SPINDLE GAME BY OLD GAME OF
 LOST TREASURE

Boston, Not 14-(UP)-Ralph J. Code, 40, of Dorchester was held for questioning to-day in connection with an alleged swindle involving an insane rum runner, disabled ship. England's departure from the gold standard, and $7,- 900, 900 in smuggled treasure.
 A man describing himself as Carlisle o. Boyd, 50, New York oil promoter and broker. caused Codes arrest, com plaining that he and six others, including a professor. banker and judge, were robbed of thousands of dollars by schemlng story-tellers.
 They promised shares of ST. 900, 900 shipload of gold coin and bullion in return for contributions toward repair of the ship in which the fortune supposedly was hid- den, according to Boyd's reported story.
 The rum runner was alleged to have exchanged his fortune for gold in England shortly after that country went off the gold standard. Homeward bound to smuggle the gold into America. his craft was disabled off Nova Scotia and when he went ashore relatives had him committed to an asylum. The al- legged leader of the swindlers rep resented himself as the brother of the supposed rum runner and the heir to the stranded gold.

Great Britain Has Belief In Complete
 Debt Cancellation
PostpOnement of the Next Payment Will Mean Even-
 tuaIIy the Crashing of All Indebtedness Is the c Opinion of All Leaders

the same idea about the debt situ- ation, namely, that further pay ments would only tend to add to the financial chaos of the world.
 The London press, regardless of political opinion, backed the Brit ish note to Washington. It was called "eminently reasonable" with good reason to hope" that 1t would be agreeable to Washington.
 Sir Josiah Stamp. financial ad- wiser to the government, director of the Bank of England, and one of the leading economists of the world, told the United Press that 'the United States. and not Great Britain, has got to take the re- sponsibility" for the serious dis affection of world finance which would be caused by any further debt payments at present.
 Sir Josiah, interrupting quiet evening at home to receive the United Press correspondent, said
 he anticipated the request for postponment three months ago.
 Further payment at present would be particularly dangerous. Sir Josiah thought, "On account ot the exchange and tariff situation just as the world is struggling to improve things
 'The United States cannot have things both ways" he said. She cannot take gold and maintain her tariffs. It must be realized that it is not actually making or not making a war debt payment that counts. It is the combination, first, of the obligation to pay: second of the effect of receiving payments in gold, and third, the influence of tariffs on those payments.
 Certainly. something must he done urgently"
 It was pointed out in official cir cles that the British note was en- tirely independent of the French note, but there was no surprise Tn the similarity of the communica- tions because similarity was ex- pected from signatories of the Lausanne agreements. Britain has no intention of entering united front against the United tSates, st was emphasized, but will keep Tn touch with other debtor govern ments on the debt question and other matters affecting the com mon interest.
 It was considered possible that Neville Chamberlain would be sent to Washington as a special envoy if and when negotiations are opened. Viscount Cecil, veteran diplomat who headed the British delegation to the League of Nations for many years. told the United Press the British note might have a tre- mendous influence for world peace From an international view point, the settlement of this ques- ton would be of immense value
 but no doubt 1t would have to he considered with other interna' tional questions, such as disarma- tment, which must be dealt wltf | in that connection.

Historic Telegram Of President Was
 Prepared In Desert
Somewhere in the Lonely Reaches of the Southern California Desert the Invitation to President
 Elect Was Composed

