CAPPER CONDENNS DEBENTURE PLAN' Lines- Seem to Be Holding Firm, Although Shifts | Are Rumored. (Continued From Pirst Page) the bill in conoference or tie up indefi- nitely the farm relief biil. It is doubt- fui thmt the Senate would be able to resist: the pressure for action on the farm bill long. And if the debenture were placed in the tariff bill by the Senate, there would be plenty of pres- sure to speed that bill, too, through the | conference stage. The President has been fully informed | regarding the situation in the Senate, | where the debenture plan is soon (o be’| Senator Watson of Indiana, | voted on. Republican leader, House yesterday morning. was at the White the end several Senators who have been inclined to vote for debenture, swing over to the support of the admin- istration. It is veported that Senator Copeland of New York, who said during a speech in the Senate attacking the farm bfil | that he expected to hold his nose and | vote for the debenture, is not entirely | happy over the developments of the last few days. ing in the bill the debenture clause which he does not approve, by his own vote, | is giving him cause for thought. Senator Nye of North Dakota has said, and other Senators have indicated, that il the President should announce he would veto the farm bill if it con- tained the debenture pian, he, Senator Nye, would vote against debenture, al- though he proposes to vote for it if such a statemént is not forthcoming from the President. It was said yester- day in informed quarters that the Pres- ident would make no such statement regarding it as the province of Congress to pass legislation and the province of the Chief Executive to approve or veto the legislation after it comes to him. There is strong belief, however, that the President would veto the farm bill if the debenture plan were in it when it was sent to him for approval. He does not believe it sound economicaliy or of advantage to the farmers. However, the fight over the debenture plan in the Senate might have far- Teaching consequences if it goes against the President. The forces are not ignorant of that fact. It might presage serious and successful efforts to_disregard the recommenda- tions of the President when the tariff bill is yp for consideration in the Sen- ate. It might presage, too, future align- ments between the Democrats and the Progressive Republicans from the West ministration throughout the present Congress, It is. éxpected that over ‘the week end there will be pulling and hauling by both sides in the debenture fight. The administration leaders believe that they will succeed in killing the deben- ture. And even some of the support- ers of the debenture plan are skeptical that they will be able to defeat the ad- | ministration, with its tremendous power | when the roll is called. Hoover Principles Praised. Senator Capper came stoutly to_ the defense of the administration and its farm relief plan during the debate yes- terday. - He said, in part: “Fortunately we have & leader in President Hoover, who has demonstrated for many years that he has an extraor- dinary capacity in solving big prob- Jems.

McCoy, director of the hy- genic, laboratories of the Public Health | Service, said yesterday he had identi- | fied as cerebrospinal fever, “or the dis- | ease popularly known as meningitis or | spinal meningitis,” the malady which | fatally attacked two persons at Rocky Mount, N. C. A greater prevalence of the disease !than has existed since the war, he !added, has been reported this Winter throughout the country. Dr. McCoy referred to the cases in Rocky Mount as spectacular .and unusual, but said he saW No Teason for alarm. He said the disease Is caused by an infection of the brain and spinal cord {by an organism, the meningococcus, | the germ being strictly a -parasite of | the human body.

Y, May 4—The Cruiser Richmond of the Naval Scout- ing Fleet was searched from bow to stern for liquor by 11 cistoms men, 36 hours after it anchored in the Hud- son, it was learned today. No liquor | was found. The search, believed to have been the first ever made here on a naval | vessel, was the result of an anony< mous letter sent to the office of Maurics amppell, prohibition administrator, hi id the Navy was “wet inside 11 as_outside.” | "The strictest of vigilance was en- forced aboard every ship in the fleet | yesterday, due to the inspection of the | Richmond. Every sailor returning from shore leave was searched by the offi- cer of the deck and his men. Failure of the searching squad to {find any liquor probably will mean that no other ships of the flcet will be inspected, a customs agent said. A picked squad of “diplomatic” cus- toms men, on boarding the vessel, went to Capt. Hugo W. Osterhaus, who told them to search where they liked. Capt. Osterhaus assigned an_officer to work with the inspectors. Lockers were opened, bunks pried under, dufflz bags scattered about and the rooms where the ship's stores are kept were checked.
