FINANCE KING
SEEKS QUIET
PEACEFUL LIFE
j LONDON March J. bfV-Report*
that J. P. Morgan would desert Wall
Street for the quiet life of an Eng-
li*h\ gentlemen created only a mild
reaction In Great Britain which has
more millionaires to the square mile
than any other nation.
More interest was shown in the an-
nouncement that he would send his
notable collection of miniatures here
for auction.
(England Good Market
Those who deal or dabble in the
fine arts were especially interested
in the projected sale. They fore-
saw the possibility that other art
treasures also might be sent here ss
the financier proceeded with the par-
tial liquidation of his estate. Eng-
land's tastes concentrated wealth
and nearness to continental centers
provided a good market for such
objects.
Should Morgan come here to live
he would have no house hunting to
do. For many years he has main-
tained both a London town house
and a country home. He is a well
known figure at Watford. Hertford-
shire site of his country estate
maintained in the fashion of any
English landed baron. There are
many farm agents gamekeepers and
servants.
Fine blooded stock is but one of
the features of the estate. Hogs have
been entered s number of times in
the neighboring shows which corres-
ponds to the American country fairs.
Fine Town House
The Morgan town house is located
in a quiet square of exclusive May-
fair.
It is said that the house always is
fully staffed with even the beds
turned down and that all is ever in
readiness to entertain the master or
any of his friends who happen to
be visiting in London.
The financier a keen sportsman
[\ on his last visit to the British Isles
spent mo6t of his time Grouse shoot-
ing in Scotland getting fine bags
each day.
J. P. Morgan’s plan to auction his
collection of miniatures in London
was announced at his New York of-
1 flees Tuesday. About 900 miniatures
among them some of the best extant
axe involved. The collection has been
appraised at 100.000 but art dealers
said it was impossible to estimate
what they would bring on the open
market.
Already this year Morgan naa aoiu
i tlx paintings for $1500000 and had
placed on the market two estates one
1 of which he bought a few years ago
for about $600000. He announced
i when he sold the pictures that he de-
L aired to place his estate In a more
liquid condition.
The financier has said nothing
about his personal plans however
and speculation has been rife.

NEW YORK STOCKS
NEW YORK. March 2.—uP)—The
stock market was notably calm Sat-
urday in the face of another slump
in sterling and a Jump in London
gold and silver prices. Even the
metals lost their buoyant tone of
the previous session and were only
moderately higher. Fluctuations
elsewhere were generally narrow.
The close was somewhat Irregular.
Transfers approximated 260000
shares.
The pound dropped some S cents
to around $4.78. the lowest level sines
October 1923. At the same time the
British gold rate was lifted 94
pence to 148 shillings 104 pence an
ounce (equivalent to 835.37) a new
record peak. The English snot nil
ver price also shot up to 27 ponce
an ounce the highest since Oct.
1928. In New York silver hoisted l
cent to 57T» cents an ounce also
a new top In nearly seven years.
European gold currencies naturally
exhibited strength against the pound
ar.d dollar.
While some brokerage quarters
interpreted the gyrations of the
precious metals and foreign ex-
change* as an indication that fur-
ther inflationary step? might have
to be taken by the New Deal ad-
ministration. conservative banking
quarters and many stock traders
were not so sure. That leading
equities did not respond to the in-
flation implications it was pointed
cut was not surprising in view
of disturbing possibilities connect-
ed with France and the gold bloc
countries being forced off the stand-
ard.
Most foreign observers were not
particularly excited over the sit-
uation. a few of those expressing
the opinion that international cur-
rency stabilization may be much
nearer than financial circles ex-
pect.
Commodities were as apathetic as
stocks grains and cotton holding to
a restricted groove during the great-
er part of the business day. Bonds
were mixed.
There were scattered share gain-
ers of substantial amounts. Colum-
bia Carbon got up more than 3 and

Florida Inspection
Changes Are Made
(Special to The Herald)
HARLINGEN. March 2—Inspec-
tion of Florida citrus fruits Is to be
on a voluntary basis for remainder
of the season. Article V. grading
and inspection of the license for
citrus fruits grown In Florida hav-
ing been suspended because of the
material reduction In the size of
the crop through frost damage.
Article V called for grading and
certification according to D. 8
standards and payment of an in-
spection fee. Because of the freeze
neither this clause nor proratlon will
be attempted for remainder of the !
season. There will be no further
attempt to regulate sizes and grades
of fruit shipped.

