COUNTESS SAYS
NOT GUILTY

Pleas of not guilty were entered
by Countess Grace de Benque and
George A. Gormley today when
arraigned in District Supreme
Court on the charge of grand
larceny. Both were remanded to
Jail.
They were indicted for the al
legged extortion of approximately
$4,000 from Miss Louise Maret,
head of a fashionable school,
whom Gormley allegedly maneu-
vered into a compromising posi-
tion.
Appearing in court in a wide
purple hat, adorned with large red
flowers, and wearing a dark,
brightly flowered dress, the
countess appeared even less quiet
than her clothes.
While attorneys argued for a
reduction in the $4,000 bail de-
manded for Gormley and the SIS
900 for her release, she fidgeted
nervouSly and whispered to her at
torney, George Strong. Chief
Justice Alfred A. Wheat refused to
lower the bonds.

In Operation Soon
Hugh johnson, noted New York
economist, will take charge of
the gigantic machinery set up
by this measure and viii build a
skeleton organization and put it
into operation while Mr.. Roose-
velt is on a. two-week outing be-
ginning tonight.
The bank measure will bring
about a great many changes in
present banking laws and will
provide for insurance of deposits
of all banks in a sound condition
beginning next January.
The major features of the
measure are directed to block
undue diversion of Federal Re-
serve sredits into speculative
channels and to divorce security
affiliates from national banks.

NOME, Alaska, June 16.-Con-
Germ deepened today for "Smil-
ing" Jimmy Mattern, from whom
nothing has been heard since he
hoped off alone in the Century
of Progress Wednesday from Kha-
barovSk, Siberia, bound for Nome.
Forty-seven hours have elapsed
since Mattern's departure. The
2,4OO-mile perilous trip was esti-
mated to require about 16 hours.
Mattern's gas supply was esti-
mated by local aviators to have
a maximum limit of about 35
hours.
Forced Back Once
Mattern's route along the ST.
berian coast and over the Aleu-
tian Islands covers one of the
most deSolate and isolated por-
tions of the world, and it was
considered possible that he may
have landed safely at a point
inaccessible to communications.
Two days previous to Mat
terms hopoff from Khabarovsk
at 1880 a. m. Wednesday, p. s. T
(2.3O p. m. Washington time), he
essayed the same trip but was
forced back by unfavorable wea-
ther.
Although clouds hung in thick
patches over the treacherouS Ber-
ing Sea, it was believed Mattern
could have found safe landing
place.
Recall AlIen-MOyle Hop
Aviators recalled the adventures
of Cecil A. Allen and Don Moyle,
two Americans who attempted the
transferring hop several years ago
but were forced down on an un-
inhabited Aleutian Island. They
were given up as lost for several
days. However, the two obtained
fuel from a passing boat and made
their way to the North American
continent and safety.
Veteran Alaskan aviators ex-
pressed belief the Texas airman
may have turned back to Siberia

HITS CAR,
DRIVER BRUISED

]. D. L. johnson drove his
automobile onto a grade crossing
today, was struck by a fast train,
and lived to tell about it.
johnson, who lives in the 1900
block Connecticut Ave. N. w.,
was crossing the track about half
a mile north of Branchville, Nd,
when he saw a fast Baltimore
and Ohio mail train less than 100
feet from him. He speded up
but the train hit the right rear
corner of the cars frame and
threw the vehicle into a ditch.
The car was practically de-
molished and Johnson was
thrown out, suffering a scratch
on the nose and bruises to his
arms and legs. State Policeman
E. R. Quandt said witnesses told
him the engineer did not whistle
for the crossing.

NEW SESSION
Of CONGRESS
DUE SOON
Call for September Expected
To Act on Debts, SeaWay
And League Court

Reports that another special
session is in prospect for next
September circulated on Capt.
tol Hill today as weary men,
bers of Congress packed their
bags to go home.
These reports were to the effect
that three important issues af-
fecting foreign relations would be
submitted. One would be a new
foreign debt settlement: another
the st. Lawrence waterway treaty
between the United States and
Canada; and the third, American
adherence to the League Court.
Debts Require Action
The foreign debt issue would
require action by both Houses
while the st. Lawrence and World
Court pactS would rest with the
Senate alone.
Friends and foes of the League
court agree that the debate on
this issue would last several weeks.
An equally bitter fight is in pros
pect over the st. Lawrence treaty.
And any plan for further re-
vision of the debts owed the
United States would meet pro-
longed and stormy opposition.
The st. Lawrence treaty,
favorably reported by the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee,
died on the executive calendar
last night.
The Administration exerted
pressure early in the session for
ratification of the League Court
protocol but such intense Senate
opposition greeted this move that
efforts to bring the protocol out
Of committee were abandoned.
Conversations Begin Soon
Conversations looking toward
adjustment of the foreign debts
are in prospect following Presi-
dent Roosevelt'S return from his
vacation trip up the New Eng
land Coast. They will be held in
Washington.
President Roosevelt's "honey.
moon" session of the overWhelm-
ingly Democratic Seventy-third

