- VERY now and then, even in this
l age of organization and efficiency,
we experience the Old World
thrill Of hearing that real de-
tective has really detected some
thing. In England it is especially the
habit of the popular press to announce
new light on old crimes which Tor
decade or two have been contentedly
left in complete darkness. II our nus
Ting journalists continue these exhuma-
tions and dig up more and more OF these
doubtful or unidentified corpses, there
is every reason to hope that eventually
the police will find a clue to the mys-
terious murder of William Rufus and
deduce step by step the secret story OF
what happened to Julius Caesar.
In the newer countries, from time 10
time, we are startled to hear OF the
arrest of a smuggler whose contrabrand
goods have long been conspicuous on
nearly every dinner table or convention
alIy handed round in every social circle
of the best people. Some gallant and
adventurous agent will descend into the
underworld and drag out OF their dark
and secret den the gang that has been
publicly governing great city Tor the
last four or five years. Such is the tech
nical superiority of modern scientific
methods that traces can now be found
even of the most widespread and world
wide organizations. At any moment we
may hear that the police of Europe or
America have seen with their own eyes
a colossal factory or dump OF dope or
ammunition or have detected Q revolu-
ton while it is actually raging in the
streets. But though detectives may de-
tect armies of gunmen or gangs of revo-
lutionists, there is limit to their lurid
and uncanny power.

 London, Jan 25-Great Britain held the threat of deliberate de- preciation of the pound sterling to throttle American import over the United States government today as a weapon to support prospec- tive demand for cancellation or the British war debt.
 { Chancellor of Exchequer Neville Chamberlain intimated for the first time, when he addressed the Leeds chamber of commerce last night, that sterling might be deliberately depreciated unless there were settlement before next debt pay ment, date, June 15.
 Not only would United States im- ports here suffer from deprecia- ton, but Britain would have the l. adyantage over the United States in world markets.
 Chamberlain spoke to a group of Midlands business men assembled at Leeds, but his remarks obvious ly were addressed to the American government. The resumption of war debts payments, he said, would mean decreased purchases Of American products, either by de- preciating currency or increasing tariffs.
 The chancellor made 1t clear that his government would seek can- cellation at the Washington con. ference. He said, however, that Britain would discuss debt "adjust- ment" with "our American friends whenever they are ready to receive our representatives" ad added that the debt readjustment must involve a final settlement and not involve reopening of reparations.
 If the British delegation pro- poses a lump sum payment. such as suggested today by Italy, 1t was uncertain whether Chamberlain would ask that the sum not exceed Britain's share of reparations set by the Lausanne conference, ap- proximateiy 0.000,000 or wheth- CT he would demand relief for Britain proportional with that granted Germany.
 It was evident that Britain fully realized that President Hoover and President-elect Roosevelt were anx- ious to get her back on the gold standard at almost any cost. The British were therefore shooting at America's weakest spot, observers said, in talking of currency de- preciation.
 The fact that the chancellor was known to have conferred with Prime Minister Ramsay Macdonald before making his speech qualified his remarks as Q preliminary reply to the United States invitation to discuss war debts. A formal reply will be drafted by the cabinet.
 The chancellor said that if debt payments were resumed they could not be made by loans or further shipments of gold.

HOWARD SCOTT
 OF TECHNOCRACY |. FAME IS BROKE
Seeks Funds From His Fol. lowers to Carry on His
 Battle For Pet Problem

New York, Jan 25-(UP)- Howard Scott, once undisputed master of technocracy. turned to his followers to-day for funds to continue his energy survey of the North. American continent.
 Four former associates, now rivals, proceeded with an energy survey of their own, assisted by architects and engineers paid from emergency unemployment relief funds.
 Scott retained the name tech- nocracy and 300 charts represent ing the work accomplished before Professor Walter Rautenstrauch of Columbia university led the schism that split the organization. but nc assistants and financial backing.
 However, he was not worried.
 "Who will finance the survey" he asked jauntily. "Oh, member ships, subscriptions, personal gifts. We haven't had to go to the public for donations yet, and doubt if we will. Who belongs to 1t? Oh why go into that? We only put up few people at time."
 Scott lectures in Chicago to- night. He has several other en- agreements. On his other plans ho was vague beyond insisting "the work will go on." His two remain ing loyal associates of the original technocracy committed, Professor M. King Hubbert of Columbia uni- versity, and Dal Hitchcock, did not shed additional light.
 But at Columbia where Dr Raul tenstrauch and his three com panions in the revolt against Scott were pressing their own. energy survey, the unemployed technicians were bent over drafting tables drawing new charts to replace those turned over to Scott while other assistants delved through mountains of statistics.
 As organizers and managers we have done rather well," pr Rauten- strauch said. "We are starting from scratch, not using one iota of the material gathered before"
 He explained that the Columbia group would make no effort to ar- rive at panacea for economic ills, but would confine itself to gathering facts concerning the machinery of production and con- sumption. The human factor will be disregarded.
 Scott apparently was uncon- cerned by the split in technocracy. He referred to the withdrawal of Routenstrauch, B assett Jones, Frederick L. Alderman and Leon Henderson thus: - "Technocracy accepted the resignation 6f four of it's members"

 Short addresses were delivered by members of the committee and others, all of which went to show that those back of the organiza- ton know what they want and how to move towards accomplish ing their purpose. It is not po- litical organization, and will make a personal attack on no individual man or party.

STATE POLICE HEAD IN MASS. WAS ACCUSED
Capt. Charles T. Beaupre Said to Have Protected Resorts of Slain ''King" Solomon

Boston, January 25 - (UP) = Charges that Captain Charles T. Beaupre, head of the state police, refused to permit raids on resorts of Charles Solomon, slain racket king" were under investigation today.
 In a conference yesterday with Governor Ely, Joseph M. Donovan of Fall River declared that Beau pre- had cancelled plans to raid the Wampanoag Motor Club Inn at North Taunton, operated by Mrs Billie Soloman, the ganAster's es- tranged wife, and gambling house in Hyannis in which Solo, mon had an interest. Solomon was shot to death ear- ly yesterday in a Roxbury night club.
 Governor Ely announced he had called the conference following charges that Sergeant Desmond Fitzgerald, the chief executives 8 personal bodyguard, had warned other state police against making discriminating statements against Beaupre.
 "The statement given me by Mir Donovan was not verified" the governor said after the conference. "He told me that he had been in- formed that Sergeant Fitzgerald talked with one trooper, whose name do not intend to disclose, because of the fact that Sergeant Fitzgerald had stated to me that he has not talked to the trooper mentioned"
 Copies of the charges that Beau- pre- had called off raids on the Sol- omon resorts which, were made be- fore a special investigation board at Fall River, were forwarded to the governor.
 Donovan also charged Beaupre with withholding reenlistment of officers until they promised Ito go through for him."

would have to be found, and 1t could only be found by increasing sales of foreign goods to the United States, or what would come to the same thing, by diminishing pur- chases from America" Chamber lain said.
 Increased sales might be ef- fected by drastic reduction of the American tariff, or in the case of countries off the gold standard, by depreciation of their currencies to terms of gold. Purchases could be insured either by depreciating currency or increasing tariffs against the United States"
