WORLD MONEY
CHAOS WILL Be
FARLEY PUZZLE
Economic Conference Must
Solve 1t First to Reach
Stability.
BvTpiicd Press


LONDON, Oct. 5.-When the
world economic conference meets
here in December, it will have to
deal with the chaos prevailing in
international currencies before an
effective approach to raising the
commodity price level can be made.
The financial crisis of 1881
knocked the currencies of more than
thirty countries off their founda-
tons.
Desperate attempts we're made to
maintain some sort of defacto sta
bility by placing severe restric-
items on foreign exchange.
AS things now stand, the world 6
currencies are divided into three
classes.
The first is the group of curren-
cies officially and effectively still
convertible into gold; namely. the
United States dollar and the French,
Swiss, Belgian and Dutch none
IdTy uLlCS.
The second class is the group Of
ficially off the gold standard, in
GLIDING all of the parts of the Brit
ish Empire except Canada and South
Africa, the Scandinavian and South
American countries, Japan and So
Wet Russia.
The third group consists Of those
countries officially on gold, but eff
fectively off it, their exchange rates
being pegged by various devices and
restrictions, such as Germany and
Austria.
1t is a recognized fact that Bril-
tain's monetary policy is pivotal
and that so long as she stays of
the gold standard, two dozen other
countries will do likewise.
Therefore, if before the economic
conference meets, Britain makes a
definite approach toward restabiliz-
ing the pound sterling on a gold
basis, it will be a tremendous fac
tor in restoring equilibrium to the
worlds currencies.
At present the pound sterling is
"pegged" at a slightly varying rate
in terms of the dollar and French
franc by virtue of the exchange
equalization account with resources

Socialist Candidate Voices
SCorn of HooVer'S Claim
to Saving Nation

By United Prcss
PORTLAND, Ore, Oct. 5.-Nor-
man Thomas, Socialist candidate
Tor President, carried his campaign
into President Hoovers home state
today, obviously cheered by the size
Of the crowd which heard him es-
pouse collective ownership" here
Tuesday night.
Under capitalism, We get out OF
each depression just in time TO 60
into another-and each depression
gets worse, the tall, gray-haired
candidate told 5000 listeners.
I heard the beginning and end
Of President Herbert Hoover's speech
in Des Moines. He claimed he had
saved the American system, but he
gave little assurance Of what would
happen to the 10000, 900 unemployed
men and women this winter"
Urges Municipal Ownership
Thomas, who admitted he had lit
tie chance of election, declared
voters are 'ganging up on Hoover
by voting for Roosevelt. Instead of
being crushed by the elephant they
are going to be kicked to death by
the donkey"
Thomas urged municipal owner
ship of public utilities, and assailed
the eight-point program of Cover
nor Franklin D. Roosevelt, Demo-
cratic nominee, for control of the
power trust"
The Socialist party favors de-
velopment of every power site in
America with the control of each
remaining in the hands of the pub
lie, Thomas said.
His listeners cheered when the
candidate criticised the insult power
investigation.
AL CapOne's Hard Luck
Undoubtedly, when Al Capone
in prison, read about insult and the
activities of owen D. Young and
other white hopes of capitalism, he
said to himself: Where is justice?
Why am l in iail?' "
Thomas expressed contempt for
both Hoover and Roosevelt upon
his arrival here.
There is no reason to make men
ton OF Hoover" he said. "Roose-
welt, too, is no bowling success. He
is the weakest Governor New York
ever had"

FIGHT PLANNED
ON.EV|CT|ONS

Injunction for home owners
from eviction on loss of their
property because of judgments
for debts or other obligations
will be sought in the District by
Representative Loring M. Black
CD, of New York, he announced
today.
Black plans to introduce a bill
to amend the District code to
provide the exemption. The pres
ent law excludes certain personal
property from attachment be-
cause of debt.
The Black amendment would
not affect foreclosure on mort
cages.
Discussing his proposal, Black
said that one of the worst effects
of the depression was the evic-
ton of home owners to satisfy
judgments preferred by creditors.

floor mat of the automobile was
propped up in such fashion that
the gas from the engine filled
the tightly closed car. The keys
to the car were in Belongs

were not locked. The boy was
barely alive, Stanton said, when
he found him.

