ALLEGED SWINDLER
ONCE PROMOTER HERE

CLEVELAND, AUG. 24-FHfteel.
million dollars in notes and securities
were seized in the Union Trust COM
pany's safety deposit vaults by Fed
eral agents investigating the Cleve-
land activities of Charles w. French,
alleged Chicago swindler arrested
there. The seizure came after Elmer
Gerber, a Cleveland stockbroker, anG
former secretary to French, had
confessed connections with French's
operations and led the department of
justice men to the safety vault.
Charles w. French, accused of swim
ding in connection with John w. Wor-
thington, by throwing untold mill
ions in worthless notes, stolen bonds
and forged deeds of trust on the mar
ket, was an Ell Centre and Imperial
Valley visitor number of years ago
At the time he had his headquarters
in San Diego, and was volunteer
backer of he San Diego and Arizona
railroad, then in the building, and
made trips to the valley with the pro-
jectors of the line. His financial aid
promised never materialized, but he
cut a great swath in San Diego cir
cles fer a number of years, and the
trunks of his wife, who is now there,
were recently seized and searched for
supposedly stolen securities. The
trunks were found to be filled with
newspapers and bricks.

FAMINE DEFEATS BRITISH
PLANS FOR RUSS TRADE
Chancellor Sir Robert S. Horne
Says Soviet Also Is More Anx-
ious to Buy Propaganda.

GLASGOW, Scotland. October 13.-
British plans for trading with Rus
sia have been defeated. it was de-
clared by Sir Robert Stevenson Horne,
chancellor OF the exchequer. in an
address here last night. He said that
this was partly the result of the Rus
sian famine. and could be attributed
in some measure to the fact that Rus
sian extremists had been more anx-
ious 10 spend their gold in propa-
:sanda than in buying goods
Sir Robert disclaimed lack OF SYM
pathy for Russia and asserted he had
tested the loyalty of some OF his
friends by concluding the trade agree
ment with the soviet government. He
added he was prepared to defend that
agreement because re believed the
world would never recover until Rus
sia was again producing grain, and
also because he believed the best way
TO break down bolshevism would be
% penetrate Russia with honest
commercial methods"
Nothing can be gained by sending
goods to Russia" he went on, for
il is perfectly certain the Russians
have nothing to give in exchange.
While they may have accumulated
stocks. they have no means of trans
portation. Sending goods to Russia
at present would mean making gifts
Of them. and Great Britain is not in a
position today to make presents to
any one"

.ong march forward on the pathway
of imperial development"
This assertion was made this after
noon by Winston Spencer Churchill.
secretary for the colonies, in an ad-
lress at the Mansion House. where
L meeting was held in furtherance OF
the project of n British empire ex-
hbition in 1928; The Prince OF Wales
also spoke at the meeting. and urged
hat in order to provide employment
for the needy. work on the exhibit
zion be begun immediately.
Mr.. Churchill declared that the fact
that Great Britain had to purchase
four-fifths of its food and d similar
proportion of raw materials abroad
showed the vital necessity of extend
ing the empires trade.
IF things go as they are now,
declared Mr.. Churchill. sit will be-
ror-e increasingly difficult for us to
purchase what is needed from the
United States or elsewhere"

II. said he was not advocating trade
within the empire to the exclusion of
trade outside, as that would be i'm
possible. In conclusion he said he
believed the trade depression had
passed it's worst point.
