attention to the numbers or policy"

the late Dutch Schultz. He dc-
cuSed almost a score OF men of
aiding in the control OF the games

dozen. A Tammdny Hall political

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-George

business manager Of the multi-million-
dollar Dutch Schultz policy empire" !"
testified in Supreme Court today that
Tammany District Leader James j.
Hines promised protection" from po-
lice raids on Harlem policy banks.
Il paid Jimmy Hines $500 a week
and higher for protection" Weinberg
said.
The witness testified that during
one of his frequent "pay-off" meet
ings with the politician, he talked to
Hines about the police.
What did you say to Hines?" asked
District Attorney Thomas E. Dewey.
Il told him there were too many
arrests" Weinberg said
Hines asked if there was some par
ticular cop causing the trouble" the
witness continued. Il told him I didn't
want to have any cop broke"
BY broke" he explained, he meant
having too-persistent arresting Of
f1cer sent "out into the sticks" to
some dreary outlying post.
Hines promised he would try to do
something about the police" Vein
berg went on, "and later the number
OF arrests in policy bank raids de-
creased
Says Arrests Dropped.
Before our talk, the arrests aver
aged about 20 a day. Afterward they
dropped to maybe four, five or six a
day"
He said "the Dutchman" had sent
him to see Hines, telling him:
You know what to do. Go over and
see Jimmy and see if he can stop these
arrests"
The conversation, he said, took place
outside Hines Monongahela Demo-
cratic Club.
Weingberg said that Hines name
was listed on the master sheet" Of

covering payments for alleged pro-
lection.
THE arrests started going up again
in September, 1882, Weinberg testified,
"and I again went to Hines and COM
planned about it, on Schultz instruc-
tions, and the arrests soon dropped
way down again. We had no more
trouble that year and never had oc-
casion after that to speak to Hines
about the police"
Earlier Weinberg said Schultz de-
manded so per cent of the profits of
the multi-million-dollar policy racket
to take care of his mob land Jimmy

thorizes 20 per cent horizontal
increase over treaty limits in the
navy's fighting strength. -
The bill, introduced by Vinson

GUS Celebration Which
VIII Last for Days

SOESTDYK, Netherlands, Jan.
81. - (UP) - Princess Julia1ay
heir to the throne of the HOUSE
of Orange, today gave birth to a
girl, her first child.
The baby, provided there is no
future male child, is destined to
carry into. the third generation,
the line of queens as rulers over
this sturdy nation of 100000
people.
For weeks, the nation and its
worldwide possessions awaited
news of the birth.
As cannon fired the news, pcO-
pie ran from their homes and Of
fees into streets asking if the
baby was a boy or girl. The
celebration was expected to last
for days.
With the pretty, pink checked
princess in the Semi-circuIar white
palace here were her mother,
Queen Wilhelmina, whose heir
she is, and her husband Of year,
Prince Bernhard, himself scion
of the ancient German house Of
Lippe-Biesterfcld. Princess JUL

1t was announced officially that
the child was born at $3.50 a. m.

AS the official announcement
was flashed, waiting batteries of
artillery and cannon of warships
at sea, began firing salutes of 81
guns. 1t would have been 1O1

There was rejoicing through

= Until Cardoze returns, the=sIa-

with two justices who cannot be
classified as "liberaP or "conserv-
alive" on the basis of their deci-
sions for and against reform legis-
lation-Hughes and Owen j. Rob-

if Reed carries out his determi,a-
ton expressed in speech at CAM
bridge, Mass, last week to become
known as "Brandeis liberal" the
liberals will have full control OF

SCHEME TO ARM CHINA FORCES

GENEVA, Jan. 31.-(UP).-,
An am bilious international
scheme to arm the Chinese SOL
diers of Generalissimo Chang
Kai-shek appeared doomed last
night when the United States and
France, reluctant to risk becoM-
ing involved in the far eastern
embroglio, turned against the
plan.
The league council, meeting TO-
day, probably will adopt a resolu-
ton giving the plan a half-heart-
ed blessing but it appeared cGt-
tain that there would be no d.
rect action on furnishing arms
munitions and credits to China
The plan of direct aid was
worked out in a secret CONFER

Observers interpreted their re-
luctance to approach Washington
as an admission that the plan is
doomed. 1t originally was under
stood that Britain ,on behalf of
the other conferees, would sub
nit to Washington concrete pro-
posals for supplying the Chinese
with arms and munitions.
Now, however, British and
French sources say there will be
no joint approach to the United
States but that the Chinese will
be "allowed" to ask Washington
for aid if they wish.
The Chinese could have done
this at any time, thus their plight
appears to be unchanged from its
position before Chinese delegates

sanctions against Japan.
