Fifth District Trade
Drops SeaSOnallY

Trade in the Fifth Federal
reserve district in January and
the first half of February showed
a seasonal recession from the pre-
ceding fall and winter months. but
in comparison with the correspond
ing period of 1885 distinct improve
ment was shown, according to the
monthly review of the Federal Re
serve Bank of Richmond.
Total earning assets increased
at the Federal Reserve Bank of
Richmond between the middle of
January and the middle of Febru-
ary. member bank reserve deposits
increased further in excess of legal
requirements. and there was gain
in the circulation of Federal re-
serve notes.
Reporting member banks loans
and discounts declined moderate
ly while investments IN securities
rose materially.
Z Employment Holds
Industrial employment changed
little between January Is and
February Is. but extremely severe
weather delayed all construction
projects and other outside work,
and caused many workers to lose
time and income, the review said.
3tJanuary coal production was
above both the December output
and that of the like period of
1885. Cotton textile mills in
creased operations in January
over December. and consumption

NEW YORK. March 7 0N.SO.
Although electric power produc-
tion was lower this week, the
sharp increases in car loadings
and steel output brought the buSi-
ness index to 1913 per cent for the
1928 average.
This represents an increase of
4 per cent over the previous week,
when the rate was 1874 per cent.
A month ago the figure was 81.8
per cent, while year ago the rate
was 1873 per cent. which is a gain
of 8 per cent over the like period
in 1885.

for Landon's speaking campaign,
Hamilton said, but the Kansas COVER
nor will be officially notified Of his

vice presidential notification cere-
monies on July 80 at Chicago.
Hamilton, who seemed unworried
about anything, adopted the same at
titude toward the new Union Party
threat Of Representative Lemke of
North Dakota.
For every vote that Lemke takes
from Landon he will take from six to
nine from Roosevelt" the chairman
said.
Asked if he had invited any of the

TOXIC PARRIES INQUIRI

TOXIC, June Is (P).-Naval officials
parried inquiries today concerning the
indictment of Japanese at Los An
geles for conspiring to furnish United
States Navy Information to the JAP

hence are unable to comment" an
official spokesman said.

Japanese Navy showed a Lieut.. Comdr.

person named in the indictment are

hours he might be able to replace
them with good bonds. But how could
the Governor be sure he was guilty?
Suppose the banks were closed i'm

sequences?
Newspaper men walked up and
down watching the clock and the Gov
ernor's friends sat around with sickly
frowns.
The door opened and Warren Fin
ney came out; but not the Warren
Finney who had entered the State
House a half hour before. His body
sagged forward. His shoulders
dropped. He didn't see anybody. The
order was on the wires to close the
Finney banks and take immediate
control of the assets in their vaults.
Boyd Would Not Go.
But what about the State treasury? q?
Tom Boyd was standing on his con-
Stitutional rights. He would not re-
linquish the Office. Was he stalling
for time to get the forged bonds out
of the treasury? A half hour later a
captain of the National Guard walked
into the State House, conferred few
minutes with the Governor and walked
down to the treasurer's Office. BY
order of Gov. Landon the treasurer s
Office was under martial law. Auditors
went to work on the books. Kansas
moved into the bond scandal that for
months to come was to shock the
State.
1t was to be revealed that for more
than year Ronald Finney had easy
access to the treasurer's office; that
when the Landon administration took
over the government in January some
100000 worth Of bogus bonds al
ready were in the State treasury. The
total in the treasury and banks over
the State amounted to nearly $1,000,-

HAMILTON CLAIMS
IT'S I'm THE BAG
New Chairman, on Visit to
Capital, Comedies Loss
of About s States.
BY JOHN C. HENRY.
John D. M. Hamilton, master OF

John D. M. Hamilton, master Of
ceremonies for the Landon- Knox Re-
publican presidential ticket, thinks
there is nothing to the coming CAM
paign but Landon and Knox.
Yesterday afternoon the youthful
Kansan, as chairman Of the Republic
can National Committee, climbed on
a chair in his Washington headquar-
ters and told some 80 newspapermen
that the G. o. p. slate will sweep all
except six or seven States in November.
Everything west of the Mississippi
River Is "in the bag" he boasted with
grin, and SO Is everything north Of
the Ohio River. Just for good meas
ure. he threw Maryland "in the bag"
also, and then admitted that things
look good in Florida. He waxed gen.
erous over Mississippi and South Caro-
lima. and conceded them to the Demo-
Gratis. But that was before the news
came along that Senator Smith and
his South Carolina Democratic dele
cation had gotten mad with the Phila-
delphia convention, so Hamilton prob
ably changed his estimate later. =
Follows Precedent.
Hamilton, Of course, was Just play
ing the part OF good campaign man
ager in laying claim to everything not
actually tied down. His opponent in
the Democratic camp. James Aloysius
Farley, already has set the fashion for
sweeping concessions to his own side.
so Hamilton merely was following
where others had blazed q trail.
But the young nearly-red headed
Republican boss was doing more than
merely throwing a few loose predic-
tions at the newsmen yesterday; he
was making an impression of Ngor
and freshness that has been sadly
missing from the G. o. P. camp during
these three years of high-riding by the
Democratic administration. He started
of at shattering Republican habits
when he climbed into chair and
stood above his audience to answer
their questions, and he continued
throughout the interview.
There is going to be a reversal in
November just as completely as there
was in 1882" he declared. II think
we'll carry all except six or seven
States. I think we'll take two or three
In the South.
Basic Issues at Stake.
This thing has gone far beyond the
party lines. The basic issues are more
fundamental than in 1928, when Smith
lost the South.
''I'u tell you one thing-the West is
in the bag. The A. A. A. program is
not going to hold those farmers. There
isn't finer group in the country than
those farmers out there and they
aren't going to uphold this admins
tration.
I'VE didn't know how good things
were until after the Cleveland con-
vention"
Asked about the convention ad-
dresses of Chairman Farley and Sem
ator Barkley of Kentucky, Hamilton
answered.:
Il never saw a crowd so scared po-
litically and with less willingness to
admit it. They're scared and they
ought to be. 1t shows in every speech.
Farley is disappointed, discouraged
and frightened"
The chairman announced that ma
tional headquarters of the party will
be moved out of Washington next
week and established in Chicago A

Since Thompson was arrested and
