be returned against Mrs. Rogers today
for taking the 6-weeks-old daughter
of Mrs. Madeline Sneed, 81, from its
home May 81.
Physicians who examined the woman
at the direction of the county prose-
cutor said the woman had suffered
from belief she was about to have
child and that realization that she was
mistaken left her with a desire to
possess a baby nevertheless.

Expressing 'unalterable opposition" to
repeal of the eighteenth amendment,
Maj. A. v. Dalrymple, prohibition ad-
ministrator, told the House Ways and
Means Committee today that legaliza-
ton of naturally fermented wines would
increase respect for law and bring
needed revenues to the Treasury.
Dalrymple was testifying in support
of the Lea bill, which would legalize
wines of from II to II per cent alcohol
by volume and tax the new beverage
20 cents per gallon.
MY observations as director of pro-
hibition lead me to think that the
passage OF this bill would have a very
wholesome effect upon enforcement as
a WHOLE" Dalrymple said.
THE sale of 80 beer has very ma
terially reduced bootlegging. 1t also has
created a feeling Of favor for enforce
ment which the law did not have be-
fore. Liberalization of the wine laws
would have the same effect"

SENATE APPROVES
MORGAN TAX QUIZ
Van SWeringen Brands Such
Procedure as "TerrificaIIy
Destructive"
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Senate unanimously today voted
more power for its investigation of
private banks and bankers, and soon
thereafter o. P. Van Sweringen as a
witness in the j. P. Morgan & Co.
inquiry characterized such procedures
as "terriflcally destructive"
"All business is of greater volume
than a year ago." he had remarked,
interrupting a long series of questions
on involved financing of the extensive
Van Sweringen railroad enterprises and
the part taken by the Morgan Bank.
Referring to rail operations, he added,
That's all we need" in connection with
expanding business.
Business needs encouragement and
not frightening" he went on philo-
sophically.
IF I may speak frankly these in
vestigations are terrifically destructive" :"
A moment later he said, II should not
have said that. I did not mean these
investigations, but" He never finished
the sentence.
j. P. Morgan, chief object of the in
quiry. sat back among waiting witnesses
smiling.
Tax Probe Permitted.
AS today's hearing opened, the Sen
ate meanwhile was putting through the
resolution giving the committee power
for examination of stock transactions by
which partners of the Morgan firm re-
duced their income taxes. There was
not ripple of opposition
The attitude the Morgan partners will
take as a result of the latest Senate
move to uncover the income tax re-
ducing transactions remains to be seen.
Their counsel, John w. Davis, refused
to commit himself, but did say that If
the challenge of authority is carried
further, the procedure will be for
Thomas S. Lamont-a young partner
to refuse to answer questions.
THAT will put it up to the Senate
and will provide the means for test,
he told reporters.
In offering his resolution yesterday,
Chairman Fletcher of the Banking
Committee, assured the Senate it would
provide ample authority for the COM
mittee to get at the facts and those

NEW YORK, June 8.-The newest
thing in street cars made its first public
appearance today.
The car, built for greater speed and
less noise, cost half million dollars,
big part of which is represented by three
years OF experimentation sponsored by
q group of 25 electric railway systems
Builders of the new car gave dem
onstration in Brooklyn today to show
that its improvements eliminate most
of the jerks and clatter Of older models.
The model demonstrated today had an
old body which is destined to be re-
placed in the finished car by one-piece
metal body.
Developments found successful in au-
tomotive design have been applied for
the hrst time to the street car The

greatly reduced.
Rubber sandwiches" between steel
parts which formerly ratified against
one another have been extensively used
and the entire truck has been lightened
There also are resilient wheels" called
that because of the rubber in their
makeup.
1t is claimed that the car will start
from 10 to IS per cent quicker than
the most modern automobile. Much
attention also has been paid to the
braking system, so that stopping does
not interfere with the passengers COM
fort even if he is ''standee."
So much of the noise has been elimi-
mated. engineers pointed out, that the
lcudest sound when the car is running
comes from the overhead trolley wheel
as it skins along the wire. Special
motors and controls permit high ac-
celeration and there Is worm gearing

MAY OFFER
j. s. SILVER ON DEBT
Roosevelt Seeing Lindsay
Today and Obligations
Will Be Discussed.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, June 8.-Rumors were cur
rent today in London financial quarters
that Great Britain may prefer the mid
June payment to America in silver in
stead of gold, but it was authoritatively
stated that no decision Of any sort
regarding the debt will be taken until
tomorrow's cabinet session.
One version of the rumored story Is
that part-perhaps large part-of
the payment will be in silver.
1t was pointed out that with the
passage of the Roosevelt gold suspension
bill the American President will have
authority to accept in payment any
coinage generally acceptable as money
in the United States.
Few Expect Default
There seems to be little real ex
pectation in the British press that the
payment will be defaulted. There has
been some talk of offering token pay
ment, say of 100000, but President
Roosevelt's authority to accept such an
offer is questioned.
There is little doubt that the payment
il made, will be accompanied by note
reaff1rming the old opposition to fur
ther transfers and stating that Great
Britain regards this installment as to-
ward the capital account, as was the
case last December Is.
