RICHIE SAYS PLAN
MAY RELIEVE u. S.
Present Hoover Action Called
Possibly Zone of Few"
Helpful to Nation.

Gov. Albert C. Richie Of Maryland
last night urged co-operation-hinged
on an "if'-with President Hoover's
proposal to revive business by freeing
frozen financial assets.
The four-term Governor. prominently
mentioned for the Democratic presi-
dental nomination, first attacked the
administration in an address before
the Woman's National Democratic
Club, then turned to the new Hoover
plan.
AS good citizens sick at heart over
the depression and anxious to bend all
our energies to relieve it." he said, lit
behooves US to study the far-reachinR
effects Of this plan and to cooperate
loyalty II 1t will help the country. If
1t will do that it will be among the
very few actions of the Government
which has"
Recalls Palo Alto Speech.
Richie spoke before 40 men and
women at the first of a series of din
ners at the club house, 1928 New Hamp-
shire avenue, at which the members
expect to hear all the Democratic Gov
errors this Winter.
Striking directly and repeatedly at
Hoover policies, the Governor declared
the European debt policy plan did not
settle very much" He hammered on
the 1880 tariff, recent Farm Board
moves and the depression. He left out
prohibition.
Calling up a Hoover speech at Palo
Alto In 109Q IN eAid az hat II,
President said that every women has
right to ask whether her mans job
will be better assured by the continu-
ance of the Republican party in power y
What" Richie asked, has the Re-
publican party to say to the woman who
asks where her mans job is now?"
With a warning from the adminiStra-
ton. the Governor asserted. the crash
might not have been SO bad"
Extension or Read justment?
Instead they told us to spend be-
cause prosperity was just around the
corner" he continued. Then the new
tariff was going to cure it all. When
the tarin did not turn the trick, 1t de-
veloped that the trouble was due To
world wide forces and international
repercussions,' and the Government
which, for 10 years, refused to recognize
any connection between German repara-
lions and foreign debts was forced to
recognize that there was a very direct
connection. and to propose and secure q
moratorium on that account. That
however, did not settle very much.
The vital time will come when the
year is up, when our Government will be
face to face with the question whether
our future welfare and the stability OF
the world require either an extension or
q readjustment."

WOMEN PRESENT
PEACE PETITIONS
Plea Signed by $4,000 Laid
Before Hoover After Tour
of rs States.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The plea of l25 900 women for peace
today was brought to President Hoover
by coast-to-coast caravan.
With Jane Adams and Helen Taft
Manning at its head, the 200 feminine
directed cars reached their goal bear
ing the gigantic petition against war.
Total and universal disarmament"
is its demand. The United States Gov
eminent is requested to instruct its
delegates to the February, 1882, Dis
armament Conference in Geneva Ito
take the necessary steps to achieve dis
armament"
Jane Adams Heads Group.
Veteran peace csmpaigner Jane
Adams, IL, accepted in Baltimore the
invitation to join the caravan for its
swing down Pennsylvania avenue to the
White House. She is honorary inter-
national president of the Women's
International League fer Peace and
Freedom, which sponsored the peace
petition tour. -......
Helen Taft Manning, daughter Of the
late Chief Justice, came directly to the
Capital to speak for the group in its
plea to the President.
Leaving the White House, the caravan
had two further meetings before dis
banding-a dinner tonight to permit
caravanners to tell how they peace
petitioned in l25 cities of Is States and
a mass meeting tomorrow, with Miss
Adams presiding.
Thus was Miss Mabel Vernon, former
suffrage campaigner, to climax her
l5-year coast to coast caravanning
career.
Fastest TOur Of Career.
Never before did Miss Vernon make
such a whirlwind finale. With a repu-
tation for keeping crcsS-country dates
with Pennsylvania avenue to a dot, she
arrived today six days ahead of
schedule.
When she left Los Angeles, June rs,
she had set October is to end the
l0,000-mile trip to the White house,
allowing only three days rest. But tires
and roads had improved even more than
she had reckoned. The caravan sped
smoothly, adding more States than
planned, in less time than figured. On
her first trip in 1915 cars got lost in
the desert and stuck in mud.
Then she led Women's suffrage
caravan, which collected SOC, 600 sigma
lures for White House delivery. The
next year Miss Vernon was again on the
transcontinental trail for suffrage. In
1919 she was engineering the prison
special for the National Woman's Party,
out for the vote. In 1925, with suf-
frage won, she made the coast o-coast
trip petition for more women in Con-
gress.

