HUGE ADVANCES
Of CASH MADE
To H|SFOES
Clarke, Chicago Capitalist,
Says Loans Were Deciding
Factor in Battle
BY international News service

BY extending lavish credit to
O bankers syndicate, the Chase
National Bank of New York was
responsible for the 1880 over
throw of William Fox as movie
czar, 1t was revealed today at the
Senate banking inquiry.
Harley L. Clarke, Chicago capi-
talist, who participated with the
bankers, gave the bank credit for
financing the battle on Fox. A
resume showed the banks loans
to Foxs enemies totalled $1O3,-
$500 in about eighteen months.
On a memorandum found in the
Chase files, Clarke said:
eff it had not been for the
Chase, could not have gotten
the mOny."
"Suicide" Method Barred
An "inside story of Wall Street
business methods was disclosed
by a stenographc report of a
telephone conversation on April
8, 1890, between Clarke and Har-
old L. Stuart, head of Halsey
Stuart & Co., in the midst of the
Fox war. The firm had been
Fox's bankers, but believed the
Clarke group, which included Al
bert H. Wiggin, then head of
the Chase Bank we're trying to
make it walk the plank" The
report, found in the Chase Bank
files, follows:
II have been put on the end
Of q springbOard and told to
jump off,"
Clarke asked:
"What do you mean?'
'Well, for one thing, Blumen-
thai and Greenfield New York
bankers) knew what was going
on and I didn't"
Clarke said:
IF they got any informa-
EiOn, they didn't get it from
me. If you want to play ball
with me, you tell me what you
have on me, and if you have
anything on me, will come
clean with you. / have repu-
tatiOM as well as you"
Stuart retorted:
II don't think you ought to
talk to me like that. feel as
though I've been pushed out of
the picture.
"Well, Harry, my heart is too
full. l ought to be very happy
today. Then / called you up
and all I got from you was
gloom. Find out what you have
on your mind. Find out what
you want me to do and call me
up. You have said nothing but
q lot of trash to me and / am
more or less sick about it,"
Syndicate Was Target
Other participants were COM
planning about the syndicate's
methods. A memorandum showed
that Clarke told John Otterson,
another participant, that he felt
bad because:
"Sam Untermyer is raising
hell right now because we are
permitting publicity favorable
to Halsey Stuart. The thing
that raised particular hell was
a headline in the Chicago Trib-
une, something to the effect
that he had whipped the bank
ers into line"
Ferdinand Pecora, special Sen
ate counsel, next revealed a $28,-
O50,00O loss by the public in bonds
of the General Theaters Equip
ment Corporation, used by the
bankers in their fight on Fox.
This loss was suffered by the pub
lie in it's purchase of a O,0OO, 900
bond issue. A purchasing group
of bankers paid the corporation
$27,O0O,O0O for the bonds and re-
sold them six days later to a SELL
ing group for $2s,95O,Ooo. %. -.

NEWSMEN WAR
ON GAG RULE
IN TREASURY
Satisfied With Arrangement
So Far" Says Morgenthau;
May Change Mind

Strong fight was promised by
the Treasury Correspondents AS
Sociation today against the cen
sorship placed in effect by Acting
Secretary Morgenthau.
Protests to President Roosevelt
resulted in the statement at Warm
Springs that Morgenthau was act
ing on his own responsibility, and
that the President did not intend
to interfere with the operation Of
the Treasury Department in that
regard.
Morgenthau said the new rule,
under which all information from
the Treasury and it's various bu-
reaus must reach the press and
the public through Herbert e.
CASTOR, assistant to the Secretary,
was a trial arrangement.
Satisfied So Far
He intimated it might be ter
minated later as he familiarized
himself with the department.
Morgenthau said:
II am satisfied with the ar
rangement so far"
The Acting Secretary said he
thought all information to which
the public was entitled from the
Treasury would reach them
through the press. He did not in
dicate what type of news would
be given to the public.
Morgenthau insisted his regu-
lation is not censorship but
simply prevents conflicting state
ments.

The chancellor's move came rap- idly, 4s hours after his nysteri- ous mobilization of the Heimwehr at their respective district head quarters, on Tuesday. @~
 The troop leaders had been told to hold their men in readiness for emergency service" and . mo- mentous conference of their chiefs took place at the Vienan head quarters.
 The ostensible reason for the sudden assembling of the Helm. wehr had been for the possible suppression of socialist disorders suppression of the principal sos cialist newspaper.
 The Heimwehr, in recent weeks. has grown tremendously, through adherence of hundreds of mon- archists, who brought into the or. ganization considerable equipment, including machine guns and steel helmets.
 Activity of exiled royalty, coupled with the significant royal court" held yesterday at Rome under the regency" of the former Empress Zita, who reviewed the most brii- liant assemblage of Austro- -Hun- garian nobility since the war, was regarded as significant.
 It was believed that Dclifuss in- tends to set up c fascist state based in large measure upon the Italian pattern. in which the tituiar res- toration of Archduke Otto to the throne of his fathers might con- ceivably play . great part.
 Measures for strengthening the armed support of the government have come rapidly. vice-Chan- cellor Emil Fey, the De Facto com mander of all of Austria's armed forces, and Chancellor Doilfuss agreed. before the chancellor vfs- tied Geneva, to publication of n decree interning all "undesirables in Austria--and compelling them to pay for their board and keen while they arc being detained--at the pleasure of the vice-chancei~ Tor.

 Both Kelly and his wife were given life sentences in prison.
 They were the last of the IA persons indicted under the new Lindbergh law in' the $200.o00 ransom abduction Of Charles F. Urschel, millionaire Oklahoma oil man.
 The story of the Kellys is one of sordid romance Of the under world-one of petty criminals graduating suddenly into the "big league class" only to fall prey to the forces of law and order.
 They stepped into one of the most spectacular crimes in Amer ican criminal annals only to be the quarry of one of the great manhunts of the department of justice. Punishment came with record breaking speed.
 Only scant information on the early life of George Kelly has been revealed. He was used car dealer in Tulsa but deviated from his business to sell whiskey. Twice he was arrested on vagrnncy charges. was convicted and served short jail terms. \ Shortly after his second sentence he was arrested for selling whiskcy to an Osage Indian. The government convicted him, sent him to Leavenworth pcnitentiary to serve three years.
