fevered preparation. They were

and they waltzed decorously out

their seats. Maybe you'll have
better luck this time"

Oracle came, too. Oh, Walter,

"Oh, Walter" Helen laughed,
then as if a flash of lightning

pain.
Walter and Mamie got her

Walter rushed to the phone.
"You never had this before"

Without argument Walt

minutes later DR.. Morgan was
there.

By the Associated Press.
Solicitor General Stanley Reed today
asked the Supreme Court to advance
for hearing on or about November 20
the Hoosac Mills case involving the
validity of the processing tax under
A. A. A.
Counsel for the Hoosac Corp urged
the court not to hear the case before
December 9.
Chief Justice Hughes announced the
court would take the matter under
consideration. It appeared probable
the Hoosac Mills case would be the
first of the New Deal controversies to
to come before the court for hearing
on constitutional questions.
The Government is said to be par
ticularly anxious that a decision by
the court on the validity of the tax
will be delivered before the meeting
of Congress in January.
Counsel for the Hoosac Corp. stated
outside of court that he considered
the constitutional question presented
too important to be crowded." He
also said his associates in the case
had other court business requiring
their attention.

BALTIMORE. October 23.-Threats
of Statewide strikes loomed in the
background today as municipal off,
cials from Cumberland-one of the
trouble zones-gathered here today for
a conference with State Works Prog
ress Administration heads.
Difficulties over prevailing wage
rates in Prince Georges County and
in Cumberland presented an imme-
diate and pressing problem to Francis
H. Dryden, State w. P. A. head, with
labor leaders at the latter point
threatening general walkout Mon
day.
Backed by Mayor.
Backed by the Allegany Trades
Council and the Cumberland Cham
Der of Commerce, Mayor George w.
Legge and the City Council told Dry
den that unless demands for a re-
adjustment of wages and hours were
met the strike would result.
Mayor Legge advised Dryden the
city backed a readjustment to provide
a minimum wage scale of so cents an
hour. The demand and the strike
ultimatum were wired to Federal Re
lief Administrator Harry L. Hopkins.
In Prince Georges County only nine
workers appeared on a State-spon-
sored project after IS had been told
to report. They complained the Sc
curity wage payments, under the pres
ent scale. would average about %
cents an hour.
Cite Higher Pay Elsewhere.
On the nearby Berwyn Heights Re-
settlement Administration project,
dubbed "Tugwelltown," they claimed,
workers were receiving As cents
hourly.
Possibility of Statewide strikes was
forecast by Joseph P McCurdy, presi-
dent of the Maryland-District of Co.
lumbia Federation of Labor. who as
serted the walkouts were certain to
come unless the w. P. A. met pre-
vailing wage rates.
Dryden postponed settlement of the
problems pending report by D. L.
B. Fringer. his assistant, who sat In
at a conference in Cumberland yes
terday.
w. P. A. officials held that security
wages and hourly wages could not be
compared fairly. in that security
wages are paid regardless of bad
weather which may prevent men from
working. Hourly wages are not paid
for time lost.
Communities to Lose.
1t was pointed out that communi-
ties where labor objected to the pres
ent scale were likely to be the losers.
The Federal allotment for each prof.
ect is specified. and the political sub
division is required to make up the
difference.
Should Dryden allocate more money
from the Federal funds for labor. the
community would be required to
make up the remainder.
State Relief Administrator Harry
Greensteir struck an optimistic note
in requesting the Federal Government
to allot Maryland s799,572 for direct
relief during November.
Word has gone out from Washing
ton that direct relief will end Novem-
Der with the exception of some
localities" ASreenstein's request in

LONDON, England. october 23.-
The British government has decided
to issue invitations for naval confer
ence to meet in London December or
3, it is learned today.
The conference is made necessary
because of article % of the London
naval treaty which provides that a
new conference shall be held within
a year after the denunciation Of the
treaty by any signatory. japan formally
denounced the London treaty last
December.
The provisions of the treaty expire
for all signatories at the end of 1886,
and a conference would in any case
be convened sometime soon.
The prospects of the conference are
viewed here with extreme gloom, in
view Of the Japanese demand for a

Oriental euphemism for parity.

COOPER CHARGED
|. WITH TAKING CASH
U. S. Attorney Asserts He
Pocketed Funds Through
Bank ManipuIations.

Charging that Col Wade H. Cooper,
by a series of ''manipulations," paid
into his own pockets illegally funds
of the defunct Commercial National
Bank. the Government today asked a
jury in District Supreme Court to
convict the former bank president of
violation of the national banking laws.
Assistant United States Attorney
Irving Goldstein. launching the long
delayed prosecution of Col. Cooper,
outlined with the aid of blackboard
intricate financial transactions involv-
ing the so-called merger of the Com
mercial Bank and the Continental
Trust Co., whereby, the prosecutor de-
clared, Cooper defrauded the Com
mercial Bank for his own profit.
The jury consisting of 10 men and
2 women of varied occupations, was
selected after an hour and a half of
questioning and challenges.
Transactions Held Approved.
Replying to the opening statement
by Government counsel, William E.
Leahy. chief of counsel for Cooper,
told the jury the charges are based on
transactions mot conducted at night
like a thief in the dark" but with
| the approval of the controller of the
currency and the stockholders of both
banks.
GoldStein explained that on Jan.
uary 18, 1880. an agreement was
reached between the Commercial
Bank and the Continental Trust Co.
whereby the Commercial took over the
Continental's deposit liabilities to the
extent of s2,8O3,906 and received as
security for these liabilities the en-
tire assets of the Continental, having
book value of about S4,000,000.
Cooper. at the time. was president
of the Continental and on the con-
solidation became also president of
the Commercial Bank.
LAS it started out" the prosecutor
stated, "the transaction was innocent
enough. but. as it turned out later,
it gave the defendant Cooper op-
portunities to perpetrate what we con-
tend were deliberate frauds"
Loans Held Illegal.
Goldstein said it is the contention
of the prosecution that certain divi-
dends paid by the Continental and
certain loans made with Commercial
funds to the Continental Bank were
illegal and tainted with fraud.
"At several times" the Federal at
torney said, "the Continental Trust
Co. declared dividends when it had
not a penny of assets. All the assets
had been taken in as security by
the Commercial National Bank. In
order to pay these dividends, Mr..
Cooper, who was president of both
institutions, and financially interested
in both, advanced money from the
Commercial to the Continental and
charged it to what was called an
incoming expense account in the
Commercial Bank. Some of that
money was paid in dividends to Mr..
Cooper"
BY such "manipulations," the prose-
cutor charged. the Commercial paid
