UNDER PROBE

Experts of the bomb squad Of
the New York police department
today continued their efforts to
trace the crank who penned
threatening letters to Patrick E.
Crowley, president of the New
York Central railroad. The let
ters bore the signature "XRRA." ;"
Officials of the railroad, while
admitting Crowley had received
the letters, denied the writer had
threatened to inflict personal in
jury upon the rail head or to
kidnap his daughters unless $685.
900 was paid.
The threat made, they said,
was one of sabotage on the COM

Pending completion of the ex-

any time in order that they
might learn for themselves that
the organizations were not of a
political character.
The clubs were closed on May
20 by order of the Fascist author
tiles and many of them Subse-

PROTESTS GO
To HOOVER
AND Ice.
Senators See Rise in Cost
OF Living; CaraWay, King
Rap, Dale Defends Petition

The proposal of the railroads
to increase freight rates Is per
cent and gain approximately
$50O,000,000 in additional reve-
nues annually, today drew pro
tests from various parts of the
country.
Some were addressed to PreSi-
dent Hoover and we're forwarded
to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission by the White House for
consideration.
The commission was silent to-
day concerning the procedure it
will follow in considering the
rate increase petition. but may
issue a statement after today's
conference at which the petition
was considered.
The plea of the railroads also
brought a wave of protest from
Senators, who charged it would
PROSTATE business, prevent recov-
cry from the depression, and in
crease human suffering.
The carriers petition to the
Interstate Commerce Commission
was characterized as suicidal"
and "unwise" by Senators, who
declared existing rates were
burden on business. Senatorial
sentiment rather favored a de-
crease in the present rate sched-
ules, as a means of bringing a
quicker business recovery.
Dale Defends Roads
The only defense of the rail
roads was made by Senator Dale
(R.) of Vermont, who declared
something must be done to help
the railroads because they are
in financial straits"
Senators Caraway CD of Ar
kansas, and King CD of Utah,
viewed the request with much dis
favor. King added:
"TO think of granting an in
crease in freight rates at this
time is very unwise. 1t would
hurt business, hurt the mer-
chant, hurt the farmer, and in
crease the cost of living at a
time when millions of citizens
are trying to get enough to eat.
1 don't see how the Government
could undertake such an unwise
thing at this time"
Suicidal" Says Caraway
Caraway declared it would be
Suicidal to increase transporta-
ton costs during the depression,
and said:
"The railroads are in the same
fix as the rest of us. They are
feeling the effects of Hoover
prosperity, but inaSmuch as re-
lief has been denied to all other
classes of citizens, there is no
reason for the Government
granting them relief"
An Administration senator, who
did not wish to have his name
used, declared the railroads had
brought on their present plight
by refusing to recognize the com.
petition of truck and bus lines.

POLITICAL TRIP
BRINGS FORTH
NEW HOOVER
President Has Become Genial
Personality; Seems Well
Satisfied With the Results
EN- ROUTE TO WASHINGTON

EN- ROUTE TO WASHINGTON
WITH PRESIDENT HOOVER,
June 18 QNSD.-Pres dent
Hoover was returning to Wash
ington today we'll satisfied with
the results of his 2,500lnile swing
through the Middle West.
1t was a trip that brought him
into contact with thousands of
people, and, what is more i'm
portant. into close contact with
Republican leaders essential to
his campaign in 1882.
New Hoover" Revealed
If there ever had been any
doubt about Mr.. HOOver's being
a candidate to succeed himself
next year, he pretty effectually
dispelled it on the trip which
ends today. 1t was new
Hoover" that was revealed to the
country during the past four
dayS-a Hoover of a more genial
and jOvial personality.
In addition to his formal
speeches, in Indianapolis, Marion,
and Springfield, the President
saw and addressed unnumbered
thousands of people throughout
the Middle West from the rear
platform of his special train. He
Joked with the people about the
business depression, he appeared
at every stop along the 2 2.5O0-rnile
route, and in the seclusion of his
quarters he talked politics with
local leaders whenever and
wherever the opportunity arose.
Finds Leaders Worried
The political aspects of Mr..
Hoover's swing about the Middle
West appeared on the first day
out of Washington. In West Vir-
ginia he saw to it that his spe-
cial train was stopped wherever
there was a demand for it.

just because he dropped a piece
of paper containing a few names,
Henri Papineau is under arrest,
charged with concealing assets,
and will probably be taken before
the Grand Jury next week.
Papineau, who operated the Ma
tional Token Shop, 1917 Pennsyl-
vania Ave. N. W., filed petition
in voluntary bankruptcy on July
/. He listed his assets as about
$4,000 and his liabilities as
$4,122.S4.
The bankruptcy was adjudicated
July 2, according to Fred j. Eden,
referee in bankruptcy. All was
going well with the petitioner
until a folded sheet of paper on
which some notes had been writ
ten fell into the hands of agents
of the Department of Justice.
Investigation, according to the
officials, revealed that Papineau,
under the name of Thibault, had
shipped five packages of goods,
valued at about $4,000 by ex-
press to Lynchburg, Va. Under
instructions the express company
re-shipped the packages to Asbury
Park, N. j., and from that city
they were sent back to Washing
ton where Thibault, identified as
Papineau, claimed them.
A warrant for his arrest was
issued by Needham C. Turnage,
U. S. Commissioner. Papineau
pleaded not guilty and is free
on $2.5O0 bond. The warrant was
issued July 80.
The packages it is said, have
been turned over to L. L. Ham

estate, and will be opened next
