Mr. Mett expressed himself as being

Charlette te Testify
Charlette Mills, sWteen-year-eld

? rector and his choir singer, were taken
from the basement of the Church of St.
Jehn the Lv'angellst.
Charlete again became one of the
central figures of the case when she
calmly announced last night that "she
knew when the letters were taken."
She refused te say whether she
could give the identity of the person
who hud remeed the letters, but iidde-l
she was anxious te go before the Grand
Jur and amplify her story.
Charlette had net told the prosecutor
n lin time when he questioned her
anything about the letters. She nld
ahe had net been a-ked about them.

uk "the most distinguished citizen of
the great sister republic, France."
"The pcople of the two nations be

Geerge V. Wiekersham introduced
the "Tiger" as one of the greatest citi

there xvlll be no expectation of n great
amount of interchanging of truffle be
tween reads. My conclusion Is that
the transcontinental lines In the North
must have a line through te the South
west or nn open gatexvey."
"Why den t the Western lines help
us te esttmnte just whnt situation would
be precipitated?" Prof. Ripley nsked.
"If you who have the fund of Informa
tion xveuld come te us. distend of leav
ing us te set up consolidation proposals
in necessarily somewhat academic fash
ion it would help."
Attempts had been made, the Bur
lington president added, te get the
Western reads te a joint consideration
of consolidation plans. He said his
suggestion would require that nil four
of the great consolidations in the West
should nave reasonable access te both
regions.
