Many NotabIes
Interested in
Morris Bank

In connection with the conven.
ton Of the Morris Plan Bankers
Association, to be held in this city
in October, it will be of interest
to know some of the nationally
and internationally prominent
men who have been connected
with Morris Plan institutions.
They are:
Former Vice President Charles
G. Dawes, Newton D. Baker, for.
mer Secretary of War; Walter C.
Allen, president of Yale and
Towne Manufacturing Company,
New York; Thomas F. Bayard,
former United States Senator
from Delaware; Coleman DUPONT,
former Senator from Delaware;
Robert S. Bradley, chairman,
American Agricultural Chemical
Company, Boston; Newcomb Carl
ton, president Western Union Tel
egraph Company, New York.
Other NOtables
Henry M. Dawes, former Comp
troller of Currency; Myron T.
Herrick, former Ambassador to
France, George Won L. Meyer, for
mer Secretary of the Navy;
Charles Il. Sabin. chairman, Guar
anty Trust Company. New York;
A. B. Swift, Swift and Company.
Chicago; Robert P. Lamont, Sec
retary of Commerce; Justice Har-
Ian F. Stone, formerly Of New
York and now Judge of the
United States Supreme Court;
Walter w. Head, a director and
member of the finance committee
of the Chicago and Northwestern
Railway Company.
Arthur j. Morris, founder Of
the Morris Plan system of bank
ing, states the best kind OF risks
are those people who have dis
covered what they can do, who
are satisfied in doing it and who
have a steady income. Two
things to be considered in pass
ing on a loan in Morris Plan
Bank, Mr.. Morris declares, are
character and capability.
Most People Honest
He declared that an overwhelm-
ing majority of people are hon.
est and that almost every person
pays his debts if they are in
Cured on terms CONSTANT with
his ability to meet them, and
that the nonpayment of debts is
not so liable to result from in
tention as from a persons having
contracted for more than he
can do.
Mr.. Morris idea has been
proved correct, as shown by the
remarkably small losses from
credit risks which Morris Plan
banks throughout the country
have suffered in a period Of 20
years, covering good times and
bad.

COLD SEEKER |S
 R|vALED BY CAT
 HUNTERS OF MAINE

While many jobless men in Cali fornia are making a fair living prospecting for gold along the mountain streams in the Mother Lode section in the summer and fall months, c. H. Hopewell, of Bangor, Me-, says that hundreds of others are deriving some income trapping wildcats in the woods of his state for the state bounty and the sale of pelts.
 The wildcat is the boss of the Maine woods and has greatly in- creased in numbers during the last years. The state bounty has been increased from $10 to $20 while in the open market the pelts bring $2. Last year some 5000 wildcats were caught, giving the hunters a total of $66,OO0.
 In this connection, Walter Brad ley of the California Division of Mines, thinks this summer there should be 10000 individual pros pectors for gold in the mountain streams as was the case last year when their aggregate sales of the yellow metal to the San Francisco mint was over $1,OOO,O0O.
 Tn addition" he said, ''in the summer and fall months there will be 10000 miners at work in the gold and other mines and in the nOn- metallic properties. Six thousand men have steady jobs in the gold mines throughout the state"
 William Sulzer, former governor and one time a congressman of New York, has struck it rich in gold quartz and gold placer properties near Chandler, Alaska, north of Nome, Dawson and Fairbanks.
 His partner, D. A. Murphy of Chandler, told of the mentioned strike while at the Hotel St. Francis en route home from a conference with the ex-governor in New York City.
 No doubt our gold mines are the farthest north on the North Ameri- can continent The point is about 300 miles north of Fairbanks. The airplane makes it easily accessible any time during the year."

NEPTUNE BECAME PEEWsH
 AND KICKED UP HEELS

Clark Andersen and Bob Hall celebrated the Fourth of July by running up to the San Juan Cold Storage in Bob's speedboat. This evidently made Neptune peevish. He kicked up a nasty swell and put feathers in his hat.
 On the return trip while the "put-put" put-putted Neptune rung in his white steeds and challenged them for a race-took length in front and kicked water into the faces of the two Jack Tars. They finally took refuge under a piece of canvas. But when they moored the Flamo at the ocean dock both had to stand on their heads to bail the water out of their pockets, shoes, B. V. D's and ears.
 After taking turnabout wringing each others shirt-tails, they took to the back alleys home. Clarke's marcelle was a disgrace.

 The Alaska Railroad made rate over the 4th of July to Fairbanks of one fare for the round trip, from Mckinley Park and way points. If the railroad management will give similar rate of one fare for the round trip during the summer and fall, from Seward, Anchorage and Fairbanks to Mckinley Park, it would enable a large number to have a most delightful outing, and many would visit for the first time Natures Wonderland" Mt.

