No. 173. n mm b By PAUL MAIXON. (Copyright, 1934, ,hy Paul Mai Ion) WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 11. The gr-r-r-eat government drive to un freeze the capital market has been accompanied by more ballyhoo than anything since the NHA. Jesse Jones, the RFC chairman, h a a talked himself hoarse. Even the staid old federal reserve board crowd took to the radio. Together they have done every thing short of ramming money down the throats of business men In an effort to get rid of the 580. 000,000 which congress authorized for this noble experiment In credit expansion. No one will believe it, but today, alter three months of effort, they have managed to put out less than 5.000,000. That leaves them only 575,000,000 more to go. if k The latest tabulations by the RKC and the federal reserve board are in credible, but official. On October 6 the RFC had exactly 2,357.000 out standing In loans of this character. On October 3 the federal reserve board total was $2,467,000. Add them together and you find that the gov ernment unfroze the capital market to the tune of $4,824,000 up to very recent dates. The heat from that would not be enough to unfreeze an tee cream cone on a July day. It la so bad you cannot blame the government agencies for trying to make it look a little better by giving more prominence to the amount of loans authorized, instead of loans actually made. The RFC has author ized about $12,000,000 and the fed eral reserve board $10,000,000. If these loans are actually made later, the scope of success would be $27,000. 000, which might unfreeze something, but certainly not the credit structure. There Is Just one reason for this human nature. That Is one of the few things which cannot be changed by ballyhoo. In the first place, no honest gov ernment official Is going to make a bad loan If he can detect that It Is bad. Certainly Jesse Jones and the federal reserve boarders are not. No one knows how many applications Jones has turned down, but there are figures to show that out of the first 3800 applications received by the fed eral reserve board about 1300 (nearly half) were rejected. The reasons were that the borrowers could not offer good collateral, were not In good fin ancial condition or were ineligible. In the second place, no business man with good collateral or in good financial condition la going to boi row money from the government or anyone else unless he thinks he Is going to make a profit out of using the money. This current experience Is a rather conclusive Indication that the people who want to bring back prosperity by artificial credit expansion are try ing to make the horse run backward. All the credit in the world will not move a bobbin indxistry unless it is accompanied by expectations of fu ture business profits. L mail 3 Prince Paul Will Be Head Of Regency By CHARLES M EI ST EH (Copyright, 1934, by the Associated Press) BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, Oct. 11. (AP) The boy Crown Prince Peter was proclaimed king of Yugoslavia today by both houses of parliament sit ting as a national assembly. In a scene of sadness, and silence, broken only by the spoken pledges, the members sitting as a national assembly took the oaths to make the 11-year-old son of the slain Alexander King Peter the Second. , has made strlkda gnl Each member took the oath indi- 1 vidually to support the king's consti tution and the law of the land. A solemn scene was presented as the pale, nervous Prince Paul, Alex ander's cousin and head of the newly appointed regency, looked down from the royal enclosure at hundreds of sad-visaged deputies, as each raised his right hand and with the left on the Bible pledged himself to the new regime. Prince Paul himself dramatically won the heart of parliament by a simple laconic speech. After swearing faithfully to serve his country and to preserve the unity of Its people, he said: "Thank you for your confidence In me. I think you have not made a mistake in me." The deputies then broke Into pro longed and excited cheers such as have seldom been won by a care fully worded oration In a parliament where the ceremony took place. The senators and deputies, still feeling the shock of Alexander's as sassination at Marseille, obviously were reassured by the prince's words. By Richard G. Massock Associated Press Foreign Staff, (Copyright, 1934, by the Associated Press.) PARIS, Oct. 1 1 ( AP ) France's police, stung by the assassination on French soil of . King Alexander, of Yugoslavia, and Louis Barthou, for eign minister of France, arrested two alleged terrorists and shot It out with a third who escaped and hunted In tently for two more accomplices to day. The terrorists gang, they said, was affiliated with Petrus Kalemen. the assassin of Morsetlle. France prepared to bury her be loved statesman, Barthou, even as she guarded zealously the safety of the new king of Yugoslavia, 11-year-old Peter II. and his mother, the widowed Queen Marie. Madame Lebrun, the wife of the president of France, of fered herself as a pledge of Queen Marie's safety, for, disguised with a heavy veil, she rode through the streets of Paris In an automobile with her husband, sitting In the place of honor that spectators might think she was the Yugoslavian queen. Queen Mario, meanwhile, was smug gled from the Marseille train to the Yugoslav legation where she Joined her son. A shakeup of the French cabinet appeared increasingly probable as the public denunciation of police failures arose to a storm of protests. ITALIAN OFFICIAL BELGRADE, Oct. 11.

Pleading for formation of a polit ical party, Hugo Ernst of the Hotel j and Restaurant employes, declared "the time has come when labor needs to organize along political as well as economic lines." Ernst said the resolution calling for such a party was not communistic. He assailed tho stand taken by Acting Gcvernor Frank Merrlam of California during the- recent genernl strike here, charging the governor "had played into the hands of the vicious industrial association" In call ing out troops "to help the employers break the strike."

VICTIM SUFFERING FROM COLD WHEN BEATEN, ABDUCTED Family Is Ready to Make Quick Payment of $50, 000 Ransom Demanded in Bold Louisville Snatch LOUISVTLLE, Ky., Oct. 1 1. (JPi Fear that Mr. Alice 8 toll, young society matron, might die In a kid naper's hands waa based. It was learn ed today, not only on the fact that she was beaten with an Iron pipe until blood on me, but that she was suffering from a severe cold when abducted. From members of the family of Berry V. Stoll, oil company vice-president, police learned during the night that the 26-year-old former Bryn Mawr student and Junior League membor, waa 111 when a white-faced man kldnapgd her late yesterday for $50,000 ransom.

We had a bait game, we had a riot, we had Judge Land Is hold court right on the field. And we had "Dicny" Dean. Anywhere "Dizzy" Is there Is something hap pening, either for or against. The courtroom scene didn't last long because neither ball player had time to call their lawyers quick. 1 believe I am the only fellow who talked with both boys in their dress ing rooms directly after the game. Medwtck, whom I already knew, is a fine boy and he felt very sorry, said it was Just in the excitement of the game, and he did It before he real l ted what he waa doing, and that he had no hard feelings at all toward Owen. Owen was mighty nice about it and said there waa no attempt at a fight or an argunynt, and that he thought that Mcdwlck had done what he did In the excitement. It waa the crowd that wanted to fight, not the ballplayers. The Tigers put up a fine fight and darn It, 1 did feel sorry for 'em In their dress ing room. Nobody slapping 'em on the back, In fact, nobody In there but them, dame Mickey Cochrane sitting there Just removing bandaga after bandage from almost all over himself. Real he men In a he man's game, with almost tears In their eyes, but not squawking. They Just said "Old Die' had everything." I can applaud a winner as loud as anybody, but somehow a loser appeals to me. Over in the St. Louis dressing room It was a madhouse. "Dleev" had on one of those Indian helmets, and ft stuffed rubber tiger by the tall. He says : "Will, the championship re mains In Oklahoma." "Pepper" Mar tin and all the others Just plain nutty. It's been a great series. 1 used to know all the old time players and It was like a reunion for me. Dizay" ain't dlray, and "Daffy" ain't daffy. They are plenty smart and fine boys.
