they would not be much use to us in this inquiry. You may as well know they are not blank cards in the ques? tions you are going to answer." "Oh," said Hettrick, "the onlv reV son I am asking is this: My mail has been robbed down at the office and if you arc using any of those ca?da from that robbed mai-ii it is my duty to warn you in reference to that." "Let me say this to yo,u, Mr. Hettrick," responded Mr. Untermyer, "if you are not engaged in an illegitimate business you have nothing to fear. I don't know how these cards were got, but I think you will afiree with me they are very significant, won't you, and very interesting? ?-".specially on the question of attorney and client?" "Yes sir," came the answer. Story of the Uolorei Cards Then followed a series of questions that brought out the following facts. The cards in question were of various colors, two colors being used for each trade. On these cards, the clients of Mr. Hettrick were identified solely by number and no names appeared upon them. He admitted that when a job was to be contracted for, as in the case of the j.lumbers, the contractors advised him (Hettrick) by mailing one of the green cards. He replied by mailing back a pink card. Before submitting bids a copy of the proposed bid was forwarded to Hettrick, who advised his clients. "Now, suppose these men bid for a plumbing job, and they send down to you and" you send back cards, you do not get any plans or specifications. How can you know what amount of plumb? ing work is involved in that?" he was asked. I "If five men bid $25,000 and one man comes in with $10,000 or $12,000, it puts me on guard." Q. As against the $10,000 man? A. As against him, yes. Q.- Is it the purpose o' your asso? ciation to stop underbidding? A. Not to stop underbidding, nut to s'.op any mistake. Q.?And underbidding is a mistake? A.?No, sir, many tiir.es it is not a mis? take. Oftentimes they would take Bpecifications and eliminate pages from specifications ami give one contractor the job?I am going to hand you this job, and they give him a big set of specifications. Q.~ It is to protect your clients against the rapacious, deceitful people? A.?Thank you. Very much accurately stated. Mr. Hettrick admitted in genera! terms that the plumbers of the Master numbers' Association, who were his clients, had done a business in the neighborhood of $4,000,000 last year. and that he received 1 per cent. Further severo questioning brought frem him the admission that all the trades operating under the Code of ? Practice paid another 3 per cent of gross earnings into what he termed an insurance again the hundred evils that beset their business. He further ad? mitted this fund had been distributed among the members, bul could not re? member how many times, ff > '.bought the last time it was :-i the neighbor? hood of 310,000. He stated this ar? rangement had saved several firms from bankruptcy during the war. To Identify Firms Coming back to the different colored cards, "Mr. Untermyer asked the wit? ness: "Did you number them be.cau.se you knew it, was an unlawful scheme to throttle competition and protect your? self against detection?" "I resent, the imputation," the wit? ness replied. He was then asked what linns the numbers referred to, and finally agreed to produce them to-day, During this part of the examination Mr. Untermyer 'asked him if he knew the numbers of the following firms: ,1. S. Murphy Com? pany, and if that company's number was 8; Eugene Detlauer, Fallin & Ale Call and John K. Wild, but the witness replied he did not remember them. At this point Mr. Untermyer began to bring out testimony on the alleged uptown clearing house for the bidding system. It developed that the office of the Code of Practice of the limestone con? tractors had been moved from Hot trick's office in the Singer Building to nn office which he finally designated as 165 West Thirty-first Street, after Vgucly referring to it as being in the Thirties. He stated that he had never been in the office, but that a Miss Annan was in charge of it and that he had only met her once in his lifetime. Ho said that tie had not initiated her into the wu. :---s of the code. Ho said her sal? ary was paid by the Greater New York Cut Stone Contractors' Association and ? that he got a I per cent fee on all the work of his clients in the association. Mr. Hettrick was very particular throughout his testimony to emphasize the fact that the members of the asso? ciations were individual clients. He also admitted that copies of reports go both to his office and that of Miss Annen. Hettrick was, finally excused for the day, after he had promised to bring down copies of the cod?