New York Capitalist Long a
Financial World
GREENWICH; Conn.. April 5.-—-
Edmund C. Converse. financier, whose
death in Pasadena. California. from
heart trouble. occurred yesterday. was
the owner of Conyers Manor. 8. two
thousand acre place. in Greenwich.
He was 71 years of age.
'Mr. Converse retired as a banker"
and financier some yearsvago. after
a long period of activity in Wall
Street. ‘He was the son of the late
James‘C. Converse. the first president
of the National Tube Works. He. 'had
been president of the Bankers Trust
Company. The Astor Trust Company.
a member of the executive board of
the United States Steel Corporation
and a director in‘many oi‘ the, large
business inte sis. He had member-
ship in many f the important social
clubs of New York and elsewhere.
Mr. Converse was twice married.
his first wife dying on September 4.
1912. and he. remarrying on January
29. 1914. Miss Mary Edith Dunshee.
who was a sister of his late brothers'
widow, the last mentioned. Mrs. J
Converse. having died two days after
[-2. C. Converse's wire.
Mr. Converse leaves two daughters.
Mrs; Benjamin Strong. Jr.. and the
Baroness von Remberg. whose hus-
band was killed in battleshortly after
Germany lnvaded Belgium. and a son.
Edmund C. Converse. Jr.. of Santa
Paula. California.
Mr. Converse was very wealthy. and
the estate of his first wife was placed
at o‘er-r $1,000,000. Among his art
treasures was a' portrait. by Thomas
Gainsborough. R. A.. for which Mr.
In our foreign relations as well." de-
clares the Republican Publicity ASSO-I
' clation, . through its President. Hon.
‘Jonathan llournc. Jr. “Normalcy de-
mands that we return to pre-war re<
lations with Europe and the rest of
the world. That is precisely what we.
are doing and there is no danger that
VPresidr-nt llarding will be turned from
that course by the cunning wiles of
European diplomats.
“It is rumored that the allies have.
[or the time being at least. abandoned
their interest as to whether the ITnlted
States will eventually adopt the league
of nations. and are centering their
hopes upon hearing from the country
an indication of sympathy with the
plan of reparation that they are up-
" plying to Germany. It is further stat-
ed by Writers upon the subject that
payment of that reparation would be
expedited were an announcement to
be made. of the stand of the United
States in the matter. It is said-that
h word from America supporting the
chums would cause Germany to
reuse her obstruction tactics and. take
' measures to pay the indemnity in ac-
rOrdance with the allied terms. Allied
aiplomats apparently have chosen to
interpret President Harding's inaugu-
ral address as an assurance that Ger-
many can cvpcct no sympathy from
the Inlted States. and they seem to
have arrived at the canverso of- that
policy by assuming that oillcial'Amer-
ican sympathy will he bestowed upon
the course pursued by the allies.
l "The statesmen of. Europe should
undeceivc ' themsclves. While Mr.
Harding assured the nations of the
world that the Ifnlted States stood
ready to counsel with them in the in:
tcrcsts of world peace. he asserted
that ‘we seek no part in directing the
Bestinies of the Old World.’ It is a
Tax cry from participating in a con-
ference with foreign governments to
showing sympathy for one former bol-
ligt-rcnt or the other engaged in the
interpretation of a treaty irto which
hour have entered. That is what the.
Suggested action amounts to: nothing
more or less than the assumption of
the role of’interpreter of a treaty be-
(tween countries of the Old World.
Could there be a more. flagrant depar~
ture from the policy proclaimed by
President Harding in his inaugural
address?
“The controversy over payments by
Germany is to be lett solely in the
hands of the parties to it. so far as
intervention byflthe United States is
concerned. We are out of Europe. It
_ requires only the formal announce-
“ ment of that fact. through a treaty or
resolution of Congress. to restore. pre-
cisely the same coadltions of peace
that prevailed before the war. No-
body would have suggesmd bciors
l1914 that America project itselfrinto a
controversy between the countries
that afterwards entered the war. and.-
the events that have transpired since
that date must not be permitted to
blind our eyes to the proper-relations
the United States should bean/tattle
rest of the world."

Attorney-General Byron S. Payne has
announced will start today. provided

other sports which ordinarily take
place on the Sabbath. The lid also
will be clamped on Sunday movies
and theatrical performances. and
stores which sell {odd must be closed
at 9 a. m.. on the Sabbath.
An ancient “blue raw" which has
been upon the statutes for a number
and which has ne‘er been
along with any
of years.
enforced. all'ccting the type of motion
picture illms may be displayed on any
day of the week also is to be resur-
rected and enforced to the letter. no-
cording to the edict laid down by the
attorney-general. Motion picture ex-
hibiiors throughout the State have
declared that it is absurd to even
think of enforcing that provision of
the codewbecause they point out. it
would bar practically all the recent
mo\'ie,.producti6ns which violate the
provision in some manner or other.
The. code says. "It shall be a misde-
meanor to exhibit any indecent or vile
motion pictures; any pictures por-
traying illicit- love or infidelity to
marriage promises: crime. or in any
way suggesting the showing of crime
or other immorality."
At a Conference of the State’s at-
torneys. held at Huron. S. 1).. on
March 24. called at Mr. Payne's invi-
tation. the official declared that inas-
much as the. last General Assembly
had not seen fit to repeal the old
“blue laws." after; many requests had
been made for it to do so. it was the
duty of the State‘s attorneys to en-
force every "blue law" on the statute
books.
