TALLAHASSE, Fla., July 17.—Ernest Amos, State controller, today issued a statement to the Associated Press in which he said “unnecessary withdrawals, propaganda and the mental attitude of the ple” primarily was the cause of the failure of 23 banks in Florida, with- in the past two weeks, 15 of which closed their doors today. Controller Amos said there was a “financial depression to a certain degree everywhere over the State, accentuated by the effect of the Mediterranean frult fly_quarantine. “I regard this as the darkened hour | just before the dawn,” he sald, “if the people will not tear down the temple | upon their own heads.

B the Associaied Press. | A group of Army, Navy and com- ! mercial aviation representatives con- | ferred today with W. D. L. Starbuck of the Radio Commission, concerning plans for assigning airways and landing field radio frequencies, One participant was Herbert Hoover, Jr., representing the Western Air Ex- press of Los Angeles. He recommended a survey of frequencies as affected by altitude, saying “the very high and very low frequencies assigned on the Pacific Coast are impractical in the Southwest.” “The bands are narrow and temper- ‘amental in that mountainous country,” he_added. | H. W. Walls of the Department of | Commerce suggested the setting aside of a common landing fleld frequency, permitting & man on the ground to give incoming planes priority in land- ing. “At the Detroit shows, several per- sons were killed whose lives might have been saved if a landing fleld di- Tector could have given them instruc- tions,” he said. . L. D. Seymour of Chicago, repre- senting National Air Transport, Inc. | told of a recent occasion in Chicago | ‘when one of the large sight-seeing ships of his company had to hover in the air for an hour, waiting to land, while smaller ships darted beneath it to the landing field. “The day is coming very soon when some person must assign a landing period to each airplane as it comes in,” said Seymour. “MAN IN THE GREEN HAT” IS CLEARED IN RUM CASE | = | Cassidy, Arrested on Charge of | Possessing Liquor, Is Exonerated as Action Is Halted.

Preceding the adoption of these, delegates to the society and to the Catholic Central Verein of America heard addresses deploring the alleged immodesty of present fashion in dress and the practice of birth control. The resolution on feminine skirts de- plored “the trend on the part of girla and women, who, by displaying too much of their physical form, have become & source of temptation to all men, young and old.” \ The birth control resolution .asserted that the dominant motive behind the movement “is not the economic con- stderation, but the desire to shirk the responsibilities of large families and the desire of many mothres to escape the sacrifices demanded of them." Still another resolution declared any- thing that destroyed woman's “real duty and Christi"@ prerogative” is ““de- plored and looked upon as retarding rather than advancing the cause of so- clal progress.” “Hit and run” marriages and divorces were denounced in an address by the Rev. Gregory Roble of Portland, Oreg.. as “a cancer to society in every land and especially here.” “Libertinism and license are the un- derlying causes of this shocking and de- moralizing condition,” he said. The Rev. Mr. Roble further asserted that the im- modesty of dress of women was “a con- stant moral danger to the innocence o: young men.” FROM ABROAD mane after being in Italy for twe years, Photo. WASHING' SOCIAL LAWS STUDY PLAN OF INSTITUTE Johns Hopkins Founds Re- search Department Looking to Scientific Advancement. BY OSCAR LEIDING, Associated Press Sclence Editor. By the Assoclated Press. BALTIMORE, July 17.—The first attack by a faculty organized for the purpose on problems of law created by modern life is being made in the Insti- tute for the Study of Law at Johns Hopkins University. Studies will be undertakzen of the changes in the law of Blackstone made by the transforma- tion of society depending mainly on agriculture to the present highly organ- ized state with its problems of trans- portation and rapid communication and those resulting from scientific discoveries. In a statement just issued, the Insti- tute for the Study of Law sald: “It is evident that the approach to the great and almost uncharted area of legal research must be made with care and foresight. - The members of the faculty are fully conscious of this. Accordingly they have expressly limited the scope of their initial &rocnm to ?tcl)fll which have the three essen- ial requisites of promising intrinsically valuable results; of being capable of ac- complishment at the present, and as of being of such character as will facili- tate the future expansion which is de- Sirable and necessary.” Members of Faculty. ‘Members of the faculty of the insti- tute are: Dr. Walter Wheeler Cook, formerly professor of law at Yale University; Dr. Leon Carroll Marshall, formerly direc- tor of economics and business at the University of Chicago; Dr. Herman Oli- phant, formerly professor of law at Co- lumbia University, and Dr. Hessel Ed- ward Yntema, formerly professor of comparative jurisprudence at Columbia University. Formally established in June, 1928, the institute now plans as far-reach- ing and important a program of re- search in human affairs as the medical school, back in 1893, had before it in solving human ailments. Remedies Sought. Soclety, including the broad area of osophy and ethics, has long been ac- cused of being bound down by mystic veneration for past practices, but this is one of the first scientific and ex- perimental attempts to supplement crit- ifcism with constructive research and remedies. “The purpose of the institute,” Dr. F. J. Goodnow, president emeritus of the university, explains, “is the study of law as it is and as it ought to be— A study of law In its whole social ng” “The backwardness of society has the immediate prosram unique opportunity not only to engage a time when science and invention have ushered in a complex clvilization es- sentlally different from the one in which our legal system developed, but also to engage in fundamental research in social organization, the common sub- | ject matter of all the social sciences.” ‘To allow society, which is pictured as a Rip Van Winkle awakening after & century and bound down by tradi- tion and prejudice to age-old methods, to cope with the on-rtish of science the | whole human scene will be laid out on the jaboratory tables. Train Personnel. In addition to & scientific analysiz of the basic functions of law and its de- ficiencies, the immediate program in- cludes the training of high-grade per- sonnel to form a “community of schol- ars” and adoption of strictly objective sclentific method and technique. “Any final judgment concerning the most promising areas of study, from the point of view of the human effects of law,” the facuity believes, “'may well await further investigation, but even at the present confidence may be placsd in the current, widespread, persistent and informed opinion that research is needed in such matters as the cost and delay of litigation, the defects in legis- lative policles and practices, the de- fective recruiting and discipline of the bar, the cultural lag of soclal institu- tions, including law, and the ‘preven- tion of disease’ in our social relation- ships.” A permanent building in which the research activities of the institute will be carried on is to be erected at Home- wood this year. No degrees will be of- fered, since the institute will be pri- marily a research and not a teaching institution. It is expected to attain a unique place in the American educa- tion system because it will not duplicate the work of existing institutions, LORD DERBY PLANS TRIP TO U. S.

