BY LEAP|NC FROM
n. Y. SkYSCRAPERS

New York, May 23-Suicides, leap.
ing from skyscrapers, today split two
crowds-one on Park row, the other
in Madison Square.
John w. Casteiger Of Brooklyn, a
feed merchant. jumping from an up
per story of the Municipal building
at the entrance to Brooklyn Bridge
struck Samuel d. Jones, who was
taken to the hospital unconscious
with a fractured wrist.
Earlier in the day Frank j. Par.
ry of Patchogue, Long Island. secre-
tary of the New York Tile concern OF
John II. Parry company, leaped
from the Goth story of the Metropoli-
tan tower.
Casteiger was believed to have
gone to the municipal building tc
transact some business with the fire
department, which he supplied with
hay and grain. In his pockets was
found note reading:
Dear Rose and family:
"Forgive me. 1t is for the best
I love you. Dear good friends do not
forget Rose.
John"
The concern with which Parry
was connected last fall was fined
$500 after it had been convicted OF
conspiracy to eliminate competition
as charged by the legislative COM
mittee investigating the building
trust.
John H. Parry who formally
identified his sons body, said, how
ever, he knew of no financial or
other worries which could have led
to suicide. He added that he last
saw his son Sunday when they went
fishing together.
Young Parry left Patchogue this
morning ostensibly on business. His
brother-in-law, Thomas ]. McCabe
was employed in the tower, but he
did not call on him. The police said
that he must have gone straight from
the station to washroom on the
o5th floor and jumped.

Slant on Germany

Paris. May 23-(By A. PA big
loan to Germany or none at all ap-
pears to be the first idea with which
the bankers from many nations now
assembling in Paris for their first
meeting tomorrow are approaching
their work.
Sir Robert Kindersley of England,
NJ Vossering Of Holland and Signor
D'Amelio of Italy were among the
bankers who looked into the offices OF
the Allied reparationS commission to-
day in preparation for tomorroW's
meeting.
A good deal of informal talk is go
ing on between the French and foreign
financiers as to the range of discus
sions and the manner in which the
committee will begin it's work. The
prevailing thought is that the bankers
are not coming together for the pur-
pose of finding investments, as they
all have under consideration at home
moro opportunities for employing
their capital than they have money
If however, by arranging loan to
Germany they can settle the economic
situation in Europe for some years to
come they will attempt it.
Their attitude of mind is described
as a conviction that nothing can be
done with the equivalent of 100000
900 or so00,OO0,00O, and there is no
motive for lending Germany so small
a sum for purely temporary purposes.
Such q sum, it is felt, would be spent
on reparations or in other ways with
in four of five months, leaving a fresh
crisis on the same problems unsettled

SUGGESTS morse
GROUP HUSH CRIES
and STAND TRIAL

Washington, May 23-Martin J. Gill
len, former trustee Of the shipping
boards emergency fleet corporation,
under indictment with Charles W.
Morse and others, should abandon all
obstructive tactics" and submit to a
speedy trial if he feels he has been
unjustly, indicted, Fletcher Dobyns,
special assistant to the attorney gen.
eral declared today in a statement
replying to Gillens published accusa-
ton that testimony favorable to him
was suppressed by Mr.. Dobyns and
General Counsel Elmer Schlcssinger
of the shipping board.
Il have read the summaries which
have appeared in the press of the
statement Of Mr. Martin J. Gillen ad-
dressed to the president, the attorney
general and Others Mr.. Dobyns'
statement said.
when this is taken in connection
with somewhat similar statements is
sued last week by Mr.. Barber and Mr..
Gibboney, there is not the slightest
doubt in my mind that these defend
ants have embarked upon a campaign
whereby they hope to create a public
sentiment hostile to the action of the
government in connection with the
prosecution of this case. The four
Morses have established themselves
| in four separate Jurisdictions, Maine,
Massachusetts. Connecticut and Wash
ington, and are fighting removal pro-
ceedings. Barber and Gibboney, Gill
len and certain other defendants have
filed pleas in abatement and motions
to quash and have resorted to other
dilatory and obstructive tactics. In
the meantime they are flooding the
press with propaganda.
'1f Mr.. Gillen and the other de-
PENDANTS feel that they are unjustly
accused by this indictment then the
simplest thing in the world to do is for
them to abandon all obstructive tao
ties and come at once to court and
jury and have their guilt or inno-
cence determined.
when the pleas in abatement and
motion to quash were being argued in
the federal court in New York on last
Friday, l announced to the court that
I was willing to have this case set
down for trial on June Is or July 1st
or any other date that was agreeable
to the defendants"
