the latter's pretty young wife,
Rheta.
Charles S. Dougherty, Assistant
States Attorney, declared he
would 20 before the Grand Jury
tomorrow and ask that the g.
year old woman physician be in
dicted for the murder.
Earle Also Faces Charge
Dougherty said he also would
ask the indictment of Earle Wyne-
koop. but the prosecutor declined
to say on what charge the indiCt-
ment would be sought, The phi
laundering husband of Rheta is be-
ing held in the county Jail as an
accessory.
Meanwhile a hurry call for a
physician to attend DR. Wyne-
koop revealed that her heavy
cold has taken a turn for the
worse.
Authorities said Dr.. Wynekoop
had developed fever, but added
that the request for a physician
was made only as a precaution
against pneumonia.
The States Attorneys office
apparently paid little heed to DR..
Wynekoop's sudden reputation
of her original confession" that
she had shot the girl in the back
after she had succumbed to an
accidental overdose of chloroform
while submitting, unclothed, to an
examination.

Detectives were delving today
into the past life, the habits, the
friendships, and actions of the
woman physician in a search for
evidence and clues to support the
charge of murder lodged against
her.
1000 To Be Questioned
Police expect to question 1000
or more persons during the in.
quiry, according to Capt. John
Siege. He added:
1--WE are going to delve into
DR.. WynekOOp'S habits, from the
time she got up in the morning
until she went to bed at night.
1--WE are going to question her
neighbOrs, her patients, shop
keepers, and merchants to see If
we can find perhaps some
chance remark which might
throw more light on the motive
behind this strange homicide"

dollar outstanding Is supposed to be
matched by 40 cents In gold held in
the Federal Reserve Banks or In the
Treasury. The theory is that 40
per cent gold reserve Is enough because
not more than 40 per cent OF the dollar
bills will ever be presented for redemp-
ton at any one time. We have now
upward Of four billions In gold available
for redemption Of paper currency. On
q 40 per cent basis, four billions Of gold
would sustain about 10 billions Of paper
and other currency. We have In circu-
lation less than seven billions. Conse-
quently, we are still safely ON 40 per
cent reserve basis.
What happened in New York las,
week, however, and to some extent
elsewhere, was a double attack on the
gold reserve. Gold was Withdrawn from
the New York Federal Reserve Bank
in large quantities by frightened per-
cents in gold withdrawn diminished by
81 the amount of paper and other cur
rency that could be sustained. At the
very same time, the quantity Of paper
and other currency taken out was in
creased very rapidly by natural demand
due to tying up Of bank deposits by
| holidays in Michigan and elsewhere
| Every additional dollar of paper cur
rency sent to the interior consumed
so to speak, 40 cents in gold in the
Federal Reserve System.
Move Stopped In Ample Time.
To sum up, increase of paper cur
rency increased the need for gold to
sustain it. At the same moment with
drawal Of gold for boarding diminished
tho y,fify If un1d q h1o IN e,1cf ",
the paper currency.
Had the process been permitted to
go on long enough, We should have been
of the gold basis In serious way. The
process, however, was arrested in ample
time. The Government still has up
ward Of four billions in gold, and that
Is enough to sustain much more paper
currency than Is now in circulation,
more than has ever been in circulation
and more than Is likely to be. For the
immediate future, first problem is to
keep the gold reserve as large as it
now is. For that purpose, President
Roosevelt's proclamation forbids with
drawal of gold for boarding and forbids
shipments of gold abroad. The next
step is to avert the necessity for more
clearing house scrip" Is going to be
put in circulation in large quantities.
This scrip will be q substitute for cur
rency.
These two are now practically &C
complished steps. They would seem to
take care Of our remaining on the gold
basis The wholly different question
still remaining is to get all the banks
open again and to get them functioning
on q normal basis. This problem Is
now under intent consideration. The
steps for this purpose will probably be
presented to Congress as q program on
Thursday.

Revamping of Tariff Laws.