T*E hfeKT 'T'EARvSHE SAYS
EARLY BONUS
VOTEJS SEEN
WASHINGTON March t. UPh-
The treasury Saturday Indicated
that for the present it would keep
out of the congreslsonal fight over
the $2000000000 bonus bill.
Although hearings on some SO
bonus bills will start Monday before
the house ways and means commit-
tee. treasury officials informed dem-
ocratic leaders they would not tes-
tify’ unless asked to do so.
The reasons said some democrat-
ic leaders were these:
It Is generally understood that
the treasury and the president op-
pose bonus payment in any form.
If a treasury witness should appear
before the ways and means commit-
tee he might be asked point blank
which of two major bills he thought
"the lesser of two evils"—the Patman
bill under which new currency
would be issued or the American
Legion-Vinson Dill which simply
authorizes an appropriation with-
out saying how the money should be
raised.
A house vote Is In sight later next
week. There were renewed indica-
tions Saturday that neither adminis-
tration nor bonus spokesmen would
propose a compromise at the time.
Speaker Byms predicted indirect-
ly that the house would vote for
bonus payment for he told news-
papermen “we ought to give the bon-
us bill right-of-way and send it to
the senate.**
Other leaders agreed.
The ways and means committee’s
calendar of witnesses for the hear-
ings has not been completed. Chair-
man Doughton (D-N.Q.) said he
still Intended to make the hearings
"very brief

Labor Renews
Its Attack On
F. D. R.’s Board
DETROIT. March 1 Pres-
ident Roosevelt's automobile labor
board found Itself the target of Am-
erican Federation of Labor dissat-
isfaction again Saturday as the A.
F. of L. pursued its efforts to union-
ize the Industry where the open
shop has been In vogue for 25 years.
Created last March 25 as a means
of averting a threatened strike In
the Industry’ the board approached
Its first anniversary with the A. F.
of L. arranging a •'secret” strike
vote among its 176 auto worker
locals.
The A. F of L. action annonunc-
ed Friday was explained by Fran-
cis J. Dillon. A. F. of L. organizer
as an outgrowth of the Federation's
dissatisfaction with the automobile
labor board's methods of conduct-
ing collective bargaining elections.
These elections have shown that
the A. F. of L. represents a minori-
ty of the workers.
With 89.273 of the industry's
200.000 workers thus far canvassed
the board reported that only 3.926
recorded A. F. of L. affiliations
while 66821 others Indicated they
were unafflllated with any labor
union.
Dillon Intimated that the strike
vote would be a test of the federa-
tion's strength. It will not neces-
sarily mean the actual calling of a
strike as only the national officers
of the federation have this power.

The relief administration has esti-
mated that 20.000.000 are depend-
ent upon It.
Half a dozen departments had the
payroll data in part and none was
in position to put It together to the
satisfaction of all the others.
Compiliation of figures at the re-
lief administration labor depart-
ment and the civilian conservation
corps showed checks went last
month to 6.253.419 persons as fol-
lows:
Work relief 2 250 000
Direct relief 2.750 000
Regular pavrolls 954.719.
CCC 398 700.
In addition the agricultural ad-

patched 11.075.107 checks to date
the public works administration es-
timated 305 000 were employed at
the sites of PWA protects in Janu-
ary and a government estimate of
those employed then on projects
resulting from direct congressional
appropriation was 12.000. While
those on PWA projects were not
paid bv the government their wages
were from the treasury—at least In

419 ftcure for a grand total of 17-
Oovernment statisticians said the
FERA AAA. PWA figures could
varv greatly from month to month.
The regular payroll figure was

Several times it has been

roll totals break It into salary
groups and have this available

diately but went to the garage to

The body was still warm at the
time—0:05 a. m."

cess until Tuesday when the wom-
an’s husband Bradley Davidson*
