G ASTON B. MEANS was indicted
— by the grand jury in Washington
on charges of having swindled Mrs.
Edward B. McLean out of $104,000 by
before the senate judiciary committee
and recommended modification of the
Eighteenth amendment to permit a form
of state liquor control similar to the
Bratt system which has been in force
in Sweden for fifteen years. Since his
appointment to the Stockholm post in
1930 Mr. Morehead has made a care-
ful study of the system and is con-
vinced that it is successful and satis-
factory. The State department con-
sented to his appearance before the
committee.
To make possible adoption of the
Swedish system here Morehead rec-
ommended another amendment to the
Constitution permitting states wishing
to license liquor to do so through leg-
islation and allowing dry states to re-
main that way.
The minister labeled unwise or Im-
possible all proposals for nullification
of the liquor laws, repeal of the Eight-
eenth amendment and modification of
the Volstead act. He argued that sat-
isfactory enforcement of the present
liquor laws was virtually impossible.
Turning to the Bratt system, he tes-
tified that its success rests upon the
provision that all personal interest and
profit is removed from the liquor busi-
ness, all profits accruing to the gov-
ernment, with the trade put on a
“scientific basis.”

HULFILLING expectations, President
* Hoover vetoed the so-called Demo-
cratic tariff bill, which transferred
from him to congress the power to
make changes in tariff rates as recom-
mended by the tariff commission. The
roll was called in the house and it
was found the proponents of the meas-
ure could not muster the two-thirds
majority necessary to override the
veto.
Depew's Business Life
Chauncey Depew was so well known
as an orator and after-dinner speaker
that many people lose sight of the fact
that he was a prominent lawyer, bank
director and railway executive. He
served two terms in the United States
senate and attended every Republican
national convention from 1888 to 1924.
In 1924 he was a delegate, but illness
prevented his attendance.

States can claim the discovery of fin-

in Korea twelve hundred years ago.

tendered his resignation, but was per-
suaded to hold on until about the first
of June, when a new cabinet will be
formed.
There is little doubt that the new
premier will be Edouard Herriot, lead-
er of the Radical Socialist party,
which was the biggest winner in the
elections. The Socialists also made
considerable gains. If they do not
work in co-operation with Herriot, he
may have to make a deal with the
moderate right wing headed by Tar-
dieu. It might be well again to call
attention to the fact that Radical So-
cialists of France are really neither
very radical nor actually Socialists,
but are liberals with a program for
the aid of agriculture, industry and
commerce. It is not likely that there
will be any decided change in France’s
international policies under Herriot.
N/AJ. GEN. ENOCH CROWDER’S
-V- distinguished career came to an
end with his death in Walter Reed
hospital, Washington. The general,
who was a legal expert, was the cre-
ator of the draft system used by the
United States in the World war. He
also was judge advocate general of
the army and in 1917 was detailed as
provost marshal general. In 1923 he
was appointed ambassador to Cuba
and resigned in 1927.
SENATOR ROBINSON, Democratic
• leader of the senate, put forward
his scheme for providing $2,300,000,000
for the relief of unemployment, and
President Hoover indorsed it in prin-
ciple. The President then outlined his
own proposals in this line, under which
the Reconstruction Finance corporation
would loan not to exceed $1,500,000,000
for the various purposes contemplated.
Of this amount, from $250,000,000 to
$300,000,000 would be loaned to states
for the relief of unemployment distress
and the remainder would be loaned to
public and private agencies to aid in
the financing of “income producing”
construction projects.
To procure funds for this undertak-
ing the Reconstruction Finance cor-
poration would be authorized to sell
debentures in the amount of $1,500,-
000,000. For this purpose its borrow-
ing power would be increased to $3,-
000,000,000.
Neither the Robinson nor the Hoover
plan was enthusiastically received by
Democratic senators.

