DENVER, Colo., December 23 (#).— Senator Key Pittman, Democrat, of Nevada, declared yesterday that inabil- ity of all silver-using nations to buy American goods at the gold standard price is responsible for a decrease of 68 per cent in this Nation's exports. En route to Nevada with Mrs. Pitt- man for the Christmas holiday, the Senator addressed Denver's Mile-high Club. ‘The low price of silver, he said, is “disrupting money exchange, stagnating trade, destroying our foreign trade and depressing our domestic markets.” Peach Trees in Full Bloom, MOULTRIE, Ga.

The Federal Farm Board will agres to use of its wheat supply for unem- ployment relief, but believes the should be repaid by the Government. according to a report received vester- day by Chairman McNary of the Sen- ate Agriculture Committee. The Capper-Wheeler bill to give 40.- 000.000 bushels to the Red Cross or | such other organizations as President Hoover might designate is on the Senate calindar, but a vote went over until after the holidays. Chairman Capper of the subcommit- tee which dealt with the wheat relief problem, however, said today he did not believe the board’s request for payment for the grain would be granted. The board's reguest previously had been presented informally by Chairman Stone and Secretary Hyde and was dis- cussed today by subcommittee men. Stone, in & letter accompanying the report to McNary. cited loans made to the Grain Stabilization Corporation on the wheat as collateral. The report said: “The conclusion is inescapable that the Federal Farm Board, if this wheat is utilized under the proposed act, must furnish additional sums.” It was estimated the wheat would cost $16,000,000. The board suggested an amendment making it a criminal offense to sell the wheat or flour donated. HOME FOR INCURABLES SEEKS “TALKIES” FUND Drive Started for Money to Install Projector so Residents Can Have Entertainment. ‘The Washington Home for Incurables has launched a campaign for contribu- tions with which to purchase talking motion picture equipment for the en- tertainment of its inmates. Motion pictures, the home announced today, long have contributed to the lightening of the burden carried by the residents of the home. But progress, which has ended the production of silent films, has virtually closed this means of entertainment for them. The expense of sound equipment has made the modernization of the home’'s movie facilities impossible, and so, with the home now is appealing for funds with which to buy a sound projector. Contributions are being received at the home, 3720 Wisconsin avenue. CITY NEWS IN BRIEF. TODAY. Henry C.

STATEHELP ASKED NDAHONDPROBE Prosecutor Checks Records of Gangster in Attorney General’s Office. By the Assoc ted Press Y., December 23.—Al- alled for New York State its efforts to find the “Legs” Diamond, as of Jack to be listed definitely by police as attendants at the speakeasy party pre- | ceding Diamond's death. | District Attorney John T. Delan went to Attorney General Bennett's office at the Capitol, to draw upon Bennett’s knowledge of Diamond's | gangland connections as compiled dur- ing months of investigations in Greene County by Bennett and his aides. At the same time the Newark Eve- ning News revealed that Nelson F. Lyon of West Orange, N. J., had identified himself to the newspaper as the “mys- Mr. Lyon” who was in the v the night before Diamond was shot dead. Lyon said he was there discussing a busir transaction. A Greene County man said to have Tegistered at a local hotel the night before Diamond was murdered was re- ported ready to t with the investi- gators. He is Harry Coglianese, brother of a man with whom Diamond had a disagreement during his reign in Greene County. A pearl-handled revolver, picked up near the rooming house wherein Dia- mond was killed. was identified today as one stolen in New York several months ago. The gun probably was | one of two weapons used by the mur- | derers, according to ballastics experts, “LEGS” DIAMOND BURIED. Murdered Gangster's Body Put Away Without Benefit of Clergy. NEW YORK, December 23 (#).— Through most of his adult years Jack “Legs” Diamond lived outside the laws | of church and state, striving by blood- | shed, triy and braggadocio to be- |come a “big stot” in gangland. | Togx_v his puny body lay in unhal- | lowed ground—hastily shoved into & | shallow grave, deserted by all save his | relatives, a few family friends and the wife he had neglected. No overlords of gangdom stood around in the drizzling rain yesterday as his casket was hurrfedly lowered into the muddy ground in Mount Olivet Ceme- tery, in Queens. Around the grave stood a few curious | spectators, mostly women. There were {only two policemen there. To the last Diamond’s widow hoped that the church, whose laws he had consistently disregarded, might permit his burial in consecrated ground. Per- mission was withheld and so he was buried without benefit of clergy, in & non-sectarian cemetery. G e el T, Lawyer Sentenced in Slaying. ST. JOSEPH, Mich, December 23 (&) —Tor B.
