Immediately 20 or 25 employees

Mention of Justice Stone as
Candidate Brings Wide
Speculation.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.


The suggestion made by w. Kings
land Macy, New York Republican
State chairman, that the G. o. P.
pick a man of the type of Harlan F..
Stone, associate justice of the Su-
preme Court, for its presidential can
didate in 1886 kept political tongues
wagging today. Mr. Macy, like many
of the rest of the Republican leaders,
in discussing the political situation
has declared that the Republican
patty must move toward more liberal
policies and personalities. The Ma
tional Committee, which has been
called to meet in Chicago on June
5 to select new chairman, will have
an opportunity to pin either a liberal
or a conservative label on the party.
depending upon its choice for chair
man.
Justice Stone Not Interested.
Justice Stone let it be known today
that if Mr.. Macy had in mind the
actual nomination of Mr.. Stone for
President in 1886 he was not Inter
ested." Through his secretary, Justice
Stone announced that he was "out
of politics" 1t was generally assumed
that Justice Stone meant thereby that
he did not intend to enter politics, but
would remain on the bench, an Office
he has held for nearly a decade.
Justice Stone has been aligned
with the liberal group in the Supreme
Court. He has never held an elective
political Office, but was appointed by
the late President Coolidge on April
7, 1924, to be Attorney General, sue
ceeding Harry M. Daugherty. In the
following year, President Coolidge ap-
pointed Mr.. Stone associate Justice Of
the Supreme Court.
Hughes Called From Bench.
Once before the Republican party
turned to the Supreme Court for its
presidential nominee and following
conditions in the party which were
somewhat parallel to those of recent
days In 1916, four years after the
disastrous Bull Moose split in the
party ranks, Chief Justice Charles
Evans Hughes, then an associate JUS
tice of the Supreme Court, was draft
ed by the Republican National Con-
vention. Mr.. Hughes, who like Mr..
Stone is New Yorker, had earlier
been Governor of that State and re-
garded as liberal Mr. Hughes held
entirely aloof from discussion of the
presidential nomination at that time,
until the convention had actually put
the matter up to him.
Quite naturally it was presumed
that when Mr.. Macy talked with
Republican leaders here yesterday and
said he believed that man of the
type of Justice Stone should be nomi-
mated by the G. o. P. for President,
it was believed that he had in mind
the actual nomination Of Justice
Stone. OF course, it is very early to
begin talking about party nomina-
tions for President in 1886. But GER
tainly Mr.. Macy's suggestions have
focused strongly attention on the de-
cision which the party must make in
Chicago on June 5.
There has been a constantly grow
ing opinion that the Republicans
would attempt to get away from the

House acceptance of the modifica-

was predicted by Chairman Rayburn
of the House Interstate Commerce
Committee after a conference with
President Roosevelt.
Meanwhile, Senator Glass, Demo-

The measure was sent to a confer
ence committee of Senate and House
representatives yesterday to adjust
differences.
Representative Rayburn, chairman
of the House conferees, said the
House would stand by its proposal to
put administration of the Stock Ex-
change under the Federal Trade
Commission.
Roosevelt May Intervene.
Rayburn was accompanied to the
White House by James M. Lands, a
member of the Trade Commission.
1t was indicated the President would
take personal hand in adjusting diff
ferences between the Senate and
House, possibly conferring shortly
with the Senate conferees, who have
instructions to stand for a separate
commission control of the Stock Ex-

The attitude of the President on
this point was not disclosed. He has

The conferees probably will meet to-
morrow.
Glass, in talking with newspaper
men, refused to comment on reports
that he would resign from the Bank
ing Committee because of the failure
to appoint him as a conferee on the
stock bill.
He made it plain, however, he con-
sidered Chairman Fletcher's failure to
recommend him as q conferee was a
deliberate" affront.
Fletcher, in recommending the Sen
ate conferees, chose Senators Barkley,
Democrat, of Kentucky, and Byrnes,
Democrat, of South Carolina, instead
of Glass and Wagner. Democrat, of
New York, who ranked next to him
in seniority.
The committee chairman told news
paper men he had chosen Barkley and

on the floor in steering the bill through

not been consulted, he could not have
served as a conferee anyway and was
not planning to protest the appoint

Glass made no effort to conceal his
feelings, though he said he would

Favoring Flyers on
Atlantic Hop.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 15.-Two flyers
with a nonstop hop from New York
to Rome as their goal were presum-
ably speeding over the Atlantic Ocear
today, well On their way.
The fact that Lieut.. Cesare Sabelli
and Capt. George Pond we're unre-
ported since leaving the North Amer
ican continent late yesterday caused
no concern among the associates they
left behind.
Good weather was reported over the
ocean and they were not due to sight
land until they come to France, some
3.700 miles out of New York. Johr
Carisi. who did the engineering fol
the flight, estimated that they would
reach their goal between and IL
o'clock, Eastern standard time, to-
night, and he said that no concern
would be felt until well after those
hours.
Theirs Is Seventh Attempt.
SabelH and Pond took off from
Floyd Bennett Field early yesterday in
their orange and maroon monopIane
Leonardo da Vinci. Theirs is the
seventh attempt to make a transat-
lantic flight to Rome. all of the pre-
vious six flights having failed and q
total of six lives were lost.
They scared up the East Coast into
a gathering fog and for hours were
unreported. At one or two point.
planes believed to be theirs were re.
ported heard, but the ship itself wa.
too nigh for its markings to be seen
The last report came from Bell Is
land, Is miles from st. Johns. New
foundland. where the telegraph op
orator sighted a plane at $50 pm
yesterday as it few high over Concep.
ton Bay.
He was confident the plane was the
Leonardo da Vinci, since no othel
machines had flown in the district fol
some time.
Weather Good.
Carisi figured the distance to Bel
Island some l,l00 miles from Floyc
Bennett Field, and said weather re-
ports showed Sabeli and Pond woulc
have clear sailing for the balance
of their course.
He figured they would sight Eu-
rope first at Bordeaux, France, anc
then continue on to Marseille anc
directly from that point to Rome
Their plane carried sufficient fuel

safety beyond 40 hours and he ex.
pressed confidence that they woulc

BUSINESS DISCOURAGED BY
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

Uncertainty about the currency has
discouraged investment. The uncer-
tainty is increased by the govern
ment's unbalanced budget and the re-
fusal to regard the huge excess of ex-
penditures as anything to worry
about. The certainty of greatly in
creased taxation is, of course, an
other Encouragement. The admins
tration's fondness for experimental
ton at the expense of invested capital
is still another.
Normally there is huge. flow of
capital into house building, for exam
pie. 1t is highly speculative business
which depends for it's existence on
generous use of credit. Government
created uncertainties have cut off all
but a tlickle of the money which
flowed INTO this business through the
purchase of mortgages and equities.
The result is stagnation which will
not be relieved until the uncertain
ties are removed. The government has
made a bad situation worse by en-
couraging the fixing of artificially
high prices for materials and labor.

 SUNDAY AFTERNOON

A certain amount of consterna- ton was aroused Sunday after noon when young eagle of much the same description as Ole, the Owl Cab Company mascot, was dis covered dead on the highway Is miles out of town, shot through the head. It was believed for a time that the eagle was Ole.
 It is now thought that the de- funct bird may be one of Oles brothers or sisters, or a cousin at least. In order to save the feelings of Ole, who was returned to his perch at the cab company office yesterday afternoon, he has not yet been told about the discovery, as it is feared that in his present nervous condition resulting from his narrowing experience of being abducted, the information might cause complex of some sort in his psychological makeup.
