The phrase ''the best government

CLIFFORD INSISTS
RED CROSS AIDING
Refuses to Bare informant
on 100000 Fund
for Miners.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Presidents organization for un-
employment relief maintained today it
has been informed the Red Cross has
set aside more than s1,000,000, which
was left over from 1880 drought relief,
for aid to suffering miners and their
families.
Although Red Cross officials yester-
day said they were "at loss" to ex-
plain a statement to this effect by
Walter S. Clifford, director of the Presi-
dents organization, spokesmen for the
committee today insisted they had been
informed on the figure The source of
their information they refused to
disclose.
Pleas Repeatedly Refused.
The committee also said it was Gif-
fords understanding that the use of
the National Red Cross money Is not
necessarily a change in policy, since it
does not involve Red Cross reserve
funds. Chairman Payne of the Red
Cross repeatedly has refused demands
for miners relief by the national or
ganization. He has said local chapters
might use any funds they had, and
spokesmen repeated yesterday there had
been mo change in policy"
68 Chapters at Work.
Chairman Payne said that SO chap
tcrs in mining districts are participat-
ing in unemployment relief with other
social agencies. 1t was said also that
since this report, for December l, about
20 other chapters in mining territory
had joined In relief. The Presidents
Committee said today that local Red
Cross chapters are working in "prac-
tically every county where need exists. "

Their railroad fair paid by Secretary

the main body of Father Cox's jobless
marchers left for home, the men were
unwittingly left behind.
When the District of Columbia Com
mittee on Employment declined to pay
their train fare home, an appeal was
made to Representative Clyde Kelly of
Pennsylvania. He asked for and got
more & Ohio and Pennsylvania Rail-
roads. Figuring on only 200 men, at
$3.50 each, this was to cost $500.
With Pittsburgh colleague, Repre-
sentative Erik, he called the Treasury,
and Secretary Mellon promised to un-
derwrite the trip. But at the last
moment, 76 other men, hearing they
were to go home, turned up. Repre-
sentative Kelly again called the Treas
ury, and the Secretary again gave his
approval, bringing the total bill to
$l,242.
The group pulled out of Union Sta
tion for Pittsburgh yesterday afternoon
in six day coaches coupled to regular
express trains of the B. & o. and Penn

SENATORS TO STUDY
REPORT ON MOONEY
Document Charging Frauds in
Two Trials Nav Bring Leg
isIation, Walsh Says.

The report on the Mooney Billings
case, in which three Wickersham Com
mission experts charged violations of
California law by police and prosecu-
ton, will be referred to the Senate
Judiciary Committee for possible con-
Sideration of legislation to avoid similar
miscarriages of justice in the future, "
Senator Walsh, Democrat, of Montana,
said yesterday.
Walsh was one Of the authors of
the resolution under which the Senate
called for copy of the hitherto un-
disclosed report. The document, sent
to the Senate yesterday was submitted
to the commission last June by three
experts as part of study of 'lawless-
ness in law enforcement" 1t was not
accepted, the commission holding it had
no right to review State cases.

From the arrest of Thomas ]. Moo

cutting authorities were charged
The volume bears the names of Zech-
ariah Chafee. jr.; Walter H. Pollak and
Carl S. Stern, described as consult

A. Halleran, assistant"
The charges contained in a concise
statement of conclusions" at the end
of the book included the assertion that
witnesses were coached in their testi-
mony to a degree that approximated
subornation of perjury.
There is a strong inference" it con-
tinued, that some of this coaching was
done by prosecuting officials and other
evidence points to knowledge by the
prosecuting officials that such coaching
was being practiced on other witnesses"

PARIS, January 9.-The attitude OF
France at the Disarmament Conference
next month will follow the lines OF the
recent memorandum to the League OF
Nations setting forth the contention
that security Is the basis for reduction

The Superior Council Of National De-
tense has decided that this will be the
policy.
Carrying its thesis further in the
memorandum to the League, france
maintained that there should De syS-
TEN of mutual armed assistance among
the nations which could function
promptly and effectively The govern
ment also is ready to study all general
solutions, such as universal pledges OF
mutual assistance, combination OF
local agreements or the creation OF an
international armed force.
1t was learned that plan for mutual
assistance has been prepared by the
French experts, but its exact nature has
not been divulged.
Former Premier Paul Painleve, men
toned as a possible successor to the late
Andre Maginot as minister Of war, wrote
in a newspaper article published today
that reduction of armaments must be

Mr.. Graham was regarded by mem
bers Of all political parties as one of
the outstanding figures in the last

Adept With Figures.
He was entirely at home in intricate

speech packed with figures for an hour
or more without reference to q single
note.
His plotting of the highly contentious
coal mines bill through the last House

friends and foes alike.
Along with most of the other mem
bers of the former Labor cabinet, Mr.
Graham lost his seat in the House in
the last election.

RAIL LINES PLAN
DIRECT DELIVERY
Witness Tells |. c. C. Truck
Lines Driving Carriers
to New Service.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The great Eastern trunk line rail-
roads are preparing to tnaugurate store
door delivery of freight in New York
City to meet the competition OF trucks.
M. w. Clement, operation vice presi-
dent of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
testifying in hearings on the railroad
consolidation case, told Chairman Por-
ter of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission today that the carriers are
practically in agreement as to store door
delivery in New York
I[2 dealt at length with the proposed
fifth Eastern system outlined in the
commissions 1929 consolidation plan
and asserted it was impractical because
it would create circuitous routes and
there would not be enough freight to
support it. His views conceded with
those previously expressed by several
previous witnesses.
Trucks Important Factor.
Since. the origination of the con-
solidation question 10 years ago" SAID
Clement turning from the NTH system
discussion, truck competition has
grown from minor Importance to major
Importance giving complete delivery
from the factory door to the store door.
The railroads to meet that competition
are going to have to do likewise.
The carriers are practically in agree
ment as to store door delivery in New
York. I predict that what happens in
carloads will eventually come TO less
than carload traffic and what happens
in New York will happen throughout
trunk line territory.
The fewer the carriers, the stronger
the carriers, the more nearly equal are
their conditions in the larger cities, the
cheaper and more economically and
more efficiently will store door delivery
be worked out. The more efficiently
and more economically that store door
delivery is worked out the greater the
public benefit"
Disagree ON Extensions.
1t was brought out at yesterdays
hearing that although railroad execu-
tives agree four Eastern systems are
enough, they disagree on extending
these systems into New England. J. j.
Bernet, president of the Chesapeake &
Ohio, and Patrick E. Crowley, until re-
Gently president of the New York Cen
tral, were yesterdays witnesses.
Bernet, on croSs-eXamination by rep
resentatives of New England and
Eastern New York communities, as
serted his company hoped eventually to
enter New England with Maine line.
In this he differed from Daniel Will
lard, president Of the Baltimore 81
Ohio, and W. w. Atterbury, president
of the Pennsylvania. The former had
said he did not want to go into New
England with his lines, while Atterbury
expressed satisfaction with his present
