WASHINGTON, Aug. %. = A
sharp counter barrage was directed
at Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt from
administration batteries in answer
to the governors Columbus speech.
The state department issued a
statement denying Roosevelt's inti-
nations that it had encouraged
flotation of foreign loans In this
country.
Republican House Leader Smell
asked why the stock market and
federal security regulation which
Roosevelt advocated had not been
tried out by him in New York state
where the nations money market
is located.
Secretary of War Hurley plans
to make more detailed answer in
a speech at Providence, r. I,
Wednesday.
AT Manila, P. l., it was announced
that Theodore Roosevelt, jr., was to
return at once to the United States,
supposedly to help campaign
against his cousin, the Democratic
Roosevelt, although the announce
ment did not mention the cam
paign
Roosevelt's strong language and
the sharp replies from the admins
tration forecast a hard hitting,
bare-fisted campaign.
Roosevelt put forward economic
questions as the dominating issue
and the administration is prepared
TO accept battle on that territory.
While prohibition continues to
cause violent controversy, 1t now
appears that the two presidential
candidates prefer to center their
political cross-fire on economic
problems involved in the depres-
sion.
The state department flatly de-
MED that it had assisted interna-
tional bankers in floating foreign
loans in this country or had ap-
proved such loans.
1.-THE department of state has
never approved a single foreign
loan,' the statement said. "It adj
vised the bankers not to make loans
to countries which had not funded
their debts to the United States,
thereby speeding up the negotia-
tions which resulted in the debt
agreements.
Warning Cited
"At one time the department
warned bankers planning to adj
vance loans to Germany of the
dangerous over-eXtension of credit
to that country and of the probable
difficulties of collection due to the
provisions of the treaty of Ver-
SailleS.
ut undoubtedly through its ad-
vice thus prevented many loans.
On the other hand it has never en-
couraged the issuance of any loans
whatsoever"
Pointing out that the nations
leading stock exchange and bank
ing houses are located in New York
City, Representative Smell declared
Roosevelt himself could have in
itiated the stock market regulation
and security issue reforms which he
advocated at Columbus.
Smell said there were no legal
barriers to state regulation, while
the governor should know that
there is no constitutional basis for
federal government regulation of
the stock exchange or the issuance
of securities by business concerns"
THE governors most recent pro-
gram and promises Smell declared,
ARE Just another example of what |
will haunt him and his party
through this campaign - promises
nullified by a stark and inescapab1e
record"

trail east-to-West across the Allan
tic swooped down, circled the
grandstand, then dropped his tiny
moth plane on to the concrete run
way.
The first person to spot Molli-
sons Hearts Content" plane was
e. H. Gerald-Shepherd, acting
British consul-general in New
York.
Then William Beggs, a fellow
Scot, now a policeman, sped out to
the runway on motorcycle. He
helped Mollison from the cockpit.
The burr of their accent could be
heard as they greeted each other.
The crowd of 5000 was closing III
on the flyer despite efforts of more
than 100 police. One woman broke
through and kissed Mollison. The
flyer grinned. The woman, ap-
parently abashed, disappeared into
the crowd
Another admirer shouted: God
bless you, Captain Mollison."
The burr in her voice brought
a smile to the youthful face of the
Scott. He waived greeting.
Checked BY Government
1t was at this moment that Mol
lison became just another arrival
from foreign country-to the
United States government. Gus
toms inspectors, W. B. Mitchell and
j. V. Edwards, advanced and asked
Mollison what he had in the ship.
Some old aviation clothes and
some things like that" he answered.
Then the flyer certified his ship
had entered the port of New York,
and that he was pilot of the craft.
% "All I can say" Mollison replied,
"is that I'm very glad to be here.
1t has long been my ambition to
visit your country. Being an avia-
tor, 1 wanted to do it that way"
Scores of camera and news-reel
men were grinding out hundreds of
feet of film. A microphone was
thrust in front of the flyer with
the plea ito say something to the
American people"
WELL" began Mollison, IT am
very glad to be here. I'm glad to
have the privilege of being the first
to fly the Atlantic alone from
Europe
Then someone asked:
when are you flying back
captain?"
II don't know definitely he re-
piled. But I'll let you know later.
But I'll be flying back soon. I'm
married, you know"
SIS it true" he was asked, that
you are going to stop making long
distance flights for your wifes
Sake?"
Mollison laughed. "Its like
everything else you hear about, but
you carry on" Then he changed
the subject to praise his tiny plane.
Those nearby could see the pride
with which he regarded his ship.
1t recalled Lindbergh's attitude to-
ward "The Spirit OF st. Louis" the
other half of the famous 1--WE"
LONDON, Aug. %. U.P)-British
newspapers predicted today that
James A. Mollison, first man to
span the North Atlantic westward
alone, will be knighted when he re-
turns to London.
The Express said the little Scots
man will ask his bride, Amy John
son, to sign an agreement whereby
they both would abstain from
stunt flights and other hazardous
ventures.
1t said Mollison will not under
take any further distance flights
after he recrosses the Atlantic.

