By EDWARD W. PICKARD IF PROSPERITY can be restored by the united, effort of Individ oali the business and Industrial conference con-ference In Washington should have marked results. The 300 men who participated par-ticipated pledged themselves to work along these lines: To spread - em ployment by shortening short-ening the hours of each worker ; to stimulate capital expenditures by Industry; In-dustry; to expand employment and repair re-pair and replacement replace-ment work on the railroads; to stimu Hsnry M. Robinson late borne Improvement and repair; U assist home owners In carrying their mortgage burdens; to make credit affirmatively useful by making mak-ing It available to those entitled te It The central committee named to carry out this program Is headed by Henry M. Robinson of Los Angeles, An-geles, a white-haired banker and lawyer who has been one of President Pres-ident Hoover's closest friends and snofflclal advisers and who has previously pre-viously served the public In various capacities, notably as a member of the commission that formulated the Dawes plan. It Is said In Wash ington that Mr. Robinson may soon be known as the Colonel douse of the Hoover administration. Of the sub-committees named at the conference, the first to get Into action was that on spreading employment. em-ployment. Its chairman, Walter C. Teagle, president of the Standard OH Company of New Jersey, said the committee Intends to educate Industry In-dustry to do the most convenient thing to be worked out from the various methods already devised and operated by nearly 400 companies com-panies throughout the country, wblcb reported to the unemnjoy-' aient relief organization In the course of its study of the program and Its application to Industry. . Dispatches received In Washington Washing-ton from all parts of the country indicate in-dicate that the conference already was having ao effect on the revival f Industry, and the news from ' hanks was especially cheerful MONTAQD a NORMAN, governor gov-ernor of the Banket England came over to this country recently as "Prof. Clarence Skinner," ostensibly osten-sibly to spend a vacation In Maine. But It was not long before he was In New York consulting with some of our leading bankers, and then It was officially admitted In Washing-ten Washing-ten that be would "see or communicate commu-nicate with" Ogden L. Mills, secretary secre-tary of the treasury. In the minds of many this made It certain that the main object of Mr. Norman's visit was to discuss war debts. It also probably had to do with Britain's Brit-ain's return to the gold standard In T033. this being dependent on the settlement of the wor debts and reparations rep-arations and the lowering of world tariff barriers.

Staley at Albany ruled In the Walker case that Governor Roosevelt Roose-velt bad the authority to sit In Judgment Judg-ment oo the mayor, and that the court could not Interfere In the executive ex-ecutive acta of the- governor. However, How-ever, he also ruled that court action might be taken after the governor1 has given bis decision on the Walker Walk-er ouster charges, provided the mayor's three constitutional defense de-fense had been violated. These safeguards, the court said, were: That the mayor must bave been given a "fair trial" by the governor. A fair trial, Staley explained, gave the mayor the right to cross-examine the witnesses on whose testimony testi-mony the charges against him were based.. That the removal was "only for cause, and for a cause relating to some act or omission which amounts to official misconduct or violation of public trust, or one that Involves moral turpitude." That the "act or neglect" Justifying Justify-ing the removal must have occurred "during the tens which the officer Is serving. The "trial" of tb,e mayor was resumed re-sumed by Governor Roosevelt on Friday, having been postponed until un-til then because of the death of a brother of Mr. Walker. UNLESS late returns from the Democratic run-off primary np-set np-set present figures, "Ma" Ferguson wlllVbe governor of Texas again. At this writing she has a rather slight lead over Gov. Ross S. Sterling. Ster-ling. The vote had veered and swayed from the Incumbent, to Mrs. Ferguson In such dramatic manner that A. F. Hennlng, head of the Texas election bureau, declined to forecast either the possible outcome out-come of the race or the probable total to-tal 'vote. The returns were still to be canvassed can-vassed by the county committees and then by the state committees. ONE 'after another the state conventions con-ventions of the American Legion Le-gion are disregarding the ndvlce of the leaders of the Legion andadopt-Ing andadopt-Ing resolutions call ing for immediate' payment of the veterans' vet-erans' bonus Infill. The meeting of the New York Legion, In Brooklyn, was enlivened by an almost al-most violent demonstration dem-onstration against F. Trubee Davison, assistant secretary of war for aviation and now an Aspirant Aspi-rant fortheRepub 11 can nomination F. Trubee Davison for governor of New York. Mr.' DavlBon, defending the federal fed-eral administration for the use of force In expelling the bonus army from Washington, charged that many members of the B. E. F. in the National Capital were "tramps and hoodlums" possessing fake military mil-itary discharges that were produced by a "Communist-owned diploma mill." His speech was frequently Interupted by loud Jeers and boos and cries of "put him out." and Anally It was necessary to call the police reserves to restore order. GOVERNOR'S May at Seagirt. New Jersey, was taken by Franklin D. Roosevelt as the occasion oc-casion for bis first campaign speech on the prohibition question, and what he said to his 150,000 listeners listen-ers was highly pleasing to the wet Democrats. Some of the Republican Republic-an leaders, on the other hand, called It old stuff and ludicrous; and It did not have the approval of the Prohibitionists. After speaking a good word for genuine temperance, Mr. Roosevelt dealt with the "tax burden" that prohibition has brought declaring "the only business In the country that was not helping to support the government was In a real sense be Ing supported by this government." Describing the Republican plat forro...as "long. Indirect Insincere and false." the governor compared Its stand on prohibition repeal with "the concise sincerity of eur own platform." "The Democratic party squarely met the issue," said the governor. whlle the Republican admlnlstra-J tlon attempted to evade and con-, fuse the Issue." j I rtna.K major eonmtlOM en which It will make loans for self-Jlquldatlng self-Jlquldatlng projects were announced oj the Reconstruction Finance corporation cor-poration board.

