Ily th. Assjciated Pres. WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. An International conference to see what must be done to rehabilitate silver was recommended tonight by the fourth Pan American Commercial Conference.

Of the 21 nations of the two Americas represented, only the I'nited States and Brazil did not vote. Assistant Secretary White of the State Department. L'nited States delegate, said this country's representatives had hoped to be able to support the proposal but the terms of the resolution had been found too uncertain. The conference combined with the silver resolution another recommending that the American countries adopt a monetary standard which will assure to the circulating medium the stability necessary to guarantee the normalcy of commercial operations." The conference also adopted a resolution suggesting that the American republics grant "the greatest tariff privileges" possible to one another. This resolution was substituted for one that had been introduced by the Cuban delegation asking for a two-year tariff truce.

ago. 4 Five witnesses testified in Circuit Judge McElhlnney'a court at Clayton yesterday that they saw Hugh W. Thomasson, elderly capitalist, kidnaped by his young wife at Euclid avenue and Lenox place last Jan. 22. The principal witness was Obrey J.

Price, a Negro Janitor employed in the neighborhood, who said he was standing on the street a few feet from Thomasson when the abduction occurred. Thomasson was walking north on the west side of Euclid. Price testified, when an automobile being driven north in Euclid by Mrs. Thomasson drew up at the curb on the wrong side of the street. Mrs.

Thomasson got out, he said, seized the elderly man by the shoulders and started to push him toward the car. Thomasson resisted, he testified, and shouted, "Let me alone; 'I don't want to go." Says Passerby Aided Her. "Y'ou are going anyway," he said Mrs. Thomasson replied. Whereupon she asked a passerby, a young man, to "please help me put this old man in the car." This the passerby did, according to the witness, and Mrs.

Thomasson drove away. The four other witnesses corroborated Price's testimony in most particulars, but said they did not see anybody come to the woman's assistance. Two of the witnesses. Miss Josephine Foran. 4031 St.

Ixuia avenue, and Denby Sands, said they were passing on a street car at the time. Miss Mary Kidd, of the Monterey Hotel, said she was walking along Euclid and Henry Stussie said he witnessed the affair as he passed by in an automobile. The testimony was given In th course of a hearing on an application, brought by Thomasson's relatives, for leave to intervene in 36 PERSONS HURT IN COLLISION OF STREET CAR AND SNOWPLO'tV Buffalo Trolley Takes I'lre After Crash; Passengers Cut (lass and Burned. BUFFALO, N. Oct.

10, Thirty-six persons were injured today when a crowded street car crashed into a snowplow and caught fire. The snowplow, recently reconditioned for use this winter, was being taken to a barn when the collision occurred. Passengers in the trolley car men, women and children were showered with flying glass and the clothing of several was ignited by sparks from the fire which broke out when the trolley control box was short-circuited. Among the more seriously injured was John J. Kane, Assistant District Attorney of Erie County.

Ho was cut by glass and severely burned. ia By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, Oct. 10. Philip D'Andrea, personal friend and constant companion of Al "Scarface" Capone at the gangster's trial for evading his income tax, was ordered by Federal Judge James II.

Wllkerson today to stand trial for carrying a pistol in the courtroom. D'Andrea who has sat next to Capone in the courtroom for five days was arrested and a pistol was found tucked under his belt. He was placed In jail without bail until Monday when he will answer a charge of contempt of court. "Why. Phil is just a friend, that's all," protested Capone, looking more perturbed than he did during th court session.

"1 didn't cm know he owned a gun, and I'm sure he brought it to court unthinkingly. This will make me look bad, you know." Jmlge -Explains Action. "I had been informed that men with pistols were coming into the courtroom during the trial," Judge Wilkerson announced, "and it was I who ordered D'Andrea arrested." The judge then ordered Government officials and court officers to bring before him any person carrying a weapon Into court for sentence for contempt. D'Andrea first told Federal officials he was a deputy bailiff of the Municipal court and declared he had a permit to carry a pistol. Investigators said, however, they had found that his appointment as bailiff had expired some time ago and that the permit to carry a pistol had been revoked.

Witnesses Tell of Big Hills. The arrest of D'Andrea occurred after a court session in which 11 witnesses from Florida testified that Capone spent freely during his winter sojourns In Florida, and never -quibbled about the bills. They smiled as the 260-pound pang leader told of his $200 a week meat bills, $4 a day bakery shop purchases, and his $40,000 winter home. Capone smiled back and scowled only once, when one of the witnesses told of "a little item about which Mr. Al probably forgot." The Government's case against Capone began to take definite shape today.

Indications were that the Government intended to prove that Capone must have had a large income because he spent money freely. Popt-Dipath staTf rotoarrarher. TLTR. AND MRS. VLADIMIR GOLSCHMANN photogrraphcl in St.

