DIRECT QUERY
LAUGHED OFF,
BY PRESIDENT
Roosevelt Feels However That
Further Adjustments May Be
Found Necessary
NATIONS DEBT STILL HIGH
Money Value And Indebted
ness Still Out Of Line In Ad-
ministration's Opinion
NATIONS DEBT STILL HIGH

WASHINGTON, March 6. WD -
President Roosevelt today said he
feels the dollar and the country's
debt structure are still out of line,
although great progress has been
made in readjusting them.
Although Mr.. Roosevelt feels that
there still should be further adjust
ments, indications were that he had
nc thought of resorting to further
devaluation of the dollar to affect
the domestic situation.
To a direct question as to whether
future devaluation was in prospect,
the President laughed and shook his
head. ..'
Mr.. Roosevelt expressed belief
that the debt burden has been re-
lieved enormously, but that the
debt column of the national bal
ance sheet is still much too high.
AS the President has explained
previously, the administration has
been seeking to readjust the nation
al economic situation in two ways
by reducing the great volume of
debts themselves and by raising pri-
ces so that it is esier for debtors to
pay their obligations.
AS to how much further he be-
lieveS this process should go, par
ticularly with respect to prices, Mr..
Roosevelt gave no indication.
Prices of foods have been raising
sharply, due in great part to the
AAA program and the drought, but
in other lines the changes have not
been as great.
To Retain Margin
The dollar now stands at 59.06
cents of its former gold value. Mr..
Roosevelt retains congressional au-
thority to make further adjustments
only between the range of SO and go
cents.
That margin. according to all pre-
sent indications, he will retain for
trading purposes when and If the
time comes to consider monetary
Stabihzation agreements with other
nations"
The Presidents remarks were in
terpreted in some quarters as indi-
eating desire on the part of the
administration to promote further
increases in domestic price levels
without interfering with the pres
ent gold weight of the dollar.
Devaluation of the dollar on Feb
ruary l, 1884, to 59.06 per cent Of its
former gold content has been diSap-
pointing to some as a stimulant to
domestic prices.
From the extreme low of 60.2 In
March. 1888, the commodity price
index of the bureau of labor statis-
tics had risen to 1916 per cent on
March 2, 1885. The index level is
based on the average 1926 level as
100.
1t has been understood that the
administration was deSirouS or
boosting domestic prices to some le-
vel around the 1926 average. AL
though officials never have set any
definite goal.

SACRAMENTO, March 6. UP
A substantial increase in liquor
taxes above the rates proposed in
the administration tax program will
be sought in both houses of the leg
islature, Senator viii r. Sharkey
revealed today.
The movement to obtain more
revenue was based on discovery that
rates in other states lar exceed
those in California.
Governor Frank F.. Merriam pro-
posed a 33 l-3 per cent jump in the
state on wine and beer, which is
now two cents a gallon, and q levy
of 40 cents a gallon on "hard liq-
uor." Both these were slated to
be raised, Sharkey understood, re-

AIR TRAVEL IN THE NORTH

Widespread publicity given the airpane crash at Point Barrow in which Will Rogers and Wiley Post lost their lives and the disappearance of the Arthur Hines plane with the pilot and three passengers aboard has created an ncor rect and inaccurate impression of air travel in Alaska.
 Aviation has been of the prime factors in the deve opment of the Territory and the records show that travel by air unusually safe means of transportation Dur ing the fiscal year ending June 30 1885 than l3OOO passengers travelled more than two million miles in air planes Alaska and during that period 225OOO pounds of mail distributed to remote posts of the Hast frontier
 Hardly week passes that life is not saved or human suffering avered by the medium of arpane transportation This passengers travelled from kechkan in South east Alaska Nome the west coast in ordinary commer cal equipment on regular scheduled flights in less than "A hours and flights between Juneau and Seattle in single day cornmonp lace
 True accidents such the PosRogers tragedy and the Hines disappearance do but hundreds o lives lost every year by automobile traffic mshapS In cOmpa with the number of miles flown the deaths from air travel is much less than the toll mounting annually the paved highways of the StaeS.-Alaska Juneau Empire.

