for its life against opposition of

Earl B. Mckinley. dean of the George

Medicine. told the Conference of State
and Provincial Health Authorities of

HIS comment came after Senator

manding abolition of the Home Own

charged were improper" activities in

Judge Bohan then spoke:
'Mr Whitney" he said, looking at
the bulky figure before him, you have
no previous criminal record. You have
never been in trouble. 1t is apparent,
however, from a memorandum have
here from the district attorney that
your speculations extended over a
period Of six years. You caused losses
of several millions of dollars. You
had the advantage of the best edu-
cation and family background few
enjoy. I must also take into consid-
Grafton these facts in the sentence I
am about to pronounce.
"Mr. Whitney, I sentence you to be
confined in State prison for a period
of from S to 10 years on the first in
dictment, and from to 10 years on
the second indictment, and rule that
these sentences run concurrently."
Whitney didn't as much as blink an
eye. He turned to the left. raised his
arm to the bailiff and was led away.

For Busy Year

By The Associated Press.
The State Department is ex-

Of troubled international condi-
tions that it has included nearly
100000 hours of overtime pay In
its 1889 budget.
During the present fiscal year
ending June 80, officials estimat-
ed today, about 10000 hours of
overtime will have been put in.
The problem can not be met,
they said, by putting on additional
employees. because of the tech

Overtime is not calculated,
however, for Secretary Hull, who
probably works longer hours than

Whitney Gets 5 to 10 Years
On Grand Larceny Indictments
Broker May Be Freed in
312 Years for Good
BehariOr.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 11.-Richard
Whitney. bankrupt broker and former
president OF the New York Stock Ex-
change, was sentenced today to serve
from to 10 years in prison for grand
larceny
Whitney. whose brokerage firm,
Richard Whitney e. Co.. failed on
March 8. had pleaded guilty to two
indictments charging frst-degree
grand larceny in the misuse of securi-
ties entrusted to his care by the New
York Yacht Club and members of his
family.
Judge Owen w. Bohan. in Gen.
eral Sessions. sentenced Whitney to
the to 10 year sentence on each
indictment, the sentences to run con-
currently.
Whitney. who at no time since his
financial crash stunned Wall Street
his firm had done considerable busi-
ness for j. P. Morgan & Co-had
shown any outward sign Of emotion,
took the words of Judge Bohan calm
ly. He will serve the sentence in Sing
Sing Prison.
His attorney. Charles H. Tuttle,
made long plea for leniency. Judge
Bohan, however, had before him a
long memorandum, prepared by
Thomas E. Dewey, district attorney,
recommending a substantial punitive
sentence"
Under the time off for good be-
havior system, to 10 year sentence
can be completed in about 3l2 years
The first indictment to which Whit
ney pleaded guilty was procured by
Dewey and charged the misappro-
priation of 100000 worth of securi-
ties belonging to the New York Yacht
Club, of which Whitney was treasurer
The second, obtained by the Office
Of State Attorney General John j.
Bennett, jr., charged misuse of Sl05,-
600 in securities belonging to trust
fund set by Whitney's father-in-
law, the late George r. Sheldon, for
the benefit of Mrs. Whitney and her
sister.
In his plea Mr.. Tuttle stressed
Whitney's behavior since last March
Z, when he sought counsel, pointing
out his client had assumed full re-
sponsibility for his acts and had
stood continually ready to serve JUS
tice and take the consequences.
Whitney's statement to the press
on March assuming responsibility
was IAN act of his own choosing" )"
said Mr.. Tuttle.
1T had no parallel or precedent
in law" added the lawyer. "Mr.
Whitney gave the authorities every
help, and he entered plea of
guilty, shortly thereafter to be in
dicted by the attorney general.
"Since that time he has led a life
Of interrogation before five different
investigating bodies, public and pri-
vate. Some of these occupied whole
days at time"
ut is appropriate that say he at
no time utilized his constitutional
right of silence" Mr.. Tuttle continued.
He has fulfilled to the last letter his
offer of cooperation to these investi-
eating bodies.
He saved the Government much
expense.
Il think this conduct shows Mr..
Whitney still has character, courage
and sense of duty. With unbroken
fortitude he has faced the shattering
consequences and his creditors.
To-day, at the request of the at
torney general, he has signed a con-
sent to permanent injunction for

a meeting at the White House today
that an appropriation of 81 ,25O 900 900

period, beginning July l.

Mr.. Roosevelt will send to Congress
almost Immediately a special message
dealing with these emergency appro-

Majority Leader Ba:klev of the
Senate. VINO acted as spokesman for
those who conferred with the Presi-

taken up later.
The suggestion that a new spending
program be undertaken by the Gov
ernment has aroused much an
tagonism among some members of
Congress. who do not believe in that
method of bringing about recovery.
They maintain that a new and huge

furious than helpful to the country

President Roosevelt gave practically
his whole day to consideration of the