The Lindbergh child has been found
dead in the Sourland hills of New
Jersey not far from the Lindbergh
home. It had been brutally murdered
and had been dead for about two
months. No more dreadfully shock-
ing news could be imagined, nothing
that could produce so great a horror
of the depths of criminality to which
this nation has been reduced.
CENATOR TASKER L. ODDIE of
• Nevada, Republican, brought upon
himself the wrath of the Democrats
and some of the Republicans when,
MRS. HATTIE W. CARAWAY, sen-
-- ator from Arkansas—the only
woman ever elected to the senate—has
announced her candidacy for a full six-
year term. The polit-
proposed by the Democrats, and on
it were named three members of each
major party. Senator Wesley Jones
of Washington, Republican, was made
chairman, the other members being
Bingham of Connecticut and Dickin-
son of Iowa, Republicans; and Byrnes
of South Carolina, McKellar of Ten-
nessee and Bratton of New Mexico,
Democrats.
The President immediately invited
these gentlemen to breakfast with
him and they all discussed plans to
salvage the economy bill which the
house ruined and to speed up the
passage of the revenue raising bill
which was being debated in the sen-
ate.
Savings of more than $230,000,000
are regarded necessary by the ad-
ministration above its cut of $369,-
000,000 in the budget estimates for
next year. This curtailment should
permit the $1,000,000,000 tax bill to
. make ends meet in 1933.
Mr. Hoover re-emphasized his be-
lief in the furlough plan of “stagger-
ing” federal employment as opposed
to the house provision for a straight
11 per cent cut In federal salaries
above $2,500. nder his proposition, he
believes, $55,000,000 will be saved
next year while thousands of workers
will be enabled to hold their positions.
Senator Watson of Indiana, Repub-
lican leader, put his full influence be-
hind the tax measure and said he was
confident that it, as well as the econ-
omy legislation, would be passed by a
dominant non-partisan combination.
The revenue bill was reported to the
, senate by the finance committee in
the form agreed upon after a confer-
ence with Secretary of the Treasury
Mills. It raises the income tax and
corporation rates above the increases
voted by the house. It repeals many
of the special excise levies provided
by the house and offsets this loss in
revenue with a rubber import duty,
higher automobile levies and greater
admission taxes. Four other tariff
items—oil, coal, copper and lumber—
remain In the bill.

Sign Language

A BELOVED legend of our days of
h- westward expansion is the story
of Jonathan Chapman, known to every
settler along the Pennsylvania and
Ohio frontier, and in much literature
since, as Johnny Appleseed. It was
his life mission to plant along the
paths newly hewn into the wilderness
apple trees to give welcome shade and
refreshing fruit to the hordes to come.
He was an eccentric figure surely, with
sacks of apple seeds salvaged each
autumn from the cider mills, but the
small boys of the frontier regarded
him too highly to mock at him and
even the Indians esteemed him, al-
lowed him to wander at will unmo-
lested and made it possible for him
more than once to give the alarm for
an impending attack.
Johnny Appleseed was born in
Springfield, Mass., in 1768, son of a
Revolutionary veteran and a graduate
of Harvard. He traveled for a time
in Virginia as a Swedenborgian mis-
sionary, and later with his brother
joined the tide of migration west of
the Alleghanies. One version of the
legend has it that he combined in his
wanderings his philanthropic purpose
with a vain search for a lost sweet-
heart from whom he had been sep-
arated when she and her family joined
one of the first expeditions to the
west.
However that may be, it was at
Pittsburgh, then a mere cluster of log
cabins, that Johnny Appleseed was
struck by the absence of fruit trees
and commenced the life work which
gave him his name. He died near Fort
Wayne, Ind., in 1847.

HOLLYWOOD, Cal., May. 7 — Our

went on the warpath and cut loose
with both barrels at Congress and the

Attorney General Gilbert Bettman

for senator on an anti-prohibition plat-
form, leading Louis J. Taber, dry, mas-
ter of the National Grange, by about
55,000 votes. Next November Bettman
will face Robert J. Buckley, wet Dem-
ocratic incumbent, who was renomi-
nated without opposition.
David S. Ingalls, assistant secretary
of the navy for aeronautics, who made
repeal his issue, won the Republican
gubernatorial. nomination from Secre-
tary of State Clarence J. Brown, dry,
and his nearest opponent in a four-
cornered race. Ingalls will run in No-

vorite son of the Ohio Democrats for

(ARTER GLASS, the strenuous sen-
ator from Virginia, fighting to put
through his banking reform bill, cre-
ated something of a sensation by as-
serting that certain Chicago bankers,
whom he did not name, had “hired
some congressmen” to oppose the Mc-
Fadden branch banking bill several
years ago. and also had employed a
skillful lobbyist at a high salary. He
declined to name the congressmen,
too. Representative Morton D. Hull
of Illinois, who was active in oppos-
ing the McFadden bill in the behalf
of the Chicago banks, would not dis-
cuss the Glass charges but indignant-
ly denied having been hired. The lob-
byist in question, E. N. Baty, said he
acted as executive secretary of the Chi-
cago and Cook County Bankers’ asso-
ciation and received only his regular
salary.

