POLICE INDICTED | IN DEATH PROBE Nassau County Officers Charged by Grand Jury With Killing Prisoner. By the Associated Press. MINEOLA, N. Y, July 23.—Sealed indictments have been returned in the case of 13 Nassau County policemen, who were held to the grand jury on charges ranging from second degree murder to conspiracy to obstruct just- ice as the result of the death of Hy- man Stark, robber suspect, after a third degree examination. It was understood the indictments, handed up last night, followed the findings of Supreme Court Justice Steinbrink, who conducted a John Doe inquiry into the death of Stark. Just- ice Steinbrink ordered four of the police officers held for second degree murder, issued a warrant for one as an accessory, and charged seven others with second degree assault. These 12, with one other were charged with con- spiracy to obstruct justice. ‘The accused men are at liberty under bond. The grand jury will reconvene Tues- to consider the cases of Isse Stein, Alexander Drangel and Phillip Cacala, who were arrested with Stark on sus- picion of having beaten and robbed Mrs. Valeria Hizenski, mother of De- tective Joseph Hizenski, one of those charged by Justice Stcinbrink with as- sault. The three prisoners testified before the grand jury to beatings at the hands of the police. PRESIDENT GOES T0 RAPIDAN TODAY May Remain Away From White House Until Tuesday, if Duties Permit. OTTAWA.

Premier Bennett in his opening address Thursday stressed what he termed the unfairness of state competition. Liverpool never has taken as much Canadian wheat as the producers be- lieved she thould and prospects of get- ting Russia's share of the British mar- ket is alluring to the Canadians. Empire preference in the matter of wheat is a sore sport among Argentine sympathizers here. Unlike Canada, which has large storage facilities, Ar- gentina has to ship wheat as fast as it is harvested and British markets have been depended on for years to absorb it. Shipping Concerns U. S. In still anqfher direction, the ship- ping question, Argentina is manifesting considerable concern, as is the United States. Improvement in British mari- time enterprises is one of the big fea- tures of the conference. Most Argen- tine produce is transported in British vessels, and Argentines do not see how they can be discriminated against with- out reaction from British ship owners. To head off possible disturbance from Argentina, trade representatives of that government made overtures to London | several months ago looking toward a trade agreement, but were told to wait until after the Ottawa conference. The impression was that if & good bargain could not be concluded with the domin- fons, Great Britain might negotiate for Argentine reciprocity. American shippers are disturbed over prospects of empire nations charging an extra tariff on goods not carried in British vessels.

When he entered the hospital his physicians described his condition as “serious, but not critical.” “Mr, Ziegfeld had seemed to be much improved,” said Dr. Mareus Radwin after the producer's death. “We looked for him to gain a complete recovery and did not expect the heart attack, al- though he has suffered from hear: trou- ble for many years.” The death of Ziegfeld ended his plan to bring his Follies to Los Angeles dur- ing the Olympic games.

