Other recommendations includ-
ed:

Enactment of the child labor

Impartial and rigid enforce
ment of the immigration laws.
Development of national eco
nomic planning, directly aimed at
the raising Of standards Of living.
Dismissal Wages
The Federal Government should
set an example to other en-

of which a dismissal wage should
be paid to those dropped from
the service.
Creation of a Federal agency

The action of the pardons
board swept away one Of the last
legal barriers to her execution,
April 81, for the Staying of her two
nurse friends, Agnes Anne Leroi
and Hedvig Samuelson, whose dis
membered bodies were shipped in
trunks from Phoenix to Los
Angeles.
Meanwhile in Los Angeles, Ar
thur C. Verge, her counsel, an
nounced plans for an appeal to
the United States Supreme Court.
Threatens To Kill Self
Mrs. Judd's overwrought con-
dition caused deep concern to
both prison officials and lawyers.
At the hearing when charges
against j. j. CHappy Jack) Halo,
ran, accused of being her accom-.
plice, were dismissed, Mrs. Judd
asserted that she would end her
own life in preference to dying
on the gallows.
The pardon board, in its $500
word decision, placed emphasis on
the story of a 12-year-old school
girl, Phoebe Reed, that Mrs. Judd
was at the murder apartment on
the afternoon after the tragedy,
contrary to her assertions.

SENATORS MEET
ROOSEVELT IN
FARM PARLEY
Committee Called to Confab
This Afternoon; Currency
Initiation Favored

President Roosevelt invited the
Senate Agriculture Committee to
the White House today to clear
all controversy and speed enact
ment of the Administrations
farm relief bill.
The President will be asked to
approve the committees action
in taking from the Secretary OF
Agriculture the proposed power
to fluctuate taxes upon basic agri-
cultural commodities in an effort
to increase prices on farm prod
ucts.
This provision was recon-
mended bye the Administration,
but was stricken from the bill
by the committee.
The President will be asked to
say whether he desires peanuts,
flax and oats included in the bill.
Initiation Approved
Meanwhile the committee ap-
proved a policy of initiating the
currency. 1t voted unanimously
to instruct Senator Thomas CD
of Oklahoma to draft a section
of the committees report touch
ing on the currency. He was di-
rected to say the committee rec
commended the currency must be
expanded to bring prosperity
back to the farms and that all
other measures would be tenn
porary expedients.
The committee will visit the
White House at 4:45 this after
noon to hear the President give
his views.
McAdOO Lends a Hand
New mortgage relief provisions
were being drafted by Henry
Morgenthau, jr., chairman of the
Federal Farm Credit Administra-
ton; Senator McAdoo CD of
California, a former Secretary OF
the Treasury; Senator Bankhead
Cd of Alabama, and other
Administration officials.
The conferees were in accord
over the principle of extending
Federal aid to mortgaged farmers
but were divided over the method
of furnishing relief.
The Senatorial delegation sup
ported the McAdoo plan for Great
ing a new central Federal or
ganization to refinance farm
mortgages. Morgenthau was said
to favor use of the Federal
Reserve System.
Controversy Over Interest
There also was disagreement
over the rate of interest to be
charged on the Government
funds.
The McAdoo plan, which the
California Senator sponsored as
a bill several days ago, would
set up a United States mortgage
bank with a capital stock of
$50.000,000 to be paid by the
Treasury.
The President would be en-
powered to coordinate in the
bank all other Federal bureaus
or agencies dealing with agri-
cultural credit.

Applications for Beer
Licenses Total 700

Applications for beer licenses in
the Capital neared the TOO mark
today with receipt of approx,
mately 100 new letters by Daniel
E. Garges, secretary to the Board
of Commissioners.
Included in applicants today
were a dealer in building mate,
rials and several more hardware
dealers. Merchants in nearly
every line of business have been
represented in the applications
received to date.
Arts Club Request
Another club was listed among
institutions applying today when
a letter was received from the
Arts Club of Washington, 1000
block 1 St. N. w., asking a
license.
A large number Of those who
have applied for licenses Will be
automatically refused. District Of
ficials pointed out, since many
classes of business are specifically
declared ineligible to handle the
beverage.
The District beer bill, as it is at
present, restricts the licenses to
businesses engaged in food dis
tribution, clubs, and similar estab'
liShmentS.
Some doubt was expressed to-
day as to whether Washington
beer drinkers will be able to slake
their thirst on April 7, with the
rest of the nation, due to the de-
lay in passage of the local beer
bill, which necessarily has held
up drafting of city regulations
Delay Certain
It was pointed out that license
application forms must be printed
and forwarded to those who have
applied by letter. After these
forms are filled out and returned,
they must be checked carefully
to ascertain the fitness of the ap'
plicants.
One solution which has been
offered in the granting of tenn
porary licenses. pending the com
pletion of the investigations, the
licenses to be made permanent If
the applicant is found to be
eligible. No definite action has
been taken on this plan, however
First Meeting Held
The board appointed by the
Commissioners to draft a beer
code for Washington and to de
eide upon forms of licenses and
applications held its first meet
ing today in the offices of Yer

