Scathing Editorials Print ed in British Papers
 About Lynchings

London, Nov 29-(UP)-Ameri- can lynchings to-day provided the British newspapers with their most sensational headlines, and pro- yoked scathing editorials in many publications.
 over detailed account of the California and Maryland incidents, by photographs ra-- dioed to London, the Mirror placed a three-word "banner." It read Trial by Fury"
 Even the violence of the mob, y said the Manchester Guardian, "seems less outrageous than the applause won by Governor. Rolph."
 The Guardian recalled the gov ernor's attitude on the Mooney ease, contrasted to his action in the present instance.
 These blood bowling men and women have not distinguished themselves as being much above the wretches they destroyed said the Daily Express.

CITY GRAND LIST WILL HAVE DROP
 OF $l,OOO,OOO
This Will Probably Inter- fere With the Reduction
 of the City Taxes

Waterbury's grand list upon which the 1894 tax rate will be fig ured will register a drop of about $1,O00,000. according to advance reports emanating from the City Hall. The members of the board of assessors. who have been work ing on tentative figure for the grand list, are reported to have found this to be the situation. With this in view, the city officials are faced with hard task to carry out their original plan to drop the tax rate to the extent of about a mill.
 Members of the board of fi- nance will go into session Friday for the purpose of studying the 1884 budget. The figures have been compiled by Executive Secre- tary Thomas r. Kelly and now the tentative budget is ready for perusal by the commissioners.
 The present tax rate is 325 mills. It has been the hope of the administration to drop the rate to 31.5. if possible. However, this plan was anticipated before the tentative grand list was com piled by the board of assessors. Yet, the administration has not given up hopes of dropping the rate, although fear was expressed by one city official today that even keeping the rate as it is now will be hard one unless more slashing is done in the budget.
 The 1894 budget will go to the aldermen next Monday night. They will not, it is expected, adopt it at that time, but, instead. will re- fer it to special committee for study. In the meantime, between Friday and Monday, the finance commissioners will study the ten- tative 1883 figures and attempt to keep the 1894 running expenses down as low as possible.

DRUGGISTS MAY
 GO INTO COURT
Attorney General Ruled Against Them, So They
 Will Fight Case

Hartford, Conn.,, Nov. 29-(UP) An early test of the state liquor control law, as it applies to drug stores, was foreseen today when the attorney general ruled on con- troversial matters which have arisen among the board, the state phar- macy commission and the drug gistS.
 The liquor board has held that it will not issue licenses of more than one classification to any in- dividual or concern. The druggists demand the right to sell both as a package store and on permit which allows them to both fill pre- scriptions calling for alcohol and dispense whiskey In less than quart packages.
 Today the attorney general held a druggist could not fill prescrip- tions without a permit, and also that if he violated the law he would face revocation of his per init. Thus, it appears a druggist may operate as package store, or may handle prescriptions, hut may not do both.
 The druggists already have em- ployed attorneys to plead their case before the liquor board, and it is now expected they will carry the matter into court.

LOUISIANA HAS
 BIG SIDE-SHOW
Two Ring Circus as Sen= ator Long Controversy
 Continues to Spread

New Orleans. Nov 29-(UP)-- Louisiana's pol tical side-show boasted two rings today instead of one,-the senate subcommittee inquiry into Huey P. Longs regime here, and a spectacular revolt a. gainst him in the sixth conGression- al district at Eaton Rouge.
 The senatorial inquiry here was drafted into comparative insig- niticance by the tom-tom beating at the state capital, where thou sands of irate democrats met last night and defied long, backed Gov. o. k. Allen on the matter of a special election to fill vacancy caused by the death of Congress- man Bolivar F.. Kemp.
 It was a noisy gathering at Ba- ton Rouge. Speakers were inter rupted by cries of lynch 'em' and give 'em the rope" from the floor. A movement to institute impeach- ment proceedings against the Allen administration was launched at the meeting by F.. M. Whitman. anti long leader, who demanded feder- al intervention.
 '"The federal government can, II Unnecessary, declare martial law ana maintain it until d representative form of government has been re- stored to Louisianna,' whitman said.

Aldrich said in response to @ ques- tion by Senator Couzens, repn, Mich.
 "A money market was created which was very largely responsible for the difficulties of the banks"
 Aldrich was heading a lengthy statement calling for a new deal in banking when Couzens inter- rupted him.
 In his statement Aldrich conl- plained sharply of the 'unsound money market" prevailing during the boom and challenged anyone to show the bankers themselves were responsible for it.
 Aldrichs statement was a formal proposal to the committee that federal legislation be more far- re9ching to protect the public against banking operations which result in serious losses to investors and depositors. He repudiated, without mentioning names, boom- time banking methods.
 The banker said his proposals were to prevent mistakes and abuses of the past and to recon struct our financial machinery.
 Washington, Nov 19-UP )- Ferdinand Pecora, senate banking committee counsel, announced to- day that investigation of the Chase National Bank would be completed next Monday with testimony on the banks part in the $21,500,000 f. nancing of the Lincoln building in New York

THIS CITY MADE
 SECOND PLACE
 IN HOME LOANS
Reached the 100 Mark in Completed Loans of
 Loan Corp

