private detective, told supporters
of Tom Mooney last night that
Mooney will be cleared Tuesday

the days Mooney was a strike
leader and agitator, claimed to

have long been seeking the bomb
ers.
Emerson claimed two Mexicans
were employed to plant a bomb
in MONEYS headquarters, where
it was to have been "discovered"
bv Martin Swanson, a power COM
pany agent now dead. Mooney at
that time was agitating a strike

Steuart and Market streets, acid
from the detonator leaked and
the bomb exploded, killing ten
persons.

DR.. A.H.MOrey
Ends His Life
This Morning
WelL-Known Dentist Found
With Bullet Through His
Head, Neck Broken; is
Held Suicide

Dir. A. II. Morey, 70, proml-
ncnt Hendcrsonvillc dentist, and
leader in the business and reli-
gious life of the community, COM
mitted suicide this morning about
g o'clock in his Office on Main
street by shooting himself through
the head with a 32-calibre pistol
Of Swiss manufacture.
Death was declared to be sui
eide by Coroner j. +. Brooks,
who was called Immediately. Mr..
Brooks said that Il note left on
the desk Of his office explained
that he was taking his own life
due to worry over finances and
health.
The body was discovered by
W. II. Bangs. Jr.. who lives in an
apartment in the building. Mr..
Bangs was called by Mrs. MOrey,
VINO said that she heard DR.. Mo-
rey fall. Upon entering the Of

lying on the floor and the auto
matte pistol nearby.
DR.. Morey was still clad in his
nightdress. a dressing gown and
slippers. He had apparently risen
only short time before and
crossed the hall from his apart
ment to his office. Apparently he
sat down at his desk and wrote Il
note and then killed himself. He
was shot through the mouth, the
bullet passing through his neck
and striking the ceiling above. He
then. apparently, rolled from the
chair and his. neck was broken in
the fall.
Following an examination, Cor

Ohio. but came to Hendersonvllle
about 90 years ago. Since then
he had made his home here with
occasional trips to his old home:
He was prominently connected
with the development of llender-
sonville and with the religious
life of the community. He was
an elder in the First Presbyterian
church and a member Of the
choir.
Yesterday as was his custom he
sang in the choir at the church,
and later in the dav visited
friends in the town and county.
He was, according to these

health.
He is survived by his widow,
who was in highly nervous state

CONTRIBUTION
IN DISARMINC
PLAN IS BROAD
Geneva Told Nation Would
Lead Way to Scrapping
Bulk of Defenses
WOULD GO AS FAR AS
QUITTING NEUTRALITY

GENEVA, May 22.-UP).-
The United States called on all
nations today to disarm drastical-
ly and offered to consult with
other powers in the punishment
Of aggressors.
President Roosevelt, boldly TAX
ing the leadership Of the worlds
efforts for peace, even proposed
to abandon Americas cherished
neutrality in the event peace IS
threatened, and virtually offered
to scrap the bulk of the powerful
American navy, army, and MILL
tary air force if other nations
will do the same.
The presidents proposals were
presented by Norman II. Davis at
the opening Of the worlds dis
armament conference. Davis said:
an the event nations in confer
ence find that a nation has been
guilty Of a breach of the peace
in violation Of its international
obligations, and take measures
against the violator, then. if we
concur. in the judgment rendered
as to the responsible guilty party,
we will refrain from any action
tending to defeat such collective
effort which these states may
thus make to restore peace"
Davis emphasized the need for
a speedy guard for peace and eco
monte recovery. If any nation
refused to disarm the responsible
ity of the conference rests on it,
he said.
In Rome, Premier Mussolini's
1O-year peace pact. involving
Italy, Britain and Germany sud-
Genly rushed toward conclusion.
In Paris, officials hesitated re-
garding the plan and emphasized
that it had not yet been formally
concluded.

State Hull announced double
edged program Of military and
economic peace as a cornerstone
to the United States foreign pol.
icy in London and approval was
given to Mussolinis plan.

