3 - DEBENTURE DEFEAT HELD UPTO HOUSE, Administration Believed to Be Pinning Hopes on Lower Branch. BY TREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. Hoover administration leaders in Con- gress are chagrined but by no means disconcerted or discouraged by the Sen- ate's action in grafting the export debenture plan onto the farm relief bill. They acknowledge that a ticklish con- gressional situation has now arisen, in- volving possibly a grave constitutional controversy between the House and the Senate, but the President’s managers on Capitol Hill do not fear the eventual outcome. They now pin their hopes almost ex- elusively on the House of Representa- tives. If the lower branch stands firm against the debenture, administration spokesmen assert, it cannot possibly be- come law. Such firmness on the part of the House, moreover, regular Re- publican leaders declare, will eventually mean farm relief legislation of some sort, and of a sort satisfactory to the ‘White House. “Insurgents” in a Dilemma. They argue that the insurgent Pro- gressives from the West—the debenture bloc—will not “dare” go home after the special session with a record of having frustrated relief legislation. They will, in other words—as administration lead- ers calculate—fight on for what they would prefer, viz, the debenture plan, but sooner or later will take what they can get, viz, & farm bill minus deben- ture. For the moment, this writer learns in authoritative Republican quarters, three lcongre.sslonal alternatives exist, as fol- jows: 1. The House can take the position that the Senate exceeds its constitu- tional authority in initiating “revenue” legislation by putting the debenture scheme into. the farm bill. If the clause. In that way an immediate test of strength on debenture in the House would be provided. The Republican leadership of the House was reported today to be still divided over the question of rejecting the bill as amended by the Senate on the constitutional grounds. The Senate was appealed to yesterday by Senator Watson of Indiana, the Republican leader, not to indulge in any debate which might create ill-feeling between the two branches of Congress. ‘The Republican leader took the posi- fon that the House ought to receive the Senate bill so as to permit a con- ference committee to deal with disputed sections. This view also was taken by Senator Reed, Republican, of Pennsylvania, who, although an opponent of the debenture plan, contended that the Senate had the right to initiate it. Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the Democratic leader, contended that if the House refused to receive the bill “all hope for farm relief at this session is gone.” “And,” he added, turning to the Re- publican side, “if for political pur- poses you encourage the body at the othe rend of the Capitol to decline to receive this legislation you take the responsibility for its failure.” Violation of Promises Charged. Senator Harrison, Democrat, of Mis- sissippi, charged that Republican lead- ers were endeavoring to have .ne House refuse the farm bill. “Just a few days ago” he asserted, “the Senator from New Hampshire (Moses) told us that it was an affront to the House to pass the debenture and that the House would send the bill back to us. Was he speaking from the cards or was he speaking for the Presi- dent?” The Mississippian declared that never before had the Republican party been “so guilty of violating _their promises” as in the current farm bill. Harrison _read telegrams from con- stituents which asked him not to in- sist_on the debenture plan because it might peril farm legislation, and charged that these were “propaganda” fostered by high Government officials. “There has never been any equal to this propaganda.” he shouted. “The President has three secretaries and one of them sits in the House of Repre- sentatives and presents his view.” How Senators Voted. ‘The roll call yesterday on the farm bill follows: For the bill: Republicans—Blaine, Couzens, Senate, through its debenture majority, denies the House contention and stands pat, a deadlock will ensue on a wholly gollateral question entirely unrelated to the agricultural issue. It will mean, @ipart from any merits of its own, in- definite postponement of farm relief. May Submit to Conference. 5 2. The House and Senate bills as ssed by the respective branches of ongress can be sent to conference tween them and an attempt made ere to iron cut the debenture and ther differences, with view to agree- ent upon some mutually satisfactory easure. 3. The House can pass a special rule, ‘hich would be necessary under the cir- lumstances. summarily “throwing out” e debenture clause from the farm bill nt over by the Senate and refusing consider it. This would automatic- ly end any possibility of farm legis- administration Senate lerate. The expectation, on the con- ry, is that rather than face their Borah, Brookhart, Capper, Cutting, Frazier, Howell, Johnson, La Follette, McMaster, McNary, Nor- beck, Norris, Nye, Pine, Schall, Short ridge, Steiwer, Thomas of Idaho, Van- denberg—21.

