SPURRED BY MOSES' REMARK Reference to “Sons of Wild Jackasses” Brings Hint of | Removal From Leadership. SITUATION RECALLS RIFT ON PAYNE-ALDRICH BILL Progressives Watch “0ld Guard” for Possible Opposition in Next Primaries. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. Senator George H. Moses’ character- tzation of Republican Progressives in | the Senate who have joined in a coall- | tion with the Democrats on the tariff | bill as “the sons of wild jackasses” has served to emphasize still further the bitterness which has been developing for weeks between Republicans of the East and Republicans of the West. This bitterness does not augur well for the congressional and senatorial campaign which must be waged by the Republicans next year to retain control of Congress. Veteran politicians were recalling to- day the rift which grew un between the Republicans of the East and West back in 1909, when the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill was put through, with industrial tariff duties raised, in complete deflance of leaders and the rank and file in the Middle West and the West. That rift Jed not only to a turnover in the politi- cal control of Congress, but also in the end to the Bull Moose revolt and to Democratic_victory on a national scale. Senator Moses was criticized vigor- ously in the Senate yesterday becausc of his uncomplimentary description of the members of the Senate coalition. which has taken t‘c!lm'xe of tariff bill in the Senate. vr%n’g matter was first called to_the at- tention of the Senate by a Western Democrat, Senator Wheeler of Montana, the running mate of the Senator La Follette of Wisconsin on inde- pendent ive ticket in the 1924 presidential campaign. But the attack was carried forward by Republican Senators from the West, including Boran of Idaho, Norris of Nebraska, Nye of North Dakota, Brookhart of Iowa and cthers. ¥ . Anti-Moses Feeling Strong. The feeling was particularly strong against Senator Moses because he hap- rxu to be the chairman of the sena- demts pro. tempore. of Srate. s len ) cummm is expected to iead in ghe campaign for the election of Republican Senators next year. ‘Western Republican Senators and even Republican Senators from some n{thehmmsum-reflmthov he can conscientiously go into Western States and urge the re-election of Republicans whom he has characterized now as tne “sons of wild jackasses. Some of the progressives are seeking to learn whether Moses proposes to place other candidates in_the field sgainst them in the Republican next ‘!;lr. lmen more of the ©old Eastern stand-pal . Privately several or‘g: Republ Benators who have been regards regular as clocks, from the East as well as from the West, are deploring Senator Moses' “wisecrack” at the Western progressives, which was made at a dinner Thursday night given for New England business men. The sug- gestion has been advanced by some of these Senators that Senator Moses should resign from the chllrmnnnmr of the senatorial campaign committee. They believe that his usefulness as a camj leader in the West has been materially lessened. The Democrats in the Senate, on the other hand, are laughing up their sleeves. They have been waiting pa- tiently for the “break” which would give them a chance to pick up votes in the Middle West and the West. They have seen the press of the Western States, Republican as well as Demo- cratic, on fire against the tariff bill as it passed the House and as it was re- ported to the Senate. In coalition with Republican ~Progressives they have found it possible to play havoc with the Senate finance committee bill. They have heard Senator Reed of Pennsyl- vania attack the Western Progressives as “worse than Communists” and Jo- seph R. Grundy, president of the Pennsylvania Manufacturers’ Associa- tion, cast slurs on the “backward” States of the West and their repre- sentatives in Congress. They believe that a real opportunity is looming to build up their party in the West be- cause of resentment against the Repub- lican old guard of the East. Harrison’s Invitation. The Democratic party has followed the “Democratic donkey” for years, and as Benator Harrison of Mississippl pointed out, perhaps the “sons of wild jackasses” in the Republican West may find it easier now to go along with the Democrats. Western Republican Senators are commenting upon the fact that the Progressive and regular factions of the G. O. P. functioned perfectly together during the Hoover presidential cam- paign and much of the old bitterness appeared to have disappeared, Their mail from their home States, they say, now indicates that a very different feel- ing is alive, and that there is marked resentment because of the attitude of Eastern Republicans toward the de- ‘mands of the West. The present make-up of the Senate is 556 Republicans, 39 Democrats, 1 Farmer-Labor, and 1 vacancy, to which ‘Willlam S. Vare of Pennsylvania, a Re- (Continued on Page 2, Column 2.) FLYERS LOST IN ARCTIC TWO MONTHS TELL TRIALS \Party of Eight Canadians on Verge of Starvation After Crossing 200 Miles of Ice to Safety. The following is the first of a series of stories on the adventures of eight Canadians who attempted to fly to the Arctic two months ago in search of reported rich gold deposits. The party was lost for two months and was believed to have perished. The men, when found by Eskimos, were on the verge of starvation, and made their way 200 miles north of the Arctic Circle to the nmearest human habitation. The party will be cxiled amid the Arctic wastes perhaps for weeks, but the story of their adventures is coming by radio. hd BY RICHARD PEARCE. BATHURST INLET, VIA FORT CHURCHILL, November 8.—All members of the Dominion explorers party were moved Thursday after- noon from Cambridge Bay and divided between the Bathurst post of the Hudson Bay Co. and the Burnside base of the Dominion explorers. All speak of the wonderful treatment at Cambridge at the hands of Hudson Bay pblice and Canalaska Trading Co. there. One of the rescue planes is temporarily disabled at Burnside, but as soon as it is repaired the party will leave the Arctic for Winnipeg in the four planes now in Bathurst Inlet. Considerable difficulty was experienced by the three planes which left Bathurst Thursday morning for Cambridge. A low-lying fog from the open water in Bathurst Inlet started to float over Cambridge Bay shortly before their arrival there and it was only by picking up the dog sled trail of the party, made in their weary trudge to Cambridge Bay, were the machines able to reach the post.

