Murray Tells Farmers Union
New Policy Needed to Pre-
vent Destruction

DeS Moines, Nov. l7.-tPp-The Ma
tional Farmers Union opened its ses-
sicnS Tuesday with pre-convention
warning from Gov. William H. CAL
falfa Bid Murray that the economic
lever must be reversed or the country
will march on to destruction"
The farmer and middleman must
be freed from the chains of Wall
Street." if prosperity is to return. the
sage of Tishomingo" told 1900 dele
gates at a banquet Monday night.
Taxes, he ccntended. must be read
iusted on the basis of ability to pay.
He advocated graduated income tax.
Charging Wall Street coup d'etat
in the congress of 1875 with having
started the present economic disord-
ers, he continued mo country can
exist without the plow" and advocated
banking system that would finance
farmers and small businessmen over
an extended period.
I'm 1875" Murray said, "a l0-per
cent tax was placed on the stock
banks existing and flourishing in this
country. The tax drove them out OF
existence and with them the only
source of long time loans to produc-
ers."
Then began the economic decline
which is at it's climax now, he said.
His deduction Of a solution to pre-
sent conditions included the assertion
that "if we elect a courageous and
able administration in 1892, it will be
at least year before its effect can
be felt.
If we elect a tool of Wall Street
and big business, the end is at hand"

SHAPIRO TRIAL
+ RESUMED

The trial Of Jacob B. Shapiro,
president of the Joseph Shapiro
Realty Company, on charges of
using the mails to defraud in
connection with the sale of prop
erty encumbered with so-called
hidden trusts" was resumed IN
Criminal Court today.
Assistant United States Attor.
ney John j. Fihelly introduced in
evidence numerous letters al.
legedly sent by the Shapiro firm
to prospective home purchasers
telling them that the property
was encumbered with only first
and second trusts. The Govern
ment says that simultaneously a
blanket trust was against the
property and became a third
trust In the instances where the
houses were sold.
Attorneys Alvin L. Newmyer
and David Wiener, who are de-
tending the realtor. have admitted
the trusts but add there had been
no intent to defraud and that
Shapiro has simply followed q
practice in vogue for many years.

HOTEL RECEIVER
PLEAS HEARD

Photo by International

District Supreme Court Justice
Oscar R. Luhring today heard
arguments on the motion of coun-
sci for the Mayflower Hotel to
dismiss the bill Of Mrs. Mabel
Walker Willebrandt, for fore
closure Of the hotel property and
the appointment of receivers to
operate the hotel pending final
disposition of the proceedings.
Receivers appointed by the
hotel temporarily we're removed
last week by the Court of Ap-
pealS which ruled that the re-
ceivership order had been "im-
providently granted" and that
proper notice should have been
given to counsel for the company
before such steps were taken.
Justice Luhring then ordered the
defendants to show cause today
why the receiverShip should not
be ordered again.
No Fraud Proved
William E. Leahy, counsel for
the hotel company, denounced
the bill of the five petitioning
plaintiffs, who hold but $4,000
worth of a $2.400,00O bond issue,
and declared that not a single
fact was recited in the entire bill.
The prayers of the plaintiffs
were supported only by allegations
based on information and be-
lief" he said. The plaintiffs
charged fraud, he said, but we're
unable to show an instance where
fraud had been perpetrated.
COlladay in Case
Edward F. Colladay, represent.
ing another group of second bond
holders, first argued on his petit
ton to intervene in their behalf
He was bitterly opposed by Mrs.
Willebrandt, who claims that, un-
less he adopts the allegations of
her bill as his own and inter
venes on behalf of the plaintiffs,
he canpot enter the case.

Violation Upheld
This provision provides that

Of violating the Clayton anti

operating license.
The United States District
Court of Delaware has held R.
C. A. guilty of violating trust
laws through its tube contracts,
and the United States Supreme
Court upheld the decision by re-
fusing to review the case.
Winterbottom said denial of
1,409 communication license re-
newals would cripple world wire

result in the loss to America of
radio channels which it has held
largely through priority of use.

experimental work as major fac
