statement New Deal Has
Increased Figure.
B, the Associated Press
Representative Fish, Republican, of
New York today predicted the national
income this year would be around
$48, 600, ,00O, 900, which, he said, would
be exactly the same as that estimated
when the banks were closed in 1888.
He challenged a statement which he
attributed to Senator Barkley, Demo-
crat, of Kentucky that New Deal
policies had increased the national in
come by $25 1000, ,OOO, 900.
THE truth is" Representative Fish
said in a statement to the press, that
the economic fallacies of the New Deal
have destroyed business confidence,
brought on the Roosevelt depression
and resulted in 100000 unemployed
and 5000, 900 more on part time"

MAY Irwin DIES:
WAS STAGE STAR
Command Performance in
D. c. Was High Light
of Her Career.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-May Irwin,
IS, stage star of past generations,
died today at her hotel after 4 weeks
illness.
Miss Irwin, who is survived by her
husband, KURT Eisfeldt, and a son.
Harry Irwin, was leading figure on
the American stage from the 1870s
until 1922, when she played her
valedictory in THE '4sers." She was
widely known both for her vaudeville
and legitimate stage performances.
She first came into prominence
when she and her sister Florence,
appearing as the Irwin sisters, rolled
'em in the aisles' at Tony Pastors
with high, hoarse songs. She appeared
in some OF the best remembered
comedies of the day, The Pie Rats
of Penn YAM" Dollars and Sense
and His Wedding Day"
Kept Her Takings.
Miss Irwin's immense home in
Clayton, N. Y. where she spent her
declining years, was q haven for
many celebrities Of the theater who
would drop in to chat and stay a week
or two. 1t housed seven pianos, on
which some OF the best-known popular
music was composed
Miss Irwin was believed to have
made fortune both in the theater
and in real estate. At one time she
owned several block-long stretches
along Lexington avenue, New York.
She frequently loaned money to pro-
ducers to keep their shows from clos
ing, and, her friends said, her private
charities were large.
The climax of climaxes in her life
on the stage, she said years after her
retirement, was the time when she
gave what amounted to a command
performance before President Wilson
in the World War days. 1t happened
because press agent for Miss Irwin
published an open letter to of1icialdom
at Washington saying that If the
drop everything and come to her show
they would laugh and feel much bet
ter. 1t worked.
Tour Cancelled.
May and her company were in De-
troit when they got a telegram from
sources close to the President asking
when she would come. Elated, the
actress and her company Cancelled
their tour. went Immediately to Wash
ington. There they presented mo. l3
Washington Square," comedy by
Leroy Scott, in which they had toured
President Wilson and all his cabinet
were there.
Next day Miss Irwin went to the
White House on invitation of the
President. In jest Mr.. Wilson offered
to make her secretary of laughter in
his unoficial cabinet. May, used to
making others laugh, got laugh Of
her own.

Pact
Continued From First Page.)

