Lockout in Chicago

CHICAGO, Nov. 9 U.N.SD--
AS hope grew today for an early
settlement of the lockout of $500

a shot into the establishment Of
Jean Caravette.
Authorities were holding Frank
Amato, II, who entered the shop
about the time the shot was
fired. Although he is being ques'
toned, no charge has. been lodged
against him.

officers of the Master Cleaners
and Dyers Association and mem,

.HOWELL'S RUM
HUNT CHECKED
BY STATE

Continued from First PageO
ton and that diplomats have
not abused this privilege, recog-
nized under international prac-
tice.
The contention that transport
ers of embassy liquor from ports
of entry to Washington, or other
diplomatic stations, are guilty Of
violation of the national dry law
was disputed at the Treasury.
Some time ago regulations were
issued to the effect that each
consignment of diplomatic liquor
must be accompanied by an ac-
credited agent Of the embassy or
legation to which 1t was being
taken.
1t was pointed out that in this
way the diplomat or his agent L.
technically in possession Of the
liquor and that under Chapter 6,
Sections Isl and 252, of the code
of laws of the United States, he
cannot be molested. These read
Section Isl. Violation Of Safe
Conduct: Penalty - Every person
who violates any safe conduct or
passport duly obtained and issued
under authority Of the United
States shall be imprisoned for
not more than three years and
fined at the discretion Of the
court.
Section 252. Suits Against
Ministers and Their Domestics
Prohibited - Whenever any writ
or process is sued out or prose
c1ted by any person in any court
Of the United States, or of a
State, or by any judge or justice
whereby the person Of any am
baSsador or public minister OF
any foreign price or state, author
lied and received as such by the
President, or any domestic OF
domestic servant Of any such
minister, is arrested or i'm
priSoned, or his goods or chat
tells are distrained, seized or at
tached, such writ or process shall
be deemed void"
Permits for importation OF
diplomatic liquor are obtained al
the State Department, which
forwards them, on approval, tt
the Treasury. The customs col
lectors then are notified to per
NIT the importation. So far as
practicable the Treasury has in
structed that diplomatic liquor be
brought into this country through
the port of Baltimore.
Officials pointed out there
could be no advantage to making
public the volume of diplomatic
liquor imports since they are
| legal, under international com
mon law and practice, and for
the reason that these goods can
not be seized by the Government
or other persons legally. Should
there develop open abuse Of the
diplomatic liquor privilege the
Government whose representative
had been guilty of abuse woulC
be notified through the Stats
Department.

IN HOOVER s
BUDGET

The first budget Of the Hoover
Administration was complete in
its tentative form today for sub
mission to Congress next Decern-
Der.
AS announced by President
Hoover himself, Federal expendi.
lures for the fiscal year 1930-3l
have been set at 1880, 900 900, ey
elusive of the usual deficiencies
that will be incurred and of any
appropriation for the Federal
Farm Board.
The total expenditures for the
current fiscal year, including
original appropriations and def.
ciencies, have been $3,941 ,000, 900,
according to Mr.. Hoover's an
nouncement. Here again, the
Executive excluded the $150,000,-
600 allotted to the Farm Board.
The first figures Of the Hoover
regime and the last of the Cool.
idge administration are thus a lit
tie hard to compare, as, while sim.
pie subtraction would indicate a
reduction of Sill, 100000 for next
year, no account can be taken Of
the deficiencies that will be run
up. It is probable, however, they
will ultimately be found to be ap-
proximately on the same level.
True to his promise, the Presi.
dent has given waterway develop
ment and flood control a boost of
about $4,000, 900. This was ac-
compliShed by $5,000,000 in
crease each in the ribers and har.
bors and the flood control items,
and through the slightly less than
SIS, ,OOO, 900 left over from Ohio
River development, which will be
! diverted.
Mr.. Hoover also acceded to q
full fifth year of the five-year
Army aviation building program.
This program has sagged consider
ably during the last four years,
and while no attempt will be made
to take up the slack next year, it
was indicated a sixth year would
attend to that.

