Books Introduced in Fraud Trial Kept Jump
 Ahead of Creditors ~

MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. g. The books of the w. B. Foshay Con- pany were presented yesterday in the Federal Court by the Govern ment in an effort to prove charges the company represented it's stock as sound when it was in financial distress.
 The evidence was produced at the trial of the seven former officials of the company charged with us- ing the mails to defraud
 The special prosecutor sought to show the enterprises had obliga- tions they were unable to meet.
 The complete history of the bills and other obligations of the com pany, with the cash on hand, from week to week, indicated, the prose- cution said, that the officials raced with almost constant necessity in 1928 and 1929 to raise millions of dollars.
 E. L. Bouchard, of Minneapolis, former Assistant Treasurer of the companies, testified that unpaid obligations of the enterprises to- tailed $3,OOO,0O0 on September IA, 1929, two months before the re- ceivership.
 Bouchard, Government witness, testified the company was "staving off" the creditors most of the time for the last two years previous to the receivership.

AMERICAN HELP SEEN AS SALvE
 TO PARITY ROW
U. s. Arms Cut Stand Brightens Outlook at
 Geneva Session
By F. I. Lipsey. Jr.

GENEVA Sept. 9.-The thick gloom clouding prospects for dis armament is cut as if by beacon light by the belief in international quarters that February's world con- ference will see America aggres- sively leading the movement for reduction
 This ray of hope is frightened by reports of the cordial under standing now existing between the chiefs of the Washington and the London governments.
 The pinch in national pocket books is counted on to furnish powerful support of President Hoo- ver's challenge for a genuine cut in national fighting equipment.
 The pessimism with which ap- proach of the general ornaments conference is viewed centers large ly upon the apparently irreconcila- ble attitudes of France and Ger many on the "relativity" of dis armament responsibility.
 Franco-Germsn Views Clash
 France is stoutly backed by Bel gium, Poland, C7echoslovakia, Jugo- slavia, and Rumania in her declara- ton that there can be no further reduction in fighting strengths until further international guaran- tees of security are concluded, and that the existing restrictions on the powers defeated in the great war must not be relaxed.
 Germany loudly demands parity of security" and announces she will not agree to the 'reforging of the shackles" of the race treaties.
 She is supported by her partners in defeat, Austria, Hungary and Bulgaria.
 In the face of this deadlock, the leagues ornaments experts have turned their eyes toward the United States, whence in recent months

Gold Mining Industry Con- tinues on Upgrade,
 Except at Nome

The Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company SO far this year has shown net surplus of $l, ,127 400 in it's local mining operations, it was revealed with the release of its August returns which were made public in an Associated Press des- patch from San Francisco to the Empire.
 The local mills August output was $320,500, gain of 8 per cent over August, 1880, and it's net sur plus was $145,800, an advance of 43.8 per cent over the same month last year, said the San Francisco announcement. No deductions were made for depletion, depreciation and taxes.
 The net SO far this year is ap- proximately equal to the net for it's best preceding calendar year which was about $1l00,000 Even if the next four months should not exceed the averages made in the past three years, the net for the current year is practically certain to exceed $1,500,oo0, and 1t will reach s1,7OO0oO if the operations for the closing one-third of the year continue at the rate set for the first two-thirds.
 It is virtually certain that the company's gross returns for the year vii lalso smash all existing records.
 Whole Territory Gains
 Although there has been some disappointment in returns from the Nome districts gold mining in- dustry, the partial fall down there has been more than offset by the Alaska Juneau's brilliant record, and the gains made in the Fair banks region.