JAFS|E RANSOM
LINK To FOX"
SOUGHT
! Whitaker Refuses to Talk
Until He Sees Letters;
Sister Released

The arrest of Norman T.
Whitaker, Washington lawyer,
in New York took on new
significance today when it de-
veloped til It Government
agents are working on the
theory that he may have col
lected the $4,000 ransom
money from DR.. John F.
"Jafsie" Condor.
Their interest is based on his
alleged assertion that he had
$49,5OO of hot" money that he
wished to dispose of to Mrs. Eva
lyn Walsh Mclean in return for
$35, 900 in unmarked bills.
Whitaker's sister, Miss Dorothy
Whitaker, of 909 Twentieth ST.,
N. W., was released after ques-
tioning by agents of the Depart
ment of Justice here. They were
endeavoring to clear up the iden-
tity of a woman who talked over
the telephone several times with
Mrs. Mclean.
Whitaker, former patent law
yer here, former chess champion
and ex.convict, is alleged to be
"the Fox" of the CASTOR B.
Means hoax perpetrated on Mrs.
Mclean. She has already iden-
tiled him in the New York police
lineup.
Intensive Search
The search for Whitaker is
described as one of the most in
tensive man-hunts ever under
taken. More than a score of
operatives we're engaged. and
thousands of suspects were in
vestigated until, by a process of
elimination, the search narrowed
down to Whitaker.
Whitaker says he never re-
ceived any of the $104,000 OBJ
tained by Means from Mrs. Nc
Lean. He may be brought to
Washington today. He has not
admitted knowing Means and
has refused to talk until he sees
a lawyer. In the Means trial
it was testified that the Fox"
had said he had held the Lind
bergh child in his arms, though
the child was actually dead at
the time.

z SLAYERS DIE
IN ELECTRIC
CHAIR HERE
One Leaves a Poem, Other
Almost Races to
His Doom

The law today exacted the
maximum penalty for the muir
der of Lamar York, a prohibi-
tion agent, when his two
slayers were put to death in
the electric chair at District
Jail.
John Logan, 26, colored, walked
to his death first. At 10 a. m. he
came from his death cell, across
the rotunda and down the 1875
feet to the death chamber. Two
guards and his two spiritual ad.
visers, the Rev. James L. Pinn
and the Rev. w. l.. washington,
accompanied him.
He did not hesitate. He walked
so fast the guards had difficulty
keeping pace with him. The cur
rent was shooting through his
body two minutes later, and the
2,100 volts were cut off at 1904.
He was pronounced dead by DR..
Walter K. Angevine, of the Dis
trict Jail, and DR.. A. Magruder
Mcdonald at 10:07.
Greets Attendant
Logan made no comment on the
way to the chair. He licked his
lips just before he was strapped
into it, and as he passed Edward
F.. McGinn, property clerk, he
said:
Hello, Mac"
That was all.
John Borum, %, also colored,
then entered the death chamber.
and after shaking hands with all
the guards, was strapped in the
chair at 10:11 a. m. The current
was turned on two minutes later
and was cut off at 1915. He was
pronounced dead at 1919. The
Rev. John B. Affleck. of Catholic
University, administered last rites
of the Catholic church.
Thanks Jail Staff
Borum walked slowly, limping
somewhat. He was i'll with tuber-
culosiS. In a note to the press he
expressed appreciation to Col. w.
L. Peak, warden, and all attaches
of the Jail for consideration he
had received. The statement in
cluded the following poem:
Where is the terror? Where is
the dread?
For after all is done and said,
To die is merely to sleep on
Until the moon melts with the
morn"
About 20 persons witnessed the
executions.
High mass was said in the
rotunda of the Jail for Borum
who was confirmed by Bishop
John M. Mcnamara in a private
room of the Jail Monday. 1t was
the first mass held incident to
an execution at the Jail since
that said for James H. jackson.
colored, who was hanged there in
1920.
Incidentally, it was also the
first confirmation prior to an
execution held in the jail since
that of Edgar R. Perrygo in 1921.
Perrygo, however, was later given
a communication of sentence and
sent to Atlanta.
Today's execution marked the
first double one held in the Dis.
trict Jail. A triple execution was
held at the Jail on June %, 1928,
when the slayers of Policeman
Leo w. K. Busch were electro
clIted