Roosevelt Signs Three Bills
Speeding Recovery

In a history-making half hour,
President Roosevelt today wrote
into law the great legislative
measures he hopes will bring in
dustrial recovery to a nation dis
tressed by economic troubles.
Beginning at 11:45 a. m. he
signed the Glass-Steagall bill, ef-
fecting sweeping banking reforms
and designed to prevent use of
Federal Reserve credit in sky-rock-
eting stock markets.
At 1854 a. M, the President
signed the industrial recovery bill,
with its gigantic $3,3O0,OOO, 900
public works program, and OBJ
served it was the most important
and far-reaching piece of legisla-
tion ever enacted by Congress.
Recovery Bill Vital
At 1905 p. m. he signed the
railroad coordination bill, de-
signed to reshape the nations
great rail lines. simplify opera
ton. and reduce overhead.
The recovery bill was framed
to bring about a partnership be-
tween the Federal Government
and industry and repeals certain
phases of the present antitrust
laws in order to allow close CO.
operation between trade associa.
tions and governmental boards.

Circuit Judges Hold LoWeIl,
Who Freed Suspect, Erred
In Granting Writ

BOSTON, June 16 (T.N.S.).
The issuance of a wit OF
habeas corpus by Federal
Judge James A. Lowell to
Gorge Crawford, negro
wanted in Loudoun county,
Va, on charge of murder
ing Mrs. Agnes Boiling Ilsley
and Mrs. Nina Buckner, was
overruled today by the United
States Circuit Court Of Ap-
peals.
The justices of the court hand
ed down an opinion stating that
the district court "erred" in is
suing the writ and ordered Craw-
ford remanded into the custody
of the Massachusetts State police
for execution of the extradition
papers which had been signed by
Governor Joseph B. Ely.
The action of the famous juriSt
stirred up a controversy with de-
mandS for impeachment Of the
judge voiced in Congress.
On May "a, when Judge Lowell
granted the writ, he stated that
the indictment brought against
Crawford in Virginia was void on
the ground that negroes we're not
called to serve on grand and petit
juries in Virginia.
BOOtjack Weapon
Crawford was indicted by a
Loudoun county (Va.) grand jury
for the double Staying of Mrs.
Ilsley, wealthy Middleburg sports
woman, and her elderly maid,
Mrs. Buckner, on January 13,
1882.
The bodies of the two women
were discovered that morning by
the brother of Mrs. Ilsley, Paul
Boeing, in the cottage at the
rear of the Ilsley Middleburg es.
tate. Both women had been
beaten to death with an iron
bootjack, used as a doorjam by
Mrs. Ilsley in her bedroom.
Threatened Revenge
Suspicion was directed to Craw-
ford by stories of his animosity
toward Mrs. Ilsley. He had threat
ened to "get her." it was re-
ported, after his discharge from
her service.
Crawford, a former convict, had
been released from the Virginia
State Penitentiary, where he was
serving a term for second degree
murder, at the instance of DR..
Richard Holt, Mrs. Ilsley's physi-
clan.
The doctor at the time was
occupying the Ilsley cottage.
Later, after the death of Mrs.
Ilsley's husband, Spencer 1lsley,
Milwaukee banker, she herself
took possession of the cottage.
The mansion house.. until a
few days before the murder, was
leased to Miss Katrina McCor-
mick, daughter of the former
Mrs. Ruth Hanna Mccormick,
Miss Mccormick had relinguished
possession of the house and re-
turned to Washington.
Paul Boeing had been sleeping
at the house after Miss McCor-

London Reports Continue as
Currencies Rise and Fall;
ParIey in Recess
By GEORGE r. HOLMES

