tor Albert R. McAllister called
Prosecutor John Toolan of Middle
sex county to the stand as the first
witness before the McAllister leg

These charges were submitted
to the Case committee and made
part of its record. They were never
forwarded to me by either the go0L

INSIDERS CLEAN
Up ON Federal
RESERVE SCARE
Call Money Rate Up to
1870 Again

The New York stock market broke
down again yesterday, on receipt of
news that the board of governors of
the Reserve Board, that is the heads
of the II Federal Reserve Banks,
were in session and were considering
the raising of re-discount rates. The
rise of call money to II per cent
again helped accelerate the fail.
Insiders Get Theirs.
But the main reason seems to
have been a general feeling that
every time the Federal Reserve
Board or any part of it goes into
action, it does something to smash
the market, always after a delay,
filled with rumors, giving plenty of
time for those who knew what is
going on, to make big money.

stirring up the desert tribes against
Iraq, with which government Lon

Turkish government protests that
the troops are for use against the

HYDE FEARS TO
TALkFARM BILL
Fake Relief Measure
Sure to Be Hated

WASHINGTON, April 1.-Secre-
tary of Agriculture Arthur NJ. Hyde
notified Chairman McNary of the
Senate Agriculture Committee to-
day he would appear Friday to tes-
tify in the farm relief hearings.
Congressman on the agricultural
committee Immediately began to
circulate the rumor that Hyde would
"do the dirty work" of presenting
plan for farm relief" that would
perhaps fool the farmers into think
ing Hoover was keeping his cam
paign promises to them, This plan
would aim also to put banking capi-
tai in charge Of sales boards that
would be able to monopclize the
sale of farm. products. =.
Though it is known that this is
the administration plan, healthy
dislike for appearing in public as
sponsor for it in detail, has caused
the congressman to press for a clear
statement from Hover or the cab
met, and has caused the cabinet to
steadfastly evade such request.
An attempt to break through the
vicious circle was made by the COM
mittee recently when it called Nor
gan, Young, Ford, Rockefeller and
other financial leaders 10 testify
before it. But they all refused.

HOLD WORKER IN
CASE
McManus Free, But
Still Jail Scrubwoman

The Only principal witness in the
Rothstein case still being held has
been Directing SO strongly to de-
tention that today she was moved
to the West 47th Street Police Sta
ton for more severe confinement.
Bridget Fairy, a scrub woman
in the Park Central Hotel, where
Arnold Rothstein was murdered
nearly five months ago, was ar
rested shortly after the gamblers
death and held as material wit
ness in $1,000 bail. She could not
furnish the bail and neither could
her friends and relatives.
One Jail to Another.
Mrs. Fairy was taken to the
West 47th Street Station from St.
Joseph's Roman Catholic home for
women because of her objections to
the confinement. Prior to that she
had been in Jefferson Market Wo-
mems Prison.
There is no charge against Bird
get Fairy, her only offense is that
she was working in the Park Cen
trail Hotel, AMI that she had to take
care of the room rented by Nc
Manus. ..-.--.-- --s
No Charge.
McManus, against whom there is
a formal charge of murder is re-
leased on $4,000 bond, which he
supplied as soon as it was fixed,
and rode away in his expensive
limousine. But Bridget Fairy, the
working woman, admittedly limo
cent of every wrongdoing, is penal
lied for her poverty, and since it
is absolutely impossible for her to
have saved $4,000 out of her wages
as a scrub woman, she has already
served five months imprisonment,
with no prospect of release in the
near future, and every protest re-
suits in her being more strictly
treated.
1t is considered here strongly
probable that she may know some
thing that connects the police with
Rothstein'a protected drug ring
and that this is the reason for her
continued isolation. If released, she
might tell.
