HOME CONFESSION
 IS, PROVED FALSE
Police Learn Thurber Was In Prison At Time Of Blast

NEW YORK, March 5.-Whatever hopes the New York police had of solving the mystery of the famous Wall street explosion through the reported confession of Ralph Thurber flickered and vanished today when the police were advised that Thurber was in San Quentin penitentiary, California, when the explosion occurred.
 Thurber's story, which was made known to District Attorney Banton through a telegram from Secretary of State Hughes to Governor Smith, was seriously questioned by detectives after they had failed to find the addresses of two men, whom Thutber, in an affi- davit in a London prison had impli- cated in the explosion. Reports from ,other cities, the police said, indicated that other details in the confession were valueless.
 Nurber advices say was sentenced to San Quentin prison in February, 1920, for three year term. He was released two years later. The Wall street explosion which killed 30 persons and injured scores, occurred on Sep tember 16, 1920.

WIVES OF ALIENS f
 SUBJECT TO QUOTA
Judge Hand Defines Status In Immigration Issue

< NEW YORK, March 5.-Federal Judge Learned Hand in ruling today decided that the wives and minor chil. dren ofsresident aliens are not admissa. ble in excess of the immigration quotas unless it is. shown that the resident alien married while on a temporary visit abroad.
 This decision, Assistant United States Attorney. James Thomas said, would serve to stop immediately the influx oi immigrant women and children who have been permitted to enter the United States under the so-called Gottleib and Markafian: cases.
 Judge Hands opinion was rendered in the case of Michael Yariano, an Ital, ian laborer, whose wife is at Ellis Island seeking admission. Variano, who mar ried in Italy in December, in 1919, emi grated to this country on a date which has not been determined. He was mar ried; he claims, while on a visit to Italy His4counsel argued that under the re cent ruling of Judge Manton, wives and. the minor children of resident aliens are excepted from the quota and must be admitted. He argued also that Variano's wife came within the Gottliet and Markarian decision.
 In holding against this contention Judge Hand decided that unless it wal conclnsively established that the mar riage took place while the husband was on a visit and after he had become ar alien resident of this country, the quots ruling would hold.

STRIKE OF ACTORS

Producers Refuse To Agree To
 Equity Shop Demand

NEW, YORK, March 5.--A s.the. atrical strike" June l., appeared a stef nearer certainty today with the is- suance by, the Producing Managers as sociation of its first public statement
 signed by 2 producers, asserting that the association could not agree to the equity shop demand of the Actors Equity association, the working oi which, it was said, would do @endurina harm to art in the theatre and would be humiliating, unjust and un-Ameri- can" ~ es.
 "No matter what his artistic stand ing or the number of years he has spent in learning his art,' the statement de clared, mo actor who had conscien- tious scruples against joining a labor union, or who would not submit his private judgment to the rules that the Equity council might hereafter lay down to govern his personal relations with his fellow artists or with his manager, could earn living.

 s William J. Burns, chief of the de- partment's bureau of investigation, in- structed Mrs. Jesse Duckstein, one of his agents. to wire Mclean in code that the department of justice was about to Investigate him. He was ad- vised also of developments through a telegram from E. S. Rochester, a con- fidential employe attached to Daugh- erty's office. c. Bascom Slemp, secre- tary to the President, was a guest at McLean's cottage several times when he was in Florida recently, and called at their home here after they returned. Democratic senators expect to complete this picture of inside connections by showing that McLean's agent here had direct access to the President and re- ceived information from him.
 Party Leaders Concerned
 Should this point be established, it would prove somewhat disconcerting to republican party leaders. Their chief solace in the present, upheaval has been the supposition that Coolidge is clear of all connection with the affair. They have regarded him as the chief asset of the party in the coming cam paign, because, so far, he has been un- touched by the disclosures. There is considerable speculation as to how he will be affected should it be disclosed that he was the principal" referred to in the telegram from McLean's edi. tor in chief.

