WALL TREET WING
POINT AGAINST BILL
Advocates of Stock Ex
change Control Lose Im
portant Fight.
WASHINGTON — (AP) — The
New York Stock exchange scored
a smashing victory in the senate
banking committee Monday by a
10 to 8 vote to create a new com
mission to regulate the exchanges
instead of giving jurisdiction to
the federal reserve board and the
federal trade commission.
The:committee adopted an amend
ment t, the stock market bill of -
sered by Senator Glass (D.-Va.),
upsetting plans ot the bill's auth
ors and Président Roosevelt to
have the exchanges regulated by
the two existing governmental
agencies.
As it now stands, a commission
of three members appointed by the
president and ‘confirmed by the
senate, would be set up to exer
cise all the powers the bill origi
nally proposed to turn over to the
reserve board and the trade com
mission.
Friends of the original legisla
tion planned to carry their fight
to the senate floor, and with Pres
ident Roosevelt's expressed sup
port, were hopeful of final vic
tory.
Opponents of the bill as origi
nally drafted also scored an im
portant victory by the same mar
gin in adopting a motion by Sen
ator Adams (D.-Colo.) to elimi
nate the vital introductory sectior
of the bill outlining its purposes
for constitutional reasons.
Senator Glass, who voted to
strike out this section, immediate
lv entered a motion to reconsidet
the action, however, on the
ground that some substifite word
ing should be adopted. 2
No vote was taken by the com
mittee Monday on the troublesome
marginal section, but Chairmar
Fletcher predicted the committee
would eliminate the fixed mini
mum margin requirements and
turn the entire power over t, the
administrative agency.

U. S. Fighting Craft
Sailing for Atlantic
On Giant Maneuver
SAN PEDRO, Calif.—(#)—"“An
chors aweigh" was the order
among the 101 fighting craft of
the United States fleet Monday.
Terminating a two-year stay on
the Pacific coast, the fleet was
ordered to proceed to the east
coast, through the Panama Ca
nal. The movement meant a giant
tactical problem.
Fifteen giant patrol planes, the
largest units of the navy's air
craft, poised for a take off from
San Pedro to fly in four hops of
about 700 miles each to the Pan
ama Canal. They will rejoin the
fleet there April 21. Seventy-five
officers and men will make the
flight.
Simultaneously the navy’s giant
of the air, the U. S. 8. Macon,
was to cast off from Sunnyvale,
Calif. The dirigible will return to
Sunnyvale after joining the' fleet
in the first of the war games
‘which will occupy the 35,000
fighting men throughout most of
their cruise to the east coast.
Conditions of war will be simu
lated by the fleet in its journey to
the canal, which will test the
tactical strategy of commanding
officers.
The high spot of their cruise
will be a “war” in the Caribbean
in which they will again be joined
by the dirigible Macon.
Most of the tactical exercisea
will find Admiral Joseph Masdn
Reeves, commander of the battle
force, as chief of one fleet, with
Vice Admiral Frapk Hardeman
Brumby, of the scouting force,
commander of the opposing fleet

CHARGES DENIED BY
HUEY LONG'S ENEMY
Lawyer Says He Did Not
Dictate Appointment As
“Kingfish” Charged.
WASHINGTON. —(®— Colonel
John P, Sullivan,, New Orleans
lawyer, denied befote the senate
finance committee Tuesday that
he dictated the nomination of D.
D. Moore, as internal revenue
collector of Louisiana, as asserted
by Sen. Huey Long. Sullivan also
said he had never in his life been
connected with gambling. p
Sullivan, 59-yvear-old Spanish-
American war veteran, questioned
by Edward Rightor, counsel for
Moore, said:
“I don't know how te gamble, 1
might say, perhaps to my moitifi
cation, that I dgm't know how to
roll dice. -
“1 can't even read a racing
form,” he added, although previous
testimony by Colonel E. R. Brad
iey. Kentucky horse breeder, had
been that Sullivan owned 33 1-3
per cent of ‘the stock in the fair
grounds race track in New Or
leans.
Sullivan also denied Long's
charges that he had profited from
“randbook” operations, and said
I'e had been active t, stamp out
thi¢ practice.
Long also had asserted that
Sullivan dominatéed the revenue
office since Moore took charge.
Other Charges
Asked if Long’s statement that
Sullivan had received fees for fix
ing tax matters-in New Orleans
was true, Sullivan said:
“T have never in the city of New
Orleans had any legal interest in
tax matters in the internal reve-
nue office.”
Sullivan also denied F. P. Kriss
had been his and Bradley's part
ner, as asserted by Long in the
senate, in opening a “gambling
dive” on Metairie ridge.
He said his only connection with
Bradley was as a ojint stock
holder in the Louisiana jockey
club. He said he had never been
in any partnership with Kriss.

