GOLD BRICK BONDS
OF SMITH co. HIT
Judge 0'Donoghue Awards $500
to H. K. Taylor, Retired
Seaman, Investor.

Describing some of the F. H. Smith
Co.'S securities as gold brick bonds,
Justice Daniel w. O'Donoghue today
awarded H. K. Taylor. retired sea-
man, a $500 judgment against the
Smith company and Properties In
vestment Corporation.
Taylor purchased $500 worth OF
so-called collateral trust sinking fund
gold bonds from the Smith company
in 1929. Justice O'Donoghue said
that, in his opinion, they should have
been called gold brick bonds"
The suit was based on the fact that
agents of the Smith company falsely
told Taylor he was purchasing first
mortgage bonds. Taylor testified that
after he bought the securities Samuel
J. Henry, former president of the COM
pany, came to his home and told him
he had made a file investment.
G. Bryan Pitts, former chairman
of the Smith company board of direc-
tors, and two other officers were SUBJ
sequently convicted on conspiracy
charges in District Supreme Court and
given long prison sentences.
Taylor was represented by Attorneys

The sheriff's Office today announced
the detention of a woman in con-

The woman, described as brunette
about 80 years old and fairly well
dressed, fell into a police dragnet
early this morning along with six
other persons, who also were ques-

their inquiries gave promise that we
might have something important"
The woman was taken into custody
by three police homicide officers in
ferreting out haunts of the under
world. She was turned over to the
sheriff and district attorneys Offices
for examination, but the officers who
questioned her declined to disclose the
nature of the information obtained.
Significantly it came several hours
after Ernest E. Noon. lawyer for the
kidnapped oil millionaire, upon return
ing from 35-minute trip, said at his
Offices he had obtained very i'm

to the identified ton of the kidnapers.
Whether there was connection be-

remained unanswered.

From 5000 to 5000 persons will be
dropped from the District of Columbia
relief rolls as ineligible, Federal Di-
rector Harry L. Hopkins revealed to-
day, a result Of the investigation his
agents have been conducting for the
past TWO weeks.
There will also be a corresponding
reduction in the amount of relief
funds needed for the District next
month, Hopkins indicated in explain
ing that he hoped it would not be
necessary to grant more than 100000
for June relief purposes.
The Federal administrator said
most Of the families to be dropped
are those who were found to have
other sources of income, in addition
to their weekly relief payments. He
did not go into detail, but explained
that the inquiries of his agents had
satisfied him this was the principal
cause of ineligibility.
100000 May Saving Seen.
The District relief administration
spent S892,0 last month, which was
100000 less than the previous month.
Hopkins said he expected there would
be another saving OF about $1,000
this month.
Early this month 100000 grant
was made to the District, and as re-
suit, Hopkins said today. he did not
expect to give any more than S500,000
for the remainder of this month. That
would place the District relief fund
for May at approximately 100000.
AS a result of improvements made
in local administration and the elimi-
nation of possibly 5000 persons from
the relief rolls, he believes not more
than 100000 will be needed for Dis
trict relief next month.
Some of the improvements he at
tributed to the investigations he or
dered The largest, he explained, was
that increasing the number Of staff
members who shall determine relief
eligibility.
Welcomes Street Choice.
Hopkins said he would welcome El-
wood Street as chairman of the Board
of Public Welfare and believed Street
would do much to improve local ad-
ministration still further. He added
there was still much need for i'm
provement, although things have been
worked out for the better, not only as
the result of the Federal inquiry, but
from discussions he has had from
time to time with Commissioner Allen
and other local relief officials.
Hopkins expects to receive a full
report in the next few days on the in
vestigation. which will result in the
drastic reduction of the District relief
roll.

offers three recommendations for VIC
tins and officials: Never pay dime

Sullivan told the meeting, called

I'VE don't mind IS years or even

STUDENTS SCARE
T0WNPOL|T|C|ANS
Joke Slate at st. Norbert's
College Is Taken Up by
Citizens.

