Judge Myers continued the case
until Monday because officials of
the Grotto Club, 1888 Park avenue,
from which the machines are al
legged to have been stolen, failed to
prove that any part of the ma
chimes was their property.
An elderly custodian of the club,
Joe Whitesell, testified that Stock

machine, Aug 5. He said the club
operated the machines on a percent

tual money in the machines at the
time they we're stolen.
With no one present claiming
ownership of the machines the court
was faced with the peculiar situa-

something which apparently be-

EVILS
ARE PAIN TED BY
MONEY EXPERT
State Sound Currency Club
Head Addresses City
ORGANIZATION.

Evils of unbridled initiation OF
currency were stressed today by
John T. Beasley, president of the
Indiana sound money committee, in
an address before the Exchange
Club in the Washington.
Declaring that there is only a
remote possibility of the federal
Indebtedness being reduced during
the present administration, Mr.
Beasley said the incentive for in
flation would be as great at the end
Of President RooSevelt'S team as at
present.
Maturing government obligations
can be met only by refunding opera
tons. To pay its huge debt. our
government either must increase
taxes, borrow more money or resort
to the printing of irredeemable pa
per money" he declared.
All Attempts Failures
Experience of other nations has
taught us how easy it is to start the
downward path of imitation. The
same experience has taught us
how difficult it is to stop when the
policy once is entered upon. Every
attempt in human history to sub
stitute legislative fiat for the nat
uraI laws of finance has resulted
disastrously," asserted Mr. Beasley.
He told at the height of inf1a-
ton in other nations people became
panicky and farmers bought dia-
monds, brokers bought plows and
shovels, and how holders of cur
rency sought to turn it into tangi-
BILE things without regard for use.
Repeated issuance of paper
currency results in people losing
faith in it's integrity. The greater
the loss in faith the more desperate
the efforts Of governments to allay
fear.
Denies Roosevelt Attack
"The weight of the unprecedented
drought has added to our Presi-
dents problems. To ameliorate con-
ditions the government has poured
out money without precedent in our
history. No one can question the
high purpose of this opulence," he
said.
In opening his talk Mr.. Beasley
declared that his statements we're
i'll no way a criticism of President
Roosevelt.
Il am not an economist. I am not
versed in the science of money. My
talk is along practical rather than
technical lines" he declared.