By the Associatgd Press. ° The te finance committee today heard T testimony in opposition to the new provision in the House tariff bill fllb’!l:tlmcmldhn wheat, milled in bond in xport to countries granting flour made American wheat preferential duties, to & tariff equal to such preference. Such wheat intended for export to Cuba would pay & 30 per cent duty under the new provision, or about 35 cents a barrel. Pilisbury Cites Danger. John Pillsbury of the Pillsbury Flour Mills Co. of Mlnnelffills, with plants in Buffalo, declared the change would mean that Cuba would buy direct from Canada the flour it now purchases from American millers. He declared there could be no basis for opposition to the general principle of milling in bond among domestic millers, because not one barrel of flour made from the Canadian product entered domestic markets. He contended the Canadian wheat flour was especially desired by bakers in Cuba and that it was impracticable to export flour from high-protein Amer- ican wheat because such wheat could be sold entirely in domestic markets at prices above the world level. Canadian Tax Feared. Pillsbury testified that his company was prompted to establish mills in Buffalo to take care of its export busi- ness in Canada manufactured wheat after a long struggle to secure the ex- WEDNESDAY, JULY. 17, 1929. THUNDEROUS DAWES ORATORY STARTLES LUNCHEON HOSTS ritish Awe-Struck by Fire of Ambassadgr’s Speech at Drinking Ceremony. Lord Derby Would Make Helen Wills and Bobby Jones Subjects. By the Assoclated Press. LONDON, July 17.—Ambassador eye more spectacularly than ever with the English press carrying highly color- ful accounts of his appearance yesterday noon at a luncheon at the famous old Vintner's Hall. 4 He indulged there in a vocal outburst on Anglo-American relations, which brought him the characterization “Ora- tortcal Volcano” in some papers and caused others to fevert to his sobriquet, “Hell and Maria.” “Hell and Maria Dawes roared as if he were on parade ground,” the Daily Mall said, “while his audience sat silent, mesmerized, almost embarrassed, as the crescendo came. # “He shattered the ancient peaceful atmosphere ‘of Vintner's Hall and kept Lord Derby and Lord Riddell, who sat on cither side of him dodging his crash- ing fists.” Dress Startles Britons. England was also interested in Gen. Dawes’ unconventional manner of dress- ing since he appeared at the function in a gray tropical weight suit, while most of the distinguished guests who sat at the spearers’ table with him wore the port trade in flour from American wheat had failed. He said a threat of Canada placing an export tax on wheat entering the United States for milling in bond constantly was facing his and other companies. Asked by Senator Bingham, Repub- lican, Connecticut, if his Buffalo mill could not be moved across the border and mill Canadian wheat with cheaper labor, Pillsbury said it could, but it|ti represented an investment of five or six million dollars and if moved the American employes would move with it at_their same wages. The witness said the only American millers favoring the change in law were west. As an owner himself of mills in Kansas and Okla- homa, he said the advantage in the Cuban market these millers believe they would get would be practically none. Harvey Calls Restriction Unfair. W. L. Harvey, International Milling Co. of Minneapolis, widi plants in Canada and a bonded unit at Buffalo, contended the proposed duty on milled- in-bond wheat would not cut off such shipments to Cuba, but would merely transfer the trade to Canada. Harvey contended the amendment to fered by Senator Wheeler, Democrat, industry and give a protection to Can- ada that Canadian wheat growers had demanded and which had been denied by their own government. Taking the opposite side of the argu- ment, E. H, Hogueland, Kansas City, representing the Southwestern Millers' League, indorsed the House change, but said it did not go far enough. He suggested an amendment to make the flour as well as wheat brought in from Canada for export pay the same duty as the House proposed when shipped to a preferential tariff country.

