INFLATION I HELD ' DEPRESSION CAUSE International Credit Blamed ! in Address Before Personal Finance Convention. International credit inflation was gwxned as one of the principal causes f the present industrial depression by Grosvenor Jones, chief of the Division of Finance and Investment of the ent of Commerce, in addressing the sixtenth annual convention today ©f the American Association of Personal ;‘Lnlnce Companies at the Mayflower otel. Mr. Jones was the principal speaker Bt & luncheon meeting which followed the convening of the organization this morning at the United States Chamber of Commerce Building. Delegates are in attendance from 24 States and the District of Columbia. The convertion Wwill close Priday afternoon. Credit Inflation Blamed. Pointing out the part that the United States had played in the re-establish- ment of world credit following the war, the speaker said that in his opinion the sharp decline in commodity prices the world over during the past year was largely a result of the more restricted use of the gold exchange standard forced through finaneial dislocation in the United_States. Mr. Jones traced the “industrial revo- lution” brought about by the applica- tion of modern invention and modern method of production to what he termed “the super-industrial revolution,” and #ald it was not surprising that in the changes wrought there should be mal- adjustment in the volume of goods pro- duced throughout the world, as well @5 in the political and social order. Delay Increased Decline. “The decline in prices,” he said, “has been sharper because of the fact that it was belated. Instead of a sharp de- cline occurring in a single year there would probably have been a gradual decline extending over a period of sev- eral years had the transition from a very liberal use of the gold-exchange standard been less abrupt. Moreover, & gradual decline in prices would have tended to discourage investment of capi- tal in new productive enterprises and thus to avert an overproduction of com- codmes which would have tended to kesp prices on a more stable basis.” Robert V. Fleming, president of the Riggs National Bank, i, welcoming the delegates to the convention declared that the personal finance business ren- ders an essential service to that part of the population which cannot com- mand customary bank credit. Demand Is Shown. "lnvestigltions conducted in many ‘ommunities,” said Mr. Fleming, “where the uniform small loan law is now upon the statute books reveal the p: need for this class of credit and show the demand for the sort of companies tuh.lt comprise your national organiza- jon “In view of the fact that you did a business approximating more than halt & billion dollars last year, we certainly cannot regard you as a poor relation. Your method of finance is assuredly an essential one in contributing to the welfare of an element of our population h the medium of small loans to those who need them, vet are not lhle to command the customary bank ’rhe convention was called to order by the president, Albert P.

Mrs. Douthitt also attempted to fire at Roy Elam, a young attorney, but was disarmed by Elam, Joe Porter, court dailiff, and Harry Kirkenhall, another attorney. ‘The 30-odd court attaches, attorneys and spectators were thrown into a panic when Mrs. Douthitt, who had been act- ing as her own attorney, arose from the counsel uhle, whipped a pistol from her dress and fired.

WIDOW SHOOTS UP | AFRICAN SPEAKER AROUSES PROTEST Herndon Crowd Stirred by Appearance in School of Zulu Prince. Special Dispatch to The Star. FAIRFAX, Va., September 24.—Race prejudice flamed hlzh last night among some of the citizens of the Herndon neighborhood who resented the appear- ance in the high school here yesterday afternoon of Prince Bulano Cetwayo, Zulu chieftain from South Africa. ‘When Supt. of Schools W. T. Wood- son of Fairfax was aroused from sleep by a pounding on his door he found a crowd of ‘rough-looking persons and six or eight machines gathered in front of his house. They left behind them a somewhat disturbed and alarmed, but unharmed, foreigner who had been called suddenly from his sleep a half hour previously on the pretext of answering a telephone call. Though the men refused to re- veal their 1d!n!(ly they made it plain to n that they resented that a | representative of the colored race had been granted permission to speak in a white Virginia school. Supt. Woodscn states that the prince, who is highly educated, holds a degree from five English colleges and speaks | 14 languages, has been granted per- mission to speak in !"nh’hx County schools on educational subjects by ar. rangement with individual school prin- cipals. He has already spoken in sev- eral hl(h &chools and churches in the county. His talks are said to cover his ex- periences in getting an education after having been brought up in ignorance until he was 28 years old. It is under- stood that no charge was made for the lecture, although a collection Is some- times taken up to cover his expenses while touring the United States. No collection was taken up at Herndon yesterday. The prince stated to Woodson that the crowd made no attempt to injure him. Woodson gave the prince moncy WD.SULVAN, 9, | DESATHOWE HERE Oldest Bank Director in Cap- ital Was Veteran of 1861. Born in Alexandria. ‘William D.

William Jenkins, employe of Vernon Rickard, owner of a gasoline station, | told officers that while he was alone at | the station Cooper and McAboy came there and acted in a disorderly man- i ner. One of them, he testified, seized a piece of rope and slipped a noese over his head, while the other held him and threatened him if he made an outcry. Jenkins declared he had sald nothing to offend the men; in fact, they had seized him before he had even spoken to_them. With the rope around his neck, | Jenkins said, he was taken a consider- able distarce from the one way and then another, the men saying they were trying to find a tree. There were no trees in sight, so Cooper | and McAboy, he claimed, pushed him over and dragged him along the road- | way several hundred yards, resultipg lg his being so severely lacerated an bruised that he had to be given med- ical attention after the men drove Dfl" as Vernon Rickard returned to the ‘ filling station. Rickard made a report to the police | after Jenkins had told him of the men tying the rope around his neck and dragging him along the roadway.
