BANK TIE-UP CUTS
AID FOR 600 HOMES
1850 Anne Arundel County Chill
dren Among Those Left to
Own Resources.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

special Dispatch to The Star.
ANNAPOLIS. Md, March 25.-The
relief work which has been carried on
by the Central Relief Committee of
Anne Arundel County since November,
was discontinued today throwing ap-
proximately 600 families, including
about $500 children upon their own re-
sources. After today the committee will
not be responsible for any bills con-
tracted for relief work due to the State
bank law, which has tied up its funds,
and the failure to receive the $4,000
levied by the county commissioners for
relief work.
The expenses of the committee in
carrying on its work run higher than
$4,000 a month. At present the COM
mittee has S3.400 tied up in the bank.
With the $4,000 levied by the commis-
sioners, this sum, if it were available,
would allow the relief work to 60 on for
possibly another month, until warmer
weather
THE necessity of discontinuing aid
creates an extremely serious situation
in Annapolis and Anne Arundel Coun-
ty," DR.. j. H. Janney. chairman OF
the committee, said. AT least $500
children are involved, together with a
great many widows, old people and in
Valids, who will be without funds for
food, except what may be supplied by
neighbors.'
Members of the committee have been
told by the county commissioners, it was
pointed out, that the county could ex-
tend no further aid than the $1,000
levied DR.. Janney said the question of
State aid had been taken up with the
commissioners, Gov. Albert c. Ritchie
and the Governors Advisory Committee
on Unemployment Relief.

j. s. COOL TO TALKS
WITH DEFAU[TERS
Definite Distinction Drawn by
Hull in Discussion of Debt
Revision.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A definite distinction was drawn last
night by the Roosevelt administration
between discussing revision Of the war
debts with nations which have met
their payments and with France and
other countries now in default
This stand was made known at the
State Department where Secretary
Hull in answer to inquiries said:
As to the governments that are in
default or have deferred their payments
on the intergovernmental debts I can
not say at the present time that we
would cit in with those governments in
future discussions Of their debts"
Only Friday the British government,
through Ambassador Lindsay, opened
formal negotiations for revision Of its
debt on which full payment has heen
made to date despite Great Britain S
plea that the settlements should be
changed.
French Plan Negotiations.
The Hull statement indicating a less
receptive attitude toward nations in de-
fault was made about the same time
the French government was announcing
in Paris that 1t would begin negotia-
tionS for revision Of its debt with the
arrival Of its new Ambassador, Andre
LefeWe de Ia Boulaye, who will take up
his duties In the United States on
April IL.
State Department officials declined to
amplify Secretary Hulrs statement, nor
would they indicate whether it meant
that the French case would be heard
only on condition that the installment
Of more than $4,000, 900 now more
than three months overdue be paid
first.
The defaulting governments on De-
cember Is we're:

and $245,370 interest; France, $l9,-

principal Cegally postponed) and $2S,-
444.35 interest; Poland, $232, 900 princi-
pal 0egally postponeO and $3,070, $50
interest.
These sums, totaling about $25, ,000.-
600, represented the first defaults on the
American war debts.
Ready to Discuss Tariffs.
What effect, If any, the administra-
tion's statement in regard to nations in
default would have on the movement in
France toward making its deferred pay
ment was problematical
Several leading French statesmen, in
cluding Former Premier Herriott, whose
cabinet fell on the issue, have been urg-
ing that the Chamber reverse its pre-
viouS stand against payment. A resolu-
ton to that effect has been formally in
troduced in the body.
At the same time Secretary Hull made
his statement 1t was made clear that the
American Government will be glad to
discuss with France, or any other nation
broad questions involving tariffs, ex-
change restrictions and other trade bar
riers with view to insuring the sue
cess Of the forthcoming World Economic
Conference In London.
The cooperation Of France IS re-
garded as highly important. In recent
months numerous quota limitations
upon imports have been erected upon
the already high French tariff walls.

MOONEY GRANTED
TRIAL IN BOMBING
Judge Allows Him "Day in

BY the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 25.-Tom
Mooney was granted new opportunity
today, after 16 years of Imprisonment.
to acquit himself of the 1916 Prepared
ness day parade bombing here in which
10 persons were killed and 40 injured.
The noted prisoner was granted the
right to trial April 26 on heretofore
unused murder indictment growing out
of the bombing.
Superior Judge Louis H. Ward, in
granting the motion, held there could
be no abridgement of the right of a
defendant to a jury trial for each in
dictment against him.
The unused indictment, except for
the names of victims involved, is the
same as that upon which he was con-
victed and sentenced to death. The
sentence was commuted to life i'm
prisonment.
Hopes for Full Pardon.
Defense attorneys demanded the ad-
ditional trial on the theory that an
acquittal now would strengthen
MONEYS fight for a pardon. He has
said repeatedly he would accept
nothing less than a full pardon, de-
claring he is innocent and the victim
of "capitalistic frame-up."
Judge Wards swift decision was fol-
lowed by the equally quick withdrawal
of Matthew A. Brady, district attorney,
from prosecution of the case and the
designation by the court of the State
attorney generals Office as prosecutor.
Mooney, turning from his work in
San Quentin Prison to hear the news,
said:
Il am very happy. felt there would
be a revulsion on the part of the people
against the injustice in my case and
that they would insist that some way
be found to right the wrong.
This is the nearest expedient under

