Here are some pointed paragraphs from President Hoover's address: I do not underrate the distressing losses to millions of our people or the weakening of our strength from the mania of speculation and flotation of securities, but I may incidentally remark that the state governments have the primary responsibility to protect their citizens i in these matters, and that the vast majority of such transactions originated or took place in the state of i New York. 1 percent of the goods being imported by the world.

The word is used here as defined by the late speaker, Tom Reed.

When asked to explain the difference between a statesman and a politician, Reed replied: politician is a statesman out of a job." Under this designation, both Smith and Walker are now merhly politicians, but the present election is remarkable for the many earnest and acrimonious discussions regarding how and wnen these two eminent politicians again will become ststesmen. Of the two lights of Tammany hall, the former governor, is believed to have the better chance of returning to statesmanship first. His friends never tire of conjuring up new honors for him. Regard mg the coming elections as mere incidents in the city's history, his most enthusiastic followers in the organization hope he will become the successor of Boss Curry and restore the glory of Tammany, Others want him drafted as the nominee for mayor next year to head off a probable fusion movement that might rTest the control of the city from the organization. These friends of the former governor realize that a really able fusion mayor easily might prove fatal to Tamfhany and force a great many of the 147,000 officeholders to go back to earning their living.

There are others, however, who insist the former governor has outgrown his earlier ambition to be mayor and would be of greater service to the organization and the state as the successor to Senator Copeland, a post that must be filled in 1934. Still others contend that, if Governor Roosevelt should win the former governor should become a cabinet minister, and smilingly say that "the old would do well to call a man of Mr. executive ability to the post of secretary of agriculture and settle the farm problem once and for all. There are also a few who think he would make an excellent minister to the Irish Free State or Ambassador to France or Italy. These, however are suspected of being adherents of Boss Curry.

While Mr. friends can suggest many posts for him, the friends of the other prince of the organization now out of job. Jimmie Walker, must content themselves with deciding which of two posts he had better take. They (Continued on Page 4-A. Col.

They said they could find no gathering that resembled a convention. Secretary of State Frank Marsh, whose duty it is to watch over the numerous parties that have sprung up this year, said he saw nothing of the meeting.

The jury in the Arthur Maillefcrt sweatbox death case found George W. Courson guilty of manslaughter and acquitted Solomon Higginbotham A manslaughter verdict in Florida carries a penalty of one to twenty years. Courson and Higginbotham were charged with first degree murder in indictments returned by the Duval county grand jury. Maillcfert died last June 3 in a sweatbox at Sunbeam prison camp. He was strangled to death on a chain, which was locked around his neck and looped about an overhead rafter.

The Jury was out two hours and sixteen minutes before notifying Judge George Couper Gibbs it had reached a verdict. The finding was not in proper form, however, and Judge Gibbs sent the jurors back to rewrite it. Mrs. Rena Maillefert, mother of the dead New Jersey youth, calmly looked at the floor as the verdict was read. There was hardly a sound in the crowded courtroom.

Higginbotham was discharged from custody. attorney immediately filed notice of appeal for a new trial. Courson and Higginbotham contended MaJUtfert committed suicide rather than serve nine rears for robbery. State witnesses testified Maillcfert was placed in the sweatbox and chained up at direction. Courson claimed he acted only In a fatherly manner toward the boy, and that he placed him in the sweatbox only as a last resort to prevent him escaping.

There was not sign of demonstration as the words of the verdict fell. Mrs. Julia Maillefert said she had nothing to say about the outcome of the trial at present. Higginbotham rushed over to the press table, warmly grasped the hand of a reporter and said: like I thought. They gave me a square deal.

That was what I was Courson said he to better luck in the next Courson's bond of $5.000. assessed at a habeas corpus hearing some time ago, was allowed to stand pending the result of the new trial petition. In the summations Arthur Maillefert. young convict, was described alternately as a youth made desperate by horrors cruel than the Spanish Inquisition," and finally slain by torture, and as a fiercely willful prisoner who took his own life in despair when he failed to escape just puninshment. The closing arguments were largely built up around the fine distinction the lawyers drew between the words and and disagreement over whether reaction was the reckless activity of the one, or the hopeless surrender of the other.

Characterizing Germany's refusal to take part in a preliminary four-power arms conference at Geneva as an affront both to France and to the League of Nations, a government spokesman indicated that France was unlikely to agree to hold the meeting in any other city. The selection of Geneva was made when Premier Herriot saw Prime Minister MacDonald this week in London.

Has a beautiful showing of new fur trimmed Two appeals in the suits of Her bert S. Daniel, as receiver of the Lincoln Trust company and as receiver of the Lincoln Safe Deposit company, bankruptc, against the Lincoln Trust company and Lincoln Safe Deposit company with Margaret Young, a bond holder of the bankrupt firm, as intervenor, were filed in the supreme court Saturday.

The case was taken to the supreme court by Margare Young and others similarly situated. from the decision of the four district judges of Lancaster county who appointed the First Trust company trustee for the two bank rupt firms. The main question at issue is the alleged appointment of the trustee by the four judges in executive session rather than upon the evidence of the case. It is alleged that the session was not open to the attendance of the parties or their counsel and not within the meaning of judicial procedure. It is alleged that the court called into its session certain persons who were examined by the court in attempting to reach a decision in the matter of appointment of trustee, and none of these persons was placed under oath nor any record made of their testimony or the m- tervenor or others similarly situated given an opportunity to appear and object to the procedure or to the cross examinations.

It is claimed that the court disregarded the issues. It is further alleged that the court erred in not taking evidence as to the fitness and suitability of the trust company, and that the proceedings were non-judicial and arbitrary, and that the appointment is void. Appointment of the First Trust company was for the purpose of servicing approximately $20,000,000 in bonds and securities of the two firms. Thirty-four lawyers are in the action to have the appointment set aside. Attorney George Craven filed the appeal on behalf of himself and the thirty three other attorneys.

SOCIALISTS PREDICT GAIN Expect to Triumph in Senatorial Poll in France. PARIS. UP). Leaders of Premier radical socialist party predicted that senatorial elections would bring an increase in their representation in the upper house. The elections will settle eleven senate seats.

Candidates varying in age from just under forty to eighty-six are competing for them. The upper chamber has 314 members, and roughly one- third of this number is renewed every three years, the term being nine years. Normally only contests would take place this year, but there have been four deaths and Albert Lebrun resigned from the senate to become president. In each of the thirty-two departments in which renewals will occur, the voting will be by small electoral colleges comprising at best about 1,000 members. Those entitled to vote are general cillors.

municipal authorities, deputies, and other local officeholders. An absolute majority is needed on the first or second ballot, on the third a plurality suffices. Radical socialists base their confidence on the theory that the leftward swing which swept Andre Tardieu right centrist government out of power last May would be repeated. In other political quarters it was said the elections would make little difference in the party standing. LEAP CAUSES DEATH.
