tended are just beginning to drift
back home.
Arthur C. Houghton, president
Of the local Real Estate Board,
and Harold E. Doyle, vice presi-
dent, accompanied by seven
others, made the trip and their
prolonged absence has caused
some speculation over the pos

PLAN
SUCCEEDS

At a meeting Of the governing
committee of the New York Stock
Exchange Wednesday, Laurence
G. PaySon, president of the Stock
Clearing Corporation, reported
that transactions on Friday and
Saturday, January 19 and 20, set
tied through the Stock Clearing
Corporation day branch on Tues
day, the 23rd, gave the best vol
ume test Of operation under the
new second day delivery system
since the new system was put into
effect on September 8, 1888.
Mr.. Payson said that the VOL
ume of stock involved totaled
about 5,500,000 shares for the CON-
bined weekend.
Because of the new system, Mr..
Payson said, the Street was able
to deliver items through the cent
raj delivery department so much
earlier that officers were able to
dismiss personnel within the nor
NAL working hours.

Sees Need of NeIU
Bank Legislation

A complete recodltlcatlon OF
banking laws in the United States
is recommended by H. Parker
Willis. professor of banking, Co
lumbia University, in a copy.
righted article appearing in the
current issue of Trust Companies
Magazine. This work, he believes,
should precede any attempt to
bring about banking unification.
He makes the specific suggestion
that Congress authorize the ap-
pointment of banking commits
sion as a preliminary step. DR..
Willis says:
"The thing that is funda-
mentally needed at the bottom
Of our banking system is q
general revision Of our banking
laws, intended to cOdify them
and to omit obsolete, needless
and self Inconsistent items Of
legislation: while adapting the
remaining structure to current
needs, bringing it up to date
and inserting the necessary
new provisions to make the old
ones effective"
The Washington times., 1934-01-26

of exports was 20.3 per cent
smaller than in the corresponding
period Of 1882, and the decline in
imports between these two periods
was 20.7 per cent.
"The situation was completely
reversed in the second half Of
1888. In that period exports
were valued at 3O.4 per cent
more than in the last six months
Of 1882 and imports of 4S.S per
cent more.
Between the first and last
half Of 1888 the value Of ex-
ports advanced sos per cent and
the value Of imports 44.S per
cent, only partly explainable on
SeaSOnable grounds"
The department ascribed the
expansion to "the rising level of
business activity at home and
abroad and the depreciation In
dollar exchange"

COARSE YARN QUIET

NEW YORK, Jan. rs GN.s).-with
the exception of some fairly good
buying in narrow print cloths the
coarse yarn cloths market was a
rather quiet affair today, the general
price structure unchanged from the
previous days levels.
Inquiry in most cases was confined
to minor nearby needs, and 1t was
widely asserted that the buying move
ment is not likely to be resumed until
some move is made which gives
promise of effectively establishing an
upward trend in finished goods prices.

WOMEN
BY RICHARD BAKER

| 1u6 QuSSGlOu OF ADMISSION OF
women to the 100 per cent male
constituted District Bar Associa-
ton is a problem inherited by
the new administration which
took over the reins of this ultra
conservative group a week ago
under leadership of President F..
Regis Noel.
President Noel's solution of the
problem-aS a very bad punSter
would put it's: A male COM
mittee to take a mail ballot.
That is the procedure 70 be
followed. This committee will
ascertain through the mails the
private opinion Of the member
ship on the question and make
its report at some future meeting
Of the association.
On this committee are: Will
liam j. Hughes, chairman; Wal
ter c. Clephane, vice chairman;
Frederick Stohlman, secretary,
and Fulton Lewis, Harold F..
Hawken, Samuel F. Beach, and
Phillip w. Austin.
Along with notifications Of
these appointments, Secretary
George c. Gertman last night
mailed out notices of other COM
mittee assignments.
A committee on a proposed new
constitution and bylaws is head
ed by John E. LaSkey, with Frank
F. NeSbit, vice chairman, and
Arthur G. Hilland, secretary.
Members include Abner H. Fer.

