Police Chief
Spurns Gold
For Bond

FAIRFIELD, Conn.,, Sept. %
0.N.SO.-Police Chief Edward
j. Flanagan is taking no chance
of being labeled a gold hoarder.
George Whitney. jr., rendered
him a $40 gold piece as bond
when arrested for speeding.
The son of the partner in j. P.
Morgan g. Co. said it was gift
and he was entitled to have it
under the law.
Flanagan accepted it, but
then got to wondering whether
he was entitled to retain it.
So he ducked the issue by
writing to young whitney and
demanding he send a check to
be posted as bond.

BRONX Staying
BLAMED ON
SCARN|C|
Letter Found in Apartment
of Coils Widow Secretly
Struggled From Prison

NEW YORK, Sept. % GN.S).
Three more murders, the ruthless
notwithstanding of two men and
a woman in an apartment in the
Bronx in February, 1882, were
attributed today to Leonard Scar
nici.
This new accusation against the
alleged leader of the O'Connell
kidnapping gang was made an
onymouSly by an inmate of Clin-
ton Prison at Danemore in
letter smuggled secretly from be-
hind the gray walls.
Coll Also a Victim
The letter was discovered bv
police in a raid on the apartment
of Lottie Coll, widow of Vincent
Mad Dog Coll, who met his
death in blast of machine gun
fire in a drug store.
Coll also is believed to have
been victim of Scarnici's relent.
less murder lust.
Bullets taken from his body
and from the bodies of the Bronx
murder victims were to be com.
pared today with slugs fired from
the machine gun seized in Scar
nicIS arsenal at Mt. Kisco when
he was rounded up with four
other men and two women for
the O'Connell kidnapping.
Those moved down in the
Bronx killing were Pasquale de
Greco, 40. Florio Bastile, 43, and
Emily Tonallo. 43, the Bronx.
Oral Confession
The two men, according to
police records, we're associated
with Coll and in the Mad Dogs
war with the Dutch Schultz gang.
AS Scarnici's murder list grew
it was learned that he will face
still another accuser today, Mrs.
Margaret Wilson, of Agawam,
Mass. whose son, Frank Wilson,
was buried alive in a shallow
grave near AgaWam in 1927.
Mrs. Wilson will level an ac-
cusing finger at the 27-year- old
slayer in the office of Capt. Rich
ard Oliver. in charge of the
"under-cover" squad who engi-
neered the capture of the gang.
Mrs. Wilson said: - -~:
"He told me he killed my
frankie on the orders of .
big Boston gangster."
She showed six-year-old news
paper clippings indicating that
Scarnici had orally confessed this
particular torture murder and
then was released after refusing
to sign written confession.
In Score of Crimes
Awaiting the arrival of warrants
from upstate, charging three OF
the gang with robbery of a Rens-
selaer IN. " bank and the mur-
der of a detective, and Albany
bench warrants naming the gang
leader and. one confederate as the
kidnapers of O'Connell, police
were to arraign Scarnici and six
companions for robbery of an up
town New York bank late today.
Police said they were confident
of proving Scarnici, Anthony
Reino and Charles Herzog were
involved in the Rensselaer, holdup
and murder. Scarnici, according
to police, has admitted at least
five other killings and can be
connected with as many more.
The other male prisoners, Philip
ziegler and Fred Plentl, will be
tied in with a score of robberies
and bank holdups, authorities
said.

FROZEN BANKS
To GET MORE
j. 8, HELP
Cotton Price Also to Be
Pegged in Roosevelt Plan
to Expand Credit

