Summary Read

In a prepared statement. Corcorar
set out "a summary OF my entire
relations with Mr.. Brewster"
Here Is Corcoran's account OF the
disputed conversation:
Il therefore said 70 Mr.. Brewster
In effect. II your peculiar crit.ca
position is so delicate as you saw, ]
want TO make II clear that I am not
accusing you Of running out, but
that Il Is best that you and ! Dc
bruJally frank now TO avoid per-
sonal misunderstanding as 70 our
relations on 'Quoddy' In the future
IF. as you say. you are not a free
man politically and must take pow
er company support into your cal
citations, then you'll understand
perfectly from now on you can't
expect me to trust you to protect
'ouoddv' or trust your assurances
that well get that Maine power
authority out OF the Maine legisla-
ture.
mr.. Brewster said he wanted 20
see me and that he was making
arrangements to see DR.. Ernest
Gruening. I told Mr.. Brewster that
I would prefer TO see him at the
SAME time that he saw Or. Gruen-
ing so that the conversation could
DC three cornered.'
Farley Arranged
Talking alternately to DR.. Cru
cring and to me. Mr.. Brewster ar
ranged an appointment with both OF
US for las In Statuary hail In the
capital. The vote was 10 come be-
tveen 2 and $50 I met DR.. Gruen-
ine in Statuafv han at lao. Mr..
brewster was late. He arrived az
two minutes Of 2. The vote occurred
ar 2:t9.
Mr. Brewster then made it clear
10 d.. Gruening and me that he
was not only not going to speak for
the substitution OF the senate sec
tons but that he was not going to
vote for them. This was the first
indication I had had that he would
not even vote for the amendment.
DIR. Gruening argued with him
while I stood by sayinv nothing.
d.. Gruening's argument n subs

CHICAGO, May 4 Q.N.SO.
Freak spring storms that ranged
from a baby blizzard in southern
Wisconsin to tornado winds in
Arkansas, Kentucky and Indiana
left Is persons dead today in the
Central States. The injured were
estimated at 100.
Clearing skies we're promised
today, but wintry temperatures
persisted over a wide belt of the
Middle West.
Snow plows were needed at La
Crosse, Wis, to clear the roads
after a five-inch fall of snow.
With the mercury reading 80 de-
grees a blanket of snow fell over
southern Wisconsin and north
eastern Illinois.
Torrential rains drenched Illi-
noiS and brought the threat of
floods in Mississippi River towns.
Arkansas, swept by a miniature
tornado and a severe electrical
storm, counted nine dead and
scores injured. Similar storms
caused three deaths in Kentucky
and others in Tennessee and
Texas. Tennessee and Louisiana
communities suffered heavy dam
age from windstormS.

To STAY,
FRIENDS SAY

Reports that w. D. Herridge
Canadian Minister to the United
States, will resign his diplomatic
post to seek a place in the Do
minion Parliament were denied
today at the Canadian Legation.
H. F. Feaver, secretary to the
minister, said that, so far as he
knows, the reports are unfounded
and that Mr.. Herridge is not con.
sidering resigning from his post
here.
The Minister is now in Ottawa,
the Capital of Canada, and is ex-
pected to return early next week.
Reports are current that Mr.,
Herridge, brother-in-law of Prime
Minister Bennett of Canada, will
lead the campaign for Mr.. Bennett
in the forthcoming general cleo
ton. The Minister was a consid-
cradle figure in the 1880 campaign,
which elected the present govern

UPPER MARLBORO. Md. May
4.-Frank Weinelt, Brandywine
farmer, was a free man again
today after his acquittal yester-
day in the Prince Georges County
Circuit Court of a charge of muir
dering August Matt, a friend, last
Christmas Eve.
The jury deliberated less than
IS minutes after being closeted
alone early in the afternoon.
Previously the jury had listened
to closing arguments for three
hours.
Frank Hall, associated with
States Attorney Alan Bowie in
the prosecution of the case, ad-
mitted before the jury went into
private session that Mr.. Weinelt
would be indicated, saying that
the States circumStantial evil
dence was weakened considerably
when Mrs. Meta Brodhaute re-
fused to identify Weinelt as the
slayer. The State has insisted
that the two men fought over the
affections of the housekeeper.
Mrs. Brodhaute returned to
Towson, Md, today. This is her
second tragedy, brought to light
when she admitted that she and
Matt we're engaged. Her first

