One Of 8 Fraud Counts
Against Mckay Quashed

By the Associated Press.
DETROIT, March T. United
States District Judge Shackelford
Miller. jr., today quashed one OF
eight mail fraud counts in an in
dictment charging Republican Ma
tional Committeeman Frank d.
Mckay and II others with S5O0'-
600 shakedown of distillers in liquor
sales to the State monopoly.
Retrial of Mckay and co-detend-
ants on the remaining seven counts
will proceed Monday, the court an
nounced. The remaining defendant,
Charles Williams of Windsor. On
tario, was granted a separate re-
trial because Of illness.
The quashed count involved a
100000 stock purchase in the Grand
Rapids (Mich.) Brewing Co. by 1sa-
dore Schwartz and Charles Letter,
former Detroit liquor statesmen and
co-defendants. This stock later was
pledged to McKay-Dembinsky, Inc
Grand Rapids, for $500 loan. NC
Kay held a principal interest IN
both companies, and Government
ATTORNEYS charged the transaction
was a front for graft payments to
Mckay for State liquor business.
The defense argued subjects con-
sidered in the indictment-one OF
three involving Mckay to be re-
turned by the grand jury-were not
considered during the term for
which the grand jury was origi-
nally constituted and for that rea-
son were beyond the jurisdiction OF
its inquiry. The court quashed the
one count on those grounds but
ruled the remaining seven were
valid.

Equivalent of 720
Trees in Program

Pushing way beyond the Million
pound mark, Washington school
children during the past week in
creased to l,013,265 pounds the
paper collected in The Evening
Star-P.-T. A. Salvage for Victory
b. ogram.
The tremendous increase in COL
lections has put a serious strain on
the facilities Of the dealer handling
the paper. The difficulties en-
countered in obtaining additional
trucks have caused great incon-
venience but during the past week
arrangements were made not only
for another truck. but for emer-
gency assistance if the trucks en-
gagged in the collection fall behind
in their schedules.
Evidence of the rapid expansion
of collections shown in the fig
ures. During December 89.837
pounds were collected. In January
the collections grew to 299,427 and
in February to 468,745 The first
week of March brought in 1926,
an increase of $4,000 pounds over
the first week Of February.
Equivalent Of 720 Trees.
1t is estimated that the average
yield of paper from tree is around
1,400 pounds so that in effect,
Washington's school children have
supplied salvage paper which rep
resents 720 trees. Mostly it is paper
which formerly went up in smoke in

Rail Line Unrepresented
AT Par|ey on Old Strike
By ttt Associated Press.

By ttt Associated Press.
PEORIA, Ill, March 7.-Arbitra-
ton of 2-month-old strike on the
Toledo, Peoria & Western Railroad
began today, with representatives Of
the railroad still refusing to partici-
pate.
John F. Murray of the National
Mediation Board opened the arbi-
tration conference with counsel for
about 100 striking engineers, f1remen
and trainmen on hand, but no one
appeared to speak for the railroad.
Mr.. Murray talked with George
P. McNear, jr, the roads president,
by telephone and reported that Mr..
McNear told him the railroad stood
firm on its refusal to help draw up
an arbitration agreement. Previous
ly Mr.. McNear had respectfully de-
clined" to comply with an order of
the War Labor Board for arbitra-
ton. The road has continued oper-
ations despite the strike and re-
peated shootings, attempts at arson
and other acts Of violence.
The strike was called December

porarily to determine II the new
equipment now available will be
sufficient to handle the daily collec-
tions. One truck will handle about
$4,000 pounds of paper so that three
trucks which will start out tomor-
row are expected to keep pace with
the collections. Emergency plans
call for fourth truck at any time
the three find the load too heavy.
One factor which has slowed the
collections has been the long cary
from the collection points at some
schools to the driveways. If the
individual schools are able to solye
this problem by piling their paper

must stop, speeding up Of collections

Tin Can Salvage Test
Under Way;NoD {.
Drive Planned Now
Experiment Carried Out
In New Jersey and
Pittsburgh Plants

Although there is no movement
under way in the District to save
old tin cans for the Government
a salvage campaign to recover tin
and save copper is gaining headway
in an experiment in other parts of
the country to determine whether it
will be practical to expand it,
In the District, facilities for saw
ing scrap metal already are in oper-
alton through the trash collection
system, but tin thus salvaged is lost
in the process.
Cans now collected with trash are
carted to municipal incinerators and
sold to a contractor, who in turn
sells them for salvage as scrap
metal. This procedure is to be con-
tinued for the present.
Tests Are Started.
A system for saving tin is being
experimental with in communities
near tin salvage plants at SeWaren,
N. j., and Pittsburgh, according to
officials of the Bureau of Industrial
Conservation of the War Production
Board Old tin cans are being saved
through local campaigns in Sewaren,
Pittsburgh and neighboring COM
munities for processing at the two
plants. New York City has an ex-
tensive campaign under way to turn
over cans to the SeWaren plant.
Another type of salvage from cans
Is being worked out in the West,
growing out of a process first in
stalled at a factory in Los Angeles.
In this factory tin cans are
shredded" for use not in saving
of tin but for salvage of copper.
The shredded cans are shipped to
copper mines, where they are placed
in running water carrying copper
sulphate in solution. Copper is de-
posted on the cans in sufficient
quantity to make it worth collect
ing.
So successful has been the oper-
alton of the shredded can in saving
copper from otherwise waste water,
that three more factories for shred
ding cans are being constructed in
the West out of Sl75,000 advanced
by the Defense Plants Corp.
subsidiary of the Reconstruction
Finance Corp.
Big Saving Estimated.
1t has been estimated that if the
tin and metal process were de-
veloped to its maximum throughout
the Nation. it might eventually re-
suit in saving from $4,000 to 10000
tons oftin. anG. perhaps a million
tons of steel each year.
Defense tin is needed as an alloy
in bronzes, for production of solder
and other types of alloy. officials
say. But the greatest increase in
use of tin is for canned foods for
the Army and Navy and for ship
ment abroad under leaSe-lend agree
ments to China and England.
In the meantime, old tin cans in
the District, it is emphasized, should
continue to go into the trash. If
a Nationwide movement to save old
cans were to gain momentum now
officials say, it would pile up a
terrific amount of material which
could not be disposed. of through
present facilities.
