AY, JULY- 6, 1931. First Movie Drives Eskimo Insane on IVON ELM LEADING | IFARM BOARD PLANS BANKER CONVICTED| ON FRAUD CHARGE Rogers Caldwell Will Seek Retrial at Nashville, At- torneys Say. oclated Press. !,)';‘A’SA!?V;ILE Tenn., July 6.—Rogers Caldwell, former investment banker, was convicted by & Criminal Court jury today of fraudulent breach of trust, and his punishment was fixed at not more than three years in the State Peniten- tiary. His attorneys announced they would file motion for a new trial. Denied Knowledge. The charge against Caldwell grew out of the nlleged violation of a trust agree- ment_ between Caldwell's collapsed in- Vestment house, Caldwell & Co., and Hardeman County. Tenn. It was charged that securities less valuable than those specified in the agreement were pledged as collateral on the trust, thus violating it. Caldwell denied he knew of the irreg- ularity until long after it occurred, and he testified that when he learned of it. he immediately took every possible step to correct the condition. Opposes Testimony. J. De Witt Carter, a vice president of Caldwell & Co., testified, however, that he called the Hardeman irregu- larity and other alleged violations to Caldwell’s attention on many occasions. A large number of the 41-year-old banker's friends were in the court room as the jury returned the verdict. The jurors received the case Saturday. The charge on which Caldwell was convicted was one of four brought against him here. A similar accusa- tion relates to another Hardeman County bond issue and two indictments charge Teceiving deposits in an insol- vent bank. Caldwell is under Federal indictment at Knoxville in connecton with an al- leged transaction of the closed Holston Union National Bank of Knoxville, in which he was interested. State and Federal _charges also pending sgainst him in Kentucky. Outstanding in Finance. Caldwell was one of the outstanding financiers of the South. In the 14 years of his company’s existence, esti- mates placed the number of Southern securities disposed of at between $250,- 000,000 and $300.000.000. Offices were maintained over the Nation and the company engaged in financing in a wide and varied field that included many large mills, hotels, road building projects. bridges, office buildings, hospitals. apartment houses and insurance companies Caldwell has been prominent in sports, especially in horse racing and fox hunting. He disposed of his rac- ing stable shortly after the crash of his business last November. Linked With Governor. During a recent legislative investiga- tion of State affairs in Tennessee Caldwell's name figured frequently in the testimony. Several witnesses told the investi- gators the construction of his half- million-dollar home was financed by the Bank of Tennessee and carried on that institution's books for a time as an asset. When articles of impeachment were presented to the House of Represent- atives against Gov. Henry H. Horton, several weeks ago, Caldwell was named as ope of those who conspired with the Governor to manipulate State affairs to their personal advantage in exchange for political and financial support The impeachment movement was de- feated by the House. Caldwell's trial started June 8. His defense was that he traveled con- stantly as a “contact man” for the banks and therefore did not have inti- mate knowledge of their routine transactions. He told ne®spaper men today his conviction came as a “tremendous sur- prise” and that he was confident of “complete vindication eventually.” are COE RITES TO BE HELD AT FORT MYER CHAPEL Funeral for Late Engineer Corps Captain Set for Tomor- row.

