conference with President Hoover in
his cabinet room, and declared it
was not even sufficient that wages
stay on their present level.
They must go up," Ford said.
Initiative Was Expected
Employers with huge payrolls,
such as Ford, Owen D. Young, head
OF General Electric, heads of great
steel companies, mail order houses,
department stores and other vast
industries pledged the President to
keep wages at least as high as at
present.
This initiative was expected at the
White House to encourage all bust
ness men to maintain the buying
power of the nation by insuring full
pay envelopes.
The greatest calamity that could
happen at this time, many felt,
would be to force down wages and
cut the normal purchases of the
average American family.
Hoover Is Pleased
President Hoover is said to have
been especially pleased at reports
that the automobile industry, sup
posed to be suffering from lack Of
orders, was in good shape. A sea.
Sonal decline in orders has taken
place, but 1t is no larger than usual,
it was understood.
Reports of steel men, 1t was

by George Laughlin of the Jones

burgh. He saw no reason for con-
Germ about this major barometrical

mon fairness" Sinclair said in a
formal statement shortly before his
release at 1907 a. m. The great
power and prestige of the govern
ment were employed against me
under hostile influences and by a
campaign unjustly describing me as
defiant of law"
Sinclair entered the jail May 6,
under sentence to three months for
contempt of the senate because he
refused to answer questions pro-
pounded by its investigating COM
mittee. Before his release from this
term, he was sentenced to six
months more for contempt of court,
a charge resulting from Jury
shacowing activities during his trial
with former Secretary of Interior
Albert B. Fall for conspiracy.
Loses Little Time
Part Of the two sentences ran
cOncurrently and Sinclair's term was
shortened further by time allowed
for good behavior.
He became a free man at mid
night and lost little time in quitting
his cell, close to the Jail pharmacy
over which he had presided since
his incarceration. Early experience
as a druggist, before he struck it
rich in the oil fields, fitted him for
the work Of compromising medicine
for the Jail physician.
Dressed in a neatly pressed pin
stripped blue suit, soft gray hat, and
highly polished brown shoes, the
millionaire paused only long enough
in the front office of the jail to BID
farewell to Superintendent William
Peak. and tell reporters he had
nothing to add to his printed
statement. Pressed for an amplifi-
cation. Sinclair said:

told the photographers. ut isn't
hurting me any,"
He smiled broadly throughout the
picture-making ordeal and, when
called upon for talking picture
speech, thanked the camera men
"for this fine reception" Except
for newspaper men. the crowd out
side the Jail was small and made
nc trouble for the seven policemen
detailed to preserve order.
After satisfying the photogra-
pliers, Sinclair was driven away
rapidly, in a closed automobile, in
which E. w. Sinclair, his brother,
and c. T. Stanford, his personal at
torney, were waiting.
Thinner, Less Florid
They went by an indirect route
70 the fashionable Mayflower hotel,
where they spent the night.
They left today for Sinclair's Ran
cocas stock farm at JobStown, N. Y.
Sinclair was thinner and less ford
when he emerged from the jail than
when he entered last spring, but ap-
peared In splendid health. Super
intendent Peak said he had been eX-
ercising regularly with hand ball.
The superintendent made no ef-
fort to conceal his relief at Sin
clair's departure. Ever since the

Huge Loss in Card Game Is
Rothstein Murder
Evidence.
BIZ United Press

BIZ Cntted Press
CRIMINAL COURT, NEW
YORK, Nov. 21.-George N. Broth
ers, assistant district attorney,
today outlined to the jury the case
by which the state will attempt to
prove George A. McNanus murdered
Arnold Rothstein, gambler.
Brothers described the legal tech
nicalities of the indictment and the
mechanics of the grand jury pro-
ceedings. He emphasized the care
which had been used in the selec-
ton of jury.
1.-The first proof we will offer will
be the proof of death as required
by law.
"The next proof will have to do
with card game in which Arnold
Rothstein lost 1921 900 to man
known as Niger Nate"
The defendant lost $51,000 prac-
tically all in cash, to Arnold Roth
stein, Brothers said, and added that
feeling arose over the failure of Ar
mold Rothstein to pay his losses.
McManus Shows Interest
Brothers said he then would show
that McManus registered as George
A. Richards at the Park Central
hotel, where Rothstein was shot,
and was assigned Suite $40, consist
ing of bedroom, sitting room and
bath.
McManus listened intently as
Brothers went on.
Mr.. Rothstein was very wealthy
man engaged in many kinds of
business, real estate, insurance,
bonding and also gambling" said
Brothers. "On the night he was
shot, he went to Lindy's restaurant
where the cashier delivered him
message. The message was that a
man had called and said This is
George McManus,' tell Rothstein to
call Room $40 at the Park Central
hotel.
Tells of Dispute

next see him, Or per~on reSem-
bling him, on the third floor of the

his hands holding his side.
THE carpet on the stairs in the
corridor is very soft. At the right
of the stairs is the service elevator.
At the foot of those stairs, hotel
employees saw the same man hold
ing his side and saying, "I'm shot. "
He told how a detective was called
and then the house doctor. None
of them could learn from the man
who did the shooting.
Brothers said that a witness,
Briget Fairy, would testify she saw
Rothstein in Room 349 ten minutes
before the shooting.
Police Searched Room
Immediately after Rothstein
reached the hospital, detectives
searched Room SAC, Brothers said.
"They found ginger ale and other
bottles" he said. There had been
drinking.

"A few days ago the great air audi

nificent that is some day to spring into