He wanted a general overhaul of banking laws; the Glass bill pending in the Senate is drawn to accomplish that purpose He sought authority to consolidate governmental activities; limited power to do that was granted in the economy bill The text of the President's statement gning the home loan bill follows: T have today signed the home loan bank bill. This institution has been created on the general lines advocated by me in a statement to the press on November 13 last. It is the outccme of | the national conference on home owner- ship, which represented every part of the country. Its purpcse is to estab- lish a series of discount banks for heme mortgages, performing a function for home owners somewhat similar to that performed in the commercial field by the Federal Reserve Banks through their disccunt facilities. Have Triple Security. “There are to be 8 to 12 such banks established in different parts of the| country with a total capital of $125.- 000,000 to be initially subscribed by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. Building and loan associaticns, savings banks, insurance companies, etc., are to be eligible for membership in this system. Member institutions are re-| quired to subscribe for stock of the! home loan banks and to absorb gradu- ally the capital and they may b:rrow from the banks upon their notes to be secured by the collateral of sound home | mortgages. “The home loan banks are in turn to | obtain the resources required by them | through the issue of debentures and | notes. These notes have back of them the obligation of the members, the! mortgages pledged as securities of such obligations and the capital of the home | loan bank themselves. The debentures and notes thus have a triple security. “The creation of these institutions | does not involve the Government in business except in the initial work of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, and the setting up of the board in Washington to determine standards of practice. The cost of this board in Washington is to be paid by the home loan banks and the banks are to be owned and run by their members. In effect, it is using the good offices of the Government and the Reconstruction Finance Corporation to set up co-oper- ative action among these member in- stitutions to mobilize their credit and resources. There are several thousand | institutions eligible for membership. “The purpose of the system is both to meet the present emergency and to ! build up home ownership on more fa- | vorable terms than exist today. The immediate credit sstuation has for the | time being in many parts of the coun- try restricted the activities of build- ing and loan associations, savings banks and other institutions making loans for home purposes, in such fashion that they ere not only unable to extend | credit for the acquirement of new <homes, but in thousands of instances they have been unable to renew exist- ing mortgages with resultant fore- | closures and great hardships. “A considerable part of our unem- ployment is due to stagnation in resi- dential construction. There has been overbuilding _in certain localities in boom years, but there has been far less than normal construction of new homes for three years in pace with the increase of population and there is thus a short- age which, while now obscured by pres- ent huddling. will become evident with the first stage of Tecovery. Nearly 200,- 000 new homes are erected annually in normal times which with initfal fur- nishing contribute $2.000,000.000 to con- struction and other industries. A sur- vey by the Department of Commerce shows that there are localities in which there is today an immediate demand for homes amounting from $300,000,000 %o $300.000.000 which could be under- taken at once if financing were avail- mble. Thus the institution should serve to immediately increase employment, “In the long view, we need at all times to encourage ownership and for such encouragement it must be possible for home owners to obtain long_term | loans payable in installments.

Hiam, assistant to the presi- dent of the Cenadian National Railways. with headquarters in Vancouver, has resigned, it was announced today. Commissioner Reichelderfer called the “unwelcome visitors.” Gen. Crosby said the reason fcr the refusal to publish Glassford's report was that it contained references to the possibility of riot and bloodshed if the ! first order was attempted to be enf-rced | and he did not want such references to be published. Commissioner Luther H. Reichel- derfer, president of the board, said that the Commissioners had been very lenient with the bonus marchers up to_this time, but that he considered it the Com- missicners’ duty to order the evacuation for the protection of property. He said the Commissioners have not abated in their determination to oust the march- ers, but that they are withholding their order for the present until they have an cpportunity to study all of the legal pects of the ouster. He said that he still thinks the ouster can be accom- plished without grave trouble. Using Water Without Charge. Maj. John C. Gotwals, the Engineer Commissioner, said that he wanted to leave the thought with the press that these marchers were using city water, paid for in most cases by tax and rate payers poorer than the bonus marchers | themselves | “He was asked if the Commissioners had considered that placing a large number of men in jail for violation of ouster orders might not prove even more costly to the taxpayers in the long run, but said that he had not | come to that thought yet.

Background of “Bad Blood.” ‘The conference reflects a background | of “bad blood."” observers say, which | resulted from attempts by United States | lines to freeze the British Cunard Line out of Summer competition in the Caribbean by means of the “fighting ship” and “voyages to nowhere” bills in Congress. Under the “fighting ship” bill foreign | ships capable of being converted into | armed vessels would have been expelled from purely American trade lanes and by the “voyages to nowhere” bill they | would havel been kept from entering the short-cruise business between At- lantic and Caribbean ports. The question of empire monetary adjustment bobbed up unofficially in | conference circles yesterday, but so far | as Canada is concerned it was said the Government wants neither to raise nor lower the Canadian dollar’s present relation with the American dollar or the English pound. If, some argued. the Canadian dollar | were further lowered in value to parity | with the pound it would facilitate pur- cnases of imports from Great Britain. | That would not be so good from the American viewpoint, experts said, since it would reduce the value of the enor- | mous amount of Canadian securities | held in the United States.
