The letter said that of the total amount loaned, $32,990,180 was au- thorized to banks and trust compan- ies including $284,900 to aid in the reorganization of closed banks; $104,- 309 to agricultural credit corpora- tions; $3,088,650 to building and loan associations; $2,247,500 to insurance | companies; $90,000 to a joint stock) land bank; $580,716 to livestock credit | corporations; $747,000 to mortgage loan companies, and $6,862,700 to rail- » roads. { Trimble, in making the report pub- Uc following his decision last Thurs-! ‘day that he had no other choice un- ) der the law, took exception to a state- ment by Representative Treadway, of Massachusetts, a conferee on the re- lief bill, that his decision to make * public the reports was to gain favor with Speaker John N. Garner. Says Charge Is Ridiculous “Such a charge is ridiculous,” Trimble said. “The law gives me no discretion in the matter. Speaker Garner has never attempted to in- fluence me in the discharge of my) duties. I have considered every ob- Jection raised to the publishing of the} reports and no one has cited to me a single decision of the court to support such objections. “My attorney, South Trimble, Jr., cited supreme court decisions to sup- port his opinion. If Mr. Treadway did not consider the opinions sound why did he not advise me of the defects instead of making charges through the Republican committee?” “Ten minutes before the hour I had set to announce my decision on call from a high official in the ad-! ministration asking what my decision would be,” Trimble said. “I advised him of the conclusion I had reached after reviewing the leg- islative history of the law. He stated that my decision was contrary to the wishes of the president, and was not authorized by law.” Sterling Bank Helped The statement of loans authorized during the 10-day period under sec- tion fiye of the R.

TO HELP BUSINESS FOR ENPIRE UNITS Effect of Pacts on United States Exports Still Is to Be Determined Ottawa, Aug. 22.—(P)—A series of | 12 trade treaties designed to promote the economic welfare of the British empire and to demonstrate the unity of its dominions was revealed in part to the world Monday as the delegates to the !mperial conference scattered to the four winds. The United Kingdom signed seven agreements. These were with Can- ,2da, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, India, Newfoundland, and Southern Rhodesia. The Irish Free State signed two pacts, one with Canada and another with South Africa. Canada also had agreements with South Africa and Southern Rhodesia, while South Africa struck a bargain with New Zealand. Many of the trade channels be- tween the U. S. and various British Gominions and the United Kingdom will be affected by the treaties, which | all carry certain correlated prefer- ences. 5 Just how far British preference will cut into American or world trade jcannot be determined by the various summaries. Further, actual practice must determine the final slice the empire has cut for herself out of world trade. But many products the U. 8. has heretofore furnished the British em-; Minnesota Governor Says He Would Join Other Execu- tives in ‘Arbitrary Plan’ Says Unless Farm Buying Pow- er Is Restored ‘We Might as Well Give Up’ St. Paul, Aug. 22.—(#)—Governor Floyd B. Olson is in sympathy with the farm strike having its inception in Iowa and would be willing to join in an “arbitrary plan” with gover- uors of other states to the extent of declaring martial law to aid the cause, he said today. Olson said he would be willing to take drastic measures in the case of Minnesota alone if it was not for the fact that competition from other states would make the effort useless. “I am in sympathy with the strike,” he said. “Unless the farmers of the middlewest can secure fair prices for their products and thereby restore their buying power we might as well give up.” “The national government offers no hope to the farmer. The state of Minnesota alone is powerless to fix prices because of out-of-state com- petition. “I would be willing to join with the governors of the other, agricul- tural states, in any plan, howeevr arbitrary, which would tend to raise the prices of farm commodities.” Newspapermen asked the governor what he meant by “arbitrary.” “Supposing the governors of these states—Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Ne- braska, Kansas, and Montana— declare marital law, that is what I mean,” the governor replied. “If these states went under mar- pire units in large quantities are|tial law, they should make provision prominently mentioned for empire, for assuring a milk supply for chil- preference.

Leaders of the Iowa movement, en- couraged by their success in stopping milk shipments by truck into Sioux City, Monday morning announced that at 2 p. m., Monday a picket line will be drawn across the two main hgihways leading into Omaha from Towa. Omaha is the second largest live- stock concentration point in the coun- try. It also was disclosed Monday that two freight trains were stopped Sun- day night by the farm strikers. One of the trains was detained at Moville, Ia., by a group of approxi- mately .200 farmers who stopped 11 cars of livestock bound for Sioux City packing houses. None of the stock was removed. After a short delay the train was permitted to resume its journey. The other train was stopped at Jef- ferson, 8. D., where 50 farmers put torpedoes on the tracks and waved red lanterns. The cars contained milk consigned to Sioux City. Baggagemen closed the doors of the cars and no attempt was made by the farmers to open them. The train was delayed for only five minutes.