Consequently, it is stated in author
lied quarters, the principal object TO
be achieved at the coming international
Economic Conference must necessarily
be thorough revamping of the present
tariff laws and trade agreements. the
latter have lately completely broken
down and have not helped world trade
in the least. It is no longer the ques-
ton whether Great Britain or any
other country will return to the gold
standard. This is now OF little con-
sequence. But the important thing is,
if the wheels of the economic life are
to be set in motion again. to come TO
agreements whereby the raw materials
or the manufactured products of coun-
tries can be freely interchanged.
For this reason the tariff question
will be of paramount Importance at
the economic conference.
Tariff walls surround every country
in the world. These tariffs have been
set up within the last five or six years
first of all as a fiscal measure. to in
crease the revenue Of depleted treas
uries. Their effect has been nil as far
as revenue is concerned and have
harmed the economic structure Of the
countries which have applied them
Then, there are tariffs which have
been imposed to protect a nascent IN
dustry. The results of these tariffs
have been that the consumers In these
particular countries have suffered by
paving higher prices and the protected
industries themselves have proved I'M
economical. And finally there are re-
taliatory tariffs, which are admitted by
ali economists to be harmful to those
who impose them and those against
whom they are imposed.
Harmful Results.
The net result of these tariff wars
which have been waged throughout the
world in the last decade has proved
more harmful than a physical war and
their effects are being felt In countries
which normally would have been ex-
tremely PROSPEROUS.
It is O. new peace conference winch
the world is expecting today, 1t IS said
in responsible quarters. and that peace
conference will be held when all the
nations of the world gather to discuss
their economic problems.
In the light Of this situation, the debt
question and the return TO the gold
standard arpear as insienif1cs-t AS the
cuestio, Of how MANY guns will be de-
stroyed BY nations involved in wars at
the end Of war. Debts and gold. it
is stated in responsible quarters. will
have to be discussed as corolarv Of
an eventual tariff agreement. but their
solution can come only If the PRINCIPAL
nations can come to an understanding
to break down the restrictions on inter-
national trade.

ECONOMIC FARLEY
CHANGE IS SEEN
Fundamental Subjects De.
cIared Altered by U. S.
Banking Crisis.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

A complete change in the funda-
mental subjects to be discussed at the
coming Economic Conference is ex-
pected in diplomatic quarters in Wash
ington as a result of the present bank
ing crisis in the United States.
The countries which have been OF
the gold standard fer the last ID months
believe that to discuss, under the
present circumstances, a return to the
gold basis would be futile.
The economic crisis. which has been
virulent throughout the world for the
last two years and has been now &C
centuated by the crisis in the United
States, has proved amply that a re-
distribution of gold is essential.
But gold, it is said, cannot be re-
distributed arbitrarily. 1t must be the
result of a freer interchange of goods
and commodities. The balance of pay
ment of such an exchange is then made
in gold.

Woodin's Repeated State.
ments Regarded as Clear
Expression of Policy.
BY MARK SULLIVAN.

The intention Of the Roosevelt ad-
ministration Is to keep the country on
the gold standard. and all the steps
now being taken have that end in view.
Secretary of the Treasury Woodin' s
repeated insistence that the United
States is not of the gold basis is a
clear expression Of intention not to
abandon the standard. As such, Mr..
Wocdin's attitude Is Of the highest i'm
portance for the future. It will be re-
ceived everywhere as an expression of
policy on the nart Of the new admins
tration to the effect that the United
States will stick to the gold standard.
or hope, or fear that we shall remain
On the gold basis, but at the same time
reduce the size Of the gold dollar.
There has been no expression Of any
intention to do this. Persons who
vaguely predict this cite as one of their
reasons phrase In Mr. Roosevelt's in
augural address In which he said !:
There must be provision for an ade-
quate but sound currency" That SEN
tence has caused much talk.
Whether Mr.. Woodin is strictly &C
curate when he says we are still on the
gold basis today Is a matter for meta
pnySlcal debate. 1t Is true that 1t Is
not possible today to take a dollar to
the Federal Reserve bank and get a
gold dollar in exchange for it. That
could be done last Friday and at any
time preceding Friday. except, Of course,
on Sundays and legal holidays. That
readiness Of the Government to give
gold for paper Is what constitutes be-
Ing on the gold standard. Those who
insist we are still on it argue that in
ability to get gold for paper today IS
just like being unable to get 1t on
Thanksgiving day or any other holiday.
What We are having, according to this
argument, Is merely an extended legal
holiday.
