STOCK BILL TEETH
BEGIN LOSING EDGE
Conferees Understood to
Agree on Senate'S
Modification.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The famous teeth Of the securities
act are likely to lose their razor edge
in the series of conferences initiated
today.
Conferees from Senate and House,
meeting to weld two differing stock
market control bills into one. were
understood to be agreed on the Sem
ate's modification of the securities
legislation passed in 1888. This was
one of the major differences between
the stock market control bills as
passed by Senate and House. The
Senate, before enacting the measure
Saturday, tackled on an amendment
sharply limiting some of the iabili-
ties incurred in the flotation of Sc
curities.
Nothing of this kind is in the
House bill. The changes have adj
ministration backing and are said TO
be acceptable to the House con-
fereeS.
The Senate was expected TO win its
point on the matter of the admin
istrative agency. 1t would set up a
new board of five S12 000-a-year men
to supervise the stock marts The
House would have lodged control in
the Federal Trade Commission.
On the other hand, the House idea
about margins looked like the win
ner 1t would make AS per cent
margins a minimum STANDARD" but
allow the commission and the Fed
eral Reserve Board full power To
change them.
Under the Senate bill complete au-
thority for the Federal Reserve
Board and the regulatory commission
to determine margin requirements
was provided
Regarding corporation reports the
Senate provided specific requirements
and in addition broad power for the
commission to require any other re-
ports it considers necessary 20 protect
investors. The House set specific re-
Quirements without the BLANKET power.

Threat to Mellon Employes

Wires Attorney General Charging
Threat to Mellon Employees.
PHILADELPHIA, May IA (P.-The
Pinchot for Senator State Committee
today gave out a telegram which it
said Gov. Pinchot had sent to Attor-
ney General Cummins at Washington
drawing attention to alleged circula-
ton among employees of Mellon COM
panieS of a card in the interest of
Senator David A. Reed, a candidate
on the Republican ticket for renomi-
nation at tomorrow's primary.
The Governor said the card came
to him in a letter from Western
Pennsylvania, the unnamed writer
stating that employees were told to
sign or else"
The Governors telegram says the
card read:
Il am Reed volunteer and agree
to use my best efforts to return David
A. Reed to the United States Senate"
The Governors telegram also says:
The use of these cards constitutes
attempted coercion and intimidation
of the employees of all of these Mellon
companies.
Il am calling your attention to this
attempt of the Mellon companies to
force their employees to vote for Reed,
not only in view of such action as
you may deem it wise to take, but also
because of resolutions now pending
before the Senate for an investiga-
ton Of corrupt practices in primary
and general elections in this and

100000 ACRES
IN F0REST PLANS
DernAnnounces Programfor
Huge Purchases in
South and East.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Secretary of War Derr, as president
of the National Forest Reservation
Commission, announced yesterday a
program involving eventual purchase
Of 100000 acres of land in the
Southern Appalachian region and the
immediate acquisition OF 762, l86 acres
in the Eastern States. The latter
portion Is contained in As units scat
tered through the States.
The United States Forest Service
and cooperating agencies will be en-
abled, through the purchase of ap-
proximately 2,326,000 acres on the
headwaters of the Tennessee River, to
consolidate fire protection and war
on excessive erosion in the Tennessee
drainage system, the Secretary said
The purchase will almost double the
national forest area in the Appa-
lachian area.
Will Aid Industries.
Rehabilitation of the new national
forest lands, Dern said, also is ex-
pected to help prevent disastrous
floods, and to furnish continuous,
even flow of water for hydroelectric
development and community water
supply.
Industries expected to be aided by
the development and protection OF
timber stands include pulp and paper
mills, wood-using factories OF various
lines, rayon mills and other indus
tries depending on forest products.
rT1k,1 will En fTnnn
the $40, 900 900 fund allotted by Presi-
dent Roosevelt for purchase OF forest
lands as an emergency relief measure.
Areas to be purchased are largely
mountainous and formerly were COW
cred with mountain hardwood, pine
and hemlock. Extensive numbering
operations and fires have caused
great damage and little attention has
been paid to reproduction.
New Virginia Forest.
One new unit approved by the
commission, to be known as the
Clinch National Forest Purchase Unit,
comprises $4,000 acres in the SOUTH
western corner of Virginia. Additions
to existing units will be made as
follows:
Pisgah National Forest, $4,000
acres in North Carolina; Unaka Ma
tional Forest, $4,000 acres in Ten
nessee and North Carolina; Cherokee
National Forest, $4,000 acres in Ten
nessee. Georgia and North Carolina.
and Nantahala National Forest, AL
600 acres in North Carolina and
Georgia.
The immediate purchase of 1928
acres. to cost sl,853,5 $50. will be dis
tributed over IS units in States east
of the Great Plains. By districts and
additions, averaging S2.45 per acre.
will be: New England, 1913 acres;
Appalachian, $3.50 acres; Southern
Pine, l65, 7O4 acres; Ozark and Cen
trail Mississippi. 1s4.o9s acres, and
Lake States. 3l9 ,625 acres.
The commission also approved a
new method for acquiring State
owned lands within purchase units in
Michigan. Instead of paying cash,
the United States will buy privately
owned lands of equal value within
State forests and exchange them Tor
state lands suited for Federal forests.
The arrangement will consolidate
Federal lands and help build up and
deyelop State forests, thus increasing
acreage under systematic control and
management.
If the new plan is successful IN
Michigan, the commission plans to
extend it to other States.

