Crawford Is Freed
By Federal Judge
On Murder Charge
Jurist Sees No Sense in
Sending Colored Man
Back to Virginia.
BY the Associated Press.

BOSTON, April 24.-Judge James A.
Lowell Of the Federal Court today
granted a writ of habeas corpus free
ing George Crawford, colored, sought
by Virginia on charge Of Staying two
women at Middleburg, on January 13,
1882. The State of Massachusetts, i'm
mediately appealed the finding to the
Circuit Court of the United States.
Judge Lowell said he saw no sense
in sending Crawford back to Virginia
for trial when, If he were convicted.
the Supreme Court would nullify the
verdict on the ground Virginia does
not call Negroes for jury service.
n. why 6en send this tndW Negro and pack to v
knows the Supreme Court will say the
trial Is illegal?" Judge Lowell asked.
THE only ones that would get any
thing out of it would be the lawyers"
Crawford was arrested in Boston and
charged with Staying Mrs. Agnes Boeing
nsley, a wealthy sportswoman, and her
maid, Mrs. Nina Buckner. His arrest
was made almost year to the day
after the staying. Virginia officials
came here to press extradition and Gov
Joseph B. Ely of Massachusetts, signed
the papers.
Counsel for Crawford appealed the
Governors action and filed a petition
for a writ of habeas corpus. They
based their fight on the decision of the
Supreme Court in the case of Neal
against Delaware. They said that
while the Virginia statutes did not dis
criminate against colored persons
serving on juries, in practice they
were never drawn to serve. The at
torneys quoted the decision Of the
fact colored persons were not per-
mitted to be drawn to serve on juries
constituted a mistrial.
Judge Lowell said If Crawford were
taken to Virginia and convicted the
case would be appealed to the Supreme
Court and thrown out. If eventually,
why not now?" he said. He pointed
out that before the hearing both the
State and the defense had agreed that
colored persons did not serve on juries
in Virginia
Referring to Gov. Ely's signing Of the
rendition papers, the Judge said, why
shouldn't I, sitting in this court, have
q different outlook than the Governor,
who simply made sure the papers were
properly drawn? Why send this Negro
back to, Virginia when know and every
one knows the Supreme Court will say
the trial Is illegal? The only ones that
would get anything out Of 1t would be
the lawyers. The whole thing Is abso-
lutely wrong.
"They say justice Is blind, but it Is
not blind as a bat. In this case It
would be. It goes against my Yankee
common sense to have case 60 to trial
and then be thrown out. The whole
thing is a stage play. have no doubt
the defendant would get fair trial in
Virginia, but it is wrong from the start
to send him there when q conviction
would be thrown out"

vorab|y Received.

President Roosevelt today notified

Of its annual convention that he may
call upon the organization to take
part in the national relief program
now under consideration by Congress.
Such a call to service by the Presi-
dent, officials Of the Red Cross said
today, might involve a precedent in
relief work, should the Red Cross be
called upon to administer public funds.
That the Red Cross stands ready to
be at the service of the President "in
any capacity which may best serve our
people during the present emergency
was indicated by the promptness with
which the convention adopted reso-
message from the Chief Executive.

President Roosevelt's communication
to Judge. John Barton Payne. chair
man Of the Central Committee. was
read to approximately 1000 delegates
who attended the formal opening of

1T Is with sincere regret that I find
1t impossible to be with you today, but

tinguished guests from abroad, coupled
with the developments of the domestic
economic program, so fully occupy my

will you please express for me my
deep interest in the work the Red Cross
is doing and the assurance that I can
be counted on to foster and aid every
way in my power the great work your
organization must carry on.
In the national relief program nov
under consideration by Congress the

.FAV0RS STABILIZED
FISCAL SYSTEMS
Support for Adjustment "at
Real Values" Is
Reported.
WILL KEEP FRANC BASIS
Devalorization Barred Until Gold
Ratio Is Fixed by
Other Nations.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, April 24.-Financial
quarters close to the government
said today that France agrees in
principle with American experts
that currencies should be stabil-
lied "at their real value" but is
unwilling to devalorize the franc
under present conditions.
No action toward devaloriza-
tion can be taken, these sources
said, until the gold ratio has been
fixed by other nations and it Is
obvious that the franc is out of
tune.
Government experts, it was said,
fear that battle between the
United States dollar and the Brit
ish pound would result in a world
disaster, and they recognize that
France could not avoid being en-
meshed in such a catastrophe.
Cabinet Expected to Clarity.
Tomorrow the cabinet Is expected
further to clarity the French course.
BY that time three important ministers
now absent from Paris will have re-
turned to consult with Premier Edouard
Daladier. The three are Finance Min
lister Georges Bonnet, Foreign Minister
Joseph Paul -Boncour and Budget Min
lister Lucien Lamoreux.
The government is credited with the
opinion that it is possible to settle the
whole gold question at Washington II
President Roosevelt and Prime Minister
Macdonald determine the ratio Of the
dollar to the pound, leaving France to
decide later whether 1t is necessary to
readjust the franc.
Opinion Rack Of Stand.
Frances firm stand on the present
gold standard, it was explained, Is re-
quired by public opinion which recalls
that the franc was deyalorized four
fifths in 1928 and will not countenance
further devalorization until events
prove its necessity.
World stabilization Of currency, it is
recognized, probably would raise world
prices and IS essential to the return OF
prosperity
There still Is much criticism in the
press of the departure of the United
States from gold. The Par1s-Midi asked
If this move was directed against the
franc, saying France must not allow
herself to be maneuvered"

The White House conferences
on world affairs today broadened
to include France.
Former Premier Edouard Her
riot was scheduled to meet the
President at the White House at
$40 this afternoon. After
brief greeting he will take tea
there and also has arranged to
meet the British prime minister,
Ramsay Macdonald, for a con-
ference there at 6 o'clock.
Meanwhile the President and
Mr.. Macdonald continued their
efforts to reach agreements with
regard to the stabilization of cur
rency and foreign exchange-with
a new gold standard-and to
arrive at some means OF inter-
national disarmament.
M. Herriot, the representative Of
France, with his staff reached WASH
ington yesterday afternoon. 1t is ex-
pected that the distinguished French
visitor, like Prime Minister Macdonald,
will urge an early meeting of the World
Economic Conference, to be held in
London. The conferences here with
President Roosevelt are largely to pre-
pare the better for that conference on
which the hopes of the world are CEN
ic
recognized that there must be some
kind of agreements among the nations,
dealing with trade barriers, foreign ex-
change and the like, on the economic
side, and armaments and security on
the political side, If the world and the
individual nations are to emerge finally
from the great depression which has
them in their grip.
Debt Arrangement in Mind.
The French and the British, debtor
nations to the United States Govern
ment, have in mind some arrangement
with regard to the debts. 1t has been
the demand of Americans, particularly
vociferous in Congress, that any further
debt settlements with the foreign pow
srs be contingent on agreements reached
to advance international trade and
limitation of armament. The practical
side of the matter lies in the fact that
in June new payments of interest and
principal On the debts to the United
States become due. And undoubtedly,
1t Is believed, the question Of what shall
be done about these payments, will
arise in the conversations at the White
House. The debts. after all, constitute
serious political questions in all three
