Definite acceptances of the president's invitation to participate were received at the state department dur_ ing the day from Great Britain and Jtaly, while informal advices came to ? official circles here that favorable reply from "China might be expected in the near future. At the same 'time it became known that much sympathetic interest had been manifested miormally, by several governments who do not expect to have seats in the conference. France having: previously expressed her willingness to take part, the only invited power from which no sort of an expression had been received to. night was Japan. Administration officials were confident of an acceptance . from the Tokyo government, however, and in Japanese quarters here it was indicated that the delay undoubtedly was due to the formalities of consultation among the various branches of the Japanese government which are necessary in the decision . of important public questions. State department officials would not reveal whether any formal com.' munication on the subject had been received from governments not invited t oparticipate, although it'was understood that no advice of an ad* verse nature at least had reached the the department from abroad. So far as the reports here indicate, sentiment abroad is content with the 'president's decision to have the mem bership of the conference limited to the five big powers and China. ?

TAKES A WARRANT TO MAKE SEARCH Since the prohibition law went into effect, over a year ago the question of searching a man's house or premises, without a search warrant, in order to procure "exhibits" or evidence of illicit distilling of whiskey, has attracted no little attention among attorneys and laymen alike, and for that reason a decision handed down by the United States court of appeals, now sitting at Richmond, in whch this question is discussed, is of more than passing interest. In this case, in which evidence was procured against the defendant from his premises without a search warrant, the judgment will be reversed and a new trial awarded according to the Richmond decision. The case was that of the governmpnt fl tywincf .TnUn Wnlmoc vuVin woe convicted of illicit distilling. The government's witnesses were three prohibition agents, and it was conceded during the trial of the case in Charleston that the agents went upon the dfendant's premises in his absence, without his knowledge or consent and without a search warrant. They found, it was claimed, certain articles that they claimed were parts of a still, and one of the men went into the house and brought out a can similar to a can found in the yard. No whiskey was discovered on the premises. The defendant was arrested at a ginnery in the neighborhood "Without a warrant. On the way to jail it was contended that the defendant admitted that he had used the articles found by the prohibition agents for distilling whiskey. In the course of the trial ho objection was made to1 any of this testimony; the defendant denied that he had ever made whiskey or that he had ever admitted hafing done so. After the general charge to the jury the defendant submitted a number of requests for specific instructions, the last of which was the the jury be directed to acquit "For the reason that the undisputed evidence -<in the case shows that all that is brought against the defendant was obtained by the government's witnesses going upon and making search of the premises of the defendant, and making seizures thereon .... without due process of law and in violation of the fourth amendment nf tVio fnd eral constitution." The refusal of the request raised the question which object to fu^^^^vidcnce for"the same reason instefjl, ojfv?Mowing the tei>tini(my ^ and A special meeting1 df Union Council No. 245, J.

Stillman, wealthy New York banker and divorce plaintiff, and Florence Leeds, former Broadway show girl, the banker's counsel declared they would not dispute or contradict the evidence and asked Referee Gleason to rule that no further evidence be required as to these relations. The referee denied the request after it had evoked protests from the lawyers representing Mrs. Anne U. Stillman, the defendant. Col. William Rand, of Mr. Stillman's counsel, was quoted as saying that "no occasion exists for adducing further proof except to satisfy a prurient public." Following the testimony against the banker. Colonel Rand was said to have stated: "It now appears by the evidence that Mr. Stillman occupied an apartment at 64 East Eightysixth street, New York, with one Florence H. Leeds, and that he was known there as Franklin Harold Leeds that he accompanied her to various places, was seen carrying her baby Jay in his arms; that in December, 1916, he opened up a bank account in her name as Miss Florence H. Leeds, and informed the bank that if the account became short to notify him. "The account became short and he was notified; the account was immediately made good. "It further appears that at Rest Court, Stony Brook, Long Island, he lived with Mrs. Leeds as her husband, was known there.as Mr. Leeds and paid the chauffeur employed there." Colonel Rand then stated that if the referee was ready upon the evidence to make a finding in regard to Mr. Stillman's relations with Florence I/eeds and if he was satisfied from the evidence "that there is no collusion, we wish to state that the evidence will not be disputed or contradicted/* _ COMPTROLLER SPEAKS BEFORE BANKERS Cleveland, July 14.?An international confernce of financial experts to consider a plan to place cmmercial transactions of the world on a uniform basis and eliminate uncertain ?pt o (>>.ui, aii uir uuDBuwivvs m inai commuritty'.-aJre urged to attofljdi ;^jSJ pickle demon9fration.will be given.

