WILL PROBE FINANCE METHODS OF BANK HIGH UPS Station Will Make No Difference to Government, Lawrence Predicts ROOSEVELT BACKS MOVE Action of Nature Always Follows Depression Billions Thought Mishandled By DAVID LAWRENCE from (Special to the Daily Argus-Leader the Consolidated Press Association.

Copyright, 1933). Washington, March -The government is on the war path against the financial world. Investment banking and commercial banking having dealt in billions of dollars of the funds of the people and much of the same having been lost through a combination of bad judgment, irresponsibility and betrayal of trust, the Roosevelt administration is feeling the impact of an intense indignation. So the safety valve of prosecution of the offenders whether they come from high places or low has begun to function. Naturally Chicago and New York financial districts are apprehensive for every day comes rumors of this or that celebrity or noted institution which is to have its affairs pried into and indictments sought of individuals irrespective of their station.

To Spare No One This development is not uncharacteristic of what has happened after other depressions in the past. Feeling always runs high in periods of deflation. Mr. Roosevelt has issued orders that nobody be spared if he is guilty, The argument that investigations and prosecutions will hurt financial institutions and prevent a return of confidence is brought here by visitors and given some weight but the answer usually made is that confidence will return sooner when the public knows there has been a cleaning. If for example the financial world took the initiative and puts its own house in order, there would be less ground for the general attack that is about to be made on the methods of handling public funds both in the sale of securities or the investment of bank deposits.

But even this would probably not attain immunity for individuals guilty of malfeasance. It would on the other hand accelerate a return to confidence and tend to reduce the ill-effects of such investigations as must necessarily be pursued in the public interest. Rumors Flying Mr. Roosevelt is taking a deep personal interest in the prosecutions. Undoubtedly the attorney general, Homer Cummings, who by the way, has been a prosecuting attorney in Connecticut for eight years, will call to his aid an array of a special counsel familiar with the intricacies of banking and finance so as to ferret out the malpractitioners.

It is said the attorney general himself may carry on some of the prosecutions. Meanwhile as is inevitable under such circumstances, the rumor factory is working overtime and names that probably have not the slightest connection with law violation are bandied about in the general wave of accusations being directed at those who conduct big operations in the financial world. What the administration hopes to do is run down wrong doing in high places and make an example of those who have deliberately misused the funds of the public. It is doubtful whether the era of prosecution will continue after such steps have been taken and business is on the road back to normalcy, These wars on finance come and go in waves. The Pujo investigating committee started a similar cycle when the democrats were in power in 1912 but it would not.

be surprising if the senate inquiry, however, and the activities of the department of justice this time were far more inclusive in scope and penetrating in its search for those who have violated the law.

24, 1933. Today Quick Action Days. A Day of Prayer. The Robin's Reflection. Canned Blood for Sale.

-By Arthur Brisbane Copyright, 1933; King Features Syndicate, inc. Under President Roosevelt come days of "quick action." The beer bill is a beer law now, everything signed, and ready, including internal revenue stamps and new beer glasses. Fourteen million dollars worth of new buildings, for brewers, are now under way in New York City alone. You may drink all the beer that is good for you not later than April 7, and you may get it, properly made, for five cents a glass in all but the dry states, President Roosevelt's farm relief measure passed the house of representatives by a big margin and now goes to the senate. Meanwhile, President Roosevelt is rushing his bill for relief of the idle.

He asks congress and labor groups to discuss it with him. The suggestion that 250,000 men be employed in national forests is objected to by Chairman Connery of the house labor committee because the suggested pay, $1 a day, is too low a wage scale for unskilled labor. Such low pay would be inadequate. But if the government would fed the men, as it feeds soldiers, extremely well, for about thirty cents a day, letting the men send all their earnings to their famflies, it would better than ing. Attacks on Jews continue in Germany, according to news dispatches and private information.

A photograph taken in Munich shows a Jewish resident, walking with bare head and bare feet through the streets, accompanied by policemen and carrying a sign reading: "I shall never again complain to the He had reported that Hitler troops had beaten him. Following his compulsory walk through the streets, he was ejected from the city, Jews complain that prominent Jews have, been abducted by Nazi troopers, their bodies found later riddled with bullets. Wilhelm Spieger, a Jewish lawyer, candidate at the municipal elections, is said to have been shot down in cold blood, while Alfred Apfel, another lawyer, president of the Zionist organization in Berlin, arrested after the burning of the reichstag building, was tortured to death. In addition, all Jewish members are dropped from the German civil service, and all Jewish employes from hospitals, health institutions and other public departments. Three orthodox Rabbinical ass0ciations of America proclaim next Monday "a day of fasting in protest against the persecutions of the Jews in Germany." The solemn fast will call attention to conditions, as will the mass meeting to be held afterward, but cannot be expected to produce much in the way of results across the ocean.

Something more energetic. and nearer to Berlin, is called for. To turn your mind from sad thoughts, consider a small robin. resident of Kansas City, Mo. He returned from somewhere 15 days ago and saw his reflection, very distinct, in.

an office window. First, he decided to be friendly, then became indignant. Every day for 15 days he has fought that shadow robin, savagely. He beat his wings, and beak against the glass, is apparently not seriously injured. His courage is undiminished.

and he feels that he is making headway. A nation of 123 millions that has been fighting a deep depression in much the same fashion for more than three years need not criticise that robin.

