OKLAHOMA CITY, April 26.
QP,+Federal authorities today set
tied down to the task of finding a
way to get G. G. Julian, fugitive
oil promoter located in Shanghai,
back to Oklahoma to face prosecu-
ton on mail fraud charges.
Attorney Q. A. Cargill, who an
nounced he would go to China
within 10 days to get the promo
tor unles U. S. authorities gain
speedy extradiJion, was baked in
his efforts to communicate with his
former client by long distance "a
dio telephone. Facilities were not
available.
Cargill, who with John Peacock,
an oil man, may be $25, 900 loser be-
cause they signed Julian's bond
wanted to ask the fugitive to re-
turn voluntarily to face the 49,
500, 900 mail fraud indictment and

verdict of acquittal. while the de-
Tense insisted upon a complete
trial with the death penalty pos
sibility, in order that Mooney might
have a chance to establish his in
nocence of the crime and be given
a strong point on which to argue
for pardon.
William w. Murphy, assistant
district attorney, created the first
sensation when, as the hearing OPP
ened, he said the state would sub
nit the case without evidence.
Judge Ward said he was con-
vinced the defendant should be CIV
en- an opportunity to appear and
derry ,the accusation, unless the
district attorney could persuade him
otherwise.
eff the district attorney moves to
acquit," said the judge, "I'll grant
the motion providing he can con-
vince me before the defendant
takes the stand"
Judge Ward said the court would
not be party to weaving
the threads of a loophole which
will give the defendant an oppor-
tunity to obtain his freedom from
the charge on which he was first
convicted"
will any evidence you expect to
produce raise a constitutional ques-
ton which could not be raised un-
less this trial is held?" he asked
Frank P. Walsh, chief counsel for
Mooney. Walsh replied he could
not make a fair answer to his set
tied policy, but he agreed that any
evidence presented will not be in
troduced to impeach evidence of the
1917 trial which resulted in Moon
ey'S conviction.
Judge Ward said he was perfectly
willing to give Mooney a fair trial
on the facts of the case.
1t was then that Judge Ward
voiced a sharp attack on the de-
monstrators and ordered the trial
continued.
Walsh agreed the demonstrations
were unfortunate" but argued the
crowd was small considering the
Importance of the case.
Although police prepared to
handle $4,000 persons in front OF
the Hall of Justice, less than 1000
gathered.
The demonstration was staged
against the wishes of Mooney, who
issued a statement last night urg-
ing his followers to refrain from
any activity that might incite the
ire of authorities.

GREEN FIGHTS
WAGE LIMIT
Labor Chief Opposes Minimum
Scale In Arguments Before
Committee Hearing.

WASHINGTON, April 26. U.P)-
President Green of the American
Federation of Labor today strenu-
ously opposed the minimum. wage
proposal of the administration
urged as an amendment to the 80
hour work week bill.
Green, appearing before the
house labor committee in support
of the 80 hour work week, said he
feared "the moral effect of min
imum wage fixed by the govern
ment would be so great that it
would pull down living standards. !"
"We fear the minimum wage
scale would be the maximum, -
Green said, adding he believed that
living standards would be definite
ly lowered "instead of lifted up
Unemployment must be relieved
and purchasing power restored if
the depression is to be lifted, Green
asserted.
He proposed an amendment which
would force employers to. permit
their workers to join labor unions.
The unexpected arrival of Secre-
tary of Labor Perkins almost dis
rupted the hearing.
Chairman Connery jumped to
greet her, and Miss Perkins took
the seat of Representative Mary
Norton (Dem0 N. ].
Green ignored the interruption
and continued his testimony. He
said he did not believe the bill would
apply to railroad labor. Rail en-
ployees we're among the first to
urge the six hour day.
Their representatives are disap-
pointed at lack of their inclusion
in the bill.
Green said he could see no reason
why the newspaper industry should
not operate under the 80 hour
week.
"Our executive council urges
very strongly that the printing in
dustry be included under provisions
of the bill,' he said.
Committeeman subjected Green
to cross examination on his opinion
of the bill s effects on assorted in
dustries. from glass making to fruit
canning. Green replied he believed
the 80 hour week applicable in all
cases.