PROGRESS ISS SEEN
 IN U. S. SHIPPING
New York Port Men Told Ad- vantages Of Boards Re
 cent Decision

NEW YORK, March 5.-The ship ping board has taken long step to- ward building up permanent mer- chant marine by its certification to the Interstate Commerce commission that sufficient tonnage exists to warrant the placing in effect of section 2S of the Merchant Marine act, D. rC. Hummer vice chairman of the board, declared in an address today before the Propeller club of the port of New York.
 Mir Hummer explained that the boards action was taken in accordance with mandatory provision of 5the act and was not an aggressive move'' on, its part. He disputed claims that American tonnage was inadequate and that application of the preferential rate clause would disrupt the railroad rate structure, asserting they were made in ignorance" of the facts.
 There is nothing in the law, he said, forbidding "any or all of the exports and imports of this country travelling in foreign ships."
 ''If an exporter prefers to use q foreign ship, that is his privilege. The only changed condition produced by the release of this law is that if his through shipments are handled by American vessels he gets lower rail road rate for such goods, when they are being brought from the interior to the seaboard or are being carried from the seaboard to interior points than he can get if he patronizes foreign ships" " Some United States ports already have export and import rates, said Mir Hummer, and all that is. necessary to put all ports of the country on basis of equality under Section 2S is merely to establish similar rates" at those where they are not in effect. .
 This rate," he continued, might be arrived at by merely providing for, say, ten per cent reduction from do nestle rates. That simple change certainly would not effect the general rate structure, but is would give a financial reason for patronizing Ameri. can vessels in our foreign trade"

 between proponents and opponents of his bill.
 MT. Hull and others on the military committee fighting the Ford offer had tentatively framed amendments they will offer, but had reached no agree ment tonight as to the exact wording of the various proposals. They have indicated that their main fight is to secure the adoption, of important amendments rather than defeat the bill.
 In addition to the military commit tee members who spoke in favor of the Ford offer today, two Tennessee demo- crats, Byrns and Salmon, advocated its acceptance. Representative Almon, Alabama. who represents the Muscle Shoals district in the House, also took the floor again in behalf of the Me Kenzie bill. Several proponents of the Ford offer today charged that the Ala bama Power company was under the control of foreign capital, while ,oppo- nents declared the Detroit manufacturer would receive one of the biggest gifts in the history of sthe government. Teapot Dome Beaten"
 Mir. Shell declared ''this proposition has Teapot Dome beaten hundred ways in giving away government prop erty and before you are through with it, it will be a bigger scandal" He declared what Mir. Ford desired lis cheap electrical energy" and added ''it is power he will get-mechanical power, social and political and indus trial powers beyond belief, on which he may indeed build an industrial em- pire.'
 In urging acceptance of the Ford proposal, Mir. Hill declared ''the Ala bama Power company only seeks to put off this Ford proposition" t
 'The people of Alabama" he said, ''ask you not to surrender them to foreign corporation and ask you- not to place them in the hands of corpor- ation which made hard terms with the government during the war" Launching an attack against the Ford bid, Mir. Burton declared it would be unfair to companies which have brought themselves under the federal water power act to permit MT. Ford to take over Muscle Shoals without sub- | jecting him to the same restrictions.
 II want to emphasize how unfair it would be to make an exception of Mir. Ford" Mir. Burton said, adding 'There are possibilities in this situation which might make Teapot Dome look like a mere bagatelle."
 MT. James told the House the an- l nounced intention of Mir. Ford to ex- tend power lines POO miles in all direc- tions from Muscle Shoals was the req son the Alabama Power company, and

 NEW YORK, March 5.-Alvin W. Krech, chairman of the Equitable Trust company of New York, admitted today that Samuel Knight, San Fran cisco attorney, whose appointment as government counsel in the oil investi- gation was reported under fire at Washington. was engaged in some of the banks litigation in California.
 Krech said that Knights law firm was employed to defend an action brought against the bank in California in 1922. That was the only connec- tion which Knight had had with the Equitable Trust, the statement said, adding that he had never represented the company in any oil litigation.
 According to a dispatch from San Francisco, Knight declared that his firm has no retainer from the Equit- able Trust company of New York, al- though indirectly handling litigation of that firm"

 3. Musgrove headquarters announced that Mrs. c. H.
