A defense of the Federal Reserve Board's policy in curbing Wall Street speculation and opportunities for trade with European colonies were outlined in addresses at the dinner of the Amer- ican section of the International Cham- ber of Commerce last night at the May- flower Hotel. Thomas W. Lamont, the chairman, sent a message from Paris, where he is attending the sessions of the new reparations committee, which was read by Julius H. Barnes, vice chairman, who presided. “America’s interests have become world wide,” Mr. Lamont's message de- clared, “and the solution of any diffi- cult problem in the field of economics or finance, even though having to do | primarily with European countries, is bound to command the keen interest ©of American business men.” Addresses last night were made by Mr. Barnes, John Foster Dulles, attor- | ney and industrialist of New York, and Dr. Julius Klein, who was confirmed by the Senate yesterday as Assistant Sec- yetary of Commerce. Mr. Dulles blamed speculation for the present menetary conditions, and as serted that the Federal Reserve Board's policies should not be “judged by any passing phase, but by Tesults over a considerable period.” Recalling that the board had been successful in preventing the realization of the “gloomy forecasts of 1919, he warned that “a speculative mania has threatened to sweep the land, of such proportions that unless checked it will make it impossible for our central bank- ing authority to maintain the money conditions which our broad national interests require. Success Brings Danger. “The success of the past brings dan- ger for the future because the general inflation of the value of common stocks during recent vears has been so con- stant that it has attracted the atten- tion of virtually the whole world, and has induced a speculative movement marked by the abandonment of quick appreciation of principal through stock operations. Obviously, this situation cannot long continue without a collapse, which will mean the realization of the dangers hich were forecast 10 years ago, but which since have been 50 successfully avoided.” American business men were advised by Dr. Klein that there were rapidly Inicreeasing opportunities for trade with overseas possessions and mandated ter- vitories of major European nations. Pointing ocut that it was “becoming increasingly evident” that these colonies are likely to play a large part in the economic recovery of Europe, Dr. Klein said that the United States was w major market for raw materals pro- duced in the cclonies.

Pickett went over. Publication by Request. “Senator Copeland's statements,” said Pickett in his statement today, “were lication being not only by permission, but by specific request. At that time, Senator Copeland’s friends were con- vinced that he was the logical and probable compromise candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination in case the expected deadlock materialized.

Supporting the report of Chairman Norris that Mellon, as a stockholder, is violating an old statute forbidding the Secretary of the Treasury to be inter- ested in carrying on trade or commerce, Senator Walsh, Democrat, Montana raised the point of Mr. Mellon's pur- ported Canadian visit. ! Deposition Produced. Senator Walsh has produced befcre the committee a deposition of Mr. Mel- jon in & law suit involving a claim against the Aluminum Co. of America. The suit was tried in 1925. The alumi- num company was charged with viola- tion of the anti-trust law in the acqui- sition of & certain tract of land in Canada. £ Tt was the understanding of Sena Walsh that Mr. Mellon, who 1s a stock- | holder in the Aluminum Co., went fo Canada and while there signed certain papers in connection with the land transaction. The Montana Senator, however, in- formed the committee today that the record was “vague” on this point. He left the suggestion that further inquiry on this point would be advisable. The law suit in which Mr. Mellon's deposition was taken was brought by & man named Haskell, who claimed to have had an understanding with the !

CAPONE IS NAMED IN GANG GUN PROBE Chicago Coroner on Trail of Ma- chine Type Weapons Used in Massacre. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, April 30.—Evidence link- ing “Scarface Al” Capone’s name with the purchase of machine guns from a Chicago firm was introduced today at the inquest into the deaths of the seven gangsters massacred in a North Clark street garage last St. Valentine’s day. Similar evidence disclosed that the same | dealers had sold seven machine guns to a Minneapolis “firm” which apparently | does not exist. James J. Reynolds, secretary of the’ company which sold the arms, as a wit- ness at the reopening of the inquest, ! told of selling two machine guns to the Hawthorne Kennel Club of Cicero, a dog race track, said to have been operated by Capone, gang chieftain. At the time the guns were purchased, Rey- nolds sald, the guns were delivered to Lieut. Nicholas Mongreg of the Cicero police, who said he was requested to receive them by “a Mr. O'Hare” of the Kennel Club. Reynolds also recounted the sale and shipment of seven other machime guns to the “Gopher State Mines"” of Min- | neapolis, a firm which does not exist, Chicago authorities were informed. By tracing bullets and machine guns, Coroner N. H. Bundesen hopes to deduce the identity of the assassins of the seven gangsters in the most s tional gang slaying in Chicago’s history. Coroner Bundesen ordered another witness, Louls Scaramuzza, locked in jail to “refresh his memory.” Scara- muzza, a gunsmith, although admitting he aided a “stranger” in the purchase of machine guns from another dealer, was unable to remember the particulars of the incident.

He sald that late today he would make an announcement of importance to the Democratic party. Chairman Raskob has been at work on the liquidation of the Democratic deficit from the last campaign, amount- ing to $1,400,000. In some quarters it was believed that his announcement today would show that this debt has practically been underwritten. In any event, it was said, the statement would show that the Democratic party is any- thing but dead. The appointment of Chairman Ras- kob at the request of former Gov. Smith of New York, Democratic nominee for President, as head of the Democratic national organization. was criticized by many Democrats of the South. There has been talk about a demand for the resignation of Mr. Raskob. It has been generally understood, however, that Mr. Raskob would continue to head the Democratic organization, at least until plans have been completed for taking care of the Democratic deficit. After | such plans have been made it has been | hinted that Mr. Raskob might step out of the national committee. PIMLICO ENTRIES FOR TOMORROW.