Amons the minor conditions are the barring of convict labor; limitation of labor to 30 hours a week and giving pref- ere n re to war veterans with dependants. de-pendants. MAT10NAL arr races at Cleve- land were almost disrupted at the start because the aviators learned that the prizes for the closed events had been reduced to 28 per cent of tbelr advertised value, But the Irers finally gave v '.

He then continued to New York, establishing a new transcontinental trans-continental record of 10 hours 19 minutes. IOWA farmers engaged In tne "strike for hlcher prices" were being Investigated by a grand Jury In Council Bluffs which was in structed to Inquire Into wilful obstruction obstruc-tion of property and Intimidation of truck drivers. The "holiday" movement, move-ment, started by C P. Savery and other leaders, meanwhile was losing Its peaceful aspect and there were conflicts between the pickets and sheriffs' pos Savery se e s at various points. Generally the officers had the best of it, but not always. Near Cushlng, Iowa, a force of fifty deputies depu-ties that undertook to escort five truckloads of bogs was attacked by hundreds of farmers armed with lead pipes and sticks, and eleven deputies were Injured. The aroused sheriff declared the picket lines would be broken. It Is noteworthy that many of the members of the late bonus army have entered the fray on the side of the striking farmers. ENGLAND was confronted with one of the worst strikes of recent re-cent years when more than 125,000 cotton weavers in Lancashire quit work because of a wage cut and working conditions. While most of "the mills were forced to closed some continued with depleted staffs and others, which made private arrangements arrange-ments with the workers, operated at full capacity. The leaders of he weavers' union estimate that the walkout was two-thirds effective on the first day and believe it will spread to all the mills. A direct , appeal to King George to Intervene through the government govern-ment In the dispute was sent to Balmoral Bal-moral by Joe Conipton, a former La-borite La-borite member of parliament, who wields great influence In the mill district . .. - s " It appears likely that the 20,000 conductors and drivers of London busses would strike soon because of wage reductions and changes In working conditions ordered by the London General Omnibus company. GERMANY was tremendously excited ex-cited when its parliament met for Adolf Hitler had decided bis 230 Nazi members should not support the Von Papen government At the last moment the chancellor bad luncheon with Hitler and in their discussion the breach between them was widened. Von Papen tlien went quickly to Neudeck, where President Von Ilindenburg was rest Ing on his estate and received fronf him authority to dissolve the reich stag at his discretion, giving him almost dictatorial powers. The aged president told the chancellor he was at liberty to do this if the reichstag tried to vote no confidence In Von Papen's government and Its $T)00,000.000 reconstruction program, which seemed a certainty. This would give the chancellor's regime at least three months further life. The entire German - press fea tures the Neudeck confab as of historic his-toric moment There is no doubt that Von Papen enjoys the presl dent's full confidence and the chancellor chan-cellor will not yield even to a Nazi-Centrist Nazi-Centrist combination unless the president can be shown that such a coalition would set ud a presi dential and ndt a party cabinet and that It would offer a concrete program pro-gram of action, acceptable ,to the majority of the reichstag and at least as good or better than Von Papen's. .'
