BUYERS TESTIFY
IN SHAPIRO TRIAL
Home Purchasers and Sales.
man Say $500 Trust on
Property Was Hidden.

Three witnesses, two buyers and q
salesman, testified today in the trial of
Jacob Shapiro, realty operator, in Dis
trictN Supreme Court on charges of
placing hidden trusts on realty, that
they transacted for the transfer of a
piece of property without knowing that
in addition to an SO, 900 first trust. there
was an additional $4,000 trust on the
property.
The two buyers were Mr. and Mrs
w. Calhoun Fur, who testified they
street from the Joseph Shapiro Realty
Co., Of which Jacob Shapiro is presi-
dent. The salesman, not now connected
with the Shapiro firm, was Louis Paul
hemus. with whom Mr.. and Mrs. FUR
negotiated for the transfer of the Ho-
bart street property.
"a Properties Held Involved.
The case on trial is based on one
of a number of indictments against
Shapiro, charging him with dispcsing
of property on which there were hid
den trusts" and is the outcome of the
current Senate investigation.
In his opening statement to the jury
yesterday afternoon, Assistant District
Attorney John w. Finely charged that
Shapiro placed hidden trusts" total
ing 100000 on "a pieces of property,
and that he sold the Hobart street resi-
dence to Mr.. and Mrs. Fur without
revealing the fact that there was, in
addition to the $4,000 first trust on the
property, an additional $4,000 trust.
Mr.. Fur was the first witness in the
case this morning He said that ne first
started negotiating for the Hobart street
property in November, 1923, completed
the deal In the latter part of that
month and took possession in Deem
Der, 1928. It was not until one year
later. he testified, that he learned that
there was the additional trust of $4,000
on the house and grounds. The noti-
flcation came In the form of letter
from a mortgage concern, he stated.
Salesman Takes Stand.
Mrs Fur corroborated Mr.. Furr's tes-
tinnony and added that she would not
have consented to the transfer of her
home on North Carolina avenue south
east and cash and deferred payment
considerations had she known there was
another trust in addition to the stated
$4,000 first mortgage.
PaulhemuS testified he was the sales
man for the Shapiro concern who first
started negotiations with Mr.. and Mrs.
Fur for the transfer of the Hobart
street property. He said that at the
time OF the sale Of the Hobart street
property he was not aware that there
was any other than the $4,000 first
trust Numbering the property and so
represented the property to the Furrs.

employed to solicit prospective custo-
mers. He asserted the potential patrons
obtained in this manner were provided
frse transportation by automobile to
the properties some three or four miles
beyond the spot where the District line
crosses Sixteenth street extended.
He added they then were served a
free lunch, after which a lecture was
given by one of the officers. He ex-
planned this lecture dealt principally
with civic development and tales OF
money making.
Abernethy said the women then were
shown over the property by highly
trained statesmen.
Closing Of Deal.
At this point Abernethy related the
woman would be ushered into "cubby
hole" about 4 feet square. A man
known as a financial manager then
would enter the booth and seek to
close the deal. He said they were
successful in many instances.
LESS than / per cent of the people
| talked to-" Abernethy said, were men.
Practically all of them were woman
from As years of age up. Many of
them were widows, more or less de-
pendent on their relatives for support"
Il was one of their first victims last
May" Mrs Carr told the committee
Immediately after being called to the
stand
Did you pay anything for your
lunch?" Senator Blaine inquired.
mo" the witness responded, but I
paid plenty before I got out of there"
Frequently drawing laughter from the
crowd which filled the committee room
to overlooking, Mrs. Carr intoned her
story.
This man." she said. as she pointed
to one of the spectators, footed his
horn so fast that didn't think there'd
be enough lots to go around. He did
that to excite us and stimulate sales :"
The witness said she was among $50
women present the day she bought a
lot. She said the money she invested
represented the greater portion Of her
life savings. She insisted she had been
promised she would make a profit of
5000 within month through a resale
She said she had acceded to a request
Of representative of the company to
turn over to him her bank book.
No Previous Experience.
The woman declared he failed to full
fill his promise TO return the record and
she found 1t necessary to call for it..
Questioning brought out that Mrs. Carr
had been given nothing in writing,
which told any promise of resale. She
explained she had had practically no
previous experience in real estate trans
actions.
Mrs. Carr said she failed to examine
the title of the lot she began buying
prior to the time when a foreclosure
was entered because of her failure to
keep up the payments. She said she
had been told her money would be re-
funded should she find 1t impossible to
meet the obligations. She contended
that officials of the company had de-
clined, however, to carry out this agree
ment.