- of practice for all three bodies of contractors. During the period that Robert P. Brindell was on the stand, Mr. Unter? myer elicited the fact that the build? ing at 12 St. Mark's Place, in which the Building Trades Council and other la? bor unions meet, was owned by his wife and had been turned over to her by himself. Mr. Untermyer also tried to draw a similar admission concern? ing a summer house at Lake George, but the witness refused to answer. May Prosecute as a Trust Concerning the 50 cents per capita a month that Driudell draws from the Dock Builders' Union as business man? ager, Mr. Untermyer said: "From this single union you make over $30,000 a year, don't you?" But the witness re? fused to answer. Brindell had a hard fight with Unter? myer when the latter began to question him about his early life. "Is this a hearing on the housing question or an inquisition into me personally?" he de? manded. The hearing was adjourned until 10 o'clock this morning, when the exam? ination of Hettrick will be continued. It was staled that if the evidence produced warrants it action will be taken under the Donnelly anti-trust laws of the state. ?Violators of Volstead Law To Be Imprisoned Federal Judges Announce Jail Sentences Will Be Imposed in Cases Since June il Jail sentences will be imposed upon all who have violated the prohibition law since June 8, Federal Judge Julius M. Mayer announced in the Criminal Branch of the Federal District Court yesterday before the calling of the cal? endar. He said this policy has been ?greed upon by Federal Judges Learned Hand, Augustus N. Hand and John C. Knox, and would result in a more uniform punishment of offenders. Judge Mayer said that a general policy of leniency prevailed before the constitutionality of the Volstead act had been tested. People had had a chance to know the law by this time, he declared, and henceforth violators would be dealt with more severely. Some leniency would be shown, how? ever, he said, in cases where defend? ants pleaded guilty. The first offenders to be arraigned before Judge Mayer were Charles Rubin, a saloonkeeper, and his son, Morris. They pleaded guilty to selling whisky and the father was sentenced to ten days' imprisonment and the son I %o five.

Houston Sets Need foi 1921 At 4 Billions (Continued Jrom pane ont) : tended. Betweeh the armistice and October 1. 1920, the loans and invest? ments of all banks, it is estimated, in? creased more than $7,000,000,000, and ' Federal Reserve notes more than $740, 01 0,000. "A little while ago, it appears, the cresl of the wave of high costs, of i credit expansion and high prices | passed. Labor troubles seemed to be decreasing, industrial conditions to be ; in the process or adjustment and the wav to he ononintr, to more normal ac? tivities." }]ere the Secretary made an easy ' transition, which gave him a chance to take a thrust at the farmers who last week sought to have the government, : underwrite high prices for their prod ; iir's. "Scarcely,' he asserted, "had the ; tendency towgfrd a reduction of the cost of living manifested itself when counter forces began to operate, Re ! sistance on the part of the producer was immediately manifested. Every ; producer is willing for the products of every other producer to fail,-but pro? tects the decline of his own. "Just, now the chief complaint comes from the producers of agricultural com? modities, and there is no question that they are confronted with serious and real difficulties. In the circumstances ; it seems to some farmers that they are ; in the way of being hit first, if not exclusively. They are naturally dis turbed and distressed, and are seeking relief through measures, some of which are not practical and others of which are suicidal. Many Groups Demobilized "The first impulse of many who are searching for the way out is to turn to the government, and especially to tiie treasury, as the ?sole instrumen? tal:,;.- for lull economic salvation. We have demobilized many groups, bul we hive no; demobilized those whose g r/. > ; i. ccncenl rated on the i reasury. I': the present circumstances producers v. ie.