the Presidents previous declarations.
Some Of these abounded with criticism
of the aggressions of the dictator
nations. Mr.. Hull also said the Am
bassador's utterances were his personal
opinions.
The seven-point program for peace
which the Secretary outlined in his
last radio address conflicts on several
important points with Germanys
policies.
Both schools of thought in the
State Department agree that our
rearmament program must continue,
on sea, land and air"
Meaning Is Interpreted.
For the "collaborationists," this
means, in effect: 1T is better to
collaborate. but we never know what
will happen with Hitler in power"
For the "oppositionists," it means:
I'VE have got to be ready for the
time when the Greater Germany,
backed by the resources Of all Central
Europe, seeks aggrandizement in Latin
America"
The choice between opposition and
collaboration is apt to come first in
the economic field. Germany has been
making overtures for a trade agree
ment with the United States on \
basis other than that of Secretary
Hull's general trade treaty policy.
The latest proposal for such an
agreement was made yesterday in
authoritative economic ministry quar-
tiers in Berlin. 1t was suggested there
that unofficial economic experts rep
resenting the United States. Great
Britain and Germany try to devise
triangular agreement to supplant or
supplement the proposed Anglo-Amer-
ican trade pact.
Seen as Trial Balloon"
Germany, lacking foreign exchange
to pay for American cotton, wheat and
tobacco, would supply Great Britain
with needed chemicals, electric goods
and machinery and have her turn over
the cash for these to this country.
In informed quarters here, the pro-
posal was regarded as trial balloon"
intended to take advantage Of the re-
Gently reported hitch in efforts to con-
clude the Anglo-American trade
agreement. Germany does not want
the Anglo-American pact to go
through, it was said, because she is on
this countrys economic blacklist and
would not get the benefit Of tariff con-
cessions which would be extended un-
der the treaty to England and other
nations. Also, some trade experts said,
Britain would be likely to oppose the
triangular arrangement because 1t
would mean giving up German trade
credits which now are applied to Ger
many's debts to her.
| Other German overtures have been
along the lines of a barter agreement
such as she has with other nations in
dividually. Secretary Hull is devoted
to his policy of extending BENEFITS OF
trade agreements to all nations which
do not discriminate against American
goods. Some other officials are toying
with the idea, however. that an ar
rangement with the Germans might be
made.

Jewel Trial
Woman, 2 Men Due
To Face Court

ThWarted in its earlier efforts
to bring Eula Mae Bennett, at
tractive blonde, and two men to
trial on charges of interstate trans.
portation of stolen jewelry, the
Government will present the trio
to a new jury in U. S. District
Court Monday.
The Bennett girl and her hus-
band, Jewell Ashby Gould, won a
mistrial last fall during a sensa-
tional hearing that terminated
when juror was withdrawn and
fined for contempt of court when
it was found that he had dis
cussed the case with an attorney
in violation of his instructions
from Justice D. w. O'Donoghue.
David Pinas, the third member
of the trio, was not apprehended
with the others, but was arrested
recently in Florida after a nation
wide search by Department Of
Justice agents for more than a
year. He recently was returned
here for trial and new indict-
ment was returned, including him
as a defendant.
Police arrested Pinas and the
Bennett girl here in 1885 when
they and Gould attempted to sell
jewelry, known to be stolen, to
a local real estate man.

Washington lawyer, went to a pic

looked like a harmless trinket.
Yesterday the boy was playing
with his find, which turned out to
be an unexploded dynamite cap.
The cap exploded. His parents
rushed him to the hospital. Physi-

They said it was almost "miracu-

When Market Hits Bottom

MILFORD, Mich, asks: will you explain
AVA briefly in some future article your opinion
of the Dow theory?"
There are several features in the socalled Dow
theory Of forecasting the stock market The out
standing point in the public's mind however, is
the notion that when the Dow-JoneS average Of
either industrial stocks or railway stocks makes
a new high. and the one that does so Is then
confirmed" by other bull market is estab.
lished. The reverse is supposed to mean bear
market.
This notion is purely mechanical 1t mixes
mere speculative trading with long.pull invest
ment. It fails utterly to allow for differences
in earnings among different industries and COM
panies, which is the essential approach Of the
real investor. For example, the Dow theory did
not require selling stocks until September 7. 1887,
by which time 'the industrials" averaged 80
points down from high. All stocks averaged high
est in March, 1897; motors in November, 1886;
utilities and auto accessories in December, 1886;
chemicals, buildings and electrical equipments in
January, 1887, etc.
It is easy for manipulators to whipsaw Dow
addicts by selling little rail industrial stock
as required to confirm" a new low, or vice versa.

keep it honest.
We all started being sweet to each other about
8 o'clock yesterday morning before breakfast.

charming diplomat as well as soldier. And the
crowd was delighted with him and the cadets.

And so the chamber of commerce arranged this

Mayor Burnet said in an interview that work

Personally, I'm crazy about this Southern

praised everybody else. The mayor who wants
to be governor praised the governor. The COVER
