CUTTEN FACES
GRAND JURY
TAXPR0BE

CHICAGO, March G.N.S0.-
Presentation of evidence charging
Arthur w. Cutten, famous grain
speculator, with filing fraudulent
income tax returns will begin be-
fore a Federal grand jury here to-
day.
Specifically, Mr.. Cutten will be
charged with evading income tax
payments totaling 100000 for
1929, 1880 and 1898, United States
District Attorney Michael L. Igoe
said today. He declared:
1--WE will attempt to show
that Cutten utilized alleged pre-
tended losses in stock tranSac'
tiOns for these years to cut down
his income tax payments. These
pretended losses, we believe,
were actually gains"
MYSTERY MAN" ILL
Mr.. Cutten, a mystery man"
reputedly of fabulous wealth, is
seriously i'll. His attorney, Orville
J. Taylor, charged today the
wealthy speculator had been given
no chance to present his side Of
the case during a year Of investi-
cation, declaring:
I'VE don't even know how
much the Government claims we
owe. II this case does go to
the grand jury l will have lot to
say"
Mr.. Igoe said the Government
would call more than Is witnesses
before the grand jury. He pointed
out that in case the grand jury
decides to vote an indictment it
must be returned before March
Us, because on. that date the six
year period covered by the statute
of limitations and affecting the
1929 case will end.
Igoe did not reveal the amount
of income the Government will
allege Cutten had in the three
years, nor the details Of the stock
transactions in question.

SUITBYC0UNTY
ORDERED BY
GRAND JURY

ANNAPOLIS, March A de-
mand that county authorities
take drastic action" to obtain $780,
900 in county funds impounded
in the Annapolis Banking and
Trust Company was made by the
county grand jury yesterday.
At the same time the grand
jury served warning that II suit
to obtain the money is not started
by March 16 1--WE will be COM
PEELED to take action against the
county officials"
Lawyers pointed out that the
only action the grand jury could
take in q case of this kind would
be to bring charges of misfeasance
in office against the county au-
thorities.
In their fall report, the grand
jurors requested the county COM
miSSionerS, the school board and
the sewerage commission, whose
funds were impounded in the
bank, to start action to get the
money.
Attorneys for the three county
groups went into conference with
State Banking Commissioner
Warren F. Sterling, who informed
them that under the banks reor-
ganization plan the county could
not legally be given priority.
Benjamin A. MichaelSon, attor.
ney for the county board, said
however, he believed under the
reorganization plan the clause re
lating to fiduciary deposits might
enable the county to obtain sink
ing funds deposited in the bank
and he was instructed to endea
vor to obtain the money.
The grand jury yesterday in
Structed that the three county
groups institute and press lega
suits against the bank and others
to recover the deposits"

BANKS LIKELY
TO SPEED RFC
PAYMENTS
By ERIC FRIEDHEN
International News Service

Substantial liquidation in the
near future Of the $1,000, ,000, 900
debt the banks owe the RFC was
forecast In financial circles today.
Encouraged by improved condi-
tions in the securities market, q
number of banks are reported
ready to float new stock issues
with which to pay off their obli-
cations to the Government.
The RFC holds 5000, 900, 900 Of
preferred bank stock and approx
mately $500, 900, 900 additional was
advanced by the corporation to
banks in loans.
Issue Cuts Interest
To liquidate its preferred stock
loan, q bank must pay total OF
81a per cent each year, Of which
5 per cent represents payment on
the principal and the remainder
interest charges. BY this plan,
the entire debt would be paid at
the end of 20 years.
To circumvent the annual 5
per cent drain on its assets, a
large San Francisco bank this
week sold a $7,500,000 3h per
cent securities issue and used the
proceeds to pay off its debt to the
RFC. Since the stock bore no
maturity date, this bank only will
be required to meet interest pay
ments on the issue, or 5 per cent
less than it paid to the corpora
ton each year.

This organization, of which at pres

Schnakenberg, secretary, and Abram

adopted a resolution prohibiting the
exhibition of works by members unless

price of the work per month, no work
to be priced at less than $100 or more
than $1,000. This prohibition in

Immediately the Association Of Art

open letters opposing the practice
were written by Duncan Phillips Of
the Phillips Memorial Gallery, and of
Francis H. Taylor, director of the
Worcester Art Museum, and given to
the press. The Corcoran Gallery Of
Art has, through its board of trustees,
taken formal action. declining to in

make the costs prohibitive.