BASEL 15 CHOSEN WORLD-BANK SITE City of Northwest Switzer- land Is Compromise Selec- tion of Committee. By the Associated Press. BADEN-BADEN, Germany, Novem- ber 9.—Basel, city of Northwest Swit- zerland, was chosen as the site for the new Bank for International Settle- ments by the organizing committee here today. “The choice was made after debate and discussion that began to be acri- monious at The Hague reparations con- ference in August. The delegates then found the problem of the bank’s site 1 | so thorny that they turned it over toa subcommittee of bankers, who have been meeting in Baden-Baden since October 3 to form the statutes and charter and choose the site.

NEW APPEAL TO PAY RANSOM IS RECEIVED Second Letter Sent by New York Furrier Abducted in China Thursday Afternoon. By the Associated Press. TIENTSIN, China, November 9.—A second letter received today from Aaron Brenner, kidnaped New York furrier, said, “For God's sake pay out this ran- som.” Shortly afterward telephonic com- munication which Brenner's brother had been maintaining intermittently with those who purported to be his ab- ductors ceased. It was believed the kidnapers had become alarmed and were desperate. Previously they had reduced their ran- som demand from the $500,000 Mexican which had been asked at first. Police and American consular author- ities said at noon they had examined the beautiful Russian blonde who had been in Brenner’s company prior to his disappearance thoroughly, but that she had thrown no light on the identity or whereabouts of kidnapers. Police held to their belief the ab- ductors were a band of Caucasians re- cently come here from Harbin, Man- churia. Brenner's first letter yesterday, addressed to his brother, said he had been warned he would be killed imme- diately if information of his plight was given to the police or newspapers. The abduction occurred Thursday afternoon. PLANE FLYING AT 130-MILE CLIP IS STATIONARY FOR HALF HOUR Flyer Reports He Was Unable to Make Progress, Due to Terrific Wind. By the Associated Press.