Il am quite confident there is no
question about the outcome. I will be
acquitted. The evidence we will be able
to produce will be overwhelming"

with Joy.

never would live to see him again out
side the gray walls Of San Quentin,
Mrs. Mary Mooney took up work for
his defense.

LEADERS OF LEGISLATURE
AND EXPERTS IN FARLEY
Plans for Federal Co-ordinator and
for Seven Major U. 8. Lines
Are Given Roosevelt.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
More of the Roosevelt speed was
brought into action yesterday to hasten
the draft Of legislation for overhauling
railroad law, a program the President
plans to put before Congress this week
He called In railway experts and spe-
cial advisors. He sent for congressional
leaders. The first result was consent
on the part Of Chairman Rayburn of
the House Interstate Commerce Com
mittee to hold up his own rail legisla-
ton for inclusion into one general rail
bill.
Next, Donald Richberg, general coun-
sci Of the Railway Labor Executives
Association, emerged with an announce
ment that his organization would meet
here Thursday to take q stand on rail
reform.
It developed at the White House that
two concrete plans have been put be-
fore Mr.. Roosevelt. One would have a
Federal co-ordinator with power to di-
rect reorganizations and consultations
wholesale and to effect economy and
efnciency. The second would call for
pooling railroad interests for rediyision
into seven big systems.
Two Proposals Stand Out.
THESE two proposals stood out from q
great number Of plans for solving the
railroad situation which have been in
formation privately for weeks and
which are now being pressed to the at
tention Of the President.
In the background Of these Is the
central program which was ascribed to
the President when last at Warm
Springs, Ga, before taking ofice-a
program for one-man direction of all
transportation agencies-rail, highway,
air and water. This general idea was
advocated also in the report of the
Transportation Committee on which sat
the late Calvin Coolidge, Alfred z.
Smith and other nationally known men.
Tne seven-zone plan was brought up
to the White House yesterday by Fred.
erick A. Prince Of Boston. He and
Robert jackson, secretary of the Demo-
cratic National Committee, talked 1t
over with Mr.. Roosevelt.
The Prince idea Is to preserve the ex-
isting corporate structure of the carri-
ers. with holding companies to effect a
sharing Of the earnings. In every zone
two competing lines would function.
It was suggested this would put two
lines in the East, two in the Southwest
and three in the West.
The other, more centralized project
is being worked out by Prof. A. A. Berle
ident's economic advisers, in conjunc-
tion with railway executives.

FINISH BY JUNE
Final Enactment of Roosevelt
Plans Will End Slump,
He Declares.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Complete enactment of President
Roosevelt's program by June is the aim
Of Speaker Rainey. who declared his
belief yesterday that the depression
will end when that is accomplished !"
Success so far, the Speaker told
newspaper men at a conference, has
been due to tremendous almost unan-
imous-popular support"
If the people will continue to sup
port the President, I, at least, will do
everything I can to see that his plans
become law" Rainey added.
Outlines Work Left
The program of things yet to become
law, he said, includes:
Unemployment relief through refor-
estation and q permanent and broader
plan yet to be completed, along with
additional direct relief for the States.
Legislation to provide some kind Of
home and farm mortgage moratoriums.
In order that House Democrats may
continue to work with the President,
Rainey and the other party leaders have
definitely discarded the practice of
rushing legislation through. Yesterday
numbers Of them talked with some new
members who had shown signs Of OBJ
jecting to continuation Of past prac-
tices.
Because of the new order Of things,
Rainey said, I'VE can't keep on moving
as fast as we have been" He added:
And since we can't, it likely will be
impossible for us to adjourn Congress
by the first Of May as we had con-
templated."
Mortgage Plan Expected.
Rainey said he expected farm mort
gage Recommendation from the Presi-
dent this week, to be followed shortly
by home mortgage and railroad re-
organization messages.
While Congress Is acting, the State
Department, through our new Secre-
tary, will be trying to get some tariff
agreements" he explained. adding:
Our success in that direction de-
pends upon the Economic Conference.
We can't cut down our tariff walls
now, for we would be flooded by i'm
ports from expatriate American fac
tories-plants that have been forced to
60 to other countries to get over retalia-
tory tariff walls"
