- SPIRIT BREAKS OUT Governors’ Conference Dele- gates Resent Usurping of State Functions. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, July 2.—1It $here be any doubt whether the growth in the power of the Federal Govern- tment is being viewed complacently by the severk! §iv:, it has been dispelled | by the Conference of Governors meet- ing here. Leaving out of the discussion the Yolitical phases of States’ rights, there & here an underlying sentiment, not only that the Federal Government, geaning in this instance, Congress, is rurping the functions of the States, ut that the interests of the several States are not properly protected. Anti-Federal Spirit Expressed. Gov. Christianson’s speech gave formal expression to the spirit of anti- Federalism, but the Minnesota Governor was not alone in his criticisms of what Were termed the coercive tactics of the Federal establishment in appropriating ims that had to be matched by the tates. Several Governors who did not y anything in the conference itself Jdid talk informally about the difficulty 3f getting even members of Congress i‘ think in terms of their respective States. One Governor argued that Senators &s well as Representatives get the ¥ederal viewpoint in Washington in- Efend of battiing for the rights of the tates. The feeling is perhaps a bit more Intense this year than usual because of the Hawes-Cooper law, which in 1034 3s to prevent prison-made goods from ‘being transported in interstate com- merce, and because of the growing ob- gection to Federal interference with the Tight to tax national banks. Both topics were on the p: m of the last two days and provided much food for discussion. But it is interesting to note also the reaction which governors express to the speech of Gov. Frank C. Emerson of Wyoming, who argued on the first day for the release by the ¥Federal Government of public lands to the several States. Eastern governors, who ordinarily take little interest in public land problems, said frankly that they believed the public lands should ‘be turned over to the States for devel- opment. Oppose Technical Limitations. ' One gets an altogether different im- pression of governmental problems by mttending a governors’ conference than s likely to be obtained by continued ‘contact with the Federal Government in Washington. The States are troubled by the difficulty of levying and collect- ing taxes to meet increased expenses. They want technical limitations brushed aside so that they may develop sys- tems of taxation suited to local needs. *They recognize the need of budget con- trol and the tendency of Legislatures to Jook at taxation from the political, rather than the economic, viewpoint. But, above all, the governors seem to yegard the business of administration ms in inself a growing responsibility, which many of them thought was not wwidely appreciated. Several of the Governors mentioned fthe one-year and two-year term idea ies destructive of stability and argued or at least a four-year term. Otherwise, the Governors said, they became con- istantly absorbed in primary and elec- tion campaigns. ‘The principal comments on all these quéstions developed in the informal talks the Governors had with each other. The Governors’ Conference never egislates or adopts resolutions on public iquestions; so the interchange of ideas nd informal leys are the principal for the annual meetings. 4 (Copyright, 1930.) PRISON LABOR USES STUDIED. Goyernors Discuss Possible Effects of Hawes-Cooper Bill. SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, July 2 (#). ~—Methods of utilizing prison labor in fmeéting penitentiary problems, as pro- by the Eastern-Southern Confer- ence on Institutional Labor, were laid before the Governors' Conference here today by Gov. Willlam G. Conley of West Virginia. ‘The West Virginia Governor pointed but that the conference was organized o meet problems arising from the Hawes-Cooper bill, which will become effective in 1934, regulating interstate shipment of prison-made s, and told the assembled State executives that he had been requested to submit to them the views of the Institutional Labor Conference. 14 States Represented. Fourteen States, he said, are repre- gented In the conference, which also cludes representatives of the District of Columbia, United States Depart- ment of Justice and the National Com- mittee on Prisons and Prison Labor. The States are Alabama, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennes- #ee, Virginia and West Virginia. To Gov. Henry 8. Caulfield of Mis- sourl was assigned the task of pre- senting the situation which he con- ceived would arise whon the Hawes- Cooper measure becomes effective. W. J. Holloway was designated to lead a Tound-table discussion on the law. To Leave for National Parks.

