BUFFALO, Oct. S Q.N.S0.
Capt. Charles A. Elliott, So, Of
New York, had the doubtful dis
tinction today of being the first
man to be arrested on a charge
of operating q steamboat while
under the influence of liquor.
The skipper, relieved of his
command of tn steam barge
Schuyler, somewhat shakily
mounted the bridge and sig
nailed full speed ahead.
Five minutes later someone
telephoned police a barge was
running wild in Buffalo harbor
with a drunken man at the
wheel. The police tug sped to
the chase.
The police tug sighted the
Schuyler steering straight for
the low bridge at Ohio Street.
Officers shouted a warning.
Skipper Elliott responded de-
rivisely. Then there was crash
of Splintering timberS.
Minus its pilot house and
smoke stack, the Schuyler sped
up and down the harbor before
it could be stopped.

C. Brush and Charles Hayden

and International Securities Cor.
poration, an investment trust ere
ated by Dillon, Read & Co., it was
revealed today at the Senate's
market inquiry.
Robert Christie, jr., a partner
in Dillon, Read & Co., defended
the selection of Brush and Hayden
by his firm. He said they were
familiar with securities and mar
ket operations.
Ethics Questioned
Ferdinand Pecora, special Sen.
ate counsel, suggested their "judg.
ment as trustees might be warped"
Pecora pointed out that Hayden
was a member of the brokerage
firm of Hayden, Stone & Co.,
which floated and handled vari.
Gus types of securities, while
Brush was a prominent speculator.
He asked:
do you think it an ethical
practice to name these men as
trustees of an investment truSt?"
Eyes. They are well-posted
men-they have broad knOwl-
edge of the market"
Pecora delved into the sale by
partners in Dillon, Read and
Company of a portion Of the
stock they held in the U. s.
and Foreign Securities Corpora
ton. In such deals, the partners
rolled up a profit of $6,800,O0O.
Christie revealed that 74,l98
shares were sold for ne part
ners by the brokerage house Of
Dominick and Dominick. Then
the partners sold 46,354 shares
direct to customers of their bank
ing house.
Resale Investigated
Pecora brought out that Dillon,
Read and Company had sold
1000 shares to their customers
for Dominick and Dominick.
Pecora expressed surprise that
the partners had sold this stock
to Dominick and Doninick and
then bought it back f." sale to
their own customers. Christie
explained the demand Of their
customers had exceeded the sup
ply which the partners wished to
SELL
Then Pecora called Ernest Bell
Tracy, president of the U. S.
and Foreign and of the U. S. and
International Securities Corpora
tions, to the stand. Tracy said
he received no salary for his
offices but was given an option
to buy U. S. and Foreign stock
at $25 a share. This stock later
went to $72, but is now $11.

Giants Get a Hand
When the Giants came into
the picture for their batting
practice. the sportsmanlike Wash
ington fans greeted them gener-
ously with a hand and vocal
powered ovation.
Lefty O'Doul spanked a healthy
home run over the right-field
wall when he took his batting
practice turn. The pitcher was
Watson Clark, a lefthander. Few
of the other Giants tried to put
much steam behind their swings,
preferring to bound to the infield
or pop up long, lazy flies.
At i o'clock the rain started
to descend in sheets, and the
players and exposed spectators
alike ran for cover.
WashOut Looms
From the northwest the clouds
banked heavily and forebodingly,
and it was apparent that a wash
out of the first local game was
more than likely.
A ground crew of 20 rolled the
tarpaulin over the infield at 25
minuteh before the game was
scheduled to start.
The ball club opened the huge
gates leading underneath the reg
ular center dollar bleachers to ad-
NIT the occupants of the uncov-
cred sectors to find protection
from the elements.
AS If to diSpel the depressing
efefct of the elements, the United
States Navy Band, garbed in
jackets of blue and white duck
trousers, circled the infield at
1:15, rendering dulcet strains.
Waiting For President
At lit the ground crew re-
moved the canvas covering as the
skies cleared somewhat and a
stiff wind seemed to blow away
the drizzle. The Army Band
stood in square formation imme-
diately before the Presidents
box, anticipating the Presidents
momentary arrival.
Before the Chief Executives s
box, a cluster of moving-picture
photographers awaited his arrival.

:

ANNAPOLIS. Oct. S. - Seven
st. Johns College students were
arrested last night in near, riot
that followed the annual hazing
of freshmen.
Six of the youths were re-
leased when the owner of a thea
ter which they crashed" re-
fused to prosecute, but a seventh
who gave his name as J. F. Sum-
merville, must stand trial on
charges of taking bicycle with
out the owners permission.
The trouble started when the
upperclassmen escorted the fresh
men to Southgate Fountain in
front of ST. Anne's Church to
duck them.
Town police broke this up. The
students then moved into town,
cheering and shouting, parading
in the streets and tying up
traffic.
One took a delivery boys
bicycle and was promptly ar
rested. Shortly after this the
six forced their way into a thea
ter without the formality of buy
ing tickets, and they too found
themselves in the arms of the
law.

