Plans for sending the World War Veterans' pension bill to conference were formulated at a meeting of the Republican Steering Committee of the House with the Republican members of the Rules Committee in Speaker Longworth's office this morning.

Prediction ‘was made that it would be possible to reach an agreement, probably fixing the rates of pensions somewhere between those carried in the House bill and the Senate bill. A further prediction was made that such a compromise if written into the bill would be accepted by Presi- dent Hoover.

Immediate steps were taken for the extradition of the fugitive gunman, whose indictment was the first definite action in the wake of the assassina- tion three weeks ago. The indictment was returned after Coroner H. N. Bun- desen and Pete von Frantzius, sporting goods dealer, testified before the grand | jurors. Von Frantizius admitted he sold the pistol found beside Lingle's body to Foster. Will Seek His Return. Chicago authorities at once communi- cated with Los Angeles authorities to arrange an extradition hearing. While Foster had not been accused previously as the actual killer, he was believed to have important information | in connection with the slaying. State'’s Attorney John A.

Only two hours were required to pre- sent the evidence against Foster and re- turn the indictment. New Warfare Blazes, A new burst of gang gunfire blazed in the Loop last night and two gunmen escaped behind a smoke screen after an unsuccessful attempt to assassinate Jake Zuta, reputed lieutenant for the “Bugs” Moran gang, on his way home from the Detective Bureau with a police escort.

CLEVELAND, July 2.—An alleged rum-running syndicate that operated an overland route from Florida and a fleet of boats across Lake Erie to dis- tribute liquor in Middle Western cities stood revealed today with the release of secret Federal indictments naming 11 men on conspiracy charges. Principals of the ring, Federal in- vestigators sald, were Daniel F. Cough- lin of Pittsburgh and Cleveland, James Courtney, now in Canada, and John O'Boyle of Cleveland. The organiza- tion formerly was alleged to have been headed by “Handsome Larry” David- son, whose extensive rum-running a tivities have placed him in the Atlanta’| Penitentiary. Truck Fleet Operation Charged. The syndicate, according to the in- dictments, operated a fleet of trucks from Fernandina, Fla., to McKe rt, Pa., where liquor was reship to Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Chicago and Woodlawn, Pa. Its other arm reached across Lake Erie between Canadian perts and points along the Erle (Ohio) County shore. Headquarters were in Cleveland, with Courtney directing the Canadian operations via long-distance telephone, it was charged. Coughlin surrendered late yesterday, pleaded not guilty, and was released under $7,500 bond. Specfically, he was charged with transporting 8,022 cases of whisky to McKeesport May 14 ad- dressed to E. Hubbard, care of the Mc- Keesport Banana Distributing Co. He faced arraignment today on another charge of transporting 33 cases of champagne from Sandusky to Ver- milion, Ohio, together with Courtney Coughlin is free under $10,000 bond pending appeal from his recent con- viction on a conspiracy charge at Toledo with Davidson and is under $1,000 bond on another conspiracy charge at Pittsburgh. Courtney Skips Bond. Courtney skipped bond and fled to Canada last November after being ar- Tested at a reputed “bootleggers’ con- ference” here. Most of the 55 overt acts charged consist of telephone con- versations between Courtney from ‘Windsor, Kingsville and Port Leaming- ton, Ontario, and Cleveland members of | the ring. O'Boyle is alleged to have assisted in carrying out Courtney's in- structions. ROUSE FATHERLAND| Many Police Clashes Result From Evacuation Celebra- tions. By the Associated Press.

Suggests an Investigation, This proposition contemplates a rather pointed suggestion to the Presi- dent that Congress feels that as Chief Executive and under the budget sys- tem he should have a study made by disinterested parties to determine what is a _proper fiscal relationship between the Federal Government and the Fed- eral City, 50 that he would be prepared in his next budget message to recom- K;:!dhwhluv%r xc‘:flnge in fiscal rela- e may decide after o szud;. er a careful and It is also understood that the Presi- dent has personally interested himself In persuading House and Senate leaders, including those in charge of the Dis- trict appropriation bill, that this im- portant supply measure, which contains appropriations for important construc- tlon work and permanent improvements for the National Capital should not {;fl g;;.:llge oge:he $1,000,000 difference N betwee) Sen N the House and Use at His Discretion, Prominent members of the House to- day expressed the opinion that since the President was greatly concerned over the prospect of unemployment which d result from a failure of the District appropriation bill, that it is quite proper for the Con to thus invite further recommendations from the President regarding future appro- priations for the Capital City. These House leaders also indicate that they believe that since the Presi- dent has insisted upon a settlement of the controversy between the House and Senate that it is a courteous procedure for the Congress to thus invite further recommendations from the President regarding future appropriations for the Capital City. In this connection, it was emphasized, that under the Constitution and under the budget system it is the duty of the President to make such recommenda- tions to Congress, while the Constitu- g‘ncr;’ gives Vw C«:gnes;' exel:lluve Juris- on over the National Capital through legislation. A Those members of the House with whom this plan for settling the con- troversy over the District appropria- tion bill has been discussed expressed the oplonion today that it would be & good solution of a problem which has been marked by considerable ill feeling on both sides and that if the President accepts the invitation of Congress to have a study made for the future settle- ment of fiscal relations, he will have done much to obviate a fong continued unpleasantness between Congress and the Capital City. At least one of the Senate conferees, questioned on the settlement, said he had never heard of it. Another suggestion for the solution of the problem that has arisen over the fiscal relations provision in the District appropriation bill was considersd by the Republic steering committee and the Republican members of the House Rules Committee at a conference today in Speaker Longworth's office. This provided for allowing $10,000,~ 000 as the Federal contribution, with a study to be made as to what should be the proper Federal contribution in the future. Then, whatever determination was reached, if it was found that the $10,- 000,000 was more than was needed to meet the obligations of the National Capital, the amount in excess of the needs, whatever it might be, somewhere between $9,000,000 and $10,000,000, would be paid back into the Federal Treasury from the surplus revenues of the District, In other words, if it was found that a mistake was made and $10,000,000 Wwas too much, then the adjustment would be made so as to correct that mistake, “Had Agreeable Conference.” While the District government went along on its second day without funds, the “conferees this morning resumed conterences at the Capitol for the first time in more than a week, but had no conclusions to announce when they ad- journed at noon today. The conferees parted with the under- standing that they would meet again at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. “We had an agreeable conlerence, dis- cussed various amendments in the bill, and adjourned to meet again tomorrow morning,” Senator Bingham, Repub- lican of Connecticut, chairman, stated. The conferees made no further com- ment as to what progress, if any, was made. __It was agreed in advance of the meet- (Continued on Page 2, Column 3.)