Blood transfusion is one of the most valuable forces of modern medical science, the only hope in certain cases of poisoning by streptococci and other infections.

CHICAGO STEVENS FAMILY MEMBER KILLS HIMSELF Son Commits Suicide as His Father Is Reported Near Death After Stroke BUILT GREAT HOTELS Both Men Later Indicted for Taking Funds From Their Insurance Firm Chicago, March Closing acts 1 in the drama of the fall of once powerful Stevens family were being enacted today as Raymond W. Stevens, 59, lay, dead from what police said was a selfinflicted bullet wound while his 80- year-old father was believed to be on his death bed following a stroke of apoplexy. Both had been indicted some time ago with another son and brother, Ernest J. Stevens, on charges of embezzlement in connection with the failure of the $150.000.000 Illinois Life Insurance company of which they were former officials.

Is Found Wounded The death of Raymond occurred yesterday afternoon in the sun room of his brick colonial mansion in suburban Highland Park. As told to police by a son, Raymond, a shot was heard as he and his mother and his sister, Mrs. Webster Neeland Stafford, were leaving the house. Rushing back he said they found his father unconscious in an easy chair. There was a bullet wound in his head behind the right ear.

On the floor lay a .38 calibre revolver and on a nearby table was an encyclopedia open at a chapter on birds. That was all--no notes--no last word. Stevens died than an hour later on the operating table of a hospital. He did not regain consciousness. Had Been Morose However, the son told police his father had been morose of late due to worries of the indictment hanging over him and the critical illness of his father.

News of his son's death was kept from the sick room of the elder man, James W. Stevens. The rise of the Stevens family began 40 years ago, at the time of the last world's fair a few years after they had come to Chicago from Colchester, Ill. They sprang from small merchants to control of the Illinois Life Insurance company and two of Chicago's largest hotels, the La Salle and the Stevens. MURDER MARKS RUM FLEET WAR Alexander Lillien, Called Master Liquor Runner, Shot Down in Eastern Home Middletown Township, N.

March gigantic and murderous struggle for control of a rum fleet was seen today as an explanation for the slaying last night of Alexander (Al) Lillien, called a master liquor -runner. Sudden death by bullets came to Lillien in his hilltop mansion, a stronghold from which he could peer out over Sandy Hook where rum vessels ply. A mysterious telephone call to township police sent them dashing up the highlands to the house, once the home of Oscar Hammerstein, front impresario. On the floor in the big hallway, they found Lillien sprawled, three holes through his skull. No one else was in the great house.

Detectives reasoned that the killers swept up to the front door in an automobile, rang the bell and shot Lillien dead when he answered it. Bullets that came from a .32 calibre pistol were their only clue. They between sought Lillien's to find the connection sudden end and the killing of Charles "King" Solomon, Boston racket leader known as a partner of Lillien's. Solomon, a overlord night club owner and reputed of vice and liquor rings, fell before gunmen in a Boston night club just two months ago last night. Police said another whose name they did not recall, partner, was slain in Baltimore last week.

Name Street, City State Bernard Shaw Here Says Plenty About United States Explains Election Roosevelt's Baby Got Him Elected, Shavian Explains to Newspapermen NO BABY? PARDON HIM Somebody's Baby Got Roosevelt Elected- -Technocracy Merely Old Stuff By LOUIS ASHLOCK San Francisco, March (P) George Bernard Shaw, the 77-yearold British playwright, arrived on the American mainland today for the first time with the abrupt pronouncement that he "knew more of America than its inhabitants." He told a mass of interviewers and cameramen that Americans elected their public officials "because the candidates had their pictures taken with a baby in their During a discussion of the Tom Mooney case (Mooney was convicted of participation in the preparedness day parade bombing at San Francisco in 1916) Shaw stated Americans "were romanticists in their treatment of the whole criminal system." About Prisoners "You Americans can get romantic about 20 to 30 years in prison," he said, "but to a man in prison six months is terrible. I hesitate to express an opinion regarding Mooney. Generally I would say to bury a man alive in a vault for 17 years is extremely foolish.

I am a foreigner and as such would not criticise your courts or police. But if Mooney is not fit to live, have the courage to shoot him, It would be a great relief to me if the governor of your state would pardon Mooney.

"But have you found any happy living people?" "I haven't visited all the countries "I don't know how Hitler will turn out," he answered a questioner. "The whole German people are in a state of suspense and chaos. They are trying out Hitler like you are trying out Mr.

Roosevelt. In four years I will be able to tell you about them." Sparring with a questioner, Shaw declared "we couldn't get anywhere without a dictator. "No one responsible, otherwise. Don't fear a dictator. Make him responsible and fix it so you can get rid of him if he goes wrong." Shaw accused the American people of giving no thought to the qualifications of their officials.

Roosevelt's Baby "Why." he said, "it was Roosevelt's baby that got him elected." "But Roosevelt had no baby," an interviewer said. "Well, that's serious, then whose baby was it that Roosevelt was photographed with?" Other Shavianisms: "Lenin was the greatest man since George "If women and the working class won't save us nothing will. The proletariat is the only card we have left." "Six or seven civilizations have progressed to our plane and then collapsed to the grass. Man as a political animal is not capable of solving problems created by himself."

"It is unsound in economics and violative of the constitution of the United States," he said, and added that the proposed bill would "destroy the free grain market of the United States, which is absolutely essential to decent prices." He said the present farm bill is "even worse" than the "one creating the farm board.