application despite the reference to
class B licenses.
In his opinion Justice Luhring said:
The board is clearly clothed with
discretionary power to grant or re-
fuse class B licenses. An arbitrary
disapproval of a license, for example,
determined upon without an examina-
ton of relevant facts and expressing
nothing but the mood of the officer
would not in contemplation of law be
an exercise of the power granted. 1t
would constitute on the contrary a
neglect and refusal to perform his
official functions and would expose
him to the interference of this court
by the writ of mandamus. But the
action of the board IN refusing tins
license was not arbitrary nor was il
an abuse of discretion. Therefore,
its decision is not subject to be con-
trolled or reviewed by this court by

throat competition in the history Of
flying
Greatest Pilots to Compete.
At least 20 OF the worlds greatest
pilots are expected to compete in the
MacRobertson race, the first prize for
which is to be 10000 pounds, or at
the current rate of exchange about
1920. To compete for this prize
the racing pilots will face the longest,
most difficult and by far the most
dangerous flying in the history of air
racing.
The first hop, Of $500 miles, will
take them over the Alps at an alti-
tude of $4,000 feet, on october 20,
when some Of the worst flying weather
of the year is likely to be encountered
in the high mountains. The first stop
is at Bagdad.
The most dangerous hop will be
those from Allahabad to Singapore,
2.20O miles, and Singapore to Darwin,
Australia, 1000 miles.
Another bad hop will be from OAR
win to Charleville, across the great
Australian desert. ending, according to
FitZmaurice's schedule, in a night
landing on an unlighted field at
Charleville, which is very difficult to
find, even in the clearest daylight.
1900 Miles in so Hours.
To qualify, the racers must cover
the 10000 miles in a total elapsed
time Of not exceeding so hours. Five
compulsory stops must be made at
checking-in points. Flyers who stop
at other points must arrange for their
own fueling and servicing. There will
be no chance for rest except for such
cat-naps as the pilots may be able
to get in flight, If accompanied by
co-pilots. Fitzmaurice expects to fly
alone, possibly with an automatic pilot,
or Metallic Mike" to spell him.
Among the American pilots who
may uphold the colors of this coun-
try in the great race are James r.
Wedell, now building special racer
for the purpose; Col. Roscoe Turner,
who shares with Wedell the outstand-
ing American speed records; Clyde
Pangborn, round the world flyer; Rob-
ert Dake, pioneer flyer and air derby
official; Walter Beech, pioneer airplane
designer and builder; Maj. James H.
Doolittle, holder of the 1892 world

years and holder of score of speed
trophies; Lee Miles, who recently es-
tablished speed record for single

racing planes; Louise Thaden, former
co-holder of the women's world en-
durance record, and Laura ingalls,,

HARRIS CONVICTION
UPHELD BY COURT
Faces Death Sentences for Stay.
ing of "Milsie" Henry,
D. c. Gambler.

The conviction of Charles Harris
who is under sentence of death for
the murder OF Milton "Milsie" Henry,
local gambler. was affirmed today by
the District Court of Appeals.
Harris was adjudged guilty in Dis
trict Supreme Court on April 81, 1882,
of numbering Henry.
One of the points raised on appeal
was that the jury was prejudiced
against Harris by reason of the Gov
eminent being permitted to show he
had used several aliases. This. it was
commended, tended to persuade the
jury that it was dealing with a pro-
fessional criminal. The Court of APP
peals said it saw no merit in this
argument.
Henry was killed With sawed-of
shotgun as he drove up to his apart
ment house near Brown and Meridian
streets. Two Government witnesses
identified Harris as the slayer. He
contended he was in New York at the
time. The case was prosecuted by
Assistant United States Attorney
Julian Richards.

today to await hopefully the decision
Of the referee-the Pennsylvania

Some were a bit groggy, for the
primary campaign has been some
thing of a smuggling match Gov.
Pinchot, seeking the Republican SEN
atorial nomination for the third time,
and David A Reed, incumbent SEN
ator seeking denomination, have pro-
vided the main bout, and it has been
a slashing, no-quarter scrap.
Reed is the messenger boy of the
Melons, the international money
lords and the steel interests" cried
the Governor, sparring for votes.
''Pinchot is forcing State employees
to help pay for his campaign" was
the retaliatory blow the Senator
aimed at his adversary.
New Deal Is Direct Issue.
The Roosevelt administration is a
direct issue IN this contest due to the
outspoken Endorsement of the Presi-
dents policies by Gov. Pinchot, re-
cent White House guest, and to the
consistent criticism of the admins
tration by Senator Reed.
The gubernatorial seat on which
Gov. Pinchot has turned his back in
his drive for place in the Senate
has caught the eye of Is Republican
candidates who have engaged in a
sort of battle royal for the nomina-
ton. Six, however, have withdrawn
as active seekers of the place. Five
men want the Democratic nomlna-
ton.
The Democrats, more hopeful than
ever in this stronghold of Republican
ism, are putting on vigorous drives
for votes. For the senatorial noml-
nation the candidates are Joseph F
Guffey, the State Roosevelt leader
and Roland S. Morris, former United
States Ambassador to Japan.
The Guffey ticket, Endorsed by the
Democratic State Committee, has as
its gubernatorial candidate George n
Earle, recently resigned Minister tc