DE PERE, Wis, March 81 R.-
Politicians Of this small Wisconsin
town can settle down again without
fear Of being ousted from their
coveted positions by students Of st.
Norbert's College here.
What started out to be campus
joke by the injection of a college
party" into the forthcoming NUM-
cipal election went so far as to throw
a real scare into the city hall crowd
and to cause college ofiials to de-
mand that students forget politics or
give up their studies.
As a result the student ticket was
withdrawn. and now everything is
rosy again for the regular candi-
dates.
Banned Bonfires.
The student ticket dates back to
last Fall, when Mayor w. A. Rupiper
put a ban on bonfires in connection
with the annual foot ball home
coming.
In retaliation the students put cut
a slate of candidates to. defeat. him
at the polls this Spring. It. was
planned as a joke at first, but then
citizens took up the idea and 1t as
sumed serious proportions.
The students issued q platform,
listing the following main planks:
A new and efficient fire department.
Supervised play activity and public
Fairgrounds.
Publication system in drinking
water plant.
Reduction Of tavern taxes.
Redistribution of real estate tax in
proportion to real estate values.
Reorganization of the police force
on modern methods.
An open account of the expenditure
Of city funds.
. Mayor Rupiper maintains he was
not frightened by the student ticket,
but says entrance of third party
into the field might have drawn out
enough "joker vote" to defeat the
city ticket and elect the Socialists.
Besides, he says. he objects to hav-
ing the election turned into farce" ="
At any rate, he considered the sit
uation serious enough to appeal to
Rev. Abbot B. H. Pennings, president
Of the college, who ordered the stu
dents to abandon their campaign.
The student candidate for mayor
was Joseph M. Trainor of New York
City.
I'VE bowed to higher authority"
was Trainor's brief comment in re-
sponse to questions about the with
drawal of his candidacy. I'VE are
an orderly student body-there will
be no riots at St. Norbert's."

FRANCE BROKE PROMISE
MADE AMERICAN PAINTER
Hung Whistler's 'sMother" in Louvre
Ten Years After Date Agree
ment Stipulated.

Mr.. Crotissoz expressed the opinion
with subtlety that the canvas of
Whistler's Mother might be ex-
pected to fit far more harmoniously
into the Louvre than, say the Olympia
of Manet, to which we have recently
had occasion to refer, or those works
by Meissonier, which, through be-
quests, have found their way into
the museum"
In his letter to the Tribune Mr..
Pennell said that Whistler had re-
peatedly told him and Mrs. Pennell
how he had hawked the portrait
around the art galleries of New York,
Philadelphia, Boston and other CEN
ters and they would have none of
it. He then traced the terms of the
sale to the French government-$620
in cash, the Legion of Honor and
the Louvre 10 years after the artists
death.
Pennell's Statement.
And he concluded:
THE French government has car
ried out the first two conditions Of
its agreement, or contract; the last,
the important one, 1t has broken, and
it also has taken the picture from
the Luxembourg, and its disgraceful
conduct would have broken Whistler's
heart-the painting should now be
put in the Louvre, as Whistler died
20 years ago last July. (January
20, 1920. These are the facts-and
there were no other conditions on
either side"
Within a few weeks Whistler's
masterpiece disappeared from the Jeu
de Paume and it was some months
after the tempest stirred by the dis
covery that Whistler had been humili-
ated that happened to be on visit
to the Louvre with friends. AS we
walked up a carpeted stairway into
a room containing fortunes in art
there at the far end facing us was
the Arrangement in Gray and
Black" Without fanfare. without
cymbals and perhaps little shame
facedly, France had made good. It is
there today in the great gray build
ing on the banks Of the Seine with
its Rembrandts and Rubsenses, its
da Vincis and Michael Angeles, its
Davids and Titians. its M;llets and
other master works.

HELENA, Mont, March 31.-Recent
dispatches from the East regarding
speculation on the possible formation
Of third or Progressive party in the
coming campaign have included Mon
tana in the list of States which might
be represented in such a movement.
The Middle West, it Is said, is the
center of this movement. but Mon
tana is expected, according to the
story, to fall in line.
The originator of this report is
either gifted with a virile imagination
Of possessed Of data that is not appar-
ent in this, the capital of the Com
monwealth mentioned. No indication
Of the rise of third party is visible
to the naked eye in Helena, and If
there Is a movement for it through
the State. the proponents thereof are
keeping mighty quiet.
Letting Roosevelt Do Job.
Truth to tell. the people Of the
State pretty generally are sitting by
and letting Franklin D. Roosevelt
work out the destiny of the Republic,
in a crisis which Is generally recog-
nized as worse than war. Montana
is normally Republican State, presi-
dentially considered, but it went for'
Roosevelt in 1882 and majority Of
the people may still be very safely
considered among his following.
The farm holiday outfit, said to be
a nucleus Of the third party idea.
never has amounted to much in Mon
tana and the Progressives among the
Democrats are behind the President,
while the Progressive Republican,
and they are many-are not likely
to leave their party for . third party
movement.
OF course, lot of things can hap
pen between now and Fall.
New Insurance Written.
Maybe life insurance sales are an
Indication of prosperity. At all events.
a total of about sl5.000,000 IN new
insurance on lives was written In this
State In 1888, according to figures Of
John ]. Holmes. State insurance COM
missioner.
According to D. A. McKinnon, pub
lic works administrator for Montana,
steps have been taken to secure s5,-
600 900 from the Federal Public Works
Administration for irrigation and
water conservation projects In this
State. The program affected would
employ about 2,000 men during the
Summer and perhaps during the early
Winter Of 1884. r
