Detroit Officials Acquitted
by Jury on Third
Ballot.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, April 6.-Three veteran
! Detroit bankers were acquitted by
jury Of farmers and housewives in
Federal court today of charges grow
ing out of Michigan's banking COL
lapse of 1888.
The jury decided in three hours
and fourteen minutes that John Bal
lantyne, Herbert L. Chittenden and
John H. Hart had not submitted false
reports on the condition of the First
National Bank to the controller of
the currency, as the Government
contended.
The gray-haired defendants sat
nervously alert as the eight women
| and four men. who had heard nine
days of complicated testimony, filed
back into the court room.
Applause swept the room as the
jurors, in answer to the clerks formal
question, chorused Not guilty" The
bailiff's vigorous pounding went un-
needed as friends rushed forward to
congratulate the jubilant defendants.
The verdict was reached on the third
ballot.
U. S. Attorney Greeted.
The men, who were the ranking
officers of the First National when
the reports were submitted, pushed
through the crowd to shake hands
with Guy K. Bard, Special Assistant
Attorney General, who presented the
Governments case
! Bard said he had no comment to
make on the verdict or on whether
it would have any bearing on trial of
81 other bankers indicted last Sum-
mer on similar charges April Is has
been set tentatively for the opening
in the same court of the trial of
Donald r. Sweeny, Edwin ]. Eckert
and John r. Bodde, former officials
of the Peoples Wayne County Bank,
who are charged with making false
entry.
The indictments were an aftermath
of the collapse of the Guardian Union
group and the Detroit Bankers Co.,
gigantic Detroit holding companies.
/ whose affairs were investigated by the
Senate Banking Committee. The First
National was the principal unit of
the Detroit Bankers Co.
| False Listing Charged.
Ballantyne, Hart and Chittenden
were charged with false listing, $212.-
600 advanced to two Junior officers
of the bank for the purchase of stock
1 l., 1irlnr
notes and discounts" in their reports.
The Government charged the stock
was bought for the bank to recoup a
loss of S64 900 on an earlier transac-
ton and that the transaction should
have been entered under stocks,
bonds, and other securities" owned
by the bank.
The defendants were indicted on
three counts. The maximum penalty
on conviction would have been $4,000
fine and five years Imprisonment on
each count.
In his instructions to the jury Judge
Ernest A. O,Brien said:
1T Is reasonable to conclude that
the stock was the stock of the bank
in essence and in fact, but it does
not follow, because of this, that the
defendants were guilty. *"' The
issue is whether the entry was made
with the purpose of deceit and fraud.
80 I think there the testimony
fairly and reasonably shows there was
no intent or endeavor on the part of
the defendants to conceal what they
purposed to accomplish"

MYSTERIOUS JOE
 IS UNDER ARREST

Joseph Parks, and arraigned at once before the commissioner.
 Active in Drive


 Active in Drive
 The government has been active in it's drive for enforcement of the new law which makes it mandatory for wholesalers and dealers to re- port sales or shipments of brown sugar. The commodity is used in illicit distilleries in the manufacture of alcohol.
 When Travie was arraigned last week, he told the story which led to the arrest of Ingless today. Early this month, he said, he was ap- preached by the mysterious "Joe" and asked to drive a truck to Springfield. He did, and, following orders parked the truck at certain corner and took 8 stroll for an hour. Still under instructions, so his story goes, he started back for Waterbury. Travie said he could not understand it when his truck was halted in Southington on the return trip, and a government inspector placed him under arrest. In the truck there was f. und a shipment of 1000 pounds of brown sugar.
 The arrest of the alleged "Mysteri-> ouC Joe" today recalled the famous "Beano," named as the owner of the huge still seized on South Leonard str-et here last spring "Beano" was mentioned often, but has yet to turn up.

RESIDENTS WILL
 MAKE PROTEST
Continued from Page 1.)

few days members of the Washing ton Park Community club and the Hopeville Community club will hold meetings to protest jointly against the new arrangement that goes into effect next Sunday.
 Heretogore persons using the Syl- van avenue line were able to con- tinue on the buses through EX- change place uot East Main street. This service was of especial value to shoppers. With the buses going to Hill street beginning Sunday the residents of Sylvan Wash ington park Baldwin street section will have to get off the buses at Leavenworth street. If they want to go out to the eastern section of the city or shop on East Main street beyond Exchange place they will have to get transfers or walk.
 Hardship for Shoppers
 The hardship, it was declared to- day, will be felt mostly by shoppers with their arms full of bundles, who will have to walk down Leaven- worth street to get Sylvan avenue bus, when, under the, present ar- rangement, they can get their de- sired transportation along East Main street. Under the new arrangement the South Leonard street bus will cover the Hamilton avenue area.
 Residents of Baldwin street, from Sylvan avenue, down, are served by the Sylvan avenue bus as well as the persons in the Washington par area, hence their protest against the change in routes, also.