Kaber, will be resumed tomorrow morning:, following: its interruption today on account of Mrs. Kaber breaking: down under the sti-ain, will depend upon the report at that time of two physicians who made an examination of the accused woman tonitrht. Should the report of the physicians be that Mrs. Kaber is physically un able to be present in the court room, as required by law* Judge Vernon has not yet decided whether he will adjourn from day to day until she is recovered or whether some other action may be taken. "The situation will have to be taken care of as at present," Judge Vernon said. TJie physicians who made an examination of Mi's. Kaber were John S. Tilly and Charles W. Stone. They were summoned to make the examination by County Prosecutor Edward C. Stanton who announced this evening that they, together with Drs. K. S. West and H. D. Drysdale, will be the state's alienists to pass upon Mrs. Kaber's mental condition. All arc local men. The defense has not announced the names of the alienist it will call, but it is understood there arc three of them. Decision to have Mrs. Kaber's physiical condition inquired into was made by Prosecutor Stanton after the court had advised him that he would not proceed with the trial until satisfied that Mrs. Kaber was conscious of things transpiring in the court room. By reason of the interruptions only one defense witness was examined today. He was Charles Dreckel, brother of Mrs. Kaber. Her fainting spells came while he was being subjected to a gruelling cross examination by Assistant County Prosecutor James J. Cassidy. MRS.

The result of the vote, leader.6 of both factions agreed, was'Ytot in doubt, recommittal, as requested by President Harding in his address yesterday to the senate^ being deemed certain. Senator lodge, of Massachusetts, Republican leader, secured the agreement at the close of another day's assault by Democratic senators. Mr. Lodge said the recommittal motion was in the way of other important measures, such as th anti-beer and maternity bills. In agreeing to a vote, however. Democrats gave notice that they would not only oppose the Republican motion but also would seek to instruct the finance committee to report the bill back at an early j date. Senators Watson, of Georgia, and [ Ileflin of Alabama led the Democratic I attack today on the motion to recommit. Senator Myers, Democrat, Montana, however, advocated recommittal and much of the day was given to a clash between him and Senator Watson. The voting agreement involves holding the bonus measure and the recommittal motion before the senate continuously until the roll call Friday. It was reached after Republican senators who continued to re frain from replying to the Democratic assaults gave up hope of secur ing a vote either today or tomorrow Private overtures for a vote tomor row were rejected by Democratic sen ators who insisted that ample tim< should be given for presenting tin opposition rgum^nt ato the country. That Presidnt Harding had ex ceeded his constitutional limitation: in asking the senate to postpone con sideration of the bill was asserted b; Senator Watson. The Republicai move, he said, was to send the bil "to a chloroform committee preside over by a chloroform senator." ' Tha the Republicans proposed "puttim the bill to sleep forever," was assert ed also by Senator Heflin. Senator Heflin charged that bi money interests had contributed t election of a Republican presiden and congress and now were saying "Deliver the goods." The some ir terests, he said, were threatening t ut5* was amply able to bear the bui den of the bill. Senatpr Watson diverted from h: discussion of the bonus bill to a'ttae the selective draft. The great battlt of the world war, he asserted, wei not won by volunteer troops. Drafted soldiers from the Unite States "without pull," he declaret were transported to Europe "on nast. British cattle ships" and "many o them fed by Chinese coolies to kee from starving." "Volunteers do not need to be dis ciplined by 'hard boiled Smiths' or t be fed "by Chinese coolies," he wen on, and then turned to attack "Her bert Hoover's wheatles sand meatles days* and "the speculation by th Red Cross." -Stanator^tVatson said if he had hi wijr:he. .Would invoke a Confederati wreTayfoauthoj-izing the s<jpretary o: Wh trpfwury to issue $102,000,000 ii fm&AfoMqfe and ^distribute them t< I tftir.

