On Blackmail Charge

Cambridge, Mass. Feb. 3.-William
j. CorcOran, former district attOr
ney of MiddleseX county. whose trial
in suffolk County on blackmail
charges was interrupted recently
when the presiding judge declared
a mistrial after Il witness had alleged
bribery of jurors, is under indictment
on similar charges in Middlesex
county. This became known definite
ly late today when counsel for Cor
coran in presenting a petition for
nominal bail for his client, revealed
the persons named in secret indict-
ments returned by the MiddleseX
grand jury last Saturday.
Eight or more secret indictments
were returned by the grand jury. AL
ready Mrs. Theresa Duggan and Mrs.
Lillian Hardy Reese, alleged lures
employed by the so-called black
mail rink in eXtorting money from
wealthy men. have been arrested and
arraigned. Each furnished bail in

new BRITISH GOVT.
TO CONCENTRATE ON
INTERNAL POLICY

London, Feb. 5.--(By A. P.)-
The new government is energetically
working to be in readiness to meet
parliament next week Cabinet
meetings are held almost daily and
a number of committees are study
ing the difficult problems.
1t is clear that the ministers in
tend to concentrate on internal pol
icy, especially housing. unemploy-
ment and agriculture. Housing has
been constant source of difficulty
since the war, and success in solv-
ing this problem will probably do
more to reconcile the country to the
new administration than success in
any other direction.
An important conference will as
Semble tomorrow privately to dis
cuSS the question in all it's bearings.
1t will be attended by the ministers
of health and labor and representa-
tlves of both employers and trade
unions connected with the building
industry. The governments aim is
to induce the trades unions to allow
some relaxation of the strict trade
u'loii lulSS, vi, uIlutlIiS DIS IL is
called. in order to provide more
skilled labor to the building trade.
In return for such relaxation the
trades unions contend that the gov
eminent ought to guarantee con-
tinuance of it's housing policy. over
a period of 10 or 20 years, that is,
guarantee TO the trades constant
work.
Another difficulty to be overcome
is the hindrances placed in the way
by rings or combines restricting sup
plies OF building materials, and it
is said that the government is ready
TO fight these rings. 1t is understood
that the financing schemes do not
present great difficulties.
With regard to foreign affairs, it
is reported that Premier Macdonald
contemplates visit to Paris in May.
after the French elections. which
it is hoped may bring together u
chamber better disposed to meet the
British views on the reparations
question.
An interview with Ramsay Mac
Donald will appear in the Manches-
ter Daily Dispatch. in which the
prime minister declares that the
recognition of Russia is "absolute."
With regard to the term "de jure
recognition" Mr.. Macdonald says he
objects to language which cannot be
understood by TIE man in the street
but as tho Soviets attach importance
to the phrase he willingly subscribed

ference, although actual SubScrip-
tons had not been received. He
pointed out that although the cor

President Coolidge disclosed dur
ing the day that in addition to for
nation of the corporation the carry
ing out of other steps recommended
by yesterdays Cnferencc, and such
pending legislation as the Norbeck-
Burtness bill. he proposed to take
further action to relieve the situa =
ton in the northwest If possible.

delegates to the conference who
called at the White House. Mr.. Cool
idge said he hoped the pending in
vcstieation of the wheat tariff by the
tariff commission under the Ford

ions would justify him in raising the
wheat duty from 30 cents n bushel
to As cents a bushel.
Mr.. Coolidge agreed with the agri-
cultural delegates on the advisability
of passage Of the Norbeck BurtncSs
bill to provide government loans Ia
