BANKS Federal Court Ruling Favers De- fendant in Action Involving Soviet Gold. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, June 6—The Bank of France yesterday lost its $5,000,000 suit against the Chase National Bank and the Equitzble Trust Co., to recover that amount in gold ingots received by the defendant banks fiom the Soviet gov- ernment in February, 1928. Federal Judge Francis G. Caffey dis- missed the suit from the bench, ending a trial that had taken nin: weeks to present and three days for summation. The suit was to determine the rights of foreign qwners of property confis- cated by the Soviet government in 1917 and to recover the value of such prop- erty in replevin suits against the Soviet government for possession of an equal amount of its property wherever found. The gold in dispute was purchased in behalf of the Bank of France, prior to 1917, and was in vaults in the Banks of Petrograd, when the Soviet govern- ment came into power and ccnfiscated it. Later the Soviet government sought to dispose of the gold through the de- fendant banks. The gold finally was shipped back to Russia. B. & 0.

SEEKS SPECIMENS OF FIRST ANIMALS Geologist at National Mu- seum Will Search for Rel- ics of Cambrian Age. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, June 6.—Creatures be- leved by some scientists to have been man's earliest ancestors, crab-like ani- mals that lived 600 million years ago. will be sought by & geologist who saled for Europe yesterday. . He is C. E. Resser, of the National Museum st Washington. Resser will search abroad this Summer for remains of primitive animals believed of the ancient Cambrian age, which lived in the sea and represent the earliest known { animal life on earth. | The animals were the trilobites, crab- like creatures mot more than two feet long, small jellyfish. snails and worms, all now extinct, but thought to repre- sent the first known animal link in the chain of evolution that leads up to present-day animals, Resser says. The Cambrian period was so ancient that its estimated age of 600 million years can be arrived at most success- fully only by the method used in esti- imating the total age of the earth—the rate at which certain radioactive min- erals lose their energy and turn to lead. Using this method, geologists have placed the total age of the earth at 1,852 million years. Only Life Was at Sea. There was no life on land, neither animals nor plants, during the Cam- brian period, Resser says. The con- tinents were arranged much as they are now, but_were low, bare and un- attractive. The only life was in the sea, where low forms gf both plants and animals existed. No animals, only plants, are known to have existed in ages before the Cambrian. Shells of the animals, and imprints of the bodies of both animals and plants preserved in the rocks as fossils enable geologists to picture the life of the Cambrian age. Resser hopes to find additional speci- mens in sands and clays of the Cam- brian age that are conveniently near the surface in_Poland, Czechoslovakia and Esthonia. In addition he will study collections of Cambrian relics in Euro- pean museums. Relies Collected by Walcott. About 80 per cent or more of the Cambrian relics that have been found are in possession of the Smithsonian In- stitution and National Museum. They were_collected from all over the world by Dr. C. D. Walcott, who was secre- tary of the Smithsonian from 1907 to Walcott never found time to classify them or summarize the knowledge avail- able in the collection, however. Resser has undertaken this work. and is pre- paring a reference volume which will be a digest of everything known about the life of the Cambrian age. The knowledge he gains in Europe will be used to round out the work. |GANGSTER IS JAILED i Frank McErlane Reported to Have Been Drunk at Time of Random Firing. | | ! } By the Associated Press | CHICAGO, June 6.—Frank McEr- +lane, possessor of an 18-year record as gunman, robber and beer runnmer, and charged four times with murder, spent last night in jail, charged with firing a shotgun inside the city limits.

