Cross said the bill would not limit the amount of silver the Treasury could purchase because tnere was in the world only about $11.000.000 of silver that could be corned or used for money. What would be the effect on price of silver if we were to pass this bill end announce to the world that we would buy all the silver that is asked Representative Kemp La "Wouldn't we -get all the silver in the world?" "I don't think so," Crass replied. "Other nations now use much more silver than we do and there is no reason to expect that they would stop using it Just because it Increased in value." Representative Dies Tex.) interposed that France recently had adopted a plan that would call for an increased use of silver. The two Alabama Bankheads in Congress Senator and Representative told the committee that their advocacy of the silver bill they drew Jointly "was based on the belief that there Is not enough legalized money in the world for business to function satisfactorily." Representative Bankhead said he thought the rcmonetization of silver would prove beneficial so far as American trade relations with China are concerned, because under the present exchange ratio China's purchases cost her "four and a half times our purchase price."

Their first trial ended In a disagreement. The second, Nov. 30 last ended In a mistrial when the prosecution inferentlally informed the jury of the brothers criminal record. The brothers are charged with the brutal attack on Edward Valentine, a second hand automobile dearel in his apartment, at 1030 Park Place, on July 30, last, when he was beaten, tortured and finally forced to open a small wall safe. After knocking their victim unconscious thj four robbers, two of whom are alleged to have been the Maloncs, escaped with $450.

Happy has a record of 23 arrests In the last eight years, but the longest term he ever served was 15 months. These charges include suspicion of homicide, felonious assault, robbery and dope peddling. Louis' police ercord is not as long as that of his brother, he having been arrested but seven times and never convicted. As at the two other trials, the Maiones are being represented by Samuel Leibowitz.

Washington, Feb. 1 A Senate Judiciary subcommittee today moved with unusual dispatch to bring about the revision of bankruptcy laws to enable debtors to shed their liabilities more easily. There was a strong prospect as the committee started the consideration of the bill, which passed the House on Monday, that the measures would be reported to the full Judiciary Committee by next Monday and placed on the Senate calendar by the end of the week.

Calder Optimistic Former Senator Wlllia'm M. Calder of Brooklyn was In Washington today to Inquire about the passage of the bill and to get first-hand information on Its provisions. After talking with a number of Senators, he was convinced that the measure would be passed at the present session. Hastings o'oublful However, a pessimistic prospect for enactment of bankruptcy revision legislation this session was seen today by Senator Hastings chairman of a subcommittee working on it, after the legislative committee of the Interstate Commerce Commission had crltlclwd its application to railroads. The 1.

C. C. committee disapproved strongly of Hastings' own bill for the purpose. Hastings said there was great pressure being brought to bear for passage of such a bill but there was little chance of getting the tw- Houses together if lawyers could not agree on details. The House bill would extend )e-lief to individuals, corporations, drainage and other Improvement districts and railroads.

Assembly Vole Aids Dunnigan -FatV fttraii. Cipllol BuMrilnc Albany, Feb. 1 By a vote of 110 to 3. the Assembly today passed the Fenron bill stripping the antl- Roosevelt Democrats of the power to nana out. senate jnos.

Governor Lehman, who with National Chairman Farley and Secretary of State Flynn is one of the most influential supporters of the Presid' nt-elect, Is expected to sign the bill. The measure amends the legis lative law to take the patronage dis pensing power from Senate Clerk Patrick H. O'Connell and gives it to Majority Leader John J. Dunning- gan, of the Bronx. The only dissenters in the Assembly were the three Democrats from Al bany County, expressing their lovalty to the leadership of the O'Connell brothers.

The shift from the O'Connells to the Roosevelt Ittrroup was made possible by the switch of John H. McCooey and John F. Curry. The bill passed the Senate yesterday with only the dissenting vote of Senator William T. Byrne of Albany Plan Added Features For Week for Mind Plans for enlarging the program for the Brooklyn Week for the Blind, to be held in the grand ball- room of the St.

Capitol RnlMinf. Albany. Feb. 1 In a surprise move, the DcmoerRts todav acted to extend for one month the life of the Hofstadter Committee which would have expired today.

The A.sscmbly adopted a reolu tion extending the committee tfi March 1, and it went to the Senat where it, was also adopted. The purpose of the extension Is to permit the minority members to prepare their report on the actlvt ties of the committee that, for twd years, has been investigating Tarn many rule of New York City. Firt Planned No Report Senator John J. Dunnigan and. Assemblyman Irwin Steingut, the; Democratic leaders, at first derided they would make no report, simply explaining on the floor of both houses they did not propose to add to the political confusion surround lng charter reform.

