THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
REAL ESTATE
BOND LOSSES
TO Be PROBED
House Investigators Ready
to Reveal Part of
Explanation.
By United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-House
investigators announced today that
they were ready to reveal part of
the story behind losses of many bill
lions of dollars suffered by Amer
leans who put their life savings on
real estate bonds.
Preliminary hearings of the selex1
house committee authorized to in
vestigate real estate bondholders'
reorganizations and receiverships
will begin Tuesday in New York.
Representative A j. SABBATH Dem,
IllD, chairman of the committee,
said twenty prominent New York
members of real estate bondholders
protective committees some of
whose names are Of national repute.
have been ordered to appear with
their books and records.
SABBATH explained that these hear
ings are preliminary to more ex-
tended ones which will be held in
New York later.
such concerns as S. w. Straus &
Co., the American Bond and Mort
gage Co., and many others will be
subjected to inquiry SABBATH said.
He estimated that several billions
of dollars of the $10,000000,000 of
bonds which have been floated are
held in New York City. He said in
many instances which the commit
tee already has uncovered values
of the bonds have been wiped out
while in many other instances bond
holders will not receive more than
10 per cent on their investment.
The committee, SABBATH said, will
seek to find out how the bond
holders reorganization and protect
i've committees were set up, the
holdings or interests of the commit
tee in the actual bond issues, how
attorneys and receivers came to be
appointed and the method and mo-
tive for setting up collateral corpo-
rations such as management corpo-
rations and liquidation trusts.

their deaths. This famous story
has been photographed, directed
and acted consistently and beauti-
fully. The ending is really too
much Hollywood, too sentimental.
That is the only criticism 1 can
make against this one.
1t is necessary that the beginning
be slow because the plot to bring
Napoleon back into power in France
has a definite place in the story
and one the future suffering ano

XXTATCH the tremendously fine
w work of o. P. Heggie as the

remember, especially his death
scene.
ELISA Landi as Mercedes is a little
too Pollyanna at times, but she hits
her stride when she faces Dantes
under the name of the Count of
Monte Cristo.
Splendid character work is sup
piled by Louis Calhern, Sidney
Blackmer, Raymond Walburn, Will
liam Farnum, Walter Walker, and
many others.
Mr.. Donat, who makes his first
appearance in an American-made
picture, is a careful and an intel
ligent actor. He gives a complete
and a well-rounded portrayal of
Dantes in the various changes of his
fortune.
Do not be afraid of this movie be-
cause it is period and a costume
drama. 1t is another accomplish
ment that movieland has the right

FOR DILLINGER TRAP
G. W. U. Announcement Points
Out Law Graduates Had Large
Part in Triumph.

Success of the Department of JUS
tice in tracking down and ending the
criminal career of John Dillinger is
hailed as a triumph for the trained
mind in an announcement from
George Washington University, in
which it is pointed out that George
Washington law graduates have
played a large part in recent work
of the Division of Investigation Of
the Justice Department.
Samuel Cowley, who figured prom
inently in the Dillinger case, received
the degree of LII. B. from the local
university law school in 1929. w.

degrees of bachelor of laws and mas
ter of laws from the university.
Among those George Washington
graduates closely associated with Hoo
yer in the division are Clyd Tolson,
A B., 1925, and LII. B., 1927; Hugh
H. Clegg, LII. B., 1926, and John j.
Edwards, LII. B., 1922. Many of the
divisions special agents are men who
