ing his organization to be "baited here
under the cloak of testifying on the
Davis-Kelly bill"
He said Clark in his own testimony
had said the operators themselves vio-
lated an agreement with the mine
workers.
We have repudiated no contracts" :"
replied Clark blnntly The gentleman
states something that isn't fact"
Chairman Hatfield Republican, West
Vlrg1nia) allowed Clark to go on with
his statement.

FRANCE HAS FIRM
GRIP ON BOURSE
Watches Trading Closer
Than Any Other Major
Power.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 3.-Critics Of the
Stock Exchange, who urge more rigid
control Of dealings in listed securities,
find an interesting example of strict
governmental regulation in the Paris
Bourse.
The French government, international
bankers explain. probably has a frmer
grip on security trading than the gov
ernment of any other, major power. In
fact, some banker say that, because of
the intimacy of this control, 1t Is diff
cult to judge whether all French finan-
cial operations are based entirely upon
economic conditions or are tinctured
with political purpose.
1t is also pointed out that compari-
sons between the Paris and New York
markets are difficult, because in the
French capital sales amount to only a
fraction Of those on the big American
board. Members of the Bourse number
only 10, whereas on the New York Ex-
change they total more than 1850.
Agency Regulates Trading.
The Bourse members have an asso-
ciation known as the Chambre Syndi-
sale or purchase of securities pasSE
through its hands. 1t regulates trading
and determines prices at which securi-
ties may be transferred. II the mem
bers feel short selling is getting out of
hand, they stop it. II they feel a for
eign government should not receive the
benefit of French credit, they may re-
fuse to permit trading in the bonds Of
that government.
The Paris Bourse is the third largest
financial mechanism in he world. Un-
like other similar markets, however,
official stock brokers are appointed by
the President of France and have the
status of public officials.
The Bourse Association Is closely
supervised by the French government
and all its members are responsible
for the liabilities of each member.
Requirements for membership are un-
usually strict.
Must Serve Probation Period.
All must serve a period Of probation
and take cath as public officials. They
must also post bond of 250,000 gold
francs. They may have silent partners
who participate in all profits, but these
are subject to losses up to the amount
of their capital investments. The mem

at least one-fourth of the amount rep
resenting the price Of his membership
and of his bond.
Bourse members cannot deal per-
sonally in securities or have any cap
ital invested in outside business ven
lures. Neither are they allowed to give
advice on buying or selling, nor can
they establish branch Offices.
The Bourse Association can order
that certain securities be dealt in for
cash only, although the normal margin
rate is 25 per cent of the quoted price.
In addition, the bourse has a 15-day
settlement rule, which compels all
transactions to be cleaned up twice q
month. Under this regulation short
sellers are obliged to go into the mar
ket and purchase for delivery once
every Is days.

would be started early tonight.
Meanwhile, the notorious Capone
spoke his mind.

said in his cell when news Of the Su-
preme Courts action was received. Il m

tence should have been 2l2 years, but
lust because went to a few base ball
games they made it II years. I'm still
willing to fight it if my lawyers are
with me"
The short sentence Capone referred
to was reported to have been recon-
mended by Federal prosecutors in con-
sideration of Capone's plea OF guilty,
which he subsequently withdrew when
Judge James H. Wilkerson declined to
be bound by any agreement. That was
last Summer. In october Capone went
on trial and was convicted. Ever since
then he has been held in the county
jail. while his attorneys have fought
through the courts all the way to the
highest in the land in an effort to set
aside the conviction.
Capone's mother was with him when
refused to see newspaper men, but jail
attaches said he was furious.
Cohorts In Leavenworth.
II Capone goes to Leavenworth, he
will be in the same prison with his
reputed business manager" Jake Guzik,
Who Is doing time" also as an income
tax law violator Records Of financial
transactions Capone is alleged to have
had with Guzik were brought into Ca
pone's trial and helped bring about his
conviction. Domenico Roberts, liquor
dealer and Capone ally, convicted Of
violating the immigration laws, was SEN
fenced to Jeavenworth yesterday.
Frank Nitti, reputed "enforcer" of the
Capone gang, recently finished his sem
tence for income tax violation and re-
turned to Chicago.
Federal officials said there would be
no special favors for Capone either in
prison or en- route. With him they
planned TO take II other Federal pris-
oners convicted of various offenses-
narcotic smuggling, bootlegging, coun-
terfeiting. Mann act violations and
others.
The Appellate Court vacated its su-
persedeas writ after it had received a
certified copy Of the United States ST.
preme Courts decision yesterday, re-
fusing to review Capone's case.
A mittimus ordering Capone to pris-
on was then made out, and 1t was ex-
pected that he would be started for
Lesvenworth, Kans., within "a hours.
Marshal Laubenheimer kept his plans
for the prison trip secret. saying he
