MINARY WANTS VOTE IN SENATE ON FARM BILL BEFORE FRIDAY ' Is Administration's Desire to} Haye Farm Board Func- j tioning This Summer Concealed Lothario Dashes Acid; in Husband’s Face, Then Beats Him Down GIVEN 20 YEARS SENTENCE Victim, Partially Conscious, Hears Wife Urge ‘Give Him More to Make Sure’ | Madison, Wis. April 29.—(7— | Changing ‘not guilty” pleas to guilty, Mrs. Rose Pope, 30, and Philip Polster, 26, were sentenced to serve 20 years cach i. the Wisconsin state prison by Superior Court Judge S. B. Schein here today. They pleaded guilty to assaul. with intent to com- mit murder after an attack on Mrs. Pope's husband, John, 38, near here | Saturday night. { Pope survived the attack, recovercd Washington, April 29.—()—Final action on the farm relief bill by Fri- day was asked in the senate today by Chairman MeNary of the stele ture committee. Senator McNary made th state- | ment in reply to an inquiry as to the time the farm measure would be finished. His hope for an carly vote is in line with the desire of administration leaders to put the farm relief bill on the ‘statute books as carly as possible in order that the proposed farm board may function for the benefit of this year's crops. It is the hope of leaders to have the senate vote on the export deben- ture plan Thursday. Lowden Sends Letter At the beginning of today's discus- sion, Chairman McNary had a clerk read a newspaper account of the statement by Frank O. Lowden, call- ing upon congress to support Presi- dent Hoover's farm relief program. It was read without comment. Chairman McNary has called a meeting of his committee for tomor- row at which it will be decided whether the testimony of department of agriculture experts on the deben- ture plan should be made public. Senator Robinson, of Arkansas, the Democratic leader, said the testi- mony, which some committee mem- bers said was favorable to the deben- ture plan, should be made public. The house had nothing definitely before it for consideration today. The Republican membership of the ways and means committee, which has been working out the changes to be proposed in the Fordney-McCumber law, was not ready to introduce the revision bill and some leaders favored a recess of the house until Thursday, after the bill is introduced, it will be referred back to the committce for the preparation of a formal report, in which the Democratic members, excluded from its sessions since Feb- ruary, will participate. Discussion Continues General discussion of the bill is not expected to begin until next week, but in the meantime the measure will engage the attention of the entire membership. The Republicans will lay their plans for adoption of a spe- cial rule to limit the offering of amendments to a few controverted sections, and the Democrats are ex- pected to line up their forces in an effort to have the measure taken up under the regular rules which permit the offering of amendments after the reading of cach paragraph. In addition to winding up its farm relief debate, the senate also had hopes of ending, for the time being at any rate, the daily discussion of religious differences by acting on the resolution of Senator Heflin, Demo- crat, Alabama, condyning the attack made on him after his Ku Klux Klan speech last month at Brockton, Mass. Heflin, charging that “Roman Cath- olic influences” were inspiring opposi- tion to his resolution, announced his intention Friday to speak today on the “Roman Republican conspiracy in the United States senate.” Mellon Question Up The question of Secretary Mellon's tight to hold. office, meanwhile, was hovering over the senate and was re- garded as certain to create a commo- tion on the floor sooner or later. The senate judiciary committee was called upon again today to confront its dif- ferences over the report prepared by Chairman Norris declaring an old statute forbidding the secretary of the treasury to be interested in trade or commerce makes or Mellon's serv- ices in the cabinet illegal. With a close division on the ques- tion apparent in the committee after its failure to adopt a report last week, Chairman Norris made it clear his views would be placod before the sen- ate as a minority report if the ma- jority rejected them,. The differences center on the extent to which a stock- holder in. corporations is to be con- sidered as being interested in trade or commerce. Extortion Politician Gets Stillwater Stay Minneapolis, April 29.—()—James F. Duffy, Minneapolis politician found guilty by a jury last Friday of ex- ‘tion, was sentenced today by Dis- trict Judge W. W. Bardwell to an indetermined term in the state prison at Stillwater. The penalty for extor- tion is not more thna five years, Duffy was charged with collecting $75 a week from the proprietor of a gambling house. Death Penalty Asked ! Minneapolis, April 29.—(7)—Brand- ing Lee O. Mitchell, accused of mur- uel Bozik in s be | Coyote Subs for Fox Colonel Ayres Places consciousness in his farmyard while his wife and her companion had gone for an automobile to remove his body, and notified the authorities who held both in the Dane county jail without charges after they had confessed the attempted slaying. The authorities pieced together the sordid story from the confession of. Mrs. Pope und Polster and Pope's story of lying, partly unconscious after the attack and hearing his wife urge her companion to “give him one more to make sure.” Mrs. Pope met Polster about a year ago when he visited on a nearby farm. The au- thorities said she arranged a meeting with him in Madison on Saturday evening when she came there with her husband. She left her husband on the pre- tense of shopping, she told the au- thorities, met Polster, gave him the key to the Pope home in which he concealed himself to await the couple's return. Mrs. Pope said that when they arrived home, she entered the house while Pope put away the automobile. Polster, armed with a wooden mallet and a mixture of bat- tery acid and liniment was inside. According to the stories of the trio, Polster dashed the acid in Pope's face as the latter entered, then struck the blinded man over the head with the: mallet. Mrs. Pope said Polster struck her husband twice more. as he fell, then she and Polster dragged her husband's body into the farmyard where Pope partly recovered con- sciousness to hear his wife urging Polster to strike again. Polster, Pope said, felt his pulse, and decided he was still alive, so struck him again with the mallet. Mrs. Pope asked Polster if her hus- band was dead and told him to hit the partly conscious man again “to make sure,” Pope told the authorities. Pope said the couple left after saying they expected to obtain 4 car to dis- pose of his body, and after a time he fully recovered consciousness and staggered down the road to’a store ®@ quarter of a mile away where he notified authorities. Deputy sheriffs arrested the couple after they had returned to the farm home to find their victim gone. MATE TRADERS WILL NOT REWED AT ONCE Minot Attorney for Mohall Cou- ples Advises Them to Await Legal Probe Minot, N. D., April 29.—(4)—Two Renville county couples who recently exchanged mates, thereby carning nation-wide notoriety are not going to rewed unless they are advised by their attorney that he deems it best they should. The couples are Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Rikansrud and Mr. and Mrs, Willis Knight. Today had been tentatively set as the date for again being united in wedlock, but the couples are marking time while their attorney, John J. Coyle of Minot, continues to study the matter. The Minot lawycr is awaiting an opinion from a Canadian attorney on the validity of the couples marriages in Manitoba on the day after they were divorced in Minot and were prohibited under divorce decrees from remarrying for a period of 90 days. The 90-day period ex- pired yesterday. ‘The validity of the Canadian wed- dings in which they traded mates was recently attacked by Renville county officials when they filed charges of illegal cohabitation against | the two men and women. If some doubt exists in his mind as to the validity of tthe Canadian marriages, Attorney Coyle will advise the couples to be remarried. _ ‘The Canadian attorney has written to Coyle asking for further informa- tion concerning the case and will furnish and opinion in a few days, he said.
