SAYS
c. D. P. CHANCE
To WIN GOOD
Former President Refuses to
AmpIify Statement; On
Way to Funeral

NEW YORK, Oct. 10 GN.SD.
Former President Calvin Cool
idge thinks Republican chances
of victory in November care
good, " he said upon his arrival
in New York shortly before
noon today. However, he
would not amplify the asser-
ton.
Mr.. Coolidge, in fact, did not
want to talk politics at all. When
he stepped off his train he was
surrounded by dozen newspaper
men and asked if he would answer
some questions. He gave a one
word answer. One of the re-
porterS spoke up:
what do you think Of the
Republican chances"
Think They Are Good
Mr.. Coolidge frowned. After
a moment of silence, he said:
Didn't you hear me say 1
would not answer any queS-
tiOnS? OF course, I think they
are good. But that does not
excuse you for asking me-"
The former President, sur
rounded by secret service men,
strobe away. This afternoon he
was to attend the funeral of
Darwin P. Kingsley, chairman Of
the board of the New York Life
Insurance Company.
Tomorrow night Mr.. Coolidge
will speak at a Republican rally
at Madison Square Garden. An
other speaker on the same pro-
gram will be Col. William J.
Donovan, Republican candidate
for Governor of New York.

At Democratic national head
quarters, James A. Farley, chair

BY BUILDERS

Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton credit, reforms in building
appraisals, and opportunities for
construction work in city slums,
were among topics discussed to-
day at the fall meeting of the
board of the Associated General
Contractors at the Shoreham
Hotel.
The Reconstruction Finance
Corporation should not be
criticized, at least not yet, for
slowness in extending loans, if
these loans are to be based on
sound projects duly investigated,
H. T. Treadway, of Kansas City,
told the board members.
The construction industry has
not "over built" in the light of
needs for normal times, and
building opportunities exist in
doing away with slums, F. j. c.
Dresser, of Cleveland, told the
gathering.
A. E. Horst, of Philadelphia,
blamed over appraisals of build
ing projects for present defaults
in building securities, and advo-
Gated certifying building
appraisers.
Last year Mr.. Horst advocated
a similar move at the outset of
the conference on home building
called by President Hoover.

PUBLICITY
FOR UTILITIES

Full publicity was urged as the
best method Of eradicating cor
porate abuses III the public utility
field, in an address this after
noon by George Otis Smith, chair
man of the Federal Power Com
mission, before the section of pub
lie utility law of the American
Bar Association. meeting at the
United States Chamber of Com
merce.
At the same meeting a report
by a special committee was pre-
Sented, in which removal of all
ederal antitrust restrictions
against American railroads was
suggested. The report pointed
out that railroads are regulated
as though they were natural
monopolieS, and that the two
points of view are Inconsistent.
Commissioner Smith spoke
briefly on abuses by holding COM
panies, which, he said. conceal
the true state of a. corporations
affairs. The growth of the use
of electric power, he said, made
it difficult to forecast develop
ments so years ahead, and con-
Sequently his commission was
hesitant about making too drastic
provisions in 50-year leases.
The section was welcomed with
an address by Joseph B. East
man, of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, replied to by
Frank A. Reid, cha. rman. Re
ports of several committees were
considered today.

Unfair Trial Charged
Attorneys for the condemned

they had not been given o fair

During the trial at Scottsboro,
the national guard was called out
to prevent trouble.
This, as we'll as alleged exclu-
sion of negroes from jury duty,
failure of the court to grant
change of venue and lack of
proper representation for the &C

for a new trial.
The State of Alabama, through
its attorney general, prepared to
argue vigorously before the court
that the negroes were given a fair
trial, and that there was no doubt
as to their guilt.
The alleged crime was said to
have been committed after the
negroes chased several white boys

When he talked about the
bankruptcies and liabilities which
resulted in his indictment, he
was cool and meticulous in his
presentation Of figures.
The arrest was made at 1880
D. M, after which insult accom-
panied the chief Of police from
the hotel.
Formal Order Lacking
This development climaxed a
series of mysterious and rapidly
succeeding events which began
last Wednesday with the disap-
pearance of insult and his son,
Samuel, jr., from the Hotel Lin
coin, in Paris, although they left
Mrs. insult there.
The arrest was decided upon fol.

