the defendants there commenced a
deliberate attempt to arouse public
prejudice against them by series OF
almost daily interviews given to the
press by prosecuting officials. .
"(5) witnesses were produced at the
trials with information in the hands of
the prosecution that seriously chal-
lenged the credibility Of the witnesses
but this information was deliberately
concealed.
"(6) Witnesses were permitted to
testify at the trials despite such knowl-
edge in the possession of the prosecu-
tion of prior contradictory stories told
by these witnesses, as to make their
mere production q vouching for per-
jured testimony.
"(7) Witnesses were coached in their
testimony to degree that approxi-
mated subornation of perjury. There
is strong inference that some OF this
coaching was done by prosecuting Off
cials and other evidence points to
knowledge by the prosecuting officials
that such coaching was being practiced
on other witnesses.
"(8) The prejudice against the de-
PENDANTS, stimulated by newspaper pub
licity, was further appealed to at the
trials by unfair and Incorporate argu-
ments to the jury in the opening and
closing statements Of the prosecuting
attorneys.

casting doubt on the justice Of the con-
victions were minimized. and every at

the defendants by a campaign Of mis-
representation and propaganda carried
on by the officials who had prosecuted

CUT-THR0AT TRADE
SCORED BY HOOVER
President Says Competition
Is Injuring Waterways
and Railroads.
BY the Associated Press

By the Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA, October 26.-Presi-
dent Hoover IN letter to be read to
the Atlantic Deeper Waterways ASsocia-
ton convention, which opens here to-
morrow, says that "cut-throat competi-
tion is not only injuring waterway
traffic itself but Is damaging our other
great arm Of transportation, the rail-
ways"
I'VE must work out the problem Of
regulation Of transportation by water" "
the President says, because the cut
throat competition now going on in
certain cases is making impossible the
entry and maintenance of adequate
services upon these channels"
The letter dated yesterday and ad-
dressed to Mayor j. Hampton Moore,
president of the waterways association,
says:
Interested In Projects.
"The development Of the natural
water channels with which the United
States is SO richly blessed has for many
years been an active interest with me.
They provide an economical means Of
transportation Of bulk goods that Is Of
immense benefit to farmers and the
heavy INDUSTRIES. lneSe DeneItS renecJ
to the whole Nation in increased buying
power of the agricultural communities
and in lessened costs to the consumers.
Twice as much work on these inland
waterways has been accomplished in the
last three years as in any comparable
period in our history.
Cites New Problems.
I'VE have new problems before us in
the matter Of waterways. We must
work out the problem of regulation Of
transportation by water: First. because
the cut-throat competition now going
on in certain cases is making impossible
the entry and maintenance Of adequate
services upon these channels. And,
second, this cut-throat competition is
not only tnjuring waterway trafic itself
but it is damaging our other great arm
of transportation, that Is. the railways
There is place for both of these in
our system, and their development can
be made of mutual interest. A study of
these problems by your association
would be a contribution to the proper
development Of the waterways and the
securing of the advantages which they
offer.
Il wish you success in your labors to
promote the development Of these great
national services"

DISTRICT ADMIRERS
GREET ROOSEVELT
Democratic Nominee Unable
to Respond Because of
HOarSeneSS.

