HOOVER PURCED OF CHARGES BY
 HIS COMMITTEE
Personal Phases of Gar- diners Charges Not COnsidere d d- No Apology Offered as Yet By League

Washington, Nov 9- (UP)- President Hoover purged of the Navy leagues "abysmal ignorance" charges by his special committee, was prepared to proceed in a more tranquil atmosphere to-day with his $S50, 100000 economy program.
 The Navy league pamphlet, which charged the president with starving" the navy, and being a "congenital pacifist," was issued almost two weeks ago. MT Hoover answered immediately with one of the strongest statements of his ad- ministration.
 His refutation committee, in its report Saturday night, denied the fcharges contained in the. leagues pamphlet paragraph by para graph.
 Meanwhile, no apology as de- manded by the president has been forthcoming from Gardiner. He is- sued a statement in New York say ing he did not wish to comment on the Hoover committees report un- til after further deliberation.
 The committee refused to take cognizance of the personal phases of Gardiner's attack. The report took up the purported facts in the pamphlet paragraph by paragraph, but when 1t came to the one charg- ing ''absymal ignorance" made only this comment:
 "These paragraphs contain no statements of fact, but consist solely of general opinions and con clusions." It was understood this refusal to consider the general ignorance charge was because of the presi- dents instructions were to study the purported facts and ignore the opinions and conclusions.

the present $600,000 in tempo rary loans outstanding against the city and $400,000 more in similar loans which will be necessary af- ter January 1st to carry on the municipal business.
 The call for to-night's special meeting was issued Friday after noon by Mayor Hayes. Besides the $1,O00,000 in funding bonds, the aldermen will also order sold $40,- 900 worth of pumping station bonds and $50,000 worth of park community house bonds.
 The $40,000 will be spent in building a new water pressure sys- tenn for the western section of the city. Pressure is now poor in Bunker Hill, West Side Hill and Highland avenue. The new system will do away with this condition.
 The $50,000 community house will be erected in Washington park. The sale of these bonds, which was authorized by the last session of the legislature, was held up due to the poor condition of the market until the present time. It is now be- lfeved conditions have improved sufficiently to warrant the sale of the issues by the city.
 The funding bonds will be paid off at the rate of $100,000 a year This will be easier on the city treasury than if the city were forced to pay off $1,000,000 at one time.

RESCUED AFTER
 BEING GA DAYS
 ON HER COURSE
Storm Battered Schooner Was Two Weeks Over= due When Picked Up By Coast Guard

Woods Hole, Mass, Nov D. (UP)-The storm battered little schooner Arthur s. James, her crew and passengers half-starved, her sails in shreds for AS hours of buffeting by a northeast gale, rode the placid wake of the coast guard cutter Davis toward Block Island Sound to-day.
 The schooner, two weeks over due at New Bedford with it's steer ing gear either useless or gone, was picked up and taken in tow by the Davis last night.
 Its crew of 13 and nine Cape Verde Island immigrants were in desperate straits, after GA days at sea, reports to the coast guard station here to-day.
 The Davis found the schooner 100 miles south of Martha's Vine yard, with water and food and fuel exhausted. There was a small quantity of salt beef on board but 1t had not been eaten because there was no way to cook 1t.
 The 22 persons on board huddled close together for warmth, snatch ed ravenously at bread brought aboard, the cutter reported by radio.
 The speedy coast guard craft dispatched to the rescue when the tanker Denver reported it had sighted the crippled schooner ITO miles due east of New York with an apparently disabled rudder. A fisherman reported sighting the James 40 miles off Nantucket Sat urday. The coast guard cutter Acushnet, sent in search, failed be- cause the gale swept the schooner off its course.
 The James carried no wireless equipment.
 The Davis notified coast guard headquarters to dispatch a patrol boat to Block Island this after noon and relieve it in towing the schooner to New Bedford.
 The James had made the Cape Verde Islands a regular port of call and was engaged in transporting natives to this country.

