Bankers Control Production
Those gains do not reflect increased
prosperity for the wage Garner. They
are balanced by material losses in the
early months of 1925. Bankers inter
vened and prevented the wild excess
of production early in the year which
characterized 1924 Thus the depart
ment's employment and payroll in
dexes show the total distributed in
wages the first six months of 1925 as
just about equal to the same period Of
1924 while employment this year has
averaged 2.5 per cent below the first
half OF 1924.
Using average employment through
out 1923 as the standard, employment
in each of the first months of 1928,
1924 and 1925 shows the following

ACCUSED OF THEFT
 0F STATE PAPERS
FrenChman Said to Have Sold
 Reports to Publisher
By The Associated Press.

Paris, Jan. S0,-Documents con- tlscated by the police at the home of Pierre Michaut. an employe of the reparation commission, charged with abstracting secret documents from the commissions archives and selling some of them to an Ameri- can publisher q mysterious "Mr. Myers" were given close study to- day by Magistrate Jousselin, investi- gating the thefts.
 A great deal of the magistrates time. however, was devoted to a much severer inquiry into the Teak" which caused the story of the disappearance of the documents to become public. against the wishes of the reparation commission, the po- lice and the judicial authorities. The magistrate upbraided the Paris newspaper men when they inquired whether "Mr. Myers" had kept an appointment he was said to have made with Michaut for today. and If his identity had been discovered.
 Do you think Myers would be fool enough to keep an appointment with Michault when every morning paper had blazoned the fact that tre latter was constantly being shadowed by the police?" the magistrate asked them.
 "The affair Is following its normal course" was all Magistrate Jousselin would say.
 Michault, according to the police, told them when they first ques- toned him that Myers had repre- scented himself as agent for an American publishing house getting out books on postwar affairs. The missing documents were said to be stenographic reports of the inter- allied conferences at Spa, Bouogne and Cannes.

USED POLICE MONEY TO
 PAY OLD LIQUOR BILL
Stool Pigeon Finds Living Burden Based By Cash supplied By
 Kidding squad.

Sergeant Patrick A. McAvay and
 Sergt. Patrick McAvay and Police man Thomas j. Feeney gave q stool pigeon $2 yesterday and sent him in- to the tenement occupied by Victoria Naniskia of 40 Hurburt street to purchase a bottle of liquor for them. The agent returned shortly with a pint of liquor and the information that he had paid s2 for it.
 Testifying before Judge Beniamin w. filling in police court this morn- ing, the agent said that he had pur- chased liquor from the woman on several previous occasions. Asked how much he had paid for it, the witness said s1. The court then asked him why it had cost him s2 when he purchased it for the police, and he replied that the woman told him he owed her dollar for the last pint he got so he paid for it with the money given him by the police.
 When the defendant took the witness stand, she said that the stool pigeon came to her tenement and gave her sob story, saving that he was cold and sick and had to have some liquor. She said that she had a little liquor left in the house from Christmas and she agreed to give it to him. telling him that he would have to pay what it had cost her. At this, the agent is alleged to have renewed his hard luck story and told the woman that he didn't have a cent of money and couldn't pay for it. so finally she gave him the liquor free.
 After the agent had turned the liquor over to the police, they en- tered the house and searched the tenement occupied by Mrs. vaniskia. finding two gallon jugs with traces of liquor in the bottoms. The court found her guilty and imposed a sus- pended sentence of 30 days.
 Frank Lindzoln of SIP Elm street, another victim of the agents activi- ties, was arraigned before the court on liquor charges. and the case was continued until Tuesday for trial. He was represented by Atty. P. r. McDonough.

With the opening of the trial January $. Jarnecke. changed his plea to guilty and became the gov- ernment's chief witness. He ad- mlt,ed having turned government agent and received SIT a week as salary.
 Jarnecke and Crager System offi- oials told of the manner in which they alleged Means, representing himself as q man of influence with high government officials had in- duced them to agree to pay s6b,0O0 for bribery uses. Fielder entered into the case when the agreement was reached, they said. It was to him they claimed, that Means, with Jarnecke as go-between, had sent them. It was to Fielder. likewise they said. that they paid the larger portion of the s65,000.
 Both Means and Fielder took the stand to deny these tales. Fielder and several witnesses corroborated his testimony--and said that he had received but s5,000 of the sum paid. and this was his fee for rep- resenting certain of the defendants. He and other witnesses said that $24,000 of the sum had gone to Joseph o. Coster, Chicago alderman and attorney for some of the other defendants. Means, was a colorful witness, speaking with obvious fa- millarity of his appropriateness in high official Washington. Other defense witnesses were formar At- torney General Daugherty. William J. Burns and United States Attorney Hayward. who said that none of the defendant trio had ever approached them in bribery matter. .
 Both Means and Jarnecke were convicted of bootlegging conspir- acy by federal court jury last July l, for which the former was sentenced to 2 years in the Atlanta penitentiary, and a s10.o00 fine, and Jarnecke received a similar term, with a $5,000 fine. Both their cases are on appeal.

Detroit, Jan. Business pros poets are better for 1925 than they were for 1921, Theodore G. Morgan, Montreal Canada, chairman of a committee of the National Advertise ing commission, told that body here yesterday in a report ordered by a convention of the commission in Chicago last october. The National Advertising commission is a depart ment of the Associated Advertising Club Of the World, representing all of the allied advertising interests.
 Farmers are in better condition than they have been since 1919, MT. Morgan declared, and manufacturing is In better basic condition. That the retailer, however, can help extend the better condition to the pocket books of the average man and wom- an, was his conclusion.

MEANS GUILTY, JURY'S VERDICT
tcontinued From First Page,

satlonal career of Means. At in- tervals In the last eight years he l figured in . series of episodes. ranging fpom trial for murder to accusations of graft. in which the names of men prominent in public life were banded about.
 The present case got into the courts when a federal grand jury last March indicted Means, Fielder and Elmer w. Jernecke, who has been known as secretary to Means, on the justice obstruction con- spiracy charge. Officials of the Crager System, Inc. ana the Glass Casket Co. of Altoona, Pa, charged the trio with having obtained $65,- 900 from them on their representa- ton that 1t would be spent in brib- ing high government officials to call off their prosecution on charges of having used the mails in a stock fraud conspiracy
 IT Arc Convicted
 Seventeen of the more than fifty men involved subsequently were convicted and sentenced to peniten- tiary terms in Atlanta. It was after their conviction that the Crager- Glass Casket defendants complained and the indictment of the accused trio followed.
 The indictment charged, among other things, that the defendants "conspired to represent that Fielder was secret partner in the practice of law with the attorney general of the United States (Harry M. Daugh- erty), and that Means was an officer and employe of the government, occupying a position of importance in the department of justice.