CAR LINES FAVORED
IN RULING ON FARE
Not Required to Enlarge on Al
legations of Appeals Against
Pupils Rate.

The street car companies do not need
to enlarge the allegations of their ap-
pealS from the order of the Public
Utilities Commission requiring them to
transport school children fer Scent
fare, according to a decision of Justice
Jennings Bailey of the District Supreme
Court. Justice Bailey overruled a mo-
ton of Peoples Counsel Richmond B.
Keech and Assistant Corporation Coun-
sci William A. Roberts for the commits
sion. who sought to have the car COM
panies go into more detail showing how
they figured that, it cost 6.972 cents to
transport each passenger carried by the
companies.
Keech and Roberts commended at
recent hearing of their motion before
the court that the companies had not
shown that it was necessary to put on
additional equipment or make additional
runs to accommodate the school chill
dren.
The action Of the court requires
Keech and Roberts to answer the
original '>stitions, which will be then
heard on the AgneFits. No date for o
hearing has been scheduled.

CRAMTON WILL co
TO IDAHO FOR u. S.
Former Representative Sent
on Claims Investigation to
Duck Valley Indians.

Former Representative Louis C. Cram
ton of Michigan, now a legal adviser to
Secretary Wilbur Of the Interior De-
partment. today was on his way to Duck
Valley, Idaho. where Indian claims to
water rights affecting the Owyhee irri-
CATION project have led Secretary Wilbur
to assign an investigator to the case.
Cramton, while acting as legal adviser
on claims arising in connection with
the building of Boulder City, Colo, near
where the site Of the Hoover Dam Is to
be located, was notified on July !, last,
that upon the completion of his Colo
RADIO assignment he would be sent to
investigate the Idaho claims. Cramton
was relieved Of his duties at Boulder
City en- October !. being replaced by
Sims Ely, who was recently appointed
city manager of the Federal city.
Post at Dam Called Temporary.
The ONCE of legal adviser was created
for Cramton nine months ago, shortly
after he had terminated his career Of
l6 years in Congress. His salary is
$4,000. During his time in Congress
he was chairman of the subcommittee
of the House Appropriations Committee
which handled Interior Department
affairs.
During the Spring he journeyed to
DOuAooA NiCy, WhcIC nc AtCchuC0 w
the legal work pertaining to leases
granted by the Government to stores
and other property holders in the new
city. In the early stages of this work,
department officials admitted. Cram
ton assumed rather an autocratic
position" in regard to conducting GER
tain phases Of affairs there. They ex-
planned that this caused some friction
between his ONCE and those Of the six
contractors on the project, but that the
matter was smoothed over to the
satisfaction Of all.
Isolation Report Denied.
Oficials claimed that Cramton went
to Boulder City with the understanding
that the assignment was only temporary
and that in the due course of time he
was notified that upon the completion
OF his duties at the dam he would be
assigned to Duck Valley. They denied
report that the new assignment would
take him to an isolated spot in Idaho,
where his only companions will be
white man and 800 Indians. Cramton
merely will visit Duck Valley and then
go to a nearby city, where he will make
an effort to adjust the claims, they
explained.
Cramton was a leader in District af-
fairs during his term in Congress. He
was acting chairman of the subcommit-
tee on the District appropriation bill
and was responsible for the now exist
ing $4,000, 900 annual lump-sum clause.
He was the author of the eSeorge
Washington Memorial Parkway and the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission acts. He also fostered
legislation for the restoration Of Ar
lington House and led the fight for the
preservation of Great Falls and the
gorge of the Potomac River.

SURRENDERS
CANNON CASE DATA
House Clerk Yields to RuIinu
Grand Jury Is Entitled
to Evidence.

