NORMAN COMING
TO TALK MONEY
EngIand's Mystery FinanCier
viii Discuss Gold and
Probably Silver.

NEW YORK, March 28.--Montagu
Norman, Englands mystery man OF
finance and governor of the Bank of
England, is coming to America Friday
to talk to American men Of money
about money.
Mr.. Norman has been here before
most mysteriously, and he has talked
about gold. He probably will talk about
gold this time-and he may talk about
silver. Mysteriously and quietly, of
course, since he usually travels incognito
and has little to say for the press.
For months f1nanciers have sought TO
bring silver out of its present slough
of despond. Production has not in
creased materially, but sales by India, in
its return to the gold standard and by
other countries to lessen the silver con-
tent Of their coinage, have glutted the
markets
Hoover Conference Seen.
The situation became so acute that
President Hoover was authorized by the
recent Congress to call an international
silver conference.
silver men expect the President, fol-
lowing his return from the West Indies,
20 call that conference.-the call it, per-
haps, while Mr.. Norman is here.

announced here.
May Discuss "BrowneH Plan"
He may discuss the "BrowneT plan,"
presented by Francis H. Brownell, chair
man Of the board of the American
Smelling e. Refining Co.
The plan proposes that the United
States, England, including India, France,
including Indo-China, and as many
other governments as possible, arrive at
a "gentleman'S agreement" that no sale
viii be made, for stated period-say
three years. or until further notice
of any silver now or hereafter owned
by each government at less than some
fixed price, say, for example, so cents
per ounce.

governments will purchase the amount
of silver they are now authorized by
Law to purchase for subsidiary coinage
whenever the price Of silver in the open
market is below the figure to be agreed
upon as above ESQ cents per ounce, for
example).

NEW DRIVER LAW
EFFECTIVE JAN. |
Maryland Auto Financial Re-
sponsibi|ity Act 0bIiga-
tiOns Severe.

Imposing severe financial obligations
on all motorists who use Maryland
roads. the automobile financial re-
sponSibility act. passed by the 1881
General Assembly and signed by Gov.
Richie, will become effective January /.
Affecting not alone the residents Of
Maryland but making motorists Of the
District OF Columbia, Virginia, and all
other States subject to cancellation OF
their right to drive in Maryland. the
new law will take It's place along with
the Maryland title law, and the annual
State wide save-a-Iife campaign as a
means Of keeping the irresponsible
driver and his dangerously decrepid
machine off the highways.
The law provides that operators
licenses and registration certificates
shall be suspended in the State of
Maryland under the following circum-
stances:
vehicle while under the influence of
liquor or narcotic drugs
2. Conviction OF violating any Of the
motor vehicle laws of the State result
ing in the death Of one or more persons
3. Conviction of leaving the scene Of
an accident without making identity
known
4. Inability Of a motorist to satisfy
within 80 days any final judgment for
bodily injury or death. or a judgment
in excess Of $50 for damage to prop
erty Of others resulting from an auto
mobile accident.
The law further provides that licens-
es once suspended for any OF the fore
going reasons shall not at any time
thereafter be renewed unless the mo-
torist can give proof Of his ability to
pay for damage to the property Of 9TH
erS up to $1,000. and for injuries to
persons up to 10000
This proof CT ability to pay may be
demonstrated in one OF three ways:

PLAN HELD FUTILE
Secretary Lamont Sees Pro.
gram as Impossible in In
forming Kansas Official.
BY the Associated press

BY the Associated Press.
Topeka, December 15.-Secretary of
commerce Lamont yesterday informed
thurman Hill of the Kansas Public
service Commission that he believed 1t
10 be "practically impossible" to per-
suaoe importing companies to stop all
imports of Oil products and to curtail
CRUDE imports to 100000 barrels a day.
Mr Hill, Gov. Harry NJ Woodring' S
representative on the Nine-S Oil
ADVISORY Committee, then issued a state
meht saying the only hope now is re-
course to Congress for tariff and. en-
barge legislation"
Curtallments Of imports had been
suggested by Commission Hill as a
means OF bolstering domestic crude
prices. states Of the Midcontinent area
are closely restricting production at
present by agreement.
Doubts Good in Plan.
Judging from the difficulties encoun-
tered IN bringing about the original
reduction OF 25 per cent (on the basis
OF 1923 IMPORTS" Secretary Lamont
said Il believe 1T will be practically I'M
possible 10 bring these companies to
Your point Of view And even II they
agreed 1t is doubtful If this reduction
in imports would accomplish what you
have in mind, Secretary Lamont said.
Those companies operating in the
foreign field will not close their plants.
They most certainly will make an effort
to market their product in foreign
countries and this will have the effect
OF cutting down our exports OF these
products. For many years our total ex-
ports Of oil products have been more
than double our total imports. As you
know, our exports of gasoline have been
three to four times our imports.
The solution OF the problem. there
fore. seems to be in an understanding
with all foreign producers, and this, !
believe, can be best brought about by
your own committee, as suggested in my
address at the meeting of the American
Petroleum Institute, in Chicago, No
vember II.
In view Of present disturbed world
economic conditions, l doubt if much
can be accomplished in the way Of in
ternational cooperation for some
months at least"
Hills Statement.
Commissioner Hills statement:
Apparently, official Washington can
not do anything to help the oil indus
try The only hope now is recourse TO
Congress for tariff and embargo legisla-
ton
An international conference is not
necessary or adviSab BILE. The oil COM
panies importing oil are all American
companies. Why go to Hague or Lon

or regulating production? 1t is just an
other example OF greed on the part Of
