Roosevelt Cheered
By Nine Workers
Convention Here
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Seventeen hundred delegates to the
United Mine Workers convention
cheered today when Edward F. Nc
Grady, Assistant Secretary Of Labor,
asked if they stood with President
Roosevelt.
Let that be the answer to the
money bags of Wall Street," he
shouted as the din subsidized.
BE on your guard, men Of labor.
Democracies have lived and died be-
fore. Vigilance is ever the price Of
liberty.
Subtle propaganda led to Euro
pean relationships, and might precede
an attempt to destroy American
liberties"
Reminding that the President had
been called Socialist, McGrady re-
viewed New Deal measures to re-
lieve unemployment.
IF that is socialism, let the Tories
and the money bags Of the Nation
make the most Of it," he said, and
again was applauded.

The mystery Of the ~. J. Faulkner
deposit OF ransom money in a New

The alleged switch Of police officials
from assertions that gang" COM
mitted the crime to "one- man. job
theory after Hauptmann's apprehen-
sion.
A lengthy statement accompanying
the Governors letter to SchWarzkoff
cited what the Governor described as
"incontrovertible proof" Hauptmann
was not the only person involved in
the crime.
Made public yesterday, the letter
was dated January 26.
The Governor, Republican, has
been at political odds with Wilentz
and Schwarzkopf, appointees of a
Democratic administration. There have
been reports he would not reappoint
the State police head.
May Ask New Trial.
With Hauptmann's 30-day reprieve
half gone, there also has been specu-
lation that the Governor might use
the information supplied by the State
police as the basis for a defense ap-
plication to Justice Thomas w.
Trenchard for a new trial.
This is the one court that has not
been tried by Hauptmann's attorneys.
Appeals to the Court Of Errors and
Appeals, to the United States ST.
preme Court and to the State Court
Of Pardons were all denied.
In announcing the reprieve on
January 16-the day before Haupt-
mann was to have gone to the electric
chair-the Governor said he would
not grant an additional reprieve
unless his investigation showed it was
warranted.
VAeAaOhe CACIuSANC lilbCA tC1itlOll
tice Trenchard would set a new death
date for some time between March
is and April IS.
The Governors letter to the State
police head ordered a written report
to him at least once q week on "the
steps being taken by your organiza-
ton and co-ordinating agencies to
prosecute this investigation"
Affidavit Taken in Havana.
Meanwhile Havana dispatches said
a representative of the Governor was
reported to have taken an AFFIDAVIT
from DR.. Arturo Gonzalez Alfonso on
his statement that he saw a letter
purportedly signed by Isidor Fisch
asking that some marked money be
cashed
Fisch was once fur business part
ner OF Hauptmann, who declared that
Lindbergh ransom bills found in his
home had been left there by Fisch,
now dead
The representative also was said to
have taken a statement from Gen.
Ernesto Asbert, former governor of
Havana Province, declaring DR.. AL
fonso told him Of the letter q year
ago.
In Trenton a spokesman for Hoff-
man said he did not know Of the
dispositions.
Asks IL Questions.
The Governor asked for answers to
these questions:
l. Did Bruno Richard Hauptmann
have accomplices?
2. Who were the persons referred to
by Dr. John F. (Jafsie) Condor, ran
som Intermediary, when he said II am
still convinced that more than one
person was involved?"
3. Who was the man with the hand

posed in New York that q commission
be created to make a thorough Study
of currency and bank reform He
criticized some New Deal measures as
"ill-conceived," though saying the pre-
New Deal money mechanism was far
from perfect.
After President Roosevelt canvassed
the whole field of taxation with Secre-
taries Morgenthau and Wallace and
Attorney General Cummings late yes
terday, it was suggested by some ad-
ministration strategists on Capitol Hill
that the whole problem Of new taxes
be put over until the Seventy-fifth
Congress, convening in January. 1897.
Although preferring to remain
anonymous for the present, they offered
these arguments:
l. A presidential election will have
clarified the political situation by that
time.
2. The national income promises to
be higher next year and, by admins
tration philosophy. better able to
absorb additional taxes.
3. Most bonus expenditures prob
ably will be advanced into the next
fiscal year or later because cashine of
bonus bonds is not expected to start
until July.
4. Plans are under way for an at
tempt to recover about 5000 900 900 in
refunded processing taxes which, with
an appropriation Of some $500, 600, 900
proposed by Senator Bankhead, Demo-
crat, OF Alabama. would pay the cost
OF the farm program well into the next
fiscal year.
Agreement in Delay.
High-placed Democrats who have
been hoping the Government can get
by for the present without additional
taxation made the following observa-
tions:
Although the Treasury for the next
year or so is faced with some of the
heaviest financing it has had since
war time, it Is favored by . high bond
market and an excess of more than
$4,000, 100000 Of lendable funds in
member banks Of the Federal Reserve
system.
THE Treasury now has a cash bal
ance Of more than 81 .600. .000, 900, in
cluding about $300,000,000 or $780,
100000 earmarked for retirement Of
national bank notes, and has pros
poets Of a large increase in tax re-
ceipts in March"
The President at his press confer
ence today explained that no money
was available for the farm relief and
bonus expenditures from the s4,000,-
100000 Work Relief fund appropriated
last year. All Of this that has not
been spent has been allocated. he said,

COAL Miners MAY |
RELIEVE SHORTAGE
Lewis Says They May Work
Over 35 Hours When
Necessary.
~ the Associated Press.