By the Assoclated Press. A proposal that the Senate recess un- til November 20 and that the coalition of Democrats and Western Republicans in control of tariff revision in the mean- time agree upon a complete program was made in the Senate today by Chairman Smoot of the finance committee. Senators Simmons of North Carolina and Borah of Idahc, leaders of the Democratic = Republican independent coalition, which has a majority in the tariff contest, immediately voiced pro- tests against the proposal. “We owe it to the country.” shouted Simmons, “to discuss this bill publicly. If the Senators who proposed this legis- lation are not willing to enter upon that discussion then we will enter upon it by ourselves for the enlightenment of the public.” Coalition Acecept Responsibility. Senator Borah, Republican, Idaho, said the coalition had taken over re- sponsibility for the tariff legislation in the Senate and asserted the group ac- cepted that responsibility. “In my judgment,” he added, “it is incumbent upon us to dispose of the bill as rapidly as possible. What the country wants is speed.” The Smoot recess proposal was un- expected and apparently a surprise to the coalition leadership. Borah said he thought most of the Senators already had made up their minds as to how they would vote on most of the rates in the bill, adding he did not wish to see the bill fail. “Some provisions of the bill are of vital moment to the American people,” he asserted. “If by our inaction or delay or neglect we shall lose some of its provisions we would be doing a substantial injury to the American people. “While I am interested in the rates,” he went on, “I am more interested in the administrative features of the bill as they relate to the executive and legislative bodies.” Refers to Flexible Provision. ‘This referred to the flexible provision of the tariff act which the coalition amended to take from the President and give to Congress authority to raise or lower dutles 50 per cent on recom- mendation of the Tariff Commission. Smoot's proposal was made shortly after the Senate convened. It was pre- ceded by Senator Norris of Nebraska, a Republican independent, offering an amendment designed to prevent radical pyramiding of selling prices on imported goods by the imposition of a tax of 99 per cent of the retail price after allow- ing for duty, freight, insurance and a profit of 25 per cent. Norris contended “enormous and un- conscionable profits” were being made on cheaply produced foreign articles apparently under a “gentlemen's agree- (Continued on Page 2, Column 4.) o kv REPORTED UNDER WAY Cotton Belt and Southern Pacific Negotiating in Line With Ripley Consolidations, Says Paper.

DISTRIGT HEADS VOTETOCONSOER APPEAL BY ALLEN Also Agree to Inquire Whether His Conduct at Trial Influenced Verdict. ATTORNEYS FEAR ATTACK ON PRATT HAD INFLUENCE lContend Defendant Had Equal Right at Hearing With His Accusers. The Distsct Commissioners today voted to entertain the appeal of Police- man Robert J. Allen from the findings of the Police Trial Board, which con- victed him on a charge of insubordina- tion and sentenced him to dismissal from the force, and at the samhe time agreed to give “careful” consideration to his request that an investigation be made to determine whether his con- duct at the trial Wednesday had any influence on the verdict. The action of the Commissioners was taken an hour after the receipt of the formal notice of the appeal, to which was coupled a letter urging that mem- bers of the Trial Board be called upon to certify whether the findings were in any way affected by Allen's actions at the trial. The appeal, together with the letter, was filed with the Commissioners at 10:30 o'clock this morning by H. Ralph Burton and Tench T. Marye, Allen’s attorneys, and at 11:30 o'clock replies were transmitted to the lawyers. Granted Usual 10 Days. In entertaining the appeal the Com- missloners granted Allen's counsel the usual 10 days in which to submit a written statement in support thereof. No indication was given, however, whether the Commissioners proposed to call upon the trial board members to certify as to the influence the police- man’s conduct had on their verdict. Holds He Was Privileged. Allen's letter asking an examination of the trial board members called at- tention to press reports of the trial which showed that Inspector Louis J.

