Vdjvs SUICIDE THEORY !
Mnd DISCOUNTED BY
Site CORONER'S JURY
By PAUL MAIXON.
(Copyright. 1934, hy Paul Mallon)
WASHINGTON, March 6. The ad
ministration has been more worried
than It has cared to say about Its
policy of dropping CWA workers.
Mr. Rooseveltl secretly conduct
ing an investigation to find out what
becomes of the men who are dropped
and generally to ascertain how the
policy Is working.
He had to start curtailing. He
could not support four million per
sons on the government payroll In
definitely. Confidence in the finan
cial position of the government would
begin to wane.
But unless the expelled workers
find private employment, you can
bet that the administration will un
dertake another major move.
Some of those very close to Mr.
Roosevelt believe the next move wilt
be the establishment of an Interme
diate credit bank.
That appears to be tbo real pur
pose why the federal reserve gov
ernors were called to meet here Mon
day. The Insiders have apparently
worked out a plan whereby the
credit bank can start a little credit
Inflation without Interfering with
current banking business.
Commercial loans by banks are
largely for terms of 90 days and less.
The government could handle loans
for more than 90 days up to two or
three years.
Diplomats rarely find It desirable
to be frank in public. But they hide
nothing In their confidential reports.
Such reports from our agents in
Europe latefy have Indicated that the
current European war talk Is SO per
cent bluff. They predict there will
be no war In Europe within the next
year or so. Neither will there be
peace.
The way they have figured it out.
Hitler holds the whip hand over war
and peace. He is playing a crafty
pame. which does not call for war
yet. He will go ahead building for
" waf at home so he may be In shape
to fight a few years hence. He does
not care what the French do. He will
not fight them now.
They can march into Berlin If they
want to; but they cannot stop his
program.
If they strike at him. It will be like
punching a pillow.
Another deeper consideration la
world opinion. It would switch to
Germany overnight if France declar
ed war or Invaded German territory.
So you see what a clever position
Hitler has Jockeyed himself into. He
won't fight. His enemies dare not.
He is rebuilding his country in his
own way. Alt they can do Is frown
and try to think up some way of
hindering him without getting them
selves into trouble.
Respect for Hitler has grown tre
mendously in the world chancellories
in the last few months. Diplomats
who hate him have been heard to
refer to him as a greater figure than
Bismarck, for he Is accomplishing
the reconstruction of the German
empire without half the trouble Bis
marck took.
The little Independent kingdoms of
Germany are now completely under
hta thumb.
Austria soon will be.
All the European nations are pre
paring for war as fast as they can.
but none Is In a good position now
to fight a war.
The Internal situation of the gov
ernment of France is weaker than
at any time since the war. Italy Is
the only nation which ml&ht be able
to take up the bayonet against Hit
ler, but Mussolini has no Intention
of bayoneting any pillows. He does
not Intend to fight.
Thus the existing situation will
probably continue indefinitely, with
grimacing and catcalling going on
over the back fences so enthusias
tically that you may think the boys
re going to start shooting any mln
r ute. Indent, there may even he ex
change of blows In central Europe,
but no organized warfare.
Of course, there is always the pos
sibility In a strained situation, like
that of someone sinking a Maine
and precipitating trouble.
The way Interior Secretary Ickes
happened to get his Job In the cabi
net has long been a mystery. A doa
en different stories hare been told.
One Is that Senator Hiram Jahnson
got the Job for him. ' Another hint
la that the Nebraska Democratic
committeeman. Arthur Mullen, met
him wandering around the senate of
fice building one day and offered
the Job to him.
The official version Is that Mullen
worked with Ickes throughout the
Roosevelt campaign, organizing Re
publics ns-for-Roosevelt clubs. They
got to be close friends. Ickes wanted
a Job after election, but he did not
aspire to a cahjnet post. Then Mr
Roosevelt ran Into trouble picking
an interior secretary. Ex-Governor I
F.MIette declined. So did Senator
Cutting. The rallfornians rained such
a rumpus shout the third choice
(Dern of Vtah, that Mullen pressed
the cause of Ickes and Ickes was
chosen, sltt unseen, on Mullen's
recommendation.

Strange Position
of Mrs.:
Cook's Body Leaves Room
for Doubt Rope Broken
Former Attempt Cited
The strange position In which the
body of Mrs. Jessie M. Cook, 48,
Beagle homesteader, was found, after
she had apparently hanged from a
scaffold in her yard, Saturday, caused
some question as to whether she was
a suicide, and as a result, the coro
ner's Jury last evening returned a
verdict in which thev stated "the
I person or persons guilty of a crime by
J reason of her death, are unknown."
j The jury's statement also said "She
, met her death by the following
means: strangulation.' All members
of the jury signed the decision.
. Evidence presented did not satisfy
the Jury as to the exact cause of Mrs.
Cook's death, and the witnesses were
questioned extensively by the mem
bers. Hired Man Testifies
w:liam Dalle Wert, 40, employed
by Mrs. Cook at the homestead, testi
fied that he and Mrs. Cook had
breakfast together about eight o'clock
Saturday morning, and after helping
do the dishes, asked her If she want
ed him to go after the milk.
He said that every four days they
got milk from the Clarence Wheeler
ranch. He went to the Wheeler's,
which took about twenty minutes,
Wert said, and talked to Wheeler for
fifteen minutes, then went to the
Charles Drake place, which was about
a ten minute walk from Wheeler's.
At the Drake ranch, Wert testified,
i he conferred about some shakes for a
new cabin he was building Mrs. Cook.
He then returned home, he said, tak
ing about ten or fifteen minutes. It
was then, according to hie statement,
that be found the body of Mra, Cook,
lying on the ground near the scaf
fold. Coat Over Head
Wert told the Inquiring body that
Mrs. Cook's coat was over her head
in such a position, that he did not,
at first, notice the rope about her
neck. When he did, he laid the body
down, and took the rope off, leaving
the rope on the ground by the scaf
fold. "I thought there were signs of
gasping when I picked her up, so I

