Both young men were before the court yesterday but ou request of the police department were held over un- til this morning.

She testified in court this morning that two diamond rings. one diamond lavellier, two $10 bills, one watch and a pin, totalling in value about $300 were taken from her home on May 23. Crosslye, who lived upstairs with his wife was accused of stealing the valuatles, and giving them to Frit: to sell. Mrs. Terry said both Crosslye and his wife had been frequent visit- ors to her home and had| seen the jewels on numerous; occasions. Fritz took the stand and, although advised by the court that he was not required to say anything, volunteered a statement in his own defense. said three unset diamonds were given him by Crosslye who told him first that he had found them in an envel- ope on East street and later told him they were stolen. He wen* to Hart- ford to try to sell them and was ar- rested. He said Crosslye told him he had stolen them downstairs in his mothers’ house. Both men were held under $200 bond. Fritz, who is only 18 years old, was to leave Newport with his com- pany on a new boat bound for Eng- land as soon as his leave expires next Wednesday.

Minatsigian charged with DEFAULTING CLERK IN JAIL FOR DAY Judge, Taking Facts Into Considera- tion, Imposes Light Sentence on Offender New York, Aug. 11.—Judge William B. Sheppard of the United States Dis- trict court, who om two previous occa- sions this week has imposed sentences of one day on defaulting bank clerks, imposed another one day sentence yes- terday on John J. Callahan, formerly a clerk in the Importers and Tradets National bank. ‘When arraigned to plead to an indict- 1 ment which recited irregularities run- ning through more than two years and totalling $15,650, Callahan admitted his guilt and Maxwell S. Mattack, assistant United States attorney, explained the circumstances to the court. Callahan, he said, made his first error of morale and judgment when he took $200 of the bank's money to pay a pressing personal debt. Before taking the money he had tried to pay his debts by borrowing from loan sharks, and later, while still heavily in debt to them and to the bank, he had endeavored to win back his losses by stock speculation and betting it at race tracks. Judge Sheppard, after hearing all the facts, said that he considered the case called for leniency because Callahan had never intended to rob the bank but had erred through weakness and be- cause he had becothe immersed in debt while trying to live on a small salary. p sentenced him to spend one day in e custody of a United States marshal d to pay a fine of’$500, Callahan’s id -bis fine, SAVED SIGHT OF HUNDREDS Dr. May T.

Crane, forme: U S. minister. to China, arrived here last night from Reval, after completing a 7,000 mile journey from Peking, which took him across Siberia and soviet Russia. Mr. Crane, who was accompanied by four Americans and a Chinese cook refused to discuss the Russian situation until he had an op- portunity ‘to confer with Captain Evan . Young, representative of the tion. Those who accompanied Crane on his journey rrom the Donald Brodie, Mr. Crahe’s secretary; Morgan Palmer of Plattsburg, N. Y., long in the service of the Chinese rail- ways; Paul M. Duko, formerly in the United States consular service at Har- bin and Li Shi-Ching, a smiling Chin- ese. Tells Story of Trip. Mr. Crane told the story of his trip to a crowd of American reporters waiting at the station to greet him. The party left the Chinese capital on June 16 and from that time until August 6, when it lert Petrograd for Reval, it traveled under a special per- mit from Nikolia Lenine, Bolshevik premier. The Americans had an op- portunity fully to observe the comedy and tragedy of the everyday life of the Russian people, =nd were given a greater chance to inspect conditions than has been granted any Americans since the outbreak of “the Russian revolution in 1917. 3 Mr. Crane filled a car with pack- ages of pins, needles,- tooth brushes, | soap_and - other merchandise, which || he planned to use in payving his way inlieu of money. " His stock, however, dwindled to a few cases at Chita, the capital of the Far Eastern republic. Mr. Crane believed he would not be allowed to: proceed through Siberia and gave most of his supplies away. He had in fact, tur~-ed back toward Peking but was overtaken on his re- turn journey by a message giving him permission to cross Siberia and Rus- sia. & Leave For Moscow. The Americans once more turned their faces to the northwestward, and left Chita for Moscow on July 2, ar- 'riving at their destination on July 27. They stopped” at Irktusk, Novo Nik- olaivsk, Ekaterinburz and other prominent towns in Siberia. During the journey, Mr., Crane spent about 100,000,000 scoviet rubles or about $3.000, besides giving awav the remainder of his stock of small merchandise. Many Wounded Men. As the train would halt here and there along the Trans-Siberian rail- way, the Americans would get out of their special sleeping car to pl baseball or swim in nearby streams Before their train had left the Far Eastern republic, it --as attached to a hospital train carrying soldiers who had been wounded in fighting against the force commanded by Gen. Baron Michael Ungern-Sternberg. leader of anti-Bolshevik troops there. The wounded men declared that the anti- Bolsheviki had been badly beaten. When the train reached Moscow, the Americans did not leave their car for a 'hotel and during the eight days they stayed at tha swviet capital had no trouble in getting good focd. Two days were spent in Petrograd by Mr. Crane and his compxnions. Mr. Crane is the guest of Ernest C. C. Wilton, the British minister to Tet- via, during his sojourn here. They are old friends having been formerly colleagues at Peking. Later Mr. Crane will go to Berlin. and thence to Prague. where he will visit his son Richard Crane, American minister to Czecho-Slovakia. SOLDIERS TO BUY CLOTHING. Receive Cash Allowance and Make Their Own Purchases, Washington, Aug. 11.——The war department announced today that sol- diers of the United States army will receive a money clothing allowance, instead of being issued clothing “in kind,” as at present. General Persh- ing, chief of staff, has approved this change on the ground of greater eco- nomy and improvement in morals. For the soldier to receive a money allowance, it is argued, is to en- couragd thrift on hia part, and to inculcate a personal interest in tha care of his clothing. It ia believed this will tend to make the army bet- ter dressed at smaller cost to the gov- ernment. The change is authorized by law, and will go into effect Oct. 1. Officers as at present, will te required to fur- nish their own uniforms. Will After shaving with Cuticura Soap, the Cuticura way, gently rub tender spots on face with Cuticura Oint- ment.

HARDING IS BEING CRITICIZED MUCH This is Forticth Day Since Peace Resolution Was Passed, But He is Silent, ‘Washington, Aug. 11.—This is the icrtieth day since President Harding signed the Congressional resolution ‘cr peace with Germany, yet not only has he not issued a proclamation de- slaring the war at an end, but there s no prospect that it will be issued within the immediate future. Negoti- ion of some treaty between th2 United States and Germany has been n progress in Berlin for several weeks without ay disclosure as to the exact nature of th eexchanges. This situation brought a flurry of debate in the Senate yvesterday aftec- noon, with the entirely negative re- ult that those who souszht informa Uon as o the status of our relations wih Germany failed to obtain any. The impression was created that Ad- nistration senators had not been taken into the confidence of the Ad- ministration. Senator Lodge, the Re- puilica floor leader, and chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations, was chided with having criticized Woodrow Wilson for failing to fur- ‘sh advance information to the Sen- ate about the Versailles Treaty, while aow, he, himself, under a Republi- can Administration was unable to give the Senate any informatiog about treaty negotiations at Berlin'¥' Mr. Lodge contended that he had rot criticized President Wilson for failing to make advance disclosures but for withholding illuminating in- formation about it after the Ver- -ailles Treaty was signed.
