ADVOCATED BY FRANCE
TO PAY REPARATIONS
international Committee Suggested to Take Hold
of Economic Phase in Effort to Put
Country on Solid Footing.

Paris, Oct. 20.-(By The Associated
Press. s.)-Complete and rigid control
of all German finances, power to veto
the expenditures and regulate taxation

ment of budgets of the various Ger

DIVISION Of PROFIT
INST0CK DEFENDED
BY TREASURY Chief
400 Per Cent Stock Dividend of
Standard Oil Not Illegal,
He Says.

Washington, Oct. 20.-Secretary
Mellon, replying Friday night to a
letter from Representative Frear, of
Wisconsin, republican member of the
house ways and means committee, de-
clared there had been and will be no
laxity on the part of the treasury in
invoking section 900 of the last rev.
enue act, which Mr.. Frear described
as providing methods 'for reaching the
holders of surplus stock when held for
the purpose of evading taxation
Mr.. Frear referred in his letter to
reports that the Standard Oil company
of New Jersey would issue a 400 per
cent stock dividend and announced his
intention of leading a fight to make
income tax returns public in order, as
he said, to close up escape sluice-
ways"
Mr.. Mellon declared, however, with
particular reference to the company
mentioned by Mr.. Frear, that Section
220 had no relation to such dividend
declarations. He added that 1T would
seem" that Mr.. Frear was under a
misapprehension concerning the situa-
ton as to this so-caDed stock d1vt-
dend."
"In case of this company (Standard
Oil Company of New Jersey" the
letter continued, "the commissioner OF
internal revenue found no evidence OF
the accumulation of surplus beyond the
reasonable needs of the business"
The treasury secretary also stated
that ct is not practical in any active
business" to divide all of the net earn
ings among the stockholders. If part
of the earnings were not put back into
the business, he declared, there would
be no industrial growth.

REPORTED IN
DUAL MURDER
Hall Home Guarded by
State Troopers; Eye
Witness" Discovered.
Extreme Secrecy Covers
Acts of Prosecutors;
Death Clothing Shown

New Brunswick, Oct. 20.--On the
heels of unconfirmed reports that the
grand jury of Somerset county Friday
had returned an indictment in the Hall
Mills murder mystery, the investiga-
ton was given a sensational twist Fri
day night when it was officially learned
that an eye witness to the double
shooting, woman of reputable char
acter in New Brunswick, had been dis
covered.
| The interjection of this new phase
in the already greatly complicated
case, was said to have been respon-
Sible for the sudden turn in the activity
of Prosecutor Azariah Beekman, who
appeared before the grand jury at
Somerville.
Not Positively Identified
The only handicap now retarding the
climax, was said to be the problem
of positive Identification by the newly
found witness, as more than one per-
son is said to have taken part in the
murders.
The home of Mrs. Frances Stevens
Hall. widow of the slain rector, is
vigilantly guarded by state troopers
and all attempts te communicate with
the house by telephone have been un-
successful.
Prosecutor Beekman refused even to
intimate the grand jury had taken up
the murder mystery and refused the
slightest information, saying that all
grand jury proceedings were absolutely
secret and that any reports supposedly
coming from his office were unauthor-
lied. He said, however, that satisfac-
tory progress was being made in the
investigation.
Reporters See Death Clothes
For the first time since the bodies
of the rector and his choir singer were
discovered, Prosecutor Beekman and
County Detective George Totten Fri
day permitted newspaper men to see
the clothing both wore when they were
killed.
Reports that the rector's coat had
been ripped in the back were found
to be false, there being only two small
holes in the back of the coat between
the shoulders which may have been
caused by dragging the body to the
spot where it was found. He wore
no waistcoat and had on a business
mans collar instead of his customary
clerical collar, a white tie and a
Panama hat. The collar and tie were
bloodstained.
Mrs. Mills wore a dark blue lawn
dress with red polka dots, which was
bloodstained above the waist, and
blue underskirt.

HAMMER MURDER
TRIAL UNDER WAY.
ACCUSED IS CALM
Mrs. Phillips to Take Witness
Stand on Own De-
fenSe.

