GET FAST ACTION
ROOSEVELT ORDERS
PARLEY DELEGATION
Americans Sail Wednesday For
Economic Conference At
London June II
WILL NOT DISCUSS DEBTS
President to Handle That Phase
OF Negotiations From
Washington
WILL NOT DISCUSS DEBTS

Washington, May 81. - R - The
United States delegation Wednesday
headed for the world economic confer
ence at London with one final, terse
instruction from President Roosevelt:
Get fast action and cut the speeches
short.
On that, the diversified group Of
spokesmen and technical aides set out
to translate into accomplishment
Roosevelt's bold bid for world con-
cord, stabilization of currencies, lower
tariff barriers, higher prices, more
credit, employment and business.
Behind their campaign at the con-
ference opening June IL were the
painstaking consultations with for
eign leaders at the white house and
state department, upon (which the
president had staked much of his hope
for success.
Boarding an early morning train to
make the two o'clock (E.S.T.) sailing
Of the S. S. President Roosevelt, the
group was headed by Cordell Hull,
secretary OF state.
The other delegates, some named at
the eleventh hour. were James M. Cox,
of Ohio, Democratic candidate for the
presidency a dozen years ago and a
friend OF the League of Nations: Sen
ator Key Pittman Of Nevada, and
Representative Sam D. McReynolds OF
Tennessee, ohairmen Of the senate
and house foreign relations commit
tees: Ralph. w. Morrison Of San An
tonic, Roosevelt backer and developer
of power projects along the Mexican
border.
Couzens Sails Next Week
The lone Republican so far named
to go-Senator James Couzens Of
Michigan-is to sail a week hence as
his acceptance of appointment only
Tuesday left him no time to prepare
The president intends to name one
more Republican, preferably men,
Der Of the house.
Hull and his associates left the
question of war debts behind. for the
president intends to deal with this
delicate subject personally. Install
lnents totaling $144,000.O00 are due
June Is and Roosevelt Is holding fast
for payment despite the strong indi-
cations Of default just as the world
conference-gathering of some go ma
tions comprising virtually the entire
civilized world-gets down to business.
Many here believed the success of
the London conclave will depend
greatly on successful clearing of the
debt hurdle. The topic, however, Is
specifically barred from the program.
Back Of the American campaign for
worldwide adoption OF raising
policies will be the argument that un-
less these are adopted the United
States will have to resort to still high .
er tariffs to preserve the increased
price and wage standard sought in the
domestic program now under way.
To make it possible to raise or low
er tariffs, depending on whether the
world powers concur, the president
intends to ask congress this week for
power to alter the duties.

Reminiscent Of Big Chi

New York, May 31.-<P-Gunmen
who copied crinsoned page from
Chicagos book Of crime fled into hid
ing Wednesday after killing one man
and wounding five persons.
Employing the technique of the st.
Valentines day massacre of Chicago,
four killers lined 10 men and Is
year -old boy against the wall of the
Castle Cafe, tiny eating house, late
Tuesday night.
"Now, you rats" they said, how do
you like this?"-
They poured pistol voley into
their victims and fled while the teem-
ing east side neighborhood screamed
In panic.
Police found Charles Buster" Do
minico dead and two men seriously
wounded. The other two men who
were shot escaped with minor hurts,
as did Bernard Blaustein. Is. Five of
those lined up were not hit by bullets.
Curiosity put the boy before the
murder squad. He was standing out
side the cafe when he saw the killers
enter. AS he drew near to peer In,
the door was flung open.
Come in," one of the gunmen said.
The boy entered and was lined up
with the men.
Police, seeking motive, pointed
out the resemblance to the st. VAL
entine's day massacre Of several years
ago-only that celebrated crime was
more CORY. Killers, lining seven foes
against the brick wall of a garage,
cut them down with machine gun
fire.
Another wanton killing Tuesday
night marred New York's drive to

sitting in an automobile with young
woman, was shot through the mouth
when he objected to language used by
two robbers who had taken the girls

police between fits of sobbing that
she and Mehling, timekeeper had

car two men jumped in, pushed
Mehling from behind the steering
wheel and drove away.
They took the girls purse, and were
searching Mehling when he rebuked
them for their language and began
to struggle. They shot him, tossed the
body out and threw the girl after
him.

new YORK, April 14.-Millions have
Dang about it, but only two had real
canss to pine for Sweet Adeline"
They were Harry Armstrong and

kicked themselves as chumps when she

in her.

Her fair face beams now on both of
them. For, coming back as she has to

they could renew the copyright which
ran out a couple of years ago.
Armstrong is still composing popular
music, in his own Office on Broadway.
Gerard will retire in a couple of years
as a postal clerk
AS one indication of how sweet sweet
Adeline" can be. Armstrong relates that
he and Gerard now collect $100 every
time a movie actor MARBLES so much as
one single bar. 1t makes up partly for
the years in which they could listen to
the song with only a detached interest.
They wrote Sweet Adeline" 80 years
ago. Armstrong conceived the melody
for the chorus five years earlier When
he was spending his spare time striking
chords with lamp post quartets IN

''The Cows in the Clover Go Moo,

lNCENDIARISM BLAMED

SIMSBURY, Conn, April 14.-The
second fire in three days destroyed an
other large dormitory at the Ethel
Walker School, fashionable preparatory
and finishing school for girls, last night.
State police, after questioning several
men, said the fire was of incendiary
origin.
The fire, discovered while 100 stud
ents were in the dining hall on the
main floor, leveled the four story frame
building known as the Four Corners.
All the students filed out of the dining
hall without disorder.
The structure, containing sleeping
quarters for freshmen, was about a
quarter of mile from the Beaver
Brook Building which was destroyed
Tuesday afternoon at loss estimated
by school officials at $200,000 Last

called paper dollars would destroy
the effectiveness Of the move.
But middle of -the-roaG economists
see in it a chance of restoring farm
buying power if it is necessary. And
some impartial men fear that con-
gress itself, with a reported ma
iority for initiation, will make
mandatory some even more drastic
currency expansion.
On the subject of prices, 1t is
represented here that the Presl-
dents aim is not so much par
ticular high set of prices, but
reimbursement. 1t is pointed out
that some prices, farm products
especially, react quickly to symptoms
of a depression.
Prices go down quickly, but the
farmer, under the old system, can
not reduce his output-aS he is sup
posed to under AAA. He must pro-
duce more or quit buying. But some
industries, such as the automobile
manufacturers and the steel makers,
in the past have merely reduced
output, closed plants, and reduced
pay rolls. Prices did not fall in
these lines as farm prices did.
The double barreled idea of the
Roosevelt program is to improve
the low farm prices and increase
the production of the f1Xed-price
industries. 1t was in the latter eff
fort that Mr.. Roosevelt personally
interceded to force down the fixed
price of steel rails.
