LA CUARDIA WILL SEEK POWERS OF.
 THE PRESIDENT
Asks Legislature to Give Him Free Hand in
 Smashing Things

New York, Dec May . or-eIect Fiorello H. La Guardia faced with a budgetary crisis when he assumes office January 1st, was to reveal today the text of an emergency bill investing him with economy powers similar to those granted President Roosevelt by the federal economy act.
 The bill, to be presented to the legislature as an emergency meas ure, would give the mayor power to slash salaries and abolish jobs Under it's mandate, he would have almost Q free hand in the matter of the budget, estimated to be as much as $40,00O,000 out of bal- ance.
 We must get relief immediate iy from the legislature and the only thing to do is to get the power needed to balance the budget" La Guardia said. Otherwise I dread to contemplate what will h,ppen.
 Its this or financial chaos" he added. '"rhe budget must be bal ,anced, and major operation is necessary to do it."
 Approximately $23,000,O00 of the reported bldget deficit was due to the failure of Tammany to include that amount in the budget as re- serve fund to meet tax deficiencies The reserve fund was an integral part of the financial agreement reached last fall by officials and the city's bankers, who agreed to relieve the city of it's pressing fi- nancial obligations in return for virtual control over tax collections curing the next four years.

Some Issues Stood Out Strong in the Market To-day
William Shakespeare Was a FrenchmanS SdyParis Critics

One Louis Dupois, it is asserted, was Jacques Piefre's schoolmaster. Dupois spoke English with facility, and, a poet at heart, encouraged the boys gift.
 Jacques Pierre was drafted into the Bourbon religious wars when he was 2s, and passes from the story.
 The story goes on that Dupois preserved all the plays Jacques wrote-Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet. Macbeth, the Merchant of Venice. Otheilo and the rest, along with the sonnets. He took them to London, 1t seems, and then on to Hatfield, a hamlet in Hertfordshire, where be- tween 1899 and 1908. apparently getting on to an overripe old age, he became a schoolmaster.
 Thirty years later, it is said, some English opportunist found the man. uscripts and appropriated them. turning the name of the author into Shakespeare and gave it a civilian" prefix.
 It Is carefully explained that The Tempest was not among the play because it was written by Francis Bacon.

BABY PRINCE OF
 JAPAN IS NAMED
Bright and MagnanimOus Prince of the Realm
 Is Translation

Tokio, Dec 29.-(UP)-Thc in- fant son of Emperor Hirohito and Empress Nagako, born week ago, today was given the name of Aki- hito Tsugu-N -Niya, which freely translated means bright and mag unanimous price of the realm.''
 The emperor chose the name for his first son from the list sub- mitted by the ritualists just q week after the birth in accordance with the ancient Shinto rites.
 The royal father wrote the se- lected name on block of white wood which the grand chamber lain carried to the infants crib for his approval"
 The selection next was proclaim ed to a crowd which had gathered near the medieval imperial castle for the announcement. They cheered the emperor's choice of Akihito as the personal name and Tsugu-No-Miya as the house name of the child.

ertheless, it was clear that the temperature at o'clock this morn- ing was much lower than it was yesterday at the same hour. The colder point was reached during the early, dark hours of yesterday morning while the mercury was slower in dropping today.
 The weather man promises cloudy weather for tonight and possibly snow fov tomorrow. This is taken to indicate that the mer- cury will rise late today in the thermometer and bring relief to the city as whole.
 As was the case yesterday, men working on outside jobs toiled un- der very adverse conditions. They were forced to slow up due to the intense cold. Auto owners con- tinued to suffer many inconven- fences and service stations were swamped with calls for assistance from stalled motorists. The l plumbers were busy today at top speed. also. answering an ava Ianche of calls from houses where pipes had frozen.
 During the past two nights and days the consumption of fuel for heating purposes has been at the tip-top point. So far. that is up to early this afternoon, no deaths had been reported which were di- rectly due to the cold snap. This is taken to speak well for the var ! ious local relief agencies who have been doing their utmost to keep the needy in the necessary warmth to prevent fatalities.