However, after another ronferenc this afternoon, they came to ths conclusion some report should b) made and asked the Republican! to co-operate on the extension of lime. By the middle of the month. th Board of Estimate plan for Muni rlpal reform will have been sent to the Legislature and the Democrats are likely to make that the basis of their minority findings. The original decision not to mak a report was believed to hava been the result of a desire not to antagonize former Governor Smith and Aldermanir President MrKee who recommended drastic charter chan- )n their appearances before th Hofstadter Committee. Refuses to Indict In Test of Alleged Election Frauds Further attempts to proseeut S.ooo election Inspectors for failure to return the ballot, containing the wrltten-ln vote for Joseph McKee for Mayor last November were doubtful today, following th refusal of the New York County grand Jury yesterday to return ln dictments In the first test case.

Seitz Exonerated Of Misconduct In Divorce Suit Arthur A.

Seitz of Hempstead, assistant purchasing agent for a Garden City publishing house, was exonerated today of a charge of misconduct by a Jury verdict in Brooklyn Supreme Court. The divorce action in which SelU was named as defendant and Mrs. Zelda Kl-dredge, a fashion model of Ken-more, N. as co-respondent, was tried yesterday before Justice George H. Furman.

Henry Horner that "there Is anarchy In our midst." W. A. Doss of Monticello, who yesterday got bids for only $4.90 at a $2,500 farm equipment mortgage sale, today started out to seize the mortgaged property. Washington, Feb. 1 C4 Receivers of national banks have been instructed by the Controller of the Currency to pursue a liberal policy in regard to farm mortgages.

Officials said today it was their attitude not to foreclose on any mortgs ges held by suspended banks where the owner of the property co-operated by remaining on the farm and endeavoring to keep It up. Organization of a central mortgage bank through which title and mortgage companies could rediscount mortgages when necessary loomed today as the most plausible suggestion yet made to enable title companies to meet maturing obligations. It was learned that title company executives and others vitally concerned In the present mortgage emergency met again in private today to discuss what possible measures may be taken to meet anticipated needs. Capital of $15,000,000 This central bank, if created, may be capitalized by commercial banks for $15,000,000. It is also understood it would be to this central agency that the Reconstruction Finance Corporation would be prepared to make advances up to approximately 10 times Its capital, or about $150,000,000.

Just how the mortgage bank will be set up, how it will work or what Its real purpose will be remains much of a mystery. It is generally known, however, that Mortimer N. Buckner, chairman of New York Trust, is taking an active part in Its organization. Primarily because they hold about 40 percent of all the guaranteed mortgage certificates outstanding in New York City, the big savings banks are understood 'o have been approached by title companies to facilitate in the making of plans vto offset the emergency, i Consensus among savings banks (is that they are ready and willing to co-operate. They are not in-'cllned, however, to be forced into any sweeping compromise.

Most of their mortgages, they claim, are on small home dwellings. Payments are being made regularly on a large majority of these, it is said, and no difficulties are being encountered. Vast Farm Mortgages Farm mortgages held by life insurance companies at the end of 1932 amounted to almost according to estimates by the Association of Life Insurance Presidents. Leadership in the movement to extend foreclosure leniency, originally limited to Iowa, to the entire country and CanRda was taken by the Prudential Life Insurance Company. The initiative in Iowa suspension was taken by the New York Life Insurance Company.

The Equitable Life Assurance Society today stated its policy as follows: "As to mortgages on farm properties, wherever situated, it is the society's policy to deal with specific cases and not to apply a general rule of leniency, but to extend relief to only such borrowers as apply and, upon investigation, are found to need It." 1931 Totals The largest totals of farm mortgages were held by the following companies at the end of 1931: Cnmpanv.

The Iowa plan which now goes to the State Senate would require mortgage holders to patronize notary publics for affidavits before beginning the foreclosure actions and would allow district courts the benefit of the findings of county arbitration boards prior to the Judge's decision. Study Centralization Washington, Feb. 1 (4An intensive study of the possibilities of reorganizing the centralizing Federal agencies dealing with agriculture was begun today by national farm organizations at the invitation of adviseYs of President-elect Roosevelt, who already have a survey under way.

It is the first step toward carrying out a pledge made by Mr. Roosevelt in his Topeka address, In which he outlined his six-point program for agriculture.