While women neighbors rush to the assistance of Mrs. MacBurney and physicians were summoned men spectators removed William Bentley, Sr., and his 12-year- son, William, to St. Mary's hospital. At 2:15 o'clock this afternoon the lad had recovered, but the father was still unconscious. Plans had been made to place him in a respi- rator.
 The police and employees of the gas company were engaged this aft ernoon in attempting to discover the cause of near double death by asphyxiation. Two gas jets were found open in a room of the house 1t was reported. Mrs. Bentley, wife of the unconscious man and moth- CT of the boy, is patient at the Waterbury hospital and has been under treatment for several days past. The father and son have been preparing their own meals.
 This noon hour Mrs. MacBur- 1rey's mother, Mrs. Munson, sent a little girl to call the Bentley boy to his dinner. She has been lend- ing a helping hand during the ill- ness of Mrs. Bentley. The little girl returned and informed her that the door was locked and that she could smell gas. Mrs. Munson investigat- ed and becoming suspicious called

More than 25O,000 boys in 25S Boys clubs in 133 cities are hop ing that efforts of local community chest organizations will be entirely successful. Failure of chest organ izations to raise a dequate funds may mean that boys clubs must cut budgets and that would be un- fortunate because these clubs are now operating on budgets alto gether too small.
 The present economic depression has thrown an additional burden on the boys clubs of the country. Thousands of boys, usually em- ployed but now unable to get work are turning to clubs or instruction and recreation. Other boys. too young to W ork, seem to want to get away from home after school and during the early hours of the evening. In times of business dis tress and unemployment home seems less attractive to the boy. He goes out-of doors and undess there is a neighborhood club to interest him, chances are he will find his way to the street corner where the influence Is none too good.
 Efforts of the community chest organizations to raise funds are progressing satisfactorily and boys clubs are faring well to date be- cause the splendid work of the boys club in reducing juvenile de- linquency and in giving boys a wholesome place to play and work, is appreciated.

OVERSEEING AT INFLATED PRICE
 IS CONDEMNED
Investment Bankers Told They Must Check Such Selling of Stocks and Bonds in Boom Times :.
By THOMAS l.. STOKES

(United Press Stan COrrcspOndcnt)
 White Sulphur Springs, W. Va, Nov 9-(UP)-Investme bankers were told to-day that they must check the overselling of stocks and bonds at inflated prices in boom times to prevent an orgy of specu- lation such as brought the 1929 crush.
 Henry T. Ferriss, St Louis, presi- dent of the Investment Bankers as- sociation of America, in his annual address to the convention here to- day, coupled a reminder of this responsibility with an expression of confidence in the recovery of in- vestment and security markets.
 He cited the high regard for United States bonds, the command ing position of state bonds, which in most cases are selling at higher prices than in 25 years, and the sound standing of high grade rail- road, public utility and industrial bonds.
 The outstanding factor in the present situation, he said, Is the decline in purchasing power which must be attributed largely to the over-extension of credit when prices were high."
 The large volume of debts con- tracted during the World war and by various individuals during the boom period prior to the 1929 col lapse, constitute one of the chief reasons for the breakdown in in- ternational and domestic trade to- day, he said.
 The convention had before 1t for approval a report dealing with for eign bonds, which was designed to calm the fears of American invest ors over foreign issues, so many of which. now depreciated in value or in default, are held by banks in the country.
 This Is to be done by broadening the scope of the Institute of Inter- national Finance, which will spon- sor formation of bondholders pro- tective committees, or other ave- nues of aid, if necessary.
 The institute will issue reports when 1t deems them necessary to advise American investors. One was issued just recently on Chile. Others will follow. The institute will cooperate with similar bond holders associations in other coun- tries

John O'Donnell, a neighbor. He crashed into the door of the Bent ly house and found the two lying in bed unconscious from gas fumes.
 The boy was removed first and rushed to the hospital. The father followed him within a few minutes after an auto had been comman- deered.
 Patrolman Patrick Griffin of the motor patrol was sent to investi- gate simply an accidental gas poisoning case. When he reached the scene the excitement was in- tensified by the collapse of Mrs MacBurney. She had visited the Bentley apartment and was return ing to her own home when she collapsed in the hallway of the house and died before medical aid could be summoned.
 Dr Kirschbaum was informed that Mrs MacBurney had been un- der treatment for a heart ailment for sometime past, so it Is be- lieved that on seeing the Bentleys unconscious she became over wrought and collapsed.
 At the Waterbury hospital this afternoon it was stated that Mrs Bentley underwent an operation this morning. She is expected to recover. All visitors were refused admission this afternoon.
