Book Clubs Old

The RoXbury club, founded In
1872, was the earliest English book
club, properly so called. The Ban
natyne club was originated by Scott
in 1923. The Camden society (183S)
began the modern method of pub
fishing by the society rather than
individual members. During the
Colonial period in America there
were a number of such literary as
SOciatiOns. The earliest and most
famous of these was the Junto.
founded by Benjamin Franklin in

 N. Y. Is Ended

NEW YORK, Sept. B, - Su- preme Court Justice Ferdinand Pecora granted the defense mo- tion that there was mistrial in the States case against James Hines, Tammany district leader, on conspiracy and lottery charg- es in connection with the Dutch Schultz policy racket, in sen sational end to the four weeks old case.
 The end came after an oral opinion given by Pecora covering two hours and nine minutes, by the simple device of ordering the withdrawal of a juror. The justice thus threw out of court. one of New York's great est graft expose trials in many years.
 Pscora dramatically surnmar- izad the error which led him into declaring a mistrial by the dec laration that District Attorney Dewey had injected one word in the fourteen4word question put to a witness Saturday, which was so prejudicial that it was
 
 like a drop of poison" He said the prosecutor com mitted "a very serious prejudic- ial error" m seeking to have Ly- ong. Boston assistant under for mer District Attorney Dodge link Hines with the poultry racket.
 He said that Hines connection with poultry had no bearing on the present trial.

Roosevelt Agencies
Nearing End Of
Existence
Many to Pass On Unless
Congress Votes to
Continue Them
3y the Associated Press,

3y the Associated Press.
Some Of the agencies and powers
that have formed the backbone Of
Roosevelt administration policy will
pass out Of existence next year un-
less Congress votes to continue
them.
One Of the most important meas
ures In the group is the so-called
cash-and-carry provision of the
Neutrality Act. It gives the Presi-
dent authority to require in time Of
war that trade with belligerents be
carried on in foreign ships and on
. strictly cash basis. This provision
will expire May /.
Congress also must decide wheth-
er to continue the Reconstruction
Finance Corp, which is authorized
to carry on business until June 80.
The r. F. c. was created during
the Hoover administration, but its
activities were greatly expanded
after Mr.. Roosevelt took Office.
Action Is Expected.
Secretary of the Treasury Nor
genthau said yesterday he expected
the President "at the proper time"
to indicate his desires as to the
future Of the r. F. c. and a number
OF allied emergency agencies.
He said the same thing in an
swer to question whether the ad-
ministration would seek to extend
beyond June 80 the Presidents au-
thority to devalue the dollar. He
told reporters, however, he would
ask Congress to continue the 81
600 10000 stabilization fund now
being operated by the Treasury.
The President has reduced the
gold content Of the dollar by ap-
proximately 40 per cent and is au-
thorized to reduce 1t approximately
10 per cent more.
Also expiring next June are i'm

Defense Questions
Whitaker in $45,000
Libel Action
Lindbereh Ransom
Hook Figure FoiIs
To Block Quiz

Under order of District Court JUS
tice Luhring, Norman T. Whitaker,
who figured in the Lindbergh kid
nap ransom hoax, yesterday after
noon submitted to two-hour ques-
tioning by counsel for the defense

stituted against publishing con-
cern.
The hearing, at the Shoreham,
was held under the new Federal
Rules for Civil Procedure which pro-
vide an opposing party may be in
terrogated and is required to answer.
Whitaker appeared only after last
minute effort to block action by con-
tending in the Court of Appeals
that it was irregular. His motion
tor a stay, however, was denied.
Whitaker was sentenced to 18
months in prison here five years
ago when convicted of conspiring
to defraud Mrs. Evalyn Walsh
Mclean of $4,000 in connection
with the efforts she made to obtain
the return of the Lindbergh baby
through the late CASTOR B. Means.
He recently filed suit in Federal
Court in New York against Blue
Ribbon Books Inc, and Sidney B.
Whipple, described as author of the
book-"The Lindbergh Crime"-al-
legedly published by the defendant
company.
The Shoreham hearing took place
before Netary Public Norman O.
Chase. On Whitaker's insistence,
the press was excluded. The ques-
tioning was conducted by Attorney
Irving S. Giles, of New York, and
had to do with Whitaker's record.