Allen; and, in connection therewith, we desire to re- spectfully call your attention to several matters which” might possibly not be considered appropriate to present in a formal appeal. “According to press reports, when Allen had rested his case and made a move to retire, Inspector Stoll called him back and asked him if he did not think his conduct before the board, in making certain statements, constituted insubordination. “Certainly there can be no question in your minds, as in that of any one familiar with the rules governing the (Continued on Page 2, Col 3) SECOND VETERAN WINS LIFE PENSION DECISION Awarded to Victim of Tuberculosis Contracted After War—36,000 Similar Cascs Pending.

Working on the theory that Dr. Ernest Watzl, missing Cleveland chemist, was the victim of fou! play. with robbery planned to drag the Schuylkill River at the spot where his burned auto- mobile was found Thursday, in the belief that his body was thrown into the water. Jesse R. Nieman, chief of police of Royersford, said this theory was strengthened by information received from Dr. Watal's wife and from a of the missing chemist. Nieman ‘stated that Mrs. Watzl had that her husband carried about $5,000 in cash when he left his home for the East, presumably to make tests for water companies. “Friend” to Aid in Inquiry. This “friend” is expected to come here with a Newark, N. J., detective to in_the investigation. Chief Nieman declined to reveal the name of the “friend,” but stated that he had talked with the man and quoted him as saying that he was the “best friend Watzl ever had,” that the chemist had been “mixing with the wrong crowd” and that there was “good reason” to suspect_foul play. Mrs. Watzl received a letter from her husband mailed in Philadelphia Wed- nesday. In it he told her he had been appointed an engineer for that city. Philadelphia officials declared that no such appointment had been made and that Dr. Watzl was unknown to them. Auto Blow-up Mystery. Dr. Watzl also was said by the authorities to have informed his wife before leaving Cleveland that he was going to Philadelphia to do special work for the Mutual Water Co. there and that he also planned to visit a friend, “Dr. Bennett Hill of 2514 Race street.” ‘There is no such company listed in the Philadelphia City Directory and there is no Dr. Bennett Hill at the Race street address. Dr. Watzl's automobile, laden with chemicals, blew up mysteriously and burned to charred wreckage on the banks of the Schylkill River near Sana- toga, four miles from here. No trace of his body was found in the car and police believe he was slain, robbed of his money, his car set afire and his body thrown into the river. ‘The case was said to have many mys- terious angles to the police of Cleveland, Pottstown and Philadelphia. .

FIVE MEET DEATH IN FACTORY BLAST =2 Seven Others - Injured in Catastrophe Which Wrecks Elyria, Ohio, Plant. By the Associated Press. ELYRIA, Ohio, November 9.— Five men were killed and four men and three women probably fatally injured today in a gas explosion that ripped out the walls of the Times Spring Co. here. Three of the dead positively :denti- fled are: John Raple, 38; Louis Butcher, 40; Mike Swetz, 50. ‘The two others dead are believed to be W. H. Simpson and Louis Keyes. A flaming column of gas spurted more than 100 feet into the air and the walls of the plant crumpled like paper when a workman entered a gas-filled Toom in the building and struck a match to light a cigarette. ‘The detonation, heard for several miles, rocked buildings within a wide radius and all surrounding structures were splintered by fiying bricks and timbers. ‘Tools and equipment of the plant, a one-story building, were scattered about, some of them lodging in nearby trees. The explosion occurred as the men were going to work at 7 o'clock this morning. Husted saild he noticed the smell of gas as he stepped inside and noticed a man pulling out a cigarette. “Don’t light that match!” the fore- man shouted, but he was too late with his warning. The blast followed in- stantly. “There was a terrific roar and evrything seemed to collapse around us,” he said. \ Husted relapsed into unconsciousness after his brief acccunt and was taken to Elyria Memorial Hospital along with the other injured, who were not im- mediately identified, with the exception of himself and Mary Downs. W. B. Timms, owner of the plant and prominent both here and in Cleveland, said the main loss would be from the valuable tools and equipment destroyed. He was unable to estimate the dam- age, however. Surrounding homes were threatened by the flames for a time. Windows were reported shattered within a radius of half a mile.
