The State rested |ts case yesterday, the third day of the trial, Elmer Ring, counsel for the defense, said “Francis will take the stand and tell the jury just what he did on that day and night, and the day after, and the Strte will have full to question him. The boy is as (nno- cent of the murder of that poor little girl as I am, and he has nothing to fear by telling his story. Efforts to break the chain of clr t cumstantial evidence produced by the : prosecution were continued to-day by the defense. At the opening of court Parker was not ready to his Hecision on the objection to testi i *~ mony which Attorney King, counsel for Kluxen, attempted to adduce from } County Prosecutor Mills yesterday Prosecutor Mills conducted th for the State against Frank Jancarek, Soowho was acquitted of the murde= last April, and also conducted the exam- ination of Kluxen when he was ar- rested after the girl's body was found. The morning session of court was taken up largely with testimony of witnesses, by whom the defense sought to trace the movements of Kluxen on ®©°"the'day the girl disappeared and later em2 when her body was found in the woods.

The body was found shortly afterward, and he was questioned by Police Capt. Johnson, but he did not Appear guilty, and soon afterward went to bed, said his prayers, and slept soundly all night.

Agreement Reached by Clerks and Others in Conference Announced, ‘The terms of the agreement reachod yesterday between Vice President Crowley of the New York Central and that system's representatives of the freight handlers,, clerks and station William J. Winston and J. A. Robertson, were made public t. fay. The main points of the under- awtanding were: Vacation and a reasonable allow- ance of sick leave for all employees in that classification; contract system of freight handling to be abolished; workersa gree to abide by the wage reductions promulgated by the Laber Board This means that general office em- ployees will have vacations of two weeks each year and line clerks, In- cluding station, platform, pier and yard employees will have one week; sick leaves will be’ allowed as author- ized by the chiefs of departments af- ter consideraton of jhe workers’ rec- ords. Contractors have been paying 45 cents an hour in this area and 86 cents up-State to freight handler The La- bor Board's ‘reduced wage" scale is 4734 cents in the New York City dis- trict and 45 cents up-State. About 15,000 employees of the New York Central are affected by the agreement. It ts pelieved that all danger of these men joining forces with the Central's shopmen on strike has been averted. The conferences were continued to-day on other points of difference regarded as less vital Railroads with New York and Jer- sey City terminalis reported to-day that their train schedules were being maintained without unusual delays. Strike headquarters called attention to reports of pickets who listed the delays posted on the public bulletin board at the incoming platforms of the New York Central Station yesterday. These showed the first section of the Twentieth Century ar- riving half an hour late and the sec- ond .section fifty minutes late, with seven other through trains from half an hour to two hours late. E. M. Rine, General Manager of the Lackawanna system, said the sit- uation was “looking brighter every minute."’ The Irie Railroad asserted that the grumbling of local passengers greatly exaggerated the delays on that road yesterday, and that only eleven trains out of 300 moving in and out of the Pavonia Terminal yesterday were de- layed. FOUR ARE ACCUSED OF THEFT; TRADES REACHED $900,000 Charges for Which They Were Arrested Involve $17,000 Sugar Consignment. employees, Four men, trading as two concerns, were taken before District Attorney Ruston in Brooklyn to-day on a charge of grand larceny involving one of a series of operations which, ac- cording to Mr. Ruston, wi'!l involve a total of $200,000. These operations, he ‘sald, all took place within twenty- seven days. The charge under which they were arrested and under which they were to be arraigned in the Fifth Avenue Court involved a $17,000 consignment of sugar, purchased for export and secretly moved and shipped before payment, according to District At- torney Ruston. The menarrested were Stephen G Hallos, No. 35 Walton Avenue, New Brunswick, N. J.; Gerald Waltjen No. 205 West 87th Street, Manhat- tan; William E. Paine and William E. Paine jr., both living at No. 544 ‘West 152d Street, Manhattan, Hallos and Waltjen are President and Vice President, respectively, of the Cosmos Commercial Corporation and the Paines are President and Vice Presi- dent of the Imperial Shipping Com- pany. Aécording to John Diamon of the John Diamon Corporation, No. 87 Cortlandt Street, Manhattan, he re- ceived from the Cosmos Company an order for $17,000 worth of sugar, to be delivered to the pier of the Im- perial Shipping Company in Erie Basin. Delivery was made, and dock receipts issued for the sugar, which should have remained there subject to Diamon’s order until payment had been made, When ,Diamon went to the Cosmos Company to cash his dock receipts, however, he said, payment was de- layed, Becoming suspicious he re- turigd = to Imperial Company's pier and learned that the sugar had been taken to another pier and slwpped on vessels leaving for Peru and Constantinople.

This is one of the ways the McCumber tariff bill is going to benefit the consumer. In the light of the proposed tariff] facts in the case of 3% cents per pound on fresh beef, the statemenj of Mr. Joseph R. Davis of Buenos Ayres, Argentina, who came to N York yesterday, that tenderloin steak ig selling in all Ar- Kentine cities for 7 cents a pound re- tall is of interest to everybody. A whole live cow on the hoof sells for around $2 in the Argentine, and cattle are being killed for their hides Although Mr, Davis lives in South America he has heavy inte: in this country and is head of the bank- & ing house of Davis & No. 49 Wall Street. He expressed surprise that the cheap beef of South Ameri not brought to the United State reduce the high cost of living. Mr. Davis is of the opinion that the best cuts of South American t could be sold at retail in this city at 12 cents a pound at the present time with a profit to everybody concerned. Of course if we imported South American fresh beef the expanded market would make better prices for South American cattle, “Why,” Mr. Davis asked, “doesn't New York get South American beef?" The real reason is that the same corporations that are selling fresh beef wholesale in Buenos Ayres at less than 5 cents a pound American mone are selling fresh beef wholesale in New York at 28 cents per pound for loins, 21 cents a pound for ribs, 18 cents a pound for rounds and 11 cents for chuck, These are the Chicago pack- ers. They control the cattle industry in South America. They have immense packing plants down there. Far-see- ing men in the packing corporations saw the possibilities of South Amer- {can competition in the meat business years ago and they went to South America and bought up or otherwise appropriated the meat business and made competition impossible. If they bring meat from South America to the United States they sell it here at the current prices— not on the basis of a fair profit over the cost in South America. from South America as it ts to send {t from New York or from South America to Europe, The proposes McCumber tax on fresh beef is for|cago Opera Company, in case pay- the protection of the Chicago packers, who control the only source from which fresh beef could be imported.
