Senator Borah (Rep., Idaho) was the only one absent from Wednes- day’s meeting of the subcommittee. Those present besides Blaine were Hebert (Rep., R. I); Walsh (Dem., Mont.), and Dill, (Dem., Wash.). Considerable opposition to the beer bill on constitutional grounds was voiced at a public hearing last week by prohibition leaders, although others held it was within the power of congress to define an intoxicating beverage. Meanwhile, the prohibition repeal resolution drafted by another judici- ary subcommittee is awaiting senate consideration, and leaders look for its adoption in the senate, but ex- press grave doubt as to house ap- proval because of Speaker Garner's Objection. Garner holds the resolution is not in Mne with the Democratic platform calling for outright repeal and has served notice he will not permit a suspension of the house rules to take up the senate proposition if it pass- es the latter body. In the house an amendment to the Collier beer bill to permit nationwide advertising of the 3.2 percent bever- age in newspapers was introduced by Representative Erk (Rep., Pa.), at the request of the Pennsylvania News- paper Publishers association. SNOW BLOCKS ROADS IN PARTS OF STATE Crews Busy Clearing Highways in Northeastern Section of “North Dakota Reiping, China, Jan. 11—(7)—Jap- anese troops have put the Chinese defenders to flight and are in com- plete control of Chiumenkow, “the pass of the nine gates” through the great wall into Jehol, the Japanese legation announced Wednesday even- ing. Foreign military observers here were inclined to regard this action as less decisive than it appeared. ‘They interpreted it as a purely de- fensive measure designed to protect the Japanese force which occupied Shanhaikwan last week from a pos- sible flank attack. The Chiumenkow pass is 12 miles north of Shanhaik- wan. Also, these observers said, it is only} - one of a number of passes leading in- te Jehol with which Chang Hsiao- Liang, the North China commander, still can maintain contact. General Miyake, commanding the Japanese force, announced through the Japanese press that he intends to keep the pass closed but that he does not intend to advance inside the wall into China proper. Japanese hoped to isolate about ten thousand Chinese troops already in Jehol by closing off Chiumenkow as ‘well as the eastern gate of the great wall at Shanhaikwan. They suc- eeeded at Shanhaikwan in the terri- fic three-day battle of last week.

As soon as it became known that) Smith Reynonds was to have an heir, there was-much discussion as to the disposition of the father’s share in the Reynolds fortune, which share was estimated at between $15,000,000 and $20,000,000. Attorneys expressed doubt as to whether Libby Holman Reynolds ‘would have inherited it but under the terms of ‘the will of R. J.

Derby Wednesday. Exact figures on the amount the sheriff had been able to collect were not immediately available without detailed compilation but the treas- urer’s office said collections would not exceed one-third of the total. ‘This would leave Burleigh county with approximately $68,000 in un- paid persona! property taxes for the last four years alone. Percentages of the total personal property levy turned over to the sheriff for collection grew from 5.90 per cent in 1928 to 15.39 per cent in 1931. These figures do not include taxes on the Soo Line property, which were paid each year until 1931. A restraining order prevents the treas- urer from turning the Soo Line's 1931 personal property tax statement over to the sheriff pending decision on a claim now in federal court.

HOUSE SHOWS HEAVY {Bride Found Dead | SENTIMENT AGAINST DROPPING FARM BILL, Defeats Motion to Strike Out Measure’s Enacting Clause 161 to 100 JONES FORCED SHOW-DOWN| Efforts to Include Hogs, Flax Seed and Corn in Program Are Beaten Washington, Jan. 11—(AP)—The | house showed in larger majorities, Wednesday an overwhelming senti-; ment against killing the emergency farm bill. It rejected, 161 to 100, a motion to strike out the measure’s enacting clause which, if carried, would have ended the bill. Then quickly, after a plea from Chairman Jones not to further add or subtract from the commodities in the plan, house members divided 189 to 188 against eliminating hogs. An amendment to include flaxseed also was voted down as was one to include corn. The vote on the enactment clause was forced by Jones himself, who said “we might as well have a show-down on this bill.” Goss, Connecticut Republican who; originally sought to force the ballot,! had expressed a willingness to fore- go it. Said Bill Was ‘Dead’ Earlier, Senator Dickinson (Rep., Towa) had told President Hoover the bill was “dead.” One“of the chief Republican foes at the capitol, Clarke of New York, predicted its passage by the house and the vote on the enacting clause seemed to bear him out. Seven Commodities In Farm Bill Now Washington, Jan. 11.—(?}—Wed- nesday’s status of the emergency farm bill in the house: A motion was pending to strike out the enacting clause, thus kill- ing the bill. It contained seven commodities on which producers would be paid bounties: Wheat, cotton, tobacco, hogs, rice, dairy products, and peanuts. A motion was pending to elimi- nate hogs from the bill. Another vote was planned in an effort to strike out peanuts. Leaders strove for a final ballot before adjournment Wednesday ht. The bill, to be administered by the secretary of agriculture, would seek to guarantee to the producer a minimum price on his share of domestic consumption. This price would be based on a pre-war par- ity ratio with other commodities. Punds raised through a process- ing tax sufficient to make up this parity would be distributed to the farmer. Jones told the house that the flood of telegrams received against includ- ing hogs originated with the packers. Howard (Dem., Neb.) said 37 of 40 he had received came from the same “I hope the house will put no more commodities into the bill,” Jones many better purposes, but as already observed, group of our people who are not satisfied with the manner in which the capitol commission has perform- ed its duty then it would be a favor to me personally, and I am sure to the other members of the commis- Chamber | by the said. “I hope we may go right along with perfecting amendments and reach a vote tonight.” A new threat was raised to the bill’s progress, however.

A third death was at- jtributed to the storm also. The girls, Jennie and Mildred | Skjordal, 15 and 7 years old respec- tively, fel victim to sub-zero weather, wind and snow after a team of horses driven by their father, John Skjordal, ran away. They live in extreme northwestern Minnesota, 35 miles from the Canadian border. At Crookston, Minn., also in the 46, prominent in civic affairs there, died of a heart attack after shovel- ing heavy snow. Temperatures in Minnesota were as low as 17 degrees below zero Wed- nesday and traffic was hampered. The children, huddled in a blanket as they had been in the sleigh, were found dead a quarter mile from their home, after the father, not realizing how near the house was, had left them while he summoned aid. The three began walking after the team broke away, and trudged about two miles when the seven-year-old girl complained she was tired:” The father went to Kennedy and with several citizens set out to find the children. The older girl had taken off one shoe, apparently in an effort to rub her foot and stimulate circulation.

Revolts continued Wednesday in Spain and Alwar, India, and distur- bances, which took a heavy toll in casualties, also occurred Tuesday in Germany, Argentina, and Cuba.