After striving for two days to uphold
what he considered the jealous regard
OF the House Of Representatives for its
prerogatives, William Tyler Page, clerk
OF the House, today surrendered for the
inspection of the District grand jury
the original reports made by Bishop
James Cannon. jr.. of the Methodist
Episcopal Church South. and his secre-
tary. Miss Ada l.. Burroughs, OF tho
expenditures of funds contributed 20
the Anti-Smith Democratic Committee
OF Virginia during the last Presidential
campaign.
Justice James M. Proctor ruled yes
terday that the papers should be shown
the grand jury, because under the pro-
visions OF the Federal corrupt prac-
tices act. which Bishop Cannon and
Miss Burroughs are accused of violat-
ing, the reports are made subject to
public inspection and fall under the
exception contained in the House reso-
as prohibiting him from Surrendering
the records. Mr.. Page, the court held,
had misconstrued the resolution.
Inquiry Is Completed.
The grand jury adjourned at 10 min
utes before IL o'clock until Monday
morning. Assistant United States At
torney Wilson announced to newspaper
men that the inquiry had been COM
pleted and that a report might be ex-
pected within a week or 10 days.
Wilson decided not to ask the court
to impound the of1icial reports brought
by Mr. Page and permitted the clerk
OF the House of Representatives to take
the reports back to the files Of the
House after he had completed his teSti-
mony.
Mr.. Page waited in the ante room
while the grand jurors inspected the
papers. When they were returned to
him by Wilson he left the court house
The grand jury met at 10 O'Clock this
morning for a short session, which
under the law, had TO terminate before
noon. as Saturday afternoons are legal
holidays under a decision Of the Court
OF Appeals. Should the testimony be
not concluded by that time, it would
have to be resumed Monday. The grand
jurors will then vote On the question Of
making a presentment to the United
States attorney against one or both Of
the persons accused.
Convenience Considered.
TIE matter of the preparation CT an
indictment, II one is presented would
be left to the convenience of United
States Attorney Rover and Assistant
United States Attorney Wilson. The
decision of the grand jury will net be
made public before it reports to the
court
z. j. Armbruster. who told the grand
jury yesterday of the financial transact
tons of Bishop Cannon. had not COM
pleted his testimony when the grand
jury adjourned yesterday. He resumed
this morning and on the arrival of Mr.
Page with the official reports left the
grand jury room until Mr.. Page had
testified. He then resumed his testi-
mony.
Wilson said this would end the evil
dence to be submitted unless the grand
jury should ask for testimony from
some one or more persons whose names
have come out in the probe and who
have not been heard.

A. F. OF |. BEGINS
WAR ON SALES TAX
Gift Levy With Increased
Income and Inheritance
Assessments Urged.

BY the Associated Press.
VANCOUVER. British Columbia, oc-
tober 10.-The American Federation Of
Labor today launched a Nationwide
fight against the proposed passage by
Congress Of q sales tax.
After acclaiming q resolution against
the sales tax as presented by its Ex-
ecutive Committee. the hfty-hrst con-
vention of the federation urged the res
toration of the Federal gift tax and an
increase in Federal income and State
inheritance taxes as q means Of dis
posing OF the revenue problem.
A circular setting forth the fedora
tons stand was ordered distributed
throughout the Nation to bring about
pressure by local groups upon Their
Congressman.
Increased Taxes Feared.
The Executive Council said yesterday
the only persons to be benefited by
sales tax ARE the per cent of the
population who pay an income tax. The
burden Of taxation would fall upon the
80 per cent who do not pay an income
LdA' 1ney no" pay al lLIoheCI CdA VI!
everything they buy. The sales tax will
increase that tax load"
Verbal TRADES against all forms OF
convict labor and convict work occu-
pied the delegates for more than an
hour, as they sought means Of obtain
ing more work for the unions.
James Graham of Montana said I'VE
are confronted with the problem of
feeding 10 per cent of our people and
yet our Government apparently is more
worried about finding something for the
poor convict to do than about our JOB
less men,"
The Executive Committee stand, that
prison-made goods are not disapproved
when not sold in competition with prod
ucts of free labor, was Endorsed.
Other Resolutions Adopted.
Other resolutions adopted opposed
setting of maximum wage limits for ap-
plicants for appointment to Govern
ment service, favored demanding OF
Congress that all Government employees
in the Panama Canal Zone must be
United States citizens and asked that
Federal employment standards be i'm
proved.
Another favored probing the attitude
toward labor of all manufacturers seek
ing changes in protective tariffs, on the
theory that II higher tariffs were asked
Of Congress, it should be with the un-
Outstanding that the employer was OBJ
ligated to maintain the United States
wage standard.
The convention resolved that all
postal employees should be placed on q
five-day week basis without pay cuts
"as an example to private manufac-
turers." Observing their advocacy of
the tive-day week, delegates did not
meet formally today.
