LOOTED OF LIQUOR Hijackers Get 25 Cases of | Rum at Hyattsville After ! Four Raids. | By a 5taff Correspondent of The Star. HYATTSVILLE, Md., February 22— A few hours after Prince Georges County police concluded four successful liquor raids Saturday night, hijackers { Who apparently believed in advertising, raided the storeroom in the Hyatts-| lle police substation and made off | with 25 cases of liquor. Apparently anxious that their raid fon the storeroom should be promptly | discovered, the hijackers left the |door to the foom ajar and four cases jof liquor on the window sill. Reach Room. Easily. An unlocked door on the second floor permitted the robbers to enter a room !facing the Police Court. From a bal- cony off this room, the thieves jumpgd to the floor of the Police Court. As the doors of the court can be opened from the inside, little difficulty was encoun- tered in passing through the judge’s private office and the double doors that lead to the liquor storeroom. Once inside, the hijackers passed the cases through a window to confederates on the outside. The window, unbarred, opens on an alley. The robbers did not bother to close it when they left. Aj large quantity of liquor in the store- | room was undisturbed The storeroom is directly across a corridor from the quarters occupied by the policemen on duty. Policeman Arthur Brown, who had been on duty since midnight, discovered the raid at 8 o'clock yesterday morn- ing when he unlocked the door to the police office. A check-up showed the loss of 25 cases. Police obtained finger prints of the Tobbers. Yesterday's raid was the second time an effort has been made to capture seized liquor. Shortly after the pres- ent county police force took office the lock on the store room at.Marlboro was’ broken, but no liquor taken. ! Four Persons Arrested. Four persons were arrested and three stills and a quantity of liquor seized in week end raids by police. August T. Hill of Colmar Manor was accused of | possession after police reported seizing 115 gallons of liquor and a dismantled | still'in a house on Gregory street. A still and quantity of liquor and mash were seized and a woman who gave her name as Mrs. Virginia Stack arrested in a raid last night on Walker Mill road. Mrs. Stack was charged with possession and released on bond by Justice of Peace Thomas D. Griffith. ‘The other still was seized near Poplar Hill, Aquasco district, and resulted in charges of manufacturing and posses- sion being placed against George ‘Adams, colored.

WALTON MOORE Speaks on Washington at Zion Episcopal of Fairfax in Bicen- tennial Service. | Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. | FAIRFAX, Va, February 22—R. Walton Moore, member of the Bicen- tennial Commission, yesterday spoke on “Washington, the Churchman,” and “Washington, the Servant of Human-: ity.” at the special birthday service held in Zion Episcopal Church in Fairfax. Fairfax was part of the old Truro| {parish of Washington's day. At that (time the church in this section of the parish was old Payne's Chapel, at Fair- fax Station, destroyed by fire during | the Civil War. Moore yesterday in his address spoke of the desire of the pres- lent vestry of Fairfax to replace the present church, built after the Civil War, when the country was in great poverty, with a new structure which will be a reproduction of the Payne's Chapel, where Washington worshiped in the days before Christ Church in Alexandria, or Palls Church, or Po- hick Church were built. He urged every one to contribute to this as a fitting Bicentennial memorial to George | Washington. [ROCKVILLE CHURCHES MARK BICENTENNIAL Maryland U.

By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. TUPPER MARLBORO, Md., February 22.—The second arrest in the Barney McBride murder case within a month was made at Petersburg, Va, vesterday, when police there jailed H. G. “Slim"” Jackson, 33 years old, at the request of the Prince Georges County authorities. Jackson is formally accused of the murder of McBride in a warrant ob- tained from Justice of the Peace John J. Fainter of Hyattsville by Deputy Sheriff Thomas H. Garrison. He is re- ported to have refused to return to Maryland, and the county authorities plan extradition proceedings, they an- nounced. Arrested in Pool Room. The prisoner was taken into custody in a pool room without resistance. About a month ago Sheriff W. Curtis Hopkins and Deputy Garrison arrested Temple Biggs of Camp Springs, M s an accessory to the murder. Statements given the sheriff by Mr. and Mrs. Willlam Pumphrey and Leo Hazel to the effect they frequently heard Biggs discuss the McBride murder led to the man's arrest. Biggs is quoted in these statements as saying he saw Mc- Bride stabbed in a Prince Georges County gambling house by a man named Jackson and helped haul the body away. Biggs has been ordered held for the ac- tion of the grand jury. Truck Remains Found.

