These cur rent stock market hearings have not been very sensational because the Wall streetera have found out the eeret of how to act before senate committees. The Mitchells and the Morgans came down here last spring and tried to talk their way through alone. It did not work very well. The new troop of witnesses Is work ing an inside system which they very effectively eases the spanking they are getting. The private banker, Clarence Dill on, worked it so well that the com mittee patted him on the back when he left and told him what a good fel low he was. Flowers The secret of Dillon's success wss his disarming approval of what the committee was doing. Prosecutor Pe cora could pick no fights with him. Mr. Dillon believed that all corpora tions should be made to publish truthful statistics concerning: their financial condition Instead of the crudely evasive statementa they pub lish now. That happens to be one of the outstanding things the committee is working for. Other things found him similarly sympathetic. Some of his Wall street friends may pass him by back In New Tork for his heresy, but outside of that the recommendation will coat him nothing-It brought smiles or words of ap proval from all the committee mem bers save one. That one waa Senator rnni who crowled about "flowers pln distributed around here." and left. Murder The technique of Albert H. Wlggln was even more cooperative. As one wag remarked to Pecors, his questions were generally something like this: "Now. Mr. Wlggln. before you com. mltted thla murder. If you did com mit murder, you probably dlsembowl ed the victim, eh?" And Mr. Wlggln would generally nod hla head and answer meekly: "Yes, I probably did." That'a fine." Mr. Pecora would say. starting the question all over again. It left no room for quarreling or fighting, but only for a little by-play about whether you could really call I It murder or manslaughter. Just where the Wall atreeters found out about this way of doing It Is hard to say. Mathew Brush was the only witness to act that way last spring and he escaped unscathed. It la prob able that his experience furnished the background for the new deal In Wall atreet witnesses. But what la probably more Impor tant la the fact that the new witness es had the ahrewdness to employ skilled publicity men to advise them. In that they were following a ten denrv of the new deal ltaelf. where no department Is without good pub licity advice. I Arrangement tj.1. of . Ferdinand Pecora say he will get Mr. Roosevelt's sppolntment at federal district attorney in new York If he losea out In the city elec tion fight. A little understanding to that ef frt t sunoosed to have been made on the Inside before Pecora got Into the McKee fight. At least, some of the Pecora people look on It ss an understanding. Per , haps you could not call It a deal, but " Just a little half vague promise. That Is the way those thlnga are usually worked. It means Pecora has nothing to worry about no matter how the elec tion goes. That 1a Important because Pecora Is carrying a bigger load than Mc Kee. The mayor la elected by the en tire vote of the city, but the Man hattan district attorneyship la de cided on the result In that borough slone. And that borough la where the Tsmmsny strength lies. It la quite possible therefore that McKee will win and Pecora lose. Nevertheless the two are keeping In close contact on the progress of the campaign. The other day Pecora adjourned the stock market lnvestl gstlon in the middle of the examina tion of Albert H. Wiggin. He had a telephone call from McKee In New York. Vgvs BJBk'd Drama?

Medford Mail Treble FIERY CHIEFTAIN FLAYS NEW DEAL IN FIRST APPEAL Extent Of Support Unknown As Restrictions Planned Hope To Enlist All ' Classes. DES MOINES, Iowa, Oct. 31, (AP) Mllo Reno, president of the Na tional Farmere' Holiday association, tonight carried hla plea for support of a national farm atrlke, which atarted at noon today, to the doora of Industrial labor. Announcing hla departure to Chi cago for a conference on xwonoay with A. F. Whitney of Cleveland, president of the Brotherhood of Rail way Trainmen, Reno aald that "every effort would be made to enlist the moral aupport of all other groups of society." To the cause of the non-Buying, non-selling strike, the fiery holiday leader summoned the nation's 30, 000.000 farm population from New York to California and Gulf to Can ada. F. D. R. Urges Co-operation President Roosevelt called for the "spirit of co-operation" of colonial days In accepting an honorary de gree from Washington college at Chesertown, Md. Cognizant of the strike movement, the president Indi cated ,he might have an Important atatement In an address tomorrow night. In .what numbers farmera would Join In the holiday movement or atlck by the federal government'a relief program, waa not known to night. Letter Campaign Appealing for aupport from mem bers and non-members of the holi day association alike, Reno asserted the atrlke was a battle to determine "whether the farmer shall become peasant, the menial alaves of the us urers and the Industrialists," or re tain the Independence "inherited from this fathera." In a letter to the state association prealdenta, Reno advised that the "schools, churches, civic Institutions, labor groupa can be informed, not only as to the Juatness of the farm er's cause, but also mat every dusi ncss will suffer If the farmers' pur chasing power Is not restored, and that tile life of the republic at. at this time, hanging In the balance." "Cost of production" for farm pro ducts la the basic demand of Vie holiday members, and can be at tained only by the co-operation In strike of every farmer. Its sponsors assert. That return Induces lnter eat, expenses and other chargea. ReTolt Center Quiet In Bloux City, 13 months ago the center of farm- strike troubles In which one trucker was killed, all waa quiet today. County holiday asso ciation leaders said they had not been officially notified of the strike, and would not act until they had heard from Reno. Nebraska's holiday president, H. C. Parmenter, conferred with associates at Omaha to plan a curtailment of that city's milk aupply. Picketing would be used, he said, "unless we have the proper co-operation.' Although Governor William Lan ger'a wheat embargo In North Da kota remained nominally In effect, railroads continued to transport wheat from the state. Sherlffa, or dered to enforce the ban on grain ahlpplng, await formal Instructions. From Nebraska came Gov. cnarlea Bryan's prediction that Vie strike might obtain higher produce prices In shorter time then the federal gov ernment's program. He sought as surance, however, from holiday lead ersa that the movement would not tolerate violence. Ohio holiday officials Indicated their Intention to meet within two weeka to determine a course of ac- tlon. New York dairy farmers planned to meet Sunday to consider a strike. . .... . ..n- ..,.... h. in co-operation with the holiday aa soclatlon.

