MOVE FOR SENATE
BOND AID CHARGED
Chase National Official, in
Cuba, Accused of Bid
to Nye and Wheeler.
BY the Associated Press.

6y Lne ASSOClateQ FTeSS.
Alleged efforts of Chase National
Bank official in Cuba to obtain the
good Offices Of Senators Nye and
Wheeler in connection with Cuba
bonds, now in default, were recorded
today at a Securities Commission
hearing.
The hearing was one of a number
being held by the commission in an
investigation of the work of Protective
bondholders' committees.
Albert S. Coyle, chairman of such
committee, on which Nye and
Wheeler we're members, identified a
letter he wrote to Thomas H. Healy,
another committee member, saying a
Mr.. Rosenthal." manager of the
Chase Bank in Havana, "ingratiated"
himself with Nye and sought to infiu-
ence Wheeler to work against the
Coyle committee.
During a party in Havana Coyle
wrote, 'Rosenthal deliberately en-
deaVored to induce Wheeler to work
with his crowd and falsely represented
to him that F. B. P. C. Committee act
ually represented s17,OOO,O0O of the
bonds"
Inc F. B. P. c. referred to is the
Foreign Bondholders Protective Coun-
Gil, a government-fostered committee
set up to aid American holders of
foreign bonds generally. Coyle has
charged at the hearing that the coun-
Gil was controlled by the Chase and
other banks.
No payments have been received
from Cuba on the bonds.

one earthquake region in Scandinavia
For the eastern United States, how
ever, it is purely plausible speculation
says Capt. Heck. Nobody has ever
even located the crack. If it exists, ii
is too far down to get at. There
have been some terrific earthquakes
in the past along the st. Lawrence
Arkansas belt, including the biggest
one ever recorded in the United States.
The center of this one was at New
Madrid, Mo, early in the nineteenth
century.
Quakes Likely to Be Light.
The grain of comfort Is that Quakes
along this belt, while they are apt to
come at any time, should not be eX-
pected to cause any terrible catas-
trophe. Most of them are so mild
that they have not even been recorded
in the past. The same holds true for
the Atlantic coast line belt, to which
they are apt to cross over. One notable
exception has been the Charleston,
S. c.. quake, but this apparently was
along another, shorter crack.
The existence Of the belts can be
shown quite definitely in the case of
the State of Tennessee. West Ten
nessee is in the st. Lawrence Arkansas
belt. East Tennessee is in the coast
line belt where it swings over into the
Blue Ridge range and where quakes
occur with the greatest frequency.
The center of the State lies between
the two belts ana has no quakes at
all. The District of Columbia is like
ly to be caught in quake originating
in either belt.

In fact. it is said that even the
eternal disarmament optimist, Norman
Davis, does not want to attend that
meeting. He is supposed to believe
that 1t should be called a rearmament
rather than a disarmament confer.
ence. Word here is that Britain will
open the conference by telling il
directly or indirectly that it wants &c
more cruisers added to- the so II
already has. France is supposed to
say it cannot continue within treaty
limits. Japan will present a demand
for parity with Britain and the United
States.
1t is a reasonable probability that
the United States delegation will try
to postpone the meeting.
Shift in News Method.
There are indications that the New
Deal publicity department has adopted
the Notre Dame shift.
Regularly, every few months, the
State Department has been handing
out report from our Havana envoy
Je1 Caffery, showing how we'll the
Cuban trade treaty is working. As
this is the only trade treaty which
has yet shown any substantial results
continuous stress was considered ad-
visable. But the stress was so contin-
uous that newsmen around the State
Department passed the last few Caf-
fiery announcements into receptacles
which the Government provides for
its most inconsequential material.
The other day the bi-monthly
hosannahs about the Cuban trade
treaty came out as usual, but this
time from the Treasury Department.
The New Deal publicists decided to
try it on another set of newsmen in
hopes that they had never heard
about it before.

