1. s DRUG RAID YIELDS - NAME OF JURIST Magistrate Vitale Listed as | “Frequently Called” by New i York Narcotics Band. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, December 30.—Disclo- sure by United States Attorney Charles H. Tuttle that the name and telephone number of City Magistrate Albert H. Vitale had been found among papers seized in a narcotic raild heightened made into Vitale’s connections. Mr. Tuttle said Pederal narcotic agents had found a card in a small black bag owned by Louis Facarons, Harlem cafe owner, bearing the caption “numbers frequently called.” Among the notations on the card, they sald, was “Al Vitale, Fordham 6435.” The number is that listed for the residence of Magistate Vitale in the telephone book. Photostatic copies of the card will be turned over to the Bar Association of New York, Mr. Tuttle said, for use in the investigation being conducted by the association into the magistrate's conneetions. Charge Hold-up to Terranova. The investigation was ordered by Judge Victor J. Downing of the appel- late division of the Supreme Court after a testimonial dinner, at which Vitale was guest of honor, was held-up by seven men, who robbed guests of money and jewels and took a pistol from De- tective Arthur Johnson. Last week at a police trial, where Johnson faced charges of dereliction of duty for losing his gun to the robbers, a police inspector testified that the hold-up of the dinner was staged by Ciro Terranova to recover a contract | in which Terranova agreed to Ely s Chicago gunman $20,000 for killing Frankie Yale and Frank Marlow, New York gangsters.

Nareotic agents arrested 16 persons as members of three Nation-wide drug peddling organizations Saturday night. Faccarona, among whose papers was found Magistrate Vitale's telephone number, is said by the authorities to be the leader of one of the rings.

Members of the police secret service ! squad reported that all three were pres- ent at the dinner and they were said to have been the three men who were sent out after the hold-up and within a few hours recovered the jewelry and some of the money taken from the guests. Police held them on charges of com- plicity and robbery. WOMAN HELPED IN RAIDS. Chicagoan Makes Purchase From Nar- cotic Ring Member. CHICAGO, December 30 (#).—Into the glare resulting from the smashing of a Nation-wide narcotic ring, Fed- eral officials today credited & woman as one who played a primary role in set- unsghthe mln.m N e is Miss Ty Whelan, legal ad- viser to the Chicago narcotic division. It was Miss Whelan—posing as & drug addict—who sought out William Bailey, contact man for the narcotic ring, and arranged with him the pur- chase of 10 ounces of & narcotic, rang- ing in price from $80 to $90 an ounee. Delivery was made on October 22 last, and Balley was arrested, Revelation of Bailey’s arrest was not made, however, until the announcement in New York yesterday that leaders of the ring—headed by Louis Faccarona— had been arrested in that city.

AUGUSTA, Me., December 30.—An- ‘vars to a questionnaire by 2500 of last June's high schorl graduates in this State showed that the majority had chosen “Honor thy father and mother” as the most important commandment. Col. Charles A. Lindbergh was the living character most admired, “moth- er” was a close second, Thomas A. Edi- son was third and President Hoover fourth. The questionnaire was sent out by a committee of the Maine Princi- pals* Association and the State depart- ment of education. “Honor” appealed to both sexes as the quality most admired in boys and girls, with good manners and scholar- ship’ ranking second and third, re- spectively. Smart clothes and excel- lence in dancing followed. Approximately 95 per cent of the girls intended to become teachers, nurses or stenographers.

NORMAN THOMAS ATTACKS TAX QUT Tariff Bill Coalition Also Scored in Address at Cosmos Club. The administration’s tax reduction program, and the position taken by the Democratic-Progressive coalition in Congress on the tariff bill were attack- ed by Norman Thomas, director of the League for Industrial Democracy, in an address last night at the Cosmos Club. Thomas, formerly Soclalist candidate for President and candidate for mayor of New York last Fall, was tendered a testimonial dinner at the club, mem- bers of tahe American Economic Asso- clation, which is in session here, being among the guests. Dr. John H. Gray is president. “The administration sponsors ‘as a progressive and hopeful policy & reduc- tion of taxes for the well-to-do and rich,” sald Thomas, “although what we obviously need is to increase the pur- chasing power of the poor. Rule of Special Privilege. “In our cities like New York and Philadelphia we have the frank rule of special privilege through political brokers, who take a generous commis- 4| sion for deciding on the right mixture of bonds and the lash to keep the dogs from jumping on the table. After a very close absorption in municipal af- fairs I am more than ever persuaded that there is no hope of any lasting de- feat for Tammany and equivalent ma- chines in other cities, save as we give the rank and file of the wantless work- s new vision, new understanding of ‘what the city now does to them as con- trasted with what it might be to and for them, and a program which will make the benefit of good government more rea lthan any special favors.”. With reference to the tariff, Thomas said there is mot much Aq bé hoped from the liberalsor progresgives. Harmfulness of Tariffs. “In Washington they may do a useful work in blocking higher industrial tariffs,” he said, “but Borah and his colleagues are forcing agricultural tar- iffs, which may have their uses as giv- ing the Pennsylvania Grundys and oth- ers & dose of their"own medicine. In the long run they will not solve the farm problem, while they will add to the cost of living.” s ‘The dinner was arranged by the fol- lowing committee: Col. Stephen Bon- sal, Miss Busan 8.