Against the bill: Republicans—Allen, Bingham, Burton, Dale, Deneen, 3 Fess, Gillett, Glenn, Goff, Gould, Greene, Hale, Hastings, Hatfield, Her- bert, Kean, Keyes, Moses, Oddie, Pat- terson, Phipps, Reed, Robinson of In- diana, Sackett, Smoot, Townsend, Wal- cott, Warren, Waterman and Wat- son—31. . Democrats—Wagner and Walsh of husetts—2. 2 Nt he cight Senstors not voting, it was announced that the following were for the bill—Jones, Washington, Re- publican; Kendrick, Wyoming, and ricultural constituents in the wheat nd corn belts empty handed, and di- ctly responsible for another period f blasted farm relief hopes, the de- nture insurgents would yield as grace- lly as they could and permit a non- benture bill to be Leaders Apparently Confident. Hoover leaders in Congress seem to the situation will develop rapidly, nd more or less along the lines herein jescribed. Meantime, they insist, cur- nt events on the Hill give neither the sident nor themselves any genuine use for downheartedness as to the ture. The burden of their song is t it will all come out in the wash. hey did not think the process would be strewn with thorns as it is, but by e end of the Summer or the begin- ing of Fall, at the outside, they're per- aded the situation will have righted 1f.

FREEMAN Bishop Assails Lobbying by Church as Injurious to Prestige. Appointment of committees, reports and open forum discussions marked this morning's session of the annual convention of the Protestant Episcopal Diocese of Washington, which was opened in Epiphany Church last night by Bishop James E. Freeman, who administered a rebuke to church lobby- ists and predicted that the mixing of church and state must inevitably result | in damage to the church. The bishop said the church had “lost prestige and signally weakened its in- fluence” whenever it had attempted. through organized effort, to direct and control political action. “The pages of history disclose the sad and tragic story of confusion and discord where church and state have been in conflict. If the church lowers its standards to become an autocratic dictator in_the concerns of legislative action or the choice of political candi- dates, it loses the respect and confi- dence of right-thinking men.” Secretary Ts Re-Elected. Rev. H. Allen Griffith; Soldiers’ Home chaplain, was re-elected secretary of the diocese at this morning's meeting, which was held in St. Stephen’s Church, Six- teenth and Newton streets. Bishop Freeman announced the fol- lowing appointments: Permanent as- sistant _secretaries, Rev. E. Pinkney Wroth, Rev. W. R. Moody, J. L. Johns and O. R. Singleton; committee on | rights of clergy to seats, Rev. M. F.| Minnick, Rev. J. J. Queally and Rev. | E. M. Thompson; committee on lay | representations, H. L. Bryan, G. M. Husted and Dr. H. M. Bowen, and the committee on canons and other busi- ness, Rev. George F. Dudley, D. D., and Rev. Robert Johnston, D. D., D. C. L. Among the reports submitted and ap- proved were those of the standing com- mittee, the treasurer of the diocese, the state of the church, on canons, church pensions, the trustees of church char- itles and the board of examining chaplains. Bishop Freeman’s Address. “The maintenance of any organ- ized system designed to coerce legis- lators or to dictate legislation, State or national, is utterly foreign to a right conception of the church’s func- tion,” Bishop Freeman declared last night at the opening session of the convention in Epiphany Church. “We have condemned, and rightly 50, the influence brought by organized lobbies to affect legislation in the in- terests of certain corporate bodies that are seeking a selfish advantage,” he continued. - “It is really reprehensible for the church, or any of its chosen agencies, to use like methods. “Whenever the church, through or- ganized effort, has attempted to direct and control political action,” he said, “and thus has departed from its spe- cific spiritual functions, it has lost prestige and signally weakened its in- fluence. Its place as the conserver of things ethical and spiritual is undis- It has to do with principles rather than policies. If it lowers its standards to become an autocratic dic- tator in the concerns of legislative ac- tion or the choice of political candi- dates, it loses the respect and confi- dence of right-thinking men. Not in- frequently in recent years has it in dulged in the discussion of matters economic and political and set forth conclusions that were unsound, uneco- nomic and unwarranted by the evi- dence submitted, Critical Hour for Church Cited. “The dictum of Washington, ‘no en- tangling alliances,’ may well serve the church in its present critical hour,” Bishop Freeman continued. “The page of history discloses the sad and tragic story of confusion and discord where church and state have been in conflict. Praise ‘of Move by Mary Roberts Rinehart Spurs Membership Drive. Junior Theater the An indorsement of Rober r";: ardman_Park by Mary ghl:’ehlfl, the writer, who sees this movement to provide worthwhile drama for young people a civic insti- tution of real value, gave impetus to- day to the membership drive being con- ducted by a _committee headed by Dr. Joseph R. Sizoo. "‘Il?he Junior Theater idea appeals to me strongly.” sald Mrs. Rinehart. It is a small but important beginning of a movement which I think we shall see widely adopted before long. I believe the trend is toward permanent repertory theaters in the larger cities, theaters which will be as much a civic institu- tion as the art galleries and museums, supported by the community in just the same way.” The Junior Theater is enfleavoring to secure a supporting membership of 1,500 people for next season, membership carrying with it & 10 per cent reduc- tion’ privilege on two tickets for every performance of the season. For its first season the Junior The- ater, started by Miss Jane Ogle, Mrs. Glenna Smith Tinnin and Miss Kath- erine Brown, has had the support of a small group of influential persons. The | whole purpose of the theater is to pre- sent the vest best in drama to appeal to the discriminating and to act as a i Conference Set for Today. E 1t is likely that Senator Watson of ndiana, Republican leader, and other Republican Senators, will confer this /afternoon with House leaders regarding _%his matter. They are anxious that the ouse send the bill to conference with- put delay and they fear that if the ouse returns the bill to the Senate on onstitutional grounds it will lead to Hong debate. If the House determines to receive the {bill and send it to conference a motion Amay be made agreeing to the confer- fence and instructing the House con- [erees to disagree to the Senate amen fment.