Waterbury today became the second city in the northeastern United States to reach the 100 mark in completed loans through the Home Owners Loan corpora tiop and at the same time saw that total value of loans pass con- siderably beyond the $400,000 mark to eclipse practically every city in the east. New Britain S homo loan office completed its tooth loan this week, but the fact that title searches are reported on 24-hours daily in the Hardware city makes this city's record stand out.
 Manager John Burns of the To- cal office signed the papers for the tooth loan at the offices in the fed eral building today, thereby bring ing his offices more than a month ahead of his own quota of 100 loans by the Christmas holidays.
 First actual bonds of the Home Owners Loan Corporation are ex- pected in the state by the end of the week, with the local office ex- pected to have many of the earliest ones come into this territory. One of the first should be received through the Thomaston Savings Bank, which is in the Waterbury area.
 The authorizations which have been given out thus far can be ex- changed for the actual bond. Inter- i'm notes should be signed in the presence of witness, guaranteed by a bank and sent to the Curren- cy and Loan Division, U. S. Treas ury Department. Bonds will then be forwarded to the owners direct from the treasury.
 Through the efficient work of the local Home Loan office, this city has secured more federal funds through loans than almost any city it's size in the nation. The funds have enabled the payment of taxes to the municipal govern ment, and the saving of many homes from mortgage foreclosure.
 An extremely large number of loans are still being worked on at the local office, and the city's total should continue to rise very stead fly Should the state or federal officials be able to erase much of the red tape surrounding loan transactions, scores of loans could be completed very rapidly here.

Alfred E. Smith Has Answered The Charges
Calls Statement About Morgan Absolutely False Monsignor Carroll of New York Defends
 Smith From Attack Made on Him

New York, Nov. 29 - (UP) = Father Charles E. Coughlin's charge that the anti-administration monetary stand of Alfred l.. Smith was influenced by his deal- ings with the House of Morgan, was denounced today as "abso- lutely false' by the former New York governor.
 As the militant priest returned to his Detroit home after his viz orous support of the administra- tion at the Hippodrome Tuesday, Smith issued a statement denying he had ever borrowed money from the Wall street financier, and de- nouncing the clergyman for bear ing false witness against thy neighbour" .<.....s
 Prominent Catholic clergymen joined in the rebuke to Father Coughlin. criticising his attack on Smith and the American Fedora ton of Labor, and charging that he had spoken here without seek ing the customary sanction of New York diocesan officials.
 'I find no fault with Father Coughlin when he disagrees with my views concerning sound money; that is his right" Smith said. 'I insist on the right of free speech for myself and I would be the last one in the world to attempt to deny 1t to anyone else.
 "The country's monetary policy is subject upon which there may be honest differences of opinion; but I do very deeply resent any about me made by Father Coughlin which io not true. and the charge that my position on the monetary question was in any way affected by any loan from J. P. Morgan is absolutely false.
 "So. too. the suggestion that l borrowed money from the House of Morgan to progress construction of the Empire State building or for any corporation with which am connected, is absolutely false.
 "I have never talked with MT Morgan on any subject except our

ALDRICH WANTS CHANGES IN THE
 BANK BUSINESS
Calls for New Deal to Stop Any More Boom Time
 Methods

Washington, Nov 29.-(UP)- Winthrop w. Aldrich, head of the feller-controlled Chase Ma tional bank, to-day called for new deal in banking in formal proposal to the senate stock mar ket committee that additional dras- tic legislation be enacted to pro- tect the public.
 Without mentioning by name AL bert H. Wiggin, deposed head ot the the bank, Aldrich repudiated his boom time banking methods which accumulated a loss of up- wards of 100000 for stock holders in the Chase bank and it's securities affiliates.
 Driving straight into the faces of powerful, organized banking in terests, Aldrich proposed that the Glass -SteaSall bank bill passed last session be strengthened by amend ments and additions. He did not commit himself on the disputed se- curities act which organized invest ment bankers hope to weaken this winter. But he warned of the necessity of more complete sepa- ration of commercial and in- vestment banking than will be achieved under the Glass-Steagal bill.
 Explaining that his insistenct upon separation was not intended as a blanket criticism of invest ment bankers, Aldrich added:
 But in considering legislation aimed at prohibiting practices con- trary to the public interest, it is impossible to draw distinction between the careful and conscien- tious banker who would never

 Dr. w. L. Thorpe, of the depart ment of commerce, and director of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce.
 Harris Willingham, of the de- partment of agriculture, who is re- sponsible for the drafting of the code.
 The little White House explained that the liquor code was made necessary in order to cover the per iod between December 5 when re- peal becomes legaliZed and the time Congress acts.
 It was pointed out that it was not an experiment, as Congress may not have time to change 1t at this session or may prefer to wait until some time in the future. How ever, it was added that such 8 step was entirely up to Congress.
 MT. Roosevelt said the question of liquor taxes was being studied. It was indicated, however, that no definite decisions have yet been made.

St Joseph. Mo. November 29.--- UP) When I surrendered Lloyd Warner to the mob that burned him last night I did whaC I thought was best for all< con cerned.
 Last January I began serving my second term in Buchanan County. I was sheriff when this jail I now preside over was dedi- cated in 1909. serving four years until 1912. I am now 6S years ol,i.
 No one in St Joseph will charge that l have not always done my utmost to preserve law and order. The rioting came to a climax where I either had to submit to demands or risk the chance of some innocent man falling into the mob's bands.
 Four hours we battled to pre- vent them from entering the jail The wreckage around the jail is the best evidence of this. We used tear gas until we had no more. l could have opened up on the mob with machine guns, but I be- lieved that would only further in- furiate the mob.
