the execution of reforms In Macedonia, Russia
also demands the concession of the Black Sen.

Fans, Aug. 21.— Official advices say the Rus

ish waters within the next few days, as the
Turkish Government has given adequate assur
ances that It will meet all the Russian demands.
The withdrawal of the warships will be due
chiefly to Turkey's assurances, but also to Rus

to be antagonistic to Bulgaria.

JOINT ACTION NOT CERTAIN.
Powers May Not Send Warships— Turkey
/ Would Protest.
London. Aug. 21.— The Turkish Ambassador
called at the Foreign Office this afternoon to
make Inquiries regarding the report that it was
the intention of the powers to make a Joint
naval demonstration in Turkish waters and to
enter a protest if anything of the kind was
contemplated. The Foreign Office officials made
it clear to him that Great Britain has taken no
action of this character, and It appears as If
Italy will also refrain from carrying out her
decision to dispatch warships to Turkey, as the
Italian Embassy pays no report of their de
parture has yet been received. This is taken
by the embassy to indicate that tticre have been
developments making the step inadvisable or
unnecessary at the present moment, due- possibly
to the Turkish acceptance of the Russian de
mands, which was confirmed at th* Turkish
Embassy. •
The negotiations respecting Macedonia are
conducted on the Continent, the Foreign Secre
tary, Lord Lansdowne, and most of the am
bassadors being away from London.
The Turkish Ambassador will leave London
to-morrow for the country, where he will re
main for some days.
The diplomats point out that the scheme for
a Fettlement of the Macedonian question outlined
by the "Independence Beige" yesterday could
not be approved by the powers, as it is evident
Turkey would never submit to a peaceful oc
cupation of the Bosporus and the Dardanelles.
A Turkish official eaid this could only be done
after fight, ng.

HUMBERT TRIAL NEAR END.
Maitre Labori Closes His Defence Gover
nment Officials Attacked.
Paris, Aug. 21.— Public interest in the Hum
bert trial is growing greater as it nears its close,
and the crowd at the Palace of Justice was
much larger to-day. Among those who had re
served places near th«» judges was Senora Cas
tro, wife of the President of Venezuela, who
was accompanied by the Venezuelan Minister.
Maitre Labor! continued his address for th» de
fence, urging that the larger creditors had acted
through attorneys, who should be held responsi
ble, while the small creditors would have been
paid if the Rente Viagere had not been wrecked
through the premature prosecution of th* Hum
berts.
Malt re Labori caused a considerable sensation
by a bitter denunciation of M. Cattaui, the
money lender, for prosecuting: the Humberts,
and, mentioning M. Waldeck-Rousseau's and M.
Tally's part in the prosecution, he declared the
political parties' leaders had become degenerate.
M. Valle", ho pointed out, first acted as attorney
against the Humberts and afterward became
Minister of Justice, supervising their prosecu
tion. M. Cattaui, he asserted, belonged to that
class which Is bringing dishonor on France and
peeking to gain all through the use of money,
thus corrupting the public administration.
The charges of Matt re Labori, although avoid
ing specific accusations, reflected severely on
the chief persons in the system of the adminis
tration of Justice. He reasserted the existence
of the Crawfords, and maintained that the pros
ecution had failed to establish that they and the
millions did not exist.
Advocate Clunet followed in defence of Emlle
Daurißnac, and the trial was adjourned until
to-morrow.
GERMAN SOCIALISTS DIVIDED.
Unable to Agree on Acceptance of a Vice-
Presidency in the Reichstag.
Berlin. Aug. 21. — The Socialists are entitled to
have appointed l'rom their party one of the three
Yh-r-Prchioents of the Reichstag, on account of
their Increased representation, and the other parties
appear willing to concede this. The Socialist
leaders, however, differ as to whether they ought
to accept the office, because it would limit their
complete freedom of obstruction and opposition.
Herr B^lK-i tak^s this view, but Hen Bernstein
favors acceptance. The Socialists of Munich re-
J«cted the iiie.j >i> a majority of eighteen yesterday,
while Stuttgait voted for it.

