JONESBORO, Ark., June 6.—Visiting | his home today for a few hours before | leaving for Dexter, Mo., and then for Washington, Senator T. H. Caraway, chairman of the Senate lobby commit- tee, said he had no intention at present of ordering a subpoena issued for Bishop James Cannon, jr, who yesterday walked out on the lobby committee, ' “I see no occasion to insist on the bishop testifying,” Caraway said. “The investigation is aimed at lobbying and not political matters. I do not know all the facts that have developed since | I left Washington, but as he came at | his own request, if he did not care to answer questions he should be excused, 1s the view I have taken.” Senator Caraway yesterday canceled an engagement to speak before the Arkansas Bar Association convention at Fort Smith, and it was reported there that he had left hurriedly for Washing- ton as a result of the controversy be- tween the committee and Bishop Can- non. He explained he canceled the Fort Smith engagement in order to make a brief visit home. Caraway's Return Awaited. By the Associated Press. Awaiting the return of Chairman Caraway from Arkansas, the puzzled Senate lobby investigators today pon- dered the question of what to do with Bishop James Cannon, jr., for refusing to answer questions and for walking out on the committee. Senator Walsh, Democrat, of Mon- tana, the acting chairman, said no ac- tion would be taken until Caraway reaches Washington. His office received a telegram from him today from Jones- ‘boro, Ark., his home. The telegram did not mention returning to Washington. Cannon is supported by Caraway in ‘maintaining the committee was not em- wered to inquire into political activ- e R MOORE T0"BE SENT T0 LOOKOUT FARM Young Pitcher Is to Be Bought by ‘Nationals for $17,500 Over Option Price.

NEW YORK, June 6.—Although she has resided within commuting distance of New York City almost half a century, Miss Ellen Terry has never seen a sky- scraper nor been in the subway, and next Wednesday she will have her first ride on a railroad train. The occasion for the trip is that Miss E. Douglas Southwick, whom she has served since Miss Southwick was a babe in arms, is moving for the Sum- mer from Larchmont, N. Y., to Ogon- quit, Me. But even then the journey has ‘been so arranged that the Servant will not have to face the bustle of New York. “I knew the Grand Central Terminal would simply prove too much of a shock for the start of her initial train ride,” said Miss Southwick, who has arranged to have her party travel by automobile to Stamford, Conn., to board the train.

By the Associated Press. FRIEDRICHSHAFEN, Germany, June 6.—The Graf Zeppelin, home from her 18,000-mile voyage to South America and the United States, landed at Friedrichshafen at 7:22 p.m. (1:22 pm. Eastern standard time). The Graf thus completed safely a cruise lasting 19 days, during which she made landings in Spain, Brazil and the United States and flew over the North African coast. FIGHTS WIND AND STORM. Graf Dodges Rhone Valley in Flight to Switzerland. ‘The Graf, having dodged a storm area in France, was fighting against a strong north wind and was flying at a height of about 600 feet. ‘The Graf Zeppelin shortly before had passed over Salins, France, northeast of Lyons, and approximately 200 miles from Friedrichshafen. The Graf had taken a northeast course from the region of Valence di- rectly toward the Swiss border in order to avoid a terrific electric storm in the Rhone Valley in the Lyons region. The G which had struck up the Mediterranean coastline toward the Rhone Valley and home, had been ex- pected to reach Priedrichschafen after its 18,000-mile journey to the two Amer- icas, at about 8 p.m. (2 p.m. Eastern standard time), but probably will be 3 O.The ship had averaged a speed of ate. about 60 miles per hour from Seville. Just 31 minutes was spent yesterday at Seville, after an ocean crossing from Lakehurst occupying 62 hours and 52 minutes, more than 12 hours in excess of the 50 hours in which Dr. Hugo Eckener, the ship's master, had ex- pected to make the trip. The delay was caused by storms off the Iberian peninsula. From Seville the Graf turned toward Cadiz to evade head winds. Among the passengers disembarked at Seville were Mrs. Mary Pierce, American woman, whose husband met her there, and the Infante Don Al- fonso de Orleans, cousin of the King of Spain. Local pride expressed itself in color- ful decorations. Flags were floating from most houses and at the Zeppelin works in the Maybach engineering shops. A great laurel wreath commemorat- ing the first South American flight was reacy to be handed over with due ceremony to Dr. Hugo Eckener by a rep- Tesentative of the town. LI CRYSTALLIZED DYNAMITE KILLS MINING OPERATOR Explosive, Being Removed From Home to Avoic Danger, Is Jarred in Automobile. By the Associated Press. DENVER, June 6.—Park Hill, a fash- jonable Denver residence district, was rocked by explosion of a case of dyna- mite last night, which also took the life of Dennis J. Phillips, 23, mining man of Denver and Caro, Colo. Phillips was en route in his auto- mobile to a mountain home site to dispose of the dynamite when the ex- plosion occurred. Windows were broken and pictures and dishes shaken to floors of houses a mile distant. Parts of the car and Phillips' body were found 300 yards away. The dynamite had crystallized and was dangerous, Phillips had told his mother, advising her he was going to remove it before something happened. Police said jarring of the car exploded the dynamite, UNDAMAGED TIRE BRINGS ARREST OF PACKING FIRM Victim at First Was Believed Repairing By the Assoctated Press.

