4 A ALSHTO ASKU. S, | ECONOMIC PROBE" Senator for Sweeping In- » vestigation by 15 Mem- bers of Body. An investigation into the “economic #tate of the Nation” by a special com- mittee of 15 Senators will be proposed in the Senate today by Senator Walsh, Democrat, of Massachusetts. 5 Under the resolution the committee would be empowered to investigate the status of agricultural conditions, particularly overproductlon, failure of farmers to resort to co-operative meas- ures and the effects thereof, unem- ployment and curtailment of produc- tion and their effects, the extent to which existing tariff laws affect in- dustries, whether Government agen- cles are functioning efficiently in aid of agriculture and whether the Com- merce Department is properly organ- ized to promote foreign commerce. Question of Information. ‘The inguiry would include the ex- fent to which the public is provided by Government agencies with “correct and adequate information as to the existence and extent of “unemploy- mant as to present prospective changes in the production of com- modities and as to the cost of living.” The resolution also provides for an fnvestigation to determine the exterit to which “the prevalent consolidation and reconsolidation of indussrics and, the issuing of watered stock increases the costs of living and brines about economic condluon‘s that are unsound &nd insecure.” Would Set Record. Senator Walsh said that “such a Bweeping investigation, with recom- mendations for constructive action to Temedy the depressed conditions of agriculture in the West, of the cotton- raising industry of the South and the unemployment and extensive curtail- ment of production in_the manufac- turing centers of the East has never before been attempted. “The resolution is-a challenge to the lleged claim of prosperity which is oonfined to the groups who are al- ready financially prosperous and does not pervade the industrial workers or agriculturists of the countr: Cdmge o Admits 11 Store Robberies. John West, colored, 31 years old, 48 Gray court southwest, is reported by the police to have admitted having yobbed 11 stores the past few weeks. He was arrested by Policeman W. C. Curtis of the fourth precinct and questioned by Detectives Edward XKelly and George Darnall. West is said by the police to have declared he only went to the stores in search of cash, but did admit, they say, to tak- ing a quantity of clothing from one establishment.

HILLES AND BUTLER DIFFER OVER 1228 Former Sees G. 0. P. Victory; Latter Says Wet Strength May Beat Party. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, February 28.—Con- flicting analyses of national sentiment on‘the 1928 presidential election came today from Charles D. Hilles, vice chairman of the Republican national committee, and President Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia Uni versity. Mr. Hilles is now on a tour of the West studying the political situation. Dr. Butler has returned from a speak- ing tour of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota. Mr. Hilles’ prediction of “a sweep- ing victory for the Republican party in New York State and the Nation in 1928, on the basis of the prosperity of the last six years, was met by Dr. Butler's statement that the farmers of the Middle West are preparing to vote the Democratic ticket ““to pun- ish President Coolidge for vetoing the McNary-Haugen act.” Sees Wet Sentiment. Dr. Butler sees in the Middle West for repeal .1nrl “a tremendous sentiment of the prohibition amendment” “'great omm«luon to a third pr dential tern: “Those whom I saw and addressed indicated as strong a hostility to a third presidential term as they did to the Federal prohibition law,” Dr. Butler said. Gov. Smith of New York, Dr. Butler declared, seems to be “not only the strongest but pretty nearly the only” presidential possibility in the Demo- cratic_party. “I heard some talk of Gov. Ritchie and some of Senator Reed of Missouri,” he said, “but everywhere 1 found people eager to know more about Gov. Smith, and they were kindly disposed toward him. “If the Democrats name a wet and the Republicans a dry, I fear the Re. publican would be defeated.” Mr. Hilles, in a statement forward- ed to his office here from California, pointed to “bank earnings, savings bank deposits, transportation figures, mercantile sales, production in all lines, prices lower than in 1920 and full employment™ to back his predic- tion of Republican victory. Cites Debt Reduction. He also cited reduction in Govern- ment expenditures and the public debt and a $350,000,000 Treasury surplus, “Does it seem reasonable that a country so well governed under Presi- dent Coolidge would turn from a party which has made such peaceful and happy prevalent conditions pos- sible?” Mr. Hilles asked. Without mentioning the third term matter, he said “the President’s un- impeachable integrity, his uncommon common sense and his homely virtues are even more appreciated now, be- cause of the result they have helped to _achieve.” Gu'fn“EN‘s ‘Mustard‘ Phillips Terrace Apartment 1601 Argonne Place Just North of Columbia Rd. at 16th St. We have 1'" Just a few of these won- derfall wed apartments ange |tll Ideal locations One room, kitchen. tile hlh and_re- Two, rooms. klleh-n. hmklm room, path’ a on' hall and hall. 87, Four Soome, kitehen.