PARIS MAY ASK
NAVY PARLEY
DELAY

PARIS, Nov. 9 QN.So.-The
new government Of Premier Andre
Tardieu, sustained early today by
two votes of confidence in the
Chamber of Deputies, may ask
for a postponement Of the five
power naval conference scheduled
to begin in London on Jan. 20
international News Servic G
learned exclusively today.
The new cabinet, it was re.
vealed. fears that it will not have
sufficient time to prepare suffi.
ciently for a conference OF such
importance before the middle Of
January.
The interchanges on the sub.
ject of armaments between the
various governments, it was
pointed out, have indicated the
vast extent Of preparations neces'
Sary for participation in such a
conference.
These preliminaries, it was
stated, would be doubly lengthy
from the French standpoint be-
cause of difficulties the govern
ment would be certain to en-
counter in attempting to dovetail
the ideals established by the
United States and Great Britain
with Frances pledges to the
League nations.
Tardieu, long called Frances
coming man." today was hailed
on all sides as the Miracle
Man"
Thrown into the breach to
form a cabinet after two other
leaders had failed, he accomp-
liShed a feat considered well-nigh
impossible.
Attacked by both the left and
right wings when he announced
his cabinet, he emerged from two
confidence votes in the Chamber
of Deputies this morning with
majorities of II and 10, respect
lively.
Even his strongest supporters
had expected victory by only a
small margin. But M. Tardieu's
government today was on a
stable enough basis to insure the
carrying out of all Of his policies.
as the confidence votes attested.
Standing in the limelight with
M. Tardieu, was M. BRAND.
foreign minister in the new capl.
net and veteran of hundreds of
political battles.
1t was BRAND who turned the
tide in M. Tardieu's direction by
brilliant oratory, but it was M.
Tardieu himself who made the
result certain by a simple,
straightforward statement of
facts in which he explained to
the deputies satisfaction just how
he planned to pilot the ship of
state.

DONALDSON IS
MUM ON CASE
Of RAKE-OFF

r. Golden Donaldson, president
OF the Commercial National Bank
end counsel for the F. H. Smith
Investment Company, who was
accused yesterday by Sen. Smith
w. Brookhart, of Iowa, with max
ing the contractor who built the
Boulevard Apartments for his
company come across" with q
10000 "rake-off," today declined
to enter into newspaper con-
troversy with the Iowa solon.
1.-THE statements of Senator
Brookhart have just been called
to my attention" he told the
Times, and I do not propose to
enter into any controversy with
him through the newspapers"
Donaldson was spec fl cally
charged by Brookhart with having
entered into a signed agreement
with the Boyle-R Robertson Con-
struction Company, contractors
who built the Boulevard Apart
ments in the 21OO block New York
Ave. N. W., for the F. H. Smith
Company, whereby he was to re-
ceive $4,000 for "using his influ-
ence to have the Smith Company
award the contract to the Boyle
Robertson people"
Agreement Cited
Brookhart read into the record
an agreement which he declared
had been signed by J. C. Robert
son and accepted" by Donaldson.
He also read into the record no
tations receipting for the $4,000
In six installments by Donaldson.
Brookhart's speech came in
connection with senatorial inveSti-
cation Of the bond selling activi-
ties of the F. H. Smith Company
through the United States mails.
He said his accusation was based
partly on investigations by the
Department Of Justice and a
Grand Jury and partly on his
own investigation Of the matter.
II cannot see how Mr.. Donald.
son can possibly act in the in
terest of his client, the F. H.
Smith Investment Company"
Brookhart said, "and at the same
time accept huge fees from con
tractors who we're placing bids
with his client. In fact, I be-
came suspicious that these same
contractors we're borrowing money
through this same attorney and
that he was swinging this club
of graft over their heads as a
tacit consideration for loans-lf
not an actual threat.
Loans as Club
THE. .viciousness of this trans
action is instantly apparent. He
is in position to favor the con-
tractor with leans from his in
stitution (the Commercial Ma
tional Bank. He is also in q
position, as attorney for the F..
II. Smith Company, to surrepti-
tiously advise acceptance Of the
contractors bid, and in a position
also to squeeze the contractor on
his loans If the latter fails to
come across with the $4,000
:fee.'
"At the very time the minutes
Of the F. H. Smith Company show
Donaldson to have been it's re-
tanned attorney, he accepted two
contracts, each for a 100000
"rake-off,' from a contractor whose
bid was to be submitted to his
client. And he got the money
and receipted for it,"
