Jerome Hahn, chairman of the board, as sole arbiter, 3 The mill owners' representatives laid their_answer before the board secretly. At the conctusion of their presentation of the case, the strikers held a short secret conference with the board which was followed by a joint meeting before Judge Hahn. Both sides had flatly re- phones, schedules and kinds of broad- casting, and other measures for the pre- vention of interference between amateur. commercial and government stations. It was expected that the committees| would require ten days or longer to re- | port and that recommendations would be considered looking toward some legisla- tion by congress giving the department of commerce broad discretionary powers for th eregulation of ail sending and re- ceiving stations. Opinion of experts from the principal radio telephone manufacturers, publie service corporations handling communi- cations and amateur were found at the open sessions to be in accord regarding government regulation, but differences eral Electric company, the American Telephone and Telegraph company and the Radlo corporation of America, all disclaimed a hostile attitude, which zhé amateurs, Tepresented principally by the American Radio Relay league, declared existed.

J., on-behalf of amateurs, who stated that they were inadequate and caused most of the interference complained of. resuited in an executive meeting of the conference during the recess for lunch. When the open meeting was resumed I Chairman Stratton announced that “the atmosphers had been cleared” and that the manufacturers had assured him that they had no disposition to force the type complained of on the market, but that they could not now supply a differdnt type, but were hopeful of obtaining quantity production of different types in the near future. It often takes a good round sum to square a crooked transaction. | He Lindsay Refutes Claims of Women Nearly $1,000,000 by Fake Stock Speculations. New York, Feb, 28.—Alfred B. Lind- say, alleged swindler of socrety women, issued a statément.from his cell in Tombs prison today, denying that he had: fleeced the women out of nearly $1,000,000 by fake stock transactions, and paintinfg himself as a faithful to those who had lost through his specu- lations, “This statement was in sharp con- trast to one, issued earlier in the day by Assistant’ District Attorney Murphy, in which Mr. Murphy said Lindsay had broken down and sobbingly dictated a confession that many of the charges agalnst him were true, and that he and his wife had discussed suicide as a pos- sible way out of their difficulties. “All the women who advanced him money did so, Lindsay's statement de- clared, “with a full understanding that it was to be used for stock speculation and all knmew, he asserted, tnat their money had heen “lost honest Despite the fact tha the felt that he was under no oblization to them, he said, he has continually advanced them money unt!l the greater part of their losses has been restored to them, Supporting this contention, he gave out a sample “monthly pay roll’ on which the names of elght of his accu- sers appear’ as recipients of sums rang- ing from $100 to $300 and aggregating $1,675. Mrs. LI 1 he sald, althot’zh she knew nothing of tne merit of th® wo- men’s claims, was willing to turn over to a creditors’ committee the handsome Lindsay estate at South Nyack, which, with the murnishings, should bring near- ly $100.000. In addition, he said, he was willing to make good any differ- ence between the amount so realized d the unpaid balances' on sums the Women had advanced him, he could easily do if released to project he had under way. he declared.

After they had ad- journed until tomorrow, Chairman Ford- ney announnced that he had been “au- thorized to say that the committte has arrived at mo conclusion. “There is rothing to be given to the newspapers today,” he added. It was understood there was a gen- eral discussion of the whole qutstion of finances, acrimonious at times, and that at the finish the situation was just where it was before the speclal sub-committee tentatively agreed upon a speclal tax programme which subsequently was dis- approved by Pres Hardii Some committeemen were hopeful that there would be some kind of a comcluston tomorrow. It was sald that the possi- bilitles ineluded a postponement of the whole question for month in the bellef that the delay would serve to clear the atmosphers, but several members wers understood to look upon such a pro- gramme with disfavor. The discussion today was reported to have resolved largely around the pro- position to write into the bill some kind of a financing provision that would meet the president’s views at least half way. The sales tax suggested by the presi- dent and rejjected the ‘spectal sub committee last week by an overwhelming | vote, was not pressed particularly, it was said, and the fmpression went out that some members had in mind a spe- clal tax programme. Sales tax proponents were understood to be hopeful that this programme would be worked around to the sales tax; but leaders of the agricultural bloc will op- pose that. They take the position that the bonus can be financed out of pro- ceeds from the refunded British debt. As the republican committeemen were | assembling to resume consideration of the bonus, Hanford MacNider, national cammander of the American Legion, and John Thomas Tavlor, vice chalrman of the Leglon's legislative committee, dis- oussed_the bonus situation with Presi- BRIEF TELEGRAMS Stedman R.