 Magnificent Figthers
 "Selassie's soldiers in and around Harar are magnificent fighters. The fierce Kaffa and Deschima tribes men are armed to the teeth with native spears, curver swords and modern Russian and German Mau- ser rifles. Each carries 50 rounds of ammunition and receives an addi- tioal 100 rounds when he hears the war zone.
 Tt is noticeable that many of the soldiers are old men, who, am told are better fighters than the youthss.

home fleet be withdrawn from Med- iterranean waters.
 4-Reports that Mussolini has asked France whether it would be able to protect Italys Brenner pass frontier opposite Austria in event of trouble with Germany.
 Commentators Discuss It
 The general anxiety in Paris is shown clearly by the trend of the leading political commentators to- day, in their discussion of the new peace effort.
 Pertinax, of the Echo De Paris, discussing the possibility of a show down at Geneva, expressed fear that France will lose the support of her carefully nurtured ententes with Russia and the little entente na- tions-Jugoslavia, Roumania, Cze- choslovakia, Turkey and Greece.
 Pertinax and Genevieve Tabouis of the Oeuvre disagree as to the sponsorship of the peace plan as do authoritative sources elsewhere. The oeuvre commentator insists that 1t came from Mussolini him. self; pertinax that it emanated from Laval.
 Pertinax says that it was offered by Laval to Vittorio Cerruti, Ital- ian ambassador and that Cerruti asked at once whether Britain ap- proved 1t. Then, Pertinax reports, Laval outlined the proposal to Sir George Clerk, British ambassador but had been unable to obtain a reply from Britain as to its accep- tability.
 Germany New Factor
 The connection of Germany's im- pending final withdrawal from the league after the necessary two years notice (she withdrew in an- ger over alleged unfairness at the world disarmament conference) was a new factor.
 The report that Italy has asked France if 1t would be able to hold the Brenner frontier against Ger many in case of attack while Italy was occupied in Africa was received with incredulity at first, but it per- sists.
 AS outlined in 8 report from Gen. eva, the peace plan, whether Lavals or Mussolini's, is said to be: 1. Italy would halt its troops in their pres ent positions; 2. The Tigre prov ince of northern Ethiopia would be made an autonomous state under an Italian protectorate; 3. Italy would be given Harar and Ogaden prov inces in eastern Ethiopia; 4. Italy would agree to cession by Britain of its port of Zeila, in British Somali- land, to give Ethiopia an outlet to the sea; s. The rest of Ethiopia would be put under a sort of league mandate, with Italy having the pre- dominant influence; 6. Mussolini would consent to settlement of the whole dispute by the League coun- cil, as victory for the league.
 France Has Her Fears
 Lavaps intensified eagerness to reach peaceable solution seemed directly due to fear that there was danger of stronger British action which would threaten to bring France in conflict with Italy.
 Britain seems to take the view that any gesture at all must come from Mussolini, since he has been branded by the league as an aggres- sor. It is feared here that all Bri- tain will say to the peace offer is that it is up to the league and Mus solini to compose their differences.
 It is likely that soon Britain will ask France flatly for definite re- ply as to its attitude.

 It is indicated that fighting is severe in the south and that Gen Rodolfo Graziani, Italian comman- der in chief on the Italian Somali- land front, is resorting to intensi- fled bombing in hopes that opera tions by infantry in the difficult country may be minimized.
 Surrender Admitted Addis Ababa, Oct. 16.-UP)-An officiau admission that Ras Halle Selassie Gugsa, Tigre chieftain, had deserted to the Italians was made to-day.
 The communique confirming that he had gone over to the enemy stated that he had long been dis gruntled and unpopular with petty and large chiefs in the region and also with the soldiers. It said that he had quietly crossed the Eritrean border last Wednesday with 100 body servants, but that his troops had refused to follow him. Official dom in Addis Ababa scoffed at the deserter's "haziest claims to the throne"
 (Italian official communiQues stated that Gugsa was followed into the Italian camp by 12,000 troops who would fight for Italy--EO.

Officers Moynihan and Shea corroborated this.
 All Officers Denied It
 Attorney Edward F. Sweeney, de- Tense counsel, sought to bring from the Cfficers an admittance that they visited Salinardi to quiet him by other means than cell transference. All officers denied that Patrolman Moynihan stood at the cell door with sleeves rolled up and challenged the accused to come and get what was G ming to him.
 Salinardi is charged with having pu.lched Supernumerary Policeman William O'Dea in the eye and to have resisted the officers attempts tc arrest him on Canal street about 2 o'clock in the morning of July 18th. He was fined on each county of assault and resistance when ar- raigned in city court and took an appeal to the common pleas court. It is the appealed case that is be- ing heard:
 Mothered By Police
 Salinardi made a colorful witness as he testified in his own defense yestreday afternoon. He told of be- ing bothered constantly by police and of once visiting Police Superin- tendent Mclean and Mayor Frank Hayes to complain of the police- mems attitude toward him.
 Captain Cutting today denied em- phatically on cross examination Knowledge of any orders instructing aL policemen to smash up Salinardi should he get into trouble with po- lice.
 The trial was stopped for a mo- r1ent when Officer Moynihan was on the stand to verify his statement about his weight. He had to leave the stand and go to the scales in the court room and weigh himself. The scales showed him to weight PAP pounds, a few more than be be- lieved he weighed.
 Officer Shea testified Salinardi had made statements in the patrol and in the cell that he could lick all the cops in Waterbury.
