Guardian Refuses Grand

20 the death Of the Russian Gar.
BY SAMUEL DASHIELL
United Press stan Correspondent

PARIs, Feb. 1o.--Despite the fact
tnat the Grand Duke Cyril, pre-
tender to the Russian throne, has
made formal request for the pur-
ported remains of the imperial fam
ny, NJ Michel de Giers, present Gus
soolan OF them, steadily refuse on
the grounds that they belong 10
the Russians as whole and so must
oe held until an official monarch is
named.
Grand Duke Cyril, hearing that
the former Russian ambassador TO
[hone, de Giers, was custodian of the
remains, made an official request,
out de Giers still maintains his Sc
grecy regarding the four cases con-
tanning the remains and relics of the
imperial family.
The proof that the remains and
relics Of the imperial family are in
these boxes, Is convincing enough
70 Grand Duke cyril and living
members of the royal family, al
though some doubt surrounds the
fNSbo VI Vic StOIy.
Proof Believed Complete
The Grand Duke Alexander, one
Of the most prominent of the fam
~, believes that the White Rus
sian Judge Sokoloff's investiga-
tions at Ekaterinburg were based
on documentary fact and that the
proof is undeniable.
Prince Nicholas Orloff, comment
ing on the Sokoloff investigation,
declared: "Sokoloff was a man of
unquestioned honor and probity. He
would not have undertaken such a
mission and carried it out If he had
not measured every step.
Il consider Sokoloff's investiga-
ton as absolutely definite and re-
quiring but few additional proofs to
make it obvious that the caskets
now in Monsieur de Giers' posses
sion contain the ashes of the i'm
perial family"
Disagrees With SOkOlOff
The Count Kokovtzoff, former
premier Of Russia, who is also presi-
dent of an association of Russians
committed to preserve, the memory
Of Nicholas II, is inclined to dis
agree with Judge Sokoloff, but
nevertheless observes that COM
plete investigation must be made
when the time is opportune.
i, It is notable that in the boxes
there are more than three hundred
pieces of evidence and it is stated
that these should provide sufficient
evidence as to whether or not the
remains are those of the emperor
and his family.
Captain w. Dimitrief, former
military attache at Paris, who has
studied the proofs submitted by de
Caiers, stated that Grand Duke
Nicholas did not refuse to accept
the custody of the imperial remains
because he doubted their authentl-
city. but because he did not believe
himself qualified to accept such a
heavy responsibility.
1.-The grand duke considered that
M. de Giers would be the most logi-
cal person to guard them and keep
intact the various legal proofs OF
their authenticity" the captain said.

Police Awaiting
 Drivers Evidence
Necessary If Court Hopes to Convict Accused
 Pair

The testimony of truck driver who made early morning deliveries yesterday in the north end section of the city will be necessary if the police hope to obtain convictions in the cases of Ernest Ladd, 22, of 523 North Main street and Joseph Burns, 21, of 241 North Main street.
 They were arrested yesterday by Patrolman Robert Phelan. The later was making his rounds try ing the doors of store when he claims to have noticed the two ac- cused tossing a bag of vegetables into a Ford truck. He asked for an explanation and was informed that they were employed by the company and on a previous trip had left two more bags than they had intended. The officer recog- nized the two at the time, but ac- cepted their explanation. Later in the morning when the manager O.: the store complained that someone had taken two bags of supplies, Officer Phelan went after Burns and Ladd and took them into cus- tody on the charge of theft.
 In court this morning the man. ager or the CndtH SLore teStiIicu that he was two bags short. Burns and Ladd are not employees of the same company, but the testimony of the driver as the number of bags he left in the doorway of the store was deemed essential by Judge John F. McGrath and he ordered the police to summon him.
 Ladd was recently arrested on the charge of burglarizing a drug store in the Fairlawn section of the city and also for the Qlaston- bury police on the charge of burg lary. He proved an alibi in both instances.
 The cases of Norman c. David son, 2s, of IS woodbridge avenue. Ansonia, and Benjamin Dezinno. 31. of East Farm street, we're con tinued one day.
 Both are charged with operating motor vehicles while under the in- fiuence of liquor. They were taken into custody last Sunday evening following an accident on the Mer- iden road. Both deny the allega- tions of the police. fe

They are charged with hav- ing threatened arrest to one Tony Marine of Wolcott unless he turned over money to them as & protec- ton to his alleged moonshine bus iness. The state charges the two accused accepted SIS between them from Marine. They were ar rested soon after they accepted the money in Marino's home by Deputy Sheriff Henry Norton and Constables Edward Pracny and Joseph Klitka, who have testified that the $5 bills accepted by the accused were marked purposely as a trap for Todd and Fulgham.
 The defence as presented by At- torney Thomas F. McGrath is that Todd and Fulgham were collecting funds for the democratic party when they accepted the money last December 2d. Attorney McGrath in his argument to the jury termed the arrest the result of a political feud in Wolcott.

