BROKERS' CHARGE
IS BEING STUDIED
Boston Insurance Man Says
Business Was Switched
to Son Jimmy
BY the Associated Press.

oS tAe ASSOCldteQ fTeSS.
BOSTON, July IA court auditor
took under advisement today Boston
insurance brokers' contention that he
last s31.750 commissions when one
of the city's biggest banks switched
the handling of an $500, 900 policy from
his firm to another because it wanted
James Roosevelt to get the commits
sions."
F. Delano Putnam, the auditor as
signed by Suffolk Superior Court to
hear evidence in civil suit filed by
Arthur D. Cronin, gave no hint when
he would file a report.
Mr.. Cronin's suit asks the National
Shawmut Bank for S31,750 of which
he claimed he had been "wrongfully
deprived" plus interest He has indi-
Gated he would ask jury trial of his
action, which was begun before Mr.
Roosevelt became his fathers secre-
tary.
WV = AGCANShso <AuAAAAS - -
Mr.. Cronins counsel, Romney
Spring. told the auditor two vice presi-
dents Of the bank had conceded they
attempted to throw the commissions
into the hands of OBrion, Russell" the
insurance agency with which the Pres
ident's eldest son was connected.
Counsel for the bank asserted Mr.
Roosevelt was not personally" con-
cerned and there was no evidence OF
any political gain by the bank.
The insurance was group policy to
cover a bank department which spe-
cializes in financing automobile in
stallment payments.
Mr.. Spring said he asked Raymond
Zig, one of the vice presidents, whether
the reason for seeking to give the busi-
ness to O'Brion. Russell was to allow
James Roosevelt ito get the commits
SION" He quoted Zig as replying:
"Yes, sure, I wanted him to get the
business"
Effect Is Matter Of Inference.
Amid charge and denial that the
national political situation had played
part in the assigning of the insurance
in June of 1884, Mr.. Spring declared
There had been a national elec-
ton. But whether that had any effect
is matter only of inference"
James Roosevelt had nothing per-
sonally to do with this insurance,
asserted Attorney Robert Dodge, speak
ing for the bank.
I'VE were asked to show our books
covering our Government deposits in
the hope they would show something
political. But there wasn't anything
there-no evidence OF any political
gain to the bank through the insur-
ance"
Mr.. Cronin based his case on q con-
tention that the bank had employed
him to obtain the insurance, that he
spent several months making arrange
ments for it with the American Fore
Group. an organization of insurance
companies, and that, despite his work
and arrangements, he had been
"wrongfully deprived" of $3l,750 in
commissions.

Amid Pageantry in Siena, Italy

The jockeys rode three times around

Carabinieri waited at the finish

So fierce was rivalry once that
inter-contrada marriages were difncult
Such hysteria has passed, but families
still separate on Palio day, each
member joining the contrada where
he was born.

COL. MCCORMICK
FLIES TO RITES
Funeral Services for Young
Mountain Climber to Be
Held Today.
By the A. II Press.


ALBUQUERQUE, n. Mex, July a.
Col. Robert r. Mccormick, Chicago
publisher, was to arrive here by plane
today to attend funeral services for his
nephew, Medill Mccormick, youthful
student and mountain climbing en-
thusiast, who met his death on the
jagged face Of Sandia Peak.
Austere in simplicity, funeral serv-
ices for the 2l-year-old publishing heir
were to be held in the reception room
Of his mothers Los Pablanos ranch
shortly after Col McCormick's arrival.
Services for young McCormick's
climbing companion, Richard Whit
mer, who shared the tragic end Of
their climbing trip June u,
were pending the arrival OF his mother,
Mrs. r. E. Whitmer. from England,
Learns Body Is Found.
Not until late yesterday, when he
was en- route to Albuquerque to join
in the search for his nephew's body.
did Col. Mccormick learn it had been
found.
The tall, lean-faced youth would
have been fourth generation member
Of the Chicago Tribune publishing
family had he lived to enter a news
paper career as he had planned.
Today's simple ceremony marked the
conclusion of one Of the most in
tensive searches in Southwest history,
in which skilled mountain climbers
from Colorado scaled almost perpen-
dicular bluffs and sure-footed Pueblo
Indians combed steep slopes for eight
days before young McCormicks body
was found Thursday.

her post at the foot Of the mountains
until she went into the seclusion Of
the Simms ranch upon news Of the
discovery.
Indians Tell Of Discovery.
Details Of the discovery were obscure
until related by two Isleta Pueblo
Indian brothers, Pasqual and Joe 8.

an almost inaccessible ledge. about 400
feet from the base Of the cliff on
the opposite side Of the peak from

Cormick plummeted $50 feet from
the ridge Of the peak. The Indians
wormed up 125 feet of sheer clifi to
search the ledge, where Pasqual stayed
to guard the body while Joe scram-
bled down with news Of the find.
Lowering the body. they said, re-
quired about seven hours.
In answer to the frank admiration
expressed by experienced mountain
climbers at the brothers climbing

