Y., May 9.—Senate 3s permitting unlimited debate are the country’s strongest " sufe- guards against hasty legislation by a coalition of the blocs that have sprung up in American political life, Senator Moses, Republican, New Hampshire, declared here last night in an address defending those rales against the assaults of Vice Presi- dent Dawes. Caliing attention that the coali- tions differed from dny to day as new legislation to cure the ills ex- isting in different sections are ad- vanced the president pro tempore of the senate said the majorities thus momentarily welded tojether, “are bound to be as Teckless as they are ephemeral.” Senator Moses said it was axioma- tic that the majority had the right to rule, but he declared that major- ities differed from day to day. “The majority in the senate,’ he id, “is no longer partisan or even political. In point of fact, except through artificial means, strict par- ty division is rarely to be had now- a days at either end of the capitol, and the engrossing question nowdays are those of economic import affect- ing the material interests of section- al groups of states.” Detailing his own’ experiences in the senate, Senator Moses said he could not feel that the rules worked more than a fancied hardship. He added that he could not believe that even more seasoned legislators than himself could freely contemplate, a movement to change them. “It is to be observed,” he said, “that with few exceptions the de- mand for a change in the rules of the senate azises from those whose contact with” the senate is either brief or non-existent. Many a man has come into the senate with a de- termination to tame it, and almost without exception these men them- selves have been tamed by the sen- ate and have come to realize the true value of the senate rules.” Senator Moses declared that limi- tation of debate already exists in the senate through unanimous con- sent arrangements frequently resort- ed to after full and free discussion, He also called attention to the rule which enables sixteen senators to force a vote without debate on the question of limiting debate on any subject to one hour for each senator. Only a majority vote is necessary to enforce such limitation, he said, A remedy for everything complain- ed of in senate rules, Senator Moses went on, is offered in the Norris con- stitutional amendment which would do away with short sessions of con- gress and prevent legislation by “lame ducks” by moving up the meeting time of a newly elected con- gress from the March after the elec- tion to January: “I have not observed,” he said, “that any of those now so busily en- gaged in defaming the senate have shown any willingness to endorse Senator Norris’ proposal. It may be that they are as ignorant of it as they are of the actual effect of the rules of the senate. “Yet, in this impatient age it is surely not too much to ask that there may still remain in this country some forum in which freedom of expression in length, if not in depth, may still be found. If in the ideas of the founding fathers, as president Harding liked to refer to them, there still remains merit in their concep- tion of a Republic with representa- tive institutions, surely it is worth- while to retain one place where that conception may be sustained. “But if we have discarded the principles of that earlier era and are to live henceforward under hybrid institutions, resulting from the skill of the Luther Burbank of politi¢s in engrafting scions of democracy upon the stem of the Republic, then we might as Well give ear to the clamor which has recently bn st up.”” MURDER CHARGE AGAINST KLAN LEADER STANDS (By The Associated Press) Indianapolis, May 9—Judge James A.

Admiral Billard recognizes that the situation has de- veloped into what almost amounts to a war to the death and he plans to do the best job his power and facil- ities permit. “It’s a big job, a hard job,” Mr. Andrews remarked, “but we mean business. We are not quitters, The crews of the coast guard have the tradition of their service at heart. They won't be frightened by threats.” With evidence accumulating that land agents of the rum smugglers were ready to take long chances for the high stakes of their illicit trade, coast guardsmen everywhere have been warned by headquarters to ex- pect sudden and drastic moves from any direction, and to use caution. Admiral Billard is backing them up to the limit, they were told, and is ready to give them every legal as- sistance available under coast guard laws. Confidential reports to headqu: ters and incidents involving officia! and members of the coast guard daily within the last few weeks, have convinced all that the summer will be no vacation trip for the outfit, but will be crowded with attacks, threats, sabotage, insults, ambus- cades, bribery attempts, and _politi- cal pressure. Headquarters officials have been called by long distance and local telephone in the last two days by rum agents who offered bribes; when'they were refused, the agents branded the officials as crooks and charged them with letting other rum boats through the lines. In one instance, after the bribe at- tempt had failed, Lieutenant Com- mander Yeandle, aide to the Com- mandant, was warned to make him- self “scarce” around New York. Com- mander Yeandle has been active in carrying out Admiral Billard’s pro- gram of mobilization.

ELECTION OF GERMAN WAR LEADER VALID German Examining Board Rejects Protest Made By Socialists (By The Associated Preeg) Berlin, May 9—Rejecting the Socialist party's protest, the federal election examining board last night confirmed as valid the election of von Hindenburg to the presidency of Germany. Members of the board announced | that the evidence presented was of an immaterial nature and that the field marshal’s election was incon- testible. The examination was merely a perfunctory affair as the declara- tion that von Hindenburg with a plurality of over 900,000, had been. elected through fraud had never re- ceived much credence.

Mrs. Geisen-Volk is under ar- rest on a charge of child substitu- tion. Yesterday she was taken by. police to her institution, where, with the aid of a card index, she gave the names of the infants and ad- dresses, if available, of those who left them with her.

The trip had been taken as a side issue to the first annual con- vention of the Mid-South Associa- tion of Engineers, just formed here. The Chisoa and Monitor, together with other steamers and a number of today were combing the banks of the river between Coa- homa Landing and Bruins in an ef- fort to find bodies or to locate any living who may have made their way to isolated places. Meanwhile government officials planned to send divers down into the hull of the capsized boat and if nec- essary cut a hole through her bot- tom in an effort to reach any bodies that may have been caught in the cabin. The boat is lying bottom up 200 yards below the point where she capsized. The Norman along with the government steamer Chectaw of the’ army engineer corps fleet here had been put at the disposal of the engineers for a trip to Cow Island, 25 miles south of Memphis. The Norman was being headed for the Tennessee shore when she went, down. When just opposite Josie Harris island, survivors said, Major D. H. Connolly noticed that the boat was shifting. He spoke of this to Captain Howard Fenton, command- ing. Major Connolly went about tho boat scattering the passengers bat the vessel continued to careen. Sensing danger, Major Connolly ‘@i- rected the captain to head for the shore, The boat was started in that direction but when 300 feet from the Tennessee shore she started to list sharply. Cool headed passengers quickly tore away the screen doors and equipped all passengers possible with life preservers and planks, Captain Fenton said the rudder failed to respond when the Norman began to list. The steamer had on board about fifty persons. The steamer sank at exactly 5:10 P. m., according to survivors. At first she began rocking from side to side, careening so that persons on board were forced to run from one side to the other in an effort to remain on the high side of the boat. Finally she careened so far that she could not recover. Survivors said, however, that there was no pan’ Tom Lee, operating a motor boat for the Tennessee Construction com- pany, who happened to be passing the Norman when she turned over, saved the lives of most of those rescued, W.

There was no explosion when the boat sank, the survivors said. Jack Cothran, engineer, having turned off the fuel oil under the boilers when the boat began to misbehave. Graphic stories by persons who were precipitated into the swift cur- rent, said to be the worst stretch of water in the rivet between Memphis and Helena, Arkansas, told how the boat overturned too quickly for life- boats to be launched.