 BRITAIN IN ] CRISIS
Cabinet Has Suprem e Powers for Month
 Hope for StabiIization of Pound Expressed
BY KEITH JONES

London, October 1 = (UP1 - Great Britain was governed under a semi-dictatUtship today for the second time since the World War. Passage by both houses of parliament and grant of royal as- sent to the national economy bill gave the government of ten men the power to issue orders in coun- ell for one month. The cabinet. without consulting parliament, may effect any economies deemed ad- visable in education, national in- surance, police administration, un- employment. insurance, and road construction.
 The general strike of 1928 was the only other occasion on which Britain has been ruled by orders in council since the World war.
 With quasi dictatorial powers in the hands of Prime Minister Ram say Macdonald and his ministers. the nation joined the long list ruled since the war either by partial or full dictatorship, including Italy. Spain. Russia, Turkey, Poland. Hungary, Persia, Lithuania, Jugo- slavia, Alabama, and recently Germany. ..
 Government by orders in council became effective at midnight We'd nesday and brought to many Brit ishers hope for the early stabiliz- ation of the pound sterling at a reasonably high economic level. The hope was based chiefly on the authority given the government to transfer adjustment funds between any existing statutory funds.
 It was considered noteworthy that Macdonald in a recent speech touching on democracies and dicta- torships said that the real test of democracy was the ability to &C., cept dictatorship in a temporary emergency and the revert to de- mocracy without incident at the end of the emergency. AS the quasi-dictatorial powers were available only for one month and the British public is not like to become alarmed during the in- terim, no crisis was expected to develop from the emergency form of government.
 Great Britain's revenue for six months ending September 30 was 297,606,442 pounds sterling (nom- inally about $1,450,000,000) which was a decrease of 33,151, III pounds compared With the corre- spending period of 1880. The total ordinary expenditure for the last six months was 361,876,691 pounds or 64,270,249' pounds above the revenue.
 London police were prepared to- day to quell further demonstra- tions by unemployed, which ex- tended from Hyde Park to the city's west end shopping district, yesterday. and centered at Bow street police station, where a dozen demonstrators were arraigned. numerous shop windows were broken and the stirrups were cut from saddles of horses waiting for their riders on Rotten Row, fash ionab1e riding course in Hyde Park where the king and members of the royal family are sometimes seen.
 The question of a general-elec- ton remained indefinite, and clev- erly avoided by Mcdonald in the house of commons. He announced that parliament would be ad- journed next Wednesday, but left his political opponents guessing whether parliament would be dis solved during adjournment and a general election called late in Oc- tober,

New York, Oct. 1.-(UP).-The little short sale, tame and unas- suming in a bull market, has ac- ouired nation wide significance in this bear market. Talk is heard of congressional Investigations; the politicians are crying to high heaven to obliterate this gambling device that has wrecked the stock
 markets of the world and brought
 on the depression"
 When stock markets are rising, nothing is heard of the bear-the person who sells short, hoping for decline so he can buy back the stock so sold and thus make 8 profit.
 Now that the stock markets have been undermined for sundry req
 sons some persons have come to conclusions the bears are respon- sible for every shortcoming on the
 exchanges.
 It is so simple to sell short. You
 have an account at a brokerage off,
 flee with the usual amount of cash in that account. Just call up the
 broker and say: "Sell 100 steel al 75." He sells it. You do not have
 the stock, but why worry. The
 broker will borrow it and deliver
 the stock to the purchaser just as
 if you had made a sale in the reg ular way.
 If the stock declines to say Fl,
 you merely call the broker and say:
 Buy 100 steel at IT." That means & profit of points or $400 less
 commission for buying and selling and the tax for selling-all in all a
 profit of around $S40.00 for the deal.
 If the stock had gone up say to 80 you might. become frightened
 and cover at that level which
 would mean loss of more than $500.00 on the deal. Short selling
 has it's dangers as we'll as its com pensations. Opponents of short selling say it is pure gambling and so should be stopped. The stock exchange holds 1t is legitimate procedure. The short sale has been found
 legal in the highest courts of the
 land. But there is said to be a pros- pect that the U. s. congress and the
 New York state legislature may act to curtail such selling. Only a few days ago, President
 Richard Whitney of the Stock Ex-
 change, wrote New York lawyer
 as follows:
 "The short selling of securitiei finds a counterpart in the for
 ward sales or sales for future de.