VICTIM OF GANG
 TALKED TOO MUCH

Boston, Nov. 22.-(Up3. .-Boston's latest spot" killing was blamed to- day on a shake-down gang that silenced a member who talked too much to the wrong people. The vic. tim, Fred Thomas, g, former num- Der pool agent and truck driver, was lured to his death Wednesday night by a girl member of the gang, po- lice believe. t,
 authorities theorized that Thomas was a member of a gang organ- ized more than a year ago by the late Jack Darrish of Revere to prey upon. owners of small clothing es- tablishment. Darrish has since been slain.
 The report was strengthened by identification of an automatic pis- tol which killed Thomas as the weapon with which Louis Weiner, South End clothier, was wounded after refusing to pay protection" ."
 Thomas bullet-riddled body was found on secluded Haven avenue, Mattapan. Nearby were the re- volver and an abandoned autonio- bile.
 More than 20 witnesses have been questioned. One, Edward P. Kelly, Roxbury automobile salesman, is still detained. The automobile found at the scene allegedly was owned by Kelly's employer and was used by Kelly.

 A little nervousness developed over the French cabinet situation rulnors floating about Wall street of new moves in the economic crisis there and this set of the wave of profit taking and general selling.
 At the peak of selling losses ex- tended to more tlian 4 points, but the list developed resistance and came back as, the market closed. Trading quieted and tickers caught up with quotations.
 Near the close Bethlehem Steel-- after showing a loss of more than 3 points --came back to 48 1-2 for 25-8 loss. U. s. Steel at 48 had 2 points loss. American Can at t42 1-2 was of 3-8. General Motors was a point lower at 57 1-8. Westinghouse had 3 1-2 points loss at 03.
 Rails were strong early, carload ings showing only a normal season. al decline, and the average pushed into a new high. But they joined in the selloff and were among the first to display resistance. New York Central at 25 3-4 had 5-8 loss and Atchison, Topeka & Santa F'e at 51 3-4 had 1 IA loss.
 Metal shares broke, U. s. Smelling dropping below 100. One feature was strength in American Tele- phone, which went to Q new high since 1881 at 154. The sell of only pared the gain slightly.
 The break in stocks accompanied a drop in cotton, which had losses of as much as $1.00 bale, while grains finished lower. Foreign cur- rencies firmed in relation to the dollar, the Dutch guilder coming mack sharply after yesterdays break of around 1-2 cent.

SAUL MESSENGER
 REWARD DOUBTED

Boston, Nov. 22- UP)-strong opposition had developed today against permitting Saul Messinger of Brooklyn, N. r., to share in the $20,000 reward for capture of the Millen brothers and Abe Faber, ex- ecuted killer bandits. Messinger, who testified against Irving and Murton Millen at their murder trial, was the former friend who pointed out the bandit brothers to police at New York hotel. The executive council was to resume a public hearing this afternoon on recommendation of State Police Commissioner Paul c. Kirk for al- lotment of the reward.
 Lieutenant Charles II. Eason and Detectives Edmund O'Brien and John Fitzsiinmons of the New York police said Messinger only gave them information concerning the Millens after IA hours of question: ing and when he feared that his sweetheart was in danger of arrest. Many persons have claimed share in the reward. Councillor Daniel H. Coakley said MessInger was "am- ply rewarded when he was not sent to the electric chair or to prison for life as an accessory"

