Failyre Explained. “The failure of the Corporation Se- curities Co. is easily understood,” the receivers reported, “when consideration is given to the last audit of the corpo- ration, prepared as of December 31, 1931, which disclosed holdings in the corporation portfolio of Insull Utility Investment stocks which are given a bo k value of $58,756.202 and stock of the Middle West Utility Co. which had a book value as of that date of $42,- 829,772." ‘This stock, carried on the date of the audit as having a book value of ap- proximately $100,000,000, had a tre- mendously depreciated market value three months later when the Insull utility empire tottered into receivership. ‘The Utility Investments stock has lately | been offered at 20 cents a share, while | stock in the Middle West has recently ranged from 25 to 50 cents a share. TRIMBLE TELLS OF STOCK. Clerk of House Relates How He Bought | 1,000 Shares. South Trimble, clerk of the House, | said last night he had bought 1,000 | shares of Insull Utilitles Investment, Inc., stock in 1929 at $12 a share, but| asserted the purchase was made “before the stock was ever listed at all.” “I've still got it—to my sorTow,” Trimble added, explaining that he per- sonally had 400 of the shares, had dis- posed of 200 shares to a friend and dis- tribited the remainder emong his children. A friend told me I could get some when it was first issued at $12 a chare, and I got mine before it was ever regis- tered,” said Trimble. He reiterated that at the time he bought the stock was not listed and so could not have been quoted at a figure higher than the price he paid. “I should have gotten out,” Trimble added, “but I stayed, like everybody else, until it was worthless.” Relating how he happened to buy the stock, Trimble said “a man told me who to write to.” Told the contract made public in Chicago listed his 1,000-share account as having been placed by Judge George A. Cooke of Chicago, Trimble said, “I have met Mr. Cooke and per- haps he was the man I asked about it.” M'CARL REJECTS USE OF FOREIGN SHIPS BY U.S. ARMS DELEGATES (Continued From First Page) general limitation and reduction of armaments. The State Department and the Navy Department, he continued, “have ap- plied themselves earnestly to a study of the methods by which this Government could contribute” to arms reduction, and added that officers of the two de- partments had been devoting them- selves for the last two months to this| study. He explained that to represent this Government the Fresident had appoint- ed Norman Davis as delegate and Rear Admiral Arthur J. Hepburn as adviser. Studies Not Finished. Explaining that the first meeting is October 3 and that it is “important” for this country to be represented then, he added, “but, unfortunately, it will not be possible to complete the tech- nical calculations and studies necessary for preparation of instructions to be given our representatives” and allow them to sail on an American vessel to get over on time. Under the circumstances, Mr. Stim- son said, “it is my considered opinion that the exigencies of the situation, the importance of our being represented at that meeting and the impossibility ol’ completing studies in preparation of this Government’s policy,” would justify the expenditure of funds to allow Davis, Admiral Hepburn, a clerk and another adviser, who is still to be named. to sall on the steamer Europa. which Jeaves New York on the morning of September 25. In his response, pointing out the law | which prescribes that a Government official or employe going abroad must | use an American vessel unless it can be established to the satisfaction of the controller general that this was impos- sible, and saying that this act was “well known to your department,” McCarl continued. “it was the administrative responsibility to arrange matters in mak- ing preparation and securing material for use at the conference that the offi- cers and employes assigned to attend might comply with the law with respect 1o the use of American vessels.” Cites Available Ships. He added that his office had already been advised that accommodations were available on the Leviathan, which sailed September 20, and as a matter of fact had been engaged but were canceled, and then added a Ust 5 ouer sailings.

BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. ‘The news of Russia’s decision to ap- | point consuls in Manchukuo and grant the usual exequator to Manchukuo con- suls who have been appointed to Rus- sia, is considered in official circles in Washington as a de facto recognition of that new state. Such a move on the part of the Soviet government has | caused no surprise in the State Depart- ment because it had been expected for | the last few weeks. | Of course, Mcscow maintains that the appointment of consuls does not mean necessarily recognition. The United States has a consul general in Harbin and consuls in other Manchukuo cities. Yet nobody can say that this | country is prepared to recognize the Manchukuo state. It is pointed out, | however, that the American consuls | have been in Manchuria long before the | Japanese invasion and the creation of Manchukuo. But the granting of an exequator to a citizen of a non- recognized nation, as Russia has done recently to Manchukuo officials cannot | be interpreted in any other way, but | as a de facto recognition. The sending | of dipomatic representatives is expected | to follow shortly. Fear Japanese Attack. The action of Russia, while deplored in certain official quarters, is quite un- derstandable. Russia has been living in a continual fear of a Japanese attack, especially during the last 10 months. Russia realizes that her relations with Japan are conflicting, and has found that the Russian and American interests in the Far East were parallel. Because of this similarity of interests, her repre- sentatives abroad have been urging the United States to adopt a common policy, but they maintained that in or- der to make such a policy effective it would be necessary for the United States to recognize the Soviet govern- ment. This request of the Russians has been systematically turned down by the Government of this country, because Russia was not willing to give the necessary guarantees regarding Com- munist propaganda in America; at least, she was not willing to go further on the question of guarantees that she had gone in with the other nations like France, Great Britain and QGermany The American Government demanded a disavowal of the activities of the MRS, BORAH SHOWS SIGNS OF RECOVERY | Temperature Decreases and Serum Sent From Here May Not Be Used. | | | By the Associated Press. BOISE, Idaho, September 23.—Pros- pects of the early recovery of Mrs. Wil- liam E. Borah, suffering from psittaco- sis or parrot fever, increased today as | her temperature decreased to normal and the congestion in her lungs abated. A bulletin issued at 10:25 am., by| Dr. Ralph Falk, said: “Mrs. Borah is still showing im-| provement. Her lungs are clearing. | Her temperature has reached normal. If her improvement continues, the con- sultants have agreed with me that it will not be necessary to use the con- valescent serum when it arrives to- night.” He added that her prospects of re- covery were good and increasing Parrot fever serum was dispatched to Boise last night via airmail by Surgeon General Hugh S.