No formal order for the move
was received here, and it was un-

Insults Deportation to Italy Sought
By United States In Strategy MoUe

CHICAGO. Oct. 10 0N.SD.
The deportation of the fugitive
Samuel insult from Athe ems,
Greece, to Italy was sought by the
State of Illinois today.
In a telegram to the State De
partment in Washington, Acting
Gov. Fred S. Sterling asked that
the Greek Government be re-
quested to arrest and detain the
former utilities CZar, pending his
deportation as an undesirable
alien to Italy, from where he fled
to Greece.
Not many hours after Sterling's
appeal to the State Department
had been forwarded came word
from Athens that police of the
Greek capital had arrested the
dethroned power king"
This move was made by the
State in an effort to achieve the
extradition of insult to the United
States, where he stands charged
with embezzlement and larceny
in connection with the crash of
his $2,OOO,OOO,OOO light and power
domain.
Acts for Governor
Sterling, acting in the absence
of Governor Louis L. EmmerSon
from Springfield, dispatched his
request to the State Department
after receiving a telegram from
Assistant States Attorney Charles
E. Bellows.
Bellows pointed out that In
sull's flight to Greece does not
render his extradition impossible,
despite the fact that the treaty
ion that subject between the Med
iterranean nation and the United
states has never been properly
ratified.
The assistant prosecutor dug
The Washington times., 1932-10-10

up precedent to prove that insult
can be deported to Italy, with
whom an extradition treaty with
the United States is in force.
Move Against Son
Meanwhile, an attempt was to
be made today to bring Insults
son, Samuel insult, jr., back to
Chicago from France Immediately.
Another development was the
effort of States Attorney John A.
Swanson to trace the source Of
$500 repeatedly cabled to In.
Sull in Europe.

BANK QUIZ EYES
MEYER PLAN

The proposal of Gov. Eugene
Meyer, of the Federal Reserve
Board, for legislation to estab-
lish one national commercial
banking system was considered
by the House Banking Committee
today.
Called before the committee to
testify on the GoldSborough bill
directing the board to lift prices,
Meyer emphasized his belief that
the banking system of the coun'
try must be changed.
Without outlining his plan in
detail, he indicated he would
bring all commercial banks into
the national or Federal Reserve
system with authority to govern
their banking practices. He said:
'If we have a national char
ter for banks and their func-
tiOnS are restricted, you will
avoid many of the abuses of
credit. 1 don't mean to say
the present situation is the re-
suit of any one thing, but bad
banking has been a factor"
The committee has already re-
ported out the Steagall bill de,
signed to stabilize the banking
situation. 1t would prohibit for
nation of national banks in the
future with less than $4,000
capital.

D RY EDUCATOR
NOW A WET

DR.. Ernest M. Hopkins, presi-

joined the army of noted educa-
tors demanding repeal of the
Eighteenth Amendment.
In letter to Senator Bingham
(RJ of Connecticut. DR.. Hopkins
declared repeal of prohibition
was vital to the welfare of the
country at large. He said further:
II am opposed to the amend
ment and 1 believe that it
should be repealed. Until two
years ago 1 withheld from the
public statements of my con-
viction that the principle of
the law was wrong because 1
assumed that the practice
might show possibilities of pub
lie advantage sufficient to out
weigh what seemed to me the
fallacieS of it's theory.
81 have come to the point
now, however, where 1 not only
believe that the repeal of this
amendment is important, but
moreover, / believe it is funda-
mentally vital to the welfare of
the country at large"

WAGNER LEADS,
BACKED BY
WOMEN
State Control, Without Any
Saloons, Urged; New
Party Threatened

Antiprohibitionists appealed
today to the Senate judiciary
subcommittee. considering con
gressional action on the prohi.
bition question, to act for re-
peal of the Eighteenth Amend,
ment.
Senator Wagner (D.) of New
York declared:
National prohibition has
made a breach between the
people and the law"
"NO sane man would urge
the return of the liquor traf-
fic merely to bring in a huge
revenue, but the traffic is al
ready here!"
The movement for repeal today
emanates from the moral forces
OF the nation, Wagner said.
Through this country is flow.
ing a mighty river which is
inundating all of us and, for a
dozen years, we have been un-
able to stop it. We are manacled
to the Eighteenth Amendment!
"NOt only has the law failed
to establish national standard
but it has trampled down every
local standard"
He said there were three OBJ,
jectiveS to be gained separately
in the reconstruction movement:
State responsibility for liquor con-
troll, protection of prohibition
States against encroachment of
non-prohibition States, and provi,
sion against the restoration of
the saloon.
Women Oppose Dry Law
Miss M. Louise Gross, chair
man, Women'S Moderation Union,
said there are now on record
over 100000 women against
prohibition. She charged:
"The question of what will
take the place of the Eight
eenth Amendment is a smoke
screen! This is something
that is up to each State to de-
eide. do not approve of any
plans of a national nature.
We hear lot today about the
formation of a third party, if
the two parties don't act, for
dry candidates. Well, why
can't the vets form a fourth
party? Other countries have
five or six parties. Why must
we have only twO?"
Wealthy men would contribute
to fourth party, Miss Gross as
serted. She read a letter from
William E. Norvell, jr., Democrat,
of Nashville, Tenn, and Olin J,
Garlock, Republican from Pal,
myra, N. Y, saying they would
not contribute a cent to their par
ties unless they took definite
stands on prohibition. According
to Miss Gross, Norvell said:
