TALKED TOO MUCH, MAN
 WHO LISTENED WAS COP
Prisoner Arrested Tn st. Louis on Charge of New Orleans Theft
 From PiEgly Wiggly Co.

St Louis, Mo, Aug. l2 tPl-U na- ware that 2 man sitting next 10 him h juvenile court was a police clerk g man giving the name of Thomas B. Hoyt, yesterday confided that he had stolen sl2,no0 from the Figgly Wig ely Corporation. New Orleans five years ago anl fled Hoyt vas ar rested and held pending confirms- ton of his story.
 Hoyt asked the police clerk, James Power. for advice regarding the rustody of hls two year old son. as they left the building together, Hoyt remarked;
 T don't want you 10 think. just because I've said something against my wife that I'm saint. The fact ts | stole sl2,oeO in New Orleans five years ago and skipped town"
 Power persuaded the stranger 10 accompany him to the office Of the chief Of detectives. He then made 4 detailed statement in 1920 he said, he appropriated sl2,ooo from the Piggiy-wigsl corporation at New Orleans, of which he was an em- ployee.

MEXICAN PEOPLE
 DEMAND RIGHTS
Want Greater Share Of Their
 National Wealth

W1lli7mstown Mass, Ans. 1c P The masses of the Mexican people are convinced that they have been uuiustly dealt with and are deter mined 10 serure larger share of the national wealth, Dr. Lee s. Rome director general of the Tan Ameri- can union Tn Washington said today at the institute of politics round ta- hle on iutpr-AmcriCan problems.
 "The basic error of the Dia2 re- Eime was in Confounding national wealth with national welfare. He failed 10 see that while the national resources of the country were being rapidly developed largely by foreign capital tho condition of the working classes improved hut slowly and in the case of agricultural laborers re- maiued practiaClDy stationary. It was this fact which brought on the upheaval of 1910 and which has giv- en rise 10 the difficult and delicate problems now confronting the Unit d States in her relations with Mex leo,
 The agreements recently reached for the adjustment of claims of the United States against Mexico and Mexico against the United States marks an important step forward in tha developments of the relations be- tween the two countries. There is also every indication that the trou- hlesome questions arising out Of the interpretation Of Article 1+ Of the constitution Of 1917 will be amicably settled.
 "Althouch the present outlook is most promising, we must not close our eyes to the fact that for many years to come our relations with Mexico will present problems that will require the hroadest statesman ship satisfactorily 10 settle. The dif- fculiies are inherent in a situation in which a highly organized indus trial society comes into close contact with people practically devoid of capital and dependent upon foreign capital for the mitigation Cf their natural resources"

iAISQUOTED, SAYS
 A BRYAN ADM|RER
Embarrassed as Result Of News.
 paper Story, She Asserts

New York, Aug. 12 Op-Miss Dio. nessa Bryan Evans of Minnesota who originated the idea of a memo. rial to William Jennings Bryan at Clewiston, Florida, expressed herself today as much embarrassed by the statement of Mrs. Bryan that she had not communicated with Miss Evans nor given her approval on the project.
 Miss Evans said that she had been both misunderstood and misquoted. She did not say, she said. that Mrs Bryan had approved her plan. In fact, she has not heard from Mrs. Bryan. She said that she did wire Mrs, Bryan and naturally. hoped that what she wished to do would be pleasing to the family. Miss Evans said:
 T have been very much hurt and embarrassed by what, has been printed regarding a proposed mem- orial for William Jennings Bryan, my godfather. a lifelong friend of my father, D. H. Evans of Tracy, Minnesota. As family, we have had great admiration for Mir. Bryan and for his ideals and it seemed to me most appropriate that some ex- pression of this sentiment be made Tn the form of a memorial.
 T suggested the site at CleTiston because Isaac Cook, friend Of our family and also an admirer Of Mr. Bryan. offered a plot In that town directly opposite the public school. This seemed fitting, as l hope to have the funds contributed largely by school children and everyone knows the Commoner's interest in children and public schools.
 Accordingly. I sent message to Mrs. Bryan, outlining what l had in mind. suppose she has received thousands of message and. no doubt, has never seen mine. At any rate, I received no reply from her and never said that I had received one. Of course I hope for her approval. The news dispatch from Miami, Fla, containing ATS. bryan ueilloi lliot she had given her approval of my plan has placed me in false light. All that I have done has been to inl- tiate what 1 conceived to be very worthy movement and I am sure l do not deserve to appear as promot- ing anything in the interests of per- sonsl notoriety.'
 Miss Evans said she had come to New York after consulting friends here for the purpose of making this city the headquarters of her cam paign she added:
 "T wish it definitely understood that it is neither my wish nor pur. pose personally to have charge of the details or handling the funds. My hope is to have a committee in New York, the members of which will commend themselves to the public and who will assume the en- tire responsibility. ] have assur- snces from several that they will CO., operate to this end. I expect to announce in day or two the names of this committee"

 The comptroller genera has lost the decision, so far as the lower courts are concerned, in a number of cases where the pay of navy ot- icers was held up to compensate the gov ernment for alleged over payment to them in previous years
 Today the department Of justice announced il was considering the question with a view to appealing in seventv-tTo cases under the ln- rression that there Is possibly no authority for withholding the pay of naval officers where the govern mert's claim is not based on the failure of the officer to account for public moneys entrusted to hls care"

MEMORY LAPSES FEATURE
 TRIAL OF 'KIDNAPPERS'
Witness in Pickford Case Fails To Remember Several Important
 Items,

Los Angeles, Cal. Aug 12 Pl-A lapse of memory from most circum- stances surrounding the alleged plot of three men to kidnap Mary Pick ford. screen star, featured the rebut- tai testimony of Louis Geek, police informer, at the trial Of the trip here yesterday,
 Geek admitted on the stand that he discussed the alleged plot with C. z. Stephens, Claud Holcomb. and Adrian J, Wood. the defendants, and then immediately went to the police detective bureau where he told the story to Chief of Detectives George K. Home, now retired.
 Home gave him some money, but he did not remember how much neither did he remember the dates he received 1t. When cross examin- ed by the defense. he failed 10 re- call dates on the alleged discussions or where they took place.
 He did remember, however, that he bought, paid for and. served the liquor 10 the men at the downtown hotel during the evenings when po- lice declared they Listened In" on the alleged plotting.
 On direct rebuttal for the prosecu- ticn Geek laid the entire scheme at Stephens door, declaring that possi- ble victims first mentioned by the defendant included Jackie, Coogan, Baby Peggy, child screen stars, and Edward L. Doheny's grand children, Geek said that happened about April Is last and he immediately went to police headquarters to re- port the alleged plot.