Hold Mighty Trojans Scoreless Speculation And Profiteering Moves Attacked First Scheme Thwarted Mus cle Shoals Lesson Recalled WASHINGTON, Oct. 31. (AP) A new threat of land speculation in the vicinity of large projects to be financed with federal funds tonight brought a sharp attack on "land sharks' from Secretary Ickes of the Interior department. The Ticlnlty of the alte for the Bonneville power dam in Oregon was disclosed aa the latest scene of spec ulative activity. . The public works administration, which la headed by Ickee. recently allotted 122.250.000 with which the dam will be started. Just before this allotment was made Ickes called a halt on several alloca tions for private housing corporations where It had been found that land speculatora in anticipation of devel opment had; obtained options on property In the vicinity. He then warned that the federal government would not allow funds In any terri tory where land speculation was dis covered. The secretary said tonight be had been asked by senators and con gressmen to issue a proclamation that no electricity would be furnished from the Bonneville dam to land sold at profiteering prices. Hta legal de partment had informed mm, now- ever, that such a proclamation would be beyond his authority and would have no beneficial effect. "I would do anything In my power to aplke the guns of thoae predatory land brigands," he said. "I sincerely regret that It la not possible for me summarily to halt the program of these land sharks." Recalling a similar boom in the vicinity of Muscle Shoals, Ickes said: "Muscle Shoals should furnish a lesson to the unwary. Thousands were Induced to purchase land there on the representation that It would vastly Increase In value. It has not and will not, and neither will the land In the vicinity of the Bonne ville project. SHY OF LICENSES SALHM. Oct. ai.

STATE'S DEFENSE WALL ENDS TROY VICMSTRING Warburton Fails To Shine As Franklin Stars In Mighty Contest Coach Jones Alibiless. MULTNOMAH OIVIO STADIUM, Portland, Oct. 1. (AV) A battling, bruising brood of Beavers from Ore gon state college gnawed and whit tled at the mighty wooden horse of Troy here today, and out tumbled the Trojans o Southern California to submit to a nothing to nothing tie. It waa the flrat time In 38 starts the Yrojana had not left the field victorious. A shouting and breathless crowd of 30.000 saw the Beavers turn bsck ths best the Trojans could offer In the Pacific coaat conference gams, and aaw them achieve It, phenomln ally, without making a alngle sub stitution. The eleven Orangemen to start were the eleven Orangemen to nnisn. eacn with auty full minutes of play to his credit. There waa no alibi forthcoming from Troy. Coach Howard Jones, "head man" of Southern California, had only praise for the eleven men who alone held his crunching, hesvy line and who destroyed all ths serial and line plays his faat backs could offer. No Troy Alibi uregon state fully deserved th tls score," he said. "While we're disappointed that ths Trolana win ning streak of 39 consecutive games waa halted, ws at leaat had the satla- facflon of not losing." He enthusiastically praised Coach Lon Stlner for having developed auch a wonderful team In his flrat seaaon aa head mentor at Oregon State, and the red-headed Pranklln for hla all- around ability at left half and espec ially iot nia alert passing defense to which Jones attributed largely hla teams failure to acore.
