Of particular interest was the increase of nearly three points in the wholesale commodity list, as shown by Irving Fisher's figures. Trading continued in large volume and the list was sharply higher. Rails again moved ahead, although specialties in the industrials showed the largest advances. Reports from Youngstown show increasing operations 'in the steel industry, with higher price levels for the products.

The first battle was staged in Coney Island court Mrs. Dick whose flrBt name la Sarah, who is described as 27 years old and living at 2921 West Nineteenth street, charged her husband, who Is 85, a salesman, ot 8164 West Nineteenth street with disorderly conduct She alleged he called her names.

M. Atmosphere Tense as Interna tional Delegates, Including Americans, Hold First Session. (Br Unite Preu.) GENEVA. Nov. 17.

The atmosphere was tense when the International conference to suppress traffic in opium, cocaine end harmful drugs convened et noon to-day with a. strong American delegation present. A bitter dispute between delegates of Japan and England' at a different conference, one for suppression of opium smoking in the Far East, nearly disrupted the latter parley yesterday and serious fear were entertained that Its effects might be noted o-day. Not only waa the League of Nations, under whose auspices both conferences were held, declared to be facing- its gravest crisis since the Corfu incident, but European delegates were fearful over what might be the effect of the row upon the American representatives. The latter.

Representative 8tephen Porter, Bishop Brent, Assistant Burgeon-General Blue, Mrs. Hamilton Wright and Edwin L. Neville, were expected to enter the conference with a clean-cut American programme and to push it for all they were worth. Forty-eight States participated the parley which was convened at 10 o'clock. The United States was expected to play the leading role and her decision- to be the dominant factor in the deliberations, despite the fact that the Treaty of Versailles entrusted control of international opium traffiirto the League of Nations.

What effect, the Anglo-Japanese trouble would have was problem' atlnal. This occurred yesterday when i suppression of opium smoking In tne Far East was discussed. The Jawnese delegation precipitated an international quarrel by refusing to sign a proposed agreement or the ground that Japan was being discriminated asainst. A spokesman denounced Britain's refusal to accept Japanese certificates In connection with the importation of opium and charged mercenary aims on the part of England. British delegates heatedly refuted the Japanese charges and defended Sir Malcolm Delevlgne.

Considerable Interest was manifested to-day In downtown political and legal circles over the concurrent resolution which comes up before the new 1925 Legislature seeking to lengthen the terms of Kings County Court Judges and the County Court judges in other counties from six years to fourteen years.

The resolution has already passed the 1921 Legislature, and a special effort, It has been learned, will be made to submit it to the new Legislature early enough to have it go to the people to be voted upon In the 1926 November election. There may be some opposition to the resolution when it comes up again. Certain lawyers In Brooklyn who are opposed to salary raising bills, it is said, will oppose the measure. The resolution, they declare, will prove to be more far-reaching than It appears upon the face of It If the voters put their stamp of approval upon it Some of them go ao far as to call it a "salary raising grab." If It is successful, it is declared. It will be the first step in raising the salaries of the county Judges, putting them In the same class with Supreme Court Justices, both In salary and tbe length of term of their offices.

Bill Equalize Salaries. In Bronx County, it waa pointed out, tne oacxers of the resoutlon did not wait until the passage ot the resolution, but beat out the other counties by having a bill rushed through the 1924 Legislature making me pay or tne county 'Judges in Bronx County the same as the lus- tlces of the Supreme Court and the Judges of the General Sessions Court In New York County. This bill was Introduced by Senator Henry G. Shackno, from the Twenty-first district, Manhattan. Shackno.

who became chtirman of tne senate Judiciary committee after the election to the Supreme Court bench of Sentor Salvatore A. Cotlllo, and who was active in having the resolution pass the Senate this year. It was learned to-day, will be appointed a county Judge of Bronx County, to fill the vacancy caused by the elevation of County Court Judge Louis D. Glbbs to the Supreme Court at the last election. The resolution which adds a new section to the county law makes the salary of Bronx- Court Judges the "same as the salary of General Ses sions Judges In New York," which Is 117,600 per annum.

This salary will be made up, it Is said, by allowing the County Court judges of Bronx County 114,000 salary and for their services in "picking Jurors." Would Extend Terms. The resolution seeking to extend the term of the county court Judges from six years to fourteen years will also include the Judges, of Bronx County if it prevails. While Kings County and other county judges win not benefit under the Bronx County salary raising law. It is declared that as soon as the resolution is successful another bill making the salaries of all county Judges equal will be introduced. Such a bill, it is believed, will surely pass as it would be unfair to discriminate in salaries of the Judges, particularly in big counties like Kings and New York.

It the resolution should prevail before the people, it Is also said, the county judges elected at the recent elctlon would able to enjoy the new salary and the new lengthening out of their terms to fourteen year Senator Scbackno was re-electei at the recent election, but it was sail definitely to-day that he will resign a soon as he is sure he will be appointed to fill the vacancy created by the elevation of Judge Glbbs. Woman Charges Sea Gate Merchant Grew Cold After Loan Was Refused. A suit for $100,000 for alleged breach of promise was brought by Miss Amelia Rtchter, of Sea Gate, Coney Island, against Morris, Saal, a. butter and egg merchant, before Justice May and a Jury la the Brook, lyn Supreme Court to-day.

Charging that both his wife and her mother had deceived him as to his wife's physical fitness for matrimony before their 'marriage, that his wife was disloyal to the United States and suffered from epilepsy. Lieut Holland Comfort, attached to the Brooklyn Navy Yard and former Naval aide to President Wilson, brought suit for annulment his marriage to Mrs. Helen Comfort In the Supreme Court to-day before Justice Hagarty, According to Lieut. Comfort, he had been told by his mother-in-law before marriage that her daughter's fainting spells Were due to an operation and were of little consequence. He declared that, after their marriage In Nov.

