NEW YORK. Nov. 81 G,N.SO
j. P. Morgan was back in New
York today enthusiastic over the
progress of recovery in England
and optimistic over the prospects
of this country-if appearances
mean anything.
The banker was in high COOL
humor when the Majestic reached
quarantine. Certainly he would
see the press. Gone was the old
rule, "Mr. Morgan never gives in
terviews." With regard to Eng.
land, he said::
"They certainly have done
wonderfully we'll with their in
ternal economy over there"
He was quick to avoid any
questions which would compare
England's program of reduced ex-
penditures anG balanced budgets
to the United States.
The man who holds the num-
ber one seat on the New York
Stock Exchange was asked about
the SEC. He smiled and replied:
Il haven't heard. It's work
ing out all right isn't it?"
He was told that Mayor La
Guardia was determined to tax
the Morgan Library. 1t did not
bother him a bit.
He was eager to discuss the
grouse shooting but a little dis
couraged by his hearers ignor-
ance of the technical details of
the sport. He spoke of his trip
over in the Corsair in July. He
said:
"Then Mr.. Junius This SOM
wanted it for the international
yacht races over here SO it
came back"

TRAFFIC LIGHT
INSTALLED

Spurred on by the large death
toll traffic accidents have caused
this year, Traffic Department Off
cials today began installation of
additional signal lights.
Today, six signal lights greeted
motorists at Fifteenth and H
Streets Northeast, replacing the
light now in the middle of the
intersection. With six thorofares,
Florida Avenue, H Street, Mary
land Avenue, Fifteenth Street,
Bennings Road and Bladensburg
Road coming together, the traffic
situation presented a real hazard
in that, automobile drivers often
had rear-end collisions as the light
was placed so that any but the
first of a string of cars had diff
Guilty in seeing it.
The lights will be supplemented
by a program-timer which will
operate them so that they vary
with the time of day, the day of
the week and the flow of traffic.
Friday it is expected that lights
will be turned on at Eleventh and
F Streets Northwest and at Elev-
enth Street and Pennsylvania Ave

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 81
G.N.SO An intensive police was
launched today for seven masked
desperados who, armed with a ma.
chine gun, raided the suburban
Darby offices of the Supplee-Wills-
Jones Milk Company and escaped
with $4,000.
One member of the gang is be-
lieved wounded in the gun play
which resulted in two fingers being
shot from the right hand of Brir-
ton Hickman, 35, foreman of the

A 74-year-old watchman, Jacob
Dentz. who interfered with their
progress, was kicked unconscious
as he reached for his gun.

GIRL SLAYER 8
TRIAL SPEEDED

CLIFTON FORGE, Va, Nov. 81
O.N.SO Nine girls and boys,
schoolmates of Alice Hill, 13, and
her sister, Ellen, 9, who were
brutally beaten to death after
Alice was allegedly criminally at
tackled by a colored man Monday,
were called from their classrooms
this morning.
County officers went to the
schoolhouse to get the statements
of the children, who reported they
saw Phillip Jones. 25, who con-
fessed he killed the girls when
the "debil got into me-" make sew
eral trips between town and his
farm the day the bodies were
found.
Some of the children said Ches'
ter Smith, also held with Jones
Jones' wife, and another colored
man on charges of committing the
murders, was with Jones on these
trips.
The authorities want to bring
the case to trial quickly and are
inclined to believe Jones was as
sisted in the crimes.
Jones denied he criminally at
tackled the older sister. The pris'
oners are being held in Richmond
CVaD Jail to prevent possible mob
violence.
Judge Benjamin Haden said to-
day that trial will probably be
held in Covington, unless a change
of venue is granted.
The local citizens. who gathered
around the city hall Monday night
after the bodies of the slain
children were found, in an at
tempt to seize the colored man
were quiet last night, but gath
cred in little groups discussing
the murder.

CHICAGO, Nov. 81 G.N.S).
Final defense arguments were un-
der way today before Federal
Judge James H. WilkerSon in the
mail fraud trial of Samuel insult,
former utilities magnate, and 16
co-defendants.
Under the schedule worked out
by Judge Wilkerson calling for
the case to be placed in the hands
of the jury next Monday noon,
Defense Attorney Charles E.
Lounsbury today was delivering a
plea in behalf of all II defendants.
Mr.. Lounsbury pleaded the
cause of the aged principal de-
fendant, Samuel insult, as strongly
as he pleaded for his own clients
of the Halsey, Stuart & Co., In
vestment House group, Harold l..
Stuart. Charles B. Stuart, Clar.
ence T. MacNeille, and Frank K.
Shrader.
He cited the refusal of the
Stuarts to make $12,00O,000 when
they might have unloaded stock
at this profit. Another time. he
said, they might have made SIS
100000 instead of taking only
$3,50O,O00 as their profit.
Mr.. Lounsbury told of the sums
these men had invested: Mac
Nellie, $375,OOO; H. L. Stuart,
$4,000; C. B. Stuart, 100000.
and Shrader, $450,000. All of it
was lost, the attorney said.

