The existing wave of violent crime
is serious, but the white collar" crime
wave, which is always with us, is just
as serious, Louis Rothschild, director
of the Better Business Bureau, warned
in radio addresses during the past
week.
Large numbers of persons are made
homeless, forced into institutions or
made objects of charity through the
scheming of white collar bandits"
Rothschild said.
He placed in such class fake Sc
curity promoters, confidence men Of
various types, land schemers and the
like. These, he said, are more con-
temptible than burglars and hold-up

A.A.A. EMPHASIZES
DOMESTIC NEEDS
Planners, However, Are Not
Ignoring Possibility of
Regaining Exports.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The A. A. A., pondering its plans
for 1885, Is becoming convinced that
George Washingtons advice about
foreign entanglements may apply.
The application to the A. A. A. Is
that producing great surpluses on the
off chance that they can be sold in
foreign markets very probably would
lead to grief for the American farmer.
The emphasis Is on domestic needs
and sales.
Officials say they are not ignoring
possibility of regaining some export
business through, for instance, recipro-
cal treaties. But the thinking of the
A. A. A. planners centers on adjust
ing production to about the quantity
needed to feed Americans, plus ample
reserves for lean years and probably
some exports.
Launch Sugar Experiment.
The first experiment is under way
In the sugar program under the Jones'
Costigan act. This adjusts domestic
production and imports to 6,476,0OO
tons that officials estimate will be
consumed this year.
The wheat program announced last
week contained much the same sort of
adjustment, calling for production of
about IT'S 100000 bushels to meet do
mestic demand of 625 ZOO, 900 bushels,
rebuild the carryover and leave
margin for export purposes.
In preparing the live stock plan the
same idea predominates. Actual con-
troll Of hogs and beef cattle will prob
ably hinge on control of corn, wheat.
rye, barley and grain sorghums, with
these grains brought together in a
composite contract.
Cash Incomes Increase.
In the midst Of planning the future.
officials found time to look at the pres
ent. The Bureau Of Agricultural
Economics issued an estimate that
cash income Of farmers from all
sources this year will be about S6,00O,-
100000, an increase Of 19 per cent
over last year and 80 per cent over
1882.
The estimate was based on actual
figures for the first seven months.
showing income of $2,894 900, 900 and
forecast for the other five months.
The figures include income from sale
OF farm products, rental and benefit
payments of about $3.50, 900 900 for ad-
Justtng production and cash received
from the sale of cattle, sheep and goats
to the A. A. A. In drought areas. The
benefits are expected to total about
sos, 100000.

STATE TO REST CASE
ATCOO TRIAL TODAY
Blond Road House Proprietor
Due to Give Version of
Death.
CoopERSTOWN, N. Y. August %.
By the Associated Press.

COOPERSTOWN, N. Y, August 28.
The State plans to rest its case
today in the trial of Mrs. Eva Coo,
roadhouse proprietress, for the muir
der of Harry Wright, her impecunious
but insured handyman.
Then, if ever. the blond Mrs. Coo
will be called to the stand to tell
under what circumstances she made
certain statements-not confessions,
the defense emphasizes.
The defense is expected to place
fun emphasis behind its oft-repeated
cry of torture" by the district at
torney's Office in obtaining the state
ments.
The State says Mrs. Coo has made
two statements. The first passed
everything on to Martha Gift ner
one-time friend, also indicted for first
degree murder but later promised i'm
munity. The second said little more
than that Mrs. Cliff drove the car
that crushed the life out of Wright
the night of June IA. in an isolated
lane atop Crumhorn Mountain.
Whether the district attorney would
be able to conclude his case today
depended on the length of cross-ey-
ami nation of his remaining 19 or 20
witnesses by Mrs. Coos chief of
eou Sel.