Both agreed they wanted peace in Europe and ought to have friendly relations with Germany, but M. Briand balked at handing over the Rhineland before the subject was even discussed at the forthcoming conference on ad- justment of the Young plan. * Debt Victory Is Held Assured. Due to Premier Poincare’s victory yesterday the feeling today was he would have no difficulty in securing ratifica- tion of the debt accords before the end of the week. His victory yvesterday was twofold, coming first when a postponement of & debate motion was made a question of confidence and the premier won, 304 to 239. The second victory came without a roll call when the eloquence of M. Briand led M. Franklin Bouillon to withdraw a motion for postponement of ratification until the Young plan be- comes operative. A M. Briand made one of the most eloquent speeches ever heard in the Chamber. The irony and logic of the oration easily frustrated the attempted play of the emotional Boulllon, who suddenly srose and shouted, “I with- draw my motion. Denies That America Is Shylock. M. Briand denled that America was “Shylock. being head of the government when the Americans entered the war. I know whereof I speak. “The ‘enemy was in the suburbs of Verdun. Those were hours of anguish. No one then believed that victory would perch upon our flags.” ‘The mber listened in stunned si- lence as his eloquence rose to a climax. “In that desperate moment we called upon the men of the Uniied States for our just cause. However bitter may be our internal debates in this painful dis- conventional morning attire. ‘The Ambassador refrained from drinking any of the wines and liquors offered the 200 diners. He could not refrain from taking part in the anclent ceremony of passing a huge loving cup around the circle of guests, The cup, filled with a special brew, was handed to Lord Derby, who presided. He turned to Gen. Dawes and drank he Ambassador's health with due cere- mony. The Ambassador then was sup- posed to drink to the health of the guest on his left, Lord Riddell, London publisher, Insiead, he lifted the cup to his lips, held it there a moment, and then passed it on. Lord Derby in a speech later said he gathered from remarks he had heard Ambassador Dawes was going to intro- duce the loving cup ceremony among American Senators in Washington, the cup to be filled with the national Amer- ican beverage. Pays Mrs. Hertz Tribute. Lord Derby, who is a famous race horse owner, spoke of the many ties | that bind America and Britain, among which are sports. He said England had “taken many lickings” in sports from the United States with proper sporting spirit, and that incidentally England Dawes today is in the English public’ AMBASSADOR DAWES. was ready to take over Bobby Jones and Helen Wills as British subjects. He thought with these two stars peghaps England could recover some of her golf and tennis titles. B Lord Derby graciously paid tribyté to Mrs. John D. Hertz for the sporting spirit she showed in bringing the famous igh Count to England and declared that the result fully justified her faith in her horse. He remarked ruefully that he had been one of the victims, since Reigh Count had beaten one of his horses, This was in the Ascot Gold Cup in which Reigh Count finished second and Lord Derby's Cri de Guerre was an also ran. Ambassador Dawes made a character- istic energetic speech, interspersed with his dry wit and humor. He said there was too much talk about improving good relations between Great Britain and the United States. Good relations were there already, he declared, and what was needed was o get people to recog- nize this fact. “Dived” Into Speech. ‘The Ambassador “startled his audi- ence,” said the Daily Express, which noted that on previous occasions he had confined himself closely to manuseript, but came yesterday unprepared. After announcing he had “something to say” he immediately “dived into an oration on the relation between English and American peoples. His curiously harsh voice was raised to a high pitch. His actions and gesticulations were to match.” Ambassador Dawes in his speech de- clared nobody need explain to him how to get on with the English. “During the war,” he said, “I got to know the English better than a lifetime could have taught me. Our whole sit- uation was saved by the self-sacrificing generosity of the English government and the English army. “I do not know what the repercussions of this speech will be, and as a busi- ness man I am going to_take a chance on the repercussions. I want to get these great peoples in touch, not to help them to be friendly, but to prove they are friend!

