-Cummings Asks War on! cketshop Swindlers = Urges Public Cooperation to Wipe Out Nation-Wide Ring of ‘Racketeers’ Washington, June 25.—(?)—Declar- Ing that a nation-wide ring of chain {bucketshop swindlers is mulcting the public of “millions” Attorney General Cummings made a plea Tuesday for public cooperation to wipe out the *racketeers.” Evidence collected by the justice Gepartment, Cummings said in an in- terview with the Associated Press, points to bucketshop headquarters in New York and Chicago. “We know the names of the lead- ers,” he said, “but it will take coopera- tion of both public and legitimate ‘brokers to put them where they be- Jong—behind the bars of a federal prison. “With unquestioned superior ability as salesmen, with thousands of dollars to spend on elaborate offices, long dis- tance telephone calls and telegrams, gnd an indirect system of payoff, the ewindlers offer one of the most serious gmenaces to law enforcement in the sountry today.” Most of the victims, Cummings said, @re doctors, lawyers, professors and businessmen. CONTINUED : from pege one Jury May Not Get Gibson Case Until Later This Week @eath tending to prove that Gibson ‘might have been shot and the gun placed in his hand afterward. Brief testimony was taken from Sheriff John Thode, his wife and State's Attorney G. A. Lindell, all of ‘Washburn. Each testified that Mrs. Gibson had taken nourishment and slept normally while being held in the (McLean county jail following her ar- west on the murder charge. Mrs. Clare Lee of Gladstone, bailiff 4m the Stark county court, who stay- ed with Mrs. Gibson after she was taken back to Dickinson, testified ‘that Mrs. Gibson had told her of the trip to Jamestown and the confes- Bion. She stated Mrs. Gibson had 6aid nothing of being forced to sign the confession. Monday Mrs. Gibson, again on the stand, testified she was forced to ‘write a statement admitting her guilt, ‘at Jamestown. She said she wrote it @t the point of a gun held by Jim Harris, special investigator for Stark county. He previously testified he in fo way threatened Mrs. Gibson. The two other admissions, allegedly given State’s Attorney Theodore Kel- logg, were obtained through the use ef a dictaphone. Remembers Nothing A gruelling two-hour cross-exam- {nation failed to shake Mrs. Gibson's testimony. that she remembered nothing of the latter two confessions made after she hac been arrested and charged with the murder. Regarding ner attitude toward her husband following his threats against their two daughters, Mrs. Gibson said she “had no feeling of resentment against him.” “You still loved him as much as ever?” H. A. Makoff, assistant state's attorney, asked. “I certainly loved my husband,” she enswered. Tracing the incidents which fol- owed the death of her husband, Mrs. Gibson told how she had gained faith 4n Harris, and at his suggestion had gone to Jamestown to meet a buyer of her home in Dickinson where she was forced into making the confession with ® promise not to betray Harris’ secret. She testified that the confession Was dictated by Harris. Mackoff sought to break down her; story of being forced to sign by bring- ing up the fact that following the ar- rest and transfer to the Mandan jail, she had again seen Harris and jn- trusted him with notes for her daugh- ter and Joe Donis, her alleged para- mour. At this point Mackoff again intro- ‘duced the notes in which Mrs. Gibson asked that her two daughters come to her and asked Donis “to go out and tell mother and the folks.” Had to Rely on Harris Mrs, Gibson replied that since she was denied an attorney, and was re- fused a request to be returned to Dick- inson, she had relied upon Harris us her only means to get word to the family. Regarding the testimony given at Washburn, Mrs. Gibson said she re- membered nothing after Kellogg told her that her eldest daughter, Edith, was pregnant. “Are you certain he said your daugh- ter was pregnant or did he say that she had had intercourse with Joe Donis?” asked Makoff. “He said my daughter was preg- nant,” she replied. After that she didn’t remember anything of what took place, she testi- fied and denied making any statement of intimacy with Donis. At two points Mackoff asked point blank, “Do you state now that you did not fire the gun that killed your husband?” and each time the reply from page ons was, “I did not.” co D Proposal Will Be Added to Pending ‘Nuisance’ Measure House committeemen feared that if those taxes were extended only a short period, the senate then might go to work on @ new measure which would repeal or reduce some of the objectionable taxes. “Then,” said a committee Demo- crat, “they not only would get credit for taxing the rich but also for get- ting rid of some of these taxes that hurt the poor.” Although the administration lead- ers hoped that taxes and other ques- NTINUE for congress to adjourn before August 10, some legislators foresaw strong pos- Proposal. May Seek Bonus Rider Already, advocates of immediate cash payment of the bonus, including Senator Thomas (Dem., Okla.) have said they might seek to attach a bonus rider to the plan to break up major fortunes and cut down high incomes by income and inheritance taxes. ‘The fears of a tariff row were based on the fact that the resolution to which President Roosevelt desires his tax- the-wealth program attached involves import duties. The resolution would extend for two years expiring levies that include import’ duties on copper, coal, lumber and petroleum. Opening this resolution to amend- ments, legislators said, might lead ad- vocates of higher or lower tariffs to try to write their ideas into the meas- ure, ‘The president's decision for quick action on his new taxes was taken against the advice of some congres- sional Jeaders who sought postpone- ment until next year.

Personally I favor such projects as weed eradication, river should be a development of farm-to-market roads.” Crop prospects the future works program picture & tensive the program may be will be dependent upon farm returns and the diminution of the relief load in rural areas where 70 per cent of North Dakota’s relief burden lies at this + WPA to Be Flexible “We are going to set up a flexible organization,” declared Moodie. “It 00 | will be mobile and readily adjustable to a relief load variable according to economic conditions . It is apparent 00 |that North Dakota’s relief cases will \show a decided decrease if our crop prospects continue as promising as That prospect necessarily will be of major import in any program that will be developed.” Moodie verified the Washington an- nouncement that North Dakota’s in- 00 |itial allotment of PWA monies will be 0 | $17,600,000. About $5,000,000 of this ‘09 |Sum will go into the expanded CCC Program, Moodie indicated. More than $6,000,000 will be ear-marked for highway improvements. The balance of the allotment will be set aside for the new work relief projects. Moodie had nothing to say about rumored amalgamation of PWA and FERA departments.
