RAPED BY OWEN
Oklahoma Former Senator
Says myth" Bankrupted
the World.

The gold standard has been q myth
for 30-odd years and has bankrupted
the world, former Senator Robert L.
Owen of Oklahoma told nearly 400
guests at the fortieth annual banquet
of the Washington College Of Law last
night at the Mayflower Hotel.
The speaker. whose address was
broadcast over Station WJSV, said the
supply of money created by law should
not be controlled by the scarcity OF
any commodity like gold. The wise
thing. he continued, was to remove
gold from domestic circulation.
1.-THE United States is about to es-
tablish sound money, dollars uniform
for debt-paying and purchasing
power" Owen declared. Gold will
be kept in bars and behind bars where
it can do no harm"
Senator Owen formerly was chair
man of the Senate Banking Com
mittee. His topic was "Constitu-
tional Money"
Dean Grace Hays Riley presided at
the banquet. Miss Elizabeth Benson
of the Junior class acted as toast
mistress. Guests included Judge Mary
O'Toole, Justice F. Dickinson Let's,
Commissioner Robert E. Freer and

BYRD TO FIGHT
u. s. EXPENDITURES
Declares Reduction Is Great.
est Fight Before Ameri-
can People.
Nv the Associated Press.

With his economy resolution run
ming the gantlet of the Senate's Audit
and Control Committee, Senator Byrd
Democrat, of Virginia said yesterday:
'The greatest issue before the Amer
lean people now is reduction of govern
mental expenditures. For my part
every effort will be directed toward
this end without impairing the nee
essary functions.
He made the assertion as he gathered
statistics to back up his contention
that q general reorganization of the
Federal Government was needed to
consolidate Overlapping bureaus" and
abolish useless agencies"
"It would result in saving millions
of dollars of taxpayers money" said
the Senator.
He said he had found that 81 bu-
reaus and agencies had been added
to the Federal Government since 1888,
while the number of Federal employees
in Washington increased from IS, ,437
in June, 1888. to 1882 on December
/, 1885. The total Federal pay roll,
meanwhile, had increased from 572,-
09l to 815,789.
The Byrd resolution, reported from
the Senate Rules Committee last week
with q unanimous vote, carried $780,
600 for an investigation. the findings
to be made to the Senate in 1887.
The Virginia Senator carried through
a similar investigation while he was
Governor of his State, and as a result
reduced the number of Virginia gov
ernment departments and agencies by
one third.

BOAT PLANS DASH
TOAD ISLANDERS
Food Supplies and Kerosene
Loaded for Tangier
Merchants.
By the Associated Press.

.
CRISFIELD, Nd, February 15.-
With q request to all who could pos
sibly aid him to stand by" for any
emergency, Capt Andrew Crockett
prepared his 70-foot oyster boat today
for an attempted dash through broken
ice from here to ce-blocked Tangier
Island.
Capt. Crockett said that, weather
permitting, he would sail at daybreak
tomorrow.
H. Laird, who arrived late today by
plane from the island, told him,
Crockett said, that the islanders were
in need of certain foodstuffs and were
using canned foods. He said the
island mail boat was trying to reach
here for supplies.
The veteran waterman loaded his
craft with food supplies and kerosene
for island merchants. He said he
would carry 10 islanders, stranded
here, back to their homes. Among the
number were three lighthouse keepers
who were forced by the heavy ice jams
to abandon their stations.
The keepers were Barney Thomas,
Tangier Lighthouse; Charles Marshall,
Hollands Island Light. and Earl King.
Capt. Crockett said that although
Crisfield Channel and harbor were
open and Tangier Sound was reported
clear, there were many foes and bergs
floating free. Some Of the ice piles
weighed over a ton and could easily
crush Crockett's small craft.
"I don't know whether I will be able
to get across, but will go as far out as
can and look things over before
pushing on" the veteran waterman
said
If his venture Is successful, his boat,
the Nellie Crockett, will be the first
to reach Tangier from Crisdeld since
the freeze set in three weeks ago.
An attempt to carry food across the
ice last week resulted in the death
of a State trooper. A board Of in
quiry appointed by Gov. Harry w
Nice will open an investigation Of the
Inflated expedition in Crisheld Tues
day morning.
Mai. Enoch 3. Carey, State police
superintendent, already has testified
before the board.

MERRIFIELD, Va, February 49,
Isaac E. Vincent, his wife Mary and
their 17-year-old son James are re-
manning In their home here tonight
despite the fact it covers a potential
Inferno.
Hundreds of gallons Of gasoline,
forced to the surface by water that
seeped into a l,000-gallon tank be-
meath the combination home, store
and filling station occupied by the
family, has formed an extensive pool
beneath the cellarless house.
Water began seeping into the tank
yesterday, according to Vincent,
through a pipe connection broken
during the severe cold that froze the
ground to depth of more than feet
Last night, he said, gasoline fumes
were so strong in the house that he
was obliged to open all the windows,
and with the increasing thaw today
the gasoline was forced to the sur
face more rapidly by the heavier water
entering the tank.
Neighbors, hearing Of the plentiful
gasoline supply, visited the place to-
day armed with buckets and scooped
up gallons of the liquid fuel for at
tempted use in their automobiles.
Unable to use any lights or do any
cooking, the family declared they
would nevertheless remain in the
house at least until tomorrow.

NEW YORK, February 15.-New
York's racketeers, whose extortions
have been estimated by investigators
at millions Of dollars year, tonight
faced the prospect of 9s-year jail SEN
tences as the Federal Government
stepped to the fore of the anti-crime
drive with a special assistant attorney
general and an old law with new
teeth.
Coincident with the appointment Of
John Harlan Amen as Federal prose-
cutor in New York for interstate rack
eteering cases came the announcement
that the Sherman antitrust act, re-
vamped in May, 1894, to include un-
derworld monopolies, would be invoked
Under the new sections Of the act
q Jail sentence Of from l to 10 years
and a $4,000 fine may be given. In
vestigators pointed out that as grand
Jury indictments for racketeering usu-
ally carried several counts, 99-year
sentences in extreme cases would be
sought.
The anti-racket drive of Special
Prosecutor Thomas E. Dewey, neces-
sarily confined to violations within
New York County. swept forward al
though Investigators carefully guarded
against advance billing of their next
target.
Amen, a former Marine Corps flyer
intimated that his first investigation
would be against persons indicted
through Dewey's efforts on charges
of running a delivery package racket
in interstate commerce Of butter, eggs
and other foods.
Attempts to curb racketeering In
