not be violative of established PRINCIPLES

citation lauded that body "for It's
skillful and jealous attention to the
proper development of the National
Capital along approved, symmetrical
and artistic lines in general, and for
its opposition to the proposed cree
ton of 40 unsightly tourists cabins in
East Potomac Park in particular"

rector of the Colonial Hotel, president
of the association, in presenting tbs
| resolutions, asserted that the tariff,

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press. ,.z ...
COLUMBIA, S. c.. December -
Denial of practically all claims made
against the International Paper Co. by
William La Varre was contained in the
defendants $4,000, 900 suit charging
any plan advanced" by La Varre.
The company denied 1t had accepted
any plan advanced" by LaVarre.
Loans to William La Varre and Har-
old Hall, extended to the two as part
ners, for the purpose of purchasing
newspapers in the Southeast, were ad-
mitted by the paper company. Although
La Varre made the purchase Of the
papers in his own name, the company
declares they were for the account and
benefit Of himself and Harold Hall,
jointly and as partners"
La Varre, with Harold Hall, pur-
chased the Augusta (Ga) Chronicle,
the Columbia, IS. c. Record, and the
Spartanburg, Is. c. Herald, and the
Spartanburg Journal last Spring With
$4,000 advanced by the paper COM
pany. BY the time the advance was
made, he claims, the defendant agreed
to loan him up to $2,500000 to carry
out his program of operations in the
Southeast and to allow him two years
within which to refinance his project.
La Varre claimed that after conceiv-
ing his plan to purchase several papers
In the Southeast and to operate them
under consolidated management, he
went to New York City to secure the
necessary financial backing.
The defendants" La Varre charged,
"grasped and accepted the plan, and
agreed to finance same under terms
which at the time appeared to this
plaintiff much preferable to any finan-
cial terms which plaintiff could else
where secure"
The answer fatty denies this.
La Varre asks that the paper COM
pany be made to carry out itr alleged
unwritten agreement, that he be award
ed $2,S00,000 damages. and that the
$870, 900 advanced to him be applied
toward those damages.

No, he lost, and he gave I. o.

''Nigger Nate" Raymond, who won
more than 100000 in I. o. us.
Stories Agree
The first witness was Meyer
Solomon, alias Meyer Boston, .
betting commissioner. He testified
he attended the famous game. He
won $4,000 in cash. McManus
lost $51, 900, he said.
Rothstein lost about $500, 900,
Solomon declared. and gave out
l. o. US for his losses. Rothstein,
however, won thousands of dollars
IN cash but he kept that. Niger
Nate" Raymond won 100000 but
all in I. o. us from Rothstein.

8. Henry Ford is going to raise
wages in his plants.
4. Steel manufacturers have
assured the President, that in
stead Of retrenching, they are
going ahead with plant exten-
sions and requirements.
S. Automobile manufacturers
informed Mr.. Hoover that while
production this year may drop
off somewhat from last years alb
normally high figures, they are
counting on normal production
and normal expansions.
Money To Be Easier
6. The outlook is for easier
money conditions, as reflected in
lower rediScount rates, and the
diversion of an enormous amount
of cash heretofore going into
stock speculation to the channels
of productive business.
The President considers this
latter factor most important
one. 1t was emphasized in the
statement to which the President
and his score of big business"
callers subscribed at the con.
cluSion of their confidence.
"It was considered" said the
statement, that the absorption
of capital In loans on the stock
market hsd postponed much con.
struction and that the flow of
this capital back to industry and
commerce would now assist the
new construction.
Definite Policy Developed
Out of the conferences which
the President has held this week
and which he will continue next
week, has developed, also, a
definite policy of close coopera
ton between ordinary business
and commercial agencies and
those the Government maintains.
The large group that conferred
at the White House yesterday,
which included Henry Ford, Owen
D. Young, Pierre Dupont, Alfred
Sloan, julius Rosenwald, Homer
Ferguson, Clarence M. Woolley,
Eugene G. Grace and Walter
Clifford, was turned into a tenn
porary advisory committee.
Julius Barnes. chairman of the
United States Chamber of Com
merce. was given the task of
creating an executive committee
from this group to work out a
definite program for expansion
OF construction activities and
maintenance Of employment.
Later Barnes announced the
meeting would be held in the
Capital within two weeks and will
include representatives of all
major industries of the country.
The conference will choose an ex-
ecutive committee which will CO.
operate with Government agen-
cies ito assist in organizing busi-
ness to help ITSELF"
Construction kings of the
country came to Washington to-
day to contribute their bit toward
Mr.. Hoover's effort to carry
American business through the
oncoming winter on Q basis of
prosperous activity.
