Peter patted both small brown hands
with great vigor.

Grief quite overcame her, and she
would have slid clear off the rumble
seat into the bottom of the car if
Peter hadn't caught her firmly and
drawn her back.

Rowena. 'Men are all like that

Rowena.
Peter listened. 1t came again, low
and unmistakable, the gulping sob of
weeping woman. They looked back
over their shoulders, The little
brown chaperon was slur1ped deep in
the rumble seat, her head bowed low,
small shoulders rising and falling
with great sobs. Peter pulled to the
side of the road and stopped the car,

JURY vERIFIES
TRAGEDY AS
MURDER
Son Tells Of Battling Actions
OF 2 Strangers Who Bought
Meat and Threw 1t Away

The death of Max Berman,
Former Alexandria butcher, who
was killed Saturday in his Balti-
more meat store by a cheese knife
which was buried to the hilt in
his abdomen, remains a mystery
today following the coroner's jury
verdict of death by somebody un-
known to the jury at this time"
Police Say Suicide.
Police lean to the theory that
Serman committed suicide, re-
minding that his hands were near
his slashed abdomen; that the
knife and a hatclet nearby had
their handles wrapped with meat
cloth; that three paper bags Of
MONEY lay untouched nearby;
that doors and windows Of the
store were closed, and that there
were no signs of a struggle.
Maurice Berman, the dead
bnan's son, insists, however, it was
murder. He said the butcher shop
was paying we'll; that Berman
owned the store, his furniture and
automobile, and had no financial
worries, and that two men came
into the store and acted mySteri-
Ously two days before the tragedy.
The strangers came in, bought a
quarter-pOund of ham and pre-
sented q $40 bill. When Berman
could not change this, they
offered $5 bill, but once outside
Ehey threw away the meat. Ber-
man seemed afraid Of the men.

Alexandria, providing that it was
to be probated in case of acci-
dental death, but was to be null

causes. He was insured for $500.

THREE SUITS ARE FILED
IN STEEL MERGER PLAN
BY the Associated Press.


CLEVELAND, April 18.-Cyrus s.
Eaton, Cleveland financier. who led the
fees Of the proposed billion-dollar Beth
lehem Steel youngstown Sheet & Tube
merger; some of his financial associates
and some Of the finance companies in
which he Is associated were attacked
in three suits filed here.
The suits allege illegal stock trans
actions involving more than SO 900 900.
Because of the alleged illegal transac-
tons 81 ,682 ,599.25 are due stockholders
Of Continental Shares, Inc, Eaton hold
ing company, it was said.
Eaton was charged with dominating
Continental for private ends, princi-
pally to use it in blocking the proposed
steel merger, which is now under in
junction.
Two of the suits, filed by Charles S.
Wachner, Cleveland attorney, and Con-
tinental Shareholder, asked an account
ing and equitable relief.
The other, filed by w. K. Gardner,
attorney on behalf of the Paramount
Coal & Coke Co. of Cleveland, asked
a judgment Of $l,682, 59925 for the
shareholders.
The suits also alleged that in June,
1880, officers and directors of CONT
mental directed that it enter into the
purchase of 305 shares of Goodyear
Shares, Inc, for $4,107, 1920 and the
sale of 100 shares of Firestone Tire g.
Rubber Co. stock for $2,187 500 and
40, 900 shares of B. F. Goodrich Co.
common stock for $1.500,000.
In these transactions Gardner al
legged that Eaton derived large private
profits"
Defendants named by both Wachner
and Gardner were: Continental Shares,
Inc; Eaton, Richard IngleS, partner in
Otis & Co.; Eaton, brokerage concern
and Continental director; w. r. Bur-
we'll, Continental president; Otis g. Co.
and Philip Wick, r. v. Mitchell and
David ingalls,, as Continental directors.

answered, adding that the charges, in
their opinion, "are without merit"

interested in that most important ques-
ton, "our banking structure" and thus
incidentally in banking aftiliates, said
Mr.. Await.
AS a result of the controller Of the
currency's recommendations to Con-
gress in his annual report of December
2, 1929, the House Committee on Bank
ing and Currency conducted hearings
from February IS, 1890, to June IL,
1880, on group, chain and branch bank
ing. On January 10 of this year sub
committee of the Banking and Cur
rency Committee of the Senate headed
by the distinguished Senator from Vir-
GINA, Carter Glass, inaugurated hear
ings which will undoubtedly result in
constructive legislation. In the course
of these hearings the subject of affl-
safes has been most prominent. Lead
ing bankers and banking authorities
have expressed different opinions. The
opinion was given that there should be
a complete separation of banks and
aff1liates; that all affiliates should be
closely identified with the banks by the
same stockholders and directors; that
there should be statutory regulation; ;
that there should not be statutory regu-
lation; that there should be supervising
examinations, etc.
Il believe there IS no question" he
concluded, "but that affiliates may be
subject to abuse--the failure of the
Bank of the United States demonstrated
this as a fact. But regardless of such
abuse as applied directly to the bank,
there is another important factor. The
public always associates the affiliate
with the bank, and even If the bank is
sound and anything should happen to
the affiliate, there would be no dis
tinction in the mind of the public,
with resulting bad effect on the bank
ut is, therefore, of primary i'm
portance that the affiliate be con-
Quoted along safe and sound lines. 1t
is also important that such abuses as
the extension of unwarranted credit to
the affiliate be prohibited"
