The legislative decks were cleared, except for this one item and there was a possibility it would be killed in the rush to end the session and get away. The senate had attached the Glass - amendment to the home loan bank bill and had voted, 44 to 20, to insist that it be retained in the measure after conferees failed to agree. The house reaffirmed its stand by @ 221 to 89 vote and there the matter stood as leaders sought a compromise in an effort to prevent the measure from being killed. It is one of the ideas recommended by President Hoover to meet the existing emer-' gency. ! Although unanimity was lacking,! senate leaders predicted that, in view; DRYS FAIL 10 GIVE ~VBTERANS PLANNING of the house vote, the senate would) recede from its demand for the Borah-Glass currency expansion amendment and send the home loan Giscount bill to the white house. Meanwhile, the house recessed to await final senate action—with many members ready to start home- ward at once. Speaker Garner an- nounced that only the home loan bill stood in the way of adjournment and expressed the hope to the house that those in the senate desiring adjourn- ment would “see the light of day.” Representative LaGuardia (Rep., N. Y.) introduced a resolution to have the house recess instead of adjourn and give Speaker Garner the power to convene that body if nced be. “In these times of emergency,” La- Guardia told the house, “the legis- lative branch should not lose control of the government. We can rely on the speaker to call us together.” Unless it should be convened earl- | jer, the LaGuardia resolution would | have the house meet again Septem-! ber 15, and twice a week thereafter. Senator Glass (Dem., Va.) moved in the senate to take up his resolu- tion to replace the 18th amendment. The Virginian said his resolution “carries out in large measure the de- clarations of both political parties” at their recent conventions.

Under the capitol act preference is | to be given North Dakota contractors to the extent of three per cent. { A North Dakota contractor coming within the qualifications of the act and wholly responsible for the bid and contract would be entitled to the pre- ference, Morris held. “If the responsibility is divided be- tween a North Dakota contractor and one from outside the state,” Morris said, “the preference would not apply. ‘The mere fact that an associate from outside the state might be mentioned in the bid would not necessarily de- Prive ‘the North Dakota contractor of his right of preference. “A North Dakota contractor might have one or more outside firms asso- ciated with him, but if the bid were made, accepted.and the contract en- tered into wholly and exclusively with the North Dakota contractor, he then, | and not his associates would be re-| sponsible for the bid and contract and the North Dakota contractor would be entitled to the three per cent pre- | ference regardless of who his asso- ciates might be.

The board's resume quoted, among other things, President Hoover's ac- ceptance speech of 1928 in which he said “I do not favor repeal of the eighteenth amendment”; his message in 1931 accompanying the Wickersham report when he told congress it was his “duty” to “enforce the law.” The review then added: “During the presidency of Mr. Hoover, federal enforcement of the Prohibition laws has steadily advanc- ed and has attained a higher degree of efficiency than in any other period since adoption of the eighteenth It emphasized ‘Roosevelt's accept- ance speech in Chicago when he said: “This convention wants repeal.

The farewell to congress did not mean, though, the veterans who wanted their compensation certi- ficates paid now, intended to leave town with legislators. In fact, Roy W. Robertson, leader |of those who had marched on the} capitol plaza for four days and three nights. proposed to transfer the picketing to the white house. He and Walter W. Waters, elected command- cr-in-chief of the bogus expedition- ary force, planned to keep their fol- lowers in Washington all summer. There was less open difference of opinion among the marchers than among those who were trying to en- force regulations supposed to apply to the veterans. Pelham D. Glassford, su- perintendent of Washington police, was accused by the capitol police board, comprising sergeants-at-arms of the house and senate and the capi- tol architect, of being too lax. He replied he felt justified in what he had done. to their marching in the face of a drizzle that set in about 2.a.m. But not many more of them had as yet taken advantage of the opportunity to borrow money against their bonus certificates for railroad fare home. As one of its last actions, the house had voted to reduce from 4 1-2 to 3 1-2 per cent the interest charge on loans deductible from the bonus. Dismiss Contest of Schall Senate Seat Washington, July 16—()}—The Senate elections committee Saturday voted to dismiss the contest brought against the election of Senator Schall (Rep., Minn.), by his Demo- cratic opponent in 1930, Einar Hoi- dale, unless the latter files more spe- cific charges by September 1. By unanimous vote, the commit- tee decided Hoidale’s charges were too indefinite to warrant considera- tion by the senate and gave him un- til September 1 to file more specific allegations, Unless he does so by that time, the Proceedings will be dismissed. Chairman Shortridge said if. Hol- dale did file an amended petition by September 1 meeting the committee's requirements the committee would consider it. If the amended petition was still not sufficient Shortridge said, the contest would be dismissed.

