NAz| FOES RIOT
AS ENVOY ARRIVES
New York Throng Enraged
When Weidemann Gets
Past on Tug.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 25.-Rioting broke
out today at the North German Lloyd
line pier In Brooklyn in connection
with the arrival in America Of Hans
Weidemann, representative Of Adolf
Hitlers German government at the
forthcoming World Fair Exposition in
Chicago.
A crowd of 1000 man and woman
-Hitlerites, awaiting the arrival of
the Nazi official, became enraged when
it was learned that Weidemann and an
aide accompanying him to the exposl-
ton had been transferred from the liner
Columbus to q tug and brought to the
Battery in Manhattan.
Displaying banners condemning 'sTne
Nazi murder and terror regime" the
crowds turned on the so uniformed po-
lice and 80 plainclothes men, throwing
bricks and bottles at them.
Women Wear Red Hats.
Police engaged in hand-to-hand COM
bat with the rioters and after struggle
arrested 13 men and women, the latter
wearing red hats.
The prisoners were locked up in a
garage near the pier. Rioting broke
out afresh with the imprisonment Of
the 13. With police standing guard in
front Of the garage door, the crowd
again charged them.
Reserves were called and in a short
time additional police forces arrived on
foot, on horseback and In automobiles.
Order was restored only after police
drew their guns and leveled them at the
crowd.
During the melee more than a score
were injured, including four policemen,
one of whom suffered fractured right
arm.
EARLY today a delegation from the
German consulate here went to the pier
to welcome Weideman and Gotthold
Schneider, q German artist.
Visit Declared Insult"
Shortly after the arrival at the pier
the anti -Hitlerites began to gather.
Sensing trouble, German officials en-
gagged private tug and went out to
meet Widemann and Schneider.
The departure of the Germans in the
tug aroused the suspicious of the crowd
and before the North German Lloyd
liner docked the rioting started.
The Socialist party Of New York last
night issued a statement declaring that
the presence of Weidemann in this
country "is an insult to the people of
the United States"
ANY representative Of this barbaric
regime in this country should be and
will be met with execration and loath-
ing" said Julius Gerber, secretary Of
the Socialist party. There can be no
good will between Hitler's Germany and
the working masses of this country and
decent men and women in general"

PROBE SPOTL|GHTS
BANKING TO PUBLIC
Effect of Morgan Inquiry on
Legislation Likely to Be
Considerable.
EMPHASIZES GLASS BILL
Administration Held Hardly Likely
to Oppose Measure as
Result of Hearing.
GLASS BILL
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

The unrestricted manner in which
]. p. Morgan g. Co., private bankers,
may do business, as disclosed before the
Senate Banking Committee, has
aroused public interest in the banking
situation today to an even greater ex-
tent than already existed.
The favors which may be extended
to friends of the firm, either through
loans or through participation in
ground floor offerings of stock, have
been disclosed at the hearing now In
its third day. ,.... .... .---'..
At the same time the Senate investi-
CATION has disclosed the vastness OF
the operations of the house OF Morgan,
and the soundness with which 1t has
conducted its business.
Considerable Effect Likely.
The effect OF the revelations Of the
operations of the Morgan firm before
the Senate committee on the fate OF
the bank reform bill which is now be-
fore the Senate, and which In much
the same form has already passed the
House, is likely to be considerable.
Opposition to this measure has been
largely centered in New York, where
many of the bankers have been strong
ly critical of those provisions of the bill
which would compel banking firm or
corporation to cOnflne itself either to
commercial banking or to investment
banking. The provisions of the bill as
1t now stands hit the house of Morgan
hard, as well as national banks and
State banks, which have operated an
investment business through so-called
afiliates.
While the banking bill, sponsored by
Senator Glass of Virginia in the Sen
ate and Representative Steagall of Ala
bama in the House, has not been
openly opposed by the administration,
up to the present President Roosevelt
and his Secretary Of the Treasury,
William Woodin, have not classed it
as an administration measure. In the
licht of the Senate investigation of
the Morgan House it would appear
that the bank reform bill woald scarce
ly be subject to open opposition from
administration sources.
The name of Secretary Woodin, along
with those of Senator McAdoo OF Cali
fornia, Owen j. Roberts, associate JUS
tice of the Supreme Court; Newton D.
Baker, former Secretary Of War, and
Charles Francis Adams, former Secre-
tary of the Navy, was included in the
list Of those persons to whom j. P. Nor
gan g. Co. offered to sell stock in the
Allegheny Corporation the lst Of Feb
ruary, 1929, at $40 a share, when the
speculators on the stock market were

$35 q share.
One of the results of the publication
of this list was statement made today

OPTIMISM IS SEEN
IN IRON AND STEEL
Atmosphere of American In
stitute Meeting in Contrast
With 1892.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 25.-In contrast
with the gloom pervading the last an
nual session the American Iron & Steel
Institute held its 1888 meeting in an
atmosphere of confidence and optimism
today.
Steel manufacturers from the lead
ing producing centers commented hope
fully on the marked expansion In op-
eratlons this Spring and many of them
looked for further gains.
Charles NJ Schwab, chairman Of
Bethlehem Steel Corporation and chair
man of the institute, said present con-
ditions were the reverse of 1882. Cur
rent operations are still 'far from what
we would like to see," he stated, but
they are more than double the rate Of
a few weeks ago, and the trend IS lin
the right direction" He urged institute
members to support President Roose-
velt's program of economic recovery.
Need of RepIenishments.
William A. Irwin, president Of United
States Steel Corporation, said that the
rather liberal demands for steel prod
ucts during the last six weeks quite
clearly indicate the need of the coun-
try for replenishment of stocks" 1t
was reasonable to assume, he added.
that activities in the development OF
needed enterprises, together with re-
habilitation and modernizing Of major
facilities, will call for substantial ton
mage of heavier products"
The improvement in steel business
is being maintained" said Eugene G..
Grace, Bethlehem's president. This Is
occurring without any improvement In
the railroad and construction lines"
George G. Crawford, president OF
Jones & Laughlin Steel Corporation,
summed up his company's outlook as
follows: Our business is substantially
