SCREENING CHARGE
Maj. Brown Differs With Jus
tice Proctor on Numbers
Racket Protection.
Maj. Ernest W. Brown, superintend
ent of police, today challenged the
contention of District Court Justice
James M. Proctor that the chief figures
In the numbers game are protected
from arrest by the "little fellows,”
usually runners.
Brown pointed to the arrests and
conviction of Sam Beard and his 12
associates and of Dutch Irwin and five
colleagues on gambling charges as evi
dence the "big shots” are being appre
. bended. He said:
"Uijder the circumstances, I think
we have the gambling situation pretty
well in hand. To strengthen our hand
we need the passage of the gaming bill
pending in Congress now.”
Provision of Proposed Law.
Present law requires police to pro
duce in court as witnesses for the
Stat$ one or more persons who made a
play with the alleged gambler. Brown
6aid. The pending legislation, passed
twice by the Senate but rejected by
the House, would permit the Govern
ment to rest its case on exhibits of
policy slips and gambling parapher
nalia.
Maj. Brown questioned Justice
Proctor's application of the definition
“little fellow” to the runner, who col
lects the bets and makes 10 per cent
on the winnings of his clientele.
"A 10-cent bet might seem pretty
email,’' Brown said, “but that doesn’t
mean that the man handling 10-cent
bets is a small operator. When the
runner is brought into court, he is
Usually charged with having accepted
one bet and there is one witness, the
bettor, against him.
"But the runner probably accepted
a hundred or more other 10-cent bets
during the day. Nothing is said about
that in court. The emphasis is on the
one 10-cent gamble, a fact which dis
torts the situation so that the runner
6eems like small potatoes."
Open Drive on Racket.
Police opened a major drive on the
numbers racket last July 28, resulting
In vigorous activity which centered
around a search for the culprits in
the shooting of Joseph E. O'Brien, a
crime believed motivated by a gang
sters' quarrel.
The attention of the special investi
gation squad headed by Capt. George
Little, in charge of gambling law
enforcement, however, was soon di
verted by campaigns against pinball
machines and claw machines.
Police made an average of two raids
* month' on suspected numbers divi
sion headquarters last year, and when
their campaign was most intensive
discovered two bo*, one 5 and an
other 1, acting as go-between for
’ bettor and runner.

Girl Is Lured to Her Death
By Fascination for Trains
Marjorie Longley Torn
From Side of Chum
as She Wtdks Tracks.
One of the speeding passenger trains
which so often had thrilled 14-year-old
Marjorie Longley as they thundered
by hurled her to her death late yes
terday.
The* Paul Junior High School stu
dent and a chum, Evelyn Byers, 13,
were “walking the rails" of the Balti
more & Ohio Railroad tracks at Terra
Cotta when they saw a north-bound
train approaching.
The girls were unaware that a
south-bound express from Cumber
land, Md.. was speeding down the track
behind them at more than 70 miles
an hour.
Waves to Engineer.
Marjorie, the only child of Mr. and
Mrs. John D. Longley, 607 Quackenbos
street, was waving gayly to the en
gineer of the north-bound train, a
witness said, when the other engine
hurled her from the tracks.
Evelyn, who lives at 612 Quintana
place, near Marjorie's home, and is
the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. H.
Byers, was on a side track, within a
few feet of her chum, when the acci
dent occurred.
Evelyn told police she did not know
whether Marjorie was concentrating
on "walking the rails” at the time or
waving to the trainmen. She said
Marjorie had a fondness for trains,
and they sometimes walked along the
tracks to watch the engines and cars
whirl by.
The two girls had gone for a walk
after school. Evelyn said it was the
farthest they had ever hiked down the
tracks. The accident occurred at a
point about two miles from the girls'
homes, near the Farragut street north
east overpass and a mile north of the
Bates road crossing.
At the bates crossing last Friday
one man was killed and another fa
tally injured when a train demolished
their sedan. The train which killed
the girl yesterday was brought to a
halt near the same crossing. An in
quest will fee held in the Bates road
deaths at 11:30 a.m. tomorrow, but
Coroner A. Magruder MacDonald de
clared the girl’s death "accidental.”
Girls Sighted on Tracks.
Safety signals guarded the halted
train from possible collision from the
rear while police interviewed the en
gineer. The officers said the engineer
estimated his speed at about “75 miles
an hour” at the time he sighted the
girls on the tracks.