Although authorities previously had expressed belief that Leslie, 20- |months-old son of Mr. asd Mrs. Ray Delano, had been slain and his body tossed into-a cesspool where it was found Thursday, the jury disagreed with that contention after listening to testimony for four and one-half |hours. The child had been hunted six days. The jury decided Leslie “acciden- tally fell into a cesspool .. .; that he died on or before July 13, 1932, from either exposure, starvation, fear or suffocation, or a combination there- of.” Testimony at the inquest brought out the fact that several persons had looked into the pit after the child disappeared while at play at his home, but none had seen Leslie. Mike Auspos, Anoka county deputy Sheriff, testified the bottom of the pit was 27 feet from the ground level ;8nd that several persons might be in the basin and be out of sight of janyone !c0king through the narrow opening shaft, which was only 10 inches square. He said marks on the jdirt sides indicated a child's fingers had clawed them. Other testimony indicated it would have been possible for the child to have lifted the lid from the 10-foot shaft and fallen in. Dr. ‘J. 3S. McCartney, University of. Minnesota pathologist, who conduct- ed a post-mortem examination, said {death might have occurred only 12 {hours before the body was found on | Thursday. |_ Before the inquest, Coroner W. C. iThurston had said “we see no alter- native other than murder” and that | ie cause of the death was strangula- |tion. | Despite the jury's verdict, author- {ities of Columbia Heights indicated jee would continue their investiga- tion. | Priva’: funeral services for Leslie were held Saturday. Examination of the cesspool by the coroner today tended to show, he ;Said, that the baby was alive for | Some tinfe in it and had moved about, | trying frantically to get out. |_ The evidence which Coroner |Thurston disclosed Saturday convin- ;ced him he said, that the baby was a \prisoner in the cesspool while hun- dreds of persons were searching only @ short distance away. of the time, but groping to escape, jthe baby was unable to attract at- j tention. to his plight—this was the tragic picture traced by the clues found. —_—_— Forgives Debtors To Bolster Trade | + Arcadia, Fla, July 16—(7)— | John Balosok believes a clear slate is a fine thing.

Action was taken despite a move to send the bill back to conference with the house which developed as the result of nation-wide pressure from banks to eliminate the provision requiring publicity on reconstruction corporation loans. Senate leaders had been somewhat apprehensive over the possibility of adjourning congress Saturday night, as the movement seemed to gain headway. They sent representatives over to consult house leaders to determine whether sentiment in that branch had changed sufficiently to allow elimination of the publicity clause but there was a strong faction in the senate, opposed to sending the bill back to conference. It demanded the bill be passed and sent to the white house and finally prevailed. The pressure against the publicity clause developed overnight. Friday the senate was ready to approve the conference report without debate. Bankers throughout the country, however, wired their senators oppos- ing the publicity clause on loans from} the construction corporation. President Hoover and members of the reconstruction corporation board opposed the publicity feature, but President Hoover agreed Friday to sign the bill with it included and let; congress take the responsibility. | The view that seemed to be accept- | ed was that the corporation must re- port to congress and the president, but that further congressional action is necessary before publicity need be given, Senate leaders said the publicity clause would not make public the! loans by the reconstruction corpora- | tion without further action by con- gress.

This done, he made a crude attempt to dress his injured leg and then struck out-for the westward, knowing the low mountain range and civilization lay beyond. Constantly on the alert to es- cape snakes, wild beasts and dis- ease, and fighting off tropical in- sects, McElroy crawled his painful way through the tangled thicket. Yet so handicapped was he that he estimates he only covered four miles in nearly three weeks of crawling. The jungle at that point is well-nigh impassable and “he had no tools to cut. through.