President Roosevelt today en-
barked upon a bold credit expan-
sion program, embracing relief
to both open and closed banks,
and a giant cotton price-pegging
operation based on Federal loans
to growers of 10 cents pound
on their 1888 product.
The banking program will begin
with Federal moves to thaw out
assets of banks open and solvent
but not liquid.
After that will come a compre-
hensive plan for the relief of de-
positorS in closed banks.
COnfers With WOOdin
Mr.. Roosevelt will put the fin
ishing touches to the move in be-
half of solvent but nonliquid banks
in a series of conferences with
Secretary of the Treasury William
H. Woodin over the week end.
The relief plan for closed bank
depositors will get under way i'm
mediately thereafter.
There was a possibility that the
President would have both schemes
ready for operation before he
leaves here next Tuesday for his
Hyde Park home in New York
State.
In the case of banks open but
with assets Frozen" and conse-
quently in a condition of solvency
but not liquidity, local communi-
ties will be asked to provide some
capital.
When the communities have
done their part, the Federal Gov
ernment will see to it that addi-
tional capital is provided through
the Reconstruction Finance Cor.
poration.
The new banking plan an
nouncements came as the climax
to a series of conferences between
the President and his finance
chiefs during the past 10 days.
Jesse Jones, chairman of the
r. F. c., was one Of those most
frequently called to the White
House during the negotiations.
Others were Woodin and Treasury
officials, Eugene Black, governor
of the Federal Reserve Board;
and Lewis Douglas, director of the
budget.
The banking plans are all part
of a program preliminary to op-
Grafton of the bank deposit guar
antee provision of the Glass
banking act, which becomes op-
erative the firjt of the year. The
President and his finance aides
plan material strengthening Of
the national banking structure
prior to operation of this scheme.
The cotton program marked
the beginning of long term
surplus reduction plan, but was
designed also as an emergency
move to send prices up. Mr..
Roosevelt in announcing he had
approved the cotton program in
principle, fixed no limitation
whatever on the total of the
loans.
Half Billion Involved
With more than 100000 bales
of 1888 cotton still in the hands
of the growers, loans of 10 cents
a pound on the total crop would
involve nearly half a billion dol
lars. All loans to growers will be
made contingent upon agreement
to a production curtailment pro-
gram next year.
All of the newly announced
broad program was interpreted
here as Mr.. Roosevelt's immediate
answer to increasing demands for
currency initiation.
Obviously, the Executive has
sought to avoid use of the printing
presses, and hopes by broad ex-
pansion of credits along all fronts
to send commodity prices upward
and thus increase the purchasing
power of the people.

BUTTE EMPLOYERS OFFER Plan
r. r. A ADOPTS
POLICY DESIGNED TO
RAILROADS

Denying four applications for GER
tificates authorizing truckers to OPP
crate between points served by
railroads, the Montana railroad COM
mission, Monday, laid down a policy
which it indicated it would follow, for
some time at least, in deciding sim
liar petitions in the future.
"Any action which will tend to i'm
pair the financial stability of our rail
carriers and so reduce the quality of
their services and the proper main
tenance Of their properties" the COM
mission said, would reflect upon the
normal progress of our state and the
general welfare of its people,
The unsuccessful applicants we're:
w. M. Daniels of Butte, to truck be-
tween Butte and Dillon; G. J. Hea-
low Of Butte, between Butte and Bill
lings, via Bozeman, Livingston and
Columbus; W. M. Daniels, between
Butte and Missoula, via Deer Lodge,
westbound, and Philipsburg, east
bound; R. L. Kit of Missoula, be-
tween Missoula and Butte, via Deer
Lodge.
The commission said railroads pay
81 per cent of all taxes collected in
Montana and employ a large num-
Der Of men, adding that these con-
ditions have a "direct bearing" on
the policy the commission adopted.
Butte Truck Association TO Appeal.
The Butte Truck Association with
the assistance of the "Ship by truck
Club" which is composed of the sew
eral merchants Of Butte and all the
independent truck operators, having
a membership of 1000 are forming
plans to appeal the decision of the
Montana Railroad Commission in re-
gard to the above decision.
The Club as we'll as the Truckers
Association believe that the decision
is discriminatory in denying these
several certificates for interstate
commerce, when interstate trucker;
can come into the state, county ant
city, whereas the local truckers who
support the state, county and the city
hire union help, pay good wages anC
taxes and are not permitted to op.
crate over the Montana public high,
ways which they help support anC
maintain.