Protesting his innocence, the packing company executive, who has a wife and tomorrow, which will determine whether or not United States Senator Furnifold McLendel Simmons will be given his sixth nomination or will be replaced on the ticket by Josiah William Bailey, Raleigh lawyer and former Simmons lieutenant. The campaign has developed intense bitterness in its closing days. The doubt expressed everywhere ex- cept in the camps of the two candi- dates, each of which is undoubtedly confident, does not mean that the re- sult will necessarily be close. It does mean that political observers in the State, all of whom were badly fooled when Hoover, with the active aid of Simmans, carried the State by a ma- Jority of 60,000 over Smith in 1928, are somewhat doubtful about their own judgments in a situation which largely involves the same factors that deter- mined the 1928 result. By using only visible signs and por- tents it is easier to figure a victory for Bailey than Simmons. But by conced- ing the Simmons claim that he will get the “silent vote” is just as easy to ac- count for a sizable Simmons’ majority. Silent Vote Important. ‘The “silent vote,” always important in the State, is even more so in this con- test because of the limited opportunity for public expression due to the extra- ordinary and unprecedented character of the campaign, which has been con- ducted. Politics and oratory have always been synonomous in North Carolina. Never before has there been a campaign when speeches did not resound from every stump and the size of the crowds and the enthusiasm displayed in themselves went far to reflect public sentiment. And of all the candidates discussed as possible opponents to Senator Sim- mons none was so well fitted for a vigor- ous spesking campaign as Bailey, who le” the Si orators when the Sena. tor was last opposed for the nomination in 1912, But to the amazement of the State Bailey did no speaking at all, making his only platform appearance before an au- dience of home supporters here last night, the speech being also broadcast by radio, Leadership Is Issue. ‘The Bailey strategy has been simple. For Bailey and his principal supporters the one question to be settled in this contest is whether or not Senator Sim- n.ons can again lead his party in this State after refusing to vote for the Dernocratic presidential nominee in 1928 In his zeal to make that the one and only issue, Bailey has been quite con- tent to submerge his own individual personality and to pitch the campaign upon an anti-Simmons rather than pro- Balley note. ‘With the overwhelming bulk of party workers on his side and bitterly resent- ful of the course taken by Senator Simmons in 1928, Bailey has also been glulu content to depend upon organiza- ion. In adopting that course Bailey was taking a leaf from Senator Simmons’ own book. Senator Simmons, himself, has never done much speaking in his campaigns, but heretofore his organi- zation work has always been supple- mented by many speeches by others. This time there has been an almost negligible amount of speaking on his part, and with the famed Simmons ma- chine functioning almost intact for Bailey, and with those politiclans re- inforced by the group which in the past was classified as anti-machine, Bailey got off to a big start. Had to Rebuild Machine. The big task facing Senator Simmons was the rebuilding of an organization, with only & small nucleus composed of a personal following which stuck to him through thick and thin despite differ- ences over Smith in 1928 and a much Jarger group of those who were active in the anti-Smith Democratic movement. To round out this organization, Sen- (Continued on Page 2, Column 2.) ACCIDENTAL SHOT KILLS BOY’S FATHER John ‘Peak, 46, of Havre de Grace, Dies When Gun Is Dis- charged by Son.

