American people. ; The program has the uni-; fied endorsement of President Hoover and political captains. | The program includes the: following points: Liberalization of the Gov- ernmeént’s own rediscount re- strictions. | Permit acceptance of cer-| tain classes of industrial se-| curities now ineligible. Creation of a $500,000,000 corporation-by bankers to handle frozen paper of in- solvent banks to supply some, cash to hard pressed deposit- ors.

The complete program was plac- | ed before a colorful bipartisan con- drawing of the Federal grand jury. ference of Congressional leaders | last night at the White House.

B. Foshay and his six former associates in connection with ‘the collapse of the Foshay enterprises. As the result of the' decision which ended five days’ debate, the final arguments will be started to- day. The defendants presented no testimony, resting the case after the Government had uced more than four weeks presenting the case and which Assistant District Attor- ney Horowitz characterized the his- tory of the Foshay enterprises as “reeking with fraud,” in answering the defense that the Government failed to prove the allegations. I oty 39-YEAR-OLD CASE ENDS IN FINALAWARDS Litigation in Seizure of Coquitlam in 1892 Concluded NORTH PACIFIC SEAL CONTROVERSY CLOSED Fifty-nine Thousand Dollazs to Be Paid — Two Claimants Alive VICTORIA, B. C, Oct. 7.—Liti- zation covering a p: d of 39 years has been concluded by the Excheg- uer Court of Canada when Justice MacLean approved the order tc pay out of the court $59,000 to clalmants over the seizure of the steamer Coquitlam, in the North Pacific waters, in 1392 The Coquitlam was the subject of numerous court actions in Can- ada and the United States. Only two of the original claim- ants are living. History of Case Early in June, 1892, the Coquit- lam, owned by the Union Steam- ship Company, was chartered by Victoria interests to meet the seal- ing fleet in Bering Sea, take over the seal skins and provide the fleet with supplies to carry on the work for the balance of the season. The United States Coast Guard lam near.the Aleutians in June for alleged infraction of the American ‘Customs regulations. ) STANDARD A1D' MEXICAN SILVER | VA 3 {IRenewed Doniidence in Peso Expressed — In- dustry May Come Back MEXICO CITY, Oct. 7.—Eng- land’s suspension of the gold quo- tation of her money to throw it upon the whims of the exchange market, so similar to the steps Mexico took last July, has resulted ‘lin a renewed confidence in the sil- ver peso and rebirth of hope that 1 Mexico's crippled mining industry i|will come back. Those who upheld Mexico's dras- tic monetary reform in the face of adverse criticism view England's decision as justification of their beliefs. And now many who gasped when the Calles plan, withdrawing gold from circulation, was enacted, and who since have been slowly gaining ocnfidence in it, have been almost completely won over by London de- velopments. Basic Principles Same Experts here say that England and Mexico acted under the same urgent necessity of abandoning, at least temporarily, efforts to main- tain the exchange value of their money on a gold basis, while fac- ing constant depletion of gold stocks, The immediate effect in each case has been identical—a sharp drop in exchange quotations of their money—but Mexico found that the drop was not nearly what pessimists predicted. The Mexican silver peso lost only about 50 points as an outcome of the reform, apparently stabilizing itself at three to the dollar, as compared with 250 to the dollar quoted while gold was in circula- tion. Tt went down to four to one immediately after the reform, but soon recovered. Moral support ,advantages in in- ternational purchases and possible improvement in the silver mining situation are principal benefits ex- pected by Mexico from the Eng- lish decision. A larger demand for bar silver would be a great boon to this country, the world’s largest silver producer. Moreover, ability to pay for im- ported products in silver instead of gold by purchasing in England in- stead of the United States, would do much to settle one of Mexico's gravest problems.

Agree on Award Agents of the British and Amer- ican Governments conferred as to the amount of damages to be awarded and finally the sum of $48,000 was agreed. Following the award, the United States paid over in 1926 the sum of $60,000 which was the original $48,000 award, plus interest. The Canadian Government de- ducted the amount due it leaving a balance of $59,000 due the claim- ants. MOYLE, ALLEN REACH TACOMA FROMSKAGWAY Make Flight South in Ten and One-half Hours— Are Welcomed TACOMA, Wash, Oct. 7.—Don Moyle and Cecil A. Allen landed here safely at 4:35 o'clock yester- day afternoon from Skagway, Alas- ka, bringing an end to their trip frofh Japan. Several thousand Tacomans greeted the fliers at the Tacoma field after they landed first on another field where only a few persons were present. John Buffelen, owner of the plane, accompanied Moyle and Al- len between the airports, his first air line trip. The flight from Skagway was a pleasant one, with a tall wind. ‘Hurried plans for a welcome were made but the two fliers were tired and went to bed They made the flight from Skag- way %o Tacoma in ten and one- half hours, Two Men lnvolv;i: Both Have Same Name MADISON, Wis,, Oct. 7.—While his wife was away on vacation W. IC. Bartels was astounded, angered and worried to read in the paper that he had been arrested and fined $10 for “one-armed driving.” Realizing that she might receive the news with similar feelings, Bar- tels hurriedly interviewed court of- ficials and policemen to ascertain who had been using his name on an evening when he had been vis- iting at a neighbor's home. ‘He learned, in time to notify his wife first, that a Milwaukee sales- man, legally entitled to the same name was the-one really arrested TR Prominent Cardinal Players FRANKIE FRISCH FRANK FRISCH—Cardinal Captain and second baseman extraordinary whose sensational work around the keystone sack in this series has been a big factor in bringing his team from bchind and keeping it to the fore.

This gives the National League champions a three to two lead for the series which will. re-open in St. Louis Friday afternoon at Sportsman's Park. Pepper Martin, Street’s irrepres- sible center fielder, divided honors tfor today's game with Wild Bill Hallahan who tamed the A's heavy gunners for the second time in the series. Pepper's home run in the sixth inning with Frisch on second sewed up the game and sent Waite Hoyt, Connie Mack’s starting choice, to the clubhouse. Wins, Almost Singlehanded The graat St. Louis center fielder, who has been the outstanding fig- jure in the current struggle, rose to !new heights today. He drove in three and scored a fourth himself |of the Cards’ five-run total. In four trips to the plate he hit a long fly to left, scoring High from third, got a single in the fourth that was wasted, homered in the sixth to score Frisch and himself, and singled in the eighth to chase Watkins across the rubber, before he called it a day. These three hits brought his total to 12 for the series which ties the record. Each trip to the plate Martin was greeted by a tremendous din of enthusiasm from even the most rabid of the hometown fans, who have been won by his great play- ing throughout the series. His home run in the sixth was a ter- |rific clout, the ball landing in the upper tied of the left field pavilion. |As he trotted over the plate the fans, most of them standing, gave him an ovation. Score in First The Cards went to work on Hoyt in the first inning. Sparky Adams, making his second appearance since the series opened, started the fire- | works with a single to left. Sparky wasn't as good as he thought and Andy High was sent in to run for 'him. After Watkins had flied out {to Simmons in left, Frisch stung the ball to center for a single and High raced to third, Frisch taking |second on the throw to third. Martin, who was advanced from is:xlh to fourth place in the Card {batting order, was cheered loudly as he danced up to the plate. He hit the second ball pitched hard. It sailed out far into left field but Simmons caught it after a good |run. High had no trouble scoring | Frisch going to third Iwhere he died when Hafey went lout, Williams to Foxx. | In the second Bottomley found | Hoyt for a single but it was futile. flied to right.
