to cry "help, help, as she said he

to go summon neighbors.
Of all witnesses as to t lie man's
condltfon, the woman was tlio least

J. H. Klecker, alleged paramour or
the woman, has established nn alibi.
Police officers declare that Mrs.
Agee's attitude throughout the inves

if innocent she would have been more
solicitous in giving evidence aimed to
convict the slayer of her husband.
She hired nn attorney to protect
herself, apparently assuming her own
guilt, as the district attorney's oH'lee
believes.
The testimony of her cix-year-oid

to her case, when ho testified that-hls

as the widow had Insisted.

By Ralph H. Turner

WASHINGTON. June 18. The ad
ministration is moving toward an
earli adjustment and refunding of
the foreign loans which are owed to
tho United States. Within the short
est possible time these loans, totalling
110.000,000,000 will be placed on a
definite, negotiable basis.
Settlement of the loan question was
the principal topic of discussion at
Ihe cabinet meeting Friday. At the
close of the meeting tho importance
with which the administration views
the subject wa stated upon the high
est authority and an outline given of
the steps which are contemplated in
solution of the problem.
Foreign loan adjustment, as discuss
ed by the cabinet, involves three lead
ing factors tho granting of Increas
ed authority to Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon, negotiations with
the European governments and the
ability of this country to absorb the
loans after they are converted Into
negotiable paper.
Tho loan situation is described as
possessing many aspects. Considera
tion of the subject Friday arose
through Secretary Mellon's request
that he be granted more explicit au
thority In making a settlement but it
has been magnified, on repeated ocea-

Hy United News
PRINCETON, Juno 18. Soldiers
are patrolling the streets of Prince

contains scientific possessions of
great value to prevent further out

tion that America cannot relieve her
domestic depression, or determine
her national fiscal policy, until the
loan situation is adjusted.
All these factors have combined to
stimulate the administration In Its ef
forts to clarify tlio loan muddle.
This will bo done, first, by asking
congress to authorize the secretary ot
Ihe treasury to tako the loans out of
their present Indefinite status and con
vert thorn Into definite obligations.
Tho loans are, at present, In the
I'orm of demuTid, promissory notes,
without any provision for conversion
ind without any specific arrange
ments for payment of Interest or pay
meat of principal at time of maturity,
.Under the Liberty loan acts, Hecre
tary Mellon has the authority, in some
Instances, to convert the loans in'n
negotiable paper, but tills uulhoritN
Joes not extend over all the loans.
With Increased authority bestowed
upon Mellon, It Is expected that direct
negotialions would be opened with the
European governments. No difficulty
Is expected in this quarter, arranging
to convert the loans.
An ugreement with the debtors will
bo followed, under the present tenta
tive program, by actual conversion.
It is the administration's plan now to
transform tho loans Into Jjonds of a
negotiable character, these would be
placed In the world market, but the
business of absorbing them is ex-
peeled lo fall mainly upon the United
Slater. The success of tho plan will
