TARDIEU AGAIN
SEEKS TO BUILD
FRENCH CABINET
Country Turns to Former
Premier, as ChautempS
Is Defeated.

By United Press
PARIS, Feb. 26.-France turned
again to Andre TardieU today as the
most Immediately available savior
of the tangled political situation
which has brought the five-power
naval conference in London to a
complete Standstill.
Tardieu visited the presidential
palace this afternoon and accepted
the invitation to head & new cab
met, after having refused to do so
in the morning.
Tardieu, with the powerful back
ing Of Raymond Poincare, Frances
master statesman, may be able to
form temporarily workable gov
eminent in place of the abortive
one of Camille Chautemps, defeated
Tuesday in the chamber of deputies.
Nine days ago the Radical Social
lists of the Left overthrow Tardieu
He wisely refused to attempt a new
government until the Radical So
cialistS had proved their inability to
govern. Chautemps attempted a
SOFC1 4n1lC4IO OOtlIllldUSQ ny OIlG 6bdA-
ical Socialists and was oven thrown
after five days, when he presented
his declaration of policy to the
chamber Tuesday. The -ote was
292 to 277, the Right and Center
bowling him down and clamoring
for Tardieu.
After comforting with parliament
tary leaders and finding Tardieu IA
vored, the president sent his per-
sonal automobile and had Tardieu
brought to the palace this morning.
When Tardieu refused the president
sent his automobile for Poincare.
Poincare, who is SO and has
undergone two serious operations,
said his health had returned, but
his doctors insisted a few months
complete repose. Poincare then
called Tardieu to his Paris resi-
dence, presumably advising him to
attempt a government.

CRUMP'S FIRM
GIGANTIC FRAUD
Judge Ponders Judgment
for Head of DefunCt
Securities Company.

Ending his criminal court trial on
Tuesday with an account Of his fall
from a "six-story building" and his
later three-year confinement in an
asylum for the insane, CAROLYN E.
Crump, a., Chicago f1nancier de
luxe. today is in the county jail
awaiting a court judgment on a
case in which he is charged with
selling securities Of an insolvent
issuer.
Crump. according to Criminal
.5.eige James A. Collins, trial judge,
headed the short lived Indiana Real
Estate Securities Corporation Of In
dianapolis, zone of the most colosal
frauds that ever victimized Hoosier
citizens"
Spicy bits Of gossip colored
Crump's forty-f1ve-minute story on
The witness stand, including an as
sertion that Frank z. Wright, In
diana securities commission audi
tor. paid a hasty visit to Crumps
sunptuous apartments in Indian
apolis when it became known that
higher authorities of the securities
commission had closed the Cont
mental bank building offices OF
Crump'S institution.
Told by Wright
Wright was the first person to
inform me Of the commissions &C
ton" Crump declared.
Wright. author Of the Indiana
Bone Dry Law, who admits he was
duped into becoming a party to
Crump's scheme by accepting post
of director" today emphatically
denied Crump's assertion.
"Crump made a misstatement If
he said I told him the action of the
commission" Wright said. He was
i'll at the hotel, and paid him a
social call"
In his testimony Crump termed
two of his associates, including Mark
w. Bemis. "a. Chicago attorney and
admitted partner of Crump, dirty,
embarrassing crooks as everybody
knows" Bemis, who turned state S
evidence to absolve himself of guilt
as founder of the Securities
Corporation, testified that on several
occasions ''he suspected something
wrong in Crump's business deal
ings."
EvadeS Vital Questions
Cross examined by Deputy Prose-
cutor Harry Cause. Crump evaded
vital questions with: Il don't re-
member"
Crump's proposed $4,000, 600
finance company, was organized to
sell stocks and bonds to form a
home building and loan concern,
Crump said
Among rebuttal witness called by
the state were associates of Crump
in the attempted formation Of a
similar organization in Illinois. An
ton Dick testified ne had advanced
$1,000 to Crump for that purpose.
Until I saw Crump, I was a
banker" Dick said in response to
a query as to his occupation.
Crump was defended by Charles
Kaelin, county pauper attorney, and
will be called before Collins at 9
Saturday morning for final DISPOSE
ton of his case.