witness to answer yes or no, and he answered
"No."
"Do you know a man named James Taylor?"
asked Mr. Hand.
"No. sir."
"Don't you know James Taylor? He works in
a mill?"
"Ye?, sir."
"Have you not asked James Taylor to come
hero and swear that on December 10 you were
at some place other than New-York?"
"No. sir."
"Have you ever been convicted of a crime?"
"Yes. sir."
"What -were you convicted for?" asked Mr
Eustace.
"Firing stones in Jersey City wh»n I was a
boy."
"When your men went bark to work on the
Hamburg-American pier did Plenty's men con
tinue to d* the work on account of which you
struck?"
"No, sir."
PAYS DOLAN WAS IN HOBOKEN.
Thomas Dodge testified that he lived at No.
132 Monroe-st., Hobcken. N. J , that on Decem
ber 19, 1902, he was with Dolan during the day
in Hoboken, and that they were at the Hudson
County Jail during the afternoon until after 4
o'clock. He also saw Dolan in a store in Ho
boken about 7 o'clock in the evening, after which
they came over to New-York City. Under ques
tioning by Mr. Band. Dodge said he was with
Parks on Thursday in company with Parks's
counsel.
John Monahan, an Ironworker, said that he
saw Dolan on December 19 in Jersey City.
John J. Fallon, a lawyer, testified that Dolan
was at his office In Hoboken at 2 p. m. on De
cember 19.
Joseph Tracey. a Hoboken stationer, said that
Dolan was in his store at 7 p. m. on Decem
ber 19.
No questions were asked these latter wit
nesses by the prosecution, and the defence
rested.
Mr. Hand moved that Parks he committed to
the Tombs during the remainder of the trial, and
Recorder Goff denied the motion.
After recess the prosecution put George Murty
on the stand, and he testified that on December
IS he was employed by Josephus Plenty, and
was at work on the Hamburg-American pier.
He said that he was a member of the House
smiths nnd Bridgemen's Union, and after the
strike he and four of his fellow workmen did
the same class of work that they had done be
fore the strike.
Jacob Gossman, another member of the union,
gave substantially the same testimony.
No questions were asked either witness by
the defence, and this concluded the case for the
prosecution.
COLONEL ROBINSON SUMS UP.
Colonel David C. Robinson began to sum up
for the defence at 2:20 p. m. He declared that
the only evidence presented against Parks was
"the uncorroborated evidence of a man who had
a moneyed interest in putting a crime on some
one." Colonel Robinson attacked the testimony
of Plenty, and declared that Plenty's object in
drawing his check was to provide evidence to
the Hamburg-American company that he had
paid money to settle the strike, because of his
agreement with the company that it would re
pay him $250 if it cost him $500 to settle.
Referring to Parks, Cotonel Robinson said:
"He was the trusted representative of five thou
sand of the most Intelligent, the most acute
mechanics in the city of New-York. For many
years he was under the espionage of an asso
ciation of manufacturers, hyenas and wolves,
bound together by the coherent attractions of
plunder."
THE PROSECUTION'S CASE. ■
A few minutes before 4 p. m. Mr. Rand be
gan his address for the prosecution. Pointing to
Park?, the Assistant District Attorney said:
"Not his fellows are on trial here, but he is.
Organized labor is not on trial here. There is
nothing infamous In the name of walking dele
gate, except such as men like 'Sam' Parks and
John Dolan and Henry Farley have put upon it."
In the course of his address Mr. Rand pointed
out that no one had testified for the defence as
to where the witness Dolan was on December
19 between 4 and t> o'clock. "And Dolan him
self." he continued, "the frail reed on which
their whole fabric of fraud and perjury rests,
did not say where he was during those two
hours." Turning to Parks, Mr. Rand continued:
"And when Parks took the stand, before ho had
spoken twenty words, is there any doubt that
every man within the sound of his voice knew
that he was not only an extortioner and a thief,
but a perjurer?"
Later, with impassioned utterance. Mr. Rand
said: "On the sworn testimony in this case. I say
that Bernard Lynch wa« the man through
whose hands the dirty money passed. On this
testimony I say that he keeps a resort at Fifty
ninth-st. and Thlrd-ave. for extortioners and
thieves. Why didn't 'Barney* Lynch come here
and deny Plenty's story? They asked. Where is
'Barney' Lynch? I'll tell you where he is."
Mr. Rand went over and pointed to where
Lynch sat, In the first row outside of the rail.
"There's 'Barney' Lynch," he said. "Come,
'Barney' Lynch, and tell to whom you gave the
$200? Come, 'Barney* Lynch, and tell for whom
you received that $200? Come, 'Barney* Lynch,
for your friend's sake, for your name's sake,
and tell us to whom you paid this money?"
At each mention of Lyneh's name objection
was made by counsel for Parks. Lynch sat
without change of attitude, glaring at the As
sistant District Attorney.
Recorder Goff began his charge to the jury at
4:4." p. m. The general impression among these
In the courtroom was that his charge was fa
vorable to the defendant, although the counsel
for Parks took many exceptions to it. The jury
went out shortly before 7 p. Nx
Recorder Goff. when the jury had retired, said
that he would wait for their verdict until 10
o'clock. If at that hour they had not reached
a decision, he would lock them up for the night.
A large crowd stayed about the Criminal Courts
Building, as the general impression was that a
verdict might be reached quickly. Scattered
through the corridors of the building was a large
force of police. v