RIVERDALE, Md, May 4.
Harry A. L. Barker, candidate for
mayor, today charged his oppon-
ents, Mayor w. A. Carson and
others, with promoting a false
and malicious whispering cam
paign" against him.
A circular was distributed today
from home to home containing
the charge and his platform.
Mayor Carson denied the
charges and blamed them on
partisans who have brought per-
sonalities into the town election.
In strong language. Mr.. Barker.
a. lawyer. declares in his state
ment that he entered the race
with the assurance that there
would be no mud-slinging. He
says now that his political en-
emies are describing him as a
real estate promoter who seeks
to cheaper real estate values
and control building regulations.
These and other charges are
false, he says, and asserts he has
made no political promises in his
campaign.

Robert Allen Edwards, %, Amer

Told to be brave by a grief

But he did not talk about that
courtship which was climaxed by
the American tragedy" of last

NEEDY IGNORED
BY BODY, SAYS
EXECUTIVE
Dealt Only With GIittering
GeneraIities, Misrepresented
Views, He Charges

Political circles buzzed with ex-
cited discussion here today over
President Roosevelt's action in
throwing down the gauntlet Of de-
fiance to the United States Cham
Der of Commerce.
That organization stood pub
licly charged by the President
with misrepresenting in no small
degree the very thing for which
it existS-the views of the average
American business man.
This was the retort which the
President made to the Chamber
after it had spent a week here
condemning New Deal policies.
The President expressed the view
that the average business man
favored the New Deal.
Needy Held Ignored
He further asserted the nations
Industrial leaders had ignored the
plight of the needy in their con-
vention here, calling attention to
the fact that not a single speech
contained any mention of the
human side of the economic prob
lem-the unemployed and the
aged destitute.
The business leaders, he said,
merely had made glittering gen
eralities and passing reference
about hating to see people Starve.
That, he declared, could scarcely
be viewed as constructive.
The President made his public
reply to the industrial leaders
during his press conference. In
response to questions, he said he
had made little speech the pre-
vious day to the Business Advisory
Council of the Department of
Commerce, which had called on
him. This council includes about
thirty of the nations leading in
dustrialistS who also attended the
Chamber of Commerce conven-
ton.
The President went on to say
he had recalled to the. council
that during the first year he
served at Albany the disastrous
Triangle fire occurred. From $50
to 200 girls lost their lives, all
because the doors to the fire es-
capes were locked.
AS the result of an inveStiga-
ton conducted by Robert F.. Wag-
ner, now Senator, and Miss Fran
ces Perkins, now Secretary of
Labor, a factory inspection law
was proposed. Almost all New
York was for it, including a ma
jority of the manufacturers, the
President said.
ASSaiIS Chamber
Then, changing suddenly from
q casual tone to one almost vehe-
ment, he snapped out that it was
the Chamber of Commerce and
the Merchants Association which
came forward to vigorously oppose
that inspection law. He cited
other instances in which the
Chamber of Commerce had op-
posed measures which the major
ity of business men favored.
The argument advanced by
Chambers of Commerce, he said,
has been to let business men cor
rect their own problems. Expert
enoe has shown. he added. how
ever, that unless there is some
check by Federal, State or mu-
nicipal authorities, business will
ignore it's own rules.

D. c. DIVORCE
BILL FAVORED

Possible passage during this
session of Congress of the Cope
land bill to liberalize the Districts
divorce laws was forecast today by
observers, who pointed out that
no opposition to the measure had
developed at hearings of Senate
District subcommittee.
Jean Boardman. divorce lawyer,
testified before the Senate sub
committee in charge of the bill
yesterday that the stringent local
divorce law had failed in its in
tended purpose. He declared:
"The sponsors of the District
law thought they could discOur-
age divorce. Yet the District
has one of the highest per
capita divorce rates in the
Union, and together with New
York sends the most couples to
Reno.
"If the divorces that are OBJ
tanned by District couples in
other jurisdictions, notably near
by Maryland and Virginia, were
taken into account, Washington
would lead the list"
The divorce bill approved by
the subcommittee would permit
the granting of either absolute or
limited divorce on the grounds Of
cruelty, adultery, desertion for
two years, habitual drunkenness
for one year, and conviction of a
felony involving moral turpitude
in which the penal sentence is
served in whole or in part.