-e products, cannot be satisfactorily, marketed and whose prices are fall? ing are demanding that the treasury intervene. They ask either that it de losit money in certain sections or that ' t.. activities of the War finalice Cor? poration be resumed, Neither of thda'e things is feasible. "During the war forces were set, in i motion which no government could or ?did control. No government proceeded in checking the rising tide of costs and prices, and now with the return of i millions of men to productive activi? ties, with the beginning of more normal conditions everywhere, with the res? toration of better transportation on land and sea, and with the fuller eon . tribution of nations once more to the world's stock of goods, reverse forces ! are operating which ne government eau t h wart. "Several things seem theoretically clear. The first is that those who pro ; duce what, farmers buy should be will? ing to do everything in their power to continue production and to sustain i their fair part of the burden incident i to falling prices. An argument, cer? tainly can be made for the contempo i raneous reduction of the prices of all commodities, and one might be made : for the prior reduction in the prices of manufactured products, since the turn? over in business is rapid, while that of the farmer is seasonal. The second is that nothing be omitted consistent with sound finance to assist in the gradual and orderly marketing of all commo , dities and particularly of the farmers' ? products." Financing Up to Banks Mr. Houston then pointed out that ti.e job of financing is squarely up to ? the member banks, and criticized the 1 habit of a relatively few institutions ? i>t "indulging in the game well known : in Washington of passing the buck and cf ascribing their unwillingness or in? ability to extend loans to the action v\ the Federal Reserve Board. This is as much out of accord with the facts as it is with good ethics." Moving to another subject, the Sec? retary rejected the proposals which , many outsiders have made for refund? ing the various outstanding Liberty bond issues. "fundamental objections to these ; suggestions," he said, "are that refund i inc; is unnecessary, that it would tend j to perpetuate the war debt ?nil would I upset the Treasury's well-considered ' program of debt reduction." In re .-pert to arguments for lower? ing the burden on tax payers. Mr. Houston remarked: "Sound fiscal policy i dictates that the receipts from taxes ?,h(i salvage be kept sufficiently high not only to meet current bills, includ ? ing interest and sinking fund charges, I but also to retire the Heating indebted? ness and a considerable part of the ' Victory notes before the close of the ; fiscal year of 1923. Farlier plans were ; disarranged by the unexpectedly large ; burdens placed on the Treasury by the transportation act. There will lie" paid ; on acconnt of the railroads during the current fiscal year probably $1,000 000.000. "In saying that the aggregate re? ceipts for the government should be ? maintained at a high level for the pur? poses indicated I am by no means com? mitting myself to the existing sched? ules or to specific taxes." The Secretary estimates that at least $4,000,000,000 a year will be needed, : and indicates that the revenue for the I current fiscal year may not exceed I this minimum, compared with receipts of $5,500,000,000 for the year ending June 30, 1920. Bankers Optimistic Further the Secretary dissented from suggestions for canceling any or all of the Allied debt of $10,000,000,000 to the United States Treasury. Men of finance who arc gathered here believe for the most part that the country is returning to normal econom? ically, and that the process, though painful, is bringing the country toward a sounder basis. John S. Drum, president of the Mer? cantile Trust Company, of San Fran? cisco, whom the nominating committee will recommend to the convention to? morrow morning for president of the association, discussed the situation on the Pacific Coast with the 'tribune ? correspondent to-night at the Shore , ham. "The situation in respect to credit 1 control in California," he said, "is much the same as elsewhere in the nation, with this important exception: i We begin marketing our crops in the | late spring and continue through the fall instead of bringing them all to the market at once around this time, of year. "Thus the credit released from the early marketing helps to finance the later movements. I am hopeful re? garding the general outlook, although I am not prepared to predict how long the period of readjustment will last. Out in California we think the process is under control an.i without alarming features." Although many Southern bankers are wrought up over the disappointment of cotton growers resulting from a shrinkage in market value of the crop, some financiers from below the Mason and Dixon Line me envisaging the matter in the broad light of economics. Thomas B. McAda-m?, vice-president of the Merchants' . National Bank of Richmond, is one of these. In an in? terview he said: "The great backlog of financial