Dillon said the firm formerly
carried deposits but discontinued
the practice in recent years. In
1927, Pecora pointed out, the
firm held $5,250,00O on deposit
from corporations and he asked:
"Why did your firm discOn-
tinue this practice?"
"That deposit business grew
up, not because of any sOlicita-
tiOn on our part but as a
3 natural counterpart of our bust
ness. After 1927, we diScOur-

Highway Patrol
On New Duties
Sir Walter Hotel
Tn. Times-News Bureau

RALEIGH, July 12.-Members
of the State Highway patrol are
busy getting familiar with the
many new duties imposed upon
them by the 1888 general assem-
bly,, according to Captain Charles
D. Farmer, commander of the pa
troll. For in addition to their old
duties of patrolling the highways,
checking up on motor trucks and
enforcing al the highway and mo-
tOrvehicle laws, the patrolmen are
now charged with the duty of in
specting gasoline and oil from all
filling stations, as we'll as that OF
inspecting gas and oil pumps to
see that they give correct measure.
For the time being, the patrol
men are trying to become familiar
with their duties as gasoline and
oil inspectors, Captain Farmer
said, They have the authority to
require any filling station operat-
or to give them samples of the
gasoline and oil sold. These SAM
pies are sent in to the testing lab
oratories here in Raleigh and test
ed to see that they conform with
the required specifications. If they
do not, the filling station operator
from whom the samples were OBJ
tanned will be prosecuted.
Heretofore the only gasoline
and oil that has been inspected
and tested has been that shipped
into the state in carload lots, so
that it was impossible to tell what
happened after it got to the in
dividual filling station operator.
But with all the highway patrol
men acting as gasoline and oil in
spectors and taking samples from
all filling stations, it will now be
possible to check up on them and
see if any gasoline and oil dilution
is being practiced. 1t is also eX-
pected to break up the bOotlegglng
of gasoline and oil into the state

Japanese Throng
Into Hardin and
Russians Worry
By JACK HOWARD
United Press Staff Correspondent

HARDIN, July 12.-(UP).-
."What will become of u.s." is the
question that $4,000 Russian in
habitants here are asking each
other today.
Each train from Hsinking, cap
ital of Manchukuo. brings more
and more Japanese to increase
the 10000 already calling Har-
bin their home. Russian shop
keepers are finding it more and
more difficult to compete with
the japanese and many of them
are going out CT business. The
majority are White Russians, and
cannot go back to the Soviet
Union. They also have property
here which they cannot liquidate.
The $1,000 Russian employees
of the Chinese Eastern railway
are disturbed, for besides the
rapid and ever-increasing influx
of Japanese, the current trouble
over the ownership Of the railway
has brought them problems. All
of them, according to the regula-
tons Of the railway, are Soviet
citizens, but many of them find
their sympathies are not entirely
akin to those of Russia. They
are willing to work for the rail
way here, but they have no desire
to return to Russia.
When and if Japan buys or
takes the Chinese Eastern rail-
way, these $1,000 employees grad
ually will be discharged.
Many refugees from the Soviet
Union who have reached Hardin
after weeks and weeks of hard
ship in crossing the border are
another problem. There is no en-
ployment for them and they be-
come dependent upon charity.
These people are living in camps
which are no more than novels.
In the meantime, confident that
the situation will be solved when
the time comes. the large Rus
sian population is going about its
business and making the best of
things. To the questions they
ask themselves about what lies
ahead they shrug their shoulders
and say "Nitchevo."

MORMONS LIFTED BAN
AGAINST SMOKING FOR
PRESIDENT HARDIN G
By GEORGE D. cRISSEY
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, July
~. (UP)-The injunction of no
smoking" is a fundamental part
Iof the creed of the Latter Day
Saints (Mormon) Church, but
once the rule was broken-by
consent-in the office building of
the church.
The person, who gained the dis
Itinction OF being the only one to
smoke in the church offices was
Warren G. Harding, then Presi-
dent of the United States.
Distinguished visitors usually
are escorted through the church
office buildings, said to be the
finest in the world, and President
Harding was no exception. He
visited here on the tour which
ended in his sudden and tragic
death in San Francisco few
weeks later.
While going through the build
ing, the President asked for per-
mission to smoke. 1t was not
Forthcoming Immediately as the
WORD of WISDOM" a document
of church faith, denounces the use
of liquor, tobacco, tea and coffee.
As the tour progressed, the
President seemingly became ner-
Iyous. He again asked permission
! to smoke. There was a hurried
conference among church leaders.
The obvious nervousness and
WEAKNESS of the President was
taken into consideration after
which permission was granted to
smoke one cigaret
The cigaret was smoked and
President Harding thereby gain
ed the distinction of having &C
complished something heretofore
considered virtually impossible.

France Is Gloomy
Over Net Contest
By WALLACE CARROLL
United Press Staff Correspondent

PARIS, July 12.-(UP).-The
economic conference may fail, the
French government may fall, the
franc may collapse, but 100000
600 Frenchmen are much more
worried about the Davis Cup.
Throughout the land, people
who probably never have seen a
tennis match are wondering
whether France will lose the IA
nous trophy late in July.
The woman who cleans your
apartment will tell YOU. between
strokes of the broom, that France
hasn't a chance. On the other
hand. the milkman believes Henri
Cochet may come back.
The most depressed of all is the
office-boy, who once saw Cochet
play. He has been going around
in gloom ever since an Austrian
named Jack Crawford beat the
French idol.
The sports writer's are busy try
ing to pick a new team to defend
the cup. Sometimes they agree
that Cochet and Jean Borotra
must play in the singles. AT
other times they insist that one of
the younger players must be used
in singles and Borotra saved for
doubles.
Either way they conclude that
France may lose by three matches
to two.
The tennis moguls are thinking
up new strategy to stop the in
vaders, who may be American,
British or Australian. Last year
they slowed up American shots by
thoroughly soaking the court.

NEWTON, Mass. - (UP). -
Economy" and "hard times"
were watchwords back in 1874,
when Newton became a city, it
was revealed when the contents of

nerstone of the old city hall, now

that business was bad and urged
