Traceski ordered rocess until Saturday morning at 10 o'clock. 'he defendants placed on the stand testified in their behalf that 3288 received from her was not in the form of a loan, but that she had éwed them the money and con- sented to pay it back when she carned it. On cross-examination by plaintiff’s attorney, Leonard 8. Ap- pell, Guiseppe Jerniciarl stated that he was of a philanthropical nature and when his sister-in-law was in ned of money, he gave her a $10 bill occasionally and helped her out in other wal He admitted that he ad a family of four to support, be- sides @ father to whom he was very considerate, he claimed. Attorney Appell began to question the man's alleged philanthropy and humani- tarian tn nd fired questions at the witness in rapid succession, un- til finally it leaked out that his fath- er is 89 years old and is in the old folks home, being taken care of by the city. Ameng other witnesses to testify for the defendants was Policeman William J.

Pressed by the| lawyer, he admitted that he visited | the place frequently and for period | ranging from five to twenty min- | utes. When questioned what were | the purposes of these visits, he an- | swered that he went in for refresh- ments, which consisted of bread and cakes. The lawyer then asked the officer whether it wasn't true as a matter of fact that he went in the bakery for other refreshments be- sides pastry, to which the officer re- plied that he did not. i In corrobration of the statement | of the plaintiff that she had loaned | the money to her relatives with the expectation of being paid back, B.

He said he predicated this upon his belief that there was general satistaction with the farm reliet ideas of the presi- dent-elect. « s Cabinet and other appointments were discussed with Mr. Hoover by Senator Reed of Pennsylvanja, who said he made no recommendations but did supply the president-elect with a list of Pennsylvanians now in public service and a list of those deemed available for service. The capacity of President-elect Hoover for high pressure work rare- Iy has been more clearly demonstat. ed than duing the period since his return from his good will tour of Latin America. With but a single break over last Sunday he has held conferences from carly morning until well into the night, receiving recommendations, advice and suggestions on an almost boundless range of political, govern- mental, legislative and diplomatic uestions. While the president-elect has as- sumed for the most part the role of listener there have been occaslons when he has had to express his own opinions and conclusions and even bring over some of those high in party councils to his own way of thinking, To a man of less robust physique, and less desire for all the facts, such a steady round of conferences prob- ably would ring both mental and physical fatigue, but {f the mext president has experienced either it has escaped the notice of even the closest of his associates. Conferences Go On The president-elect has decided to continue his conterences here during the remainder of this week, instead of leaving for Florida tomorrow as he had planned some days ago. This means that we will not be able to find the time to make the contemplated tour of the Weat Indles before his inauguration as he satill has his inaugural addregs to prepgre and there are more conferences late in February and early in March be- fore coming to final conclusions on some of the major appointments which must be announced by March | For today the president-elect had one of the largest engagement lists of any day since his return to Wash- ington. On it were the names of four senators, 14 membera of the house, one republican nationa! committee- man, W. G. 8kelly, of Oklahoma, and several other persons, including former Senator Joseph Frelinghuy- sen of New Jersey.

Augustino _Sandino, rebél leader, has proposed that the pro- | vince of Nueva Segova be separated trom Nicaragua and placed under hist control, ; President Jose Marla Moncada’¥ reply to the proposal was-to call it treason and to order the enlisgment of volunteers to combat 8andino and | his followers, whom he termed out- He added that the proposal was “limacy.” President Moncada and General Sandino were followers of Dr. Juan B. Sacasa, recently appointed Nicar- aguan minister to Washington, when Sacasa headed a liberal government at Puerto Cabezas. Moncada was commnder of the liberal armies and agreed to make peace with the con- servative Diax government, one of the terms being American supervis- fon of a presidential election, which Moncada won. General 8andino was the only liberal army leader who re- fused to lay down his arms and his 1evolutionary activities in northern Nicaragua resulted in many engage- ments with Amcrican marines during the fall and winter of 1927 and dur- ing 1928 in which marines were | killed.

Mayor Paonessa expressed a view that the committes to be appointed on assessment hearings should be composed of . private citisens and that it should be named by the board of finarice and taxation since that board is charged with the city's financial problems. Aldermanic Committoe Favored Judge Kirkham who, last night, was inclined to favor & committee other than the mayor and alderman, today expremsed a bellef that the latter group, being more experienced in affairs of government and al- ready Operating as a committes on abatements would probably handle the question more satistactorily. Alderman D. L. Nair earlier In the day had informed the mayor that he was of the same opinion as the corporation counsel and in ad- dition believes that the .report of this committee should be made to the common council where a check could be established. During the discussion, Mayor Pa- onesia asked Judge Kirkham if he did not agree that the comptrolier has been, in part, responsible for the condition that has arisen, but the corporation counsel replied that he did not share the mayoi's view in this respect. He quoted ° from the charter to show that a general supervision over-accounts and prac- tices of conducting business consti- tutes the duties of the comptroller. Tonight's meeting ‘is expected to adopt the charter amendment as proposed by Judge Kirkham after seitling the question as to how the committee is to - be appointed and who will constitute its membership. 80 Per Oent Doad Losg Attorney David L.‘Nair, chairman of tNe board of aldermen, “today ventured ‘an opinion that 80 per cent of the bills remaining on the books ‘of thé public works depart- ment would be“found to ‘be collect- ible. He bases.this prediction “-on the fact that approximately that amount represent : assessments -for operations performed in ‘he past two years, affecting properties which still stand in the-hame of the own- er of ‘record -at the time the jobs were completed.