If the Griffs lose today it
will be a long and hungry walk
home for two South Carolina
youths.
They ran away from home
and hitch-hiked here to see the
series. Leaving home they had
$40 each. On arrival here they
had Sc.
So they took out 81 for food
today and bought tickets. The
balance they bet on the Wash
ington team. And If they lose,
they said, the'll have nothing
to eat all the way home.
But then they don't expect
to lose. r
One Giant rooter, who had
been standing in line for many
hours, began to boast of what
a wonderful team was New
York's and how it would take
these here WaShingtons."
Washington rooters stood
just so much, then they none
too gently elected the enthu-
siast from his place in the
line, and he had to go back to
the end, some two blocks away.
eve Want Music!"
That shout went up soon
after the bleachers were filled
with those who had spent
many hours in line for a
chance to get in.
So the Washington club
management responded by
turning on the field amplifiers
and boardcasting records to
entertain the crowd.
A crew Of ground keepers
was at work at daybreak, and
the field was in perfect shape
for the start of the game.
Among the spectators were
two who didn't evince any in
tereSt IN the game or croWd at
all. They were babies, carried
by their enthusiastic mothers.
Their chief concern in life
seemed to be bottle of milk.
Col. E. w. Startling, chief of
the Secret Service at the White
House, arrived at the stadium
early to look over preparations
for the Presidents arrival.
The Presidential box holds 20
seats, and ramp has been con-

will walk to his seat from his

LADY N|PS
SOCIAL SHOW

A "curtailed" social program
will be given at the White House
this season. Mrs. Franklin D.
Roosevelt announced today at her
regular pless conference.
She and the President discussed
entertainment from all angles,
even considering having no social
affairs at all, she said, but de-
cided that it is useful for friends
to get together socially.
It will be matter of hospital
ity rather than lavish entertain
ment, she made clear, saying:
1--WE do not want a feeling
to get around the country that
Government officials are vast
ing money for show"
The formal program Of recep-
tions and dinners will be an
nounced at the White House Sun
day. The receptions will be
smaller this year.
AS one innovation. refreshments
will be served at receptions for
the first time since the Wilson
administration.
The refreshments will be simple,
Mrs. Roosevelt explained, saying
she did not like the idea Of re-
ceiving guests without offering
them something.
There will be no Cabinet din
ners given for the President, she
said. The only dinner he will
attend will be the Vice Presi-
dents.

PEC0RA JOINS
M'KEE TICKET
BY international News Service

Ferdinand Pecora, special coun-
sci in the Senate stock market in
quiry, today announced he would
accept the nomination for district
attorneyship in New York on the
Mckee ticket.
The attorney reached this deci-
sion after a conference with mem
bers of the Senate Banking and
Currency Committee, in which
they agreed that he could make
the race so long as it would not
interfere with the conduct Of the
Senate inquiry. He said:
81 conferred with the Com
mittee on Banking and Cur
rency and it was their opinion
that should take the nOmina-
ton. They said the active work
of investigating for the COM
mittee would be completed by
the end of the year. will not
do any campaigning that will
take me for one second from
this investigation"
Pecora declined to say whether
Mckee had requested him to be
the candidate and he also de-
clined to say whether James A.
Farley, chairman of the New York
and National Democratic commit
tees, had made the request.
Pecora told members of the
committee he would devote all the
necessary time to the inquiry and
probably spend only week-ends in
New York city.

A. F. Of |. ASKED
+. To FORM OWN
BRAIN TRUST
STRATEGY Board" of Men and
Women Sought; Pardon
Urged for Mooney
BY International News Service

A labor "brain trust" was pro-
posed to the American Federation
Of Labor convention today in a
resolution offered from the plat
form.
Elizabeth Christman. delegate
from the international Glove
Workers Union, suggested a
strategy board of seven men and
women, representatives Of the
main group of industries, to adopt
q national labor policy to rapidly
changing conditions.
Mooney Case Revived
Another resolution, also offered
from the platform, by Delegate
Paul Scharrenburg, secretary OF
the California State Federation Of
Labor, called on the A. F. OF L..
again to express its belief in the
innocence of Thomas j. Mooney
and Warren K. Billings, IN prison
for the San Francisco bombings.
The resolution demanded imme-
diate pardons for the prisoners.
James Rowan, fraternal dele.
gate from Great Britain, attacked
Hitlerism and international bank
ers in an address.
Crisis Blamed on Bankers
Rowan, a justice of the peace
and general secretary Of the Lon
don Electrical Trades Union,
attributed the economic depres-
sion to bankers. He declared the
Hitler movement was backed by
the former ruling classes of Ger
many, who wished to regain their
power.
Rowan asserted that capitalism
apparently was resisting the NRA
movement in the United States.
He suggested an important
move for international peace
would be the gaining of an eco
nomic accord with Japan for limi-
tation of working hours and
abolition of child labor. Such
an accord would be of particular
interest to the United States, he
said.
European New Deal Seen
Rowan concluded by predicting
European nations would initiate
in various ways the New DeaP
American experiment.
Joseph A. Hall. financial secre-
tary of the Yorkshire Mine Work
ers, another British fraternal dele
gate, told the convention that
British labor would follow suit"
If the American NRA succeeded.
The British trades unionist said
President Roosevelt should watch
! out for interference with his pro
gram from Wall Street and the
international bankers.

