ager, said today.
Higday pointed out an instance
where 2S men had registered from
31S Second Ave. South. This ad-
dress, a one-time restaurant, has
been vacant for years. 1t is thanked
by an empty lot.
Seven men are known to have reg
istered from one-night "flop- Joint"
on Sixth Ave. A dozen more regis
tered from Japanese restaurant at
TIC Sixth Ave. So. Many other men
gave as their addresses, houses of i'll
fame. Numerous women of the un-
derworld registered under assumed
names, also from these places, some
of which are closed, but not vacant.
This startling exposure of "vote-
racketeering" recalls to mind the
fact that the start of Chicago's un-
rivaled and unbridled election frauds
were begun when "vice-ring" politi-
clans merely winked at the practice
of securing illegal voters to go to
the polls in their behalf.
A heavy protest vote against their
underhanded method of ''vote-buy-
ing" is expected in the Edwards
camp.
"a vote for Edwards will be a
vote against the underworld and va
grant element which is endeavoring
to put into office one of its staunch-
est supporters" declares Mr.. Hig-
day.

THEY'RE BOTH WRONG
]. S.BANK HEADS
MEET HERE

Americas financial situation
was put under the microscope to-
day by the governors Of the IL
Federal Reserve banks, who met
in Washington for the second
time within the last six weeks.
The last gathering authorized
the rapid expansion policy which
in the last five weeks has re-
suited in the release of a half
billion dollars through the pur-
chase of that volume Of Govern
ent securities in the open market.
The governors were expected to
appraise the results of this cam
paign, which has pushed holding
of Government securities to ST.
1886, 600, 900, the maximum in the
history of the Federal Reserve
system. How much longer the
campaign will be continued will
be decided by the bank heads.
When the drive was launched,
the general impression was that
it would last from six to eight
weeks and that from $500, 900, 900
to $1,000 900 in governments"
would be purchased,

BOMBAY, May II G.N.SO.
British troops and Bombay police
fired into rioting Moslem and
Hindu mobs eight times today,

order, bloody warfare between the
native groups continued unabated.
Seven were killed in rioting and
three fell dead before police guns
today, while nearly 20 were in
jured, bringing the total casual
ties of the rioting, now in its
fourth day, to approximately 100
dead and more than TOO wounded.
A curfew order was proclaimed
throughout Bombay, prohibiting
street traffic between 8 p. m. and
6 a. m, and warning anyone ven
turing on the streets will be liable
to be challenged and shot down.
In the mill area the trouble
spread rapidly today. Nearly half
of the 10 mills of the city were
closed.

The quotient of women field

DR.. RYAN ASKS
FOR JOB LOAN

(Continued from Local PGRe)
trend downward. The volume
of business activity is cOnsid-
erabIy smaller today than 1t
was when these credit institu-
tions began to function.
"Tn his address at the an
nuaI meeting of the Associated
Press a few days ago, Secre-
tary Mills declared that credit
and confidence are the ma
gicianS' is significant and, in
deed, appropriate. Confidence
can be useful, but unless it is
based upon specific and definite
economic facts, it is cruel de-
IuSiOn.
COUE ECHOED
Gas it has been preached to
the American people for the
last two years it is the authen-
tic recipe offered by the de-
flated Prof. COue. When Sec
retary Mills relies upon easier
credit to bring about business
recovery he is putting the cart
before the horse. Business men
will not ask for more credit nor
will bankers extend more credit
until they see a probable in
crease in the sale of goods.
"ThiS cannot happen without
an increase in the purchasing
power of the masses. Accord
ing to BradStreet'S the cOuntry's
purchasing power declined 42.7
per cent between August, 1929,
and April, 1882. Here is a Suf-
ficient reason why actual buy
ing has diminished and is still
diminishing. No effective Substi-
tute for purchasing power can
be cOnjured out of the vasty
deep of credit facilities or
credit manipulation.
"The vanished purchasing
power must be recreated. A
huge program of public works
would give employment to and
put purchasing power into the
hands of millions who would
spend it Immediately. Senator
La FOIIette'S bill would provide
for an expenditure of five and
One-haIf billion dollars upon
Federal, State and municipal
public works.
eff it were enacted it would
probably bring about the en-
pIOyment Of two million men
within six months and four or
five million within a year. Stimuli
taneOusIy there would occur a
rise in prices and a healthy
measure of controlled initiation
The money for financing the
enterprise could be obtained
from issues of Federal bonds"

CAPPER URGES
STABILITY BILL

Passage of the Goldsborough
bill to stabilize the purchasing
price of the dollar through action

was urged today by Senator Cap
per CR0 of Kansas in a radio

Capper recommended four points
of a program which should be
enacted Immediately, and before
adjournment. They are:
Make drastic cuts in Govern
ment costs.
Pass a tax bill which will
allow business and all taxpayers
know where they stand in the
matter of taxes next year"
Enact further emergency relief
legislation for present distress and
future industry.
Pass the bill of Representative

MAYOR, COUNCIL
END FIGHT IN
Mt. RAINIER
Sidewalk Row Terminates As
Property Owners Agree to
Give Land to Town

Threat of condemnation ac-
ton against property owners
along Bunker Hill Road, Mt.
Rainier, was dropped last
night by the mayor and town
council when it was announced
that owners had agreed to let
the town have enough land
for it's proposed sidewalk on
the street.
Mayor j. H. Beall was author.
lied to contract with residents
involved for the transfer Of the
land.
Under the terms Of the agree.
ment, it was announced by Bird
H. Dolby, corporation counsel, the
town will lay the sidewalk free of
charge in return for the right OF
way.
Pending investigation of col
lection rates by Councilmen F.
B. Matthias and Rexford Worley,
the town will continue to collect
garbage from stores and restau'
rants, the council decided.
An ordinance prepared by
Dolby governing garbage removal
from stores and restaurants was
deferred until the next meeting
when Matthias and ReXford will
make their report.
The Mt. Rainier volunteer fire
department was congratulated on
it's drill Sunday afternoon. 1t was
also commended by the council
for sending members of the de-
partment to the firemen'S train

Dry Amendment Void
Never Ratified by
States, Is Plea

BALTIMORE, May 1.-THE
Eighteenth Amendment has
never been resubmitted to the
States for ratification, as the
prohibition amendment itself re-
quires in Section 3, hence it is
imperative.
This is the argument in a
demurrer filed yesterday in Fed
eral Court in a prohibition
case. The argument originated
with William Hughes Stokes,
son of the late DR.. William
Royal Stokes, who was chief
Of the bureau of bacteriology
of the health department.
The time limit for resubmit-
ting the amendment to the
States was January II, 1926,
the argument says.