GOULD LINCOLN. ‘The senatorial primary campaigns in New Jersey and Oklahoma are to be in- vestigated by the Senate slush fund committee, it was learned today. ‘The committee has already begun in- vestigations into the primary elections in Illinois and Pennsylvania. Senator Nye of North Dakota, chairman of the investigating committee, will leave here today or tomorrow to go to Chicago, where he will confer with investigators employed by the committee preparatory to holding hearings in Illinois later this month, According to reports received by the Senate committee money is being spent lavishly in the New Jersey campaign, where former Senator Joseph S. Freling- huysen, Dwight W. Morrow and Repre- sentative Pranklin Fort are engaged in a triangular race for the Republican nomination. The primary election takes J)lw! June 17, and victory is claimed by the supporters of all three candidates. May Await Ballots. It is unlikely that the Senate inquiry into the New Jersey campaign expendi- tures will be begun by the committee until after the primary is held. On the other hand it is expected that the committee will send investigators into the State at an early date to look into the charges made of excessive expendi- tures there. New Jersey has a State law which limits campalgn expenditures in the senatorial campaign to $50,000 per can- didate. The charge is that this limit is being considerably exceeded. Mr. Morrow and Senator Frelinghuy- sen have both come out in opposition to national prohibition. Representative Fort, on the other hand, is running as a dry, and is reported to be gaining considerable strength. The Senate investigating committee has recetved reports from Oklahoma. where Senator Pine, Republican, is seeking renomination this year, to the effect that large amounts of money are being expended both in the campaign for the Republican senatorial nomina- tion and in the Democratic campaign. Little Progress in Illinois. So far as the Illinois primary is concerned the Senate committee so far has merely had statements from Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick and Senator Charles S. Deneen. It still has to hear from the various committees, State and county. Mrs. McCommick testified that she herself had expended nearly $250,- 000 of her own money. Senator Deneen told the committee he had expended about one-tenth of that amount. The Democratic nominee, J. Hamilton Lewis, was practically unopposed for the nomi- nation, and spent only a few dollars. ‘The committee has gone further into the Pennsylvania primary, where Secre- tary James J. Davis of Department of Labor won the Republican senatorial nominatioh over Senator Joseph R. Grundy. The county chairmen in Pennsylvania are allowed 30 days in which to file reports of their expendi- tures, and it is unlikely that the Sen- ate committee will hold any further hearings on the Pennsylvania primary until after those reports have been | made. Members of the Senate com- mittee are expressing the opinion that | unless something unforeseen turns up there will be no grounds on which to challenge the nomination of Secretary Davis.

PAY BILL AGTION OFF UNTIL MONDAY Tilson Hopes for Agreement. Simmons Enlists Demo- crats in Fight. Unless an_agreement can be nego- | tiated, no action can be taken by the House on the police and firemen's pay bill before Monday, when the House rules committee will meet, House Leader Tilson said today. “I am hopeful that an agreement can be arranged,” said Mr. Tilson. “Those who are now in antagonism on this measure are almost in agreement. It would be a shame when they are close to an agreement to let such an impor- tant measure be lost.” It was learned today that Representa- tive Simmons of Nebraska, chairman of the subcommittee on District appro- priations, who forced the so-called Donovan amendments through and who objected to unanimous consent to send- ing the bill to conference with the Senate, now has organized Democratic opposition to support his fight against the bill unless his terms are agreed to. Minority Leader Garner and Represent- ative Byrans, of Tennessee, ranking Democrat on the appropriations com- mittee, are ready, it was learned, to support Mr. Simmons. Situation ¥s Tense. The situation has become very tense with bitter feeling expressed. It is for this reason that the effort is being made today to secure an agreement, under which the bill will be sent to conference by unanimous consent and with an understanding that the House conferees will not recede on the sc- called Donovan-Simmons amendments without bringing back to the House for an opportunity for the House members to_vote directly upon them. Representative Simmons is attempt- ing to k”g the bill from going to con=- ference, where these amendments would be_stricken out. He desires to have the House con- ferees sent to the conference under in- structions not to yield, and Chairman Zihlman and Acting Chairman McLeod of the House District committee have declared that they would not act as conferees under such conditions.