OPERATIONS TO
RESUME AT
ARDSLEY BUTTE

The Ardsley-Butte Mines Corpor-
alton has the distinction of being the
first company to announce the re-
sumption of operations in the Butte
territory. In an interview with L. 0.
Goodman, president of that company.
Mr.. Goodman stated that the officials
of the company were confident that
metal prices, and silver in particular,
would from now on show a steady re-
covery to normal levels. The ad-
vance in the price of silver will be of
great benefit to the Ardsley-Butte
Mines Corporation as the Highland
Mine was among the leading pro-
dueers of silver in 1928 and 1929
prior to the drop in the price of that
metal. Mr.. Frank McNulty, one of
the states well known mine man
ayers and operators, will have full
charge of the management and OPP
GRAFTON of the Highland mine.
Mr.. Goodman further stated that
other mining properties in which he
was interested would soon be placed
back in operation. The next prop
erty to be placed in production to be
the Washington Bar Gold Mining
Company and it is expected a large
crew Of men will be put to work at
this property within the next ten
days or two weeks.
Mr.. Goodman stated that he was
confident that conditions throughout
the country were on the upgrade and
that within the next two or three
months conditions would be greatly
improved, stating that a plan was
now being formulated whereby a
minimum of 100000 men would be
put back to work in the near future.
This plan is being worked out by the
committee for the Nation to Rebuild
Prices and Purchasing Power, of
New York City, and has as it's men,
bers some of the best known men Of
the country and employers of millions
Of people. Mr.. Goodman is one of
the advisory members of the commit
tee and it should be gratifying t. the
people Of Butte to learn of this work
that will greatly assist in bringing
back normal conditions throughout
the country.

sons employed in the city creamer-
les which is less than 33 1-3 per cent
of those employed in normal times.
Mr.. Wood also spoke on the compe-
tition the city creameries have to deal
with and the wages paid by these
competitors.
Mr.. Willard Thompson stated that
there is nothing more injurious to
this community than the view that
some one is trying to take advantage
Of the other side. Mr.. Thompson
stated that he was not representing
the Chamber of Commerce at this
meeting but the Employers Assoeia-
ton, and expressed the wish to get
better acquainted.
Mr.. Ray Ruhle stated that he
would do all he could to help get to-
gether on common ground, that al
though the employer and labor each
have their own problems and these
problems could not all be handled in
the same way, these problems should
be mutually discussed Mr.. Ruhle
stated that the Employers Associa-
ton were ready to cooperate at any
time.
Mr.. Nepper in closing the remarks
of the committee thanked the dele
gates of the various unions for listen
ing to the speakers and stated that
he brought the greetings of the
Builders Exchange to the Council.
At this time President Malloy call
ed upon representatives of the Allied
Printing Trades Council who had re-
quested an opportunity to address the
meeting.
E. A. Ericsson and W. J.. Moran
spoke on the Monograph and multi
graph advertising, that the printers
and their employees had been work
ing together in trying to stop out-of-
town printing.
The committee stated that the So
luton to many of these problems now
confronting both business and labor
is not cooperation but reciprocity.
Upon adjournment of the meeting
President Malloy thanked the com.
mittee of the Builders Exchange anC
the Employers Association for com
ing up and addressing the join coun-
ellis.

LOCAL SCHOOL
ARE
TO BE FIRED
Every Teacher of Butte School Dis
trict Number One is to Receive
Notice That Contract VIII Not Be
Renewed. Rehire Those Desired at
Lower Salaries.

Every teacher in the Butte public
schools is slated to receive notice that
the existing contract is terminated
at the present school year. This was
the notice given at the regular meet
ing Tuesday in the form of a resolu-
ton which will be acted upon at an
open meeting Thursday evening.
1t is expected that this will elm
mate all present contracts between
the board and the teaching force. 1t
will be followed by a general house
cleaning, with contracts to be renew
ed at new and lower salaries, more
in keeping with the decreased budget.
The general house cleaning will
wipe the slate of all entangling all
liances of former administrations and
will start the entire school corps
with a new deal.
1t will not be surprising to the La
Dor News to see Jess Ragsdale reap
pointed in his present position with
a new contract, instead of the changes
recommended by the last administra-
ton.

TRAVELLING BY
AIRPLANE

Air transportation is continuing to
forge ahead regardless of business
conditions, according to National
Parks Always. although this dis
trict is probably as severely affect
ed by the present situation as any in
the United States, it has continued
to use the same amount of air mail
that it did before postal rates were
increased" says the company. "This
extensive use for both business and
social correspondence demonstrates
the value of air mail, particularly to
this district far removed as it is from
the populous centers of the United
States.
Passenger travel and air express
have done much better than hold their
own. Travel has increased 26 per
cent over the first quarter of last
year and air express is far ahead of
the same period in 1882. 1t can be
imagined what an increased business
in all of these lines will result from
the return of normal conditions and
the lowering of the air mail rate to
the same relative position with regu-
lar mail which it formerly occupied.
Increased safety of air travel as
demonstrated by the record of the
scheduled air transport lines during
1882 and the many improved aids to
aid transportation are having a dis
tinct effect on the minds of the pub
lie with relation to air transporta-
ton. The increased use being made
of the air is distinct proof Of this