Comptroller General ]. R. NC
Carl today ruled that the unex-
pended portion of an appropria-
ton for a public building, COM
pleted in accordance with Specifi-
cations, may not be used two
years later for installing a new
plumbing system in the building.
This particular instance in
volved a specific appropriation in
annual appropriation acts for
such plumbing installation,
circumstance which made the use
of the original surplus even less
practicable.

SCHOOLS SLASH

Restoration of all estimates rec
commended by school officials in
the new 1884 District supply bill
is urged in resolutions sent today
by the Roosevelt High School Par
nt-Teacher Association to men,
bers of the District appropriations
subcommittees of both House and
Senate.
The resolution lays particular
emphasis on the $112,500 reduc-
ton proposed for repairs and i'm
provements to school buildings,
asserting that it will be impossible
to keep the 217 school buildings
in proper repair or in reasonably
good condition under the reduced
estimate.
Declaring that the major part
of this appropriation is used for
labor, the association asserts that
"any curtailment of municipal
work means increased unemploy-
ment and the piling up in the
Treasury of the District of Colum-
bias unused and unspent dollars" r."
The original school estimate
was 100000. In 1884 the ap-
preparation for repairs was $92,-
900 and in 1888, $437 500.

Say, here is something that

That's given wide publicity.
But here is something that

WEAKNESS SEEN
IN BLUE SKY
LAWS Of j. 8.
No Other Nation So Helpless,
Huston Thompson Tells
House Committee

The United States has done
less to protect buyers of securi-
ties than any other civilized ma
ton, Huston Thompson, former
member Of the Federal Trade
commission. told the House Inter.
state Commerce Committee today
in opening hearings on President
Roosevelt's securities bill.
In drafting the measure, Thomp-
son explained, the Presidents ad-
visers studied all foreign laws as
well as securities acts in this
country.
Among the far-reaching propo-
sails in the bill, ne enumerated:
ALI advertisements for sale OF
securities moving in interstate
commerce must be submitted to
the Federal Trade Commission
together with a statement of
the condition of the company
issuing the securities.
Radio Needs Okay
All radio speeches advertiS-
ing securities must be submit
ted to the Trade Commission
in advance and a statement
must be made Of telephone con-
versations in the sale of Sc
curitieS.
Foreign nations are given the
right to sell securities directly
in this country without inter
ference.
But if the foreign government
sells the securities to an invest
ment banker, who in turn sells
them to the individual, they
are treated on the same basis
as sale of American securities,
Can't Stop Frauds Alone
While praising the blue sky
laws of Al States, Thompson said
that State laws alone can not
curb securities frauds.
At the same time the Admin
istration bill was Endorsed before
the Senate Banking Committee
today by Arthur r. Tucker, II
New York, secretary of the Con
trollers Institute of America. H"
said:
"The institute some time ago
took a stand for observance of
the highest ethical standards
in corporate accounting prac.
ticeS. We favor the prepara-
ton Of reports of financial and
operating conditions of corpora
tiOns in such manner that all
concerned may know actual
conditions"
Some Changes Urged
A telegram was offered from
Arthur H. Carter, president Of
the New York State Society Of
Public Accountants, urging sev-
eral changes in the bill. One Of
Carter's objections was that the
statements required from COM
panies offering new securities
should cover the operating rec
ord for three years past instead
of IL months.
Henry WoodhouSe, chairman Of
the National Recovery Council.
declared the bill should be
amended to strengthen Federal
control over securities issued by
j. P. Morgan and Company, and
other private bankers serving as
fiscal agents for foreign govern
ments.