for those in actual distress, but indications are that too much eX- ravagance and waste is committed in the name of charity. Many state and municipal relief problems have been left on the federal doorstep and the treasury is being drained for funds that should be provided by local sources. Not only is this a most unhealthy situation, as 1t breaks down the spirit of initia- tive and responsibility of individ- ual commounities, but 1t also im- poses crushing burden upon the federal treasury, which must eventually be paid for through tax ation By all classes of the popula- tion. Although part of the funds that are being expended for relief and for the stimulation of business will be recovered in the course of time, this amount is likely to be disappointingly small.
 While the segregation of emer- gency and ordinary expenditures may be justified at this time we should not overlook the fact that the Fundamental principles of ac- counting remain the same, that
 
 not met out of revenues add to the debt and must be paid for out of taxes. In the meantime, the pil- ling up of public debt with no des- ignated official upper limit i'm poses severe strain upon federal credit and jeopardizes the market notonly for government obliga- tions but also long-term credits for private enterprise and thus hin- ders the natural forces working for recovery. Moreover, there is real danger that many of these projects will not only entail permanent charges but necessitate the mainte- nance as well of a huge bu- that will encroach upon and deaden private enterprise and saddle the country with excessive burdens.
 "A country is subject to the same laws of. credit as that of q or an individual. The nation must before long demon- strate its ability to live within its income so that there may be a basis for the restoration of con- tidence, which is the key to eco- homie recovery. In order to place the government financing on a sound basis, higher taxes will be The taxpayers of the country will, when they under stand the situation. assume the greater burdens necessary, but they feel they have the right to insist that the vast public expen- ditures should be spent wisely, without waste or extravagance.
 An impregnable federal credit. is essential for recovery, for the maintenance of sound money, as well as for national solvency. Without 1t, uncertainty and con- fusion will continue, and stabiliza- ton of our currency wli lbe impos- sible. The credit of the United States is still sound. With our re- sources we can support the pres- ent debt structure. bu tthe brakes on increasing expenditures must be applied. Otherwise. we run the danger of the situation getting be- yond control"

as merchants. They sent in tele- phone calls and had women call up and made inquiries. Strange to say Caiazzo answered the calls. He made slip-up on one of the calls and the police were positive that they had their quarry trapped. To- ward noon hour the fugitive be- came suspicious and refused to open the door.
 Becoming tired of the delay the dicks drew their guns and threatened to smash in the door. Sergeant Johnson held his detec- tive shield close to window to show Caiazzo that it was the police and not gangsters calling for him. By chance the hunted man spotted Lieutenant Christy and recognized him and surrendered.
 It is expected that Caiazzo would sleep tonight in the Hoboken po- lice headquarters.

Sound ndMoneyDepends
 On National Credit
First National Bank of Boston Sees Grave Danger in
 Colossal Spending of Public Funds

Boston, Dec 29-"It is impera- tive that the nation follow policies that will make sound money pos sible." says the First National bank of Boston in it's New England letter. "The Fundamental requisite for sound money is the preserva- ton of our national credit, with the establishment of a definite pro- gram whereby total expenditures will be brought within revenues. If colossal spending of public funds continues, We run the risk not only of seriously retarding bus tness recovery and of impairing federal credit, but inevitably paw Ing the way for uncontrolled infia- ton.
 "The federal debt has increased from slightly over $16,00O, ,000, 900 at the end of the fiscal year June 30. 1880, to over $23,800, 900, 900 on December 20, 1883, and it is es- timated that at the end of the governments fiscal year it will closely approximate $27,00O.0 .00O,- 900, an amount exceeding even the peak year of 1919. Our debt bur den shows a stupendous increase since before the war. On n per capita basis the federal debt is now about $190 as against SIP in 1913. On the other hand, per capita income for this year will be in the neighborhood of $36O as against $342 in the pre-war year. In other words, while our national income is but slightly above that of 1913, the federal debt is nearly sixteen times as great. Federal ex- penditures for the next fiscal year are estimated at more than S6,- 900, 100000. It was not until 1914 that our total annual expenditures amounted to $1,OOO,OOO,0OO. wherc- us our interest charges on the pub lie debt alone will at the rate we are going reach that sum before very long. If state and munich pal obligations are included, the aggregate public rebt of the nation approximates .$41,O00, 900 900, or $330 per capita, while total gov crnment costs are in the neighbor- hood of $17,0O0, 1000, or $13G per capita.
 "A rapidly mounting public debt. unless checked, leads inevitably down the slippery road to imitation and disaster. Recent history af- 1ords ample proof of this in the postwar experience of France and Germany. In both of these coun- tries the government officials re- fused to face realities by balancing the budget through reduction in expenditures and increased taxa tion. Instead they turned to bor- rowing from the central bank un- til government credit was weak ened to such an extent that the panic-stricken public converted cash into commodities and other tangibles. The accompanying sharp advance ir- prices made the prob lem of government financing in- creasingly difficult as revenues legged hopelessly behind rising costs. The only alternative was to run the printing press. It was the tragic experience of these countries to which President
 ocsese;t svidently referred in his taAus uFal address when he said, " Ac often in recent history lib-
 1at Eovernments have been