LONDON, June 16 (I.N.S.).
Despite denial Of Secretary Of
the Treasury Woodin in Wash
ington that an agreement for
currency stabilization has been
reached in London, a we'll
founded feeling spread through
financial circles here today that
some form of control to limit
exchange fluctuations is immi-
nent pending de jure stabiliza:
ton.
Financiers here interpret Wood
ms denial that an agreement has
been reached as applying to de
jure stabilization only, and be-
lieve that it does not rule out
an agreement to control fluctua'
tions and keep the American, dol
lar at about 81 to the pound for
the duration of the World Eco
nomic Conference.
The dollar, after opening at
$4.O5 to the pound sterling and
continuing a marked improve
ment shown yesterday, declined
to close at $4.0734. 1t had touched
as high as $4.0312 at II a. m.
In an atmosphere of hope
mingled with confusion and some
disputes over methods Of pro-
cedure, the economic conference
organized itself into two main
commissions today and then re-
cessed for the weekend to permit
leaders to thresh out details.
The committee meetings today
were marked by a general desire
to get somewhere speedily, but
no one seeed to know just how.
Gentlemen, let us go to
work." so said James M. Cox,
of Ohio, in presiding as chair
man at the first meeting Of the
monetary and financial COM
mission.
But opinions were so varied
as to which direction the work
lay that they decided to quit un-
til Monday.

RALLIES, DROPS
RULE STOCKS

NEW YORK, June 16 Q.N.S0.
The stock market was violent
affair of rally and reaction in the
face of Secretary Woodin's denial
Of a dollar stabiliZation pact in
London and the adjournment Of
Congress.
The Washington developments
brought only a temporary re-
covery at the opening which, for
short time, saw stocks up as
much as 3 points from the pre-
vious close.
Spectators, however, were still
unnerved by the extent of yes
terday'S collapse and threw their
stocks on. the market again
despite the Treasury's reassuring
statement, which was accom-
panied by a brisk rally in for
eign currencies under the leader
ship of sterling.
The second hour saw another
avalanche of selling which paral-
leled the one at the close yes
terday. Leading issues dropped
! to 10 points.
Cotton alone of the commod-
tiles resisted the down trend and
held part of early gains of 81
a bale. Wheat Slumped more
than a cent a buShel before
rallying. Bonds were down in
sympathy with stocks.
The rails received support
around midday from the optimis-
tic statements of the head of
Louisville & Nashville. N. Y.
Central, however, failed to recap
ture the buoyancy of the last
two days and this gave the whole
carrier group an unsettled tone.

NEW YORK. May 6. "A fancily
mineographed handout arrived from
Mr.. Dave Driscoll today, announcing
plans for a golden jubilee to cele-
brate the fiftieth anniversary Of
the Brooklyn Robins baseball club.
The celebre ton will take place
May u at Eobets field, where. half
a century ago, the first Brooklyn
team defeated Trenton in an inter-
state league game. The Cincinnati
Reds will take Trenton's place next
week, the Robins having picked the
Reds with malice
The golden jubilee should be
whaling success, for, judging by the
schedule. much thought has been
spent in devising something new
and novel in the way of entertain
ment. There will be a band. La
dies will be admitted free. Souve-
Mrs viii be given to all the spec
tators, and the athletes of both
teams will compete in such unique
contests as fastest time circling
bases, fastest time from home TO
first base, fungo hitting contests,
long distance throwing contests,
throwing baseball into barrel =
home to second base, and throwing
baseball through hoop pitchers
box to home
The Robins being one Of our ia
vorite teams, we made a trip TO
the library and ran through the pa
pers of May u, 1888, for accounts
of that first day. The World had
this to say:
THE opening of the baseball park
and athletic grounds at South
Brooklyn yesterday was an event
which brought the most respectable

at a ball match in Brooklyn, and
never before were so many ladies
seen at a professional match either
in New York or Brooklyn. More
than 5000 people passed through Tie
gates. The attendance was simply
phenomenal and shows conclusively

POULTRYMEN
GIVEN ADVICE
UPON CULLING

Principles of culling non-product-
i've hens from laying flocks were de-
monstrated to a group of valley
poultrymen yesterday afternoon by
H. Lee Landerman, assistant coun-
ty agent. The meeting was held at
the I. H. Shaw ranch, north of
Sandia.
Poultrymen attending were urged
by Landerman to dispose of I'M
profitable birds as soon as detec-
ted, as an increased average pro-
duction and a smaller feed bill
mean greater profits.
Generally speaking" said Lam
derman, "culling should begin now
and continue through until early
fall, when the flock should be heav-
lily culled. Management of the
poultry, of course. influences to a
certain extent the time of culling.'
In an open forum discussion of
factors entering into maintenance
of high egg production, interest
among poultry raisers was especi-
ally high in newer feeding methods.
Landerman explained that the
most successful methods at pre-
sent called for a lower protein con-
tent than has formerly been adj
vised. He pointed out, however, that
the feed problem was largely indi-
vidual, and suggested that no