There they ran across a strange circumstance, & series of accounts in which the first name was always James—James Carter, James Costello and so on. An account in the James series would run & month or two, then would be ciosed out, and strange circum- stance, & new James account would cpen with the balance of the old James account. The bank officials were asked about these accounts. They professed igno- rance, although District Attorney Johnson dryly observed they honored overdrafts of $4,000 to $6,000 & month. ‘The records c¢f the James accounts had been done away, so Federal men were forced to weary hours of examina- tion of clearing-house re: . Into the James accounts they found the deposit of check after check made out by Cicero saloon keepers. They went to the saloon keepers. ‘What were the checks for? “Chicken—we bought chickens to serve our customers,” gravely replied the saloon keepers. “One saloon keeper,” observed District Attorney Johnson, “had given checks for enough ‘chickens’ to feed all Chi- cago.” “Little Man” Identified. ‘The hunt continued. A description of a little man who took the checks for the “chicken” was obtained. Through Police Bureau of Identifieation records they found a photograph of “the little man.” It was identified by bank em- ployes and saloon keepers. ‘1hrough him the bank sccounts were linked to Ralph Capone, and the first step of the investigation was over. A number of clews developed, for checks had cleared through the account that gave the Federal men a number| of other leads. Jake Guzik's operations appeared in the account and Sam Guzik's and Louie Lipschultz’s and, most important, “Scai face” Al Capone’s. ! ‘These incomes were investigated and | further trails to the Al Capone income were indicated. The agents learned that Capone had shared in the income of Cicero and | Chicago gambling houses, of dog tracks ! at Cicero and elscwhere. They learned that when Capone was out of the city, Jake, or his bus boy, Bobby Barton, was accustomed to telegraph the gang chief large sums of money. They ran across a brokerage account. : The investigation of this brokerage account shows how painstakingly the agents operated. As collateral in the margin account, some Liberty bonds had been put up. Only the serial num- bers of the bonds were shown. Liberty Bonds Traced. Internal revenue agents went to ‘Washington to start the trail of the Liberty bonds. The trail led to the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, thence through a half dozen more Chi- cago banks and through other hands and were finally linked to the Govern- ment_ investigation. Agents were sent into the Michigan oil field about Muskegon on a tip that Capone had interests there. They went to California on the report that he owned ranch property in that State They went to Pennsylvania, to Phila- delphia, where Capone had spent some- thing less than a year in jail for gun- toting: to Villa Nova, where Capone's younger brother, Mathew, had gone to school. The Federal men went to Florida, where Capone maintained a Winter home and where many of the télegraph remittances from Guzik and other lleu- tenants had reached him. They learned that Capone was accus- tomed to paying for everything in cui- rency—using currency for evcn a Lrans- action such &s the purchase of a $175 .- 000 estate or & $40,000 yacht. They learned he loved to gamble—that he could toss away thousands of collars at a gambling table or a race track. and finally they learned enough about Ci pone’s income to ask and obtain an in- dictment. “The agents talked to moré than a thousand persons’ Chief Agent M den said today, “In prosecuting the inquiry.” (Copyright, l 1931. by North American News- paper Alliance, Ine.) SPEEDY HEARING SOUGHT. Named to Prosecute Capone Income Tax Case. CHICAGO, June 6 (#).—Less than 24 | hours after “Scarface Al” Capone was indicted on income tax evasion charges Government officials sought a program of speedy arraignment and trial of the gang chief. s Federal District Attorney George E. Q. Johnson said he had appointed Samuel Clawson, Jacch I. Grossman and Dwight H. Green, his assistants, to | prosecute the case before Judge John P, Barnes, probably this Summer. Grossman and Green participated in the successful prosecutions of Al's brother Ralph, his business. manager, Jack Guzik, and other gangsters. ‘The Government has yet to lose a case on income tax charges. Faces Possible 32-Year Term. Capone faces the possibility of a 32- year penitentiary sentence and a fine of Three ernment income tax. This is the maximum sentence pos- sible if he is convicled on the charges cn which he surrendered yesterday, fol- lowing his indictment by a Federal grand jury. He posted a $50,000 bond and was released. There were two Indictments, one was returned yesterday. Another was voted March 16, but was sup- pressed. They contained six felony and two misdemeanor counts and alleged a Government tax claim of $215,080.45. ‘The indictments marked the cuimi- nation of two years of investigation under the direction of A. P. Madde) chief of the special intelligence di partment of the Internal Revenue Bu- reau, curing which Madden said that more than 1,000 persons were interviewed. A total income of $1,038,- 654.84 during the years of 1924 to 1929, Inclusive was charged. Federal agents, however, said this did not rep- resent Capone's income, but only the sums which could be definitely traced. The indictments ccnstituted but one of a serles of blows the Government has truck at Capone, whose income from his liqucr, vice and gambling in- terest 1is reputed\ to have reached enormous sums.

Hatfleld made the assertion in a state- ment through the Republican National Committee yesterday shortly after the Democratic National Committee made its quarterly report to the clerk of the House. The report showed the Demo- cratic committee’s total unpaid obliga- tions amounted to $707.054, of which $295.250 is due to Raskob for loans. The report noted Raskob had loaned $40.000 to the committee in the quarter ending May 31, while receipts were listed at $41721 and expenditures at $42,134, leaving a balance in the treas- ury of $10441. Loans amounting to $402,250 to the County Trust Co. of New York were listed, along with un- paid interest amounting to $9.554. “Mr. Raskob” Hatfield said, “is steadily increasing the size of the mort- gage which he holds upon the once proud party of Jefferson and Jackson.” He added the financing program adopi- ed at the National Committee's mecting here in March, with a goal of $6.000,000, to have encountered some difficulties.” U.

Rockefeller, were honey- mooning in seclusion today, happy in Harold F. McCormick’s approval of his son’s marriage. John E. Mack, counsel for the bride, said the couple had gone to East- hampton, Long Island. James A. Stillman, from whom the bride obtained a divorce secretly in Poughkeepsie Thursday, left on the Olympic early today for Europe. He vigorously denied he had married again. It was on the Olympic that he and Mrs. in 1926 after sensational divorce pro- ceedings had been dropped. Twenty Years Her Junlor.

