NATIONAL EXCHANGE BUCKETING CHARGED
Clerk Testifies Institution Executed
 No Orders

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-Charges that the national cotton and grain exchange of this city had no facilities for executing orders, but was merely a meeting place for brokers who matched their order slips to avoid de- livery of either cotton or money, were made today by a bankruptcy hearing by Ben Spicker. 22-year- old margin clerk for Scott, Norris x Co. cotton brokerage house, which failed for $1,000.000 on November 16.
 Scott, Norris & Co.,, said to be the largest odd lot cotton house in the world and principal member of the national exchange, opicker testified, never actually bought or sold a bale of cotton. Every order of the 4000 normally received each day, he de- clared, was bucketed.
 The company obtained its quota tions from members of the New York cotton exchange with whom it had accounts, said Spicker.
 When a customers order nd mar gin were entered on the books" he testified, "the price at which the customer would be wiped out would he noted beside the account. Then each day some of the customers would be closed out on the low price of the day. A telegram would be sent to the customer, notifying him that his cotton had been sold by inarginS.'"

WANT DEMOCRAT |C MEET FOR CHICAGO
Brennan, Assured Of Finan- ciaI Backing, Says He Will
 Get The Convention

CHICAGO, Dec. 21-(By Associated Press.) .)-After receiving what he re- garded as most satisfactory assur- ances of the necessary financial back ing needed for the holding of the democratic national convention in Chicago next year, George Brennan, Illinois democratic leader, said today that he would get the convention.
 Local democratic leaders, while de siring to make strong bid for Chi cago as host to the dem ocratic meet ing. nevertheless had been without certainty that Chicago was ready to finance the national convention of their party. MT. Upham had said at Washington, when the republican na- tional committee met. that he was Chicagoan and since the republicans would not meet there he would be ready to turn the financial support offered by Chicago business interests over to the democrats in order to bring another big convention to Chi cago.
 When he promised to make good that pledge today. Messrs. Brennan and Hurley were so jubilant that MT. Brennan declared he would go out and "get" the convention for Chicago. He is close to Charels Murphy of New York and Thomas Taggert of Indi ana democratic national leaders. While New York has been known as a strong contender for the conven- tion and St. Louis also is said to have made a strong bid. MT Brennan believes the other democratic leaders will flock to the support of Chicago when they learn this city will finance the convention.

EEK LEADERS HOLD CONFERENCE
PIaStiras Makes Efforts To Ascertain Strength Of
 Groups Before Assembly

ATHENS, Dec. 21-Co1one1 Plasti- ras of the revolutionary committee conferred today with the chiefs of the various political groups in an effort to ascertain their relative strength before the meeting of the newly elected national assembly, which has been convoked for Janu- ary 9.
 The present alignment shows the liberals to be claiming PA deputies and the republicans IFS of the total of 402 seats, but owing to the fact that many candidates in the recent election ran under both the liberal and the republican banners they are now claimed by both sides, and the actual lineup cannot be determined with certainty before the assembly meets and proceeds with the election of it's President and speaker
 Meanwhile, the republicans. fear ing a compromise on the subject of the future regime in the assembly. are in favor of forcing the revolu-- tionary governments resignation and seizing the reins themselves. thus assuring a republic.
 The liberals have all along favored retention of the dynasty with linn ited powers and the establishment of republic only in case a large plebiscite to take place after thorough discussion in the assembly. By forcing out the King the re- publicans are charged by their op- ponents with breaking a election pledge that there would be no change of government until after the meeting of the new assembly.

HUNT FOR KORETZ CONTINUES KEEN
One Belief Is That Alleged SWindler Is Disguised As
 Woman In Chicago

CHICAGO, Dec. 21.-(By Associ- ated Press.) .)-While court investiga- tions were being made into the ram ifications of the alleged million dollar swindle of Leo koretz, police kept up their search for the missing g man with continued expressions ol confidence Of his arrest within a short time.
 What was believed to be tang was discarded by police today after Louis Grollman, who had announced he had a client who offered to de- liver Koretz for $25,000, testified before Referee in Bankruptcy Harry Parkin. that the tip came from Al Sarran, real estate broker, who be- lieved Koretz might be" in New York.
 T took 1t as something of a joke,' Grollman said.
 Attorneys for the Chicago Title and Trust company, acting as re- cever of the tangled assets left by Koretz, clashed today with district attorneys over the ownership of a s3,000 stock of liquor left behind in Koretz's office vault.
 Assistant District Attorney Will liam F. Waugh challenged the trust company to prove that the missing man was legal owner of the liquor.
 Police are holding two theories as to Koretz' whereabouts. On one theory that he may still be in hid police there to aid them in search ing for him. Another, that he is hiding in Chicago disguised in wom- ems clothing, is being run down here.

 Be Subject

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Dec. 21.- Charges of modernism launched against pr. J. W. Shaekford, eXecu- tive secretary of the general Sunday school board of the southern Metho- dist church. and l.. A.

 Dr. Shackford is in Cincinnati and could not be reached.
 Mir. Sensabaugh said that the ac- ton of the eVangelists did not repre- sent the church at large, only that particular group of persons.
 The resolution criticising the two men grew out of an address delivered bv Dr. $. q. Bland of Canada last summer at Lake Juanaluska in which he is alleged to have made remarks "modernistic and saturated with the destructive higher criti- ciSm.'

 uary 10

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-Consider- alton of the tax revision program was suspended by the House ways and means committee tonight until after the first of the year but Chair man Green indicated report on the administrative features which have been under discussion would be made by January 10. This would clean the way for consideration of soldiers bonus legislation under the program agreed upon by the com mittee.
 Considerable discussion arose in an executive meeting of the com- mittee today over proposed changes in the capital assets feature of the present tax law whereby gains on capital transactions, including stock dividends, would be taxed under the income provision rather than on the present basis of 1212 per cent on capital gains. The working out of such a change, if found feasible, was placed in the hands of treasury eX- perts.
 No major legislation is expected to be taken before the House un- til the new rules have been adopt ed. On January 14 the 30-daY pe- riod ends. under which the House has agreed to operate by the old rules. The rules and the admins trative section of the tax bill prop ably will be given first considera- ton on the legislative program to be adopted by the republican con ference. Bonus Legislation and in come tax revision would then fol- low, under present plans.