MOLLISON HOPES 10 BEGIN RETURN HOP WITHIN SHORT TIME ‘Vve Just Been Married You Know’ He Says to Ex- plain Anxiety New York, Aug. 22.—(#)—Sandy- haired Capt. James A. Mollison, the only human ever to fly from Europe to New York, cocked an anxious eye at the sky over Manhattan's towers Monday and hoped the weather man would let him start his hop home to England in two or three days. “I've just been married, you know,” he explained with a grin. When he finished his precedent- shattering jaunt from Europe at 3:33 Pp. m. (Eastern Standard Time) Sun- day, Mollison, the husband of Amy Johnson, England's most famous woman flier, said: “Amy and I have made a pact to make no more extremely long or haz- ardous trips, once this flight is con- cluded.” Mollison was in the air 36 hours and one minute between Port Mar- nock, Ireland, and New York, which showed in his face when he brought his tiny plane, “Heart's Content” down before 2,000 cheering fans Sun- day at Roosevelt Field.

PRICE FIVE CENTS ATTORNEY ASSERTS ACTION IS NEEDED T0 AVOID VIOLENCE Curtin Tells Judge There Is No | Law Permitting Removal of Mayor |PROHIBITION WRIT ASKED ;Roosevelt Issues Statement Saying Judge Cannot In- terfere With Executive Supreme Court, Albany, N. Y., Aug. 22.—(?)}—Arguments upon which Ma- yor James J. Walker relies to obtain court intervention and halt his ouster hearing before Governor Roosevelt were laid before Supreme Court Jus- tice Ellis J. Staley Monday. Staley adjourned his session until ‘Wednesday, when John J. Curtin, Walker's counsel, will submit briefs of his arguments. In closing his contention that Roosevelt had denied the New York mayor his rights, Curtin said: “When you come to think that the governor feels he is above the law and there is no appeal, you will see that we can only go to the courts for an order to avoid physical conflict that might otherwise ensue.” Contesting the executive hearing, Curtin argued that there was no law providing for the removal of a New York City mayor. Mayor Walker has asked the su- preme court for a writ of prohibition hearing charges against the mayor or to restrain Governor Roosevelt from removing him. In a statement early Monday, Gov. Roosevelt contended that the courts have no power to restrain him from acting in his executive capacity. “It is the unqualified position of the governor of the state of New York,” said a brief issued through the attorney general's office, shortly after Gov. Roosevelt returned from his campaign trip to Columbus, “that the court has no jurisdiction over the Person of the governor in the exer- cise of his official duties. ... If he perversely or corruptly do an inten- tional wrong, the constitution has Provided the only remedy, which is } impeachment.” Last Friday Justice Staley heard arguments on a similar petition, filed by George Donnelly, a Bronx resi- dent who championed “home rule” for cities. The justice took up the Walker motion before passing upon Donnelly’s petition. Not Covered by Law “I think it ought to be said at the outset,” Curtin said, “that this ap- plication is not based on the theory that the court has jurisdiction. No jurisdiction is given the governor in the constitution, so we are not deal- ing with a constitutional question. Nor are we dealing with a general law, for there is no general law— strange as it may seem—for the re- moval of the mayor of New York City.” Mayor Walker was not at the court session. Upon the youthful shoulders of Henry Epstein, deputy attorney gen- eral, fell the task of combatting the Walker move for a court decision that would silence the governor. Ep- stein is a son-in-law of Max D. Steu- er, one of Tammany Hall's chief legal Curtin argued against the governor considering acts of the mayor that his self,” Curtin said, “the right to in- vestiate a man’s private conduct. He seems to consider that while there is @ bill of rights, those rights do not apply to a man in public office. “The governor is going into things that do not involve public trust. Where is the law that permits that?” Judge Quizzes Epstein “I understand,” Justice Staley said as Epstein began his argument, “that your special appearance here is an expression of the un’ of the court.” “I won't say that,” the deputy at- torney general replied, “but we will not submit to judicial determination of an executive proceeding now in Progress, under a writ of prohibition.” “I suppose I should come to conclusion,” Staley the governor is ig ol E Fi