One of the highlights of The
Washington Times big Christmas
Cheer campaign will be a party
Saturday, December Is. at Loew's
Fox Theater, which all members
of the Good Cheer Club will be
urged to attend.
Arthur Godfley, radio announ-
GER, who, with The Washington

proceeds will go to make this the
best and happiest Christmas
Washington has ever known.
Hazen Lauds Plan
Yesterday Mr.. Godfrey inter
viewed District Commissioner
Melvin C. Hazen to explain the
purpose of the project. Mr.. Hazen
was enthusiastic and promised
the fullest cooperation of all Dis
trict departments. He said:
Personally 1 am tremend-
ously grateful to you boys for
planning such a magnificent
enterprise"
Elaborate plans have been
made through the cooperation of
various District agencies to facili-

Don't Wrap Too Well
Members of the club are warned
not to wrap their gifts too
elaborately. 1t may be necessary

an outgrowth of the Washington

ISLAND DEATHS
UNSOLvED

LOS ANGELES. Nov. 21 G.N.SO
Silence today continued to shroud
the mystery of the Galapagos
Islands.
Thus far nothing new has been
uncovered which would aid in
the Identification of the two de-
composed bodies found on the
beach of lonely, waterless Mar
chena Island in the Galapagos
group.
Letters, written in German,
found near the bodies are in
the hands of Capt. Manuel Rod
rigues, of the San Diego fishing
boat Santo Amaro.
Whether the letters contain
the key to the mystery will not
be determined until the Santo
Amaro puts in her home port,
several weeks hence.
Meantime, the yacht Velero III.
commanded by Capt. T. Allan
Hancock, Los Angeles scientist,
will sail for the islands on Friday.
To Captain Hancock, who
knows all the inhabitants OF the
strange modern eden of the Pacl-
fic, probably will go the task OF
solving the mystery.
The Los Angeles scientist-ex-
plorer and his party of scientists
from the Smithsonian Institution,
plan to go directly to the Gala
pagos Islands. Once there. Cap
tain Hancock, with his intimate
knowledge of every sector of the
group and his acquaintance with
DR.. Frederick Ritter, Dore Koer-
wien, Baroness Bosquet de Wag-
ner. Alfred Rudolph Lorenz, and
Arthur Wittmer and Mrs. Witt
mer, is expected to piece together
the strange tale.
Thus far the two bodies found
have been tentatively identified
as those of Wittmer and Lorenz.
But whatever the answer to the
mystery is it must await solution
until Captain Hancock arrives on
the scene or the Santo Amaro re-
turns to San Diego.

GATHERS VIEWS
Of SOUTHEAST
y GOVERNORS
will Complete Winters Plan
and Submit for Local
Action and Support
By EDWARD B. LOCKETT

WARM SPRINGS, Ga, Nov. 81
N.SO.-President Roosevelt is
drafting a winter relief program
which he will submit to the in
dividual States for approval.
The plan is far from compile
tion, but it will call on the States
to bear a material portion Of the
relief burden this winter.
At the same time. Mr.. Roose-
velt is working out details of his
proposal for enactment Of Fed
eral legislation to provide for
unemployment insurance on a
national scale.
The Executive so advised a del
egation of Southern governors
who called on him at the Lit
tie White House" here. An hour
and a half of informal converse
ton served to lay the Presidents
ideas clearly before them, and
provided the Executive with the
assurance that the States would
be behind him.
ASKS STATE COOPERATION
Governor Elect Bibb Graves Of
Alabama and Gov. Dave Sholtz
of Florida remained in Warm
Springs overnight to confer with
the President again today.
The other State heads who con.
ferred with the President we're
Gov. I. c. Blackwood and Gov.
ernor-Elect Olin D. Johnston of
South Carolina, Gov. Eugene
Talmadge of Georgia, and Lieut..
Gov. A. H. Graham of North
Carolina.
Mr.. Roosevelt approved the
idea behind the work that the
governors intend to do in form
ing the Southwestern Develop
ment Board to carry out an
economic plan for the Southeast.
He suggested grouping of States
for cooperative solution of COM
mon problems.
The meeting gave the Presi-
dent an opportunity for frank,
informal discussion Of unemploy-
ment insurance. He sounded out
the visitors in a conversational
way. Governor Talmadge, who
acted as spokesman after the
meeting, said that no opposition
to the insurance proposal was
apparent.
To Draft Model Law
States must, in the last analy-
sis, decide the question of unem-
ploymenJ insurance. The Presi-
dents plan will call for enact
ment of State unemployment in
surance laws, and the talk with
the Governors provided a "lab-
oratory" where the executive
could determine just how the idea
will be received. Mr.. Roosevelt
made it clear that he intended to
draft a model law after which he
hopes all States will pattern their
laws. The President said he was
whipping the relief program into
shape. R e f Administrator
Harry Hopkins will come here for
a conference before the President
leaves.
