CARNELL I RIAL
GAINS SPEED
International Newsresr

Trial of william j., Carnel and
Frank Mahoney. indicted on
charges of first-degree murder
in connection with the death Of
Louis Bush. bus line owner, moved
rapidly to its conclusion today
when nine witnesses testified for
the Government in the first 80
minutes of the opening session.
The trial is being conducted
before Justice Peyton Gordon and
a jury in Criminal Branch No.
2. of the District Supreme
Court.
The witnesses called today tes-
titled principally as to scenes
that occurred prior to the shoot
ing of Mr.. Bush in the garage
in the rear of his home on Full
ton Street Northwest, and to his
condition following the shooting
that resulted in his death.
Asked Few Questions
The defense attorneys did very
little croSS-examining Of any Of the
witnesses, and the few questions
they asked tended to accentuate
the testimony given for the
Government.
Judging by the questions asked
by Attorneys Louis WhiteStone
and w. r. Lichtenberg, named by
the court to defend Carnell, they
plan to show that Carnell did
not fire the fatal shot, but that
Mr.. Bush himself pulled the trig-
ger in the struggle that occurred
in the alley and in the garage on
the night of october 6.
The only excitement noticed
among the spectators came when
William L. Bush, son of the mur-
dered man, testified that Ma
honey came to him three days
after his father died, took his
hands and sy1npathized with him
over the death of his father. Mr..
Bush said that Mahoney then
asked him for a position as a

PROBE FOR !
EXCHANGE. !
Alabama Senator Would End
All Margin Trading; Wagner
Seeks Quiz Into Bread Prices

Federal regulation Of the New
York Stock Exchange, with ban
upon all margin trading and an
inquiry into bread prices, were
proposed in the Senate this after
noon by Democratic Senators as
a means Of relieving national un-
employment.
Senator Heflin CD Of Ala
bama introduced a bill outlawing
margin trading, limiting interest
on "call money" loans to 8 per
cent. and placing the New York
Stock Exchange under Govern
ment regulation.
Senator Wagner CD OF New
York, decrying the high cost of
bread when wheat prices have de-
clined, introduced a resolution
proposing an inquiry to deter
mine why bread prices have
failed to follow wheat prices.
HefIin Attacks Exchange
Heflin assailed the New York
Stock Exchange and charged that
speculation there had caused
serious injury to the business of
labor, the American farmer,
merchant, banker, manufacture
and the railroads." He said he
had no intention to halt legitimate
trading in stocks but only to out
law gambling and evil specula-
ton.
Heflin declared the stock ex-
change could be regulated by the
Federal Government because most
Of its transactions were Of an
interstate character" with stocks
bought and sold in every State
Of the Union.
II it is purely a State institu-
tion," he demanded that Gov.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, of New
York, Immediately take steps to
halt its gambling and speculative
activities.
Laws Should Be Issue
The Alabaman expressed the
hope that regulation of the
Stock Exchange would become a
paramount issue in the 1892
campaign. He said either Presi-
dent Hoover or Governor Roose-
velt, who might become the
Democratic nominee, should make
this regulation a campaign issue.
Heflin declared the Stock Ex-
change was a colossal institu-
ton" and ''itS continued exiS-
tence is a matter of serious con-
Germ to every State in the Un-
ion." He concluded:

FORTUNE
S. S. AIesia TraiIed by Agents
From Providence to N. T.;
1,100 Pounds Apprehended

The biggest haul Of "dope" in
many months was made by Fed
eral agents in New York harbor
today when they swooped down
and seized from the s. s. Alesia
q consignment Of 1,1O0 pounds
Of morphine, valued in excess Of
$1,000, 900.
Acted on European Tip
Announcement Of the seizure
was made here by the customs
authorities.
The raid was conducted by a
joint force Of customs and mar
cotic agents.
Information came to the Fed
eral authorities from abroad some
time ago that a large consign-
lnent Of morphine had left Con.
Stantinople for New Lork.
The agents put the AleSia un-
der surveillance when she made
Providence, r. l., and followed
her into New York.
Containers Labeled tsFurSS
! They allowed the stuff TO be
landed and sent TO the customs
Warehouse. The containers were
labeled "Furs."
After awaiting for a. time for
the owners to come forth and
claim the shipment, without sue
cess, the agents. confiscated it.
An investigation is now pro-
ceeding to establish the owners
and shippers.
H. j. Anslinger, commissioner
Of narcotics, said he believed the
smugglers on board the Alesia
were frightened when package
Of a legitimate shipment Of mar
coticS, consigned to American
druggists. disappeared.
The ships officers made a
vain search for the missing pack
age.
Believed Part Of Clique
Anslinger estimated the dope
would have netted the smugglers
about one billion dollars because
it is peddled for between $50
and 500 an ounce.
Apparently the ring is a part
of the clique that was broken up
in New York several months ago,
AnSlinger said.
Thirty persons were arrested at
that time, IS Of whom are now
facing possible deportation.
He said the steamship is
operated by the Compagnie
Cyprien Fabre, a French concern.
Gregory O'Keefe, a customs
agent, directed the investigation
which led to the seizure.

Mrs. Maude Ford Denies She
Got Rector Drunk; Charges
Mrs. Lee Made Statement

'FOr long years, destiny cast
me about like chip on the
current; then finally entered
the harbOr Of your dear arms"
This passage and others Of .
similar nature were contained
in q series Of warm love letters
admitted in evidence in the $5O,-
900 slander suit Of Mrs. Maude
Bell Ford, wealthy real estate
woman, against Mrs. Marguerite
Du Pont Lee. said to have been
written by Mrs. Lee to the Rev.
Thomas w. Reynolds, former rec
tor of Grace Church in George

ber Of the wealthy Delaware family
OF Dupont, of saying in q loud
voice, in the presence. Of a number
OF other persons in the Parish
Hall of st. Paul's Church, that
Mrs. Ford had gotten the rector

The incident referred to In the
suit took place in February, 1928,
during 4 healing mission which

Passages Are ROmaNtic
Mrs. Lee referred to herself as
the stormy petrol" in her letters
to the young rector, one Of which
ended:
'LOYe dear heart, from your
stormy petrol"
The letter began:
'fMy own dearest and best
friend.
"And have not you and ], un-
der differing stars; with diff
fering ideals, leading different
lives, been brought together;
not as helpless pawns ON the
chesSbOard of time, only to be
thrust apart again?"
One passage reads:

man beings; cOnsecrated to and
courageous In our devotion to
each other; not simply strug-
Cling heIplessly i'm the grip Of
forces mightier Tar than we.
