» “HOUSEAPPROVES EFIENCY BLL District Included to Extent of% $411,000 Out of $108,- | 500,000 Total. The House passed the second defi- ciency bill carrying a total of $108 500,000, of which approximately $411. ©00 s for the District, late yesterday, swithout a record vote. These funds are to meet an estimated shortage for the present fiscal year ending June 30, next, or moneys previously due. The largest item is $94,000,000 for the Veterans’ Bureau. A provision which would limit to $6,300,000 the amount the Navy Department would spend for fuel during the next four months remained in the bill without provoking discussion. One of the few amendments adopted increased the total for the enforce- ment of the maternity act during the remainder of the current fiscal year from $370.000 to $490,000. The bill also carries $5,000,000 for the initial Ppayment to the republic of Colombla under the treaty recently ratified as a_ settlement of the Panama canal controversy. Reject Hellum Proposal. With less than 100 members on the floor an amendment which wotld have made §$150.000 available for de- velopment of helium, with a view to using it to fill dirigibles. was we- Jected by a 2-to-1 vote. The amend inent was offered by Representative, Lanham, democrat, Texas, Who pleaded with the House to be more liberal in providing funds for ex periments in the use of the ga which is non-inflammable. and for onservation and developmept of the supply. The recent Roma' disaster ver would have occurred, Mr. Lan- m declared, if the airship had been filled with helium, instead of hydro- gen gas. The helium plant, at Fort Worth. | Tex.. said to be the only one in the world capable of producing the gas in large quantities, has been closed since last November 30, Mr. Lanham because funds have not been ilable to_continue operations. ~ Chairman Madden of the appropria- tions committee opposed the amend- ment on the ground that the subcom- mittee drafting the Army appropria- tion bill was making an investigation | 10 determine what appropriation should be made for helium develop- ment. Congress, Mr. Madden held, should not authorize further expendi- tures until the subcommittee had made its report. No request has come from any government department for additional funds to produce helium during the remainder of this fiscal year, he added. More Than $10,000,000 nt. During the discussion Chalrman An- thony of the subcommittee which is studying the helium _sltuation, as- serting that Congress had been “fair- Iy liberal” in providing funds for Jielium prodyction, sald that more Than $10,000,000 had been expended by the government since the beginning of the war in experiments With the =as and in developing the plant at Fort Worth. He declared that experience had shown it was impossible with exist- ing facilities to produce large quanti- ties of helium without excessive and smpractical expenditures. Expert en- Eineers have reported. he added, that aterial changes must be made inf the Fort Worth plant before it can be . operated again on an economical basis. Mr. Anthony’s estimate that it wwould have cost $1.200,000 to have fill- ed the airship Roma with helium was challenged by Mr. Lanham, who de- clareq the cost would not have been more than $216,000. re ort ' Worth plant during the five months prior to its closing, ac- cording to Mr. Lanham, producgd 2,500.000 cubic feet of hellum—nearly Twice the amount of gas needed, he #aid, to have filied the Roma.

WASHINGTON, IFUME CAPITULATE TOFASCISTI ATTACK Overthrow of Zanella Pr!;- claimed—Italian Govern- ment to Take Control. B the Associated Press. IUME, March 3.—The cémmittee of national defense proclaified the final overthrow of the provisional government under President Zanella and the constituent assembly today. The government capitulated after fierce fighting! The committee, upon assuming i power, asked the Italian governmen {to send a representative to admints- ter the government of the city until { auiet is restorea. | PALACE HEAVILY SHELLED. iFierce Fighting Marks Capture of Fiume—Nurftrous Casualties. | By the Assoclated Precs. | ROMEF, March 4.