CHICAGO, Oct. "a 0.N.S0.
Defense attorneys opened an at
tack today on Government testi-
mony that Samuel insults Cor
poration Securities Company was
insolvent IS months before it's
collapse in April, 1882.
The mail fraud trial of insult
and 16 co,defendants before Fed
eral Judge James H. Wilkerson,
resolved itself into battle Of

cross-examine Alfred E. Sweeney,
Department of Justice agent.

The defense set to work draw
ing up a series of charts and
graphs of its own, basing them
on its own theory of bookkeeping
and accounting.
Each chart introduced by Mr..
Sweeney described in graphic
form the market value of various
insult stocks as compared to the
book value, the outline of certain
insult corporations, and mass OF
other information, impaired to an
obviously interested jury by black
board and pointer.
Market Rigging" Charged
Prosecutors pointed to the evil
dence in support of the Govern
ment claim that insult executives,
although knowing of the alleged
Insolvency of Corporation Secur-
tiles, made efforts to hold market
prices at former levels by "rig.
ging" operations to draw the in
VestorS.
Leslie E. Salter, Government
prosecutor, declared:
"The defendants at all times
were continuously keeping up
representations to the public
that the company was sound

These figures show what the
real facts were, both as regard
the company and the worth Of

Rudy, White Split in Tilt
About Crooner Jibe

NEW YORK, March IA G.N.S).
The real reason why Rudy Vallee,
king of the crooners, got uppitty
in Hollywood was because he took
exception to a quip against Groom
ers, George White, Broadway pro-
ducer, told International News
Service today.
They threw a party in honor Of
White yesterday and invited Rudy
but the Vallee failed to appear.
So White, who isolated Rudy on
a chandelier in Hollywood during
the screening of the George White
Scandals" ventured an explana'
ton:
"Rudy is a good guy, but we
didn't get along together. And
the reason was he objected to
a crack against crOOners in
the film. And l guess that is
why he didn't show up at the
party"
A copy of the film script was
dug up which spoke for itself.
White said:
"There was the time when we
had everything all set to shoot
a scene with Rudy directing his
orchestra from the chandelier

Half Mile of Hardy School
Voted.

Opposition to the granting of any
hind OF hard liquor licenses to estab-
Nshments within half a mile of the
Rose Lees Hardy School in Foxhall
village, was voted overwhelmingly by
Hhe Foxhan Village Citizens Associa-
tdon at its meeting last night in st.
Patrick's Parish Hall.
The vote followed a discussion of
the so-called 'on-sale" and "off-sale"
licenses, which some members of the
association sought to have voted on
separately. 1t was argued that "un-
noubtedly' the majority of the Fox
hall Village residents would oppose
Sle "on-sale license" but taht perhaps
bnany residents would not oppose the
Foff-sale" plan. Proponents of the
separate vote plan said they feared
that if both types of liquor licenses
were voted on at once, the measure
might be lost The vote, however,
overwhelmingly opposed all kinds of
Nquor licenses.
at the outset of the discussion,
She association, announced on behalf
Of DR.. Seba Christie, proprietor of the

line, where it was charged many old
busses are breaking down, the Bur-
leith Citizens Association, In Mount
Tabor Church last night planned to

mittee, asking the commission to in
vestigate the schedule, its mainten-
ance, and failures. Busses should be
properly serviced so they will not
break down so often, or new equip
ment should be furnished, the reso-
luton said. In order to prevent
crowding during the peak loads, 1t
was suggested that some busseS leave
the old terminus at Thirty-seventh
and T streets, in addition to those
leaving the new terminus at Thirty
eighth and Beecher streets. 1t was
proposed also that certain loaded
buses during the morning rush be
sent as express without stops from