MORGAN PROBE
WILL REVEAL
FIRM SECRETS
Senate Investigators Break
Barriers Quiz Opens
on Tuesday
B. LYLE c. WILSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, May p. tUPf.
Senate stock market Investigators
have preached the defenses Of J..
p. Morgan and Co. Secrets Of
that world-famous investment
house will be broadcast to the
public in open hearings which be-
gin tomorrow here.
Twenty years ago Il house COM
mittee conducted similar nves-
tigation. A nation thrilled with
excitement when the legendary
person Of J. 2. Morgan took the
witness chair. A world awaits the
story now, so much has the pow
er and business Of the house Of
Morgan grown.
Another J. ?. Morgan has beer
summoned to testify, son of the
financial genius who SPARED 20
years ago with Samuel Untermy-
en- during the PuiO Money Trust
investigation by the House. This
younger Morgan hates publicity
even more than did his father.
Cameras have been broken in his
frequent protests against chance
photographs.
FINANCIAL CONNECTIONS
Industrial finance, connections
between Morgan and company and
the great private banks and the
flotation in this country Of tens Of
millions of dollars worth of for
eign securities, invite the present
investigation. Twenty years ago
the inquiry conferred upon indus
trial finance and banking affllla-
tiOnS.
In 200 pages of Pujo committee
testimony, now bound and dusty
on library shelves, are contained
as much detailed information as
the public ever has obtained re-
/, garding the operation of the great
private bank. In general the evil
dence shows that a private bank
jsuch as j. p. Morgan and Co., Is
beyond supervision of any public
authority.
Sometime more than a year ago
Thomas V. Lamont, one-timc
newspaper reporter turned banker
and now after Morgan. senior
partner of the firm, detailed be-
fore the Senate Finance Commit
tee various postwar transactions
! in foreign bonds. 1t was the con-
census of observers that the house
of Morgan had been perhaps more
careful in its flotations and more
| diligent in behalf of investors than
| had other bankers offering foreign
securities to American buyers.
BANKS SECRETS GUARDED
But whatever the banks secrets
may be, Lawyer John w. Davis
was anxious to shield them. On
his advice Lamont and Morgan
two months ago refused to open
to committee investigators all their
records. The senate insisted and
the records were produced. Law

especially anxious to conceal the

Session to Learn
REDUCED TARIFFS
ARE AN ALTERNATIVE
By THOMAS L. STOKES
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON. Nav -. CUP
A new emphasis by the Roosevelt
administration on achieving eco
monte recovery largely through
internal domestic policies, with
less stress on international CO.
operation. has aroused keen m
terest here on the eve Of the
world economic conference At
London.
What appears to some TO be a
conflict OF policy in domestic amt
international programs Is being
Interpreted by others as stra-
tegical device Of President RooSe-
welt to force results at the Lon
don conference.
Armed with legislation design
Cd to bring recovery purely thru
domestic machinery. President
Roosevelt. in effect, asks the ma
tons of the world to cooperate
with the United States on an IN
ternatiOnal scale but say It they
do not then this country can re-
tire within her own borders and
be sufficient unto herself.
1t is regarded significant that
the new emphasis on domestic
remedies comes just three weeks
before the conference Is scheduled
to opn. Assistant Secretary OF
State Raymond l. Moley took tins
tack in a speech last night.
On the one hand. there IS a
very manifest avenue of local
treatment to cure the depression
in the pending farm and indus
trial control bills. 1t permits a
curb on production through short
er working hours. The farm DllI
adjusts agricultural production 70
this country'S needs. The logic Of
both is TO make the United States
self-Supporting.
On the other hand. the United
States is leading the way IN an
international conference designed
to climate nationaliSm as far as
possible bv striking down trade
barriers of all sorts and provId-
ing for Il free interchange OF
commerce.
The outcome Of the policy out
lined in the industrial control anu
farm bills would be the lifting OF
United States tariff barriers still
higher since otherwise the meas
ures could not be made effective.
Yet the United States, III look
-. - -. acOnOmir conference
places all emphasis on lowering
trade barriers.
Warning of too great eXpecta-
lions from the London confer
ence Moley concluded his speech
by saying:
I'VE must recognize, all of US,
that common sense dictates that
we build the basis Of our pros
permity here and direct all OF our
efforts to the end that our ma
tional welfare and prosnerity may
lead us away from the distress
into which the depression plunged
us. But wise international coop
Grafton can help distinctly and
permanently"
Beyond its possible influence
for cooperation at the London
conference, the new emphasis on
q purelv domestic recovery pro
gram is regarded as designed to
assure American business Of gov
ernmental help in event the IN
ternational effort fails.
