Alfred E. Smith, the Democratic
leader, and Norman H. Davis,
Americas rowing ambassador,
headed a list of distinguished po-
1itical leaders who participated
after the market crash of 1929 in
syndicate operations, partly fl
nanced by the Chase National
Bank, International News Service
learned today.
Some of Smiths associates in
one syndicate were John j. Ras-
kob, former Democratic national
chairman; William F. Kenny, his
bosom friend; and Arthur Leh-
man, banker brother of the pres
ent governor of New York. With
other associates, they borrowed
about $4,000 to finance a syndi-
cate operation that started after
the crash of October, 1929.
The Davis Association
The associates of Davis in a
different syndicate were Harvey
C. Couch, director of the Recon
struction Finance Corporation;
w. w. Atterbury, president of the
Pennsylvania Railroad and for
mer Republican national commit
teeman of Pennsylvania; E. A.
Yates, of The Alabama Power
Company; Roger Caldwell, of
Nashville, Tenn, and Charles S.
Mccain, chairman of the Chase
Securities Corporation.
They borrowed $3,300,00O from
the Chase Bank in early 1880 to
finance their syndicate operations.
Couch participated in a third
syndicate, which borrowed $685.
900 from the Chase Bank in jan
uary, 1880, to operate in Seaboard
Airline bonds.
His associates then were Dillon,
Read & Co., and Coverdale and
ColpittS, New York brokers. Couch
was held on a personal note for
$987 $50 of this loan.
Still Owes 100000
Senate investigators wanted to
know whether these syndicates
were created to help stabilize the
market, to profit on the crashing
of prices, or to hold the market
while the participants unloaded
their personal holdings on an un-
suspecting public.
The Smith syndicate first Dor
rowed $336,000 from the Chase
Bank On November 81, 1929, just a
month after the market crash.
This loan was increased, during
December, 1929, to $779, 900. Sen
ate investigators reported the syn
dictate still owed the bank about
100000.
Nature Withheld
Participants in Smiths syndi-
cate were liable personally for
the loan. They put up a consid-
cradle amount of stock in the
County Trust Company, of New
York city, as collateral. Smith
and Kenny were directors in this
bank.
The syndicate was managed by
Raskob and William H. English.
The nature of it's operations was
not learned.
State investigators probed these
syndicates in order to shed light
on the banking methods employed
by the Chase Bank under the
direction of Albert H. Wiggin, it's
former head.
This evidence will reveal the
first appearance Of Smiths name
in the frenzied financial opera
lions of Wall Street. RaSkob and
Kenny were mentioned in the
past, Raskob coming once to
washington to explain the in
tricate operations of his personal
corporations.

MYSTERY SEEN
IN TODAY'S
TRAGEDY
Mrs. Helen Hill Was Sleeping
On Screen Porch; Inquest
Will Be Held

ANNAPOLIS, July Mrs.
Helen Hill, 80, wife Of John R.
Hill, a salesman, was burned to
death early today in her home
which was destroyed by fire.
Some mystery is attached to
the burning in that Mrs. Hill was
sleeping on the front porch Of
the house from which she could
easily have escaped, if awake.
According to neighbors, Mrs.
Hill retired about 11:30 p. m.
and had expressed her intention
of sleeping on the screened front
porch.
After firemen were called to the
house at 4:30 a. m. today they
found the charred remains of
Mrs. Hill lying by what apparently
was a cot.
Mrs. Hills husband is in New
York but is expected back late to-
day. A coroner's inquest will be
held on his return. Officers are
unable to trace the source of the
fire which was discovered by a
neighbor.
