Richwine Probe Aug. 16;
801 l Must Bring Books
Further inquiry into the character
and whereabouts of the holdings of
Charles S. 8011, J. N. Deeter and A.
Grant Richwine will be continued Mon
day, August 16, by President Judge
Henry, ot Lebanon, specially sitting foi
the Dauphin county judges.
The probe, which has been instituted
by the Jersey Shore Trust Company,
grows out of the recent expose of the
United Water and Guarantee stock
deals. which involved a number of
water companies. The three defendants
who figure in the action, endorsed cer
tain notes, it was alleged, and in order
to obtain Judgment the Jersey Shore
company is trying to determine what
property, if any. 8011, Deeter and Rich
wine still own. 1
While Richwine will likely be placeu
on the stand at the next session of the
probe, Deeter, it is said, may be relieved
from attendance because his holdings
will in the meantime be subject to in
quiry of the Federal referee in bank
ruptcy. 801 l said yesterday that he is
the special representative of the Landis
Christmas Savings Club, and that at
present he owns no stock. He admitted
he had owned 185 shares and that he
had once paid JlioO or S3OO for it. Later
he sold it for $5,000. Relatives got
some of it. he explained.
801 l couldn't recollect some of the
endorsements he had made and finally,
upon petition of counsel for the Jersey
Shore Company, Judge Henry ordered
801 l to appear in court Monday, Au

and papers and records of his transac
tions relative to the Jersey Shore con

Government Will Help
Move Country's Crops
Washington, D. C., Aug. 3.—Pre
liminary plans designed to make avail
able the resources of the Federal re
serve system in the annual Fall move
ment of crops have been worked out
by the Federal Reserve Board. Writ
ing to the 12 regional banks the board
pointed out in a letter made public to
day how members of the system may
help to finance the crop movement.
The board's action was taken, the
letter says, to forestall any possibility
of congestion of crops this Fall or
lack of financial accommodation to
move them and to avoid a recurrence
of the stringency whicn in the past
has marked this movement.
Although the board applies its plan
to wheat, corn and all other cereals,
it devotes most attention to the cot
ton crop, which, it says, is peculiarly
sensitive to abnormal conditions such
as now exist in the export trade.
Usually the crop movement has been
taken care of by the Government de
posits in banks or the issue of
emergency currency under the Aldrich
Vreeland act, which expired last
month. In place of these agencies,
the board states, there is ample au
thority in the Federal reserve act to
meet the situation this Fall.

man.
Faust heard about the quandary of
the board, and he Informed the chair
man he would hasten his arrange
ments and become one of the princi

opened.
The members of the board were

use has been found, or at least sug

"All of which articles, as you know,
Mr. Secretary," she continued, "are

JUDGE GROW IS
FOR CLEAN BASEBALL
Elimination of All Pools His Rul
ing; Fines Agents After
Plea of Guilty
Special to The Telegraph
Allentown, Pa., Aug. 3.—The elimi
nation of all baseball pools, large and
small, with a view to keeping the na
tional game clean, is the ruling of
Judge Groman. He recently started a
crusade in Lehigh county and an
nounced yesterday, after fining ona
man who pleaded guilty to selling pool
tickets, that the fight would be con
tinued.
At a special session of court yes
terday William Lichtenwalner, arrested
for selling baseball pool tickets after
Judge Groman started a crusade
against that form of gambling a month
ago, pleaded guilty.
Lichtenwalner said he had under
taken to handle the pool tickets in
Allentown on assurances by the back
ers of the game in Wilkes-Barre that
it was not illegal. When arrested ho
consulted ex-Congressman Fired E.
Lewis, who advised him that It con
stituted gambling and was illegal and
Immoral. He thereupon came to
realize the gravity of his action and
decided to quit and plead guilty.
Confession Pleases Judge
The judge expressed himself pleased
with the man's confession and said
that to eliminate all gambling was the
only way to keep the national game
clean. Mr. Lewis added that he per
sonally thought Lichtenwalner was a
dupe of designing men and said that
the backers were under arrest and
wculd .have to appear here for trial in
September.
Judge Groman imposed a fine of
S3OO and a year's imprisonment and
or. the assurance of Lichtenwalner
that he would cease all connection
with the baseball pools suspended sen
tence.
[ln Harrlsburg pools are still run
ning, but, It Is said, on a small scale.
Local pati'ons of the Wilkes-Barre pool
are still very sore because of the fact
that many have not received their
money back for the two weeks they
did not get any returns. Announce
ment was made by some local agents
that they would return the money, but
up to date It Is said that only a few
received any cash.]