HYATTSVILLE, Md, February 22 (Special). — R- “.se of conflicting events incidei .o the Bicentennial, the February meeting of District No. 7, Girl Scouts, embracing troops in upper Prince Georges County and nearby sec- tions, scheduled tomorrow night, has been postponed until Thursday night l.iz 7:30 o'clock in American Legion Everybody’s Business Federal Program to Relieve ‘Economic Situation Held Just Begun, With Anti- Law Revision Expected. BY DR. MAX WINKLER. Washington's program to relieve the present economic difficulties with which the Nation is confronted, is by no means over. It has just begun, in the opinion of competent observers. A number of highly constructive mieasures have since been pr , and before the effects of one are over, new projects are announced. These have followed one another in rather rapid succession recently. The Na- tional Credit Association, the Recon- struction Finance Corporation, the Glass-Steagall bill, the anti-hoarding campaign, and the curbing of short selling are among the measures pro- posed which are designed to end, or least alleviate, to a very material e tent, the existing crisis. ‘What is Washington going to do next? Some believe that drastic changes in the anti-trust laws are im. pending. Others believe that some an- nouncement relative to prohibition may be next on the agenda. No one knows definitely, but all are agreed that the administration is determined to hasten the return of prosperity, or at least of what is generally regarded asnormality. If, as is generally believed, resump- tion of buying will facilitate a return of better days, corporations should set an example. It seems, however, that each one expects his neighbor to do the | spending, reserving for himself the preaching. In passing or reducing dividends, en- terprises remind their stockholders that it is to their interests as well as to that of the company in question to conserve cash at this time. Occasional- ly they add that the cash position is excellent. Why the corporations should be desirous of conserving cash, exhort- ing the public at the same time to buy and bring back prosperity, is difficult to explain. Buying rates in the New York mar- ket for cable transfers payable in for- elgn currencies reveals that the dollar has undergone a slight shrinkage in centers where the gold standard is still being adhered to. In Switzerland the dollar is worth only 98.85 cents. This is due to the pronounced increase in the stock of gold of the National Bank, owing, it would seem, to the flight of capital from Central European countries. Swit- zerland does not welcome this condi- tion because she cannot find suitable employment for funds. Banks do not care to accept deposits, with the result that depositors offer a premium for having their funds accepted. In Amsterdam the dollar is worth 99.34¢ cents, in Brussels 99.78 and in Paris 99.32 cents. Records continue to be established in international commerce. One of the reasons for the existence of this situa- tion is the erection of tariff walls which impede greatly the free exchange of_goods. Last month’s trade, as reported by the United States, is the lowest since the war and shows a decline of more than one-third from the January, 1931, figures. German foreign trade in Jan- uary reached the lowest point in more ! than a generation, while France's com- merce iast month was the lowest since the stabilization of the country’s cur- rency. One hears a good deal these days: about defaults on the part of foreign | governments and political subdivisions. | Holders of defaulted bonds criticise ve- | hemently bankers and all those who are responsible for the sale of such securi- ties in the American market. The beam in their own eyes, many investors con- veniently ignore. Scores of American cities have defaulted on their outstand- ing indebtedness and yet no investiga- tions are to be ordered. Although holdings by Beigian na- tionals or Chilean bonds in complete default are relatively small, the in- vestor is nevertheless being looked afte:. A Protective Committee has just becn organized, under the auspices of the Belgian Council of Foreign Bondhold- ers (Association Belge la Defense des Detenteurs de Fonds Publics) at Ant- werp. The committee is headed by F. van Roy and includes B. Russeaux, F. van Nuland and M. Walckiers. Perhaps American holders of de- faulted Chileans can obtain protection from a foreign council, being deprived of the aid which would accrue to them from an American council of foreign bondholders, yet to be formed. France is beginning to have her trou- bles. Industry and commerce are feel- ing the depression keenly. In order to relieve the pressure, the government has decided to intervene. To this end the government has organ- izd the National Credit Corporation (Credit National), which will advance loans and credits to medium sized financial institutions. Funds for this purpose will be de- rived from the sale of a 200,000,000~ franc issue bearing interest at 5 per cent per annum. Bonds, priced at 9%, are tax exempt and enjoy the benefit of & governmental guarantee. (Copyright. 1932, by the North American Newspaper Alliance, Inc.) DIES AT SON'S HOME Mrs. Annie S.

NEW YORK, February 22 (N.AN.A.). Fundamentals governing prices for se- curities are showing slight improve. ment. In the last analysis this is the dominating factor in the rise and fall of the stock market. Important interests report an in- creasé in industrial activity in a num- ber of directions, and statements to this effect are to be had from small units of industry as well. The week end trade reviews were also more op- timistic with regard to the future. Some of the public utility companies state that there are distinct signs of greater industrial activity in a number {of the large municipalities that they serve. Confidence Is Improved. Confidence has shown marked im- provement by reason of the Govern- ment's credit relief program. The ac- tual signing of the Glass-Steagall bill by President Hoover this week is ex- pected to stimulate this confidence. ‘The reaction in the stock market last week was due to profit-taking and in- creased short selling after the flare-up in quotations which followed the an- nouncement by the Stock Exchange of further restrictions on short selling. Those who watch closely the sources of buying and selling stated that the buying was better than the sclling and therefore believe that the latest set- back is simply a reaction in & major upward trend. Faces Temporary Reactions. While the market is believed to be in an upward trend, nevertheless it will be subjected to temporary reactions growing out of unfavorable changes in dividends and poor statements of earn- ings. However, many big corporations have adopted drastic policies of economy, se that even if they do only the same amount of business as last year, their profits are expected to be larger. Despite optimistic reports relative to general business, the outlook for tires is unfavorable. Although profits in that branch of the rubber industry have declined to the vanishing point, it is now learned that another cut in the prices of tires will be announced shortly, Cut to Be 10 Per Cent. The reduction is expected to be 10 per cent, to be announced first by the Firestone interests. The cut grows out of the mail order houses’ solicitation of big national users of tires. This reduction, when the Spring de- mand is about to make itself felt, is considered deplorable, and undoubtedly will have an unfavroable effect on rub- ber company securities. The general public has participated only to a slight extent in the recent sharp advance in the general market ‘There are signs, however, of a revival of interest on its part. This is furnished by the increase of $13,000,000 reported in brokers' loans, the first expansion in 23 weeks. Important interests state that a necessary factor for a continuance of the upward movement in stocks is an increased demand from the public. It is believed that such a development will occur if the market continues firm. (Copyright. 1932. by the Nprth Ameriean Newspaper Alliance.