The engineer, Jacob Schroder of
| Cumberland, said he applied his brakes
and sounded the whistle. Witnesses
said the whistles of both trains seemed
to be blowing.
The two trains passed each other
near the point where Marjorie was
struck, and this circumstance appar
ently prevented either from hearing
the train coming up behind them.
Evelyn was taken to No. 12 precinct
station, where she sobbed out the
story of the accident before her par
ents came to take her home.
MARJORIE LONGLEY,
Killed.
EVELYN BYERS,
Witness.
Marjorie's father, a lumber sales
man, today was confined to his bed in
a serious condition, having suffered a
heart attack when he learned of his
daughter’s death. The Rescue Squad,
summoned last night when he col
lapsed at his home, found him un
conscious. He was revived with the
aid of an oxygen tent and is now In
the care of the family physician.
Sabotage
(Continued From First Page.)
bench the Kingsland explosion orig
inated.
During the long hearings that fol
lowed, the American side unfolded a
detective novel-like story of German i
espionage. It was alleged a German
agent maintained a “germ laboratory”
in nearby Montgomery County, Md.;
that stevedores in Baltimore were
bribed to inoculate live stock with
anthrax germs before shipment to
France; that such articles as pencils
and perfume bottles were used by spies
to secrete combustible chemicals, and
i that a German agent in South Amer
ica received the Iron Crc«s for poison
ing mules shipped to the allies.
There was also introduced in evi
dence a magazine, on the pages of
which was a secret message, capable
of being read only when the pages
were heated.
Justice Owen J. Roberts, acting as
umpire, again ruled in Germany’s
i favor in 1933, holding, among other
things, that the evidence did not prove
that the workman in the Kingsland
plant was a German agent and that
the secret writing in the magazine was
“not authentic.”
Perjured Evidence Charged.
The cases were reopened again a
year ago, when the American Govern
ment offered an affidavit by James
Larkin, Irish labor leader, alleging
knowledge of German espionage in
this country at the time of the explo
sions. Several months later the United
States also charged that Germany had
introduced "perjured” evidence.
Under the recently proposed settle
ments, the brief filed today asserts,
Germany would consent to payment
of the $22,000,000, with the under
standing that this agreement would
not be taken as an admission of guilt
in the sabotage cases. Germany’s sole
object under this plan, the brief
charges, is to terminate the long
drawn-out litigation with money "be
longing to others” and at no cost to
the German government.
The payment of the balance of the
reparations money to the railroad,
foundry and insurance firms would
leave no German funds in this coun
try available for payment of the
Standard Oil, Singer, International
Harvester and other claims, it is ex
plained. These claims, the brief
states, have been "duly proved and
established” and remain partly un
paid. The Mixed Claims Commis
sion has no authority to take the re
maining money and pay claims “al
ready rejected three times,” it is de
clared.
Move to Dismiss Made.
Tlie German agent before the com
mission, Qr. Richard Paulig, has failed
to ratify the proposed settlement, the
brief says, and has moved to dismiss
the foundry concern’s claim on the
ground that It should have been pre
sented through a Canadian commis
sion.
Signing the brief, besides Morris,
were Frank L. Polk, former Assistant
Secretary of State, and Ralph M.
Carson, associate of Polk.
The award holders summarized
their arguments thus:
"1. Petitioners are entitled to inter
vene as a matter of right to protect
their pecuniary Interest in a fund ear
marked for payment of their awards
against impairment by threatened ac
tion clearly in excess of the commis
sion’s jurisdiction and by further de
lays In the determination of the
sabotage claims.
“2. As a matter of discretionn the
petitioners should be allowed to Inter
vene to prevent an assignment by
Germany at a time when Germany is
insolvent from the international point
of view.
"S. The consent of the United States
to such intervention is fixed by the
direction of the State Department to
the American agent, dated November
18, 1936, and is not subject to excep
tion or dimunition by the agent acting
personally.
•‘4. The arguments against inter
vention contained in the American
agent’s brief dated January 14, 1937,
and in the statements and objections
of certain sabotage claimants dated
November 16, 1936, are without merit.”
The Standard Oil. International
Harvester, Singer and allied claims are
based on property seizures by the im- ,
perlal German government during the
war.

front” for the Western World,. Pre
mier King replied:
“It will be very interesting if the
| President proceeds on those lines. 1
i do not, of course, know what the
President plans to bring up.”
