Chicago Man Held

Last November.

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire
Chicago, Aug. 4,-Alva Harsch,
man and John ]. Epps, indicted with
John w. Worthington in the alleged
gigantic mail robbery trust, surren'
dered today to federal authorities
Melville Reeves, known as the SKY
scraper burglar" is reported on his
way to Chicago to surrender. He
has been spending his vacation in
the Sierra mountains and is motoring
back.
Colonel Clinnin of the district at
torney's office, said the government
had positive proof that Worthing.
ton and his gang were connected
with the Dearborn street station mail
robbery here in which $350,0O0 in Lib
erty bonds were stolen. big Tim
Murphy, president of the Gas House
Workers union, has been identified
positively as the field general who
directed that robbery.
The government says it also has
proof that Worthington was the
brains" back of the $3,000,000 Sim
clair oil stock robbery in Chicago
and the $3,500,000 mail robbery at
Council Bluffs, Ia, November IS.
Epps is a real estate man and was
a defendant in the 100000 Toledo
mail robbery, but was acquitted. 1t is
thought he had substantiated the
government information that Worth
ington financed the defense of the II
men arrested for the Toledo job.
Samuel Block, who defended Epps at
that time, is also Worthington's at
torney.
Harschman Bail Reduced.
Harschman denied any guilt in
connection with Worthington and
after he had been closely questioned
by federal attorneys, his bail was
reduced from $4,000 to $1,000. He
says his dealings with Worthington
were confined to the purchase Of
some commercial paper for which
he paid $4,000 cash. Harschman
had been living in Milwaukee until
recently and says he came to Chicago
to give his children superior educa-
tional facilities. The government
now considers him in the light of
witness rather than a defendant.
Federal investigators announced
that they believed Worthington and
his agents have sent millions in de-
posts to banks in Berlin, Paris,

Substitute
For Norris
Bill Passed
Senate Adopts Administration
Plan for Supplying Aid for
Expectation of Agricul.
tural Products.
Measure Sent to House

by Inc ASSOclhteu ITess.
Washington, Aug. 4-Another
farmers relief measure, the admins
tration plan for government aid in
supplying credit for expectation OF
agricultural products, was passed by
the senate today and sent to the
house.
The bill was substitute for the
original Norris bill and provides for
the war finance corporation to furnish
export credits. The Norris bill
which proposed new government
credit organization, was laid aside,
and the substitute, in charge of SEN
ator McNary, republican, Oregon,
for the agricultural committee, was
passed without roll call.
Original Draft Adopted.
The substitute was drafted by Sec
retary Hoover and Director Meyer
of the war finance corporation. 1t
was adopted virtually intact, the bill
authorizing the war finance corpora
ton to make loans to agricultural
associations, banks and trust compa-
nies. The bill makes no change in
the corporations cash capital of $780,
100000, but reduces from $3,0O0,000,-
900 to $2,000,000,000 the authorized
maximum of bonds it may issue.
Through loans to banks on agri-
cultural collateral it is said that the
bills influence will be mostly felt by
expansion of credit available to farm
erS.
Riders Rejected.
The senate rejected riders Of west
ern senators to extend privileges of
the federal farm loan system to en-
trymen on government reclama-
ton projects. Assurances for future
action in a separate bill, however,
were given.
Senator Norris, republican, Nebras-
ka, chairman of the agriculture COM
mittee, who initiated the credits leg
islation and who collapsed a week
ago after a speech criticizing the sub
stitute, was not present for the vote
today. He left tonight for vaca
ton in an effort to regain his health.

Text Of Letter.

Attorney General Davis, in asking
the Douglas county district judge
to impanel special grand jury t.
investigate cases of corporate mis-
management in Omaha, condemn
business and others prominent il
the community who have permitted
their names to be used to cloal
fraud and deceit. He laments th'
lack of state authority to supervise
such corporations, prior to 1921, ane
points out that all of the companie:
now in trouble were licensed to dc
business under the law of 1917, be-
fore the present state administra
ton.
The letter follows: ,
"My Dear Judge Troup:
II am directing this letter to yor
as the presiding judge OF the district
court for Douglas county, Nebraska
"For several months past rumors
and heresay reports have been rife
that the officers of certain Omaha
corporations have been guilty of GER
tain frauds, embezzlements and mis-
application of corporate funds. The
investigation which has been quietly
under way for months by the depart
ment of trade and commerce and the
assistant attorney general have been
reduced to final reports of auditors
''The making of such an investiga-
ton is beset with difficulties little
realized by the uninformed. Under
the Nebraska law neither the attor-
ney general nor the county attorney
has power to compel witnesses to
testify prior to, the filing of CON-
plant.
Information Concealed. -.
Furthermore, contrary TO the
popular conception, neither the state
nor any of its departments have the
power to examine or investigate the
management of corporations, except
banks and insurance companies. No
state in the union has ever under
taken systematic examination and
control of ordinary corporations,
both because of the enormous ex-
pense involved and because of the
heavy burden thus laid upon busi-
ness. The only information avail
able to US has therefore been from
private sources or from the directors
of the companies themselves, or from
the receiver in case of insolvency. In
practically every case where pro-
motion enterprise has failed / have
Immediately communicated with the
receiver and have. been informed
that there was little basis for
criminal action. Later reports of
the auditors have, however, brought
me to contrary conclusion.
"Some uninformed sources have
been inclined to feel that the state
bureau should have prevented these
failures. You and l are aware that
the securities act, (blue sky law)
never gave this bureau any Jurisdic-
ton whatever over officers, policy
or management except over the sale
of stock. When the stock was sold,
powers of the bureau were ended;
il fact. the failure of the legislature
of 1917 to invest the bureau with
'follow-up power to supervise
management was the greatest defect
in the law. This follow-up power
to examine companies, to investigate
their affairs, was placed in the law
at the last legislative session in bills
drawn by my department. 1t is
perhaps not amiss to say that not a
single one of the dozen companies
whose failures are responsible for
the present agitation were chartered
or licensed to sell their stock by the
present state administration, and
that all of them received their au-
