WHY BLAME IT ALL ON JIMMY? ASKSJTAMMANY Mayor Not to Blame for Widespread Corruption, to Be Defense. By United Press NEW YORK, March 27.—The defense that Tammany Hall is planning for Mayor James J. Walker, whose administration is the subject of an extensive inquiry about to be made by a legislative committee, became evident today. Walker, Tammany will contend, is no more to blame for the wrongdoing of his subordinates than President Hoover would be for illegal acts of prohibition agents or than Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt for the New York state prison riots. Attitude Is Revealed The wigwam’s attitude was revealed by Daniel F. Cohalan, chairman of the advisory committee of Tammany Hall and a former supreme court justice, in the first utterance of any administration spokesman since the legislature’s investigation was ordered. “No head of a government nor any subdivision thereof can be fairly held responsible for more than general supervision of his subordinates,” Cohalan told members of the Oceola club in a speech Thur s day night. “It would be unfair to impeach President Hoover because of the wholesale disregard of the eighteenth amendment by federal prohibition agents, and other federal officeholders the country over. It would be unfair to remove him for dishonesty or other misconduct of fed- ! eral judges, of which we have had instances in recent years.” Chief Inspector Arrested The city’ R most Important move toward putting its house in order before the beginning of the legislative inquiry was the arrest today of Rollin C. Hastings, chief inspector in the bureau of builidngs. Hastings, who resigned after an inspection of the bureau by Walker’s own investigator, had served the city for twenty years. He was charged with acepting a bribe. There has been no indictment against him, but the order for ills arrest came from the office of District Attorney Crain, which refused to give any details of the alleged bribery.

TRADE BENEFIT SEEN IN ROYALTIES’ VISIT Trip of Siam’s King and Queen Is Expected to Aid Commerce. Bu Ncripps-Howard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, March 27.—The approaching visit of the king and queen of Siam—who now are en route to the United States—may have other benefits than the mere promotion of good relations between the world's greatest republic and the world’s oldest and most firmly established absolute monarchy. Officials are hopeful that after the rounds of social festivities are over, there may result an increase in the sale of American products to Siam. This view, also, is entertamed by Siamese officials who feel that the trade relations between the two nations is not what it ought to be or what it could be. Siam, department of commerce officials say, is a world market neglected by the United States. This nation, likewise, has not been as good customer for Siamese exports as has been other nations.