Hurrying on to Baltimore to deliver
speech last night, Gov. Franklin D.
Roosevelt had to pass up an impromptu
reception by several thousand Wash
ingtonians who crowded around the east
end of Union Station yesterday after
noon to await the special train of the
Democratic presidential nominee.
The driveways at one end Of the
station were jammed with men, women
and children waiting to get glimpse
of the New York Governor. Local
Democratic leaders had hoped it would
be possible to have Gov. Roosevelt leave
the train for few minutes and greet
the crowd from an automobile, which
was waiting in the train sheds.
AS soon as the train arrived at
5:02 pm, John F. Costello, Democratic
national committeeman for the District
and John B. Colpoys, chairman of the
Democratic Central Committee, boarded
the observation platform and told Gov
Roosevelt of the crowd that had as
sembled to welcome him. Gov. Roc e.
welt expressed to them his deep regret
that it would be impossible for him to
leave the train. and asked them to
Conveys Thanks.
Gov. Roosevelt asked us to convey
to the people of the District his thanks
for the interest they have in him and in
the campaign he Is making In the cause
of the liberal forces Of the country
Colpoys and Costello said later. He
was tired and hoarse and did not want
to leave the train unless he could say
something to them"
Mr.. Colpoys then went to the outside
of the station and explained the sit
uation to the assemblage. The crowd
began to thin out but many fingered
around the entrance and along the
fence inclosing the trainshed until after
the train had resumed its journey to
Baltimore.
As the train EMERGED from the tunnel
by which Southern .rcinS enter the
Capital, Gov Roosevelt came out on
the rear platform and waved a greet
ing to a group Of Democratic officials
who were waiting near the track.
Speaker Garner, the Democratic vice
presidential nominee, who had boarded
the special at Alexandria. was on the
platform with the Governor and they
posed together for battery of pho
dR1lSlo.
Escort TO Baltimore.
Gov. Albert C. Ritchie and Senator
Millard E. Tydings Of Maryland were
among those who welcomed Roosevelt

him to Baltimore. Others who were at
the station included Senator's Swanson
of Virginia and Smith Of South Caro-
lima. Gov. Ritchie was accompanied by
a group Of Marylanders, including How
ard Bruce, j. Enos Ray and E. Lester

VOLUME
SHOWS INCREASE
Postmaster General Brown
Reports New Rates Have
Checked Losses.

Postal volume, considered highly
important index to general business
conditions Is showing a pickup, 1t
was said today at the Post Office De-
partment.
The increase at this time of year Is
seasonal. but thus far this month, it
is reported at higher rate than were
the seasonal increases of october,
193O-31. The volume itself, of course,
is down in comparison with the previ-
GUS years, this decline having been
steady during the depression.
What the increase will amount to In
dollars and cents will await the COM
pilation of figures when all returns are
in for the month.
Brown Gives Figures.
Information as to the present trend
was given in connection with a letter
written by Postmaster General Brown
to Chairman Mead Of the House Post
ONCE Committee, discussing the result
of the postal rate increase, principally
that boosting letter mail from two to
three cents.
Browns letter, and accompanying
charts, show the new rates have checked
sharply the decline in revenues which
have been steady for the last couple OF
years. The computation is based on re-
ceipts from the SO largest Offices in the
country, which are deemed to reflect
accurately conditions as whole. AS
the Postmaster General explains, the
full effect of the new rates cannot be
determined until all accounts for the
quarter have been audited.
s63,o0o,Ooo Deficit Seen.
On. the basis Of the returns from the
z at ;e t,s,,a tod m H.
ule will produce about S100, 900 900 more
than the old rates, and that the postal
deficit for the year will approximate
$63 900 900.
A comparison Of receipts from the
so cities for the calendar year 1881 and
for the three quarters of the present
year show how the new charges have
acted.
For the first three months Of the
year the decline for 1882 under 1887
was 1892 per cent. for the next three
it was 1888 and for the September
quarter, 120 per cent. The September
quarter receipts totaled S73.4lO,579.l0.
or 1891 00392 under the figures last
year. In the first quarter in which
they were operative. Brown estimates
that the new rates produced sl2,208,322
more than the old. The September

City Figures Compared.
An interesting comparison also is
shown in figures for so industrial cities.
In these, the first-quarter decline OF
1892. compared with 1881, was l2.42 per
cent: the second quarter. 1877 per cent,
and in the third quarter this had turned
into an increase Of slightly more than
e-quarter of l per cent, the exact
figure being %
The department figures that its total
revenues for the fiscal year ending next
June 30 will approximate s622,00o, 900, in
comparison to something between $780,
900 900 and s525 900 600 that would have
been returned under the old rates. Ex-
penditures are figured at s735o00, 600,
which will leave a deficit Of $4,000 600.
OF this sum, however. there is about
$50. 600 900 going for mail subsidies. put
ting the net postal deficit at s63 900, 900.
In the past fiscal year this net was in
excess Of s152 100000.
