That was buxom Diamond Ills"

LONG PLEDGES AID
To B0RAH IN 1886.
Threatens Third Party Move
Unless Liberal Type
Is Nominated.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Long, Democrat. of Louisi-
ana brought his third-party threat
further into the open today with a
fiat assertion that unless one Of the
major parties nominates q man Of
the "Borah caliber" they will be
split wide open"
His statement was taken as new
indication that the Louisiana Sena-
tor will seek to have his say on q
Nationwide scale when the lines be-
gin forming for the 1895 battle.
Although he offered his support to
Senator Borah, Republican, of Idaho
or any one of number of liberals
whom he named. he voiced very little
hope that any Of them would be NOM
mated by either of the old parties.
Promises Split.
And "if they don't do It," Long
said, well have q third party that
will split them wide open"
Telling newspaper men last night
that he didn't give a damn about
party labels" Long offered Borah as
his first choice. Borah. he said. could
have his support whether the Idaho
Republican independent ran ION the
Republican, Democratic, Socialist.
Progressive or any other damn ticket" I"
If the Democrats or Republicans
nominate a man Of that caliber there
will be no third party" he said.
Among the others to whom he
pledged his support If they were given
the nomination were Senators Norris,
Democrat, of Nebraska; Nye. Repub-
lican. Of North Dakota; Wheeler,
Democrat, Of Montana; Frazier, Re-
publican, of North Dakota, and
Thomas. Democrat, of Oklahoma He
mentioned Senator McCarren. Demo-
crat, Of Nevada also, but more tenta-
lively.
Again Hits Roosevelt.
"I'd include Pat McCarran If he'd
stay consistent" he said. ANY of
those men would carry out the idea
of redistribution of wealth"
The louisiana Senator. whose most
recent assaults on the Roosevelt ad-
ministration have led to hints that
administration men are going to give
him the silent treatment" aimed an
other blow at MIR. Roosevelt and his
predecessor.
Nov We don't want any Roosevelts
or Hoovers running again after what
we've seen." he said.
He was non-commital on the ques-
ton whether he himself will head the
third party movement If the old
parties do not make choices accep-
table to him.

What's What

Spectators in Silver
Worrying Treasury
as Prices Leap.
BY PAUL MALLON.
STEAM shovel has been dig
ging in the Treasury front
ward for several DAYS. Some

A STEAM shovel mas been d1g-
~ ging in the Treasury front
~ yard for several days. Some
4 a pasSersby have suspected Mr..
Morgenthau was digging for
gold. Occupants of the largest desks
inside well knew that the real pur-
pose must be to hide the Treasury
from the international silver specu-
lators. At least one Treasury author
ity has suggested privately that it
should be done.
There is no question that Treasury
mentors are worried because the in
ternationalists are making our silver
policy succeed too well.
When the Treasury took the
Siluer bear by the tail, it ,uas toith
the understanding that the critter
Mould play peacefully. The ,Dorld
tods told that silUer prices 1Uould
be boosted gradually to probably
three times the then prevailing
leuel, that possibly t,Do billion
ounces tDOuld be bought.
1t did not take the world long to
catch on to the fact that it could
make money out OF Mr.. Morgenthau.
1t was soon evident that this was a
one-way game. that prices always
went up, that Mr.. Morgenthau always
bought. but never sold. 1t is not
often that the world runs into buyer
like that.
Philanthropy Element Sensed.
What has happened in the silver
world is we'll shown by bulletin
issued recently by the Federated
Chambers of Commerce Of India.

LONG RESIDENT DIES
SUDDENLY AT HOME

Chester De Vries Kraft, resident
of Washington for the last 20 years,
died suddenly yesterday at his resi-
dence. the Dresden Apartments.
A native of Wheeling, w. Va, Mr..
Kraft had been the representative Of
the John Hancock Life Insurance Co.
In Parkersburg, w. Va, before moving
to this city.
He Is survived by three sisters, Miss
Ann E. Kraft, with whom he lived;
Mrs. Lewis N. Tabenner Of Parkers-
burg and Mrs. Nancy E. Weller OF
Baton Rouge, La, and brother, How
ard c. Kraft, Of Oblong, III.
Funeral services will be held at the
residence tomorrow at 10 am. Burial
will be in the family lot ct Wheeling.