Avoids Neutrality Question.
Mr. King sought to steer clear of
any discussion that might involve an
American domestic question and
therefore passed over the neutrality
problem other than to refer to his
own attitude expressed reoently * in
an address to the Canadian Parlia
ment. He pointed out that he came
here at the Invitation of Mr. Roose
velt.
"I wish the relations between all
the nations of the world were Hke
what they are between the United
States and Canada.” said the prime
minister. "It would be a better world
If they were.”
His only comment regarding discus
sion with the President of the St.
Lawrence waterway treaty, which the
Senate refused to ratify in 1934, was:
“If the President includes every
thing relating to the hemisphere, we
will get to that.”
Premier King did not know defi
nitely when he will leave Washington
for & week of rest At an undetermined
place on the Atlantic Coast.
Discussing the visit of the prime
minister, the President said at his
press conference today that they would
talk about a variety of subjects.
King will arrive at the White House
late In the afternoon and will be re
ceived Informally by the President,
after which tea will be served. The
President has arranged for them to
dine alone and afterward to confer in
his study.
King will leave the White House
some time during the forenoon tomor
row to become a guest at the Canadian
Legation here.
Earlier in the day the Canadian
Minister held a press conference at
the Canadian Legation.
This is not Mr. King’s first visit to
the White House during the Roosevelt
administration. He was a house guest
more than a year ago, and he and the
President are understood to have
formed a warm personal friendship.
Premier King said he had been in
vited by the Chief Executive to "talk
over matters of mutual Interest to the
United States and Canada.”
Officials were silent on what these
matters were, but there was snecula
tlon that Mr. Roosevelt had de*.. mined
to press the 8t. Lawrence treaty issue
at this session and wished by personal
conversations to determine the Can
adian attitude.
Observers believed trade policies and
the international situation in general
also would be discussed.

STEL PRICES RISE
AFTER PAY BOOSTS
Increased Cost of Raw Ma
terials Also Big Factor
in Advance.
B7 the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, March 6—United
States Steel, two-billion-dollar giant
of the booming steel industry, passed
along to the consumer today the wage
increase it granted employes three
days ago.
William A. Irwin, president of the
corporation whose employes on March
18 will receive a 10 per cent pay
boost for a 40-hour week, said “sharp
rises in supplies and raw materials"
also had their part in advancing prices
$3 to (8 a ton, effective today.
The epochal wage agreement signed
Tuesday by Benjamin P. Pairless,
president of Carnegle-Illinols Steel
Corp.—United States Steel’s biggest
subsidiary—reduced the work week
eight hours and provided time-and-a
half pay lor overtime.
One discordant note sounded in the
harmony that enveloped the industry:
The meeting in Pittsburgh of partisans
of the so-called “company unions” to
discuss possibility of setting up a
rival union to combat John L. lewis’
Committee for Industrial Organiza
tion.
Materials’ Increase Cited,
Irvin, in making the announcement
of the new prices, said that "although
advances to labor In the matter of
higher wages and shorter hours are
a compelling factor, a price increase
was inevitable due to the fact that
quotations of scrap iron constituting
40 per cent of the make-up of steel
have risen from $14.96 per ton to
$19.88 since February 1, 1936.
"This 32 per cent rise in the cost
of this principal item of manufac
ture has been accompanied by in
creases of over 60 per cent in the cost
ol copper, 50 per cent for lead and
zinc, 20 per cent for refactories and
corresponding increases in the cost
of coal, limestone, etc.”
Typical increases Included stand
ard rails from 839 to $42.50 a ton
and sheet bars from $34.50 to $37.50
i. ton.
Financial circles foresaw the an
nouncement as presaging a general
Increase throughout the industry, just
as most producers fell in line with the
trend toward higher wages,
x Upsurge Continues.
The upsurge in the industry, mount
ing steadily for months, was strongest
in recent weeks, lifting operations to
the highest level since October, 1929.
Observers had attributed this to ef
forts to place orders before the new
prices were posted.
Some sheet mills in the Pittsburgh
district have backlogs which run as
high as 20 weeks, sufficient to carry
them through the second quarter.
Some sizes are not obtainable In less
than 15 weeks.
