WALL St. ISSUE
MAY GET SENATE
HEARINGS ALSO
NUMEROUS OTHER INQUIRIES
LOOKED FOR PERTAINING
TO POLITICAL ACTIVITIES
OF MANY CONCERNS
By BYRON PRICE

(Chief of Bureau, Associated
Press, Washington)
It is far too early to forecast
all of the results of the senate
banking and investment hearings
but several points seem clear
enough:
The income tax law, already II
process of temporary patching a!
reflex of the Morgan dis
closures, is likely to be overhaulee
thoroughly at the next session OF
congress to impose heavier levies
on the wealthy.
Still more banking legislation
supplementing the Glass-Steagal
bill, may be looked for after the
senate investigation is concluded
1t is safe to assume, partly or
the basis of disclosures still to bt
made. that an effort will be pro,
NOTED next session to make the
new securities control law more
rigid.
Numerous department of jus
tice inquiries will be undertaken
with the senate evidence as 9
starter, but it is uncertain whether
any real results will follow.
Finally, in the field of genera
politics, there is sure to be tire.
mendous revival of the old oval
Street issue"
A First Act
1t should be remembered that
what has taken place thus far il
the hearings is only a curtain
raiser.
In those first four days of in
quiry into the Morgan opera
tions not one question was asked
which indicated that either pros
ecutor or committee member wa
charging any violation of th'
law.
The officials of several othel
Wall street firms remain to bs
questioned. Prosecutor Pecora il
too clever a strategist to throw
his whole strength into the open
ing skirmish and let the pro
ceedings thereafter suffer from
anti-climax.
1t is the unacceptable conclusion
that the committee investigator
have some highly surprising in
formation still in reserve.
More Regulation
Whatever the collateral effect
may be with regard to such mat
tiers as taxes and general banking
the strongest implication of tn,
testimony is in the direction o.
further securities and stock mar
ket regulation.
1t was that phase of the situa
ton that the committee set on
originally to investigate. It is t.
that subject principally that tn,
committee report, still month
away, will be obliged to address
itself.
Already, in the case of tn,
Morgan-controlled United cor
poration. with it's vast utilize
stock holdings, the committee hai
found food for thought.
Fitting Parts Together
How does all this fit in will
the Roosevelt policies? The ques
ton cannot yet be fully answered
but it should not be forgotten tina
the senate inquiry was revived thii
session with the express approval
Of the president.
And incidentally it is worth
noticing that the Administrations
gold clause repeal proposal wa
preceded by just matter of hour,
by new senate disclosures about
that mammoth concentration d
wealth in the financial district o.
New York.
Accident or not, the one was 1
powerful popular springboard FOL
the other.

TODAY'S HOROSCOPE

Here we have a seemingly able
and energetic nature, but many
of those born on this day seem to
have rather poor success. There
may be an impractical vein, and
there is some danger of loss
through the hands of others, when
it seems as though every avenue
had been guarded. The day is
not actually unfortunate. but the
early path should carefully pre-
pare for the later years.

s
AS most everyone knows, the
New York Yankees came north
this spring with roster includ-
ing three shortstops, any one of
them capable of holding down a
regular major league job.
Frank Crosetti, the slim San
Francisco youth, won Joe Nc
Carthy's nod for the Yankee as
|signment. Bill Werber, product
Of Duke University, is now en-
ployed regularly by the Boston
Red Sox, to whom he was sold
along with George Pipgras for a
sum reported to be $4,000.
The third shortstop, Lyn Larry,
languishes on the Yankee bench
for two reasons. The first is
that the Yankees put too high a
price on his services, $50, QllO, for
any other club IN the league to
consider paying, including the De-
troit Tigers. The other il that
Larry may yet win back seady
job with the champions, enther be-
cause Crosetti slumps or because
il may be necessary to replace
Joie Sewell at third base and re-
east the left side Of the inficld.
II is safe to say, meanwhile,
that Larry is the only $4,000 ball
player in any league riding the
boards and that the Yankees are
the only outfit willing or able to
hold such assets in reserve.
He'd Rather Understudy
Columbia Lou Gehrig may jolt
the theory loose with his mighty
bat, but / have heard number
of critics make the observation
this spring that the Yankee first
baseman will not be so good when
he finally is convinced ii Is up to
him to take over the smuggling bur-
den from Babe Ruth.
II il. Of course, Just so much
speculation, just as 1t is still de-
batahle, whether Jimmie Foxx's
hitting decline can be traced in
any way TO the passing of Al
Simmons to another lineup.
The point about Gehrig con-
Germs his temperament. He has
always been satisfied to be the
understudy or follow.up man for
the Big BAN. Naturally some
what shy, Gehrig is not a good
Snowman. lie Is difficult sub
ject to interview and he has none
of the Babes flair for doing the
unusual. Consequently he might
feel the pressure, and his bat
ting might reflect 1t one way or
another. and IL and when it de-
volved ON Gehrig to pick up the
main job.
On the other hand. close camp
followers of the Yanks are con-