Federal Judge Tells Senate
Banking Committee
Many Bank Defalcations
Due to Stock Speculation
WASHINGTON. March 6. (AP)
Outlawing of' all marginal trading
and placing stock exchanges on a
cash basis was advocated today before
the senate banking committee by
Federal Judge William Clark of New
Jersey, who contended that margins
lead In "an unconscionable number
of cases to either death, dishonor, or
distress."
Earlier, the committee aald a mem
ber of J, P. Morgan and company
would be called for questioning on
the sale of 4500 ahares of United Air
craft stock shortly before cancellation
of the airmail contracts by the gov-
I ernment.

jsel, said he would call the Morgan
'partner responsible for the sale to
I find out what caused the decision,
although he did not yet know which
jone had charge of the tranaaetlon.
I The house Interstate commerce
committee heard John Dickinson, as
sistant secretary of commerce, testify
that only the federal government
could regulate stock exchanges be
cause of their Interstate character.
Dickinson added that the Fletoher
Raybum exchange control bill, with
Its rigid margin requirements, would
result In the liquidation of vast
amounts of securities with the "most
deflationary consequences."
Speculation Blamed
Clark, who attracted nation-wide
attention a few years ago by declar
ing the 18th amendment Invalid, was
the llrst witness to urge strengthen
ing of the marginal provisions of the
Fleteher-Rayburn market control bill.
He cited his experiences on the
bench to support the view that mar
ginal trading leads to "tragic conse
quences." Judge Clark aald he had been
forced to send men to prison because
they used money entrusted to them
by poor depositors to "protect their
margin accounts."
The district attorney for my dla
trlct," he added, "advises me that
about one half of our national bank
embezzlements in the last five years
are the result of stock apeculatlon."
Suicides a Result
He testified also that In an Increas
ing number of cases Involving life
Insurance policies before his court,
death had been established as suicide
motivated by being "wiped out In the
stock market."
Evidence presented to the senate
committee yesterday disclosed that
less than two weeks before the air
mall contracts were cancelled the
Morgan firm disposed of the block of
stock at around (35 a share.
It fell to almost 130 when the con
tract cancellation was announced.
Pecora said he would not begin his
Investigation Into reports of a "leak"
on the cancellation until the stock
exchange had submitted additional

An Involuntary non - suit was
granted yesterday afternoon in favor
of the C. B. Oatea Auto company of
this city In the damage suit of Del
bert Tlngleaf of Eagle Point for ap
proilmately 38,000 for injuries, re
putedly sustained in an auto acci
dent on the Butte Falls road In July,
1931. The non-suit automatically re
moved the case from the handa of the
Jury, which had Ilatened to the testi
mony In the case for two days. R. A.
Miller, an auto aaleaman, waa named
as a co-defendant.
Motion for the involuntary non-suit
was filed by the defendants at the
conclusion of the evidence In the
case.
The non-suit was baaed upon the
grounds that Tlngleaf waa a guest
passenger In the wrecked auto, and
thereby contributed ,to any negli
gence: that there waa no ahowlng of
gross negligence on the part of the
defendants, nor evidence to show that
Ralph Dlnsmore was an agent of the
defendant, acting for them; that there
waa no evidence to show that Dlns
more was an Incompetent driver, hut
instead that the evtdence showed he
was a rompetent driver, and 'that the
fact Dlnamore possessed no driver's
license waa not proof of hla driving
Incompetency.
It was also contended Dlnamorc
was given" permission to drive the
auto from the Tlngleaf home to Eagle
Point on a purported errand, by R.
A. Miller, an auto salesman, but that
Dlnsmore had violated the condltlona
of the borrowing by driving afar.
The court upheld the non-suit con
tentions of the defendants, following
extended argument.
The evidence In the trial ahowed
that R. A. Miller, a salesman for the
auto company, had gone to the Dlns
more home to dlscxisa with the father
the purchase of an auto. Miller al
lowed young Dlnsmore to drive the
auto to Eagle Point, and he drove to
the Tlngleaf home and asked the
complaining witness to Join him,
which Tlngleaf did. Later, a youth
by the name of Jesse Walton Joined
the party. The testimony ahowed that
Miller loaned the Kuto to young Dlns
more for a specific trip, not a general
tour,
' The testimony ahowed that the
party atopped at Brown's store In
Eagle Point. thn proceeded to Shady
Cove and that Tlngleaf at one atage
of the Journey had akd Dlnsmore
"Not to go ao fast. Returning from
Shady Cove, Dlnsmore drove up the
Butte Falls road. At a curve, the
auto swerved and plunged down n
embankment, aerlouslv Injuring Wal
ton and Tlngleaf. The defense con
tended that Dlnsmore waa driving at
an excessive rate of apeed. The de
fense also ahowed that Tlngleaf had
several opportunities to disembark
from the atito,
Tlngleaf sustained two broken legs
In the crash, complicated by asserted
non-union of the bones, and other
injuries. He appeared In eourt with
crutches and haa been a sufferer lnc
the accident. The null waa filed by
hi mother, as guardian.
The ault of Jee.se Walton, an out
growth of the same sccident. was ad
justed out of court.