 Paris. Dec 29-William Shakes peare, who has been called q TO- tarian at heart and an animate pen name for Elizabethan playwrights, was hailed today as 0 Frenchman, whose real name was Jacques Pierre.
 Researches provoked by the cur rent Shakespeare season at the gov ernment controlled Odeon theater and the Mohtmartre, where Rich- ard II is playing, have convinced some scholars of the bard of Avon that he was Normandy peasant.
 In 1861, it seems, peasant lad of the hamlet of St Elaire in Nor mandy, once occupied by the Eng fish, annoyed parents by writing verse instead of arithmetic. His name was Jacques Pierre.
 Even in his childhood he would start out to write numbers and turn out such things as: "One, two three.
 Woe is me-"
 He went on from there, according records by the Jacques. Pierre school of Shakespearan scholars.

Boston, Dec 29-(U. .)-Twelvt Suffolk County jurors, barred from further jury service because they acquitted two South Boston gang sters of a charge of murderous as- sault on a policeman, to-day plan- ned an ::indignation meeting" and legal steps against the ban. Dis cussing their action in freeing Ste phen J. Wallace, leader of the mo- torious Gustin gang, and Francis P. Sullivan, who were charged with participating in q mass assault on Patrolman Daniel J. Mcdonald, the jurors declared that the prose- cution had failed to establish its case beyond a reasonable doubt One juror, Saul s. Livingston of Chelsea, was quoted as saying:
 "The case wasn't prosecuted as it should have been. If it had been on the level, it wouldn't have been difficult to convict" District At torney William J. Foley's office termed the charge preposterous and said the only possible explana- tion of it was that the juror had been mlSled Dy reason or eXcluSlOn of certain testimony by the rules ot evidence.

changed by the mob" as the Ho- boken police referred to the gang.
 It was learned from the visiting detectives this afternoon that two other members of the gang are under arrest and that a third is expected within few hours. The battle was over the alleged failure of Matteo to make good rubber" check for $500 which he had given to CaiaZzo and some of his pals. Matteo was given five hours in which to make good but failed and the committee of ways and means" visited him with fatal re- suits.
 Caiazzo claims to have been born on Chatfield avenue, this city. Let ters found in his pockets indicate that he is well known to would-be bootleggers and wine merchants. He isf married and has four chill dren. His wife is the daughter of a former Cairo county innkeeper, familiar with all the. activities of the gangs that made New York state battle-ground for years.
 The Hoboken police claim that the former local man has no po- lice record as far as they know. but that a check-up will be made at once. The Waterbury police know of Caiazzo and some of his local pals.
 Lieutenants Christy and Scott and Sergeants Winters and Key holds hot on the pursuit of Caiaz- 70 arrived here late yesterday aft ernoon and picked up Sergeant Henry Johnson and Detective Jos cph Bender for the closing lap of the man-hunt. Caiazzo this after noon laughed at the cops and told them that he knew they were on his trail, but he thought he had them when he vanished from his hiding place at Coney Island.
 Following visits to certain sus- pected hang-outs in various parts of the city the Hoboken detectives closed in on 157 Waterville street shortly before midnight last even- ing. They had the ''hunch' that, Caiazzo was at home. but fearing to modest other tenants waited un- til this morning.