JAPS STOLE
NEW GUN
Bostonian Asks State Depart
ment to Determine Status
of His Patent Rights

BOSTON, Dec. 20. h e n
Japan tested and claimed inven-
ton of centrifugal force machine
gun last week, Boston man was
in the midst of negotiations seek
ing contract to supply the Chinese
army with the same type Of
weapon, perhaps even the same
weapon.
This was revealed today by
Frank L. Jones, who says he holds
Chinese patent rights to the Lom-
bard centrifugal gun invented in
Boston and expressed the sus-
picion that the Japanese had
stolen secret specifications on
file in China. ;
Asks U. S. Investigation
p Jones has asked the State De-
psrtmenb at washington Ghei istt ID,
to determine whether the new
Jap weapon is actually the Lom-
bard gun and, if so, to advise
him how he may collect royal
ties. Japan in 1922 refused Jones
a patent on the weapon on the
basis of incomplete plans.
Jones is treasurer of the Gen.
trifugal Gun Corporation, which
acquired the rights to the Lom-
bard invention in 1922 after the
death of the inventor, Levi LOm-
bard.
Negotiations were begun last
year with the Chinese ministry of
war seeking a contract to supply
the Lombard centrifugal gun, sur
rounded with the utmost secrecy
for 18 years, on contract to the
Chinese army and air forces,
Jones revealed.
Reveals Correspondence
These negotiations recently had
reached an important stage when
suddenly, and ironically, the Jap
anese brought out their centrifu-
fal force VIZ pom and word of it
reached the united States in a
cable from Berlin telling of the
sensation resulting in European
military circles.
Jones displayed a copy of a
letter he addressed to the minis
try of war, Nanking, China, on
October "a, 1882, as the begin
ming of the negotiations seeking
a Chinese contract for the gun.
1t follows:
Having been referred by the
New England China National
Association to the consulate

FACE BR|BE
CHARGE
Marked Bills Paid by Driver
AIIegedIy to Escape Arrest
for Speeding

Charged with extorting $40
from a colored youth to refrain
from pressing a traffic charge
against him, Motorcycle Police
men John R. LeFoe and Henry L.
Woods, of the Traffic Bureau,
were indicted today by the Dis
trict Grand Jury.
The complaint was made by
Wayne B. King, 700 block of
Girard st. N. w., who was accosted
by the policemen several weeks
ago and accused of speeding. The
policemen are alleged to have de-
manued the money from King for
dropping the charge against him.
King reported the incident to
police officials and a trap was
laid. Sergts. j. D. Harrington and
William j. Cunningham reported
that they saw King give LeF'oe
two marked $5 bills in the pres
'elffcc Of Woods at Georgia Avenue
and Howard Place Northwest a
few days after his alleged arrest.
LeFoe, who is "a years old, for
years has been known as the
nemesis of overtime parkerS and
speeders. Woods is 80 years old.
The extortion charge was the
second made in a month against
policemen. Detectives Harry 6.
Bauer and Rudolph Schleichert
were acquitted early this month
on a charge of extorting $50 to
refrain from pressing a liquor
charge against a rum runner.
The two detectives are now fac
ing trial before the police trial

Governor E. c. Johnson today

The governor expressed opposi-

he did not feel justified in inter

trial court.
His statement follows:

"The fact he is only '18 years

According to DR.. Buckingham
the anesthetic is especially effec-
tive on cats, although it is sue
ceSsful for other types of animals.
It can be given either in capsule
form through the mouth or hypo-
dermically in the abdominal
region. The former method will
be used on the tiger. DR.. Buck

The tiger will fall asleep in
