HODSON

Prepared to appeal to the coun-
try, President Hoover today had
pulled the "big stick" out Of the
bag with his stinging message as
sailing the Democratic House, in
directly criticizing the Senate,
and denouncing foes of drastic
economy.
The Presidents surprise mes
sage, delivered late yesterday, was
accepted as notice he will use his
veto power on bills which he be-
ieves will prevent a balanced
budget or undermine confidence.
called Campaign Speech
Partisan warfare, unrivaled in
bitterness since the session began,
broke loose as a result of Mr..
Hoover'S message. Democratic
leaders in the House in particu-
lar, resented the message as a
campaign speech.
They retaliated with declara-
tlons that the President had been
slow to seek economy, that his
own Secretary lobbied TO prevent
deep cuts, and that Cabinet Off
cerr tried to halt the Congress
Sional program.
In perhaps the harSheSt words
he has used in addressing Con-
greSs, the President observed that
a balanced budget is the chief
need of the country and Congress
is slow providing it by increased
taxation and economy.
The House he said, has fright
ened the country by wrecking the
economy program, passing roads
and pension bills, passing the
Goldsborough bill, and threaten
ing to embark the country on a
wave of initiation.
He demanded reconsideration
of the wrecked 5000, 900, 900
economy program.
Mr.. Hoover declared:

The District Grand Jury to-
day took up the case of Gas
ton B. Means, former Depart
ment of Justice agent, who is
charged with larceny after
trust of 100000 from Mrs,
Evalyn Walsh Mclean, promi-
nent society woman.
Mrs. Mclean, accompanied by
Albert w. Fox, her attorney, ap-
peared at the courthouse at
1890 and went into conference
with United States Attorney Leo
A. Rover.
Seven minutes later, the so
ciety matron went to the Grand
Jury to tell her story of the
alleged theft.

the Means case occupied little

was before the Jury from 10:37

In addition to the $1O0, 900 paid
to the later, Means also drew
$4,000 in expense money from
her.
Covers His Expenses
No demand has been made, how
ever, for the return of the $4,000,
since that was supposed to cover
Means expenses while he was
working on the case.
He had collected the 500, 900

that Colonel Lindbergh had paid

COTTON FORCES
AHEAD AFTER
DOWNFALL

NEW YORK. Sept. 9 0.NSD.
A firm tone ruled in the cotton
ring today following the break
that amounted to IS a bale at
the previous close. There was a
renewal of heavy selling, but 1t
was we'll taken and the run Of
contracts averaged gains of al
most so cents a bale.
Scattered price-fiXing orders
came from domestic and foreign
mills in the early trading. Ring
observers reported substantial
trade buying orders awaiting exc
cution under the market. There
was buying for a rally from Wall
Street and professional traders.
Heavy selling came from the
South and from spot houses.
Brokers who we're credited with
acting for the Far East sold
about $4,000 bales of distant
months.
Sales Are Small
Reports were received in spot
circles from all over the South
and especially from Texas that
actual cotton was almost impos-
sible to buy and that the interior
had stopped selling after Thurs
days decline of a cent pound.
In some quarters the inference
was drawn from this situation
that the market would have 10
advance to enable spinnerS to get
supplies of the raw material par
ticularly if activity in domestic
cotton goods market continued.
Noon quotations were up to 10
points. with October up 8 at 1913.

The good old strong arm was

yesterday.
Stocks we're tossed out in
bushels all day. yet the losses
might have been much bigger in
view of the enormous trading
support was there all the time
and there were no signs Of
wide-open break.
The reaction puts the market
to another test and today will
tell whether the current pattern
of the advance will be continued
or whether stocks will have to
go lower before getting another
foothold.