Sweeping grounds and in opposition | to the granting of a 10 cent fare to Washington street car companies today were set forth in a joint and final brief in argument in the rate case filed in the District Supreme Court on behalf of the Public Utilitles Commission by Vernon West, assistant corporation counsel, and Richmond B. Keech, peo- ple’s counsel. As “the only course through which the public and company can be pro- tected tney asked the court to deny the petition on the grounds that the two street car companies had not offered sufficient proof of their need for an increased fare, and made these alternate suggestions: That the court either cause a revaluation of the trac- tion company properties through the medium of a master in chancery or the auditor, or else remand the Public Util- ities Commissions with instructions to revalue.” Previous Facts Covered. ‘The 46-page brief, which covers at length all the ground previously stated in the petition of the car companies, was signed by West as counsel for commission, and by Keech as the inde- pendent advocate of the public. The effect of a revaluation is two- fold, they told the court. “It would provide an element necessary to a de- termination of a proper rate base and would do much in our opinion to bring the car-riding public and utilities to- gether, the latter being essential to the welfare of the two railways. Partic- ularly is this so because of the fact that people now have other sources of transportation, comparable in price and much more expeditious. Purthermore, it is also our belief that the public gen- eral would accept an increase, with much better grace if it knew it was based upon a recent valuation rather than one built up in an uncertain man- ner." ‘William H. Ham, president of the Washington Railway & Electric Co., which joined with the Capital Traction Co., in petitioning for a fare increase, was quoted in the brief as having stated at the hearings that “a revalution would be helpful to the commission in determining these cases.” Fairness to Public. ‘The document sets forth in brief that the court can not, in fairness to the public, grant a higher fare.without valuation; that the 10 cent fare, with its resulting loss of passengers, would not increase the companies’ return on value; declared that if the increase is granted to one compagy it must neces- (Continued on Page 2, Column 4.)

The houses, wooden shacks scat- tered at random and one short row of brick hovels, seem about as uncomfort- able and insanitary as can be found in the city, although one tumbledown structure makes & pathetic plea for re- spectability with a blossom-covered rose bush in its tiny front yard. ke other side of Wisconsin ave- nue between Grace street and the river is Cecils ailey, which winds through rows of small brick houses, in front of which are col ated loafers, women and unkempt children. One entrance is up shaky brick stairs from a narrow opening in the brick front of Grace street. A few yards farther on there is a wider opening, used by the cars which are housed in the garages, into which wmedo( the alley homes have been con- ed. Both these alley settlements are stranded residence islands in an area taken over by commerce, which hems them in on both sides, but which is not read'y to engud them.

It occupies the square between Sixth, Seventh, G and I streets. On three sides it is completely shut off from outside world by apparently unbroken fronts of row houses. One of the nar- row lanes emerges on Sixth street. The settlement also can be entered across a desolate, vacant Sixth street lot. The street houses have extremely small back yards, some of them almost entirely taken up by brick sheds, so that the alley hovels creep up almost to the back doorsteps. . The main street of Navy place is pic- turesquely squalid—two rows of tiny brick houses separated by a' narrow paved street—with an unusual number of loafers before the doors.

BRADY TESTIMONY DISCREPANGIES PUT UNDER STATE'S FIRE Mother Declared She Had No [ Objection to Herman “Court- ing” Naomi Hall. LEROY HAD TESTIFIED SHE OPPOSED MATCH Defense Rests as Seat Pleasant Bombing Case Nears Jury at Rockville. BY & Staff Correspondent of The Star. ROCKVILLE, Md., June 6.—Discrep- ancies in the testimony of mother and son on an important point marked the murder trial here today of Leroy Brady, charged with responsibility for the re cent triple bomb slaying in Seat Pleas- ant. The defense rested its case at 12:15 pm. Mrs, Ella Brady, mother of the de- fendant, the first witness of the day, declared that at no time had she ob- Jjected to Herman *“courting” Naomi Hall, whom he later married and who was one of the victims of the bombing. She said she had voiced no such ob- Jections to either Herman or Leroy. Leroy Said She Opposed. Leroy testified under cross-examina- tion that his mother had sought to per- suade Herman to stop keeping com- pany with Naomi some three years ago. He said she opposed Herman's paying attention to the girl because she thought he_was too young. J. Wilson Ryon of counsel for the prosecution, stressed this portion of his cross-examination of Leroy. He indi- cated he would insist in his argument to the jury that Lcroi had slain his brother’s wife because his mother, who knew nothing of the marriage at that time, would be distressed should she learn Herman had failed to carry out her wishes. This was the first time any possible motive had been developed during the trial. Attorneys Are Rebuked, ‘Numerous bitter verbal exchanges be- tween Ryon and M.
