the milling, shouting crowd of veterans
they were unheard.
In Q written statement which he gave
out last night following publication in
New York of Q report that he had been
punched while guest at a fashionable
Long Island spot last Saturday night,
the Senator said he had been re-
peatedly threatened and warned that
he might be attacked at any time.
He said he did not know his assail-
ants but that he had been trying for
two days Ito find out the persons who
did the ganging."
The attack. he said, occurred in a

Couzens Rumors Denied.
The idea that Senator Couzens would
think for minute of taking the Treas
ury Secretaryship is considered prepos-
ferrous by those closest to him.
He told them all before he recently
went West that he was not fool enough
to bite on anything like that.
The Treasury stories are not
sponsored By administration du-
thorities. No one aside from
newspaper men eDer mentioned
the subject to him before he left
here.
The current talk seems to center
around the fact he gave anti-Hoover
and o-Roosevelt testimony at the
Detroit bank hearing. There is nothing
In that.
Hopes for G. o. p. Comeback.
Couzens' private thoughts about his
future have an entirely different slant.
He would like to see the Republican
party reorganized. He hss no presiden-
tial ambitions himself because he Is
ineligible. He was born in Canada.
However, he would dig down in his
jeans to promote a Republican leader
ship more in keeping with his own
political philosophy.
Those old line Republicans who know
1t are trying to encourage the idea OF
putting him into the Democratic
cabinet.
Unless the Summer heat has warped
his judgment. they will be disappointed.

Moley Runs Magazine
in Opposition to
Al Smith.
By PAUL MALLON.
.HE new Moley magazine will run
in opposition to Al Smith.

TINE new Moley magazine will run
in opposition to AL Smith.
Administration wire pullers
have been worried for weeks
about the color Of the ink how-
ing from AIS crafty pen. They note
he is praising the administration with
faint damns. They fear he may start
raising cain at any moment.
Particularly annoying was his N. r.
A. booster speech. He never mentioned
Roosevelt by name. It was always 1.-THE
President" In an impersonal sort OF
way
And about all he said was: If there
Is an itch of doubt on the back Of your
neck, don't scratch 1t yet-wait."
Completes Public Contacts.
The Moley magazine will tell the
Roosevelt story each week In fairer
terms than AL does in his monthly. It
will complete the string of direct con-
facts Mr.. Roosevelt is carefully estab-
fishing between himself and the people
1t is "the personal political ,Uork"
Dhich Moley Dds to undertake for
the President about September IS"
The date Uds nloped up toeek to
hurry things along, as the story ,Dds
leaking out bit by bit
Gossipers probably will always insist
that Moley was kicked out. His trou-
bles with State Secretary Hull make
it lock that way. Nevertheless that
Is not the way it happened.
Hull Didn't Complain.
The initiative in the affair came from
Moley not Hull. Some other Of Mr.
Roosevelt's advisers made Moley's ten
ure in the State Department more en-
barrassing than Hull made it. Hull
Is telling the absolute truth when he
says he never complained to Mr.. Roose-
welt direct about Moley.
The fact Is Moley promoted another
Job for himself and jumped.
You can bet your last cent he will
continue to be as close to Mr.. Roose-
welt personally as Louis Howe will
permit.
Cabineteers Absent.
The Government is out Of town until
after Labor day.
Even the corridors around the N. r.
A. are empty. Gone or going are:
The President; Cabineteers Woodin,
Hull; Brain Trustees Tugwell, Moley,
Sprague; half the Undersecretaries.
The main idea Is to have every one
get in a vacation before the hectic
Winter starts.
The business angle of it is that
they cannot do much more than
they haze done until they see
hotD September goes.
The signs all indicate the Pres
ident tpill gipe September full
chance before he takes his neGt
step.
Present plans are to conduct a psy-
chology recovery campaign to help the
Fall upturn along. Mr. Roosevelt's
speech Saturday hailing the upward
surge" was only the first step. You

COUzENS' AIDE HITS
@0NE-MAN JURY"
Arthur J. Lacy Criticizes
Taking Of "Hearsay Evil
dence" on Banks.
BY the Associated Press.

