GENERAL SEES
DOWNFALL OF
I STANDPATTERS
O^IVBLAND Jan 13. UP)—Post-
Gen. James A. Farley pre-
today that Pres. Roosevelt
Wo«*<l not “spread his sails before
*** inflation gale with all the
P*rtl* that beset such a course.'’
The democratic national chair-
***** asserted in a speech at the
********* Cleveland Automotive lunch-
•M* that neither would the presi-
dent “sacrifice the advances which
***** occurred in commodity prices
by taking the views of the inter-
national bankers.”
T. D. la AuUmriiv
“For my own part.” Farley con-
tinued. "I do not pretend to be an
authority on the subject.
**I know the president is such an
authority.
“I know he has plumbed the
depths of all the arguments. I
know that his policy comes from a
ripened judgment and I do not
think that any of us need fear that
where he has been right so often
he is likely to go wrong in this
Particular field."
Parley praised congress for its
co-operation with the president In
hunt year's special session and ex-
pressed confidence that the pres-
ent session would be as helpful.
He prophesied defeat in the next
elections of "crusted old guards-
men and standpatters—men who
still talk and think In archaic and
worn out terms and can do noth-
ing but quibble and grumble in
dull partisanship and creak their
ancient party opposition to what-
ever is being offered.”
Taith Not Misplaced
“The people because of their
faith in Roosevelt.” he concluded
"bore the Inconvenience and dis-
comfort which resulted with pa-
tience and good temper and the
results show that their faith was
not misplaced. • ••
“It v my earnest belief that un-
der his leadership we shall In good
time come to a full realization of
the hopes and ambitions of all
good Americans for a restoration of
our country's prosperity and for
the greater happiness of all our
people"

Society Cooks Own
I Meal While Jeeves
And Maid Step Out\
NEW YORK Jan 13. i*t—If the
admirable Jeeves didn t go about
his buterlmg with his customary
efficiency today no matter.
Milord and Milady were inclined
to be tolerant about it; lor Jeeves
had had his fling and this was
his “morning after.”
He had been to the butlers’ ball
held last night in the grand ball-
room of one of Manhattan's swanky
hotels. Also at the affair were
2.999 of society's best butlers
stewards maids and chauffeurs.
For one long evening and well in-
to the little hours he lived the
life to which he had so long been
a spectator. He dined and danced
and was catered to.
Butlers’ ball the event was term-
ed. first American version of an
old English institution.
Mrs. Marshall Field was the pro-
moter of the ball and charity was
the beneficiary.
Hie Bellevue hospital family wel-
fare service got the proceeds. Single
tickets—12.50; boxes—$i>
The ball brought out a surprising
fact and smashed a literary chim-
era. For Jeeves—good old Jeeves
—was not present <Hts name is
used in this story in a generic
sense*.
Look who was there however. |
No end of butlers whose names
lend themselves so perfectly to the
crisp but genteal command.
i Kori Stafford and (Joodchild.
PuU Brookson. Kidd and Mary-
land. Autrolus and Voyesey.
Good Man Munday was present;
and O’Brien.
Formal attire was not compulsory
but. like the mail-carrier hiking on
his day off. most of the butlers
wore their tails and stiff shirts.
The maids they directed sedate-
ly over the dance-floor were a
glittering resplendent bevy smart-
ly clad in Fifth Avenue's latest
| tracks and much-bcjeweled
Notable absentees were master
and mistress. This was an exclu-
sive party. Master looked for his
own shirt studs; mistress wielded
the can-opener in the process of
preparing dinner. Or they went
out.
But not to the Butlers’ bull Mrs.
Field issued an embargo against
them on the ground that their
rresencc would dampen the spirit
of the affair.

WAXAHACHIE. Jan. 13.—<0>}—A
ten-year prison sentence was im-
posed on Currie Caldwell by a dis-
trict court jury which found him
guilty of an assault while masked
in connection with the kidnaping
of Aobert Cert at Corsicana De-
cember 9 1930.
Bay Held Capita
Young Cert was abducted from j
a street near his Corsicana home
and taken to Dallas by a group of
men who held him captive in an
apartment there until his father
I. N. Cert president of a Corsi-
cana bank furnished 115.000 ran-
som.
The verdict returned last night
was the second in which Caldwell
had been convicted of participa-
tion in the crime At his first trial
he was found guilty and sentenced
to 12 years' imprisonment but on
an appeal the case was reversed
and remanded ior trial. It subse-
quently was transferred here from
Corsicana on a change of venue.
Oat 3ft Minutes

case was given to the jury here
Foreman E. J. Kendall announced
the verdict. In that brief time the
jury took five ballots while reach-
ing its decision as Caldwell s pun-
ishment.
Attorneys for the defendant filed
a formal motion for a new trial
arguing that the verdict was “con-
trary to law.” *nie attorneys said
if a new tala! was denied the oaae
would be appealed.