TWO VICTIMS
Of GANCSTERS
Bodies OF Bootleggers Found
By Police In Field Identified
AS Racketeers.

VERNON, Calf, April 26. U.P)-
Two men, identified from finger
prints as bootleggers, were found
garotted in a refuse dump near
here today. They apparently had
been taken for a ride" by rival
liquor racketeers shortly after mid
night.
The men were identified by the
sheriff's office as Earl Withrow, "a,
and George H. Walters 33. an ex-
convict from San Quentin. Both
had police records, deputies said.
The bodies apparently had been
thrown from an automobile which
had bumped its way 100 yards
across an open field. No marks of
Identification were found on either
man, and their striking resemb-
lance, even to their dress, first led
to the impression they were twins.
Hemp ropes had been pulled tight
about their necks.
Investigators admitted they were
without early clues to identity OF
the killer.
Captain William Bright of the
sheriff's homicide squad expressed
the opinion the men had been
strangled in some downtown apart
ment where their slayers feared the
noise of pistol shots.
Walters also was known as Vic
tor Harmon and Victor Harley.
While neither man had money on
his person, the fact that WithroW
carried a watch and an inexpensive
diamond ring indicated robbery was
not the motive, Captain Bright
said.
WithroW was arrested in Los An
geles November, 1929, on two counts
of assault with intent to commit
murder, growing out of the shooting
of Robert Murphy, 2630 Twenty
ninth street, San Francisco, and
Bill K. De Gross while they assert
edly were running carload of IL
quor into Los Angeles. Both Muir
ply and De Gross recovered, and

United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, April 26. = A
monetary duel between Great Bri--
tain and the United States with
the trade of the world at stake was
forecast today in the senate by
Senator Reed (Rep) Pennsylvania.
unless there is agreement between
London and Washington on stabil-
ization of international exchange. Z,
Reed broke into a speech by Sen
ator Connally Dem) Texas, to say
that British effort to add to their
pound sterilization fund was q
hint of bitter trade rivalry to come
with each nation forced to depre-
ciate its currency to meet the chal-
lenge of the other.
BY means of the British manag-
ed currency the pound has been
kept well below the level of the
American dollar with vast benefit
to British exporters in their COM.
petition with Americans for for
eign markets. n'
Connally had raised the subject
by urging the Importance Of the
Roosevelt initiation program as vital
to success of the London economic
conference and as an attack upon
"chaos in world trade.'
A tie-up between initiation and
the world economic situation came
earlier in the day in a joint state
ment issued by President Roosevelt
and Prime Minister Ramsay Mac
Donald of Great Britain. The
statement declared for an expan-
sion of credit through central banks.
Reed approved President Roose-
velt's efforts to obtain information
al agreement for sterilization OF ex-
changes without which he foresees
unparalleled trade war.
Senate Majority Leader Robinson
asked Reds opinion on possible
agreement to stabilize the British
pound at from $3.50 to $3.75-a de-
probation of more than 81 from
the gold standard. 1t has been re-
ported the British would be favor
ably inclined to some such figure.
"That would be wonderful, - the
Pennsylvania replied.
81 approve what the President
is doing to accomplish it. Mr..
Roosevelt is doing excellent work
for the United States by getting in
touch with representatives of the
British government to prevent a
monetary duel between the British
exchequer and the American treas
ury.'
Reed said reports of British plans
to increase the pound sterilization
fund indicated "an effort of Eng
land to arm herself. -
"What is threatened now,' he
continued, "is a duel between the
British exchequer and the Amer
lean treasury, each trying to depre-
ciate.''
Robinson agreed that was correct
and the discussion ended in agree
ment between the leaders of the
anti-inflation forces and the Demo-
cratic leader that international
agreement is necessary ito effect
prompt and fair sterilization Of
currencies.