DETROIT, August 29-The practice
of the one-man Detroit bank investigat-
ing jury in taking "hearsay evidence
was criticized before the Jury today by
Arthur j. Lacy. personal attorney for
United States Senator James Couzens
Republican. Michigan.
Lacy, declaring such evidence taken
at an open hearing becomes q public
matter and "gossipy thing" declared
he believed the court made an error
In judgment" when it permitted such
action
Sees Regulations Ruined.
TT may ruin the reputation of a
perfectly fine and good man or woman, u
said Lacy. Take the case Of Mrs.
Couzens, wife of the Senator. "A finer
woman does not live Yet the hearsay
statement made here that she had
withdrawn smart money was pub
lshed in the newspapers here without
any amount being mentioned, and the
inference was permitted that she had
withdrawn an enormous sum-"
News gathering associations, said
Lacy, sent the report over all this
country and the whole world, and II
was published in London and Paris
newspapers at q time when she was
accompanying her husband who was
representing this country At an inter-
national conference"
Discussing testimony presented by the
militant Father Charles E. Coughlin,
crusading priest, before the jury last
week, Lacy said:
Take the case Of Peter MONAGHAN
(Attorney and prominent Catholic lay
man mentioned by Father Coughlin a
one doubtful Of escaping Federal In
dictment.") I don't know of finer
Christian gentleman than Peter Mona
CHAN. II any one had heard anything
against him, 1t was q great tragedy
that 1t could not have been presented
secretly to this court and an tnvesti-
CATION made to determine the facts.
Then let the facts speak for them
selves"
To Answer Charges.
Sufficient requests for permission to
testify before Harry B. Keidan were
on file today to indicate the charges
made by witnesses during the past 10
days will not 60 unanswered.
Judge Keidan had requests for ap-
pearancAs from many Of the officials
Of the institutions which have been
assailed by Senator Couzens and Father
Coughlin.
Among those requesting the right to
testify are Wilson w. Mills, former chair
man of the board of the First Ma
tional Bank, Detroit; Clifford B.
Longley. former president Of the
Union Guardian Trust Co.; for
mer Gov. Alex ]. Groesbeck, receiver
for the Guardian Detroit Union group,
of which the Guardian National was q
unit, and William F. Connolly, receiver
for the Detroit Bankers Co., which in
cluded the First National.

international flavor to the tea at the
Summer White House by inviting Prince
Louis Ferdinand, the grandson Of the

Mr.. Roosevelt is willing to talk sta
bilization at a future time but, quite
apparently, he does not consider the
time ripe now. He wants the American
dollar without its gold backing to find
its true level with the currencies Of
other nations. He wants to know If the

SHOTS ARE TRACED
! BY CHEMICAL TEST
Experiments, Imported From
Mexico, Show COnCiusiveIy
Person Who Fired.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, October 81
(NAN.A).-The Milwaukee Police De-
partment, through Chief j. G. Lauben-
heimer. has adopted a new idea III
criminal investigation-an idea that
was brought here by Teodoro Gonzales
assistant director of the Bureau of
Criminal Investigation of Mexico City
Mr.. Gonzales is here to study police
methods
The device has been used in Mexico
City since 1925 and has been found
effective. The only other city in the
United States to establish the test is
Les Angeles. The new idea is a test
by which it can be determined by
physics and chemical analysis whether
a person has recently discharged a
firearm.
The basis of the test is that the
discharge of a shell leaves microscopic
particles of the powder on the skin
of the hands. 1t is contended, Mr.
Gonzales says, and has been proved
in 121 actual cases in Mexico City
experience that the hand of the per-
son who fires weapon contains these
minute particles.
Melted parafin is poured over the
hands. 1t is removed when hard and
submitted to chemical analysis. If the
hand on which the mold is taken has
fired a gun, traces of the nitrate base
of which powder is composed, show up
in the chemical analysis.
Mr. Gonzales told Chief Lauben-
heimer Of the test which was developed
by his superior. Prof. Benjamin Mar
tineZ. Laubenheimer became interested
A number of tests were made and
proved so convincing the chief adopted
the plan.
The tests were made by sending three
or four officers to the police target
range. with instructions that one was
to fire his service revolver. Then
molds were made of the hands of all
and these were submitted to the
chemical test. In each case the iden-
tity of the officer who had fired his
revolver was established
The test will be particularly valu-
able in cases of questionable suicide
If a person shoots himself the test
will reveal the particles of nitrate on
the hands.
