LAID, SAYS BANKER.
Investment Association Head
Declares Price Boosts
Strengthen Morale.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, w.
Va. November Strengthened public
morale following upon the improve
ment in commodity markets has laid
the foundation for imminent economic
recovery, Henry T. Ferris, president OF
the Investment Bankers Association,
said today
Mr., Ferris. executive vice president
of the First National Company OF 81.
Louis, gave a picture Of present ousl-
ness conditions In a discussion Win
newspaper men, preparatory to the
opening Monday of the assoclaticns
convention.
Recalls Break Prediction.
He recalled how at the 1929 conven-
ton, the then president, Roland A.
Wilbur, of Cleveland, warned that IN
flation had gone too far and predicted
the break which followed.
Now, said Mr.. Ferris, perhaps we
have come to the other end. We have
every hope that the meeting OF this
convention will mark the turn, not be-
cause we are meeting but because we
seem fortuitiously to have chosen
time for meeting when the def1ation-
airy process has run its course.
Coming from the West, am i'm
pressed with the betterment OF public
morale as a result of the commodity
market improvement, and while 1 DO
not want to indulge in any platitudes
about this being the time to buy. 1
think we have laid the necessary
foundation for sensible growth.
Depression Price Of Defects.
"I think there has been too much
said already about bargains and too
many illogical predictions of prosperity.
certainly do not propose SO to predict.
Depression Is the price we have had
to pay for the defects in our economic
system. 1 think we have paid and that
the time is at hand for advance.
I'VE cannot hope for rapid change,
but I believe we have laid the founda-
ton for a sounder structure than we've
seen In a good many years"
The bankers will continue to pre-
pare their reports tomorrow and will
make authorized presentation to the
convention when it opens.

ginning of the first Of the police

The policemen are under suspension
awaiting the outcome or the trial.
The Governments witnesses have
been interviewed by Rover and Keith
during the past two days and are pre-
pared to tell the jury details of the
alleged beating of Harker with a rub
Der hose and with fists by the officers
in an attempt to force him to admit
that he had committed case of house
breaking and larceny Of which they
accused him.
Rover to Conduct Case.
Rover will conduct the prosecution
in person while the officers will be
represented by Attorneys James A.
O'Shea and John H. Burnett.
1t was the reporting to the press of
the alleged assault on Harker by his
attorney, S. McComas Hawken, that
inaugurated the inquiry into treatment
by police of prisoners and suspects,
which has resulted in the indictment
Of 18 policemen, three of whom are

under suspension. Inspector Louis j.
Stoll undertook an investigation into
the alleged assaults and obtained state
mentS by all the persons in the precinct
at the time that Harker had not been
abused.
Commissioner Herbert B. Crosby. in
charge of police administration, was
absent on his vacation when the mat
ter arose and DR.. Reichelderfer, presi-
dent of the Board of Commissioners,
took the matter to the White House
and requested President Hoover to ask
the Department of Justice to make a
sweeping inquiry into brutality charges
against the police. j. Edgar Hoover,
in charge of the departments Bureau

inquiry and called Keith and a num-
Der of other operatives to get the de-
tails.
Nearly week was occupied in pre-
senting the cases to the grand Jury,
which had indicted five of the police
men, and were about to report con-
corning several others when it was dis
covered that there was serving on the
grand jury a Spanish War veteran
who was receiving a pension from the
United States. and which was regarded
as invalidating the indictments re-
ported by that grand jury. The cases
had to be again submitted to the new
grand jury, which promptly reported
indictments covering the Harker case
and also indicted Is other officers for
simple assault on prisoners in some
cases and with assaults with a rubber
hose and with a wooden club in other
cases.

INTER-CAPITAL PHONE
SYSTEM is INSTALLED
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A new long-distance telephone sys-
tenn was installed yesterday at the
State Department, which will place all
its high officials within speaking dis
lance of European capitals.
Secretary Stimson said the system
was the first of its kind to be installed.
He predicted the line would do a great
deal of business when asked whether
it was decided upon with the approach
ing disarmament conference at Ge-
neva particularly in mind.
The new system is viewed by Secre-
tary Stimson as particularly valuable
in that IL will permit members of his
staff to listen in on important CONVEX
sations on matters in which they are
working in cooperation with the Sec
rotary.
The equipment will have its baptism
on Monday, when the Secretary will
speak with the Rumanian foreign min
lister on the occasion of the opening of
direct telephone communication with
that country.

LOST GIRL FOUND
IN POLICE HANDS
Mothers Several Appeals for
Aid Rewarded After Mis-
understanding.

After making three appeals to the
police following the disappearance OF
her Swear -old daughter, Mrs. Matte
Warren located the girl-to find that
she had been picked up by an oflcer
nearly "a hours before, the mother de-
clared last night.
Mrs. Warrens daughter, Ruby, dis
appeared about $3.50 O'Clock Friday
afternoon, while the two were selling
candy in the 800 block of Seventh
street. When a search of the downtown
section failed to disclose any trace Of
the child, her mother, a widow, went
to police headquarters.
IT spoke to policeman on the first
floor" said Mrs. Warren, who lives at
1923 Fifth street, land he sent me to
the Detective Bureau, on the floor
above. There ] gave another officer
my little girls name and description,
tell him my address, though, because
I'd just moved the day before and
wasn't sure about it.
Police Phoned by Friend.
1.-THE next morning I had a friend
telephone headquarters and give them
my address. My friend was told that
search was being made for Ruby and
that I'd be notified as soon as she was
located"
At about the same time as Mrs. War
rem was making her first report to the
Detective Bureau, however, Policeman
j. B. Trittipoe of the FIRST precinct
found the girl on r street.
Cold and hungry, Ruby was taken to
the police station, where Trittipoe and
other officers fed her. About 80 am,
after the child had been transferred to
the Receiving Home, Trittipoe broad
cast her name, age and description to
all precincts.
Fifteen hours later, after having
waited all day to hear from the police,
Mrs. Warren went to the second in
spection district headquarters and again
reported her daughter missing. The
officer on duty there consulted the tele-
type records and discovered the report
broadcast from the first precinct. He
put Mrs. Warren in taXicab and told
the driver to take her to the Receiving
Home.
Deny Mothers Visit.
At the Traffic Bureau, on the first
floor of the headquarters building, it
was said a woman answering Mrs.
Warrens description had come in Fri
day night and reported her daughter
missing but she was referred to the
Womens Bureau Attaches of the
Womens Bureau declared they had no
record of Mrs. Warren having made
such a report to them, and a similar
statement was made at the Detective
Bureau.
When Ruby was taken to the Receiv-
ing Home, she said she was not sure
whether her name was Warren, Ward
Lee or Swami. She was unable to tell
where she lived. probably for the reason
| that she had just moved to the Fifth
street address from 939 L street.
, Mrs. Warren's husband died about a
year and a half ago. when the family
was living In Newport News. Va. She
and her daughter came to Washington
last Easter and have since been earning
a livelihood by selling candy on down.
town streets.
I'm happy to have my little girl
back" Mrs. Warren said, land, believe
me, I'm going to keep my eye on her
hereafter And 1 don't think she'll get
any farther away from me than she has
to in the future, either"
