Addressing several hundred Off.
cials Of New York state farm or.
carnations last night at the Onon.
daga Golf and Country club, the
governor confined his talk of half an
hour to costs Of local governments.
Besides recommending an over.
hauling Of local administrative ma.
chinery, the governor defended his
record 1t Albany % to appropria.
tions, attacked those who have
fought his program in the legisla.
ture, and declared the only way to
keep expenses down was to "attack
the evil at its root-the court Of 10.
cal government"
Blames No Party
He blamed no particular party fol
the situation he thought should b
remedied, but. asserted the nucleus
Of the trouble lay in county patron
age.
Warning his audience not to
listen to "press bureau accounts Of
the awful extravagance at Albany
as this was "the season Of bunk" he
challenged tho opposition to find
fault with his contentious.
At one point he referred TO . hos.
tile legislature having reduced his
appropriation recommendation only
zone hundredth Of one per cent" " and
brought laughter by adding: "They
made old man volstead look like Z

HOOVER WOULD
LIMIT PUBLIC
R0STRUM TALK
Deferrs Next Excursion From
Washington and Considers
Campaign Costs
Rx JAMES L. WEST

NA0oUCI8Ue0 I1eeO OsS1A VAstGsI
Washington, Aug. 3d. (AP) -
Herbert Hoover - resisting efforts
to have him map out an extensive
speaking program during the re-
naming nine weeks of his campaign
for the presidency.
Deferring his next excursion from
Washington until around the middle
Of September, he has reiterated to
advisers his own desire to limit his
public platform appearances to three
or four between that time and his
next westward trek late in October.
Economical in his own efforts and
expense, Hoover also is adherinR
to his originally announced plan to
have the whole Republican campaign
conducted on as small . budget as
is possible. To that end, those in
charge of financial affairs have in-
itiated conferences with chiefs of the
various divisions for a study Of ex-
pense estimates and . pairing down
wherever possible.
Hoover has insisted on what he
terms q modest" organization, but
he also wants an efficient one, and
he believes that the machinery set
up by his colleagues is efficient.
There has been more decentralization
than customary in . campaign. with
the state organizations looked to for
q good share of the work.
While there have been minor in
stances Of detection in the north
west, taken as . whole, the nominee
believes the party is united, and is
convinced that the organizations set
up are doing splendid work in that
section.
He is giving personal attention to
the situation in the east, and called
in for conferences today William H.
Hill, chairman Of the Hoover Curtis
organization in New York state, and
Edwin Machold, newly elected chair
man Of the New York state Republi-
can committee.

Philadelphia. Aug. 30.-(AP)-A
grand jury's investigation Of boot
logging ganrster slayings and quick
fortunes in Philadelphia today in
volved Scarface AL. Capone Of Chi
cago.
Capone was named by the prose-
cutor as an ally Of Max boo Hoo"
wealthy sportsman and fight. man.
ager, who is charged by the prose.
cutor with being the leader Of m
alcohol ring and with directing at
tempts to intimidate witnesses, re-
mained under subpoena.
Louis r. Elfman, former chauf.
feur for Hoff, before the grand jury
yesterday linked Hoff with the rum
ring and asserted that he had been
beaten by Sailor Freedman, former
Chicago prize fighter, and threat
ened with death If he testified
against his former employer. A
warrant has been issued for Freed
mans arrest.
Elfman's disclosures, District At
torney John Monaghan said, show
that Hoff has q close alliance with
the notorious "Scarface" AL Capone
of Chicago. and had .been instrumen-
tai in bringing to Philadelphia gun
men for Chicago to intimidate wit
nesses in the investigation.
Plan Battle
After . long session with the
Grand jury Elfman sat in the dis
trict attorneys office while the pro.
secutor said to newspapermen, I'VE
are now going to open up on these
murderers and bootleggers."
This man has had the courage to
tell the truth about the rotten con-
ditions, and At the risk Of his life.
Seven years ago he met Max Hoff.
He did some electrical work for him.
Then this bootlegger and en-
ployer Of gunner tempted him with
big wages. He employed him as q
trailer for alcohol trucks from one
place to another. On the first trip
Hoff accompanied him. They both
had guns, supplied by Hoff. They
went to the Consolidated Ethyl Al
cohol company. A load of alcohol
was obtained and he and Hoff trailed
it to Z freight station where Hoff
superintended loading it into Z car.
Ehman was used to trail trucks Of
alcohol and did this 400 or 500 times.
Is Beaten Up
Eighteen months ago Elfman de-
cided to 60 straight and quit. Soon
after we served him with . subpoena
to appear before the grand jury he
was met on the street by Sailor
freedman, . notorious character. He
was beaten up and his life threat
ened.
Gilman also disclosed that the
notorious Al Capone was in this city
and Law. lily entertained by Hoff.
Elfman was present and met him.
I want all Philadelphia to know this.
/ want everyone to know that Hoff
and his gang have brought on Chi
cago gunmen to threaten and intimi-
date witnesses who may be called.
"Elfman is going to get day and
night protection from now on. There
is going to be no humping off so far
% he is concerned"

Some of the largest banks in the United States are now organizing trust companies to specialize in mining securities, having finally to realization that min ing under the highly efficient management that prevails today presents the most inviting field for safe invest ments and large profits.
 Bankers have found that mining is free from the fre quent hazard of manufacturing enterprises, which in vove vast outlay for plant sales organization and de- veopment of market only to find fierce competition and probable loss of market for their product.
