REESE & CO. Mrs. Carman May Know Her Fate Late Tonight ii RINGS HER STORY DOWN THROUGH A LONG PERIOD DURING WHICH SHE KEPT HEARING THINGS ABOUT HER HUSBAND AND HIS "GIRLS" MINEOLA, N. Y., Oct. 23.-Mrs. Florence Conklin Cannan, on trial herc for the murder of Mrs. Louise Hailey, may know her fate by tomorrow night. Her counsel and District Attorney Lewis J. Smith today informed Justice Charles H. Kelby they undoubtedly would complete their case before the noon recess tomorrow. The entire afternoon thus will be left for thc summing up and the delivering of the charge to thc jury. The case should be in the hands of the jury before nightfall. This was the defence's day. Witness gave testimony for Mrs. Carman. The defendant herself submitted to a grilling cross ex amination. Explaining her installation of a mechanical "eaves dropping" device in the ofHce of her husband, Dr. Edwin Carman, >hc told how men friends of her husband had asked him in her pres ence how "all of his girls" v/ere. Other men, she said, solemnly, had told her the doctors was "a devil with thc girls." She brought her story down through a long period during which she kept hearing things about her husbafid and his "girls." Then she admitted she became suspicious of Dr. Carman and had the "mechanical eavesdropper" installed in his office. She admitted ;hat if a woman patient came to her husband's office many times she became suspicious of the woman and also of her husband. Mrs. Carman frequently was confused and at times hesitated and fenced with thc prosecutor. When interrogated regarding her fa'durc to write a note of condolence to thc family of thc woman killed or to call at the house to express her sympathy, Mrs. Carman appeared on the verge of a breakdown. When it was over she hur led to her seat and watched her little daughter, Elizabeth, walk io the witness stand. Then she listened intently while the child lestitied in her mother's defense. . Meanwhile Mrs. Carman show ed increasing signs of nervousness and when her aged, gray-haired mother took the stand and began her testimony the woman cn trial for her life burst into tears. .All members of Mrs. Carman's family testified in her behalf today. Their stones were corroborative and each witness denied '.here was the least truth in thc story told by Celia Coleman, the servant who gave testimony by which it was intended to connect Mrs. Carman directly with thc murder. Another witness was Ferdinand Q. Morton, a negro lav/yer, m ployed to get a statement from Celia Coleman for the district .Morney, which statement afterward was turned over to the defense. this statement Celia denied she knew anything more about the rurdcr than she Had told at thc inquest when her story was favor able to Mrs. Carma'.). The maid has declared she lied at this hearing (cause Mrs. Carmrui had asked her to and because she then felt .sorry for her mistress. * Mis. Carman declared tonight she had not the slightest doubt re jury would bring in a verdict of acquittal. Mrs. Carman, smilingly stepped into the witness stand for the ordeal of cross examination by District Attorney Smith. "Mrs. Carman," began the dis- said, were more attractive to her trict attorney, "you said you were husband than she was, she had suspicious of your husband. When thought %Shc did not know if did you get suspicious?" there were more than one, but "About a year ago." she wanted to find out.

' AO cha Commen?ai i - * i Financial -o (By Associated Press) NEW YORK, Ort. 23.-interest In '1 financial affairs today again was fo cused on Washington where further conferences and negotiations were in progress foi ibo alleviation of foreign exchange conditions and the unravel ling of the complex cotton situation. It is becoming more geuorally recog nized that these factors constitute the foundation upon which all financial and commercial operations of thc im mediate future are to be laid. The feature of the foreign exchange situation was the new low record for exchange on Germany, for which sight drafts sold at 90 1-2. This was an out come of thc large offerings of bills against shipments of grains, cotton and general merchandise to Germany. Exchange on London was moro steady. Cotton bills were less conspicu ous in the day's business with London, but it ls said additional shipments of that commodity to Liverpool are in contemplation. Further ease in money was noted and tomorrow's bank statement is ex pected to show an appreciable gain in cash with thc complete effacement of the deficit in cash reserves. Local and Interior banks are buying more com mercial paper, but greater discrimin ation is being shown in the purchase pf these bills. The improved statu of the monetary situation also IS evi denced in the "continued retirement of emergency currency. Increase in idle railroad equipment and falling away in bank cle&Cngs has overthrown expected trade con ditions. Receivership for the Toledo, St Louls and Western road occasioned no surprise, in view v>f tho company's de fault on its bonds almost three months ago, but the incident called'renewed attention to similar financial embar rassment by the railway systems of the same class. Weekly Cotton -o NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-There has been more optimistic talk in local cot ton trade circles during the past week and it seems the goneral impression j that good progress has been made in ' thc direction of reopening the ex changes. Tho new by-laws, meeting the requirements of tho cotton futures law and increasing commission rates, were adopted Wednesday, and while no official announcement has been made, it ?B understood the successful oper ation of the syndicate plan for taking over old contracts now is assured. A rough draft of proposed clearing house plans has been submitted to the board of managers, but there still is much work to be done by the com mittee which has been authorized to employ expert assistance in drawing up details, and the actual organiza tion of such an institution ls not deem ed essential to reopening of the mar- i ket. Tho movement of cotton has been In- , creasing, with enough selling pres-, suro to cause declines in Southern j spot markets. It was reported today ; domestic mills were negotiating with', bankers for, aid in financing lacreas- ? ing purchases.. A more act leo invest-' ment demand is expected to develop . with the reopening of the exchanges, and plans aro said to b? formulating ] for shipments of cotton to Groat Brit- j aln in part payment of the adverso trade balance. Bradstreet's Report -o NEW YORK, Oct. .23.-Bradstreet's tomorrow will say: Cross currents in trade and finance, j domestic and foreign, give an irregu lar appearance to commercial and fin ancial affairs. The war, still is the ! dominating element, and whatever dullness, or on the other hand, stimu lation is visible takes its rise ap- j parently in tho hosltilitlcB in Europe. 1 On the favorable side are to be found the rather better tone of financial matters caused by international cf- } forta to bring about a resumption of . cornial conditions in the exchange . market, the cotton export situation and the reopening of the stock markets. | Bank clearances for the Week end- , lng October 22, according to Brad street's, were $2,733,346,00, a decrease of 24.6 per cent .'or -the same week last ? year; business /allures were 336, I against 248 last ?eek; wheat exports] including Dour 5,438,478 bushels, against 8,325,3*5 bushels last year. New York Cotton NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-Today's ad vices from the South suggested' con- j tinued irregularity in the spot sita- ! aiton.

THIRTEEN BRITISH MERCHANTMEN SUNK (By Associated Press.) ' LONDON. Oct 23.-(6:40 a. m.) A dispatch from Teneriffe, Canary Is lands, to thc Daily Afail, under date of Thuraday reporta that the German cruiser Karlsruhe bas sunk -thirteen British merchautuient in the Atlan tic. Thc news of thc Karlsruhe's ex ploit, according to the Daily Mail's Teneriffe correspondent, was brought to that port by the German steamer Crefeld, which arrived there with the crew of thc British Bteanieiu Strath roy. Maplebrauch, Highland Hope, In drani, Rio Iguslasa, Farn, Nic?to, Atarla, Cervantes, Cornish City, Pruth, Condor and Lnrowan, all of which were sunk by the Karlsruhe. Tho Crefeld waa accompanied into port by the German steamers Patagonia, Rio Negro and Asuncion. At later message ?tated more than 400 men of the crew are prisoners and that the * merchantmen were mostly sunk in the Atlantic. Tho ships were mostly engaged in tho South American trade and their total tonnage is about 60,000. The cruiser Karlsruhe, a ship of a trifle less than five thousand tons, lias had in this war a career as event ful in thc Atlantic as that of her ?maller sister ship, thc Emden, in tho Indian ocean. The Karlsruhe first came into no tice at the outbreak of the war whon she appeared in thc vicinity of Sandy Hook apparently in wait for British merchantmen leaving Now York. For a few days the British shipping hug ged their piers and then carno news that tho Karlsruhe had been driven away by tho approach of scvoi-.ii British cruisors. On August 9 the Karlsruho appear ed in the harbor of San Juan, Porto Rico, where she coaled and then again took to thc seas. Soon after it waa learned the Karlsruhe had been in a sensational running fight at sea with the British cruisers Suffolk" and Bristol. It' appears that the British cruisers came .unexpectedly upon the Karl sruhe while sho was coaliug from tho ? German steamer Kronprinz Wilhelm. Thc cruisers engaged in a running fight while the Kronprinz Wilhelm, through her superior speed, easily es caped. The Karlsruho alBO eluded her- pursuers and an unconfirmed re port had lt that sho damaged the Bristol in this fight. Sinco then the Karlsruho has ap peared ia several West Indian ports for coal after preying in various southern seas' on British commerce. An official" statement, given out In Berlin on October 3, said she had sunk seven British steamers in the Atlantic. Tho Karlsruhe I* a comparatively new ship, having gone into, commis sion carly in 1913. She is very fast, having a speed of 27 knots which has enabled her thus far to successfully eludo the persistent British pursuit. Her main armament consists of 12 4.1-inch guns. She carried ti crew of 373* men. . . Government Prohibits . Sugar Importation LONDON, Oct 23.