—A council of min- jisters today discussed at length the jeri in Fiume, which has compli- cated the already difficult situation confronting the new cabinet. The attitude of President Zanella, who has been forced to hand over the government to the national com- mittee of defense, does not #ppear quite clear here. Shortly after he la sumed power, n October last, he came to Rome and obtained & loan of 200,000.000 lire. He then expressed t belief in the Italian aspira- tions in Fiume, but upon his return to that place aimost immediately in- curred the enmity of the Italian ele- ment. Since early yesterday forces of Fas- cisti, legionaries and republicans have been' in_possession of the city. They captured the posts and telegraphs and before their advance the police organiz- ed by Zanella retired to the govern- ment palace. The government forces had as their first line of defense a wall _inclosing the small parky in which the palace stands. They Were soon obliged to retire inside the build- ing. 3 Machine Guns on Roof. Zanella's forces placed machine guns on the roof of the palace. whicn for some time checked the progress of their assailants. Deputy Giunta, lead- er of the Fascisti, then captured an armored motor boat belonging to the Italian navy In the neighboring bay of Abbazia, and with its guns «pened fire against the palace. Thirty scven- ty-five millimeter shells were thrown into the building, doing considerable damage. Italian torpedoboats in Fiume har- bor captured the motorboat, but the latter was again selzed by the Fas- cisti, who resumed their bombard- ment of the palace. The defenders then hoisted a white flag. The report that Zanella fled from the city is denied. According to latest reports he was still inside the palace, in the same room in which Gabriele d’'Annunzio was slightly wounded by the fire of the troops sent against him by former Premier Giolittl in 1920, Zanella Agrees to Retire. Zanella has signed a statement agreeing to retire forever from public life in Fiume and renouncing any aspiration of «a political char- acter. ‘Che committee of national defense has invited the Italian government to assume the administration of the city. The Zanella police force escaped to the neighboring village of Grenova, where, according to reports, it is en- rolling Croats for an attempt to re- capture Fiume. The Fascisti and legionarles are remaining under arms and have formed a national guard of honor, so as to be ready for an attack. One account places the losses of the Zanella forces at three killed and fifty wounded. KENTUCKY SENATE VOTE ON BILL CALLED ILLEGAL Lieutenant Governor Refuses to Sign Road Measure—Hunt in Vain for Governor. By the Associated Press. FRANKFORT, Ky., March 4.—Re- fusal of the lieutenant governor to sign a bill “as having legally passed the senate” and a diligent search until_early today for Gov. Morrow in an effort to get the bill in his hands, closed one of the most un- usual weeks in the history of the Kentucky general assembly. Other unique events of the week in the senate were a republican filibuster during which the demo- crats kept the senate continuously in session almost_all night, adjourning only after the lights had been turned out and an order to lock the doors of the senate to prevent members from leaving to break the quorum before adjournment until Monday. When one of the bills, the high- way department reorganization mea- sure was presented to Lieut Gov. Thurston Ballard Friday night he de- clined to sign it, claiming it had not been passed legally. The bill was sent to the speaker of the house, who signed it and started the chief clerk after the governor. The governor and his_secretary had not been found at midnight and the .clerk logked the bill_up for the night. When the bill was being prepared for the governor, a general exodus of republican members started. It was charged that they were trying to break the quorum, whereupon the doors were ordered locked and no member allowed out without permis- slon. WILL OF POPE BENEDICT SHOWS SMALL ESTATE Nephew Receives Few Belongings, ‘Which, Before Elevation, Were Publicly Registered. I By the Associated Press. i ROME, March 3.—The late Pope | Benedict when he"died was possessed of no property “except those few be- longiogs which before my assumption of the Roman pontificate were al- ready publicly registered in my name and located in the communes of Tegli, near Genoa, and Bologna.” These be- longings were left by him to his nephew, the son of his brother, Gio- vanni_Antonio Della Chiesa. The pontiff disposed of all of his personal estate after his elevation. These, facts became known today, when the will of Benedict was opened. It was dated February 20, 1916, and its contents indicated that it was drawn while the Pope reflected on the terrors of the war. The opening of the document took, place in the offices of Carlo Patriarca, consulting admin- istrator of the property of the holy see, before a notary and the neces- |sary witnesses. {DEATH CLAIMS COL.