Gas From Sewerage. ‘The humble cornstalk, for years a drug on the market, is likely to find a place, for efforts have been made in many directions by the scientist to turn it to some account, It appears that success has been made in t:e direction of making & paper stock from it, and later it has been announced that & gas may be made from it for lighting, heat- ing and power. Dr. Buswell of the University of Illinols. is largely respon- ble for the process. For this purpose the stalks are combined with ordinary sewage and converted into a gas by a p{ocle'ss S0 simple that any one can ap- ply it. After husking, the stalks are dried, shredded, boiled, soaked in water or lime, and then, together with the sew- .fe, put into a small tank that is pro- vided with a cover to permit collecting the ’s. There the mixture is al- X to ferment—the bacteria in the sewage doing the work, A farmer could thus produce enough gas to supply the needs of a family of 4 or 5 from the material which could be fermented in a gas tank 8 feet in diameter and 8 feet deep. It is estimated that a corn belt within a radius of 4 miles could provide enough of the raw product to meet the demand for gas of a city of 80,000 people. Horned Toads Have Their Friends.

By the Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA, ~December 30.— Secretary of Labor James J. Davis in- timated last night that he may be a candidate for the United States Senate at the May primaries against Senator Joseph R. Grundy. He previously had indicated that he would seek the Re- publican gubernatorial nomination. Mr. Davis conferred here yesterday with several labor leaders and others from Eastern Pennsylvania. Asked when he intended to make the formal announcement of his candidacy for governor, he said: . “I am not wholly wedded to this talk for governor. I am consul with many persons in various parts nn- sylvania. Some recent developments have been very interesting to me. Right now the plans of my friends are work- ing out satisfactorily.” “For the gubernatorial campaign?” he was asked. “For governor or for United States Senator,” he replied. “Do you mean that you fi for Senator against Grun “You can place your own interpreta- tion' on my words,” the semurr re- plied. “Once in this nl’ul‘l: I will give the voters of Pennsylvan! glenly to think about.

Du¢ to the use of more power- ful locomotives and cars having a I capacity than formerly, trains of gre tonnage have been sent over the rails and with greater dispatch than in pre- vious years. Industry Stimulated. © “By thus speeding up the wheels of their locomotives, by converting car shortages into surpluses, and by improv- ing many other factors of operating ef- ficlency, the railroads have stimulated the pulse of industry, have helped to stabilize buying and selling, have en- abled manufacturers and merchants to reduce inventories and have made a vital contribution to the economic progress of the Nation.” Capital expenditures last year totaled $800,000,000, an_increase of nx roxi- mately $123,000,000 over 1928, hton said, in addition to about $1,300,000,000 for operation and maintenance sup- D}lefl and $3,000,000,000 in wages to em- loyes. i ‘assenger traffic was less than for any year in the last 20, he added, amount- ing to 31,000,000,000 passenger miles, a reduction of one-third from the record year of 1920. Exports Increasing. R e valued at. $455,383,000 were Teco the head of an increasing export trade for the first nine months of 1929 in a Teport today by the foreign commerce department of the Chamber of Com- merce of the United States. Pointing out that the total exports of $3,844,000,000 for the nine-month period was slightly more than 8 per cent above the total for the same "ge- riod a year ago, the report said that the 22.1 per cent increase of the au- ile e trade during the year was followed In order by unmanufac- tured cotton, line, refined copper and agricultural machinery. The unmanufactured cotton sales were valued at $444,501,000, a decline of 14.9 per cent as compared with the first nine months of 1928, while gasoline exports were valued at $197,701,000, an increase of 14.3 per cent. Copper Values Rise. Refined copper declined sharply in quantity, but with an average increase of 4 cents a pound, so that the total value of this class of exports, the re~ port said, was $117,044,000, or 10.8 per cent larger than the same period of 1928; but the quantity—649,602,000 pounds—was 11 per cent less than in the same period of the previous year. Exports of agricultural machinery, the report continued, showed signs of slowing up, but the value of this class of exports in the was $109,721,- 000 and was 21.6 he same period of last year. Klectrical machinery ex- ports amounted to $86,211,000. “The present analysis of our nine months' foreign commerce,” the report sald, “comes at a time when the minds of business men are centered upon the stabilization and promotion of Amer- ica’s industry and trade. Export Trade Balance Wheel. “For years export trade has been the key to business stability in many in- dustries. It has provided a permanent outlet abroad for American production during good times and dull. When domestic trade has been in recession it has often kept in motion what would otherwise have been an idle plant, It has taken up the seasonal slack. “At moment in our national eco- nomic history it is heartening to find 30 many export lines making rapid progress in overseas markets and to note that export trade as a whole dur- ing the first nine months of 1929 is well above both the 1928 trade and the everage of the trade for the past five years.” ‘The report showed that leaf tobacco trade declined 2.8 per cent to a total value of $84,747,000. Wheat demands increased 7.5 per cent to $78,604,000, but were 351 per cent below the 1924-1928 average. Finished manufactures, thg report sald, constituted more than ‘@.If of the total export and increased 18 per cent in the nine months. 2O I Only about half & pound of radium has been produced in the world since Mme.
