Testifies Frenchman Exe

dation of Former Premier
: Defends Agadir Treaty
r-l "~~.~
Reiterates His Good Faith
Was Abused by Count Mi
iiotto. Swift*? Son-in-Law
PARIS, Feb. 26. The croes-examina- j
tion of Joseph Caillaux by Prosecutor
Leecouvc took up the whole of the ses?
sion of the Senate, sitting as a High
Court of Justice to-day. The hearing
did not bring out any new features i
or facts concerning M. Caillaux's ac- '
tirities during the war, but mainly
dealt with the Treaty of Algericas,
which Leon Bourgeois, who is Presi?
dent of the High Court, declared was
necessary to throw light on M. Cail?
laux's activities during the war.
After the direct examination by M.
Bourgeois had concluded, M. Bourgeois
ir.vited the Senators to address such
(???estions as they desired to the man
?ho is being tried for his life on the
rhirge of having had treasonable deal?
ings with the enemy. M. Delhave asked
M. Caillaux why, if he thought so lit
t'te of Pierre Lenoir, who was executed
in connection with Bolo Pacha's activi?
ties, he had decorated Lenoir with the !
Legion of Honor. To this Caillaux re?
plied:
Recommended by Clemenceau
-Lenoir was decorated on my prede?
cessor's recommendation, Minister of
the Interior Clemenceau. The papers
;.'?ready had been approved when I took
iharg-* of the mil istry."
M. Caillaux entered a strong pro?
test against his Agadir. Morocco, policy
heinp discussed, saying that this policy
sr,d the treaty had been approved and
:?.t::":e?i by the intire Chamber of Dep?
uties and the Cabinet, Caillaux argued
that the Agadir treaty gave France a
hreathinp spell and prevented war at
an inauspicious moment. "Gaining
a few year-' delay in 1911 made it pos?
sible for us to secure a victory in
19J.S." said Caillaux.
The defendant claimed credit for
having discovered that part of the
French government's dispatches to the
Argentine government and to the
French Ambassador at Buenos Ayres
?ere being transmitted from Monte?
video to Buenos Ayres over a German
owned cable and for having the prac?
tice stopped.
Says Minotto Abused Faith
Caillaux's relations with James Mi- .
notto, sor.-in-law ot' Louis F. Swift, of .
Chicago, again were reviewed at '.
length. The witness reiterated that
his good faith had been abused by
Minotto. A letter from Assistant At?
torney General O'Brien., of Washing?
ton, transmitted by Jules Jusserand,
the French Ambassador to the United
Sute?, explaining Minotto's status at
the 'irr.e of the armistice was de?
posited with M. Bourgeois by M. Les
couve. The court will decide at a se?
cret session when this letter is to be
admitted into the court records.
Th next session of the trial will be;

Innocent Asthma Cure

Ends Suspense
Dr. Charles F. Chandler, a chemist
r.f rote, called up the bomb squad a'

Detective Sergeant Gegan that he
? mid .-end the mysterious package lie
had turned over to the police last week
up to i lis home, 1 Last Fifty-fourth
Street, as it was an inhaler for the re
lief *' astl ma and not a bomb.
-You gotta hand it to the high
brows," remarked Gegan as he start- j
ed the parcel or. its way. ''This bird
hasn't even seen the in3ide of this
package, and he knows more about it
than I do now."'
Dr. Chandler received the parcel in
the i. ; - * week. It v-'as small,

*..:*.- i of a fluid could be
heard when it was moved. Tho bomb

and found to contain two glass tubes,
one filled with a brownish liquid ami ;
one with a colorless liquid. "~
A representative of the Burean ofj

was to keep away from it. and if it did
not explode in a ew months it probably ?
vas harmless. Then Dr. Chandler got

