GREAT FLOOD OF
CAPITAL COMES
FROM OVERSEAS
May Have to Dam 1t Up to
Prevent Harm Being
Done This Nation

Washington, Feb 3.-OP)-
Means to check the rapid return
flow of capital to the United States
because of it's threat to the sue
cessful operation of the American
monetary program were studied by
financial advisers
to-day.
So great is the confidence in
spired in the American financial
outlook by the modified form of
gold standard that the huge flow of
investment funds to this country
has disrupted world financial mar
kets and interfered with the adj
ministration's effort to "pe" the
dollar in foreign markets at 5000
per cent of it's former gold value.
Several billions of dollars worth
of capital which sought safety in
London last summer from the de-
cline in the dollar, has begun to
return to the United States. 1t is
being attracted by the assurance of
at least temporary stability of the
dollar, and the new field for invest
ment with the gradual improve
ment in business conditions.
The administration is anxious
that this capital return to Ameri-
can shores but is understood to
feel that the stampede places g.
strain on financial markets and the
operation of the Roosevelt none
tary program.
Initial steps to bring this influx
under control, the United Press
was told, were the reductions in
the New York and the Cleveland
Federal Reserve Bank rediscount
rates.
The cut in these rates and posi-
BILE reductions in other reserve dis
tricts were a move to ease credit
conditions to promote industrial
borrowing and at the same time
render the American market less
attractive to returning capital.
Other steps to control the heavy
return flight of capital were said
authoritatively to be under consid-
Grafton.
Administration and banking Off
cials confidently expected that eff
fects of the governments dollar
devaluation program soon would be
felt in domestic business sin the

WILLIAM ]. PAPE
MAY Be REFUSED
BY. REGISTRARS
Decision Was Practically
Reached to That Effect
This Morning

Decision had been practically
reached this morning by the regis
trars Of voters to refuse to allow
William J. Pape, local publisher,
the right to inspect the 1892 and
1898 voting lists relative to certifi-
Gates issued to voters on the cleo
ton days of those years. Registrar
+of Voters Thomas F. Dillane stated
when talked with today that while
no final decision had been reached
In the matter 1t appeared unlikely
that the Pape demand would be
granted.
This means that court order is
likely to be resorted to In order
to have the records thrown open.
The stand was taken up to late
this morning that the records are
practically Of a semi-private ma
fure. 1t was pointed out that If
everybody in the city banded to-
gether and decided to visit the reg
lstrars' office on similar matters
day in and day out the registrars
would be unable to do anything
but answer queries.
Mr. Pape, in statement issued,
declared that the charges doubt
ing his citizenship are entirely un-
founded, He claims to have copies
of his naturalization papers and
has invited an inspection of them
to prove his claim. feeling that
there are MANY who douht his
veracity when he makes verbal
claim to being a citizen of the Uni
ted States. @9
2 The Pape attack on stife voting
lists of 1882 and 1888 is designed,
1t is understood, to support his re-
quest for warrants for the two reg
istrars. States Attorney Lawrence

request for the warrants made re-

District Commissioner Melvin
C. HaZen refused to take Mayor
Dan w. Hoan, Socialist mayor OF
Milwaukee for the past 1S years,
very seriously.
Attending the crime conference
at the Mayflower Hotel, Mayor
Hoan commented on the fact
that last year in Milwaukee
there was only one murder per
100000 population, whereas IN
Washington the average was IL
to the same number OF inhao'
itantS.
This, the Socialist mayor
charged, was an indication Of a
lack of youth education and lack
of coordination and cooperation
among police and other law en-
forcing units.
Commissioner Hazen, however,
explained the murder percentage
here by saying:
"More buns come here"