re? serve strength which was built up in our section during the last fifteen years and particularly the last three will carry us safely through the readjust ment period. The worst of the finan? cial strain is already over. Further lowering of commodity prices will case the demand for funds. Trade in South Dull "Retail and wholesale trade in our slate, Georgia and the Carolinas is exceedingly dull at present, because the farmers are retaining their cotton and tobacco crops instead of selling them at, present depreciated levels. Normally the crops are fast being liquidated at this period of the year, when as a result hank deposits ex? pand about 40 per cent. This fall de? posits are remaining stationary and farmers keep renewing their loans from month to month. "However, I believe that by the next planting season in the spring an ex? tremely large share of these bank loans will have been liquidated, Instead of the usual fast marketing of the crop, the process will be plow this year, af? ter the farmers begin to decide not to pay inter? st and storage charges in the belief that high prices may come later. "The crops are not going to yield the cost of production this year, but the prudent man will be in a position to average up this year with the last three, which were abnormally prosper? ous. Sound times are ahead and we are already in the recuperative stage." Robert Maddox, of Atlanta, former president of the association, takes the view that emergency steps should be taken to help the farmers export half of the cotton crop. Regarding the re? port that he was sponsoring a $25, 000,000 Edge law corporation, he said: "I think it unlikely that this plan will be carried to execution, although we have informally discussed it here." Perhaps it will be possible to do something if the $100,000,000 Kdge law corporation, formation of which the commerce and marine committee will lccommend, is formed, he said. Mr. Mad? dox will confer again with Southern 1 bankers to-morrow afternoon. Eugene Meyer jr., former managing ; director of the War Finance Corpora ; tion, gave his ideas on financing ex ? ports to a group at the Raleigh to 1 night. John H.

Coffee Cofiee without waste look with the Tribune correspondent, said : "Any person who did not expect a recession in prices after the enormous advance must have drawn the conclu? sion that we never were coming back toward a past normal. Most, of us who have been hoping for a decline in the cost of living should be satisfied with what is actually happening to-day, as we are most certainly approaching the : normal of pre-war days. "Milwaukee and Wisconsin, because of the diversified industry in the one and the diversified farming in the other, adding thereto the thrift that is generally practiced then', lind them? selves in a particularly strong posi? tion to meet the problems of this re const ruction period."

Mots Hindi Fut Crowd of 40,000 Eat Burg?o And Cheer Harding's Speech Ohio Fields, Factories and Mines Idle While Pop tllace Joins in Huge Rally and Barbecue at Jackson From a Stuff Correspondent < JACKSON, Ohio, Oct. 20. The in? gredients of burgoo and the economic necessity of a protective tariff were re? vealed to forty thousand farmers, steel workers and miners who, like hungry ants, swarmed around a barbecue trench on a treeless knob in the hills near this town of southern Ohio to hear Senator Larding speak to-day. It was Harding day ? in Jackson, and the Republican Presidential candidat', was the guest of honor and the principal speaker. The country home of Samuel E. Stevenson, an ironmonger of Jackson, was the focal point of ribbonlike dust clouds marking the roads leading from remote sections of Logan- and adjacent counties. Fields, factories, mines and blast furnaces were idle under an Oc? tober sun while "hands," foremen and owners who normally toil on and in them motored, fliwered or walked to? ward the greasy smoke cloud that as? cended from the barbecue trench and the burgoo pit. Both the appetizing odor of roasting oxen and hope of political preferment have lodestone properties. In the ravenous throng that sniffed the pung? ent flavors were individual sniffers V hose names are potent wherever the politics of the present campaign is discussed. Preceding the afternoon speech of Senator Harding, the prominent per ; sonages sought the higher level of the I Stevenson home and enjoyed a buffet j luncheon. Rally Held in Pasture The comfortable habitation of the | host crowns a green hill that com I mands all the hills within a twenty ! mile radius, those that are brilliant with the autumn foliage of trees and those that are the