Los Angeles, Oct. 20.--Mrs. Clara
Phillips, defendant in what is known
as the hammer murder" case, which
opened in superior court here Friday,
will testify in her own behalf, 1t was
announced by her attorney. Bert Her
rington. The announcement came as a
surprise to the prosecution, and it was
anticipated that defense of insanity
would be made.
Mrs. Phillips is charged with having
beaten Mrs. Alberta Meadows, a young
widow, to death with a hammer last
July.
Mr.. Harrington declined to make
known the exact nature of the defense.
but he intimated that 1t would be the
"unwritten law"
The progress in selecting the jury
was rapid Friday, and attorneys said
the taking of testimony would begin
next week.
The defense used six of its 20
peremptory challenges and the prose-
cution four. A few veniremen were
excused because they objected to the
infliction of the death penalty or had
formed opinions concerning the case.
Mrs. Phillips, former chorus girl,
smiled as she walked into the court
room at the opening of her trial and
posed willingly for newspaper photog-
raphers AS the day wore on, she
showed increasing signs of the nery-
GUS strain she was undergoing. When
court adjourned her husband, Armour
Phillips, who first told the officers of
the staying, and her sister, Miss Ada
Weaver, of Waco, Texas, hurried to
the counsel table to greet the defend
ant. As she kissed the two, Mrs,
Phillips shed her first tear since her
arrest at Tucson, Arizona, a few days
after the killing. She did not sob
audibly, but she made no attempt to
conceal the tears.
The task of completing the jury will
he resumed Monday.

STATE NEEDS BIG
MEN, TREC0E TELLS
CREDIT GATHERING
100 Business Men of Montana
Gather at Butte for Con-
venti0n.
(Trlbune's Helena Bureau)

Helena, Oct 20-Montana business
men, largely from Helena but including
many from Butte, Great Falls, Bill
hngs and other of the principal points
in the state to the number of about
100, gathered at a banquet in the
Placer hotel Friday evening in con
nection with the second annual state
conference of the Credit Men Of Mon
tana to listen to an address by J. II.
Tregoe, of New York, secretary of the
National Association of Credit Men.
Following an excellent spread, dur
ing which musical numbers were
given by a quintet of male singers
and by an orchestra, addresses were
given by L. Q. Shelton, state super
intendent of banks, and by Mr.. Tregoe,
with r. o. Kaufman of Helena as
POSTMASTER.
Mr.. Shelton, who spoke first. de-
voted his talk to the agricultural de
velopment of Montana, the part which
the banks had played in this develop
ment, the financial and agricultural
depression through which the state
had passed and in impressing upon his
hearers the need of economy and thrift
to bring the state back to a normal
condition.
Mr.. Tregoe followed and concluded
the banquet program with an in
tensely interesting and eloquent ad-
dress in which he injected national and
international affairs and problems
along with occasional references to
the business of credits and the part
stabilizing of the business affairs of
nations.
Tells of National Body
He first told of the organization of
the National Association of Credit
Men, which was created in 1896 at a
meeting of about 100 men in Toledo,
following the great panic of 1893, and
said this organization had increased in
numbers and influence until it, at the
peak Of its prosperity, had a mem
bership of $4,000.
He said the finest thing the associ-
alton had done was to put religion
into business and that it was the only
organization that had written canons
of ethics, it having 13 canons on
character.
He explained, however, that I'VE
are past the credit management de-
gree. How many of you are willing
to become credit engineers? What we
want is men who can construct
credits. Credit engineering means col
lection-the ability to build credits.
Our first duty is to build men. One
of the most dangerous things facing
this government is reorganization.
/ never heard of so many organiza-
tons as we have today. The period
of organization started in the eighties.
The danger of organization is that it
subordinates the individual and the in
dividual uses organization as CLOAK
for his defense.
I'VE look to Washington, and the
Calhouns and the Blaines have dis
appeared and the men we see there
now merely areSrepresentatives of the
organization.
Big Men Needed.
Montana, with all your great dis
tances, you will never be big if you
have not the men and you might as
well be lifted off the map if you have
not the men who are big enough to
make you big"
Mr.. Tregoe then drifted into world
matters and insisted that the country

Whliamsport, Ind, Oct. 20.-Beleir
was expressed Friday that the re-
moval of rail caused the wreck on

night, causing the death of three per
sons, the injury of seven others and the
burning of seven coaches.

The conductor said the rail was not

Meaning Brother Emil.
For while Brother Bob Is pining
on the pine bench with the Yam
kee team, Emil, with the Giants,
has started off his season with a
bang--a four-base one, in fact.
Emil broke into the limelight in
the first game with a home run
off Dutch Reuther.
Emil, affectionately termed
Irish," is, like his brother. a ma
tive of Oakland, Calf. He was
born June ., 1894. Fresno club
in the California league gave him
his start in 1913. but lost him early
that season via the draft, Los An
geles grabbing him. That fall the
Washington club got him the same
way and then farmed him out to
the Elmira club. He was recalled,
sent to the Minneapolis Millers,
then to the Los Angeles club and
then back to Elmira. Then the
Mats hold on him was lost and
Elmira let him go to Birmingham.
The Cubs drafted him in 1916, only
to release him back to the An
geles. Once more he got caught in
the draft, this time by the Phillles
He played with the Phillies until
McGraw gave them bunch OF
dough and two players for him.
He has made good with a VEN
geance with the Giants.
