The defalcations of Alfred Z. Far

| Utrecht branch of the Irving National
Bank. who pleaded guilty two weeks
ago to having stolen S1,400 of the
banks money, amounted to consider

Peter J. Brancato declared yesterday
in the United States District Court in
, Brooklyn.
Assistant District Attorney Brancato
( also charged that Farrell used the
money he appropriated to finance an
extensive bootlegging business in
Brooklyn. In being able to conceal his
srecuiations. Farrell, according to the
, Assistant District Attorney, must have
had assistance. He said there was
nothing to indicate that any other en-
ployee Of the bank was involved, but
that it was apparent Farrell was not
telling all he knew.
These new features in the case were
unexpectedly revealed yesterday be-
fore Judge Garvin, when Farrell came

Farrell was remanded after counsel
for the Mansfield Transportation Com
pany, of which he was president, said
that he would be needed as a witness
III bankruptcy proceedings in connec-
tion with that concern.
The fact that the Assistant District
Attorney was convinced that FarrelPs
defalcations were greatly in excess of
the sum mentioned in the charge to
was concerned in illicit liquor traffic,
came out when Charles Russell, coun-
sci for Farrell, asked if Mr.. Brancato
thought the defendant would attempt
to get away if continued on BAIL
Ruse Is Suspected
Assistant District Attorney Brancato
replied he believed Farrell would take
advantage of an opportunity to disap-
pear He added that it was his opin-
ion the Bankruptcy proceedings in con-
nection with the transportation COM
pany were not begun in good faith, and
that it was an attempt to get the de-
fendant out on bail
Farrell will not give any further in

refuses to reveal who his accomplices

old, formerly lived at 239 McDonough

The president of the Labor Union As

The fight spread until 5000 persons

ALBANY, June 20.-The Appellate
Division, Third Department, in session
here to-day upheld the constitutionality
of the state soldier bonus act. The
case now goes to the Court of Appeals
for final determination. The high
court does not begin it's midsummer
session until July 10, but it is under
stood Governor Miller will call spe-
cial term of the court and that it may
meet IN Albany next Monday.
The decision reached by the Appel
late Division directs the Westchester
National Bank, of Peekskill, to carry
out the contract it entered into on
June when it submitted a bid to the
State Comptroller for $4,000 worth Of
state soldier bonus bonds at par. The
Did was accepted by the Comptroller,
but the bank refused to take the bonds
on the ground that it was open to
question whether the act authorizing
their issuance was constitutional. This
formed the basis of friendly suit
which enabled the Comptroller to
bring action and thus provided an op-
portunity to have the courts pass upon
the validity of the bonus act.
Record time was made by the Appel
late Division in disposing of the case.
The decision was handed down three
hours after argument began. The
court. which sas in special term at the
request of Governor Miller. did not
submit an opinion, but merely issued a
pro forma decision directing the West
chester National Bank to carry out its
contract with the State Comptroller.

LONDON, June 90 Premier
Lloyd George declared publicly to-
day for the first time that "Great
Britain is ready to discuss with
American statesmen any proposal
for the limitation of armaments
which they may set FORTH" and as
serted cooperation with America to
be cardinal principle of British
policy.
The Premier's declaration came in
his address opening the conference
of the premiers of Britain's overseas
dominions, 1t accompanied the Pre-
mier's statement that Great Britain
desired to renew the Anglo-Japanese
treaty and that sea power was nee
essary to the empires existence.
For Equal Rights
To-day's session took place in
Downing Street, as will others of the
preliminary meetings, but the real
work of the conference, which will
take up week or two, probably will
be held at ST. James,s Palace.
In his pronouncement for a re-
newal of the Anglo-Japanese treaty,
the Premier referred to the valuable
aid Japan had rendered in trans
porting Australian and New Zea-
land troops to Europe during the
war, and said:
I'VE desire to renew that we'll
tried friendship which has stood US
both in such good stead and apply
it to the solution of all questions of
the Far East, where Japan has spe-
cial interests and where we our
selves, like America, desire equal op-
portunities and the open door"
Mr.. Lloyd George applauded the de-
ciaion of Canada to place a minister
in Washington and promised the CO.
operation of the parent government
Referring again to the Japanese treaty.
tre Premier said3:
Look Confidently to America
W. look confidently to the govern
n.ent ana the people of the United
States tor sympathy and understand
ing in this respect. Friendly CO.
operation with America is cardinal
principle, dictated by instinct as much
as by reason and common sense. We
desire to work with this great repub-
lie in all parts of the world
In his opening address the Premier
was not specific in regard to the pre-
else manner in which the treaty would
be accommodated to American opinion,
saying that Lord Curzon, the Foreign
Secretary, would give detailed survey
OF foreign affairs when he returned
from Paris. 1t seems probable, from
hints in the Premier's speech, that an
arrangement viii be sought regarding
the future of China.
Mr.. Lloyd Georges speech bristled
with epigrams such as "The British
Empire is the saving fact in very
distracted world; the most hopeful ex-
pertinent in human organization the
world has even seen"
The Premier's reference to the will
ingness of Great Britain TO discuss
disarmament with the United States
was brief but convincing He pointed
out that Great Britain desired to avoid
competition of ornaments in the
Pacific, but could not sacrifice her sea
power,
"The very life of the United King
dom,' he said, "as well as that OF
Australia and New Zealand, is built on
sea power and that sea power is nee
essarily the basis of the whole empires
existence"

Of the government are now understood
TO be making an effort to unravel the

Secretary Hoover refused tonight to
express his opinion OF the reports COM

however, said they believed that rep