Dy the As3ociated Press.
T. John L. Lewis, president. told the
United Mine Workers Convention to-
day miners will be allowed to work
more than IS hours week wherever
threatened coal shortages Cannot be
Semedied otherwise"
I'm any community where the need
for more coal exists, it Is the easiest
thing in the world for operators to
divert coal billed for industrial use,"
Lewis said.
"The United Mine Workers don't
intend to let coal shortages that could
be remedied otherwise be used as .
subterfuge for breaking wage and hour
contracts.
In such cases where it Is deter
mined that there is actually need that
cannot be remedied otherwise the
miners will be given permission to
work more than IS hours a week."
Lewis said Gov. Clyde Herring of
Iowa was ill advised" and certainly
assumed q lot Of responsibility" in
suggesting that Iowa miners be al
lowed to work eight hours . day to
meet = coal shortage.
Herring's appeal to President Roose-
welt to intervene in seeking q greater
output Of coal in the Midwest area
was referred today to Secretary Per-
kins. Beyond that, there was no COM
ment today on the coal shortage BY
the President pending further reports
In and around the city of Des
Moines, Lewis said, the miners now
we're not working full time in all the
mines.
He concluded by saying that 1T
the operators desire to increase pro-
duction there are thousands of idle
miners"

NIXON SUMMONS
COURTS PROBLEM
Army Captains Wife Denies
Receiving Notice as
Correspondent.

The District Supreme Court was
asked today to decide whether Mrs.
Anne Cooke Nixon, third wife of Capt.
Thomas Hay Nixon, U. S. A., knows
oflcially that she has been named CO.
respondent in the divorce suit brought
by the officers second wife, Mrs. An
nette Pauline Nixon, former stage
beauty.
Some time ago Harold T. Scott,
special court oincer. reported he
served her with q summons about
1880 am. January 10 in front of
Stoneleigh Courts, where she and her
husband have an apartment.
Thrown Through window.
Her attorneys, Alvin L. Newmyer
and David G. Brez, maintained In
court today, however, that Scott
threw the papers into her automobile
with such force that they struck her
husband sitting beside her and went
out the opposite window.
In an afiidavit, supporting a mo-
ton to quash the service, Mrs. Nixon
said she had received a number Of
anonymous threats on the telephone
which caused her to become fright
ened when the bundle of papers was
thrown In the window. Instead of
investigating, she said, she and her
husband drove of.
Il laid those papers right in her
lap" said Scott today. "She was
served all right"
Court officers had sought her for
two months prior to the alleged service
January 10.
Decree Called Invalid.
In her divorce suit, the second Mrs
Nixon contended the divorce decree
Capt. Nixon secured about q year ago
in Pennsylvania was invalid because
ne was not resident Of that State
Soon after the Pennsylvania decree
was entered, the ofiicer married Anne
Cooke, daughter OF a socially promi-
nent Chevy Chase family.
Meanwhile, R. J. Conway. clerk at
Stoneleigh Courts, faces a possible
contempt citation for the part he is
alleged to have played as Scott at
tempted to serve Mrs. Nixon with no.
tice Of the suit. Scott maintained
Conway attempted to aid Mrs. Nixon
to avoid service. A hearing on his
case has been set for Wednesday

Taxes
(Cortinued From First Page.)

l
Democrat. Of Texas, met and agreed to
call meeting tomorrow of all House
members "who are interested in using
the idle gold and silver In the Treasury
as basis for the issuance Of new cur
rency to be used to pay the veterans
80 instead Of resorting to taxation
for the purpose of raising that money"
Pattman said the question of joining
forces with members interested in
divorcing taxes from the new farm
plan and in refinancing farm indebted
ness with $4,000, ,000, 900 Of new money
probably would be raised at the meet
ing
Speaker Byrns foresaw no dificulty,
however, In passing q tax bill to
finance the farm program. But Chair
man Doughton Of the Ways and
Means Committee. which originates all
tax legislation, said it would take
quite q while" to work out any con-
siderable amount Of new taxes. He
preferred to have taxes go over until
next year If they can wait that long"
Sees Mid May Adjournment.
Byrns said he saw no reason why a
tax bill should delay adjournment, but
declined to repeat 4 past prediction
that Congress could get away by mid
May III it gets down to work"
Despite the imitation move, potent
Democratic leaders said privately that
the drive was as good as blocked, and
even some in1lationists admitted they
were whipped, though none was ready
to be quoted by name.
When the House approaches the
task Of appropriating the bonus
money, Patman's aim is to force q
vote on his plan to pay by printing
money rather than by borrowing or
new taxes.
It was considered significant that
Speaker Byrns said any move to
attach the plan to an appropriation
bill would be out Of order unless q
special rule were adopted.
1t also was noted that prominent
Democrats sought to show there was
no significance in the action yester-
day OF the Senate Agriculture Com
mittee, which included supplemental
statement on currency expansion in
reporting the administrations new
farm subsidy bill to the Senate.
The statement, included at the re-
quest Of Senator Thomas, Democrat,
OF Oklahoma, suggested that the
President should announce he was
going hack to the 1925 price level"
Prices would Immediately rise to that
level, Thomas argued, and the Presi-
dent could keep them there by issuing
"$7S0, 900, 900 or 81 .000, ,0oo, 900" Of new
currency.
Devaluation Praised.
Thomas praised the administration
action in devaluins the dollar, saying
II it had not done 50 crops would be
selling for disastrously low prices TO-
day. But he held that money should
be cheaper still.
Incidentally, today was the second |
anniversary Of the devalued dollar,
and the argument about its effective
ness was still in progress after two
years.
Speaking at Chicago, Prof. Ernest H.
Hahne, Northwestern University econ
omist, referred to the New Deals ac-
ton In cutting the gold content Of the
dollar from ass grains to Is 5-2l
grains in 1894. He said events have
made clear that "tinkering with metal |
does not have Is great an effect on the
price level Is was anticipated" /" though
he considers devaluation was . neces-
sary step At the time. !