1t severely criticized the India gov
ernment for letting any silver go. II
Mr. Morgenthau is constantly going
to buy at higher prices, the Indians
might as we'll wait for the higher
prices.
OF course. every one has figured
that out Speculation has ensued.
The world price has been going
straight up and up. This has been
crowding Mr.. Morgenthau into in
creasing his domestic prices. 1t is
not generally known, but the Treasury
also has been forced virtually to dis
continue silver purchases for a while.
Thus, the Treasury finds itself
pledged to buy a billion more ounces
in a market where the sellers are
holding out for promised top price
Of $129 an ounce. This same silver
could have been bought for IS cents
an ounce before Mr.. Morgenthau be-
came a silver buyer.
Opinions Differ.
Several courses of action have been
under discussion privately for a week.
Some Treasury advisers suggested the
issuance of q statement throwing q
wet blanket on the silver market
They wanted to drop the bears tail
and seek the nearest tree, but they
knew very we'll that the silver Sena-
tors and Father Coughlin would pur-
sue them.
Others have recommended another
automatic per cent increase in the
domestic price whenever the world
price exceeds Mr.. Morgenthau's price.
On the basis OF the 7l-cent price, this
would mean adding three cents plus
1t would also mean that the merry
game will continue indefinitely.
The London agreement wiH not
break up midas game. Under it,
she is ostenSibly permitted to sell
$4,000. 900 ounces OF silper year.
But, under trick clause, she may
accumulate deficiencies in her sales
o tany one year. Last year, she
sold only 10000, 900 ounces. So
this year she could therefore sell
10000, 900 ounces
OF course. India is not the only in
ternational silver speculator. There
are some in China who are said to
be finding smuggling worth while.
Also the telegraph wires still run
from New York and elsewhere to the
free Montreal silver market.

The farmer who has received the
most relief money from the A. A. A.
is the Metropolitan Life Insurance
Co., one of New York's richest cor
porations.
1t is an unadvertised fact that
Metropolitan has acquired thousands
of farms as a result of mortgage fore
closures in recent years.
When the A. A. A. restriction pro-
gram came along. the New Dealers
found the insurance company one OF
the biggest landowners.
Last March /, the A. A. A. released
500 checks to the Metropolitan, cover
ing corn, hog and wheat contracts.
This was only one payment. In fact,
it was delayed because of an inside
dispute caused by Metropolitan's in
sistence on certain changes in the
contract forms. Since the firm is an
absentee landlord, 1t wished a wider
clause written into the contract which
would relieve 1t Of certain obligations.
The matter was adjusted after four
months debate.
Company Unions Gain.
A. F. of L. chiefs are not cheering
over the latest gains in membership,
bringing it up to $4,000 dues-pay-
ing members. The reason Is that the

ously estimates that company unions

MARITAL STATUS
CHARGE DEFENDED
Babcock Claims Figures
Prove Fewer Women in
U. S. Jobs Marry.

The debate over the effect Of the
marital status law on the morals Of
Government workers continued today
when E. C. Babcock, president of the
American Federation Of Government
Employees. replied to yesterdays at
tack by Representative Cochran,
Democrat. of Missouri, by inviting
Cochran to look up the record on the
marriages Of woman Federal employees
before and since the law was enacted.
Babcock castigated by Cochran for
alleging at House Civil Service Com
mittee inquiry that the law was fos-
tering Illicit relationship by young
men and women employed in the Gov
ernment, who feared for their jobs If
they married, said:
Since you appear to doubt the cor
rectness of my statements before the
Civil Service Committee that section
2l3 has had the effect Of deterring
marriage. may suggest to you. as I
yesterday suggested to the Civil Serv-
ice Committee. that you obtain from
the various departments and inde-
pendent establishments. as to their
personnel in Washington. the number
OF marriages of woman Government
workers which took place in each year
since 1920.
Urges Check on Data.
"If you obtain the above mentioned
information. and it does not prove
the correctness Of my judgment with
respect to this matter, I shall be very
happy indeed to agree with your posi-
ton that section 213 has had no effect
on marriage"
Babcock's testimony was given
Tuesday at the hearing on a bill by
Representative Celler. Democrat, of
New York, to repeal the marital
status law which provides for dis
missal Of husband or wife in necessary
reductions of force.
When the A. F. G. E. head was
recalled yesterday at the final session
VI Tic COIilIIlltlee, ana asked II ne
could cite specific cases. he said he
knew of nine and that this is only
part Of the picture"
Refuses to Resign.
IN his assault on Babcock Yesterday
Cochran called for his resignation. but
Babcock said he had no intention OF
getting out.
The Civil Service Committee will
not have report ready for about 10
days because 1t is the intention of
Chairman Ramspeck to wait on the
printed hearings before getting his
committee together.
Whatever the committees recon-
mendations may be, however, 1t is
certain that any move toward repeal
will find stormy going in the House
Chairman Ramspeck has found cppo-
sition sentiment there. and Cochran
let 1t be known yesterday that he
would fight any effort to do away with
the law.