feeding grounds of a few black and white Hol-jtein cattle, ft whs a pasture knoll that served as a theater for the political rally to-day Its outline , curves so far below the summit thai serves as a pedestal foi the Stevenson home that the humar ?atom.'i clustered on it. suggested th< ' inhabitants of a disturbed ant hill A Urge American flag stretched be ? twecn two slender poles marked if a; a gathering for patriotic as well as east ronom ic purposes. On that lower hill Colonel Dudlej Lawrence, of Lexington, Ky., master of the burgoo and chef extraordinary held the attention of the throng. o\ i cepting only when Senator Hardinp | himself descended from the greatei | eminence, reviewed the smoking j spitted joints of beef and mounted tin speaking platform, built of ifcwlj 1 milled boards. That moment saw the beginning ol a cheer that could hardly have beei ! given with more vim if the makers ha< ? not been choked with dust, gorgCi with meat and soggy with burgoo After all, barbecues are of fairly com mon occurrence in the harvest seasot in Ohio, bur it is not more than onci in a lifetime that a man gets to sei and hear an American citizen and sal with anything like certainty that with in two weeks he will be elected Presi? dent. Before the musicians had pursed their lips on the last notes of the final stanza of "The Star-Spangled Hantier" the rest of the platform w.v ? ..vered compactly with the folks from trie higher hill. There was Carmi Thomp? son, once speaker of the Ohio Legis? lature, later Treasurer of the United States under Taft and now director of delegations in the Republican cam? paign organization. Near him stood Myron T. Herrick, former Governor of this President-producing state and Ambassador to France in the fateful year of 1011. Mrs. Longworth Present There was Representative Nicholas Lcngworth, of Cincinnati, and his viva? cious wife, daughter of the late Theo? dore Roosevelt. Harry Daugherty, who first saw Presiden jal timber in War? ren G. Harding, and Daugherty's political shadow, I -ss Smith, were both there and smiling. The vastness of the gathering told be1 er than a straw vote how the political winds were blowing in pivotal Ohio. Others included for? mer Governor Frank B. Willis, now seeking Senator Harding's seat in the upper house, Uncle John- Moorman, a David Harum sort of politician from R'nox, Ind.; Judge Vernon Van Fleet, of South Bend, Ind.. and Rud K. ?iy nicka, national committeeman from Ohio, who is as well known in New York as in < lincinnati, Mrs. Harding was there, too, radi? antly happy and cherishing an arm fui of flowers. There were four others on the plat? form who felt they had a right to make themselves conspicuous. These were Samuel and M. L. Stevenson and John and Edwin Jones, residents of Jackson, who jointly footed the $30,000 bill for the provender consumed by the Gar? gantuan plans of Colonel Dudley Law? rence. Secret of Burgoo Disclosed It was Colonel Lawrence who revealed to the forty thousand eaters the secret of his burgoo, that bubbled in vast ket? tles over tins in a shallow excavation. There were 1,000 pounds of chickens, and telling about them Colonel Law? rence pulled down one of his digits with the aid of two of its fellows on the other hand. There were 25 bushels of ca.b bagc, 15 bushels of onions, To bushels of potatoes. The burgoo master folded i.p a finger as he enumerated each item and the last, he mentioned was 100 bush? els of tomatoes. On those tomatoes rests the blame for the reddish-yellow stains that pigmented the linen and whiskers or the multitude that must be classified for the occasion as voters. Seventy-live cattle, Colonel Lawrence recited, were butchered to provide the scorched and seared joints that per? spiring, coatless helpers turned on spits suspended over embers in a trench 3 feet H inches deep, 3 feet wide and 280 feet long. If was after they had absorbed these details, hav? ing previously consumed most of the subject matter, that the gathering was told by Senator Harding about the tariff and. necessarily, about the .eague of Nations.

Pierre S. du Pont, president of the du Pont Powder Company, in a statement to right, said that. Governor Cox had done the company, as well as Coleman du l'ont, a "gross injustice" in referring in an address at Cleveland Saturday I ?ghl to the methods employed by the Republicans in collecting an alleged "corruption fund of $16,000,000."

In his statement to-night Pierre S. du Pont said: "Were- it not for your prominence and for tile greater promi nencc that yon ^ee',< at the hands of the American people, I should brand the statement a 'malicious lie.'
