IDENTIFIED
IN ASSAULT TRIAL
Ex-Schoo| Dean Named
Positively as Man Who
Threatened Cashier.
BY the Associated Press.

By he Associated Press.
GREENFIELD, Mass, July "a
Week end adjournment of Franklin
County Superior Court today gave at
torneys for Thomas E. Elder, once
dean Of Mount Hermon School, an
opportunity to ready their defense
against the charge that he threatened
S, Allen Norton with gun.
The 6l-year old educator went on
trial Thursday on an indictment
charging him with assault with intent
to murder Norton, retired cashier Of
the Northfield School, at the latter's
Greenfield home May 25.
His dark suit rumpled and creased
by the long siege in the hot and
crowded court room and his face un-
smiling, Elder was whisked from the
court house last night in curtained
car for an undisclosed destination
Behind him was the testimony OF
Norton that it was Thomas E. Elder"
who pointed gun at me- on the
Spring night three months ago.
Seeking to prove there were feel
ings" between the two men long be-
fore the alleged assault, Defense At
torney Charles Fairhurst drew from
Norton a statement that he had
criticized Elders handling of school
affairs"
Once" the ruddy faced cashier
testified, Il reported him Elder" to
the school headmaster for kissing his
stenographer
Calmly relating the story of what
defense counsel called 'peeking and
spying" Norton said he bored hole
through the partition dividing his
Office and Elders three years ago and
saw the dean, kiss his stenographer,
and him and his stenographer in each
others embrace"
Six other witnesses testified yester-
day. but Norton was the only one to
name Elder positively" as the man
who threatened him as he was put
ting his car in the garage behind his
home.

Mrs. Madison. What is Hartleys

Why did you put up Moon Ray

secret?"
Carol believed in miracles that
night. How else account for the fact
that suddenly she could speak, and
| speak naturally?
There must never be any secrets
between US she said with the soft
voice and tender smile of girl very
much In love. Then as they started to
walk across the grass to the club

to straighten out some affairs OF
father's-and in doing it. the sale
of Moon Ray was Indicated It's all
complicated Some time III tell you
everything, perhaps. Can we let 1t
ride?'
Mrs Madison called Hartley, re-
minded him he had a phone call to
New York to make, and in moment
Carol found herself walking alone
with Duke.
You're a rat" she said, ''in more
ways than one. Don't think I'm not
on to all your tricks. You certainly
have bag full. 1 know just what
you're after-flattering Mrs. Madison,
trying to be the glamour boy. You
may think you have worked your
way into their good graces, but you
won't get close to their bank roll"
With your help I will" he an
swered "Oh, fair enough-to all con-
cerned. You've put me on my mettle
now. But it is all so simple and the
best thing possible for the three of
us"
"Is there q worse name to call a
man than rat?" she asked
You hurt me, Carol" he said.
What am is Cupid-just trying to
make you and Hartley happy-hap-
pier, I mean, and right away. 1t
all came to me when Hartley called out
his first bid He really wants to bet,
and he can afford it. He also wants to
be married. You won't let me give
you back that deed, and you won't
marry until you run ten grand up to
seventy-six. Which means you'll be
gray and toothless and finally end up
in home for undeserving old maids
Il won't listen another minute, -
said Carol, starting to walk away
from him.
Just a minute You don't give any
evidence Of having an ounce of sense
but perhaps you're not really feeble
minded. So my plan to achieve
every ones dearest wish is this-you
see to 1t that Hartley places his bets
through me, and I'll cancel your
marker right away, and you can be
married"
How can you think I'd"
Don't let that silly temper and
obstinacy Of yours run away with
what little sense you have. Put it un-

COMMITTEE VOTES
NEW HOUSING BILL
Senate May Consider Meas
ure Sponsored by Wagner
at This Session.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the AssociA ted Press.
A revised housing bill won the ap.
proval Of the Senate Labor Committee
yesterday. 1t thus may be considered
by the Senate at this session.
The measure Is sponsored by Sem
ator Wagner, Democrat, OF New York
and President Roosevelt has desia-
mated it as one of several which he
would like to have Congress pass
Altered at the request of the Treas
ury, 1t would create 4 national hou-
ing authority to make loans and grants
to state and local housing authorities.
The funds would be used for con-
struction Of low-rent housing and the
eradication Of slums.
Bonds totaling $700 100000 could
be issued during the next three years
and there would be an appropriation
Of $26,0000O for the first year.
Local housing authorities could OBJ
tain subsidies under either OF two
plans. They might obtain a Federal
loan, repayable in so years, and an
annual operating subsidy sufIicient to
reduce rentals by IS per cent.
Or they would be eligible for q
capital grant of Is per cent at the
outset, with an additional Is per cent
to be donated by the Federal Cow
ernment in the form Of relief labor.
The balance would be lent by the
Government.
Under the second plan, the local
community would be required to put
up an additional 20 per cent Of the
capital, or development, cost.
The original bill, before it WAS re-
vised. provided only for the loan and
subsidy plan. 1t made no provision
for the capital grants.

