L. E. Zacher, president Of the Trav-
elers' Insurance Co. of Hartford, Conn.,,
said: Our policy as to all mortgage
leans is to cooperate to the fullest eX-
tent possible in aiding the home owner
to retain possession.
The New York Life Insurance Co.,"
said Thomas A. Buckner, its president,
'plans no change in its policy respect
ing mortgage loans, whether on resi-
denceS OF other properties. Our policy
is to deal with each case individually on
its merit. Action regarding Iowa farm
leans was merely to suspend temporarily
foreclosures in accordance with the re-
quest Of the Governor in his proclama-
tion, pending consideration of the sub
ject by the Legislature"

holders.
Within the limits of this obligation,
We will continue to exercise all possible
leniency in the endeavor to provide for
Q continued home and farm ownership.
Situation Distressing.
'The agricultural situation is pecul-
tarly distressing, engaging the attention
OF National and State governments. We
have therefore felt justified in postpon-
ing any foreclosure action on owner
occupied farms until the situation has
developed with more definiteness.''
John F.. Hardin, president of the
Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Co..
said: 1T has been and is the policy of
this company to extend to mortgagors
every possible consideration and to re-
sort to foreclosure only when every
other recourse is exhausted. This ap-
plies to mortgages generally. The
Iowa action is in compliance with the
Governors request for delay, but in
wolves no change in the company
policy"

$50 Liquor Bribe Case of Bauer
and SchIeiChert Puzzles
Tribunal; Judge Angered

Two hours before two liquor
squad detectives were ac-
quilted of a charge of extortion
in District Supreme Court yes
terday, the jury of eleven men
and one woman stood seven to
five for a verdict Of guilty.
This was revealed today by one
member of that jury which JUS
tice Peyton Gordon, in extreme
anger, discharged from all further
service in District Court after it
had returned its verdict.
Out rs Hours
After the jury had been out for
IS hours, unable to reach a YER
dict, the juror revealed, secret
ballot was taken to ascertain the
sentiments of it's members. The
result was Z to 5 majority
against the two detectives, Harry
G. Bauer and Rudolph Schleichert.
The secret ballot was taken, it
was revealed, when one member
of the jury, stood adamant for a
verdict of guilty against all II
other members.
Framing Suspected
Despite this expression of 'hon,
est" opinion, the juror said, the
Jury consistently contended that
there was a reasonable doubt
that the two detectives might
have been framed" as the de
1ense claimed.
The reasonable doubt" was
based on a question which was
not brought out in the testimony
the juror disclosed.
This question concerned the
fact that the $50, which the de
tectives were accused of accepting
in return for a favor, was con
tanned in two envelopes.
The Two Envelopes
Although neither the proSecu
tion nor the defense brought out
why the money was placed first
IN one envelope and then in an
other, the jury reached its own
decision on this matter and de