TROOP OIL RULE
CALLED ILLEGAL
Injunction Restraining Inter-

duction Made Permanent.
BY she Associated Press.

BY ehe Associated Press.
TYLER, Tex, February 19.-On pro-
ration by military order in the gigantic
East Texas field has been declared by
q Federal court as illegal.
This decision was made yesterday by
a three-judge court in making perma-
nent temporary injunction restraining
the Texas Governor, Ross S. Sterling;
Brig. Gen. Jacob Wolters, in charge of
National Guard troops in the field, and
Adjt Gen. W. w. Sterling from inter-
fering with production of wells owned
by the plaintiffs, Eugene Constatin, j.
E. Wrather and other independent
operators.
The immediate result of the decision
was in doubt. Gov. Sterling declined to
state what action he would take until
he had studied the decision. Some
operators expressed belief the Governor
could maintain martial law, in force
since last August IT, pending an appeal,
while others believed lifting of military
rule at once was mandatory.
Troops Called For.
The Overton Refining Co., one Of the
original plaintiffs, and the Arrow Re-
flning Co. asked Gen. Wolters to assign
ing they feared they might be DESTROYED
and some of their wells opened.
Gen. Wolters, who already had been
cited for contempt of court for refusing
to obey the temporary injunction, re-
piled he would give the protection, but
would not allow the wells to produce
in excess of the rs barrels daily au-
thoriZed under martial law He said the
Overton Refining Co. had told him it
planned to open up its wells as q
result of the decision.
c. V. Terrell chairman Of the State
Railroad Commission, which normally
supervises operation of State laws regu-
lating natural resources, said that body
was prepared to assume supervision Of
the field in an emergency.
Members of Court.
Members of the court were Judges
Randolph Bryant of Sherman, Tex;
j. c. Hutcheson, Houston, Tex, and
William I. Grubb of Birmingham
In its decision the court declared
civil authority, under the United States
Government, was supreme over mill
tary power.
1t asserted that Gov. Sterling, Gen.
Wolters and Adjt. Gen. Sterling have
been without warrant of law interfer-
ing with and illegally depriving the
plaintiffs of their undoubted right to
operate their own properties in a pru-
dent and reasonable way and in accord
ance with the laws of the State"
The East Texas pool last Summer,
because of its great production, which
mounted approximately 100000 bar

ers of Capital Churches.

The Executive Committee of the Dis
tr1ct Women'S Christian Temperance
Union yesterday ordered 375 copies of a
prohibition pamphlet compiled by E. L.
Eaton. distributed to the pastors of all
Washington churches.
Mr.. Eaton, head of the Department
OF Evangelical Action of the Interna-
tional Reform Federation, issued the
manifesto, Why Are We Wet?" in an
effort to arouse the church member
voters to the necessity for concerted
action IN support of prohibition in the
next presidential election
In a foreword to the book, DR.. F.
Scott Mcbride, general superintendent
OF the Anti-Saloon League, predicts
prohibition will be chief issue in the
next presidential campaign and will
stay before the American people until
settled"
Mr.. Eatons document seeks to show
why the question should be settled in
favor OF the drys. The defenders of
liquor never have been and never will
be able to govern themselves, he con-
tends. When the open saloon existed,
rs per cent Of the country was under
the domination of BOOZE" his pamphlet
states
The eighteenth amendment was rati-
f1ed by a larger majority than the Con-
stitution ITSELF" Mr.. Eaton says, "and
it is very significant to note that of
1000 attempts to amend the Constitu-
tion, only II of them were successful"
before the passage of the eighteenth
amendment.

A new indictment charging CASTOR
B. Means with the larceny and en-

true bills originally brought in against
Means in connection with the money he

counts; two alleging larceny and two
embezzlement. The former Justice De-

ing to information from the Office Of
United States Attorney Leo A. Rover,
to meet the eXigencies of the case.
Counsel for Means had been advised
of the pendency of the new indictment
and the former Federal investigator was
brought into court for arraignment.
On application of counsel, however,
Justice James M. Proctor deferred ar
raignment until Friday and said at
that time the defendant would have
to plead or make any attack that was
proposed against the bill.

United States Attorney Rover also
protested vigorously against any delay.
He proposes to bring Means to trial

expected to face trial until week from
