TEXT OF MESSAGE
Hoover Seeks Coordination
Between Government
and Business.

The announcement by President
Hoover of his call for a confer
ence of business and government
al agencies to maintain business
progress reads as follows:
I have, during the past week,
engaged In numerous conferences
with important business leaders
and public officials with a view
to the coordination of business
and governmental agencies in
concerted action for continued
business progress.
am calling, for the middle of
next week, small preliminary
conference of Representatives of
industry, agriculture and labor
to meet with the Secretaries of
the Treasury, Agriculture, Com
merce and Labor, together with
the chairman of the Federal
Farm Board, to develop certain
definite steps.
For instance, one of the results
of the speculative period through
out which we have passed in re-
cent months has been the diver
sion of capital into the security
market, with consequent tagging
of the construction work in the
country. The poStponement of
construction during the past
months, including not only build
tngs, railways, merchant marine
and public utilities, but also Fed
eral, State and municipal public
works, provides a substantial re-
serve for prompt expanded action.
The situation is further assured
by the exceptionally strong cash
position of the large manufac-
turing industries of the country.
The magnificent working of the
Federal reserve system and the
inherently sound condition of the
banks have already brought about
a decrease in interest rates and
an assurance of abundant capital
the first time such result has
been so speedily achieved under
similar circumstances.
In market boomS we develop
over optimism with a correspond
ing reverse into over-peSSimiSm.
They are equally unjustified, but
the sad thing is that many un-
fortunate people are drawn into
the vortex of these movements
with tragic loss of savings and
reserves. Any lack of confidence
in the economic future or the
basic strength of business in the
United States is foolish. Our
national capacity for hard work
and intelligent cooperation is
ample guaranty of the future.
My own experience has been,
however, that words are not of
any great Importance in times of
economic disturbance. It is
action that counts. The estab-
lishment of credit stability and
ample capital through the Federal
Reserve system and the demon
stration of the confidence of the
administration by undertaking
tax reduction with the co-opera-
ton of both political parties,
speak more than words.
The next practical step Is the
organizing and co-ordinating of a
forward movement of business
through the revival of construc-
ton activities, the stimulation OF
exports and of other legitimate
business expansion, especially to
take such action in concert with
the use of our new powers to
assist agriculture. Fortunately,
the sound sense, the capacity and
readiness for cooperation OF our
business leaders and government
tai agencies give assurance OF
action.

NAVAL
PACT PLAN DENIED
Cotton Says U. s. ENJOYS Will
Return if Farley Fails.
Opens January 21.

BY the Associated Press.
Acting Secretary of State Joseph p.
Cotton knows of no plans for tri-
partite agreement between the United
States, Great Britain and Japan, If the
forthcoming five-power naval confer
ence fails to reach an agreement.
In the event of disagreement, the
Acting Secretary indicated, the present
plans are for the American delegation
to return to the United States.
The State Department has informed
Great Britain that January 81 will be
acceptable to the United States for the
Inauguration of the conference, reveal
ing for the first time the exact date
upon which the parley will convene.
This was done in response to re-
quests from London, Toxic, Paris and
Rome that the Washington Govern
ment indicate whether this proposed
date was suitable. Previous announce
ments had fixed the opening of the
conference no more definitely than the
third week in January.
The American delegation plans to
arrive in London some three or four
days before the conference begins, In
order to orient itself and be ready to
devote its attention solely to the work
of the parley once it is under way. 1t
will be preceded, however, by q large
part of the American mission, includ-
ing clerks, stenographerS and stan
members.
AS yet there has been no indication
of who the fifth member of the Ameri-
can commission will be. The leader OF
the delegation will be Secretary Stimson
and its members, so far announced
Ambassador Dawes and Senators Reed
of Pennsylvania, a Republican, and
Robinson of Arkansas, a Democrat.
Secretary Stimson is in Virginia or
a hunting trip over the week end. He
took with him extensive reports oi
previous naval conferences for study ir
odd moments. Upon his return he viii
enter upon a series of conferences with
Reed and Robinson.

WOMAN IS SLAIN
IN LIQUOR CHASE
Sheriff Says He Killed Femi-
nine Whisky-Runner When
She Threatened His Life.
BY the Associated Press,


HERINGTON, Kans., November 16.--
Mrs Louise Horton, IS years old. Kansas
City, an alleged liquor runner, was shot
and killed by Sheriff Sidney C. Ded-
eTick of Dickinson County when the
woman and her companion, Mat How
ard, attempted to escape in their
whisky-laden automobile here last night.
Clinging to the running board of the
car as 1t sped through Herington, Sheriff
Dederick said he shot the woman when
she drew revolver and threatened to
kill him.
Howard, who was driving, stopped
the car and submitted to arrest. He
said the woman had been drinking and
told officers he believed she would have
killed the sheriff had Dederick not
fired first.
Engaged as Driver.
Howard denied responsibility for the
40 gallons of liquor in the car and said
Mrs. Horton had engaged him at Law
renee. Kans., to drive the machine
for $50.
Sheriff Dederick received a tip yes
terday that car from Kansas City
carrying liquor would stop at a house
a mile east of here which had been
under observation as a hangout of
liquor runners.
accompanied py POl1ce Chief Arthur
Calkins, the sheriff went to the house
and after wait Of several hours a car
entered the yard.
The sheriff covered the occupants of
the car with his gun and ordered them
to halt, but they swerved and started
to drive away. He leaped on the
running board and the speeding car
started toward the business section of
Herington.
Woman Points Gun.
Seated on the sheriff's side of the
coupe, Mrs. Horton poked a gun in his
ribs.
"Jumpl" she ordered. Jump or I'll
shoot"
The car was moving at high speed.
The sheriff ordered the driver to stop,
threatening to shoot.
Behind the racing coupe came a
police car and other motorists attracted
by the excitement. When the liquor
car reached the Carnegie Library, al
most in the heart of the downtown
section, the woman cried out again:
Here's where 1 let you have it
unless you jump!"
The sheriff shot.
you're next" the sheriff told the
driver. Howard stopped the car.

