For Closing Three

The doors of three banks controlled
by the New Jersey Bankers Securi-
ties company, a holding concern,
were closed today by the New Jer-
sey department of banking and in

They were the Hobart Trust COM

Small crowds of depositors, among
them many weeping women, gath
cred at the doors of the institu-
tions, but no word was offered
them as to reasons for the closing.
The New Jersey Bankers Securi-
ties company was tho subject last
year of a searching inquiry by a
legislative committee.

With the hope of a compromise vir-

endurance contest between the New

KELLOGG PACT.
PRONUNCIATION.
SET FOR TODAY
Represen t atives of
Powers to Attend
Act Making Treaty
Official

WASHINGTON, July 24.-(P)-
Already hailed as of proved effec-
tiVeness by virtue of its influence
on the Russo-Chinese controversy
the Kellogg treaty renouncing war
today reached the last stage OF its
stormy course from an idealiStic
suggestion to a binding internation-
al agreement.
For the final step-its formal
PRONUNCIATION by President Hoover
the historic east room OF the
White House was chosen as the
scene of impressively simple cere-
monies in which the diplomatic
representatives of the nations that
have joined the United States IN
renouncing warfare as an instru-
ment Of their national policy had
been invited to participate.
In addition, there were two spe-
cially invited and honored guests
At President Hoover'S right place
was set aside for Calvin Coolidge
who brought all the influence of his
presidential office to bear in OBJ
tanning the approval Of the senate
for the treaty and regards it as one
Of the most important accomplish
mentS Of his administration. Or
the chief executives left a place
was reserved for the man whose
efforts on behalf of the treaty were
of such import that the pact wa;
given his name, Frank B. Kellogg
the Coolidge secretary Of state.
Under the terms Of the treaty it.
self, the ceremony of PRONUNCIATION
could not take place until all of the
Is original signatory nations hac
deposited their instruments of rat
ification with the Washington gov
ernment. All but one, that Of ia.
pan, have been in the archives 81
the state department for some time
and Secretary StimSon made spe
cial arrangements to complete thi
momentouS file by receiving tht
japanese ratification early in TIT
day from the hands of Ambassado
Debuchi. Ratifications of three ad
herring nations also had not beer
received, although in transit, bu
unlike those of the signatorieS the.
were not necessary to make tn
pact effective.
The heads of diplomatic mission
in Washington of all signatory ant
adherent natiorS were invited t.
attend the ceremonies and after
ward a White House luncheon. Onl
two nations which have becom
parties to the treaty, Russia ant
Afghanistan, we're unable to b
represented through lack of diplo
matte relations with the Unitet
States. Chairman Borah of tn
senate foreign relations committee
who had long advocated RhSsia
recognition, and was one Of the in
vited guests, had said, however
that through him, Russia woul
be represented in spirit at least.

TWO SETS OF
MIND EXPERTS
TO Be HEARD
Crowds No Lon ger
Expect Sensational
Deve lopment AS
Leahy Listless

GEORGETOWN, Tex, July "a
(P)-Two sets of alienists prepared
to give diagnoses Of Harry j.
Leahy's mentality here today, the
convicted murderer's life depending
on their reception by the jury.
The dull process of jury selection
was completed late yesterday, and
introduction of testimony, the vital
engagements of Leahy's attempt to
escape electrocution for the Staying
of j. A. Ramsey, aged Mathis phy-
sician, began. rIental experts some
time ago made their examinations
{ the cattleman, member OF a
proud Southwc Texas family.
Leahy's listlesS appraisal of the
veniremen was unbro!-cn during the
long questioning, and the courtroom
crowd ceased expecting any spec
tacular movement by him.
Two times cahy had sought to
refute the accusation of response
bilty for the death of DR.. Ramsey.
At George \ est, where r'eahy was
sentenced to so years, and here
where the death penalty was as
sessed in a second trial, the prose-
cution drew from its witnesses a
story of abduction, torture and
murder. Roberta M2-tinez, Mexican
once employed by Leahy, testified
the latter had him lure the doctor
from home on a false sick call, that
Leahy tortured DR.. = ,amcey, forced
him to sign certain papers, killed
him, stripped the body of diamonds
and crammed it in the shallow
grave from which It was recovered.
The papers, the state contended,
we're deeds to ranch that for de-
cades had been held by the Leahy
family, but had been lost through
forced sale. DR.. Ramsey bought
the property from the mortgage
company.
