NEW ORLEANS, November 1.-Gus
Menefee. slayer Of a fellow sailor
during the World War, must again
seek clemency at the hands Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt who as Assistant Sec
retary of the Navy saved him from q
firing squad in 1913.
The United States Fifth Circuit
Court of Appeals has revoked Meme
fees freedom with a suggestion that
action on the courts decision must
come from the President.
Menefee was a fireman aboard the
U. S. warship Tanning at sea off the
coast of France on September %. 1918,
when he shot and killed Michael
Gapinski, water tender. who the
record said, was a bully" Menefee
was convicted and sentenced Ito be
shot by musketry"
But President Roosevelt, the Assist
ant Secretary of the Navy, ordered
that the sentence be mitigated to
life imprisonment.
Menefee was liberated from Atlanta
Penitentiary in 1882. on his conten-
ton that he was illegally imprisoned
because President Woodrow Wilson had
not approved the sentence of the court
martial.
The court held that the mitigating
in the sentence had precluded action
by President Wilson.

A warning bv the Agricultural Ad-

area proposing an increase in cost to
the consumer would be investigated
very thoroughly" was met today with
statement by the Maryland-Virginia
Milk Producers Association that 1t was

prices for milk here already we're 2
cents per quart higher than prices
throughout the Nation. promised full
protection to the consumer in the pro-
mitigation of a marketing code and
said no increase in retail prices would
be countenanced till a thorough in
quiry had been made.
Oppose Consumer Raise.
The Milk Producers Association is
sued a statement saying:
Realizing from the figures given us
by our members that the milk pro-
ducers on this market are not getting
cost of production, with feed and prac-
tically everything else the farmer has
to buy having recently materially in
creased in price, this association is
doing everything in its power to in
crease the price of milk to the pro-
ducers as much as that can be done
without making it necessary to in
crease the price to the consumer.
I'VE think this can be done through
a code with the Department of Agri-
culture on which we are working and
which We understand would cut wastes
and unfair trade practices which would
result in considerable saving. all of
which We believe should go to the pro-
ducer under the circumstances"
These developments came as the
Independent Milk Distributors Associ-
alton, which was organized late yes

noon to draft general policies and de-
termine its position with respect to the
marketing agreement now being formu-

Acts.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 26-Richard
Whitney, president of the New York
s toe Exchange, informed Mayor
O'Brien today that If he would veto
the special taxes on brokers, he would
recommend abandonment of the plan
for moving trading to New jersey.
IF you veto the stock transfer and
gross income tax bills, I will promptly
recommend to the Governing Commit
tee of the New York Stock Exchange
and also to the Governing Committee
of the New Jersey Stock Exchange,
which will hold its first meeting today,
that the plan for the opening of a
trading floor in Newark on October 2
be dropped.
"In these circumstances will you
kindly let me know as soon as possible
what action you have taken in regard
to the pending billS?"
In view of the recommendation yes
terday by Samuel Untermyer, financial
advisor to the city and author of the
special taxes, that these levies be abar1-
doned, Wall Street felt that the entire
tax fight had been won, although Mayor
O'Brien had yet to act to make the de-
cision final
The special taxes proposed were a
4-cent per share levy on stock transfers
and per cent tax on gross profits
of brokerage firms.
Mr.. Whitney's letter to the mayor
was made public at the New York
Stock Exchange shortly before noon.

TREASURY HEADS
MUST ANSWER SUIT
Woodin Among Those Or.
dered to Answer Injunction
in U. S. Savings Case.

Justice Let's in District Supreme
Court today signed rule calling upon
Secretary of the Treasury Woodin and
other officials to show cause in court
October why they should not be en-
joined from dispoSing of assets from
the United States Savings Bank in or
der to pay cash dividend to depositors
This move, requested by Col. Wade
H. Cooper, president of the United
States Savings Bank, brought to cli-
max the long-drawn-out fight between
him and the Government over the fu-
ture of this bank
The hearing for an injunction will
be before Justice Jennings Bailey, who
presided in the previous case. in which
Col. Cooper succeeded in having the
United States Savings Bank dropped
from the proposed Hamilton bank mer-
ger. This case is still pending.
Defendants Are Named.

by John w. Staggers and w. Bissell
Thomas, counsel for Col. Cooper are

Await. W. r. Milford, chief of the re-
organization division of the Office OF
Controller of the Currency: w. Irving
Shuman of the reorganization division,
and Wilbur H. Zepp. conservator OF the
United States Savings Bank.
The petition for an injunction was
Col. Cooper's answer to a virtual
promise from the Treasury Department
that steps would be taken to pay
cash dividend to depositors.
Charoes PerSonaI Enmity
In his bill, Col. Cooper charges the
Treasury Department representatives
named as defendants "have incurred
violent personal enmity toward the
plaintiff because the plaintiff has dared
to assert his rights in this court"
The defendants under the injunction
would be restrained from selling, pledg-
ing, transferring, or otherwise in any
way disposing of or incumbering any CT
the assets of the United States Saw
ings Bank.
The defendants are charged by Col.
Cooper with fraud, deception and con-
cealment in the matter of the organi-
zation of the Hamilton National Bank"
He declares the Treasury was threat
ening to Mquidate the United States
Savings Bank" to the irreparable dam
age of the plaintiff.
Possibility OF Treasury action toward
payment of a dividend was revealed in
a letter from Gibbs Lyons, deputy con-
troller of the currency. delivered late
yesterday to Cooper's attorneys, John
w. Staggers and w. Bissell Thomas.
Cooper Changes Plans.
This letter was understood to have
been the cause of quick change in
Col Cooper's plans, as he had previous
ly intended to go to court today with
p mandamus suit to compel the Treas
ury to accept his plan for reopening
the bank alone.
The Treasury and Col. Cooper, how
ever, are far apart in their two differ
ent proposals for reopening the bank.