By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, March 4—Cheaper an- thracite coal for thes public, to be made possible by slashing the profits of the mine owner rather than by re- ducing the laborers’ wages, is advo- cated by the United Mine Workers of America in a statement issued here today. “Mine owners freely admit that the cost of coal to the consumer is too high,” declares the statement. “The remedy they suggest, as a prelim- inary to the opening of new negotia- tions for a working agreement with the workers, is a reduction in the cost of digging the coal—the miners’ wage—which is placed by the oper- ators at $3.92 a ton.” The mine workers indicate that lower labor costs will represent a “bare living wag whereas they in- sist upon “a saving wage commen- surate with the hazards of the indus- try.” Coal Up to $16 a Ton. “Coal sells at New York, Philadel- phia and in other large cities at prices ranging up to $16 a ton, which represents the operator's own profits, profits of the railroads, profits of the coal sales companies, the royalty takers and distributing agents,” the statement sets forth. “The operators skillfully avoid any reference to a reduction of a sub- stantial nature in the matter of their own profits,” it continues. “It is, therefore, obvious that there must jbe some connection between the operators and all those who handle coal between the operators and the consumers, and, of course, from an interested standpoint, the operators can see deflation so far as the miners are concerned and a continuation of the earnings of operators, rallroads, sales companies and others.” Quote Commission Awai . In support of their argument, the United Mine Workers quote the fol- lowing passage from the anthracite coal commission's award, which is the haa.ls for the present working agreemént between the miners and operators: “The commission declines to com- mit itself to an award which could justly be considered as an encourage- ment to the so-called ‘vicious spiral’ in prices. This award, while pro- viding improved conditions for the employes, offers no justification for any advance In retail prices of coal, but, on the other hand, is consistent with a decline in prices. The award has not passed a great burden along to the consumer of coal.” “Despite this attitude by the com- mission,” the statement says, “not only was there no decline in coal prices, but the recent statement of the general policies committee of the operators declares that the in- crease granted by the commission was reflected jn the incressing mine prices of domestic sizes of anthra- cite.” The statement was authorized by presidents of the United Mine Work- ers’ executive boards in districts Nos. 1, 7 and 9 —_— POLICE TO BE GUIDES.

Y CHURCH, IN GOMA, HANGS FORMURDER |Efforts to Save Life Still Be- ing Made When Trap Is Sprung. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, March 4.—In the same state of apparent coma in which he lay during a hunger strike of forty- six days, Harvey W. Church, who killed two automobile salesmen to |obtain possession of an automobile, was hanged yesterday after being carried to the gallows in a chair in which he was seated when the trap was sprung. Almost until the moment the trap Was Sprung, attorneys were tr: to procure a stay of execution. minutes before the double murderer was hanged, Judge Scanlan denied & stay. four minutes before Judge Joseph David took similar action. A petition for a writ of habeas corpus was filed in the superior court less thah ten minutes before Church was hanged. Before it could be heard, Church was dead. ~ The last-minute efforts to save Church's life were made on humahitarian grounds and on the contention that Church was not in court during a sanity hearing. Church last summer killed Bernard Daugherty and Carl Ausmus, automo- bile salesmen. He lured at a time, to the basement of his home and beat them to death with a club, according to his confession. Coroner Peter Hoffman, working on the theory that Church had an accom- plice in the double murder, made an unsuccessful attempt to gain permis- sion from Church's parents and sis- iter after the hanging to examine Church’s body to determine whether the state of coma in which he has lain was not induced by drugs. Coro- ner Hoffman expressed the opinion that Church might have been given drugs to keep him from exposing a possible confederate. RAPS HAYS FOR FAILURE TO KICK OUT DEMOCRATS Representative Williams, in House, Censures Appointment Policy of “Prince of Mugwumps.” Will H. Hays, until today Post- master General, was facetiously cen- sured in the House vesterday by Rep- resentative Williams of 1illinois for his postmastership appointment pol- icy. He was stanchly defended-by Representative Fairfleld of Indiand, his home state, and Representativ, Blanton of Texas, contributed a scold- ing to the republicans for “sticking a knife” in their erstwhile leader, Who had made possible their big ma- jority, when he was leaving public Referring to himself as “an old-line republican representing a rock-ribbed republican district in Illinois,® Ar. Williams declared that Mr. Hays, “en- tering the cabinet as one of its most popular members, is quitting today by unanimous consent.” A “This,” Mr. Willlams continued, “is because in the mids of republicans he is today the prince of mugwumps. They may be wrong, Mr. Hays may be the greatest Postmaster General the country has ever seenm, but the cold fact remains’that the great army of loyal republicans who carried the last election does not view him in that light. “They feel under everlasting obli- gation to the movies for the great service they have rendered the re- publican party. “The people know this—that when the democratic party came into power in 1913 every republican postmaster and official was kicked out and a good democrat put in his place. The people approved that. No republican complains about it, because it was the natural and proper thing to do. Republicans remember the great housecleaning in 1913, and they don't understand why it is almost impos- sible to get a democrat out of an office he holds simply because he is a democrat. “It may be Mr. Hays is not re- sponsible for this situation, but in the mind of republicans he is looked upon as the guilty person and for that reason his retirement is univer- sally popular and satisfactory.” Mr. Willlams recited an original poem entitled “The Burial of Sir Will Hays.
