ivy St. Helier, who takes the part of the caf: singer, was just beginning her principal song in the Vienna scene at & matinee the other day when she noticed among the crowd on the stage a tooth- less old man in a battered tall ha.. H: began following her about, and then she realized that it was Noel Coward. This was his way of seeing that the company was keeping up to scratch. Mr. Coward has always had a rather | Puckish sense of humor. When he was a very small boy, he appeared in a mu- sical plece in which Ruth Vincent played lead. One day he whispered to the little boy and girl with whom he had to hold hands in th> final tableau, “Let us take a bow as well.” Which they did in all solemnity, though all the kudos it brought them was a reprimand from the irate siege manager.

S, Tardieu Proposal for Work- ing Agreement Arouses Wide Interest. By the Assoclated Press. PARIS, December 1.—Premier Tar- dicu's call for a real working, financial and economic agreement between France and the United States, made in a Thanksglving day address before the | American Club, has aroused nation-wide interest. It is observed that while Prench statesmen of other days have sought ententes with Great Britain or Russia, as circumstances suggested, Premier Tardieu appears to have thrown his force, particularly in working out what might be called a non-political agree- ment, with the American Republic. Friends of Tardieu pictured him as | not having any great interest at pres- ent in disarmament agreements because he deems that France and the United States have before them the more press- ing problem of international economic ills and the necessity of Lutting on thefr feet nations which are being crushed by disturbances, economic laws and by over- production of raw materials. ‘Tardieu welcomes the exercise of American political influence in Europe because he is convinced it is disinter- estedly beneficlal.
