Roosevelt's s Monetary
 Program Criticized
Attorney William Keavney and George Scott Debate
 Winners Declare System Not Producing Results

A red hot debate on the question of President Roosevelt's monetary program was held at the YMCA last night. The team opposing the presidents policy, made up of George J. Scott and William T. Keavney, Jr, 1son a two to one de- cision against their opponents, J. Warren Upson and William w. Vosburgh, Jr. The judges were Raymond J. Tanning, Chase Kim ball and Joseph M. Schaffer. Robert E. Platt, chairman of the educa- tional and industrial committee of the YMCA, introduced the speakers and took charge of the question period following the speeches.
 MT Upson opened the debate with a general discourse on money and a description of how a period of deflation benefited the creditor class at the expense of the debtors, and that a period of imitation had exactly the opposite effect. The sit uation now, he declared, was one i2 which the debtor was finding it diff ficult to pay back money he con- tracted to pay when dollars were plentiful. In a period of imitation, the creditors were obliged to re- ceive easily earned dollars, or dol lars which would not buy so much, in payment of loans made by them when dollars were scarce. It is the presidents aim, said MT Upson, to set up a dollar which twill not fluc- tuate, so that periods. of hardship first for one class and then the oth- CT cannot occur. MT Upson con- tended that the presidents pro- gram for arriving at this stabe dol lar was sound one because it was having the desired effect and could not lead to uncontrolled imitation.
 Atty Keavney and MT Scott, de- clared that to date the president $ gold program had not produced re- suits. The dollar had been devalu- ated 35 per cent, declared MT Scott and commodity prices had risen but 20 per cent. More than that" continued MT Scott" it is my con- tention that rise in commodity prices is owing more to the general upturn in business produced by the MIRA and the AAA than it is to the gold buying program.
 MT Vosburgh charged his oppon- ents with conservatism. "Our op- ponents point out that somebody is going to be hurt immediately by this policy of the presidents. Mo-

 ISSUES WARNING
Calls Attention to Ques= tiOnable Methods in
 the MIRA

Secretary Frank Green of the local Chamber of Commerce and chief aide to the leaders of the Waterbury MIRA committee, re- ceived a notification to-day from William T. Meaney of Greenwich, state chairman of the National Re- covery committee, which may be construed as a warning against a
 'racketeer" idea in MIRA activities. The state chairman intimates that the work of forming local as- sociations for the promotion of NRA work is becoming something akin to a money-making scheme.
 He warns all merchants approach ed to become suspicious of offers Of membership in which unreason- able membership fees are charged. The MIRA does not sanction asso- citations Or chapters where special attention is paid to fees or dues. There can be only one compliance board in any community and that 1 is affiliated with state and nation [ al board. No particular trade or business is permitted by law to form its own compliance board and attempt to regulate business and to demand of it's members the payment of fees.
 Several local and state organ izations have no official standing in 1 the eyes of the state chairman and developments are being awaited to bring the matter to an issue for definite statement and a decision which all special organizations may regard as the attitude of national officials.
 Complaints have been filed here and in Hartford relative to mem- bership fees. The officials attribute the situation to the over zealous- ness of "out of town" promoters and the eagerness of the individual merchant to cooperate on the as- sumption that he is responding to a patriotic call

Famous Prima Donna Seeks Extension On
 Foreclosure Action
Law Day Already Set Back Twice-Judge Jennings Reserves Decision Miss Scheff Now Entertain-
 ing at Hotel Buckingham in New York

For a moment, lawyers filling the superior court room here to-day thought Attorney John H. Cassidy was going to ask witness on the stand to burst forth in Victor Her bert's kiss Me Again.. And if the witness had, it might not have been considered contempt of court for the witness was Fritzi Scheff.
 Unfortunately, Miss Scheff was cast in role far different than the famous part she played and sang in "Mlle Modiste". She appeared peculiarly out of place as she took the stand, still as charming as ever, to testify why a foreclosure instituted by the Colonial Trust Company on her Lake Hitchcock cottng ges should not be entered.
 Attircd in an attractive brown ensemble, her auburn tresses catching the rays of a stray sum beams, Miss Scheff told Judge Newell Jennings she was engaged as hostess in the tap room of the Buckingham Hotel in New York, starting at o'clock this afternoon. She intends to realize enough funds to pay the overdue interest and taxes on the property.
 She took the stand, in the midst of dry civil proceedings and inn mediately the atmosphere changed. She flashed a beaming smile upon Judge Jennings who acknowledged it and proceeded to answer : the questions of her counsel, Attorney William T. Keavney. The latter eX- plained that two previous exten- sions of the law day had been granted when it was shown that Miss Scheff was about to earn funds on the stage.
 She explained that she was un- der contract to a Mir Spellman, who on the other occasions had booked her for attractive roles, but for some unknown reason, the, booking never materialized.
 Attorney Keavney asked the court again to grant Miss Scheff an extension, both for himself and for Miss Scheff. Attorney William J. Lerllin, banks counsel recalled the other two extensions and said he did not believe another exten- sion should be granted.
 When Attorney Larkin finished, Attorney Cassidy stepped forward and asked the court for permission to ray a. few words. Attorney Cas- sidy stated that Miss Scheff was an exceptional woman, that the court was looking upon prima donna and Metropolitan Opera star. At torney Cassidy said even the best of actors and actresses to-day were finding it hard to secure engage ments. He added that Victor Her. bert once wrote a special song for her that became famous the world over. He hesitated, there was brief seconds silence. Was he going to ask her tossing? She appeared per- fectly willing as she sat on the witness stand.
 Attorney Cassidy decided against the idea and then asked the court to grant the extension so that Miss Scheff might save her home.
 Judge Jennings reserved deci- sion.

 Let us all do our part to help the MIRA as this will mean more jobs for the men and women in our city, in our state, and over the en- tire country. We cannot stop now as we can see the wonderful strides which have been made during the past few months, and it will only take a little more pulling to- gether to put this over the top.

Washington-(U -(UP)-The avcrz. age motorist paid a total of S43.2i in assorted special state and fe,l- eraI taxes during 1892. as com pared with $39.74 in 1881, accord- ing to figures compiled by the American Automobile associations

Based on q valuation for all registered motor vehicles of $4.543.767,471 this tax figure means that motorists paid 23 per cent of the value of their property in taxes.
 "The total tax bill consisted of $S73,1 152,919 in state registration and license fees, gasoline and property taxes" said Thomas P. Henry, AAA president, "and $79.- 472,159 in special federal motor excise levies."
