Meantime, Wheeler had been given permission to resume his seat. -. - Mr." Taiflane read the law from the penal code ndopted In 1800. The, section under which the defendant was found guilty was the only one which had not been revised with heavier penal ties. Speaking of the first indictment, which chnrged embezzlement of money, Judge Johnson said ; "There arc two counts in tills in dictment. Of course they comprise in reality only one act. In justice we must look upon it as one act. How ever, it is an aggravated case and for such cases the law prescribes the mnxi- mum penalty. The sentence of the court is that you pay the costs of the prosecution, a line of .$1000 nnd serve twoyeurs In the county prison." . The judge then took up thestcond Indictment and imposed the same penalties.

The national industrial conference will decide the issue today as to its future. There has come n determined purpose to the people's group to force the issues now pending, viz., "that of col lective bargaining and the arbitration After almost continuous sessions reach nnv compromise with labor both groups standing firm the subject will be forcetf to a vote. It wm i , ., . ii i i i .l t . . . , break the deadlock, but the future is uncertain. Labor has not defined its couiro following defeat of its measures, ,,,,,,,.,.,. which will certainly come today. Whether or not Judge Elbert H. Gary, of the United States Steel Corporation, represents his individual views or the consensus of opinion of the directors of that corporation, in the stntement which he made to the conference, it is a fact that his utterance fell decidedly Jlat. There was nothing new in it. It was merely a reaffirmation of his original position. He did say that "further explanation of nny vote that I may register will probably he unnecessary."

Judge Gary read from typewritten copy vlnwly and distinctly. He was perfectly nt ease, the manuscript in .his right hand, was held. steadily without a tremor of the leaves. As head, of. a great steel corporation he hns uncon sciously assimilated some qualities of its product, for he certainly has nerves of steel. There was scattering and brief ap plause when he concluded. A derisive smile played around the lips of sev eral of the labor group. The majority of them sat immobile, showing only a passing interest, nothing nt all like the attention manifested in the Rocke feller address last week. The senti ment in tho group as n whole, is, doubt less expressed in the epigrammatic words of one of their number. "Handed Us a ljcmon" "We hoped that hoyVQJihl. bniyj.its. something new, but" instead he handed us a lemon." There wns one undeniable statement in it.

This is flip messni-p ulih.li Ar t.l..l mond Hunker, head of the Ilelgian mls """ l;i Hie international trade confer ence, brings to the American people. Ilelgium. nfter years of war. has re covered quickest of all the European part icipaiils in the struggle. She has set her affairs in good order nt home. I he independence and industry of the l.elgian people have been more than equal to (lie chims l,.ft behind the re treating German armies. She is now; ready to do business with the world again, bringing to bear on the problems of Hie time the. same liunnclnl wizardry which in prewar i limes ,,,, Holgiuin the banker nation of Europe. And she wants Cncle Nam for her business partner. "Itelgiiim's great desire is to go Into financial partnership with the I'nited Mates. ,n,j Mr. Hanknr todav in nn interview. "That is the simple'nnswer I" all lh- questions concerning the monetary needs nnd wishes of King Al bert s country. Whatever may be done in tins way of large, short -term bank cicdits to the government, or shorter loans to the industrials, the fact re mains that the field fortius most profit able cultivation in future relation he. twee,, Helgium and the I'nited States is that of straight finnneing." Can Conquer Financial World The Itelginiis do not underrate their skill .-mil experience in financial mat ters, nnd argue naively that American millions and Ilelgian astuteness c'an conquer the world of finance. They nre prepared, moreover, to put more than their share of money into the partnership. Helgium todav' is hr no means the beggared country that wc have conceived her to be. "The United States won inlliturT glory, SI. Hanknr continued, "by putting her enormous man-power into harness with Old World strategic .geulus. nnd now with n linnneial I strength of even grcnter nronorlions sh .has qnly to combine with Old World " ' iiuiiiii-i.il KciiiiLs ui iis,urc jirr&ru con tinued power, , (Helgium possesses this genius by reason of experience In foreign fields. Her bankers have intimate knowledge of conditions in nil countries. During Hie fifteen years which preceded the war they exported between .".000,000, 000 and 1. 000.000.11(10 francs in gold to Africa. Russia. China and South Amer ica, exploiting railways, tram lines uud coal mines in these countries. Opportunities Enormous "In the next few jears they con sider the opportunities for exploitation will be enormous and they desire to undertake operations with American aid. Itelgian hankers arc prepared to advance money nNn fur these projects hut what they will chiefly give will be expert advice nnd knowledge." American bankers heartily approve some scheme for Ilelgian finnneing, though thus fur no detailed plan hits been worked out. The Itelgian com mittee will meet the committee of American hankers tomorrow'. The meet ing will he secict. but n report of the deliberations there will he made later to the general session of the confer ence. "The American committee will in clude the best-known ban tiers of the 'cniintrj. from Huston to San Fran cisco and south to New Orleans," said a member of the committee who wns unwilling to Imw his name used in j advance of the joint conference. "In the spring a Ilelgian credit of S,-,0.(IOll.!llll was negotiated between seven!! Itelghiii hankers and nu asso ciation of numeioiis American banks. Ily virtue of this ciedil Ilelgian buyers got the full pun base power of their itiniiej in their dealings with American firms. It saved them from (lie adverse rat ion of foreign exchange. The credit was used for industrial purposes; not for reconstruction' in (lie common meaning of the term. The llelginns bought raw materials i.ud other goods their people needed. If 1,-clgium is en abled to get tlie wherewithal to resume her manufiiitures, the frugal and hard working people of llelgltiin will be well able to take care of reconstruct ion problems themselves. Itelgiiuu hns been first to get on her feet. She has cut; out the foolishness and got down to work. To Establish Export Credits BUSINESSPARTNER "Aside from the question of Hel gium. 1 am Imping that this interna tiom.l conference will result in the es tablishment of ii great volume of ex port credits for European countries. I rather expect that an organization will he formed at the conference to take cine of n large part of the delajls con nected with Mich a project."