For six years, since the Stillmans’ marital troubles became front page news, McCormick had been mentioned as a possible suitor. Mrs. Stillman had ridiculed this, how- ever, and pointed to the difference in their. ages, McCormick Approves. Harold F.

Budgets Topic for Parley. ‘The budgetary limitation of arma- ments will form an important part of {the discussion at the mext General i Disarmament Conference, and Mr. Gibson fs taking the opportunity of getting better acquainted with ~this subject at the Rapidan Conference. Neither Secretary of Navy Adams nor the chief of the Admiral William V. Pratt, believes that under the present circumstances any cuts in the American naval building program can made. Both are emphatic in stating Government econ- omies must not in any way jeopardize national safsty. As it is, the Navy is complaining that its strength is' far below the London treaty level because Congress has failed to appropriate the necessary funds for th> new cruisers and airplane carriers of the 1936 program. Concequently any | saving that may be made can come only from the shore establishments and pos- sibly by not commissioning the new training ship Arizona. Arms Cut Rumor Discounted. It is said that President Hoover, while favoring further Army and Navy reductions, is fully aware of the fact this cannot be a unilateral business, As long as the other naval powers show no intention to reduce their navies the United States must proceed with the naval program as agreed on in London. ‘There are no signs that European powers -are going to slow down their armament bullding. Only recently the French ' Chamber of Deputies voted $40.000.000 for new naval construction, nn‘(: the Italian government is following suit. A. V. Alexander, British first lord of the admiralty, has stated in several speeches that should France and Italy continue to build ships as they have until now, Great Britain will be com- pelled to do the same. He has indi- cated that the British Empire, in spite of its desire to cut down the burden of armaments, may be forced to -use the escalator clause and go beyond the London treaty program.

NEW YORK, June 6.—A eugenic democracy, with ballot so limited to real intelligence that even the wealthy and aristocratic might be sometimes dis- barred, was visualized today at the nineteenth annual meeting of the Eu- genic Research Association at the American Museum of Natural 3 Prof, Harrison R. Hunt of Michigan State College, Lansing, Mich., drew this plcture in a talk on “Biological Defects in Democracy.” Inequality Evident. “The biological discoveries of & half century or more,” he sald, “have re- vealed that instead of all pecple being potentially equal at birth, certain hu- men capacities vary enormously, so that one might almost say that it is self-evident that men are created un- equal.” ‘This condition of unequality, he said, must be taken into account in & “r: tional” attitude toward democratic gov- ernment. “Such government.” he added, “can be greatly improved if the right to vote and hold office is limited to those per- sons of good mental capacity, public spirit, humanitarian enthusiasm snd interest in governmental affairs. “This weuld mean that most members of some family of ability would earn the privilege of voting and holding of- fice in each generation, for, as Galton showed, ability tends to run in families. Decadence Possible. “It would be possible, however, for the introduction of inferior blood into a family line or the decadence of its public spirit to result in disqualification of persons in hitherto competent fam- flies. At the same time it would be pos- sible for able men and women of humble origin to merit the franchise. “Such changes would not come about at once—we are expressing an ideal. ‘We now require that a person shall be naturalized, 21 years of age and not obviously mentally defective. Why not add one or more of the following pre- requisites: An eighth-grade education. ownership of capital accumulated by one’s own efforts, mastery of a difficult trade or profession, ability to pass ex- aminations on government and political history and. in time, perhaps, capacity to pass mental and temperamental tests devised by psychologists for this pur- TO OPEN CONFERENCE TODAY WITH MACDONALD ___(Continued Prom First Page. son and other cabinet ministers en- tertained them. ‘They told the press that Germany was heavy-laden with economic prob- lems common to all countries and that “the present German government is convinced that the only possible way to solve them is by the frank co-opera- ticn of all the nations of the world.” Says Radicalism Growing. Germany has tried in every possible y to reduce expenzes znd to evolve a sound financial policy, Bruening said. and those measures have placed heavv burdens on all classes. “Radicglism is growing there’ he added. The London newspapers take the po- sition that Great Britain has forgotten war - time animcsities and favors friendly relations with the German state, but that she cannot act alone in the matter of reducing reparations pay- ments. “The utmost that can be done at Chequers is to consider the possibility of an_international move in the direc- tion Germany desires,” says the Tele- ph. The Times states that, although the German government has made repested efforts to straighten out the situation by ruthless economies taxation, she is not altogether blame- less for her economic plight. Must Prove Herself. “A dangerous state of mind” paper said, “has been created among the German people by exaggerations and falsehoods uttered by the German press and public leaders in reference to reparations, especially among the Com- munists and Hitlerites. “Germany must really do her utmost i to help herself and if she expects help she must begin by herself s good European,” the Times added. “The present visit should be useful if it to draw Germany from the state of spiritual isolation in which she has been shrouded too long.” NOT DIRECTED AGAINST FRANCE.