vas played behind closed doors. It was not known that Robinson had been on the train until several hours after his deparature. The first news newspapermen had of the impending event was just be- fore noon Sunday. when it was handed out without comment by a publicity man who strolled through the train with mimeographed copies.
 Robinson was en route to Los Angeles from Washintgon, it was reported when he received a tele- graphic request to join the presi- dential special. He left the west bound train at San Bernardino. Cal, and caught the presidential special before it started up spur track so that the president could see the $165,0O0,00O dam project on the Colorado river named in his honor.
 On that journey of several hum dFed miles, Robinson and Requa were back of the presidential car. And during that side trip as dusk gathered over. the Barre purple hills .and rock filled valleys. the telegram was reported to- have been composed.
 Who else was with the president was not immediately known. How close the president confided in Rob- inson was not learned. The train wound up the mountain passes higher and higher until Boulder City, New, was reached. It was hortly after 8 p. m. and from then until II p. m., the president was busy on Q tour of inspection of the dam project.
 He retired shortly after the train back tracked to Cotton, Cal, where it was switched to the east bound track, directly of the run to Wash 'ington at 7:50 a. m. Sunday.
 Robinson as we'll as Requa left the train at Cotton and turned back to their California homes.
 On board the train all the way to Washington from the presidents Palo Alto home, however, was Sec- retary of Interior Ray Lyman Will bur who took Q leave of absence as president of Mrs Hoover's alma mater, Leland Stanford university to. join the staff.
 First word that the president had received direct message from Secretary of State Stimson on the war debt situation and the foreign notes, came at Barstow, Cal, Satur- day afternoon.
 "Is there anything on war debts ?" someone asked Lawrence Richey. presidential secretary, as he strolled among the crowd at the station.
 "Yes, we have something from the secretary" Richey said.
 It was the first time since leav- ing Palo Alto that he had been able to give such an answer.
 The telegram itself was not made public until just before noon Sunday, as the train swung across the sunbeaten lands of Arizona and neared Yuma where's Indians and sun tanned Arizonian's greet ed the president at the station.
 James L. West, assistant publi- city director of the republican na- tional committee distributed the mimeographed copies. He handed them to newspapermen without comment,

 Aboard Presidential Special En Route Washington, Nov 14.-(UP) The historic telegram dispatched by President Hoover to Gov Frank lin D. Roosevelt was composed somewhere in the lonely desert reaches of Southern California last Saturday.
 Mark Requa. California republi- can leader and Henry M. Robin son, San Frencisco banker and con- fident tof the president, were re- ported to have been on the pgesi- dentiai car at the time. Perhaps they were closeted with him in the small carwide parlor of the special car as the message took form. They at least were in his car during those hours just before the unprecedented invitation to a president-elect to collaborate on the foreign policy of retiring ad- ministration. was sent.

 London, November IA - tUfl Postponement of the next Brit ish war debt payment to the United states was regarded by leading British economists today as the first step toward complete deot cancellation.
 It was held generally that remedial measures" which BrI- tain mentioned in the note 10 Washington as necessary Tor the restoration of prosperity certainty included a suggestion of chancellor of the Exchequer Neville Chamber. iain's frequently repeated officiai statement in favor of complete cancellation.
 Britain refused to consider the nossibilitv that postponement or the December IS payment might not be granted.
 The official view as reflected m today's London newspapers was that the British proposal snouln commend itself to United states public opinion" and furthermore' that the speedy announcement Una. debt negotiations had been opened between Britain and the Unitea states. with payments suspended, q, "would have a powerful effect m confirming and stabilizing confi- 4dence and promoting the trade re- covery. which seems finally 10 have begun"

 Waterbury Produce Market (Furnished by Connection Department of Agriculture, B. P. Storrs. local agent)

Monday, Nov 14-Latest turkey market information points to high CT price levels for shipped-in birds than early last week. New York reports last week end stated that most grades appeared two cents a pound higher than was indicated earlier. Best turkeys from North western states were reported sell ing there in carlots at "A to ~ cents a pound, while those from western and southwestern areas were listed two to three cents low CT. These figures, if they continue throughout this week, will mean that local retailers will buy next week at prices above the 25 cent mark for most grades better than No. 2. On this basis best north westerns of medium weight prob ably will cost retailers close to SO cents. Potato crop estimated by the United States Department of Agri culture, based on conditions Mo- yember 1st, were changed by little from figures issued a month earl fer, the total for the whole coun- try being increased less than one per cent. Maine was unchanged, New York about 1.5 per cent greater and middlewestern states slightly less in the new estimate compared with October 1st.

Of course. when Senator Lawlor was named deputy by Commission CT Donohue. it represented a hfty- fifty break between the democrats and republicans. The later were not forced to do this at the time, Therefore, the state is likely to see a turnabout of affairs and witness the appointment by Senator Lawlor of Commissioner Donahue as his deputy.
 This is all a matter of, specula- ton, however, and the manner Tn which Senator Lawlor will handle his appointments will, therefore. be watched closely and with interest by the voters of the state.