CHICAGO, November 16.-An old IL
Nnois statute has been busted of and
found to point quick way out of mar
riage rivaling Reno.
The divorce action of Mrs. Betty
Hamburger against Nathan Hamburger,
an official of the Blum store in New
York City, revealed the statute. Judge
Joseph SABBATH, indicating he would
grant decree, said the law was quite
clear and that divorces might be granted
even though parties involved had no
legal residence here.
The law sets forth that If q husband
is cruel to his wife in Illinois she may
sue for divorce, even though the cou-
pie spent, only day In the State. The
State Supreme Court has upheld this
Interpretation. 1t is only necessary,
lawyers pointed out. that the act Of
cruelty be committed in the State.
Judge SABBATH expressed the opinion
that although the Hamburgers had been
here only q short time, they did not
come here especially seeking a divorce.

TONIGHT'S TARIFF
SESSION CANCELLED
Older Members Travelling
|. Pace That Kills, Walsh
Asserts.

The Senate today abandoned plans
for a night tariff session tonight after
an assertion by Senator Walsh, Demo-
crat, Montana, that older members were
travelling "the pace that kills"
The young guard" Republicans who
bolted their party leadership earlier
this week and voted against an ad-
journment from November % until the
regular session voted today for
abandoning tonight's session after
Senator Vandenberg Of Michigan, one
of the groups spokesmen, was assured
this would not interfere with night
sessions next week.
Six Democrats and one Republican
voted against the Walsh motion. They
were Senators Barkley, Kentucky; Con-
nally, Texas; Dill, Washington; Fletcher
and Trammell, Florida, and Hefiin,
Alabama, Democrats, and Waterman,
Colorado Republican.
Senator Walsh said it was "un-
gracious" for the younger members to
insist on longer sessions.
Senator Norris, Republican, inde-
PenuenG, NepEdSkd, WHO lS %, agreed
with Walsh. Speaking on behalf of
and as one of the younger members" +"
Norris said as the Senate laughed, "I
feel disposed to follow the advice and
stop this killing pace"
The Senate decided today to post
pone consideration of the sugar tariff
until Monday.
After passing quickly on several
amendments, progress toward the sugar
schedule was checked by an attack on
the bills duties on dairy products by
Senator Blaine, Republican, Wiscon-
sin.

ST|MSON PLANNING
STAFF REWS|ONS
Duties of Highest of Depart
ment'S Officials May
Undergo Changes.

By the Associated Press.
A reorganization of the State Depart
ment, which may involve a revision Of
the duties of some of the departments
highest officials. is expected TO be taken
up actively in the near future by Secre-
tary Stimson.
In addition to his plans for an ex-
pansion of the American foreign service,
If the required funds are appropriated
by Congress, the Secretary is now con-
sidcring changes which will affect the
permanent personnel directing the
work of the diplomatic service from the
department.
The recent appointment of Joseph p.
Cotton, prominent New York lawyer and
personal friend of the Secretary, to sue
ceed J. Reuben Clark, jr., as Under
secretary of State, was the first step in
Stimsons reorganization plans.
s-e--e Seeking Outside Ranks. s
The Secretary hopes to fll the assist
ant secretaryship which will be vacated
when Nelson T. Johnson, the present
incumbent, goes to China as Minister,
by another appointee outside the ranks
of the foreign service.
The duties of this Office are to be
changed from those solely concerning
Far Eastern affairs to a broader admin
istrative scope, possibly including de-
partmental and foreign service per-
sonnel. The direction of the Far Eastern
work in the department will be left
Ixlw AIRA tAv Is
beck, chief of the Far Eastern division.
Administrative duties of both the
diplomatic and consular services have
for number of years been in the hands
of Wilbur j. Carr, assistant secretary
in charge Of administration, but the in
creaSing expansion of the department
and the plans of President Hoover and
the Secretary for the future, will
probably make a division of these adj
ministrative duties necessary.
Extension Of Duties.
1t is also considered possible that the
work of William r. Castle, jr., now
assistant secretary In charge of Euro
pean affairs, may be extended to include
other duties.
The Latin-American division head
Assistant Secretary Francis White, will
probably retain the same work which
he is now doing without the addition of
further duties. The expansion plans
call for larger personnel In Latin
America and it is considered that this
additional personnel will make the
duties of this Office, together with its
present work sufficiently large for an
assistant secretaryship to be devoted
entirely to it.
The Secretary has given some atten-
ton to the question Of the appointment
of a counselor for the Department in
addition to the undersecretaryship.
The post Of undersecretary evolved
from that of counselor, which for many
years was next in rank to the secre-
taryship, but Stimson has reached no
decision on this point.
