Borah Makes
Appeal to Expand
the Currency
Hits Eemand of Veterans for Tall
Payment of the Bonus Raps
Both Candidates.
Malad, Idaho, Oct. 12. Denounc
ing the gold standard dollar of the
present as "not an honest dollar."
Senator William E. Borah tonight
appealed for an expansion of cur
rency to "give the American people
a medium of circulation to replace
that in hoarding."
At the same time, he assailed de
mands of the veterans for full pay
ment cf the bonus, declaring they al
ready had received six billion dlolars
since the war.
He stid he wa3 "not an authority
on the money problem," but had turn
ed to the established authorities on
these matters for guidance.
"What I found was," he said, "that
they knew no more than I did. Eut
they were authorities on the collec
tion of interest."
Voices Plea for Silver.
Voicing a plea for restoration of
silver as a purchasing medium in the
orient, he declared, "Iri all calmness
and deliberation I consider that the
action of the international bankers
in demonetizing silver and virtually
destroying the purchasing power of
over 800 million people was one of
the most brutal acts ever committed
in modern history."
"I have long opposed cancellation
of foreign debts," the senator said,
"but I would not hesitate to trad?
these debts for prosperity for the
American farmer."
Criticizing tho policy ot the fed
eral land banks, he said a bill was
passed by the last congress provid
ing -5 million dollars for banks to
permit a more liberal attitude in
treatment of farmer debtors.
"I have yet to see any evidence of
that liberalization," he said.
Raps Eoth Candidates.
The senator did not mention tho
presidential candidates of either or
tho two major political parties by
iia ne, but rapped at both in his ad
dress.
Ho declared it is not an "honest
dollar which requires three tlme3 as
much produce to buy as it did three
years agofl He appealed for large
lending companies, such as insurance
Qrms, to adjust the farmers debts to
a level where they can nay off. Ha
declared the agricultural debt in Am
erica on paper is 12 billion dollars
but when considered in the light of
the present commodity prices, it is
two times that amount. World-IIer

Mrs. Haning
Tells of Threats
at Liquor Trial
Says Raided Six Times After Re
fusing to Buy Liquor cf
Defendants.
Omaha. Mrs. Louise Vinciyuerra
Haning, upon whom the, police once
bestowed the title "queen of Omaha
bootleggers," returned hero Friday
from the Fremont county jail to
testify a3 a government witness in
the liquor conspiracy trial of Tom
Dennison, political leader, and fifty
eight others.
Mrs. Haning, now serving time in
the Fremont jail on a liquor charge,
testified that Joe Vaccaro, a defend
ant, had told her in May, 1931, that
she would have "to buy from the
company or you can't work in Om
aha." She further testified that she stop
ped buying from Vaccaro and Carl
Mangiamelli, another defendant, in
October of 1931, and that she wan
raided six times in forty days there
after. On each occasion, she said,
the raiders were led by Joe I'otach,
then a police sergeant and now a de
fendant. In the morning session, Joe Man
dolfo. confessed bootlejrser. was on
the stand for the government. Under
a rain of defense objections, nearly
all overruled, Mandolfo told of re
ceiving an invitation to join the al
leged syndicate. His testimony was
in tho main directed against Alfio
Laferia, defendant, whom he said
tendered the invitation.
At the start of the afternoon ses
sion, Dennison, seventy-two years
old, complained of being "very tired.''
"I hope I don't have another
stroke," he remarked. He had sought
a postponement of the trial on
grounJ3 of ill health. The trial will
be resumed Monday.
Must Confine Charges.
Late in the day. Judge James W.
Woodrough ruled in effect that the
prosecution will not be permitted to
introduce into the picture any mur
ders or acts of violence and must con
fine itself to the indictment and the
overt acts alleged therein.
His ruling came after the govern
ment had called to the witness stand
Don L. Kooken, who was brought to
Omaha by Roy Towl, then police
commissioner as chief invastigator
of the Harry Lwpidus murder.
EJcon Smith of the prosecution
handed to Kooken for identification
a letter and two other documents, j
It was indicated that the letter was I
the one mentioned in the prosecu-l
tion's opening statement as having
been written by Tom Crawford, chief
government witn-ess, at the iiisti
nation of Dennison to be mailed back
to Omaha police and containing
threats against Lapidus. The gov
eminent contends that at the time
the letter wan written Crawford was
a trusted lieutenant of Dennison.
The defense entered objections to
the introduction of the letter and
Judge Woodrough, sending tho jury
from the room, declared he could
not sco why any testimony or evi
dence bearing on acts of violence or
other matter not contained in the
indictment should be permitted.
The prosecution fought hard to re
tain the evidence and declared it
would submit a brief in behalf of
their point. The judge declared he
would be glad to have further infor
mation on tho point but for the time
being ruled out of the cvidonce.