Most of this business, steel men
said, was taken on the basis of prices
in effect at the time of shipment, so
that the mills will obtain the benefit
of the Increases. Sheet price advances
posted today ranged from $5 to $8 a
ton.
The new quotations bring the gen
eral level of steel orices slightly higher
thin prevailed in 1926. The basic
labor rate In Pittsburgh then was 44
cents an hour; Tuesday's boost raises
it to o2'/2 cents.
PAY BOOSTS ANNOUNCED.
Alabama Steel Firms Raise Wages
<3,000,000 Annually.
BIRMINGHAM. Ala., March 5!
(4>).—Steel wage increases of approxi- i
mately <3.000,000 annually for 16,500 j
employes of the Tennessee Coal, Iron
& Railroad Co. and the Woodward
Iron Co. were announced here yes
terday.
Industrial circles waited expectantly j
for similar moves by other firms.
Both announcements said a 40-hour j
week would become effective with the
pay hike March 16. Time and a half
wUl be paid for overtime.
The T. C. I., United states Steel
subsidiary and largest Southern steel
maker, increased wages by a minimum
of 7 cents per hour, with some workers
given a flat 10 per cent hike. Approx
imately 15,000 are affected, not includ
ing coal miners, whose contract ex
pires March 31.
Woodward, a merchant iron con
cern, announced a boost of 7 cents
per hour for employes paid less than
70 cents per hour. Others will Jje in
creased 10 per cent. As in the case of
T. C. I., coal miners were not included.
The raise affected approximately 1,200
persons.
Salaried employes of both concerns
shared in the raise. In industrial
quarters some believed the move would
create a minimum of 2,000 additional
]obs in various plants and operations.

U. S. EMBASSY REPORTS.
Describes Attack on La Guardia In
Berlin Press.
BERLIN, March 5 (A*).—The United
States Embassy today transmitted to
Washington a full report on strictures
against Mayor Fiorella La Guardia
and “crime conditions” in New York
appearing in Der AngriR. the news
paper of Dr. Paul Joseph Goebbels,
German minister of propaganda and
public enlightenment.
The embassy made no comment on
Its report, forwarded to the State De
partment.
Der AngrifT, which yesterday filled
columns—as did other newspapers—
with a stormy attack on Mayor La
Guardia personally for his "Hall of
Horrors” remark before a meeting of
Jewish women, today ran a series of
news photos intended to show New
York and the United States as “the
land of freedom—for all gangsters.”
One picture showed a manacled
prisoner, “bank robber No. 1” • • • j
“who has not yet reached the stage |
of Mayor or Governor.”
Another photograph purported to
depict the family of a New York
slayer “kneeling at the gates of Sing
Sing” to giw» thanks to “Jehovah and
his faithful servant, the Jew Gov.
Lehman.” for saving the kinsman
from the electric chair.
The newspaper said Gov. Herbert
Lehman. “La Guardia's bosom friend,”
had seen to it that the man. whom
AngriR identified as a subway hold-up
killer, “was allowed to remain alive.”
Der AngriR, in another place, as
sailed the “shilly shally" treatment of
the La Guardia case by the Washing
i ton State Department, “which incites
La Guardia to ever new insults and
earmarks this (New York) as a State
i in which 12,000.00 humane have no
other liberty except that of dying
silently of hunger in the gutter.”
The new Nazi press outburst against
La Guardia resulted from his sugges
tion before the Jewish women’s meet
ing in New York Wednesday that the
1939 New York World Fair have a
‘ Hall of Horrors,” the chief figure in
which would be "that brownshirted

SALISBURY. Md„ March 5.—Pinal
disposition of the Eastern Shore’s
celebrated "Trader Case" depended
today upon an autopsy report expected
to establish definitely whether Mrs.
Jeannette B. Trader was poisoned.
The 37-year-old mother of three
children, who was charged with the
murder of her husband, died - in a
hospital here Wednesday and prose
cuting officials ordered a post-mortem
examination and inquest to "avoid
any possible criticism" in connection
with her death.
The inquest was postponed indefi
nitely until a Baltimore laboratory
reports to the coroner's jury results of
an analysis of Mrs. Trader's vital
organs.
Funeral services for Mrs. Trader will
be held today. She will be buried in
the Presbyterian cemetery at Stock
ton, where she and her husband lived.
Her grave will adjoin that of Clarence
J. Trader, for whose slaying January
14 she was indicted by a special grand
Jury.____
