American Financiers Caus. ed Fall of MacDon-

DIRECT ISSUE AROSE
 OVER CREDIT POLICY
Federal Reserve Board De. manded Strict Econ-
 omies Be Enforced

LONDON, Aug. 25.-The Daily Herald, Labor paper, charged the Macdonald Government fell and the new Administration is dictated by United States bankers.
 The article in the Daily Herald said the s250.00o,0OO loan to the Bank of England is nearly ex- hausted and that in seeking new money from the United States the Bank of England was informed by the Federal Reserve Board that fresh credit would only be ex- tended if drastic economies were made in the dole.
 "The late Government was in- formed by the Federal R serve Board that credits would only be granted provided specific and con- siderable economies were made at once in the administration or in actual benefits paid under the un- employment scheme. This was vir- tually the ultimatum from New York bankers who played vital part in dividing the late Cabinet on the issue of 10 per cent re- duction in unemployment benefits, " the Daily Herald said.

N. '. MARKETS ARE DULL IN
 TRADE TO-DAY
Developments in England Are Being Watched
 Rails Continue Low

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-Finan- cial markets retained a sluggish condition today and few expert mental bullish efforts in stocks were. soon abandoned.
 Wall Streets attention is focused or developments in England which on the whole are regarded as dis tinctly reassuring.
 Several issues pushed up for 8 roint or two this morning. These advances were however, largely can eelled as tobacco issues and radio met considerable selling. American Tobacco, Liggett and Myers, com mon and class "A', lost two te three points during the morning trading
 Union Pacific Case and American Telegraph and Telephone converted into losses of like extent.
 Bankers are disinclined to take the article in the London Herald charging American pressure for z cut in the dole, as serious enough to make any formal comment but 1t is no secret that the mounting of dole payments at the time of a widening deficit hurts British credit.
 Rails continued today to hover around low levels.

M'DONALD IS FACING GREAT
 CRISIS AGAIN
British Prime Minister Takes Up Reins of
 New Government
MAY BE A GLADSTONE
 OR ANOTHER DISRAELl
Conservative and Lib eral Leaders Are Now Aid
 ing Laborlte

LONDON, Aug. 25-Ramsay Mac Donald, twice Laborite Prime Min ister of Great Britain, today took up the reins of a Non-Partisan Government with the realization that either he is committed to po- litical suicide or history would number him among the Empires great statesmen by going into the wilderness with a handful of fol- lowers in an effort to set the Ma tion's financial house in order.
 Incurs Animosity
 Premier Macdonald has incurred the bitter animosity of the i'm mensely powerful Trades Union Congress, it is said.
 The Premier probably won the hostility of considerable section of the Labor Party as an Executive.
 It is freely commented that what ever else happens, Ramsay Mac Donald will never again be the head of a Labor Government or even an outstanding figure among Labor politicians. This was caused by advocating slash in the dole.
 Man of Hour
 Others hold that by sacrificing political ambitions, for what he believed to be for the ultimate good of the Nation, he. has estab- lished himself in the hearts of the people as the man of the hour and posterity will rank him as a Gladstone or Disraeli
 Serving in the new Government under Prime Minister Macdonald will be Conservative Leader stan ley Baldwin, former Prime Minis ter, and Liberal Leader Lloyd George, also former Prime Min ister.
 LABOR OPPOSITION
 LONDON, Aug. 25.- Organized Labor stiffened opposition to the Non-Partisan National Government as Premier Macdonald completed his Cabinet roster
 The Independent Labor Party, the Left Wing of the Labor move ment, officially declared relentless opposition to the new Government policies and urged the Trades Un- ion Congress and Labor Party to organize an immediate campaign for general resistance.
 Macdonald is expected to resign his position as Labor Party leader.

New Yorker Buys Alaskan Painter s Canvas of
 Mt. Mckinley

Mt. McKinley-King of the Arc- tic" Sydney Laurences celebrated painting which has been on exhi- bition at the Nugget Shop for the past three years, was yesterday

 The canvas will be boxed and shipped east tomorrow, according tc Robert Simpson, proprietor of the Nugget Shop. Those who wish to see the famous picture before 1t l. packed for shipment may have that privilege this afternoon and tonight.
 The painting, which measures six feet by twelve feet, was finished in los Angeles some three years ago, after a study made the previous summer and it represents some of Laurence's finest work. News, of the sale of his picture was welcome news to the painter, for he had recently suffered paralytic stroke a. his home in Los Angeles, and it is doubtful whether he will be able to do much more painting.
 MT. Smith. during his stay here, exhibited a real interest in the Alaska Indian art of carving and purchased a number of specimens which are being shipped to New York to be installed in his country home in Westchester County.
 Two cedar totem poles of small size and one Of slate. carved by John Wallace Of Klawoek, wore purchased through c. w Hawkes. worth, Acting Chief Of the Alaska Branch of the Office Of Indian Affairs. He also ordered through the same source two large toterns and a Haida canoe of cedar With four specially made paddles from Wallace. He also made a number of other purchases of similar na- ture from local curio dealers.

 One of the investigators reported he found an amazing number of complaints of police brutality among 498 foreign born criminals in Illi- nois prisons.
 Investigators elsewhere, the re- port said, found similar conditions 0f police treatment of foreign criminals or suspects

By United Press
WASHINGTON. April 14.-Presi-
dent Hoover heard the call of the
umpire today and led the way to
the ball park for opening of the big
league season.
Like many another desk-bound
fan, the chief executive found the
opening day was perhaps his
busiest Of the year, but he ar
ranged to get off a few hours be-
tween speeches for the first clash
between the champion Philadelphia
Athletics and the runners-up of last
year, the Washington Senators.
His arm is in good trim for toss
ing out the first ball, according to
his physician. Long practice with
the medicine ball each morning be-
fore most people are out of bed,
makes it seem easy for him to toss
the little horsehide pellet.
The President is a strong sup
porter of the Washington team, be-
cause of his friendship for Walter
Johnson, the old master.
1t was tWenty-One years ago to-
day that Johnson stood on the
mound, a raw young kid, and took
the first ball pitched out by Presi-
dent Taft.
In that quarter century, Johnson
has established most of the exist
ing records for big league pitching.