The kill, including to- tals from former years, is said to be nine naughts in row.

said the commission. THE only re-
spondent which has attempted to justi-
fly the proposed increases, the Pullman
Co.. has no beneficial interest in the
surcharges. Here the evidence is con-
fined to an attempt to justify only the
sleeping car fares.
"No evidence was introduced to justi-
fly the increased surcharges and such
increases are not proposed by or in the
name Of the carriers to which they will
accrue, as TO the great bulk of the
sleeping car traric which Is conducted
by the Pullman Co.
THE present surcharges were in
itiated when transportation conditions
were abnormal and We cannot say that
any increase therein, in the light of
present conditions, is justifed. The
proposed taEiffs are submitted as a

ROOSEVELT LEADS
IN NORTH DAKOTA
Running Ahead of Murray in
Preferential Primary-Re-
turns Incomplete.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

With Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt of
New York running handily ahead of his
opponent, Gov. Alfalfa Bill'' Muir
ray, in the early returns in the
North Dakota presidential preferential
primary today, Roosevelt supporters
here are hopeful that another State
delegation pledged to the New Yorker
will be in the Roosevelt bag.
The returns are slow coming In
Roosevelt had 6.s6s votes to 4,214 In ESQ
precincts out Of total OF 2.235 pre-
cincts, according to Associated Press
reports. Presumably these early returns
are from the cities, where 1t has been
held that Roosevelt's strength was
greater. The Murray Democrats say
they hope to roll up a lead out in the
rural districts and among the farmers.
Whether their expectations will be
realized, however, Is another question.
Hoover Not Entered.
Interest in the North Dakota primary
centered strongly in the contest between
Roosevelt and Murray for the Demo-
cratic presidential preference. Presi-
dent Hoover did not enter the primary
on the Republican side, where former
Senator Joseph I. France of Maryland
and Gen" Jacob s. Coxey of Coxey's
army fame were left TO fight 1t out.
There were, however, two states of can
didates for delegates to the Republican
national convention, one pledged to
Hoover and the other for an uninstruct-
ed and anti-Hoover delegation, in the
field.
The returns from 100 voting precincts
gave France 4,089 votes and Coxey 1885.
The slimness of the vote in the Repub-
lican primary led to the belief here
that many of the Progressive or Nom
Partisan League group of Republicans
had gone bodily over to the Democratic
primary The fear of the Roosevelt
leaders has been that this migration of
Republicans and independents to the
Democratic primary might roll up a
vote for Murray, who represents to the
farmers of North Dakota a more vio-
lent protest against conditions today
than does Gov. Roosevelt.
If enough of the independent and
Non-Partisan League Republicans move
over to the Democratic primary to
make a real difference in the results

HOPEWELL, N. j., March 16.-Po-
lice delved still further back into the
history of kidnapping today in persist
ent efforts to see If from almost for
gotten famous cases they might learn
the secret of the theft Of the Lind
bergh baby.
Yesterday attention of investigators
was focused on the fantastic and
frustrated attempt to hdnap Max Phil
lips. wealthy retired collar maker, seven
years ago.
Nothing being learned from study
Of that case which might help solve
the present mystery, police eyes were
turned to another famous case which
occurred nine years ago.
In 1928 little Werner Alexanderson,
son of Schenectady, N. Y, scientist,
was kidnapped. There was much pub
lie excitement and the search spread
across the country. The child was
found at last near the Canadian
border. 4.
Convict Picked Up.
Today Rochester, N. Y, police picked
up Stanley c. Crandan, paroled con-
vict who was one of the principal fig
ures In the Alexanderson kidnapping.
He was questioned about the Lind
bergh kidnapping, but it was later an
nounced he had been freed of all sus-
picion.
The morning bulletin issued here to-
day made no reference to Crandall.
The bulletin, signed by Col. H. Norman
ScharwZkopf, superintendent Of State
police, said investigators sent TO the
home Of Mrs. Leandro Lightfoot, in
Highland Park, concerning the most
likely local lead of the moment, had not
returned and it was not known whether
anything of value had been discovered.
Mrs. Lightfoot had told OF two for
eign-born servants who left her employ
the day after the kidnapping. Coincident
with their departure, Mrs. Lightfoot
discovered that chiSel and some rough
wood, such as the kidnapers' ladder was
made of, were missing from her estate.
A chisel was found beneath the Lind
bergh nursery window.
Other Reports Awaited.

Proposed Estate Tax High
Survey Shows How States Seek to Keep Leyies Within
80 Per Cent, Credited Under U. S. Act,
While d. c. Bill Exceeds 1t.

80 per cent credit allowed by the Fed
eral Government. But at the same
time they have been careful not to ex-
ceed that 80 per cent.
The bill now pending in the Senate
committee, on which the Bureau Of
Efficiency has just reported, would go
further than merely collecting the 80
per cent credit of the Federal tax. The
Bureau Of Efficiency shows that this
bill would increase by an amount rang
ing up to possible per cent of the
net value Of the estate the total amount
heretofore collectible under the Federal
law.
Whereas State laws have been
framed to raise their collections UP to
but not to exceed 80 per cent of the
Federal tax, the District tax imposes
an additional tax in excess of the 80
per cent.
A review Of recent tax revision in the
States shows how the States specifically
limit their own levies to 80 per cent of
the Federal tax, or provide that their
own law shall become void upon termi-
nation of the 80 per cent Federal credit.
These are outstanding features of the
large amount of death tax legislation
