MILLS DECLARES
BETTER CREDIT
PROGRAM NEEDED

NEW YORK, April 25. U.P>-A
reinvigorated credit structure and
restoration Of national confidence
are "the twin weapons which must
be forged to repel and turn back
the forces of destruction" Secre-
tary of the Treasury Ogden L.
Mills declared today in an address
at the annual luncheon OF the
Associated Press.
What would appear to be re-
quired now is the stimulus Of
credit expansion" Mills said, ex-
planning that this was what the
federal reserve banks were seeking
to provide through their current
program Of releasing funds by
purchasing government securities.
With a gradual restoration of
confidence at home, with greater
stability abroad, with a new bank
ing law increasing the amount of
dispoSable gold the situation is
suspicious for carrying through an
easy money policy as long as it re-
mains under control and does not
develop into uncontrolled in
flation"
Controlled credit eXpancion IS
possible only through the federal
reserve, Mills warned.
Il emphasize this" he said, "tc
bring out the contrast between
controlled expansion of this kind
and pure initiation, such as is in
volved in proposals now before the
congress for printing fiat money
or such as would result ultimately
from series OF unbalanced
budgets"

WITNESS
TO Be HEARD In
HAWAIIAN TRIAL.
Prosecution Alienist To
Clos Case Against Ac-
Cused Four.
BY DAN CAMPBELL
United Press Staff Correspondent

Il
COUR TR loom, HONOLULU
T. l., April 25.-Written reports by
a third prosecution alienist were
ready for the jury today as final
blow to Lieut. Thomas H. Massie' S
claims he was insane when Joe
Kahahawai met violent death.
DR. Joseph Cation of San Fran
cisco was the lone remaining wit
ness to be heard in Hawaii's
greatest murder trial before clos
ing arguments and judges instruc-
tiops send the case to panel of
mixed whites and browns for de-
liberation.
The lengthy Cation report sup
ported testimony Of two preceding
psychiatristS that they believed
Lieutenant Massie was sane
throughout the interview that
ended in Kahahawai's death. 1t
was in direct contradiction to
statements of two defense experts
who said they believed Massie was
temporarily insane and not re-
opOllolOlC lOl IllS dCLS.
With the completion of Doctor
Cations testimony, the stage again
was set for Clarence Darrow. AS
chief defense counsel he will make
the closing plea for Lieutenant
Massie, his society matron mother
in-laW, Mrs. Granville Roland
Fortescue, and two navy enlisted
men, Albert Jones and Edward
Lord
Darrow's whole defense is based
on the claim Lieutenant Massie
was insane, hence no crime was
committed and neither he nor his
co-defendants are responsible for
the Hawaiian's death.
Agile Prosecutor John C. Kelley,
bolstered by the three alienists,
contended Massie calculated the
nature of consequence" of his act,
and therefore, with the others,
was guilty. BY their own admis-
sions, he added, the four con-
spired to kidnap KahahaWai and
he argued this was proof at Least
of manslaughter.
The four are under indictment
on second degree murder charges
for the alleged Staying Of Kahaha-
wal in retaliation for an attack Oil

navy officers young wife.

AT H0LTVILLE
FAVORS BOARD

Presentation of facts and figures
concerning the Imperial Irrigation
district took place at the mass
meeting at Holtville Saturday night
when more than 500 persons re-
Sponded to the call of the Holtville

merce to express confidence in di-
rectors and officers of the district.
Those assembled passed a resolu-
ton of confidence in the board
When rising vote was taken,
those favoring the resolution num-
bered almost the entire attendance
Report was made by a special
committee appointed by the cham
Der of commerce to investigate dis
trict affairs. The report showed
the retrenchment made since early
in the year 1880 and a downward
trend in salary expenditures since
that time. Statistics as to the de-
crease in the Mexican income also
were included in the report.
F.. A. Willard, president of the
Holtville Ice and Cold Storage
company, presided and expressed
the opinion that it would be wise
for all taxpayers to pay their as
.SeSSmentS as soon as possible to
affirm their faith in the directors
and Officers.
County Supervisor Dave Vencill,
president of the Holtville National
bank, said the best solution to pres
ent problems was to pay taxes as
he was of the conviction facts did
not justify accusation made against
officers and directors of the dis
trict.
Several ranchers also spoke dur
ing the evening, most of the time,
however, being devoted to reading
of facts and figures of district
management and expenditures.
There were no demonstrations of
any kind during the evening.

NEW CURRENCY
EXPERIMENT NOT
MEETING FAVOR

WASHINGTON, April 25. U.P)-
Experiments with new currency
such as is proposed in the $4,000
900 soldiers bonus bill would en-
danger the credit of industry, the
house ways and means committee
was told today.
James A. Emery counsel for the
National Manufacturers association,
made that assertion in appearing
in opposition to the Patman SOL
diers' bonus bill.
Industry is drifting in a flood
of political uncertainty Emery
said. Action by congress is needed
if industry is to stop drifting, es-
pecially action on the tax bill"
Emery said "the whole history
of paper currency shauld be
warning at this time" He at
tackled the bill "as dangerous infla-
toin which eats at the roots of our
credit"
Your policy as I understand it
is one of standpatism, said Rep
resentatiye Hill, Democrat, Wash
ington.
by no means; I stand only for
national control OF our currency"
Emery answered.
Representative Vinson (Dem)
Georgia, said the federal reserve
board had adopted a currency ex-
pansion policy and asked Emery
for his opinion on such a policy.
81 do not know that is being
done replied Emery.
George D. Evans. Philadelphia,
proposed az an alternative TO the
bonus measure, the Evans plan"
which would have the federal gov
ernment hire all unemployed at
from $l8 to $50 week.

ployed," Evans said.

Chairman Norbeck of the COM
mittee announced after a two hour
secret session Of the committee that
he had been authorized to appoint
the board or steering committee
and that it would meet tomorrow
to decide the matter of future pro-
cedure and the employment of ad-
ditional investigators and counsel.

SO far undisclosed. 1t is expected,
however, that Thomas E. Bragg

tion is to see whether the American
buyer and seller has fair mar
ket," said Chairman Norbeck, "or
whether it is rigged against him,