Our age is unwilling to see the church involved in political debates and discussions, and those who indulge in such practices disqualify themselves as religious leaders, Unfortunately the ohief sufferer in these matters is the church itself. “That a political campaign should again revive the bitterness and con- tentions of party strife, and that in cer- tain quarters it should be made the oc- casion for harsh and ungenerous judg- ments, has shocked the sensibilities of a vast majority of our people. We cannot believe that this spirit is to prevail, nor can we believe that it represents the opinion of more than a bare minority our people. Nevertheless, it contains a solemn warning that must be heeded, else it may constitute a menace to those high ideals and purposes for which this great republic stands. Higher Aims Stressed. “To higher ends must the church ad- dress itself, if it is to hold its place of power and influence as the conserver of the noblest and best interests of the State and Nation. We are living in a new age of better understanding and kindlier judgments. The ties of fellow- ship are more closely knit and a better spirit is abroad. To halt the progress of this spirit or to seek to impair in any wise its growth, is to do violence to the highest and best interests of life.” Bishop Freeman was outspoken re- garding other topics of widespread i terests. Touching on the Book of Com- mon Prayer, adopted at the recent General Convention of the Episcopal Church, he declared that “law and loyalty alike” demand strict adherence to its forms. “It is not for any individ- bishop or priest,” he asserted, “to | avenue, day Maryland town voluntarily. STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, WEDNESDAY, MAY 15, SUSPECT IS TAKEN IN DEATH CRASH Colored Youth Is Accused of Being Driver of Auto Jackley Pursued. Edward Martin, 24-year-old colored youth arrested last night by members of the central bureau homicide squad in connection with death of a revenue agent whose car was wrecked near Ber- wyn, Md., vesterday morning, waived extradition today and returned with police to the Maryland town, after a warrant had been sworn out charging him with manslaughter. Dano N. Jackley, 48 years old, the agent killed, was in an automobile with three other revenue men, and engaged in a 15-mile pursuit of a suspected rum car. According to police reports, the big machine, in which the agents were riding, came in contact with the pur- sued machine, which it was attempting to pass, skidded off the road and crash- ed into a telephone pole. The other agents escaped serious injury but Jack- ley died en route to Providence Hospital. First Opposed Removal. Investigation by Headquarters De- tectives Edward Kelly, George Darnell and John Fowler of the homicide squad, co-operating with Prince Georges County authorities, resulted in tracing the car alleged to have been pursued by the revenue agents and the arrest of Martin as the driver. The colored youth, who was arrested at’ Twelfth strect and Pennsylvania announced his intention of fighting extradition to Maryland at the time of his arrest and maintained that attitude until shortly before noon to- when he decided to return to the A W. Hepburn, member of the county police force, appeared at police head- quarters this morning armed with the warrant obtained from Magistrate Rob- ert E. Joyce, alleging manslaughter. Police investigating the license num- ber on the car trailed by the revenue agents, U-7979, found it to_have been issued in the name of Miss Alice Rosasco, 1249 G street southeast. Miss Rosasco, found by police, readily admitted having permitted an acquaint- ance to take out a license in her name merely as an accommodation. That license, S-1234; was issued Janu- ary 9. Then a duplicate, S-5669, was issued January 31, and the last tag, U-7979, April 11, as a second dupli- cate. Martin Refuses to Talk. Aaron Tractenberg, who has an au- tomobile accessory establishment in the vicinity of Tenth street and Rhode Is- land avenue, is said. by police to have admitted ownership of the car to which the trail of the tag led and to have named Martin as its driver Monday night. He said the car was returning from the country and declared it con- tained no liquor. Martin has refused to talk, Paul Hart and Frank Jochim, in- vestigators for the commissioner of motor vehicles in Baltimore, were in Berwyn today inquiriug into the cir- cumstances surrounding the accident. Jackley, who had becn in the Pro- hibition Bureau service tor eight years, is survived by his widow and a 14-year- old daughter, Ruth. The body will be sent to Cameron, W, Va, for burial tomorrow. DEAN