Foreign Chiefs to Confer. A struggle is being waged daily In Berlin among members of the economic and financial committee appointed by the powers which signed the Munich agreement for the settlement of the Czechoslovak-German crisis. Czechoslovak negotiators yesterday rejected Hungarian territorial demands. Hungary threatened to bolt the conference at Komarom on the Czech-Hungarian frontier. Troops on "both sides of the border were ready for hostilities.

Adolf Hitler was reported to have been urged by Slovak delegates to mediate the dispute. Details on page 10.1 Czechoslovakia's new foreign minister, Frantisek Chvalkovsky, who formerly was ambassador to Washington, D. Berlin, and Rome, will arrive in Berlin tomorrow for a conference with Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop. Economic matters will play an important part in their negotiations which will also deal with the question of whether or not a plebiscite is to take place in Sudeten areas. Reichs-fuehrer Hitler also is scheduled to reach here tomorrow and to make the final decision on the plebiscite.

Here's German Argument. Here is the way the Germans figure that Czechoslovakia should give them $43,000,000 in gold: Experts estimate that 3 billion Czechoslovak crowns circulated in the Sudetenland. The Germans ordered that twelve German pfennigs should be paid for every Czechoslovak crown, though the official rate is only 8.75 pfennigs. It would take 360,000,000 marks to pay for the 3 billion crowns. The Czech crowns were covered by 30 per cent of gold, or 108,000,000 gold marks a little more than $43,000,000.

The Czechs contend that if the Germans felt like paying more for the Czech crown than its international value, they must pay the difference. The Germans argue that the Sudetens are entitled to a substantial part of the Czech gold reserve because "it was earned to a great extent by the On the basis of birth records under following self-explanatory letter was erwise an outsider might be necessity of an open portal and elevated structure in State street.

The basis of William Horlick Sidley's belief that his mother was slowly poisoned at the estate of William Perkins Bull was revealed here today. In an affidavit read at a crown hearing young Sidley testified that he had seen Bull give pills to his mother, Mrs. Mabelle Horlick Sidley, Racine, malted milk heiress, who died July 6 at Bull's home. Dr. Herbert A.

Bruce, former lieutenant governor of Ontario, also was quoted at the hearing as saying, two days before Mrs. Sidley died, that Bull "had to be watched." Testimony Bead at Hearing. The hearing, before Justice G. P. McTague, was on an injunction requested to prevent Coroner Smirle Lawson from proceeding with an inquest into the death of the heiress.

Mrs. Sidley's son, one of the five executors of her 52,000,000 estate, has urged Canadian authorities to press the inquest. The four other executors oppose it. Young Sidley's testimony, which was taken last month in Racine by a Canadian court commission, was read at the hearing today by Arthur Slaght, crown counsel. Sidley in his affidavit said that he had seen the pills, the nature of which he could not ascertain, given to his mother about three times a day for a week while he "was at the Bull home, where his mother had been a guest for several months.

Pills Carried in Pocket. The affidavit said that Bull carried the pills, which were round, white tablets, in his vest pocket. They were given to Mrs. Sidley "when Bull thought of it" or "when Mrs. Sidley asked for them," according to young Sidley's statement.

Slaght said he brought forth the evidence in answer to the suggestion that young Sidley had no right to be suspicious about his mother's death. The declaration that Dr. Bruce had said Bull had to be watched was made by D. L. McCarthy Toronto Masterson and Karr ready to face Cardinals Sunday.

What Subways Will Do. The big question in the minds of most traction riders when they learned the project was assured was, What will the subways do for me? The biggest gains will be to the riders of the Northwestern elevated and the Logan Square-Humboldt park branch of the elevated. They will get a ride of two to three miles in the tunnels direct to the center of the loop. Those using the south side elevated will ride in the tubes for eleven or twelve blocks if they are going to center. The immediate gain to the street car rider is nil unless he can use the rapid transit lines on a transfer.

Those riding the Garfield park, Douglas park, and Lake street branches of the elevated will not get subway rides and their only gain will be from the fact that their trains can get around the loop a little faster because many trains then will be going through the tunnels. 150,000 to Use Tubes. It is estimated that approximately 150,000 of the present 250,000 daily users of the elevated will ride in the subways. This is on the basis that each passenger takes two rides a day. The Logan Square-Humboldt park elevated gets the biggest break.

It has a subway all to itself for its 56,000 daily rides. The Northwestern elevated carries about 100,000 riders a day in each direction. Approximately two-thirds of these will go through the State street tube. The rest will be taken over the existing elevated railway line down to Wells street The 39,000 each direction riders of the South side elevated can go into the tunnel at 14th street.