SIENA, Italy, July 2.-Excited
Sienese swarmed into their municipal
square today to stage one Of the
worlds oldest and queerest horse races,
the Palio.
Gorgeous medieval pageantry domi-

staggering and chattering townsfolk.
Ten horses were chosen by lot to
run for the honor Of 10 of the city's

FRENCH ST|FFEN
STAND ON JAPAN
Order Envoy to Point Out
Unfortunate Effect of
Press Attacks.
BY the Associated Press,

PARIS, July 2-France further
stiffened her attitude toward Japan
today ordering the French Ambassa-
dor in Toxic to inform the Japanese
foreign office Of the possible "unfor-
tunate" effect Of anti-French attacks
In japanese newspapers.
Ambassador Charles Arsene Henry
was instructed expressly to deny
Japanese press accusations that au
extensive arms traffic is flowing from
French Indo-China into China to
support Generalissimo Chang Kai-
shek's regime.
Imports Abruptly Cut.
The move came as growing coolness
between France and Japan was further
evidenced by an abrupt French order
suspending importation of Japanese
merchandise on the quota list.
The foreign office said investigation
showed French embargo on arms
shipments from her Far Eastern
colony was being enforced strictly.
M. Henry was told to express French
surprise" at the press attacks and
point out the unfortunate" bearing
they might have on Franco-Japanese
relations if permitted to continue.
The importation embargo covered all
Japanese goods over which the French
have exercised quantitative control.
The drastic move, coupled with the
relative small volume of foreign trade
involved. caused observers to link the
commercial break with diplomatic IN
cidents growing out of the Far Eastern
conflict
Action Unprecedented.
Foreign traders said France never
before had taken so severe a COM
mercial action against any country.
Yet the quotas involved-about one
fourth Of Japan's exports to France
make up only half of per cent of
total Japenese exports and slightly
less than that percentage of French
imports. Imports OF raw silk were not
affected.
France imported 33s 300, 900 francs
OF japanese merchandise of all kinds
In 1887 (about s9,134, 900 at present
rates of exchange).
One apparent reason for the break
was failure of Toxic to keep an agree
ment of February 10, to take as much
or more French goods in 1888 as in
1885. Because of exchange shortage
Japan has sharply restricted imports
IN order to turn all her resources 10

By WILLIAM II. STONEMAN

Chicago Daily News Foreisn Correspondent.
LONDON, July 2.-For the fourth
time In as many months, Neville
Chamberlain's national government
has outridden storm which at one
moment threatened to spring its seams
The latest gale to peter out is the
one which arose last Monday in con-
nection with the Sandys affair. AT
that time, Duncan Sandys, a member
OF Parliament, charged that he had
been threatened with imprisonment
under the hard-hitting British Ofncial
Secrets Act unless he divulged the
source Of certain information regard
ing inadequacy Of the country's anti
aircraft defenses Parliament's indig-
nation assumed hurricane proportions
Wednesday when it was further dis
closed that Mr.. Sandys had been sum-
moned to appear before a military
court Of inquiry in his capacity as a
territorial oficer
There was talk of a real revolt
against Prime Minister Chamberlain
under the leadership of Winston
Churchill, Mr.. Sandys' father law
and the government was obviously
worried, but yesterday the storm evap-
GRATED in q typical combination OF
compromise and stalling.
First-Rate Navigator.
Whatever his other faults may be,
Mr.. Chamberlain takes first rank as
a navigator through troubled political
waters. Last February he suppressed
a very potent revolt following the resig-
nation Of Capt. Anthony Eden as
foreign secretary and the conclusion
Of the still half-baked Anglo italian
pact. Soon afterward he had trouble
on his hands in connection with the
air rearmament program, but managed
to calm the waters by accepting the
resignation Of Vscount Swinton, air
minister, whom he previously had de-
cided to support to the last.
During the past two weeks he has
somehow managed to override public
and parliamentary indignation over
his failure to protect British shipping
in Spanish waters. Now, although he
himself has admitted to have had Mr.
Sandys summoned by the attorney
general, in defiance Of Parliament's
traditional vanity. he has once more
managed to make port.
Mr.. Chamberlain's opponents pro-
test that his apparent ability as a po-
litical mariner is due principally to
the lack Of any one to take his place
and to his ability to bludgeon his crew
into obeying orders no matter how
many mistakes he may make. This
uncomplimentary contention Is sup
ported by the admitted absence OF
adequate leadership in the other par
liamentary parties, and by the beauti-
full discipline with which conservative
members of Parliament have supported
the Prime Minister on many issues
when they were known to be boiling
with indignation. Had 1t not been fol-
this almost dictatorial discipline
within the Conservative party, Mr.
Chamberlain would have been in
danger Of losing his political skin, bott,
at the time Of Mr.. Eden's resignation
and during the recent controversy
over the bombing of British ships.