q. Baillee Springston, erstwhile
counsel for the Treasury in spe-
cial bank cases, tried his wings
independently yesterday when he
appeared in the Park Savings
Bank suit.
Springston and j. Bruce Kre-
mer, former Democratic national
committeeman from Nevada and
treasurer of the party is asso-
ciated with Springston in the
case. They appear for John
Moran, receiver for the bank.
Preliminary motions in the
Park Bank suit several months
ago recalled the dismay Of vet
eran counsel, Charles Fits, attor-
ney for the Reconstruction FL
nance Corporation, over the rules
OF the local courts.
Fits had just won his motion
asking that R.F.C. be eliminated
from the case, but when Justice
Adkins added that the plaintiff
would be allowed to amend his
bill and the RF.C. would have to
answer it again, Fits said:
"Well, your Honor if that is
the court rule it must be so,
but wonder what I have been
arguing about"
Stephen B. Callahan, United
States Marshal e. c. Snyder's

where he went to recuperate from

"Steve" denied that 6S years
of living, mostly engaged in
serving processes and such like,
had anything to do with his
illness.
Incidentally "Steve," who was
once a constable in the District
is the sole survivor of those old
days when justices of the peace
dispensed remedial justice to
petty litigants-with one excep-
ton.
The other survivor is Judge
Luke Strider, who maintains a.
quiet retreat in his Rhode Island
Avenue home. Occasionally, how.
ever, the judge comes down to the
courthouse to see "Steve" and
chat over old times.

think either was portrayed in the
picture.
Replying to a question by Sir Pat
rick Hastings, what had the case to
do with you?" the witness calmly
said:
-"I served in Russia. I have an
interest in fair play and right.
II was actually acquainted not
only with Rasputin himself, but with
Purishkevitch and others.
II was actually invited by Purish-
kevitch to murder Rasputin."
Ridicules Charges.
Sir William Jowitt. opening the de-
fense case, ridiculed the princess
charge that the moving picture linked
her improperly with the sinister
monk.
He contended the film did not re-
fer to her. Besides, he insisted, 1t
would be "fanciful' to assume Ma
tasha, the woman who played the
part to which the princess objects,
either was seduced by or was the
mistress of Rasputin.
OH "llUaIII o<11o L1lc CHAR dCUCI III
the Princess is such as to make 1t
perfectly ridiculous.
The defense attorney suggested that
q possible view" of the suit is that
an American woman lawyer, Miss
Fanny Hoffman, persuaded the
Princess to bring the action.
Gin New York, Miss Holtzman, who
was retained by the Princess, replied
that my only regret is that my pro-
feSsional engagements ''' do not
permit me to be in London")
Prince Youssoupo1 said he was
partly hypnotized by Rasputin and
then related how he gave his victim
wine and cakes which had been pois-
oned and then shot and beat the man
to death before a crucifix.
A co-conspirator, he said, fired a
bullet into the bleeding form. But
still there seemed to be life in the
body. Then, the Prince said, he
clubbed the monk.
He testified he slew Rasputin be-
cause the monk planned to betray
Russia and seize the throne.

investigation by the Federal Tariff
Commission, and a report by the
commission to the President. This is
tedious method of dealing with the
tariff problem, especially as the COM
mission Is called upon to investigate
and report upon the cost of produc-
ton at home and abroad in each
article on which a change of duty is
proposed.
Furthermore, there is nothing in
existing law to give the President au-
thority to bargain with other nations
for increased trade.
A fight to "the bitter end" con-
fronted the tariff proposal. Embat-
tied Republicans apparently were
ready to carry the issue into the Fall
campaigns.
Republican forces did not await
arrival of the message to open fire.
The ninorities in Senate and House
had been rallied against the proposal
several days ago.
"Solidly Against It."
The House Republican leader, Rep
iCSciltdllNc olclA VI NEW OTh, pre-
dicted those of his political faith
would be "solidly against it" to the
bitter end" He ventured further
It'll be long time before even
Democratic Congress will give such
powers to one man"
1T would be the greatest political
weapon ever held by one man." said
Smell. 1T would give him the power,
if he wanted, to wipe out any manu-
featuring company now receiving pro-
lection.
1T is an absolute right about face
in the tariff policy of both parties.
Both parties claim the tariff should
not be a political foot ball, but should
be adjusted after careful and scientific
investigation Of facts.
That's what the Tariff Commission
is for, but this new grant of power
would destroy that and place it where
our policy would depend on the whims
of one man"

but as there had been from opposi-

and as suggestion has even been
carried to Gods altar, say that on
both sides I have come of good Catho-
lie stock. My father and mother were

was baptized in Catholic church" !"
De Valera said the suggestion he
was of Jewish descent also had been
made in America.
In a plea for peace before the Dali
Eireann, President de Valera said, in
part:
If had my way, arms would be
handed in and a cross would be put
up to the Prince Of Peace, such as is
in the Andes, as a pledge that never
again would Irishmen fight Irishmen. p"