11, 1919, she often had fits ot epilepsy lasting forty-five minutes. In November, 1922, he claims, he became convinced that she suffered from epilepsy. He charged that, Mrs. Comfort had confessed to his sister or having torn down and spit upon an American flag at her father's home abroad. According to Comfort, her German birth and her disloyalty to the United States do not fit her to be an officer's wife.

Mrs. Comfort denied all the charges, her lawyer, William M. Butler, producing the flag In question in court to offset Mr. Comforts charges that the flag had been abused. During Comfort's cross-examination, Butler read excerpts from Comfort's letters to his wife's relatives saying that "Helen had been a wonderful help" to him in Washington society and elsewhere.

One of the excerpts from a letter dated 1921, which read, "I'd like to mash J. face for what he did me." brought on a shout of laughter when Comfort confessed that J. D. stood for Josephus Daniels, ex-Secretary cf the Navy. Comfort was attached to the White House In 1119 as a naval aide.

The Comforts have one child, George Francis Comfort, born June 11, 19,22. The case will be continued Orders 1. 1. T. to Improve Service (Continued from First Page.) the following presented, by Chairman McAneny.

a-(! Expresses in Brooklyn. In making the order Chairman McAneny of the commission says of the Brooklyn improvement: "The first proDiem approacneu was with respect to the possibility of full utilisation, of the four tracks of the Eastern Parkway Una in Brooklyn, and the institution of a through express service on two of these tracks at present not in use, as far east as Utica avenue. The Eastern Parkway line was designed and constructed for both express ana local service, oui since Its initial operation in 1920, because of car scarcity, local service only has been provided. It has been the desire of the commission that the ex press tracks be putat least to partial use air the earliest possible time. Mode of Operatlou, "At the present time during the rush hours all expresses dispatcnea south, upon the company's East Side trunk line in operate- to Brooklyn and turn back at Atlantic avenue.

The expresses upon the company's West Side trunk- line, with the exception ot a nine-minute headway operating to South Ferry, are continued through the Clark street tunnel to Utlca avenue. Flat-bush avenue and Pennsylvania avenue, as the case may be, on the Eastern Parkway line, making local stops beyond Atlantic avenue. The East Side trains are run upon the two center tracks into the Atlantic avenue station, and the West Side trains, upon the two outside tracks. The traffic experts of the commission originally advocated the operation of one-half of the East Side trains through Atlantic avenue, as expresses to Utlca avenue, ana the. turning back of the remaining one-half at Atlantic avenue.

Would Block Headway. V- "The advantages urged for this plan were that. In addition to providing express service through and past Atlantic avenue. It would eliminate a large amount of transferring from east to west side trains at the' Atlantic avenue and Nevlns street stations both of which, at the present time, are much congested. Buch a plan.

It appeared, would require the use ot forty additional "It was opposed by the company, on the ground 'that a dangerous operating condition would be created in the effort to turn back the east side trains at Atlantic avenue Inns- much as trains bound In opposite directions would necessarily be. run upon a single track. Testimony was taken to the effect that under such a plan there would be considerable risk of collisions with disastrous results. To this warvkrl naturally. proper consideration must be given.

No Express Scrvic "I am. however, sufficiently Impressed by the testimony given by experts for the company, and accepted by those of the to the effect that the proposed crossover of trains, with attendant station stop and turning back, could not be carried out In the two minutes at present allowed to maintain the operating Interval between trains. The. testimony Indicated that undw the altered plan of operation sug gested, a- minimum of two minutes and forty seconds in actual time would be thus required. In other words, the number of express trains that could be operated back to Manhattan during the rush hours would be reduced twenty-five per cent "It is, of course, recognised as ot the utmost importance that the present two-mlnuti.

intervals between the rush hour trains be maintained, (n view of the testimony taken, am not therefore disposed to recommend at this time that -the express service easterly of Atlantic avenue be operated. The objections raised by the company would, of course, be successfully overcome If all the trains, instead of half of them, were operated through to Utlca avenue, but this would require a greater number of cars than the present new deliveries, in view of omer necessities of the system, would provide. Alternative Plan. "The comnanr suri-eateri alternative plan for the relief of the nrooKiyn service, the allocation to the Manhattan-Brooklyn West Side express service of seventy of the additional cars, and the operation of the West Side trains through to latoush, Utica or Pennsylvania ave- nues, as the case may be. without amy turning back at South Ferry, at present, during the rush hours.

unaer tnis plan there would be secured an Increase of the hauling capacity of some twenty-five to thirty per ent. throughout the full distance between Chambers street, Manhattan, and Utica avenue, Brooklyn, and of about thirty-three per cent, beyond Utlca avenue to New Lots road. 1 "This plan, in my opinion, has these essential elements of relief, to wit: the operation of additional trains, during rush hours, ever perhaps the most congested portions of the company's ines, and the resultant easing of the general situation, upon both trains and platforms, throughout the length of the company's Brooklyn Such relief would be more substantial, and would benefit a far greater number of daily riders, than would a mere substitution of express for local service on part ot the line, benefiting only those at present carried within the same areas. "For these and other reasons set forth. I recommend that the matter of additional service on the Eastern Parkway line be met, for the present, through -directing the company to operate all of the proposed additional through trains on its Manhattan-Brooklyn West Bide express service through to the Eastern Parkway terminals.
