FUND MISUSE.
BY COOPER
CHARGED
Apple Trees Sprayed
on Farm Held By
Commercial Bank

Funds advanced by the CONNER
cial National Bank to the Cont
mental Trust Company and
credited to the latter's account
were used for spraying apple trees
on a farm owned by the Cont
mental in Loudoun county, Va.
This was the gist Of testimony
given in District Supreme Court
today by Lawrence A. Slaughter,
former vice president Of the Com.
mercial, called as a witness in the
prosecution of Wade H. Cooper,
former president of both institu-
tionS, charged with misapplying
Commercial funds in violation Of
the national banking act.
They Needed Spraying
Mr.. Slaughter told the court
he had inspected the apple trees
and found they needed a spraying
treatment which would enhance
the value of the Continental col.
lateral held by the Commercial
National and implied that pay
ments made by the Commercial
and used for this purpose were
not a dividend as contended by
the Government.
A second advance, the witness
admitted, was inconnection with
Westchester GOng Island real
estate owned by Continental and
held by Commercial. During the
time when Commercial held the
property as collateral security for
the ultimate of the $2,806, 900 de-
post liability assumed by the
bank, the taxes had not been
paid. The money for the taxes
was advanced and charged to Con.
tinental on the disputed income
expense" ledger.
No Mention Of Interest
Then arose the discussion OF
the $4,000 charge on the ledger
which brought out the interest
dispute. At no time was it con-
templated. according to Attorney
william E. Leahy, representing
Col. Cooper, that Continental
would be charged interest on the
deposit liability assumed by Com
mercial and Mr.. Slaughter ad-
mitted that the contract under
which the two banks became az
filiated. made no mention Of in
tereSt charges.

Shortage Of Butter
And Cream in Berlin
MRS. THELMA BUXTON

BERLIN.-A shortage of butter
has recurred in Berlin. In several
sections Of the city it was impos-
sible to purchase butter. In other
districts the small supply that was
available was put aside by dealers
for favored customers. The larger
dairy products houses had no but
ter for sale.
1t also was impossible to secure
supplies of cream in Berlin yes
terday. Whipped cream, a favor
ite German dessert, was not to be
had at any price.
Where dealers have little but

women are again seen in the early
morning at the markets waiting

WILSON DEATH
INDICTMENTS
TO BE ASKED
Officials Will Confer
Tomorrow on Next
Move In Case

Confident that they have suffi.
cient evidence to warrant indict-
ment Of the Surviving principals
in the Wilson murder case, Wash
ington detectives today were pre-
pairing to confer again tomorrow
with States Attorney James H.
Pugh Of Montgomery county,
where the evidence in the year-old
murder mystery will be laid be-
fore the regular grand jury next
month.
Following a conference with
Mr.. Pugh yesterday, it was deter
mined not to call a special session
of the jury, but to place the grow.
ing mass Of data before the regu'
lar session.
Jack Bailey, who is held on a
Federal charge for his alleged
part in the attempted escape Of
his brother, denied any knowl-
edge Of the Wilson murder, it
was learned.
While Wilson was slain in Ia
koma Park. Md, just over the
District line, Washington detec-
tiveS have been working on the
case since it is believed the plot
to slay Mickey" Macdonald was
conceived here, and that Wash
ington gangSters and figures in
the gambling racket had decided
to put Mickey on the spot.
Mr.. Wilson. newspaper route
agent, was shot and killed in
front of the Mcdonald home as
he stopped his car to place news
paper in the mail box.
Mr.. Pugh who has been Co
operating with the Washington
detectives since last December de-
clared the case is "a strong one"
1t is expected that he will seek
first degree murder indictments
and will direct the prosecution of
the case.

of police has not yet been iden-

however, that one of the weapons
is lying at the bottom of the

Marine Band PLAYS

The Marine Band, under the
direction of Capt. Taylor Bran
son, managed to end the concert
last night at the U. S. Capitol
just as the first drops of rain
fell. The crowd filled the Capitol
steps and spread out on the lawn
on both sides. While the front and
wings of the building are respon-
sible for noticeable echoes, the
effect of the softer passages was
not disturbed thereby.
An arrangement Of the first
movement of Dvorak'S New
World Symphony" was richly ap-
plauded. This arrangement, by
Sigfried Scharbau, bassoonist and
composer member of the band,
leaned quite a bit toward the
brass section of the band instead
of the woodwindS. In adapting an
orchestral score to the use Of a
concert band, the violin parts are
usually transferred bodily over to
the clarinetS. This is the plan
favored by Edwin Frankie Gold

Well versed in the effect of diet

F AHEY To TALK
ON HOME LOANS

John H. Fahey, chairman of the
Federal Home Loan Bank Board,
will make a radio address tonight
on relief of home mortgage dis
tress. He will deal particularly
with the new Federal home loan
legislation enacted last week,
which authorized an additional
$1,750,OO0,0OO for completion of
the mortgage relief work of the
Hole.
Steps to encourage more liberal
mortgage terms to home owners
who are not in distress and to in
sure the savings of investors held
in private thrift and home-financ-
ing institutions will be discussed
by Mr.. Fahey. The talk will be
broadcast over the red network

triton contained in sugar, yet
void OF the harmful effect, crush
ed wheat and pure honey were
combined.
Make This Ten.Day Test
If you are troubled with faulty
elimination, switch to Rice'S Honey
brushed Wheat Bread for ten
days. After the third or fourth
day you will begin to feel more
poppy, your bowels will begin to
move regularly and you will feel
like a different person.
Go to your grocers today and be
sure to get the original and gen.
uine Rice's Honey Krushed Wheat
Bread. Eat slice with your eyes
shut. You'll be surprised at its
marvellous flavor and almost swear
it is full of nut meats. It Is
tastier than other breads because
it contains an abundant supply
of honey.
Be sure to get Rice's Honey
Krushed Wheat Bread. Look for
the moisture proof wrapper with
the Cellophane window that shows
the extra outer coating Of crushed
wheat on the crust.