Man Leads Into Flor

"X‘HOM_@SVILLE, Ga.—(P)— Two
men wete under arrest here Mon
day Ic-hafg«d with violating the
‘,‘Lindba&h kidnaping law” in an
attempts to extort $16,000 from
HowardfM. Hanna, Cleveland fi
nancier,* and officers said one of
them hfifl confessed.
Post«ag Inspector T. W. Over
street afinounced Emory Callahan,
26, of 385 Campbell street, and J.
E. Pullian, alias “Uncle Sam,” of
Stevens.street, both of Thomasville,
had beén arrested and Callahan
‘had comfessed his part in the plot,
implicating Pullian, although the
latter' eontinued to deny any con
nection ‘with the threats against
the Hanna family. §
Wanted Easy Money
In the alleged confession Calla
han sak% ahout four weeks ago he
and Pallian met at a house here
and it was suggested they make
some “eesv money.”
Callahan had been working on
Melroge plantation, the Hanna es
tate, &nd Pullian, he said, asked
about@Hanna. A letter was writ
ten™™% " ‘Callahan, the purported
confession sald, in which threats
were made to blow up the Hanna
winter home herd unless SIO,OOO
was left by a certain railroad sig
nal light .
Cailahan said he went to the
spot on the night of March 21 but
saw a number of men around and
left. A second letter was written
and mailed ‘on March 24 divecting
that the money be left on Mecln
tyre street on March 26 at 7:30
p. m.
Officers under the direction of
Sheriff G. E. Davis surrounded
the spot and fired at a man who
attempted to get the package,
thrown from the Hanna automo
hile by postal inspector Ralph
Greer.
The man escaped and officers
expressed the belief he was a
flark-nklfil{ed white man or a Ne
gro. The next day a Negro, Han
sell Wilson, was arrested and was
shot to death by jailer Will Carter
that night while attempting to
escape.
Suspicion Aroused
Sheriff Davis, in rouine ques
tioning of employes -on the Hanna
estate, learmed that Callahan had
expregsed a desire to own a
Thompson machine gun and a fur
ther check showed he had left
Thomasville the day after the fail
ure of the plot. One of the extor
tion notes threatened Hanna with
a “Thompson gun.
Inspector Greer and detectives
started a chase of Callahan that
extended to Miami and Belle
Glade, Fla.. but before they could
catch up with him he returned
here and surrendered to the sher
iff, saying “I heard you were
looking for me.”
The sheriff meanwhile arrested
Pullian as an associate of Calla
han.
Callahan made his alleged con
fegsion Monday night to the sher
iff and the two postal inspectors.
Both men, held under the fed
eral law enactéd after the Lind
bergh kidnaping which makes it
an offense to send a letter through
the mails with intent to extort,
will be given a preliminary hear-