WOOL MEN BENEFIT
BY STERILIZATION
Price Holds Up, While Other
Commodities Fall, Coop.
Official Says.
BY the Associated Press.


COLORADO SPRINGS. Colo, De-
cember 10.-Wool growers and manu-
facturers have received benefits from
cooperative efforts to stabilize wool
prices during the past year, r. j. Hag-
enbarth, president Of the National Wool
Growers Association. said in opening
the siXty-sixth annual convention OF
the association mere today
For the first time he said. the wool
grower is receiving full benefit OF the
wool tariff. and wool has fairly held its
price within a narrow range Of fluctua-
ton when other staple commodities
have fallen violently to lower levels.
Activity of the association in connec-
ton with the recent tariff revision was
reviewed by Mr.. Hagenbarth. Taking
the new tariff as whole and reducing
its effects to dollars and cents, the
grower is better off by a considerable
margin as we'll as the establishment of
valuable precedents in wool tariff
writing" he concluded.
He said that up to date the Federal
Farm Board and the National Wool
Marketing Corporation have made good
100 per cent.
Urging further efforts for advertis-
Ing to increase lamb consumption, he
said study and statistics lead to the
| conclusion that there is no overproduc-
ton Of lamb, but underconsumption
"One of our major labors during the
next few years must be the education of
our fellows as to the necessity Of the
advertising plans which we now have
initiated" A fund of $l25000 is TO be
raised for advertising this year, he said.
and the Executive Committee Of the
national association has proposed a
fund Of 100000 as a mark at which to
aim.

dent Of the National Wool Marketing
Corporation, in an address said that
since the corporation began operating
in February, this year, it has controlled

DESCRIBES SOVIET
SUCCESS IN RUBLES
KaIinin Points to Millions In
vested in Industry and Ag,
ricuIture Since 1917.
The following Is the second of a
series OF four articles upon condi-
tons in Russia.
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press STAFF Correspondent.


MOSCOW. December 10.-The claims
of the Soviet government to real
achievements in the 10 years of its
existence are described in terms of
billions of rubles by Michael Kalinin
president of the Central Executive Com
mittee of the U. S. S. r., in recent
speech
Kalinin said that since the revolu-
ton in 1917 the sum of 10000 100000
rubles had been invested in industry
in Russia and 26,400 100000 rubles in
agriculture. (The ruble is supposed to
be worth about so cents.) Most of this
huge total, it was explained, was pro-
vided from government funds, but a
portion of the agricultural expenditures
was made by the peasants themselves.
Summarizes Communism.
The results of communism. Kalinin
said. can be summarized as follows:
During the reconstruction period
(the past six years. Soviet Russia built
2,222 new factories and plants, 800
power stations and 1868 kilometers
Of new railways.
THE total output of Soviet industry
Is almost double the prewar period
During the past six years farm machin-
cry plants produced 1.160, 000,0 900 rubles
worth Of machinery and next year it Is
expected Cney Will turn out some S0O,-
100000 rubles' worth of these neces-
sary aids to agriculture. Only 10000
tractors were manufactured in the six
year period, but in 1881 alone this
number will be exceeded.
Farm movement Gains.
"The collective farming movement is
gaining in popularity and at present
the community farms are cultivatinc
some 100000 hectares of land. "a
hectare Is equivalent to 2.47 acres }
The "socialized sector" which includes
both state and collective farms, has
about 100000 hectares under cult
walton.
Within the past six years the gov
eminent has spent 2,100,00O.O 900 rIibIes
on the construction of new houses. The
housing problem is rapidly being elini.
mated and 1t will be but q short time
until we have comfortable quarters for
everybody living in the cities. The
urban centers have become overcrowded
In the recent years, but the Soviet gov
eminent has added $500 900 SQUARE
meters of living space to the badly
crowded quarters
Finally, the government has estab-
Ished number of new universities
hundreds of scientific research institu-
lions and many thousands of neu
clubs, schools, Libraries, hospitals, sana-
torlums' rest homes, ETC."