It was announced yesterday that the Stone
Cutters' Union has for the fifth time rejected
the employers' plan of arbitration. The boas
stone cutters also have pronounced against the
plan, declaring that the agreement which they
have with their men at present is eminently
satisfactory.
The most ferious setback to the plans of the
members of the Building Trades Employers'
Association to resume work by September 1
appeared yeeterdajr, when the delegatta of the
Stone Cutters' Untoa ueclared that a combina
tion of the trades and employers In the stone
industry will he formed some time next week.
The employers are to be represented Ly the
employing stone cutters and the boss stone
setters, and the workmen by the Journeymen
stone setters, the derrickmen and the stone
cutters. The object of the proposed movement
is the formation of a permanent organization
against the idea of the plan of arbitration, in
contradistinction to the agreement in vogue at
present. . ~- - r „ . ..
Charles L. Eidlitz. president of the Building
Trades Employers' Association, when told of the
proposed new movement, declared that some of
the stonecutters had already signed the plan of
arbitration, and arc working under it. The men
themselves, however, say. that all the surplus
members of the union who arc not employed ;n
the city have been sent out of town and are
working to a man.
Mr. Eidlitz said. also, that the Brotherhood
of Painters have signed the plan of arbitration.
This union includes the decorators »nd the pa
perhangers. and numbers about four thousand
strong. The employers* association seemed
greatly pleased over the- action of the Brother
hood. Two other unions are expected to sign
the plan before next Tuesday, according to Mr.
Eidlitz.

President Xeidig at Meeting Calls
McCarthy Crowd Grafter*.
Practically the sole topic of conversation **
the meeting of the Housesmlths and Bridge
men Union In Ilannerchor Hall last night was
the trial of Parks. About 10 o'clock, before the
jury had reached Its verdict, the members at
the meeting passed a vote of confidence in the
accused walking delegate, and an assessment
which had been levied for Parks's defence was
paid in. It was said that th's amounted to
$1,000.
During the evening a report gained circulation
that the jury stood eight to four in favor of
Parks. The news was received joyfully, and the
entertainment committee whooped things up in
the bar. After the news of the verdict had
been received the committee disappeared.
The effect of the verdict on the friends and
admirers of Parks was almost indescribable.
They had had such complete confidence in him.
and had been so dominated by his personality,
that the possibility of a conviction had hardly
been considered. So that when the single word
"Guilty:" was received, it was as If some heavy
blow had fallen on each and every man individ
ually.
There were some men. howe'. er, who looked at
the conviction in a different light. One of the
prominent members of the union said:
"There will be many happy homes in New-
York to-night. Pome of us have been out since
April, and the feeling has been among many
of us thai, ii Parks was out of the way work
would start up at once."
Some members of the Stonecutters' Union who
were present declared that the contest would be
continued against the employers' association on
the one side, and the Houaesaaiths and Bridge
men's Union and the Stonecutters' Union, on tho
other.
There was an exciting scene between Robert
E. Neldig, the president of the union, who is
not considered to be v Parks supporter, and
Timothy McCarthy, a walking delegate, one of
Parks's cronies, who was jointly indicted with
him in the assault case on James O'Neil, a
member of the union. In a fiery speech, de
livered in his shirtsleeves. McCarthy denounced
Neidig, particularly for taking down to the Dis
trict Attorney's office the constitution and by
laws of the union. Neldig had been subpoenaed
by the District Attorney, and under the law
was compelled to deliver up whatever papers
were demanded.
"It was one of the worst things that could
have been done against Parks." he shouted, "and
I demand that you give up the gavel and step
down as chairman."
McCarthy was cheered uproariously by his
supporters, who appeared to be in a majority.
Neidig replied:
I want to tell you 'grafters,' and you par
ticularly," pointing his finger at McCarthy,
"that I won't be forced out of the chair. There
is a proper way to depose me which is provided
for in the constitution. You can't terrorize me
here this evening. You have control of the
?neeting. but I dare you to try and penalize me.
All you fellows haven't spunk enough. You dare
not do it. If I did produce the constitution and
bylaws it was the action of a good citizen, and I
would do it again. Now do your b°?t or your
worst You can't remove, me."
Neidig still held th« gavel and McCarthy sub
sided.
The \ot^ which was taken declaring confidence
in Parks was not quite unanimous. There was
one man who voted against the resolution, and
h* was nearly mobbed by the other member?.
O. M. EIDLITZ HAS NO COMMENT.
Otto M. Eidlitz, president of the board of
governors of the Building Trades Employers'
Association, when told last night of the convic
tion of Parks, declined to talk on the subject.
"I have not one word to say," he said. "I do
not care to express any opinion on the matter
just now."