VIOLENCE MARKS
EVE OF ELECTION
Ward Leader Slain Sun
day; Interest Centers in
INlinois Primary Tuesday.
CHICAGO.— (&) —lllinois will
have a primary election Tuesday
but Joseph Tierno, polititician in
Chicago's “Bloody Twentieth”
ward, will take no part in it.
They found his body in the
street Sunday, with bullets in his
back. He was a precinct captain
in a ward where there is bitter
strife for control of the Demo
cratic organization, but he was
also seen walking with a young
woman shortly hefore his death,
Police are unaertain whether poli
tics or jealousy actuated the
slayer.
They will keep their eye on the
Twentieth Tuesday, nevertheless,
for it is a ward with a history of
bloodshed.
The “citizens committee working
for honest elections” and the pub
lic affairs committee of the Un
jon League club charged Sunday
that at least 100,000 persons have
registered fraudulently for Tues
day's voting., John 8. Rusch,
chief clerk of the election board,
called this charge just a “smoke
screen.” /
Most of the interest in the pri=
mary centers on contests for con
trol of the Democratic county
central committees. The recent
rise of Demcorats to power in
the state after years of Republi
can rule has resulted in a greater
demand for the county committee
jobs, for they spell a share in the
control of patronage. In previous
years Republicans controlled the
state, and therefore nobody cared
much who got the Democratic
committee jobs. : .
Nothing has arisen to make the
Illinois primary a test of senti
ment as to the policies of Presi
dent Roosevelt, barring such an
unexpected development as the de
feat of several congressmen.

NRA's Public Hearing on
Arnendment to Code
Opens At Capital.
Workers Stay Away From
Alabama Pits Opened
Under Injunction.
WASHINGTON . —(#)-—Soft coal
operators from five states massed
forces Monday to overthrow Hugh
8. Johnson's NRA mandate for
shorter hours and highes wages.
The battle ground was NRA'S
public hearing on the recent
amendment to the bituminous ceal
code. This extended the seven
hour working day and a ocmpensat
ing increase in wages to all soff
coal mines.
Although it was approved by a
majority of the operators In the
Appalachian region, strong opposi
tion to the new wage and hour
schedule was voiced by operators
in Illinoig, Alabama, - Kentucky,
West Virginia and Tennessee.
A Heated Dispute
A heated dispute between John
L: Lewis, president of the United
Mine Workers of America, and
Foney Johnston, representative of
Alabama commercial operators,
caused a-brief recess in the hear
ing. i
Jolinston, after calling the NRA
ordér’ for the wage and hour
changes a violation of the recov
ery act, said union representatives,
idurlnx ¢onierences with the oper
ators leading to a wage contract,
had assured the operators they
had no -intention of initiating an
other wage increase. ;
Lewis, who had been sitting at
one side during Johnston's speech,
interrupted with the question of
whether Johnston meant to imply
the union had a secret under
standing, ‘apart from the contract,
with the operators. i
Tohngton denied making such an -
implication. : w
Lewis persisted. e
“lI made 'no such statement,”
Johnston repeated. v g
“You implied it.” countered
Lewis.
“I did not.”
“Then withdraw it,” Lewis said:
“I implied nothing and with
draw nothing,” replied Johnston,
At this point Blackwell Smith,
of the NRA legal division, inter
rupted the debate and asked ;figi
witnesses to confine themselves. to
direct statements of fact. oo
BIRMINGHAM, A!a.«-(m-—fi,.
though whistles shrieked their.
call Monday, most of the 15,000
miners in Alabama made idle Fri
day through a shutdown, today
remained away from the pits
which were reopened under a fed
eral injunction against the NRA.
Carson Adams, spokesman for
the publicity = committee of thes
Alabama commercial coal opera
tors, said he was unable to é&g
definite figures on the number of
mines which resumed operations.
The operators voted Saturday to
reopen Monday, after -"'clo‘;igg'r
down all commercial shtats, .and
to operate pending action by’ the
NRA in Washington, under a o 2
porary injunction granted Ffli
by Federal Judge C. B, Wenna
mer restraining NRA and other
federal officials from enforging
the terms of an amendment to. the
bituminous coal code which re
duced hours to 356 a week dand
