Friday-Hurried Confer
ence Is Called.

NEW YORK. September 27.-Faced
with default Of municipal obligations,
in immediate need of $25,0oo,oOo for
the Friday pay roll, and out-maneu-
vered on their stock tax program by
the New York Stock Exchange, city
officials conferred again today with
Gov. Herbert Lehman and bankers in
search of a solution to a dire fiscal
problem.
The city needs s25, 100000 to pay of
its workers Friday and at least $72,-
100000 to carry it through the No
vember pay day.
From Gov. Lehman and Mayor John
P. O'Brien it was learned that an agree
ment was expected from today's confer
ence, and when representatives Of the
banking interests gathered at the Leh-
man residence indications were given
that bankers would agree to loan on
assurances of municipal retrenchments
and State aid.
Bankers Represented.
Banking interests represented at the
meeting included the most important
financial houses of New York;. P.
Morgan and Company. the Chase Ma
tional Bank. the New York Clearing
House Association, Kuhn, Loeb and
Company, First National Bank, Bank
ers Trust Company and the Guaranty
Trust Company.

forces of John F. Curry, Tammany
leader, and Mayor O'Brien.
Equally pressing is the political as

fight to which has been added Tam
many arch foe and one-time con-
queror-Samuel Seabury.
Ready to Campaign.
Seabury, whose investigation led to
the resignation of Mayor James j.
Walker. arrived from Europe last night,
refreshed and eager to campaign for
Fiorello H. La Guardia, fusion's mayoral
aspirant. Thus the city will see an
anti-Tammany Democrat helping an
independent Republican try to smash
the regular Democratic machine.
Seabury did not comment on the light
between Mayor John P. O'Brien's ad-
ministration and the Stock Exchange.
That fight ended last night when
O'Brien, reversing his position. vetoed
two city bills that would have taxed
stock transfers and the incomes OF
security dealers. The exchange there
upon dropped its plan to move to
Newark, N. j.
Brokers expressed jubiliation over the
success of what they called modern
Boston tea party" They insisted they
would have gone through with their
threat to establish the New Jersey Stock
Exchange in Newark market building
If the taxes had not been vetoed. The
Daily News expressed the view that
move was bluff" and the exchange
would have stayed here anyway.
Building without Tenants.
Newark. a somewhat saddened city,
found itself with a $5,00,000 market
building on its hands. tenantless. A
garage concern occupying the building
had been evicted.
Mayor O'Brien, in changing his mind
about the stock taxes, accused the
brokers of lack of local patriotism
and said he faced situation beyond
his control. Samuel Untermeyer, fiscal
adviser who devised the taxes and then
urged the veto, said:

/. OF POISON REFUTED
Van der Lubbe Testimony
Repudiated in Reichstag
Arson Trial.
BY the Associated Press.

LEIPZIG, Germany, September 81
A Swedish criminologist and a Dutch
editor testified in the Reichstag arson
trial today that when they visited
Marinus van der Lubbe in jail they
found him in sound mental and
physical condition.
The witnesses were called following
testimony that Van der Lubbe was
weak from a self-imposed fast and al
legations that he had been mistreated.
Van der Lubbe laughed when I
asked whether he was being mis-
handled" said one witness.
The court commented: THAT testi-
mony ought to repudiate alleged for
eign reports that Van der Lubbe is
being slowly poisoned and whipped"
Four other men, the former Com
munist leader Ernst Torgler and three
Bulgarian political refugees, are on
trial as accomplices.
An attempt to rouse Van der Lubbe
from his usual reticence failed this
morning.
Are you going to talk more clearly
today" asked the presiding Judge. Van
der Lubbe was silent.
Detectives to whom he allegedly con-
fessed setting the Reichstag blaze and
other Berlin fires were then called to
the stand.

Park Savings Bank, on the imminent
arrival Of bank examiners, was made
in District Supreme Court yesterday by
John Cooke Grayson, former chief clerk
in the Office of the chief national bank
examiner for this Federal district.
Grayson. brother Of Rear Admiral
Cary T. Grayson, White House physi-
high in Democratic party councils, was
arraigned before Justice F. D. Let's late
yesterday.
Appearance Is Surprise.
His appearance in court came as a
surprise, as he had been reported seri-
ously i'll Of a heart ailment at Char
lottesville, Va. But he was able to walk
into the court room with his attorneys,
William E. Leahy and Wilton ]. Lam
bert, and a friend.
The Government has charged in in
dictments that Grayson frequently noti-
fled Stunz that bank examiners were
on their way to the Park Savings Bank,
thereby allowing Stunz to conceal large
embezzIements of depositors' funds. 1t

This shortage, an investigation by the
Department of Justice has indicated, Is
approximately $l,500,000.
Brother Signs Bonds.
Before the arraignment Grayson
posted bond of $4,000 on each Of two
indictments, the bonds being signed by
his brother, Admiral Grayson.
Grayson's attorneys waived reading
of the indictments, and after Grayson
had pleaded not guilty Leahy asked for
10 days to study the charges. reserving
for his client the right to change the
plea or to file such motions as he may
desire

ROPER SAYS WORKS
TO GAIN PACE SOON
Commercial Aides Urged to
Keep Pay Leading Price
Rises.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, September 27.-Secre-
tary Daniel c. Roper of the Department
of Commerce, addressing the National
Association of Commercial Organization
Secretaries here yesterday, predicted
that the public works part of the re-
covery program would be brought into
line within the next 80 days.
Mr.. Roper, delivering the address in
place of Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, head
Of the N. r. A., who is i'll, appealed for
the voluntary cooperation of business
men to keep purchasing power ahead
of price rises. He urged upon organized
industry its responsibility in the second,
or enforcement, phase Of the N. R. A.,
now getting underway.
The Secretary of Commerce empha-
sized the fact that no restriction upon
business initiative was intended in the
attempt to get control of prices so as
to keep purchasing power always little
ahead of the upswing of costs. The ef-
feet of the maximum hour and mini
mum wage provisions of the recovery
act, he said, was 80 eliminate labor
as competitive factor in our economic
progress"
Help Urged.
Urging that local chambers Of COM
merce help their communities in fur
thering public works, Secretary Roper
asserted that the tagging of the pro-
gram was not the fault of any one
in Washington, but was due to the fact
that, while large projects had been
planned in advance. the projects in
smaller communities had not been ready.
1T takes time for local communities
to properly investigate, decide upon and
engineer local projects he explained.
Il think you will find in the next 30
days a very satisfactory approach TO
coordination in the uniform frontage
Of line between the N. R A. and the
public works program. and satisfac-
tory development of purchasing power"
Gen. johnson is starting in the N.
r. A. statistical study of the ques-
tion Of prices and purchasing power in
order to provide guidance "for all con-
cerned" Secretary Roper said.
But we cannot accomplish this price
control except through industry recog-
nizing the importance of keeping up
