FOR POOR
Declares Depressions Do
Produce Themselves and
Outcome of Policies and
tices.
Gainesville, Ga., Oct. 8. (A 3 )—Sena¬
tor Walter F. George of Georgia to¬
day blamed a “series of responsible
r human acts, policies and practices of
government” for the depression and
attributed to the Washington adminis¬
tration during the past ten years the
major share of responsibility for con¬
ditions.
“Business depressions do not pro¬
duce themselves,” Senator George told
the Georgia convention of Kiwanis
clubs here. He said that with the in¬
auguration of President Harding, “the
business interests of this country as¬
sumed complete control of the affairs
of government. The industrial, com¬
mercial, financial—in a word, the cor¬
porate interests of America—converg¬
ed in the person of Andrew Mellon, the
"Vf secretary of the treasury.”
Senator George said it was true
that the world war drained the
ies of-the world of “blood and wealth
upon the battlefields,” but said the
post-war period in the United States
witnessed the “overcapitalization and
exploitation of industry,” which, he
charged, were “directly encouraged by
the acts and utterances of Coolidge
and Mellon.”
“The reserve system, always under
the domination of the secretary of
treasury, who is the ex-officio member
oj; the federal reserve board, always
directed by men selected by the pres¬
ident, exerted no restraint, but on the
contrary supported the program which
steaHily drew the money from little the
countryside, the small towns and
cities into those great institutions
whose resources were available for
speculation in the stock market.
“This condition of affairs may not
be considered as a primary cause, but
it assuredly intensifies present hard¬
ships. Idle factories, empty trains,
abandoned farms, deserted villages,
worthless stocks and bonds are mute
but powerful witnesses against the
economic system, particularly the
practices sanctioned by high political
authority.”
The Fordney McCumber tariff act,
was termed by the senator as “a sin
within itself. When Mr. Hoover came
into power,” he added, “he called for
the limited revision of the tariff” and
“the iniquity known as the Smoot
Hawlev act” was added. “Although
our manufacturers were then supply¬
ing 97'per cent of all the dutiable by man¬ the
ufactured merchandise used
American people, we blindly suppos¬
ed that what we needed to stimulate
declining industry was more sched¬
ules and increased tariff duties.
“The Fordney-McCumber tariff act,
supplemented and perfected by the
Smoot-Hawley act, constitute the mon¬
umental economic blunder of the post¬
war period.”

Favored By Excellent Weather
Crop Pouring Increase Sur¬
plus Into Market as Latest Re¬
ports are Filed.
Washington, Oct. 8. (/P)—Favored
by excellent growing weathei', the
prospective cotton crop continues to
pile up in the south.
The agriculture department today
forecast a 1981 crop of 16,284,000
bales, based on October 1 conditions.
This represents an increase of 1559,000
bales above the September 1 estimate
j of 15,685,000, adding to the surplus
already on hand.
Southern states now are seeking
; methods of raising cotton prices which
have dropped the lowest in more than
30 years. Louisiana, Texas and South
Carolina have passed laws prohibiting
all or partial planting next year. Mis¬
sissippi is considering similar action.
The estimated 1931 production is
2.352.000 bales larger than 1930 gin
nings and 1,016,000 or 6.7 percent
above the 1925-1929 average of 15,-
268.000 bales.
Crop prospects improved greatly
since September 1 in Arkansas and
Mississipi and to a smaller extent in
Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and Mis¬
souri due to hot dry weather, which
was exceptionally favorable for ma¬
turing the crop.
On the other hand, these weather
conditions in other parts of the cot¬
ton belt, particularly in Oklahoma,
caused premature opening of the late
bolls.
Because of the rapid opening of the
crop during the latter part of the
month, field loss of seed cotton is ex¬
pected to be somewhat greater than
usual and the possibility of loss from
wind and rain also is greater. In the
forecast the deparment made allow¬
ance for greater than average poten¬
tial loss of open cotton, since the fore¬
cast relates to probable ginnings.
WOMAN IS FOUND
SLAIN IN AUTO
Chicago, Oct. 8. (A 3 )— A woman be¬
lieved to be a relative of Frank McEr
lane, notorious gangster, was found
shot in an automobile today.
The license of the car had been is¬
sued to Frieda McErlane. Two dogs
in the car with the woman had also
been shot dead, and the automobile
i was peppered with bullets.
n Pending .. . -i: a definite .1 .. .. identification : .1.. —4 of
the woman, thought at first to be Mc
Eriane’s sister, police offered a guess
that gangsters making a fresh at¬
tempt upon his li^ had slain instead
the woman. They said only machine
guns could have wrought the damage
that wa3 done.
In the McErlane home police found
evidence of a liquor party.

DEFENSE ATTORNEYS

Declare Its Line of Evidence to

By VICTOR HACKLER
Federal Building, Chicago, Oct. 8.
(/P)—'The government attempted
introduce into the records of Ai Ca
pone’s income tax trial today a mass
.of documents purporting to show that
the gang chief had admitted a tax lia

the revenue department.
As the first witness was called and
ithe prosecution asked him to identi

torneys announced, "This is a line
evidence to which we object strongly
ami are prepared to argue a point of
law.” The jury was excused and As¬
sistant U. S. District Attorney Sam
uel G. Clawson read to the court
he expected to introduce as evidence.
This included the alleged statement
by a Capone attorney that the
ster admitted he owed “some tax”
and would be willing to settle oni the
basis ot the following income:

UUG the seal laced big lellow made
only $75 a week in the employ of John

telling the government.
Lawrence B. Mattingly, a <
attorney who specializes in lax

the government’s exhibits. The first
exhibit oi the group for a power of
attorney, allegedly signed by
in which the gangster informed all
those concerned that Mattingly

agreements on compromises With
them.
None of the fiist five" witnesses who
appeared at the opeping of bis Lrial
yesterday in federal court was able,
however, to state definitely that the
gang'chief received any money from
the gaining establishments. Capone’s
small but energetic defense stall snip¬

case. ,
“I want the record to show” was the
common preface to remarks by Attor¬

Capone’s attorneys appear to be
egged on by the scarfaced defendant.
He leans forward and whispers to
them every few minutes. The rest
ol the time he glowers or smiles
the witness, according to the way the
testimouy is going.
He found good reason to smile
yesterday when L. H. Shumwa.v, the
cashier oi a Cicero gambling house
in 1924, 1925 and 1926, was on the
stand. The government, showing