A|R[|NES DEMAND
j. s. REGULATION
Rulnous Competition Cited
In Support of Industry's
Complaints.
~ the Associated Press

~ the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 24-The air
transport business is clamoring to be
regulated.
It wants the Government to step
In and specify tariffs, assign routes
and determine where healthful COM
petition ends and ruinous competi-
ton begins.
It wants someone besides the post
ONCE to take over control Of that
perennial porcupine. the air mail and
right there the air transport business
comes to cros-purposes with Wash
ington.
Air transport and the Post ONCE
Department are ready for show
down on Capitol Hill on the question
Of regulation. The post office insists
everything is going along nicely now.
The air carriers differ.
Intended by its author. Senator Nc
Cerran Of Nevada, to ease the birth
pains of the air line business, bill
designed to vest the Interstate Com
merce Commission with authority over
routes. rates and revenues Of the COM
mercial carriers is being pushed for
enactment. II possible, during this ses-
sion OF Congress.
Would Give P. o. Power.
In counter attack. bill intended
70 give the Post Once Department an
even greater measure Of authority over
the air lines Is awaiting action in the
House.
That the McCarran BILL which
would relieve the Post Once Depart
ment Of authority over airmail routes
and compensation for the carriers.
probably would cause deficits greater
than those now incurred in airmail
carriage Is the contention Of the
Post Ofice Department.
In turn, the Nevada Senator and
the airlines argue that the l. c. C.
would bring order out Of chaotic con-
dition on continental air lanes
Air transport operators list lack Of
revenue as their principal ailment, ex-
pansion as the principal problem and
the mail contract as the principal sore
spot.
The air carrier managements believe
that, even after more than 10 years OF
passenger transport operations, they
have only scratched the surface Of po-
tential patronage. They want route
franchises-not obtainable under pres
ent laws-and higher returns for carry
ing the mails, pending such time as
passenger traflc multiplies considera-
bly, over the million-plus tickets now
sold each year.
McCaran Measure.
Essentially. the McCarran measure
would give the I. c. c. the same con-
troll over the airlines that it exercises
over the railroads. The Department of
Commerce would continue to impose
safety regulations.
Keen, sometimes bitter. competition
has characterized the airlines' bid for
business including carriage Of the
malls since the abrupt cancellation
and subsequent revision OF the airmail
contracts In 1884
But in spite Of the sharp COMPETE
tion the air transport industry is
united In support Of the McCarran
measure. It believes the I. c. c. would
increase rates for mail carriage, at one
time the biggest source Of the airlines'
sevenue and still . stable item on
their balance sheets.

May Fingerprint
Saloonists For

Compulsory finger-printing OF all
persons engaged in the sale OF
alcoholic beverages "as a means OF
cleaning up the liquor trade" Is
urged by Miss Ethel Huber Of Los
Angeles. member of the National

munication which is today on the
desk of every state liquor control
board in the United States for cO.:-
sideration.

"a number of wanted criminals
were apprehended and many per-

Guiding several murderers, were
prevented from selling liquor as a
direct result of the fingerprintirg
experiment" Miss Huber declared.
If is urged that similar regula-
tions be put into effect immediate
ly in every state where alcoholic
beverages are sold "as a means Of
eliminating a large part of the
criminal element now in the ranks
of the liquor trade"
"Such a regulation would, TO
some extent, assure the drinker
who prompt to get 'chummy' with
the man across the bar that he is
not fraternizing with an ex-bank
bandit, a counterfeiter, or a burg
lar" Miss Huber said. 1T would
seem to me that retailers and
wholesalers of beer, wines, and
liquor. who wish to put their busi-
ness on a more respectable basis
would, themselves, initiate a cam
paign for compulsory finger-print-
ing, in order to rid the trade Of

Rabid Coyotes
Held Menace

Two more coyotes definitely af-
flicted with rabies have been trap
ped in the Gila Bond district, e. NJ.

as he again issued warning to all
residents of the district to keep
close watch on domestic animals
Cor signs of the disease
'The coyote sufferin gwith rabies
which bit Clarence E. Tanner, one
of our predatory animal trappers
February II. was killed south of
the Gila river" Mercer said. "Since
the river has been in flood more or
less since that time we had hoped
the disease could be confined to
that side of the stream However,
we have definite evidence the
coyotes are crossing the Gila and
we will station a trappr on the
north side to clean them out"
Mercer said six trappers have
been transferred from various parts
of the state to Gila Bend in an eff
fort to catch every coyote there and
thus stamp out the rabies which
is spreading among them. Tanner
was bitten while preparing to kill
a coyote caught in one of his traps.
The animal acted queer" he said,
and the head was sent to the state
laboratory, which it was determin-
ed it was suffering from an ad-
