London. April 14. Ambassador
Andrew W. Mellon Thursday night
broke a lance with Socialism, calling
on tne combined economic and dip
lomatic power of Great Driiain and
the I'nited States to lead the world
to better times with a renewed vision
of the benefits of the present eco
nomic system.
Mellon drank toa.sts in cham
pagne to King George and Presi
dent Hoover as guest of honor at the
annual banquet of the Pilgrims so
ciety. The new American envoy
spoke to an audience of more than
400, among them the prince of Wales
and 11 ambassadors.
Ambassador Mellon declared:
"I do not believe in any
quick, spectacular remedies for
the ills from which the world
is suffering. Capitalism hp.s its
defects of course, but it is in
its infancy."
The banquet took place in the Vic
toria hotel. The menu was a .simple
one, consisting of heirs d'oiMivre, soup.
met of foic. saddle of lamb, and
dessert. The wines included 1U21
champagne, 1SIK5 liquors and brandy.
King George sent a personal mes
Fage to the Pilgrims and Ambassa
dor Mellon.
Washington. April 14. Amidst
continued ac tivity at the oapitol and
the White house to invigorate busi
ness, hugeno Meyer the federal re
serve board governor let a house
committee know today that the Re
construction corporation has ad
vanced loans to 1,319 banks.
In his testimony, he said 9U per
cent of this cash has gone to banks
in cities of less than 100 thousand
population and 7fi per cent in towns
of less than 10 thousand. He did not
name the amount involved.
"I don't like to prophesy and
promise," he said, "but I hope with
all the things that are being done,
while we will not stop the effect of
losses already suffered, we have
made and will make some contribu
tion to recovery with your help."
"There has been about 250 mil
lion dollars in hoarded money releas
ed as nearly as we can make it,"
Meyer raid.
He reminded the committee that
the board has embarked upon a pol
icy of buying government securities
in substantial quantities so as to in
crease credit, and remarked that it
always took business and commodity
prices some time to show the effect
of increased money.
Meyer disapproved the Goldsbor
ough bill, which the committee is
considering, to direct the federal re
serve board and banks to stabilize
wholesale commodity prices at the
predeflation level.
Meanwhile, the Glass banks bill
revised to meet some of the objec
tions of Governor Meyer and bank
ers from the west and south was re
ported today to the senate banking
committee by a subcommittee. No
action was taken today but the full
committee agreed to meet again Sat
urday to consider it.
Under the revised draft, instead
ot aiDltrarily restricting loans on
collateral in the bill, the federal re
Ferve board would be given discre
tion to regulate such loans.
Columbus O., April 14. A terrific
explosion shattered Ohio's new nix
million dollar state office building
here late today, killing five men and
injuring at least 57 others. Property
damage was estimated at seve ral mil
lions of dollars.
A careful checkup of working lists
by contractor late today revealed one
known workman mif-sing. Whether
others vere buried in the d oris
could not be determined for at lea:st
another 12 hours.
As soon as lire that followed in
the wake of the blast was extinguish
ed, every agency at the command of
the state was bent toward determin
ing the cause of the disaster. A
theory that high explosives caused
the blast was advanced by T. S.
Prindle, state superintendent of pub
lic works, as he made a survey of
the nearly completed white marble
13-story structure.
Aided by county and city author
ities, state officials gathered at the
scene ot tne mast and opened a prone ,
in an effort to determine the cause.
Workmen ind fire department of
ficials were agreed that the explo
sion was not caused by natural or
sewer gas.
Theory of Sabotage.
Bundle said the investigating ex
perts would proceed on the theory
that the explosion was an act of
sabotage.
Prindle said the sabotage theory
was decided upon because of the evi
dence that the explosion was un
usually powerful. The blast reach
ed from the basement of the white
marble structure to tho eleventh
floor, and investigators said the de
bris indicated the explosion result
ed from powder.

BONUS BILL HOPEFUL
TEL 7rj7L
Washington. April 14. A hou?e
vote on cashing the two billion dol
lar soldiers' bonus virtually was con
ceded by democratic leaders. After
another ways and means committee
hearing h Id under police guard be
cause of disorders created by a com
munist group lie preventative Itain-
have ey, the democratic leader, said:
caused the de?truction was denied
by II. K. Dodd, head of the depart
ment of mines at Ohio state univer
sity. He said "it would have been
impossible for enough gas to collect
without being detected. I never
hearel of marble dust explosion."
Like War-Torn Fort.
One lire department official, fa
miliar with explosives, said it seem
ed to him that nitroglycerine had
been set off in the southwest base
ment of the building.
"A house vote seems assured. Ad
vocates claim enough votes to pass
the bill. Maybe they have them, but
I believe the opponents are making
headway."
Lven then, Eugene Mayer, gover
nor of the federal reserve board, and
chairman of the Reconstruction Fi
nance corporation, was assailing the
plan for issuing new currency to pay
the bonus as "dangerous."

SHOT DURING A MOCK PLAY
NO OBJECTION TO INQUIRY
Albany. Governor Roosevelt,
whei usually refers questions as to
his campaign for the presidential
nomination to State Chairman Far
ley, took cognizance of Senator Rob
inson's demand for an investigation
of Roosevelt expenses, declaring:
"If there is anything to investigate
let them go ahead and investigate."

Fresno, Calif. Mock gun play
planned as a "stunt" at the Fresno
American Lecion post meeting re
sulted in wounding of Dr. Walter M
Thorne, Fresno physician, by a de
puty sheriff who mistook tin? "act"
for a serious quarrel. Thorne will
recover. As previously arranged.
Felix Holcomb began a tirade against
those he said had accused him of
misappropriating Legion funds, linnl-
ly naming Dr. Thorne as his licenser.
As the "quarrel" reached n climax
in walked Deputy Sheriff Chandler.
He sat down j?car Dr. Thorne. Hol
comb and Thorne drew revolvers and
Holcomb opened fire with a blank
cartridge?, which was a signal to
the stage manager to turn out the
lights.
Deputy Sheriff Chandler not sus
pecting the fake, grabbed Dr. Thorne
around the legs and tried to clutch
the hand holding the gun. The loc
tor, thinking Chandler was helping
make the show more realistic, strug
gled with the officer, who drew his
own gun and fired.
PROBE MISSIONARY'S DEATH
Warsaw. The body of Mrs. Grace
Mott, a Baptist missionary from
New York city, was found in her
apartment, the throat deeply slash
ed. In her hand police found a tuft
of hair apparently pulled from the
head of the person who killed her.
A small cash box in Mrs. Mott's
wardrobe had been rifled. Wrhen the
killing was first discovered police
thought it had been done by a re
ligious fantic, but when they found
the' cash box they decided robbery
was the motive. Two weeks ago two
children were killed in the same
neighborhood and in the same way.
A post mortem was ordered. -
