NEW YORK, Feb. 2O.-The sec
ond trial Of Tammany Leader James
j. Hines on lottery racket conspiracy
charges moved toward fresh climax
today-the appearance as a defense
witness of former District Attorney
William C. Dodge.
Mr.. Dodge has been named by his
successor, Thomas E. Dewey, as one
OF the three Tammany- sponsored
city officials who were Influenced,
intimidated or bribed' by Hines in
the role of paid political protector for
the Dutch Schultz Harlem policy
syndicate.
The tall, gray-haired former pros
ecutor was expected to take the
stand some time after completion of
testimony by his one-time assistant,
Lyon Boston, whose stringent cross
examination by Mr. Dewey last Sep
tember led to mistrial.
Questioned by Chief Defense
Counsel Lloyd Paul Stryker, who
sought to disprove Mr.. Dewey's al
legation that Hines influenced Mr..
Dodge unduly, Mr.. Boston testified
that he had been assigned by Mr..
Dodge in 1884 to wage a campaign
against policy racketeers.
Mr.. Dewey countered by attempt
ing to show that Mr.. Dodge was in
sincere in ordering the investiga-
ton and foredoomed it to failure by
picking the least experienced man
on his staff to conduct it.
Hines has been described as the
political benefactor Of Mr.. Dodge by
half dozen State witnesses. includ-

Investors Urged 10 Help

Foreign nations investing capital
In Mexico should do more than
merely protect their money, Earnest
Galarza, lecturer on Latin America,
declared last night in an address
before the Modern Forum, sponsored
by the American League for Peace
and Democracy.
There has been a period, he said,
when foreign capital was greatly
needed in Mexico, but from 1875
to 1910, when it flowed most freely
into the country. the capital did
little to raise the standard of living
of Mexican people and develop the
nation, Mr.. Galarza said.
The natural resources, he de-
clared, were taken away without
being processed in Mexico, thus also
neglecting its industrial develop
ment.
Mexico, the speaker said, is being
watched as testing ground in
Latin America for development of
democratic principles and the op-

In New York City, John D. Rookie

watcher, stopped to watch the work
A foreman hustled him along,

Now in Washington the govern

this paradoxical situation indicates