COAL TAX BEGINS,
FOES AWAIT TEST
IS Per Cent Levy Under
Guffey Tax CIamped
Upon Industry.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Federal Government imposed a
Is per cent excise tax on the Nations
bituminous coal producers today in an
unprecedented attempt to regulate the
industry.
Under the law. the tax became ef-
fective today, although it will not be
collected until January 2. Those OF
the $4,000 producers who comply with
'Little N. R. A." code rules to be Su-
'pervised by the National Coal Com
mission will receive rebates of 80 per
cent of the tax.
Already opponents of the Guffey
coal act. defeated in efforts to obtain
an immediate order restraining the
Government from assessing the levy.
have undertaken legal moves designed
to test the laws conStitutionallty in
the Supreme Court.
1000 Owners Accept Code.
The Coal Commission said today
approximately 1000 mine owners had
agreed to abide by the codes. While
this number is small, it was said,
these mines produce nearly half OF the
countrys soft coal tonnage.
While a few of the large companies,
including the Pittsburgh Coal Co.,
announced they intended to with
hold adherence to the codes, COM
mission attorneys said the Govern
ment. a large consumer, was pre-
pared to stop all coal purchases from
non-signers.
H. J. Hunt, acting general counsel,
expressed the opinion that railroads
holding mail contracts and other
holders of Government contracts also
may have to buy code coal,
Congress enacted the Guffey law at
the insistence of President Roosevelt.
It was pictured as means OF ena-
bling producers to pay higher wages.
1t provides for the election of price
fixing boards. creation of district
boards to draft the wage and hour
codes and requires operators to rec
ognize unions if the miners want
them.
Carter Case Pending.
Counsel for James w. Carter, presi-
dent of the Carter Coal Co. of West
Virginia, failed to obtain from District
Supreme Court temporary injunc-
ton restraining the Government from
imposing the tax, although he did
succeed in getting an injunction re-
,straining Carter's company from ac-
cepting the code.
! Immediately his counsel took an
appeal to the District Court of APP
peals, move which opened legal ave-
,nues directly to the Supreme Court of
the United States. Carriers lawyers
sought out Chief Justice Hughes yes
terday and asked him to grant an
immediate restraining order. Hughes
replied he thought it a matter for
the full court. now in recess, to decide.
The next conference of the justices
will be November 9. They could give
q decision November II, the next de-
cision day of the court.

You Will note two irregular
- lines of dots. One starts in
the st. Lawrence Valley and proceeds
through New York and Ohio SOUTH
westward to Missouri and Arkansas
One starts in eastern Maine. follows
the Atlantic coastal plain south to
Virginia. ard then swings slightly
westward into the Blue Ridge noun

You will note further that there
are two thin lines of black dots-one
in New York State and the other in
Georgia-which run between the Two
main lines.
1t is important to understand this
picture in order to understand the
earthquake which shook a large part
of the East early this morning. Those
dots represent earthquakes of record
during the past century. up to the
past few weeks. 1t will be seen that
they run in two belts.
Deep Cracks in Earth.
Those lines represent probable deep
cracks in the earth's crust-or, at any
event, lines of least resistance for
waves in the crust set up by sliding
and slipping of rock strata. The belts
are about 200 miles wide. A quake
originating anywhere within the region
of one of these belts is likely to be felt
through the entire area.

In other words, the Geneva hail
seems to be nearer right than the
Italian.
The note will undoubtedly win for
Mr.. Hull this year the Nobel Prize for
ambiguity.
The fundamental explanation for
such euasiueness is supposed to be
that man higher up than Mr..
Hull did not Want any commit
ments or advance promises made
to the League. For several obU-
Gus reasons. also, this Government
did not Uant to assume the reSpon-
Sibility for failing to cooperate
iCith the League on peace en-
deauor. although inpolument in it
could conceiuably lead to war.
The tortures of authorship are
supposed to have beset Mr.. Hull for
three entire days. He spent that
much time composing and recon-
posing, but was satisfied with the final
draft
Precedent Broken.
A. short time before Mr.. Hull dis
patched the note he summoned. of
all people in the world, his predeces-
sor. Henry Stimson. This was the
first time any figure of the previous
administration has been called into
counsel here since President Roose-
velt was inaugurated.
The purpose Uds not social. 1t
seems that Mr.. Stimson had
radioed nationally a criticism, OF the
administration for not cooperating
more closely Otth the League. 1t
is understood on the inside that
Mr.. Hull asked him, in effect:
"JuSt What mould you do under
the circumstdnces7" Mr.. Stimson
gaue the answer and emerged all
smiles.
The inside reason behind thus
honoring Mr.. Stimson is supposed to
be that Mr.. Hull desires to promote
-partisanship on the peace policy
and, specifically. to prevent any
more Stimson radio talks.
Disarmament Picture Gloomy.
The very day on which the forth
coming London Naval Disarmament
Conference will convene, the King of
England will open new Parliament.