Maybe the New York Giants
won the first two games of the
series because Postmaster Gen.
eral James A. Farley was root
ing for them.
If that's true, then Washing
ton will win the game today.
True to his pronouncement
last week of impartiality in the
world series, Farley said today
that he rooted for the Giants
yesterday and the day before.
But today he will yell for the
Griffmen.
Warren Schaeffer, Good Spring
(Pa) business man, made sure
that he was going to see this
game.
He drove down, starting about
midnight, and when the gates
were opened went into his re-
served seat and went to sleep
to rest before the game started.
A squad of firemen got a lucky
break. Equipped with hand ex-
tinguishers, they were ordered
to witness the game from the
temporary press box, a wooden
structure built on TOP of the
grandstand.
"PIay The Sidewalks of New
York."
Some Giant fan yelled that
to Meyer Goldman, whose band
arrived at the stadium shortly
after 10 o'clock to entertain the
early corners.
But Goldman refused, ex-
planning:
'This is q Washington crowd.
1t wouldn't be SAFE"
AL Schacht, coach, led the
Goldman Band in colmun-like
fashion for the popular and
appropriate tune Stormy Wea-
ther."
A newspaperman who seated
himself in the Presidential box
temporarily so that the battery
of newsreel comeramen might
focus for the Chief Executives
arrival, created slight stir in
the center field bleachers when
he was mistaken for the Presi-
dent.
Jimmy Mahornery, IL, the
Griffmen mascot, kept warm in
the chilly breeze by working
out with the team.
The band struck up the tune

ened by palcing circus seats in the
triangle.
Up atop the grandstands more
or less ramShackle wooden press
box had been erected. 1t was open
to all the breezes and the fingers
Of reporters and telegraph opera
tors stiffened in the cold.
Women Fans Scarce
The opening Of the gates early
meant little to the great mass Of
the fans. They didn't begin to
pour into the grandstands until
about 1890. Then they came in
droves.
Although there was a sprinkling
of women fans the crowd for the
most part consisted Of men and
thousands of boys.
The area around the stadium
was barred to parkers from early
morning and all cars taking folks
to the park were forced to keep
moving.
The ball park revealed why so
many Senators and Representa-
tives have felt the necessity to
return to Washington during the
last week despite the recess. They
were on hand in droveS.
Diplomats clustered around the
Giant dug-out although their
sympathiets were with the Wash
ington team.
Police Guard for President
Inspector Thaddeus R. Bean led
a contingent of uniformed police
onto the field about an hour
before game time. They stood
in front of the boxes adjacent to
that Of the President.
Painters and carpenters worked
through the night at the stadium.
The Presidential box, where Presi.
dent Roosevelt, members Of his
family, and Cabinet members will
see the game, was decorated and
made ready for the distinguished
party.
just about daybreak two girls
arrived and took their places in
line. They were Catherine and
Margaret Miller, from Balboa,
Canal Zone.
This will be their first big league
game, they explained.
Babes in Arms
A number of other women, two
of them carrying babies in their
arms. took their place in the ever
growing line. Some men started
playing cards to while away the
hours. Others took cat maps.
Hot dog vendors reaped a har-
vest as the breakfastless line de-
manded food.
BY 8 o'clock this morning
traffic in the vicinity Of the sta
dium was jammed, and more
than 300 policemen assigned to
special duty took their posts.
Inspector T. R. Bean. who has
been given police command of
the ball park, assigned so men
to the bleacher gate to prevent
any recurrence of the Tuesday
riot in New York.
The first person to be seated in
the bleachers was James Ander-
son. little 11-year-old crippled boy.
Victim of police auto, the
youngster was pulled to the sta
dium in a coaster by his 13-year-
old brother, Joseph, at daybreak.
William Rodgers, 20, and James
Weeney, 10, who held first place
in the line, gave it up to the Grip
Piled boy and his brother, and
when the gates were opened the
crowd held back until they were
safely through.
