INOUYE WELL KNOWN HERE.
Assassinated Ex-Minister Had Visited
L. S. On Two Occasions.

BY the Associated Press
The assassination of Junnosuke
Inouye former Finance Minister in the
late Wakatusuki Cabinet in Toxic
created a deep impression in Washing
ton as Mr.. Inouye was well known
personally to many officials of the
State Department and of the Diplo-
matte Corps.
He had visited the United States on
two occasions and his home in Toxic
was always open to American bankers
and diplomats visiting Japan.
In 1908, he went to New York as
manager of the Bank of Japan and
remained there for about two years.
In 1926 he visited the United States
again and went to Europe, where he
participated unoficially in the con-
sideration of the Young plan
The Japanese embassy is without any
direct advice concerning the assassi-
nation.
Mr. Inouye was looked upon by for
eign bankers as the great apostle of a
balanced budget in Japan. He was
responsible for having Japan return to
the gold standard, and the fact that
he was eager to reduce military and
naval expenditures at the time of the
opening of the Manchurian trouble has
led to much speculation in Washington
as to whether he was the victim of an
opponent of the conservative policy
which he advocated.

TO BECOME SCOUT LEADERS
Their Mature Judgment and
Tolerance Called Beneficial
to Girls.
Principles, but Not Prejudice,
Termed Essential to
Leadership.

Women 80 years old and over should
assume a more active role in Girl Scout
leadership, according to Miss Alice
Philipson, a member of the national
field training staff, who is visitor in
Washington this week.
Younger age groups now constitute
the majority of the 10000 Girl Scout
troop captains in the United States,
Miss Philipsor pointed out.
1T is a pity" she said, that more
womeI over 80 do not take up Scout
leadership as an avocation They have
by that time their families or careers
we'll started and the young people would
profit by their matured experience.
"A Girl Scout leader must have
principles, but no prejudices," she con-
tinued. AT 80 or thereabouts most
women have got rid of the prejudices
of youth and have not yet assumed the
prejudices of age. They are more or
less open minded. An open and well

BY the Associated Press.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass, February O.
Former President Calvin Coolidge and
the New York Life Insurance Co, of
which ne is director, have been named
co-defendants in 100000 suit
The suit was instituted by Lewis B.
Tebbetts, a St. Louis insurance man,
who alleges his reputation as an honest
insurance agent has been injured and
greatly damaged as a result of a radio
talk given by Mr.. Coolidge on October
6, 1881, and remarks afterward pub
lished In pamphlet form by the New
York Life Insurance Co.
Papers in the suit were served on Mr..
Coolidge at his Northampton home yes
terday by Sheriff Henry j. Sargent of
Hampshire County. Charles Weinberg
Of Springfield has been retained by St.
Louis attorneys acting for Tebbetts.
A summons was served on the New
York Life Insurance Co. on January Is
through Insurance Commissioner Mer-
ton L. Brown. requiring the company to
appear before the Hampshire County
Superior Court in Northampton.
Weinberg says that his client is a
proponent of term insurance" or in
surance for protection only. Tebbetts
alleges that Mr.. Coolidge, in his radio
talk, indirectly referred to him and his
insurance methods. and that these re-
marks were afterward printed in PAM
phlet form by the insurance company
of which the former president is a
director
Mr.. Coolidge's election as a director
OF the New York Life has been his only
connection with the business world since
his retirement from the presidency in
March, 1929. He has made frequent
trips from his Northampton home to
New York to attend meetings of the
board of directors of the New York
Life. and recently he made a series of
radio addresses on life insurance. One
OF the recent addresses is the basis for

SUIT OPENS TO END
SUGAR INSTITUTE
Attorney for SpreckIes Inter-

Court Action.

NEW YORK, February 9-Trial of
the Governments suit to dissolve the
Sugar Institute, Inc, of which practi-
cally all the sugar reflneries in the
country are members, was begun today
before Federal Judge Julian w. Mack.
At the opening, Cornelius w. Wicker
sham moved for dismissal of the ac-
ton as to the Spreckels Sugar Corpora
ton, Rudolph Spreckels, its president;
W. w. Harper, vice president, and Ed
gar Stone, former vice president Of the
Federal Sugar Refining Co. and direc-
tor of the Spreckels Sugar Corporation.
Wickershams motion, based on the
fact that the Spreckels Sugar Corpora
ton ceased refining sugar on August
30, 1890, after losing some $7,000,000
and Is now in the hands OF a receiver,
was opposed by James Lawrence Fly

Rudolph spreckles," said Fly "is
too big a man to haul down the nag
in any industry. The SpreckleS family
has been in the sugar refining business
for generations 1t controlled the Fed
eral Sugar Refining Co., which was re-
organized as the Spreckles Sugar Cor
poration and no doubt at present there
is a possibility of reorganization under
another form
Fly said Rudolph Spreckles had been
the leading spirit in the organization
Of the Sugar Institute and one Of the
chief factors In its operation"
Nevertheless" said Judge Mack,
this is an equity proceeding in which
YOU seek to dissolve the institute and
to enjoin the defendants. There is no
attempt to punish made here and If
the defendants named by their counsel
are no longer members of the institute,
as he claims, and no longer conducting
a sugar refining business, I am inclined
to believe the motion will have to be
granted"
Fly asserted he did not believe the
SpreckleS interests would ever with
draw from the sugar refining industry,
whereupon Judge Mack gave him the
opportunity to cross-examine Spreckles.

Spreckles?" asked Fly.
Spreckles nodded slightly as he an

Asked by the court how large pro-
portion of the corporate stock he held,

since October "a. without gaining any

Fink challenged the validity of the
indictment.
There was not sufficient informa-
tion in the indictment to prepare the
defendant for a defense" said Fink,
never mentioning the name Of Capone.

tain a conviction. 1t violates all con-