DOYLE WILL AID LANGUAGE STUDY GROUP G. W. U. Professor Is Appointed Member of Harvard Council on Hispanic LiteTature. Dean Henry Gratton Doyle of George Washington University has been appointed a 'member of the Har- vard Council on Hispano-American studies, it was announced by the university today. Prof. J. D. M. Ford of Harvard Unl- versity, is chairman of the council, which, operating under a auspices of Harvard, will compile a bibliography of Hispano-American literature as its first task. Dean Doyle was graduated from Harvard in 1911, Prior to coming to the local university, where he is dean of men and professor of romance languages, he was instructor in the same subject at Harvard for three years. He is a corresponding member of the Hispanic Society of America and for seven years has been associate editor of Hispania, the journal of the American Association of Teachers of Spanish. set aside the precise order of this church, or to regard himself as superior to the law of & body of which he is the servant.” After pointing out that the Episcopal Church had “dared to challenge the world on the question of Christian unity,” Bishop Freeman expressed the opinion that the solution of this prob- lem 15 to be found not in a definite pro- gram or in a prescribed formula, but in a fraternal spirit advanced by those in- terested. “A group of men widely dif- ferent in taste and temperament,” he said, “will, under the spell of comrade- ship, find their minds singularly af- fected by a common point of view.” A further expression of his views was con- tained in the assertion, “Uniformity we may not seek, but unity, Christian fel- lowship, we dare not refuse.” Bishop Freeman also urged consid- eration of the financial problems of the rural clergy. “That a clergyman capable of administering the affairs of a parish,” he declared, “should receive a wage below that of unskilled labor and at a time when the cost of living has risen from 50 to 60 per cent, is not only inconsistent but utterly inequitable.” GINGER ALE “Go to Hell!” Dawes Answers: Scribes’ Query on Knickers By the Assoclated Press. “You can go plumb to hell, that's my business!” said the Ambassador, pulling hard on his undersiung pipe. That was the answer Charles G. Dawes, newly appointed Ambassador to the Court of St. James, gave newspaper men today in reply to an inquiry as to whether he was taking along to Lon- don a supply of knickers. Before replying, however, he asked whether a diplomatic answer was want- ed or whether an answer that the ques- tion deserved was in order. The corre- spondents were referring to the cus- |tomary silk knickerbockers worn by diplomats at King George's functions. Is Guest of Hoover. Gen. Dawes was initiated into the foreign service today amid an air of cheerfulness. He is a guest of President Hoover at the White House and went over to the State Department during the forenoon to call on Secretary Stim- son and receive his instructions pre- paratory to sailing for England on the steamship Olympic from New York on June 7. He spent more than an hour with Secretary Stimson and afterward posed with the Secretary for camera- men. “Don’t put away the pipe,” remarked Secretry Stimson to the Ambagsador as the pictures were about to be taken. The new Ambassador, with a new pigskin portfolio holding his documents and bearing on its side in his own handwriting “C. G. Dawes, Evanston, Ills, U. S.

He said Lady Astor, daughter of the State of Virginia, who occuplies a seat in the British House of Commons, had sent him and Mrs. Dawes an invitation to a house party in their English home on July 16. The Ambassador said he had sent a message to Lady Astor say- ing he could not make any important engagements before arriving in London. “Gen.

Parker, former bookkeeper | and cashier for the local office of United Artists Corporation, was indicted today by the grand jury on a charge of em- bezzling $548.78 of the corporation’s funds. Parker is in jail awaiting trial on an indictment reported against him March 26 on a charge of complicity with Louis W. Hoffman and Dottie King in connection with the performing of an illegal operation on Miss Eleanore Lehman, for whose death Hoffman is serving a term of 30 years in the peni- tentiary. Parker is said to have used the money for his own use. The indictment is based on a check-up by an auditor of the company for reimbursement by a surety company which was on Parker’s bond. - Three Held on Screen Charge. John J. O'Dea, Albert Stewart and George A. Walker are charged in other indictments with possession of an auto- mobile equipped with a smoke screen. No charge of using the device is made.