RICHMOND, Va, August 28-
Court attendants scurried into the
Office of the commonwealth's attorney
today to administer ammonia to Mrs.
Leonora Fontaine, important States
witness in the murder trial of Robert
Mais, alleged tri-State gangster.
They said the woman was hysteri-
cal. One attendant said she was

Her condition was not Immediately
ascernible.
Waiting to Testify.
The attack of hysteria came while
the woman was awaiting In the COM
monwealth's attorneys Office her turn
to testify. Mrs. Fontaine was the
girl friend of big George Phillips,
slain gangster.
Over barrage OF defense obJec-
tions, Commemorative Attorney T.
Gray Haddon today asked the death
penalty for Mais.
When Haddon in his opening state
ment asked the infliction of the 'ex-
treme penalty-which is DEATH" de-
tense counsel jumped to their feet
to protest.
Approves Objection.
Judge John L. Ingram, agreeing
that the objection of the defense "is
probably technically right" explained
to the jury that remarks made by
the prosecutor in his opening state
ment had no value as testimony and
were not to influence the jury. in de-
termining the guilt or innocence Of
the accused.
M. Haley Shelton Of defense counsel
then made an unsuccessful attempt to
force the Commonwealth to select one
Of the half dozen counts against Mais
instead of trying him on the blanket
indictment under which Walter
Legenza last week was convicted and
sentenced to die in the electric chair
on october II.
Judge Ingram overruled the motion.
The defense Immediately asked and
was granted short recess.

The rebellion stopped all work ex-

they were locked in.
Warden Herbert Smith disclosed the
strike at Cherry Hill and said there
has been no disorder"
Smith said the movement started
at Graterford was "for a law reducing
sentences"
The prisoners are serving under the
Ludlow law, which provides for min

said.
Officials at Cherry Hill said there
was no truth to rumors that the con-
victs went on strike because Warden
Smith refused their demands for an
increase in pay, which is now 10 cents

PARIS, May BIN the sweltering
heat Of a tropical August night, six
years ago, Jean Galmot, adventurer
and m-millionaire. died. in rack
ing pain Of poison, in French
Guiana.
Real estate agent, amateur detec-
tive, spy. novelist, explorer, gold
hunter. Spectator, Galmot also was
a millionaire, owner of steamship
lines, philanthropist, and ardent
lover. He had loved Arlette Simon
Stavisky too we'll for his own good.
Life had been full OF adventure
for Jean Galmot, from the day OF
his marriage, at st. Petersburg, to
the daughter of an American consul.
He dissipated his own and his wife S
fortune in a ceaseless round Of
casinos, night clubs and race
courses. His angry father-in-law
sent him to Guiana to start life over
again.
GalmOt becomes wealthy
Galmot worked hard and was
successful. He found mineral gold
and liquid gold-he mined and ne
made rum. During the war he
piled I'D millions, and he returned
to Paris. housed his business offices
in an entire building in the Champs
Elysees-and met Stavisky.
Bad days followed, although he
had been elected to the chamber OF
deputies from Guiana He fell in
love with Arlette.
NJ. Edmond Pachot, police COM
missioner. had been hot ON the Sta
visky trail. In 1926, Galmot told
the commissioner where the swim
dler and his gang we're hiding.
Go to the Villa of the Angels
(strange name for such an evil
rendezvous at No 10 Rue Des
Danes. in Marly-le-Roi," he said
land you will find him."
Stavisky Vows Vengeance
why do you tell me this?" the
commissioner asked.
Because / love Arlette Simon,
and 1 want to take her away from
that foreigner" Galmot told him.
The gang was rounded up, to
Stavisky'S Stupefaction. Which OF
our gang is not here?" the swim
dler asked. "Ah. it is Galmot. He
will pay for this. I will have his
life, the pig"
Two years later. in far-away Gui-
ana. Jean Galmot was seized with
cramps at his palatial home. Taken
to the hospital, he accused his cook,
Adrienne, a buxom black. of having
poisoned him with bouillon.
Scandal Bares Poisoning
On his death bed, having con-
fessed to a priest, Galmot spent his
last breath in a curse: "Ah. the
pigs, the pigs! They got me-"
The coroner sought to call the
death a suicide. The court decided
it was a natural death" Every one
in Guina knew Galmot had been
executed, but it took six years to
discover why. The long arm of Sta
visky. reaching over the Atlantic
had paid plenty of gold for venge-
ance
Only when the Stavisky scandal
broke over France like political
thunder storm. were some of the
secret discoveries of the French pO-
lice released enough of them tC
know why Jean Galmot died.
