.HERR|CK IS HELD
FOR COURT TRIAL
Former Representative Ar
rested Operating Still at
Great Falls, Md.

BALTIMORE, Md, August a.
Manuel Herrick, former Oklahoma
Representative, was held in $1,000 bail
pending a Federal Court trial, when he
was arraigned today before United
States Commissioner Harry M. Aber-
crombie on charges Of manufacturing
and possessing intoxicants.
The charges against Herrick grew out
of his arrest at a still near Great Mills,
St. Marys County, August last. Will
liam F. Airey, the reputed owner of the
still, and Plus B. Ennels, Negro, who
were caught near the still, with Herrick,
also weer held in 81 500 bail each.
Airey and Ennels were represented by
Harry Camalier, st. Marys County at
torney, but Herrick acted as his own
lawyer, punctuating his interrogation OF
witnesses with frequent side comments.
Since the time of his arrest. Herrick
has Steadfastly contended that he was in
the vicinity of the still only for the pur-
pose Of obtaining knowledge Of dry law
violations The agents who took him
into custody testified that he was pass
ing buckets of mash to a colored man.
In support of his argument that he
was working in the interest of pro-
iiibition enforcement, Herrick placed on
the stand today as defense witness
John P. Moore, senior clerk in the
Prohibition Enforcement Bureau.
Promised Herrick Aid.
Herrick drew from, Moore the asser-
ton that Moore had promised Herrick
that he would attempt to get COM
pensation" for the former Representative
II Herrick gave the enforcement de-
partment information of prohibition
violations of major importance.
Moore said that Herrick came to him
last July and asked If he could get a
position in the Prohibition Department.
II told him there wasn't chance"
Moore testified.
Under cross-examination with the
former Congressman, Moore later adj
mitted that he made the statement
about violations of major value, but
added: 1T warned him that he was
requesting evidence at his own risk and
the Department could assure him no
protection"
Herrick told Commissioner Aber-
crombie that he had hoped 70 place
another defense witness, Mr.. Morris
McGrath, on the stand, but that he
was OUT OI VOWH.
Witness Knew Of Work.
According to Herrick, McGrath knew
of his work on behalf of the prohibition
department. In fact, the former Con-
gresham said, McGrath had acted as
a sort of intermediary for him, because
1T was useless for me to attempt to
get letters concerning information OF
dry law violations through the st.
Mary's County post office"
When Herrick took the stand in his
own defense, he admitted that he was
in Airey's employ, and said that he
had been working as hired hand
about the Airey place. cutting and
hauling wood and planting potatoes.
He added that it is his present opinion
that Airey is neither the owner nor the
operator of the still.
At the time of his arrest Herrick
was wearing blue denim shirt, overalls
and hobnailed shoes. Today hae was
more nattily attired. But, as q parcel
of baggage, he carried battered suit
case bound with rope.

Although she was beset by headwinds

hands Of the States, together with the
State appropriations Gov. Caulfleld
said it would aid toward relieving
farmers in the driest areas.
Before leaving Missouri for the con-
ference, he added, he urged his State
highway commission to speed up work
on roads to furnish relief through en-
ployment.
The Missouri executive. a friend of
Secretary Hyde for many years, ex-
pressed confidence that the conference
will result in an organization that will
go a long way toward relieving the
drought situation"
In any plan for relief, Caulfield said
Missouri can spend "a good deal of its
own money in that direction"
The Governor added any real human"
distress can be taken care of locally"
Caulfleld said all Missouri was in
the drought area, but the sections where
crops were entirely destroyed were lin
tied.
Recent rains, he added, have stopped
further damage.
While in the city Gov. >Caulfield will
be the guest of Secretary Hyde.
Gov. Hammill, joining in advocating
immediate relief steps, proposed the
Farm Board dispose of the surplus crops
In the stricken areas as feed for cattle.
Let's make the Farm Board useful
as well as ornamental" Hammill said.
The Iowa Governor expressed the
hope that the American Red Cross
would extend relief to those who may
be suffering. He said the Government
should outline some program whereby
loans may be made to farmers for seed
for next years crop.
Gov. Hammill was one Of the few to
bring with him an optimistic note. He
said recent rains in Iowa had improved
conditions noticeably and he believed
the corn crop would be 10 per cent
of normal at the worst.
White Room Conference Scene.
The scene 70 the Governors confer
ence was the stately white room in
the Executive Mansion, where signifl-
cant events in the national history have
taken place.
AS the Governors gathered the first
large-scale relief measure already was
under way. Railroads were extending
so per cent freight rate reductions to
farmers In more than 800 counties In
eight States selected by Secretary
Hyde as the ones most in need Of i'm
mediate aid.
The States named were Virginia,
West Virginia, Maryland, Ohio, Indiana,
Kentucky, Tennessee and Pennsylvania.
The rates applied on feed shipped in
ana on cattle shipped 70 grazing
grounds, but not to market. A further
list of counties to cover the entire area
IN need was being compiled by the
agriculture chief.
On guard against food profiteering as
result of the drought, the Agriculture
Department undertook to put into eff
feet today or tomorrow system by
which the consumer will have full in
formation on the quantities of vegetA-
bles and fruit available at the principal
markets. Daily reports will be issued,

ROTHSCH|LD TELLS
OF BUCKET SHOPS
Warns Public Against Buying
Stocks Through Disreputa-
r bic Brokerage Concerns.

Conduct of q bucket shop and the
earmarks by which one can be recog-
nized by the layman were explained by
Louis Rothschild, director of the Wash

MFR. Rothschild warned that illegal

however, 1t was explained, there Is

The danger of such a system, Mr.
Rothschild pointed out, is that the oper-
ator, never of any great financial re-
sponSibility, may be unable to pay. In
that case those who have been trading
with him lost all their investment, since
there has never been any actual pur-
chase Of stock as security.
One of the sureSt indications that
brokerage concern is run on an Illegal

margin demanded on purchase OF stock.
He said the bucket shop will require
only about half the sum necessary TO