The Georgia senator's reputation had preceded him.- Senator Myers said he had expected "intellectual slugging and annihilation" from any one who differed witht him. Senator Myers said Senator Watson owed apologies to the American Legion and that the Georgia senator also had aspersed the soldiers of the Confederacy by declaring that conscripted soldiers were "unwilling."

V "d ' vStfl'J* ' iiv , ,d?Wi TO DISCOUNT ALL COTTON PAPER Representative W. F. Stevenson ; yesterday sent the following wire - from Washington to The State> ? "Have seen federal reserve board . and tbey'have instructed the federal i reserve banks in the eotton states to i discount all cotton paper presented by member banks when paper is se. cured by sufficient cotton, and the | board has authorized the banks to Cive out a public statement to this effect." J. Pope Matthews, president of the i Palmetto National bank, when asked yesterday what effect this action of the federal reserve board would have on the financial situation, said: "This action will tend to stimulate and support the banks in the cotton belts, and will tend to allay any panicky feelinp:; the knowledge that the federal reserve board is lending its support in efforts being made to brine about orderly marketing cannot but be hel?)ful, and encouraging to all interests. Such an arrangement as outlined is now in effect as to Liberty bonds." J. Skottowe Wannamaker of St. Matthews, president of the American Cotton association, when informed of , the message from Representative Stevenson and asked for a comment on its effect, said that it meant the [ saving of millions of dollars to the farmers of the South, as, instead of sellimr their cotton for less than one-third the cost of production, they will be enabled to hold their cotton until confidence is restored and the markets opened. Mr. Wannamaker is of the opinion that relief from finan' cial strain in many sections will be felt as a result of the action of the reserve board and that pressure will ' be eased. 2 Mr. Wannamaker's statement follows: "Through special committees of s the American Cotton association, the " president of the United States, the ^ secretary of the treasury, the gov enior of the federal reserve hoard ** and the comptroller of the currency were furnished with a complete * synopsis of conditions in agricul^ tural sections of the cotton holt and " a special request was made that the federal reserve board announce that K it would loan $100,000,000 on cotton ? stored and insured for 80 per cent of the market value, such loan to be >: made through member banks and i- non-member banks of the federal re? serve system and to be renewed. f- out that the federal reserve districts in the South could rediscount such ' is paper with the other federal reserve k districts. / ?s "Senators and conjfressnteB-of the-, e South and West practically unitedly ' co-operated with and' joined in this d request and it was indorsed by thoui, sands of barik'ez;$ and business men y throughout tl|e agricultural sections, f -"The national"headquarters of the p American Cotton association was notified this afternoon that the re quest had been granted even in more o liberal terms than anticipated. Int stead of limiting the amount to - $100,000,000 all cotton paper present s eel by member banks will be. redise counted for 80 per cent of the market value of the cotton through 1921 or s until market conditions become nore m?l. Among the telegrams received f confirming this was the one from . i Representative Stevenson of South ) Carolina." t Will Save Millions. "This means that 80 per cent of 1 the market value can always be - granted on cotton as special redisr counts and that the banks can rediscount this paper with the federal re, serve in the same way in which Lib. erty Loan bonds were handled with' out being debarred on account of the . amount of their credits. I "It alSO means the snvinnr of mil lions to the farmers of the South as . instead of selling their cotton for [ less than one-third the cost of production they will be enabled to hold the s^me until confidence is restored and the market opened."