GOVERNMENT ___(Continued Prom First Page)_ no doubt, to 4 misunderstanding of our governmental relations to the financial machinery of the country. “The French government insists that | reparations? in kind, which involve about $20,000,000 so far as France is concerned, should be distinguished from other reparations. It is not so much the $20,000.000 which is involved as| the fact that we have already been notified from four or five other govern- ments that they must make exceptions | to the President’s plan if exceptions are made to any one. And thus the plan would become very seriously whit- tled away. Very Technical Question. “The reparations in kind, however, are a very technical question, as are the other questions raised by the French government. They all arise from the difficulties lying in the com- plex character of individual rights to ! reparations from Germany under the Young plan “Mr. Mellon has not felt that we | could accept the French note as a basis | for settlement as it raised such new and serious difficulties and did not | acept the President’s plan in principle, | which has been done by all the other important governments. We have. how- ever, communicated to Mr. Meilon a | new and simplified formula which we | believe meets the entire situation, as it simply provides that we agree in | principle on certain major questions and that all technical questions and reparations in kind and every other question should b> referred to a com- mittee of treasury experts of the differ- ent powers. who should arrive at a solution of them within the broad spirit of the President's proposal. We feel that it will offer a constructive solution to the various difficulties.” President Hoover was in conference at the White House today with both Acting Secretary of State Castle and | Ogden Mills, the Acting Secretary of the Treasury. They talked with Sec- retary Mellon on the telephone. Others May Ask Change. | Secretary Castle in his statement to | the press referred to the fact that four | jor five other governments have noti- | fed the United States that if excep- tions are made for the French in the matter of German reparations in kind. | they will also have to seek “exceptions” | to_the plan, too. Some of the other European coun- tries. particularly those which manu- facture large quantities of coods, do not look with entire equinimity on th payment of reparations in kind made | by Germany to France. They feel mnr] If the market were open 1o their own manufacturers, it would help to ease their own unemployment situations. This may be at the bottom of some of the objections to exceptions being made in the Hoover plan so that France shall continue to receive these reparation payments in kind during the coming year. President Hurries Back. President Hoover hurried back to the ! white House vesterday afternoon from |his camp on the Rapidan and rejected the plan of the French for dealing with German payments of reparations in kind, which had been cabled to the United States Saturday night, follow- ing a long conference between Secre- |tary Mellon, Ambassador Edge and the | The French in their proposal, which was mot satisfactory to President | Hoover, maintained that the committee of experts suggested by this Govern- | ment to work out details of the inter- | national debt suspension. should not be | bound beforehand to consider claims for | the continuation of the payment of in kind where they are connected with | {running contracts. A fresh memorandum was transmit- ted last night to Secretary Mellon for presentation to the French setting forth the position of the American Govern- | ment in this connection. ‘This memo- | randum held that in settling contro- versial points referred to the commis- sion must resolve every issue in accord with the spirit of the President's plan. | Little Money Involved. | There is comparatively a small amount of money actually involved in the settlement of this question relating | to payments in kind where contracts have already been made, it is said, ap- | proximating $23.000.000. It has been suggested here that the difficulty might ' be ironed out by providing that the| money paid for these payments in kind | be_promptly reloaned to Germany The manner in which payments of German reparations are made “in kind" is in reality an intergovernmental trans- -action. A business man in France or- ders material from a German firm, for example, and the delivery is made. The | Frenchman pays his own government for the material, while the German firm is paid by the German govern- ment. The situation in Paris was believed to have been materially aided by a formal statement made to the Amer- ican Government by Dr. Henrich Bruening, German chancellor, giving one of the political guarantees which the French have been seeking indirect- | ly from the Germans ever since the ne- | gotiations over the President's debt | suspension plan opened. Won’t Increase Arms. In its note to the State Department the German government said that Ger- many would not take advantage of | President Hoover's moratorium proposal by increesing armaments. The German note follows: “In view of the fears which have sprung up in some circles that the amounts released in the German bud- get by the relief from reparations pay- ments might be used to increase arma- ments, I declare that an increase in the appropriation for the Army and Navy during the holiday year has never been contemplated nor will it take place. “The aggregate alleviations accruing to Germany from the Hoover plan are required and will be used in their en- tirety to cover the deficits in revenue | which are to be expected, to consolidate financial conditions, and to save Ger- man econcmic life.” France, in its original reply to Presi- dent Hoover's moratorium proposal, urged that precautions be taken to re- quire Germany to use money saved through the propesal for economic pur- poses. 40 BURMESE KILLED Rebel Loss Includes Two Score In- jured in Shan States.