GOATS LIKE TO
 CHEW MONEY

(Continued from Page l.)
 The goat cases, of which there aro some nearly every week, receive sympathetic attention. Miss Costi- gan always asks for the corpus de- licti, but nobody ever sends her the whole goat. They always shoot 1t and forward the posthumous meal.
 Surprise About Goats {
 You'd be surprised, too, about the condition of the money out of goats stomach, she said. Some times I can boil it out and it's nearly as good as new"
 Miss Costlgan and 89 assistants in a vast, skylighted room at the treasury department spend all their time redeeming money, which has been worn, burned, soaked, torn, frayed and dropped by mistake into bottles of ink. They handle about $1, ,750, 100000 worth year, includ- ing that eaten by goats.
 The toughest job Miss Costigar had lately concerned the owner of a Tennessee hot dog stand. It caught fire one night and the fire department snickered, because he hadn't paid his fire fighting dues. When the ashes cooled his cash register was a hunk of tin, some ashes inside. The ashes once had been $5000, his life savings. So he dumped the cash register into a truck and brought 1t to Miss Cos tigan. who spent a month with a microscope, examining it's contents.
 Was An Honest Man
 "He was an honest man." she said. We found that the cash reg ister had contained $20 more than he thought 1t did an we paid him of in full"
 About that same time midwest ern woman claimed she had shov- eled a fortune in currency into her furnace. with the waste paper. She sent along the evidence, consisting of large box of sand and ashes.
 Miss Costigan went through this with a teaspoon and a magnifying glass. It took her long time, and when she was through, all she had was some charred corners from magazine pages. She doesn't know which magazines. She does know the woman was no lady, and she still has the ashes, in case of argu- ment.
 Another woman may or may not have been crooked. Miss Costigan isn't sure. Her customer sent some ashes which she claimed represent ed $l37. The experts could find only $27 worth. Maybe the rest flew away. Miss Costigan's mind remains open and If her client can produce some more ashes, she'll get some more cash,

 New York, Nov. 22.-(UP)-Two powerful groups of industrialists and poll of national sentiment by the Literary Digest hit the national administration with stiff jolts to- day. Wall street betters dropped odds on President Roosevelt's re- election.

 The Literary Digest poll, which had most. to do with shortening of betting odds on President Roose- velt's 1886 chances, included 40.05S votes from three midwestern and two southern staets. Ballots asked the question: DO you now approve the acts and policies of the Roose- welt New Deal to date?"

GIRL BRIDE MAY
 HAVE BEEN CAUSE

(Continued from Page l.) was known that he came to New York from Cincinnati soon after Mrs. Salamon started annulment proceedings, but she said he had not seen the girl.
 Wanted to See Mary
 According to the slain youths father, Philpot came here from New York from time to time, apparently to try to see Mary or keep track of what she was doing.
 The elder Smith also said that Mary, unbeknown to her mother, had visited his son at the Smith home several times.
 Mrs. Salamon earlier had re- counted how young Smith visited Mary frequently at the old mansion which the Salamons rented here. But she insisted that there were no relations of any kind between them except that they were friends"
 All morning District Attorney Vincent Dorsey questioned Philpot, who was brought here from New York last night; MT. and Mrs. Sal- anon, Mary, and others. When he took time out for lunch at D. in., he said:
 No one is under suspicion parti- cularly. We are convinced Smith was murdered but we don't know by whom. The circumstances preclude the possibility of suicide"
 Mfr and Mrs. Salamon went home, but were to return for further questioning. Dorsey said Mary was remaining willingly" in his office Philpot also stayed there, but did not see her.
 Case More Confusing
 Mysterious circumstances of the staying grew more confusing as au- thoritieS tried to trace young Smiths movements.
 He left his home late Saturday in truck to deliver flrewood. Accord ing to Mrs. Salamon, he delivered the woot to their home and stayed for dinner at her invitation.
 According to his father, the youth arrived home In the truck about g p. m, took the family Ford and left again. That was the last any one saw of him, so far as is known now.
 Later the car was found back in the Smith garage, nine miles from the field in which his body was found. Whether Smith himself or some one else returned the auto mobile no one knew.
 Authorities felt certain that he was killed some other place and his body taken to the field near the Salamon residence.
 They believed he had been dead at least three days before his body was discovered yesterday.
