NAN BRITTON TO TELL STORY Plaintiff In Suit For $50,000 Will Testify In Own Behalf Toledo, Ohio, Oct. 30.—(U.R)—Nan Britton was to tell her own story from the witness stand this afternoon without the presence of "thrill seeking" high* school students who were barred by Federal Judge John M. Killits. A temporary adjournment was taken before noon in the trial of Miss Britton's $50,000 libel suit against C. A. Klunk, a Marion, 0., hotel keeper, while opposing counsel conferred with Judge Killits concerning what questions would be asked her when she testified in her own behalf. The conference followed resting ot the case by the defense which sought by comparative passages from Miss Britton's book, "The President’s Daughter,” and another book, "The Answer To The President's Daughter’," to discredit her claims that her daughter is the child of former President Harding. Miss Britton is suing Klunk for distributing copies of “The Answer,” which she claims defamed her. High school students and all minors were barred by Judge Killits in his order. On each of the three previous days the court room has been packed, mostly with women spectators. Judge Killits furthermore threatened to bar all spectators because of the general “spiciness" of the testimony. “The court is not surprised at the showing at this trial but it has been greatly disturbed because much of the interest is prurient and very demoralizing," the judge asserted. “Under a rule, the court could exclude everybody except litigants, attorneys, officers of the court and the jury. This includes the press, if necessary. "We can understand how people of mature age may have an interest in this case which might justify their presence here but not so with the youth. Such persons can get nothing here but impressions destructive of good character." He threatened to cite for contempt any minors who violated his instructions. Judge Killits ordered a conference of attorneys as William Fish Marsteller called Miss Britten, his client, to the stand. The judge interrupted to ask what question was to be asked her. Marsteller displayed a pamphlet entitled “Why Nan Britton wrote 'The President's Daughter'." “Any other questions,” the court asked. “Yes.” Marsteller replied, "but I'll ask them later." Judge Killits announced he preferred all her testimony given at once and ordered the adjournment and conference. Norman White of Monroexfitle visited with friends in this city Thursday evening. Miss Helen Studabaker of Blu fton was an out-of-town guest at the Phi Delt Dance. Mrs. Mabelle Myers and Mrs. Faye Smith Knapp were business visitors in Geneva today.

It was claimed suspension of the ’ gold standard already had initiated an expansion of foreign trade. Whatever the reason, reports ' throughout the country showed a ' decided stimulation of business dur- ’ ing the past few weeks. 1 One significant development came from Liverpool, once one of the world's most prosperous ports which became practically stagnant due to the worlif economic crisis and particularly the slump of cotton and textile trades. A few months ago visitors to Liverpool could see a long line of steamers idle and with little prospect for cargo. A score of idle vessels were getting up steam today, Liverpool reported. loading South Wales coal for export or sailing for Central and South American ports for cargoes. Seventeen vessels also were i recommissioned at Newcastle-on-Tyne, a famous center of British ship building idle for months. Eight thousand more coal miners were working in the British Isles this week than last week. Iron and steel blast furnaces resumed operations in many important midland towns and were working at full capacity at New|>ort. A number of steel plants were reported working overtime for the first time in months. Cotton mills in the Manchester district were reported doing the ’: biggest business in two years. Tin t plate shipments from South Wales were the largest since last Janut i a >-yBirmingham prepared for increased orders for textile machin- ( i ery from Chinese industralists due ( to the Chinese boycott of Japanese textiles. Financial circles shared the optimism of industry on the basis of the national government’s victory. 'New capital was reported circulatling in various investment markets 1 . and an influx of foreign money was . confidently expected. t ) Financiers, encouraged by the prediction of industralists that this 1 Christmas would he fne busiest in . years for all trades, believed the pond sterling was safe from serious depreciation. They expected 5 an early reduction in the bank rate and removal of restriction on deals ing on the stock exchange, t I O’ TWO ENTOMBED MINERS SAVED 'CONTINUED FROM FAGE ONE' i ~ I cated with the entombed men. | Shortly after midnight the res- , cue squad had but six feet to go to reach the missingminers.