• baby was murdered, probably
soon after the kidnaping. The body of
the infant, badly decomposed and
with fractures of the skull, was
found, partly covered with leaves and
debris, near a road in the Sourland
hills less than five miles from the
Lindbergh estate. Physicians said the
little boy had been dead for at least
two months. He was stolen from his
nursery on the night of March 1.
The finding of the body was acci-
dental. It was discovered by William
Allen, a negro truck driver, and three
companions who stopped by chance at
that particular place and, stepping in-
to the woods, discovered the little
skeleton. Identification was soon es-

in this. The skull was fractured on
both sides, one break possibly being
a bullet hole.

ing his political fences. His pent-
house, “Skye Farm” in Waverly
Place, was the scene of many gather-
ings of notables from the world of
sport, the stage, screen and literature.
One might drop in any evening and
find the cognoscenti in full flower. And
then Seaman fell in love with lovely
Phyllis Haver of the films, and after
a whirlwind courtship they were mar-
ried. Their devotion became a part of
the White Way lore.
An evening recently Seaman was
persuaded to come out of his long
domestic retirement to attend a stag
banquet in the Broadway section. It
was an evening of hale frolic and was-
sail. And Seaman, tiring of it early,
excused himself to go to his club to
write letters.
He left word for a friend at the ban-
quet to call for him there and drive
him home. His friend got the wrong
address, pulled up in front of one of
the “take joints” and inquired of an
outside capper if Seaman was there.
He was told he was, but had stepped
out a moment and would be back.
The friend ordered a round of drinks
for several percentage ladies-for-sale,
then becoming suspicious of the place
and at Seaman’s non-appearance asked
for his check. He was presented with
one for $86 and after a noisy argument
settled for twenty dollars.
Emerging, he found Seaman leaving
his club a few doors away and told of
his experience. Angered, Seaman
rushed into the gyp dive, was surroun-
ed by gorillas, but was so fierce in his
demand for his friend’s $20. that he
miraculously got it. Also a newer ap-
preciation of the fireside and slippers.
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., May 3.—
Primary election day out here in
California. Course its all cut and dried
with the republicans, but the old dem-,
ocrats out here in Orangejuiceville got
a chance to name the next democratic
nominee. Al Smiths big spurt in the
east has shown that Governor Roose-
velt cant possibly go to the convention
with enough to nominate. Give Gar-
ner California and Texas, and he will
be sitting prettier than any of the
three, for there is one thing about a
Smith delegate, he is sure loyal to
Smith, and wont go for anyone else at
the finish only who Smith tells em to.
The democrats always beat the man
that goes to the convention with the
most votes. McAdoo at Madison
Square Garden when he had a big ma-
jority, Champ Clark at Baltimore when
he had six hundred, so California can
win with Jack.

• a Blackfoot Indian chief named
Two Guns White Calf. For many
years innumerable pictures of him
have appeared in newspapers all over
the country with some such caption as
“You’ve His Portrait in Yo r Pocket—
Perhaps.” For popular legend has it
that he is the original of the Indian
on the buffalo nickel.
But the man who knows, if anyone
does, who was the original of that fa-
mous likeness says that it isn’t Chief
Two Guns White Calf. That man is
James Earle Frazer, a famous sculptor
whose design was accepted by officials
of the United States treasury when
the new five-cent nien- was issued
so e 15 years ago.
Mr. Frazer has stated that he “had
never seen Two Guns White Calf”
which would em to dispose of ne
legend of the Blackfoot being bis
model. More than that he goes on to
say that he used the profiles of three
Indians for his design. One was Chief
Iron Tail of the Ogallala Sioux, an-
other was Chief Two Moons of the
Nort’iern Cheyennes and the third was
an Indian whose name he had forgot-
ten. So instead of the “buffalo nickel In-
dian” having one original, it had three
and two of them were very famous
Indians, indeed—great chiefs among
their people and leaders in the Custer
battle in 1876 and other famous bat-
tles with both white men and red.

Yet the dreadful end of a hor-
rible tragedy will be for the unhappy
parents almost a relief from the un-
certainty, the constant wondering and
worrying about the child by day and
in the dead of night. It means the
end of an agony that has lasted, week
after week for so long.
It means, above all, that the little
boy is forever beyond the reach of
man’s hideous brutality. His spirit is
set free, nothing can ever harm him
now. His parents must find what com-
| fort they can in that thought and in
the profound sympathy and affection
of an entire nation.
Writing about matrimony, says a
wise one, “when men express disap-
proval of their wives’ clothes, they
have ceased to love their mates.”
The same thing is told better by
Harry Hershfield in his “Harry
Hershfield’s Jewish Jokes” quoting,
it is understood, an anecdote by the
ethnologist Irvin Cobb: “You look
heavy depressed, Volter—what seems
to be the aggriwayshun?”
“Mine wife. She’s terribly untidy.
Her cooking is awful. She don’t wash
the dishes and the whole day she’s
playing cards.”

meet this other woman?”
