BANK B0OKKEEPER
IS SHORT $4,000
Wilbur N. AveriII Confesses
DefaIcation in Northeast
Savings.

A bookkeeper in the Northeast Saw
ings Bank, Eighth and H streets north
east. last night confessed to George
F. Hoover, conservator of that bank,
to the shortage in the general accounts
of the bank of $45,000, Mr.. Hoover
said today.
The Department Of Justice immedi-
lately launched an investigation by ex-
pert accountants into the records Of
the bank.
j. Edgar Hoover, head of the Division
of Investigation. said that a confession
by Wilbur N. Averill of Hyattsville, a
bookkeeper of the bank, had been turned
over to him by the conservator Of the
bank
Averill was being held today in Gus
tody of the United States marshal
pending arraignment before Commis-
sioner Trfnage tonight.
Ready to Surrender.
Averill is 80 years of age and was
employed in the commercial department
of the bank. He had been connected
with the bank about 10 years.
Although the Northeast Savings Bank
is a member of the new Hamilton Ma
tional Bank merger, the shortage In the
old bank will have no affect upon the
Hamilton National Bank funds what
soever officials said. As a matter Of
fact. the shortage, whatever it will
finally be discovered to be, Is COM
pletely covered by bond. and when the
bonding company makes good the loss,
half OF these assets will be turned over
to the Hamilton for disbursement to
depositors. Thus the Hamilton really
will gain by the discovery instead Of
losing.
President E. c. Graham, of the
Hamilton, said that while his bank
was in no way responsible for the
shortage nor for the second so per cent
of the assets of the Northeast Savings
Bank, he had been advised that there
would be no loss even to depositors In
the Northeast Savings Bank through
the alleged defalcation.
Awaits Successor.
Mr.. Hoover, who has been named
branch manager for the Hamilton
Bank at the Northeast site, still is con-
servator at that bank and will not be
released from his Government job until
his successor Is appointed.
Averill had been missing from the
bank since Sunday, it was said. When
he was finally reached by officers Of the
bank he came down voluntarily, and
during a conference at the bank he Is
said to have made the confession.

PHILADELPHIA, September 81
Flaming riot set off by revolt against
punishment for bitter convict fights
swept Eastern Penitentiary last night,
throwing the prison into one of the
worst turmoils in its century of history.
While smoke and flames from burn
ing mattresses arose in cells and corri-
dors, practically the entire prison popu-
lation of about 1900 long timers" fol
more than three hours kept the insti-
tuition in disorder, screaming and
smashing their cell furnishings.
Warden Herbert j. (Hard-Boiled)
Smith, cropping through the smoke in
an attempt to quell the riot, was almost
felled by two blows on the head by a
piece of steel cot welded through cell
bars by an enraged convict. Fifteen
stitches were taken in his wounds.
800 Battle Prisoners.
More than 300 city police and State
troopers who dashed here from the
fire companies finally brought the riot
under control by half-drowning some
ccnvicts with streams of water from
high-pressure hose. clubbing those who
persisted.
Warden Smith, a veteran of many
fierce battles in his former service with
the State police, said about 20 convicts
were beaten, 10 requiring hospital care.
During the height of the riot an elec-
trio cable was either cut by convict
or burned by flames. Part of the in
terror was thrown into darkness.
Inside and out the great gray stone
pile became an armed camp before the
rioters were Subdued.
Trouble Started Sunday.
Smith said the trouble began last
Sunday among some of the most vicious
convicts with whom guards had been
having trouble The malcontents lost
prison privileges and were segregated,
but in marching to mess on Sunday
several of their leaders started fight.

convinced advisers he was about tc
make known his desires for expanding
credit through regular channels as the
alternative to outright currency in
flation.
One caller alone was received-Jesse

call was regarded unofhcially as mean
ing that France was considering the
two defaulted war debts payments to
the United States.
Family Reunion Held.
The immediate object of the Presi-
dents visit to the metropolis last night
was to have a family reunion and say
good-by to his eldest son, James. who
sailed at midnight for Europe with hi
wife, Betsy.
In the quiet of his Hyde Park estate
on the banks of the Hudson he will
watch the national recovery drive and
outline shortly his ideas for putting idle
cash in closed banks and frozen bank
deposits to work to support his price
lifting campaign.
His immediate object IS the release o1
funds in closed banks. But he Is also
intently watching the steps by man
ayers of the many open banks to pu'
their resources to work.

TRANSIENT JObLESS

Grants Are Made to Fourteen
States to Care for
Unemployed.

Harry L. Hopkins, Federal emergency
relief director, today announced grants
totaling $250,O00 to IA States to set up
State wide agencies for the care of
transient unemployed.
The District of Columbia, whose re-
lief agencies are now at work on plan
to care for transients here during the
coming Winter, was not included ir
todays grants. Arthur S. Rosichan
executive director of the Jewish Relief
Federation, has been nominated to di-
rect the work here, but no action has
been taken yet at Mr.. Hopkins office.
In making the allotments today, Mr..
Hopkins declared he will not tolerate
the use of Federal funds to carry out
the policy Of many communities ito
pass the transients on to the next
town" The States receiving funds to-
day were instructed to provide facili-
ties which will aim at stabiization Of
the transient jobless.
Plan Service Bureaus.
The plans call for establishment of
service bureaus at strategic centers in
all States and trained social workers
are to be employed to help transients
readiust themselves and so far as pos
sible place them in gainful jobs to keep
them of the road.
"To some extent, communities have
attempted to meet the needs of the
large and increasing number of wan
derers," Mr.. Hopkins said. Increased
relief demands on local and State re-
sources to care for home folks, how
ever, have left many of the transients
sorely neglected. Investigation has
shown that while they constitute q
shifting population, the majority of in
dividuals who comprise it are not shift
less. They are an. expression Of the
general unsettled economic condition of
the country
1.-THE transient bureaus which Fed
eral funds are financing are being set
UP chiefly to help transients stabilize
themselves. Opportunities for employ
ment are limited almost entirely to To-
cal residents Jobs on public works
projects will be available only to resi-
dents of the localities where the prof.
ects are being undertaken.
'Transients seeking work away from
their legal residences are in serious
danger Of losing whatever employment
opens up"
Grants Made.
The grants to the various States are
for one months expenditure. Subse-
quent grants will be based on the ex-
perience developed by their programs.
The grants by States follow:
Texas, $4,000; Tennessee, $500;
Ohio, s50,000; Nevada, $1,000: Louisi-