her checkbooks Miss Brice raised a
glass of water as though she were
drinking a toast to him.
"Kid." she said, "you can have any?
thing I've got!"
This statement threw the demeanor
of the court off an even keel for some
time, and it was with difficulty that
real Federal dignity was restored.
Then the actress turned to her coun?
sel and in a motherly voice said:
"Give Mr. Meyers the check books. He
won't be happy till he gets them. He
loves to play with them."
Miss Brice's testimony failod to ?how
that she knew anything concerning
the whereabouts of her husband, and
nothing was brought out that would
indicate her financial holdings might
be classified as assets of his. She
testified that she had two account?.
at the United States Mortgage and
Trust Company and a small one at the
Pacific Bank.
She keeps one of the Trust Company
accounts under the name of Fannie
Brice and the other under the name
of Fannie Arnold. The former, she
said, was for housekeeping expenses.
?She explained checks signed by her
husband antl elated after his disappear?
ance on February 1" by saying that
when he gave them to her he had sim?
ply dated them ahead.
Many o? the eiuestions asked her
Miss Brice said she could not answer
because of her bad memory. She de
clared her memory was so bad that
she hael been paying two gas companies
for many months for the same service. ?
The witness ?aid her reai name was
Fannie Borack, and that she had used ?
the name Arnstein only at the time of
her marriage. Since that time she and
her husband have been known as Mr.
and Mrs. J. W. Arnold. She said she
had been married to a man named
White before her marriage to Arnstein.
but never had lived with him.
Checks given to her by her husband,
.?h" eleclared, were for money d?riv?e!
from gambling. When asked how she
knew this she said she had heard her
husband and his friends talking about |
it at the house. She said she received
$650 a week on the stage, and also had
an income from a dressmaking busi?
ness, in whicii she is in partnership
with a Miss Lottie Cantor, whom she
el-scribed as a "little Jewish girl from
Chicago."
Miss Brice said she rented two safe
tie posit boxes, one in the Lincoln Trust '
Company and the other in the Madison
Safe Deposit Company. They con?
tained, she declared, a gold vanity case,
?a gold cigarette case.' a gold mesh bag
and other personal effects. She said
she lost, the keys to both boxes and '
would be glad if the receiver appointed
for her husband would open them for
her.
Two arrests, which the police believe
may throw considerable light, on the
murder of Benjamin Binkowitz. bank
messenger, whose body was found near
Bridgeport, Conn., last fall, after he
j had disappeared with $178,000 in Lib?
j erty bonds, were made yesterday by
Detectives Gllfillen and Meringold, o?
the Old Slip police station.
One was that of Rob-ert Bradley
, twenty-three years old, who is charged
! with the theft of securities alued at
j $3,500 from H. L. Doherty * Co., of
! 60 Wall Street, where ho was employed
as a clerk and hud charge of the con
Braelley's alleged confession has led
to the arrest of Tony Candeloia, an
Italian, who gave his age a? twenty -
five years and his address as "OS West
128th Street. lie is charged with aid?
ing Bradley in the robbery. Arraigned
bet?re Magistrate Norman .1. Marsh In
the Tombs Court, both men said they
would tell all they knew about the
Binkowitx murder and they were held
for examination by Assistant District
Attorney Richard C. Murphy.
Bradley was arrested on his arrival
here yesterday from Detroit, where he
said he had been living for two months.
In his confession, according to the po?
lice, Bradley met Candeloia last De?
cember. They g?>t into conversation
while they were lenoking at an automo?
bile elisplay on Broadway. They became
good friends, and wthen Bradley told the
Italian where he worked the latter
urged him to steal some bonds which
he promised to cash for him.
After Bradley stole the bonds, accord?
ing to the alleged confession, Can
delora drove him to Waterbury, Conn.,
in an automobile and solel them. While
on the way to Waterbury, Bradley says,
the Italian told him he had "squared"
tilings for Binkowitz when he stole
$178,000 worth of bonds last August
and everything would have been all
right if Binkowitz had not tried t?>
cheat those who had helped him. This
led to his being murdered, Bradley
says Cundelora told him.
British Insurance Bill
Passes Second Reading
Labor Party Shows Opposition
to Measure That Affects
12,000,000 Persons
LONDON'. Feb. 26!?The insurance
bill passed its second reading in the
House of Commons yesterday without
a division, although a great deal ??!'
opposition was shown by the Labor
party. Under the bill, insurance would
be extended on a contributory basis to
virtually the whole of the employed
population between the ages of sixteen
and seventy. Industries may become
exempt from the provisions of the bill
by setting up special schemes afford?
ing eejual or greater benefits.
The only important exceptions to the
operation of the measure are agricul?
tural workers and servants. In Ireland
it applies only to workmen in trades
already insured under the existing
acts.
The bill provides benefits of 15 shil?
lings a week for men and 12 shillings
for women. The employers and work?
ers will contribute the same amounts,
rite men three pence and the women
two pence half penny, with the state
supplying its one-third. It is esti?
mated that, nearly 12,000,000 persons
will be affected, and that the annual
cost to the state will be between ?3,
000,000 and ?4.000,000, us against i'l.