Our government ordinarily maintains peaceful relations with the Soviet Union and, although the Harbin incidents necessitated taking measures regarding the Chinese Eastern Rallway, these cannot affect existing relations between the two countries. Full Reply to Be Made. “‘Ambassador Chu Zao Yang soon will return to his post, but if the Soviet government has the same opinion of the subject it may be deliberated by both sides. In our opinion, all prob- lems must be solved on the basis of existing agreements and thrashed out at the conference.

These Chinese adopted the Russia sl “Down with the imperialists and “Down with the Chinese Fascistil shouting them in a strangely enun- clated Russian, which at times became a frenzied refrain. demonstrators came to the Chinese embassy in some cases from distant suburbs, appearing in black- and-scarlet-clad columns, singing revo- lutionary hymns and shouting defiance.

On the morning of July 14 I woke up in the local hospital, but was so heavily bandaged as a result of bruises all over my body that I could not move. This evening I heard echoes of funeral music. The population was marching with the body of my comrade to the Polish warship Iskra, which is to take it to our homeland. Involuntarily my heart stops beating and I begin to ask why my pal, Idzikowski, is not with me, why he were unable to bring to #oland the glory and such material benefits as could result from this flight of ours, and why we were not allowed to make better le%uflnhnu with the American nation, which values so highly the sporting spirit of all mations. For the second e we disappointed the American Poles and our own homeland, although entirely through no fault of ours.

By the Associated Press. WESTBURY, N. Y., July 17.—Wimot Y. Mallock, coroner of Nassau County, yesterday made public a verdict that he had found no evidence that Wilmer Stulz was intoxicated on the day that the fiyer crashed in an airplane with two passengers. The three occupants of the plane were killed. “An autopsy was performed at the | behest of the district attorney of Nas- sau County, and not by the coroner, and the result of the autopsy was nof nrle;enud to ihe ceroner,” the veraict said. Mr. Hallock referred to the examina tion of Stultz’s body made by Dr. Ale: ander O. Gettler, toxicologist at Belle- vue Hospital. Dr. Gettler reported that enough al- cohol was found to indicate that Stultz was intoxicated at the time of the accident. Pilots and mechanics testified that they had talked to Stultz just before he ‘went up for his last flight and that they saw no evidence of his having been drinking. The coroner’s verdict declared that “it has been found that Stultz dled of a broken neck, ascertained by a medical examination ‘ordered by the coroner, when his plane crashed after his con- trols had been jammed while he was executing a falling leaf.” District Attorney Elvin N. Edwards of Nassau County said the coroner's ver- dict would have no effect upon his in- vestigation of the case and that he ’l'ould lay all the facts before the grand jury.

DEBT .MEETING PLACE CONCERNS PARIS PRESS England Delays Reply to Neutral ' ¢ Country Suggestion; Others Favor Parley in London. By the Associated Press. PARIS, July 17.—The Prench press today showed some concern over the final selection of a meeting place for the conferences of foreign ministers to put into operation the Young reparation plan. Great Britain, Germany and Belglum have all approved tentatively the choice of London, but France in- sists that it should be a city in a neu- tral country and has suggested Lau- sanne, Switzerland. No reply has been received from Lon- don to the French note suggesting Switzerland. In some circles it is be- leved the British delay might be caused by desire not to embarrass the I’rench government by insistence on the London choice during the debt ratification de- bates in Parliament. ———— John D., Jr., Buys Village Store. ‘TARRYTOWN.