By the Associated Press, ADAMS CENTER, N. Y., September 23.—A committee appointed at a meet- ing of dairymen who gathered here last night to consider the milk situation in New York City today had the assurance of Harold A. Wilder, manager of two plants of the United Milk Products in this area, that “matters will be satis- factorily adjusted.” R. B. McConnell, one of the commit- tee membe:s, said Wilder had told him & solution would be found. In a telegram to W. A. Barshee. pres- ident of the corporation. at Cleveland, Ohio, the committee last night served notice that if price strengthening ac- tion was not taken by tonight, no milk would flow into the company’s plants here. “You have 24 hours to co-operate with the producers,” the committee telegraphed. Stern Warning Given. The message named three Brooklyn concerns which the producers said had failed to “go along” in basic price increases recently put into effect by the dairymen's league. Failure “to in- crease prices within 24 hours means destruction of the entire price struc- ture in New York City,” the message said. In New York farmers scouted around last night to determine just how milk was being sold. while ~their leaders warned of a revolt that would disrupt the supply unless price cutting ceases. G. N. Allen, secretary of the Zuher- gency Committee of the New York milk” shed, warped that ‘“unpleasant action” might folicg upon the report of the farmer inves.lators. “The men are getthg desperate” he said. “Personally T &m not in sym- pathy with the methods that Western farmers have been using, but I don't know how long we can keep farmers in line if dealers continue to cut prices.” ,Get 2 Cents a Quart. Declaring farmers have been receiv- ing as low as 2 cents a quart for milk which costs them in the neighborhood of 5 cents a quart to produce, Allen said. “Hundreds of farmers are faced with bankruptcy. they can't pay taXes, can% meet notes, and a lot of them don't know how they are going to exist this Winter.” State Senator Perley A. Pitcher is chairman of a legislative committee in- vestigating the problem Allen said the New York milk shed, ! embracing the dairy regions of New York, part of Pennsylvania, part of New Jersey and part of Vermont, con- tains more than 1.3000,000 cows fur-, uishing milk to New York City.

The news of an agreement between Russia and Japan regarding the pur- chase of oil from Baku is not consid- ered serious: it is believed to be a mere smoke screen to cover other more im- portant operations. These are said to be the negotiations belween the Jap: nese government and the Russians re garding some further oil concessions on Saghalien Island and the permission to construct a pipe line from the north- eastern coast of that island to the port of Alexandrovsk, situated on the west coast of the Russian part f the island. 1f these negotiations are successful the American oil industry stands to lose about $20,000.000 a year. The Saghalien Island is divided in| two—-the northern part belongs to Rus- sia while the south is Japanese. The icland contains huge ofl felds. Since 1922 the Japanese have obtained con- cessions from the Russian government to drill on the east coast of the island | and have been very successful. Oil has The activity on the east coast of Saghalien can be compared with that in Oklahoma some 25 years ago. The Japanese have built on the east coast of the island two 6-inch pipe lines which lead to the sea, from where the | Japanese tankers take oil for the needs | of Japan. The oil fields have becn de- veloped to such &n’extent during the last few years that Japan expects to| extract no less than 12,000,000 barrels (about 2,000,000 tons) in 1933.

Later he said the statement about Davis seeing every line was “absolutely inaccurate.” Stewar], was taken back over an article irf the February issue of the magazine in which he had written that “after listening to reports and begging in vain for objections to the charity ball idea the director general instructed the propagation department to carry on the work.” This was supposed to have taken place at Mooseheart immediately after the drawing for prizes January 3, 1931 “Is that article correct?” Margiotti asked. Stewart twisted in his chair, hesitated, and said: “T wrote it.” . “Well, are the statemesits facts so far as you know?” . “No." Pressed further, Stewart said: “Well, I wasn't there.” Stewart also had written about the drawing, “the director general was im- pressed.

A Goes Back Over Letter. ‘Margiotti went back over a letter from Stewart to Davis, dated January 28, 1931, in which he spoke of it being “inexpedient” to go into certain phases of the charity ball “at this time.” Stewart said the word “inexpedient” referred to “dead news. “I kept away from the social side of the affairs,” he said. Taken over by Treadweil for redirect examination, Stewart was asked: “What was your other reason for not rinting all the rews of the charity all?"” “I didn't print anything about the awards,” he said, “because of my ex- petience with postal reguiations.” “You mean the prizes?” “Well, I thought it Dest to be ex- tremely careful,” he said, “to be secure and on the safe side.” Tried to Be Accurate.