And even when he does, he wants the audience to feel that the opening number is as important as any other. "I do not like to encourage the audience in the habit of regarding the opening number as unimportant," he said. "We will rehearse that as hard as any other and I hope that it will be listened to in the same spirit, whether it be the 'Fr -ischuetz overture or a Bach concerto." Golschmann spent most of the summer at his home in Paris and rnd will begin rehearsals tomorrow morning at 1:3 at the Odeon.

Witnesses testified that Capone i Llast season, and the list of soloists attorneys to evidence that about was sent by telegraph to Capone in Florida by persons in Chicago. H. F. Ryder, builder of a boat house and dock on the Capone property, was the witness who told of Capone's $125 "oversight" and of the roll of currency in the home.

The gangster directed his attorneys in questioning Ryder, and brought out that Ryder never had asked for payment of the overdue bill, "because I was busy every day and afraid to go to Capone's place at night." W. C. Harris, manager of a Miami Telephone Company office, identified bills for service to the gangster's home. Previous evidence had been given that Capone often telephoned Chicago friends. His bills for $955 in 152S and $3141 in 192 8 bore out that testimony Capone paid most of his bills in cash, the witnesses said, but a few times the bills were paid with checks bearing the names of Jack Guzik.

In the course of the hearing, Taylor R. Y'oung and Patrick Cul-len, attorneys representing the interveners, put Stephen C. Rogers on the stand to testify as to whether he considered Thomasson competent to manage his own business affairs. Rogers formerly was counsel for Thomasson. Rogers testified he did not consider Thomasson competent, and produced several "essays" which he said Thomasson had dictated in his office five years ago.

Dr. John H. Simon, 1201 Mc-Causland avenue, was questioned about the essays, and expressed the opinion that they had been written by a man of unsound mind. spent $25,000 for incidental expenses such as telephone bills, kitchen utensils. meats, bakery goods, and improvements to his home during three winters in Florida.

The defense objected to each statement made 'by each witness, and Judge Wilkerson overruled them. A final and sweeping objection also was made by defense month, however, he conducted a series of concerts at Bilbao, Spain, and concluded his season with a performance of Beethoven's Choral Symphony. The only effect of the revolution on the Spanish people, he said, was to make them more casual and more charming thai ever.

"Sometimes they are very trying," he explained. "For instance a week before my season was to begin I did not know whether I was hired or not. And during the middle of the program when the Choral Symphony was being played as the concluding number I was informed that the baritone couldn't sing and that a substitute would have to be used. They are charming people, though." Mr. and Mrs.

Golschmann landed Thursday and spent one day in New York. While facing the usual examination by the immigration authorities in New York, the conductor experienced a bad moment when the Inspector told him that another foreigner professing to be the conductor of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra had already landed and been admitted to the coun arrar.srerr:ents for her 7. and with Tito "iritor.f-. and other th.e winsts, came at rehearsal.

Golschmann has already prepared his program through the Christmas week concerts, and while they rely, in the main, on works of established merit, they will be garnished with a liberal sprinkling of novelties. Among these are a composition by the Polish composer. Alexander Tansrnan. called "Triptych," which will be played here for the first time. Another world premiere will be offered in the "Prelude, and Fugue" by Hou-dret, Belgian modernist.

T'ive American Works, The conductor has already listed five American works for performance and intends to give a number of others. If works of sufficient merit can be found. "I am doing this, not only because I consider it just that American orchestras should give a liberal hearing to American works," said Golschmann. "tut because there happen to be a great many interesting American works available. I intend to look at as many American scores as I can find and make a further selection from them." In arranging his programs, Golschmann will not adhere too closely to the practice of beginning his concerts with a short curtain new inims 00 try on that basis.

The matter was smoothed over when the necessary papers were produced, but Golschmann never learned who the other "conductor" was. The first concert of the season will be Friday afternoon, Oct. 23.

Thirty and six-tenths per cent of the population of large metropolitan centers live outside the city limits. This was calculated by the Census Bureau today, after a study of 1930 statistics of the 95 cities whose population, plus that of adjacent urban territory, amounts to 100.000 or more each. The aggregate population of the 93 districts Is" 54,589,972, which is 4 4.5 per cent of the total population of continental United States. The Census Boreau found that the outside area constituted almost nine-tenths of the total area and that the population of suburbs was growing more rapidly than that of the central cities. In addition to the central cities, all adjacent territory having" a density of not less than 150 Inhabitants per square mile was included in the figures.

Detective Sergeant Joseph Wren and Detective Leo McKenna started back from Idaho by automobile with Reed Wednesday.

Because of his bad reputation, an "Oregon boot," 20 pounds of iron, was fastened to one of his legs, and he was handcuffed throughout the trip. They traveled slowly, and only by day. Reed said he was 35 years old and that his home was in Chicago.