JOHNSON TO TALK ON NEW VETS' BILL Representative to Outline | Measure in Talk Over Radio. Representative Royal C. Johnson of | South Dakota, chairman of the House| Committee on World War Veterans'| Legislation, is to speak in the National| Radio Forum arranged by The Star| and broadcast over the coast-to-coast | network of the Columbia Broadcasting System on the new veterans’ legislation at 9:30 o'clock tomorrow night. Following the veto of the -riginal veterans' bill by President Hoover, Mr. Johnson introduced and put through| the House by a vote of 365 to 4 the new | bill, which for the first time sets up a disability pension system for World War | veterans. Other legislation has been | based on compensation for injury and| disability incurred in the 'ine of duty.| The new bill will affect 200,000 or more | veterans, and eventually will be of bene- fit to many hundreds of thousands rgore former service men. The new bill, with perhaps some amendments added by the Senate, is expected to become a law with the approval of the President. Representative Johnson is himself a| veteran of the World War. He enlisted | in the Regular Army January 4, 1918, | and later was sent to the third officers’ | training camp at Camp Meade. He went | overseas with the 79th Division in July, | 1918, becoming a first lieutenant in the | 313th Infantry. He returned to this country in December, 1918, was re-| elected to Congress and has served in the House ever since. Before he en- | tered the Army during the World War Mr. Johnson had served one term in the House, COMPROMISE SEEN IN CONFERENCE ON VETERANS’ RELIEF| (Continued From Pirst Page.) ber, Shipstead of Minnesota, voted for the amendment, while the 26 opposing | Vvotes were all cast by Republicans, as| were the 11 votes cast agaimst the bill | on final passage. | The bill would give World War vet- | erans the pensions enumerated, regard- | less of whether they can prove their ailments to be the result of wartime service. An amendment was approved by the Senate under which veterans who contracted social diseases while in | the service would be authorized to col- lect pensions for disabilities resulting Another amendment approved would bring tubercular patients within the | benefits of the measure without the re- quirement that they prove an “active” | case. | Senator Reed of Pennsylvania, who | opposed the increased rates, estimated the Senate bill would cost the Govern- ment $58,000,000 during the present fiscal year, as compared with $31,000,000 under the House bill. Walsh disputed the | Pennsylvanian's figures, but agreed the Secnate bill would be more expensive than that of the House. | Senator Cutting, Republican, New “Mexico, who had threatened to force a roll call vote on the original vetoed | veterans' relief measure recently passed | by the Senate, 66 to 6, withdrew his | motion after the Senate increased the | pension rates, Cutting Shouted Down. He was shouted down, however, in an attempt to extend from 1925 to 1930 | the period within which _disabilities might be presumed to have had service origin. The New Mexico Senator was suc- cessful with an amendment to bring | tubercular patients within the benefits | of the measure without requiring them | to prove an “active” case, Those voting against the bill on final passage were Bingham, Borah, Fess, Goldsborough, Hastings, Hebert, Met- calf, Moses, Sullivan, Vandenberg and Walcott The roll call on the Walsh-Connally |Amendment raising the pension rates was [ %Por Republicans, Blaine, Cutting, | Dale, Hatfield, Howell, Johnson, La Follette, Norris, Robinson (Ind.); Demo- crats, Ashurst, Barkley, Black, Brock, Broussard, Caraway, Connally, Cope- land, George, Glass, Harris, Harrison, Hayden, Kendrick, McKellar, Overman, Ransdell, Sheppard, Steck, Stephens, Swanson, Thomas (Okla.), Trammell, Tydings, Wagner, Walsh (Mass.), Walsh (Mont.); Farmer-Labor, Shipstead.

STUDY NEW PLAN TO END DEADLOCK ON D. C. FUND BILL (Continued From First Page.) ing today that the conferees would not undertake to discuss the question of the Federal contribution, which is the most controversial feature of the bill and the one on which the conference came to a deadlock several weeks ago. ‘The conference today was arranged for the purpose of attempting to reach an agreement on more than 100 other amendments in the bill, which up to this time had been sidetracked while the conferees were making vain efforts to settle their differences over the amount of the Federal contribution. Bingham and Simmons Confer. Late yesterday afternoon, after the Senate Appropriations Committee had voted to stand firm in its fight for an increase in the $9,000,000 contribution by substituting the regular appropria- tion bill for the continuing resolution sent over from the House, Representa- tive Simmons of Nebraska and Senator | Bingham conferred and arranged for the new meeting of the conferces this | morning. | ‘Their thought in taking this step Was to try to settle all other amend- ments in the bill. s0 that if an agree- ment should be reached later on the main item of the lump sum there would be no time lost in rushing the bill through to final enactment. Many Amendments Concern Salaries. Although there were more than 100 amendments to be discussed this morn- ing, aside from the lump sum, more than 60 of these amendments are sal- ary increases scattered through the bill For practical purposes, these 60 salary amendments may be regarded as onc| question, because the probabilities are tha of the bill en bloc. Many of the other amendments are of such a nature that they probably can be adjusted without difficulty, but there are a dozen or more points of difference that are expected to re- quire some discussion in reaching a settlement. Among these are: Continuing devel- opment of the Municipal Center, for which the House voted $3,000,000 and the Senate $1000000; proposed in- creases in water rates, on which both houses adopted different schedules; the uestion of whether the present num- ber of teachers should be kept in the kindergartens or some of them trans- ferred to the grad: schools; the question of whether the Monroe street viaduct | in Brookland should be widened, and also whether a subway should be built to abolish the Chestnut street grade Crossing.

Lieut. Barker is a former United States | Marine and was among the winners of the Chicago Tribune hero award, given monthly to the policeman who displays | | outstand:ng heroism and bravery in line | ‘of duty. “Lieutenant, I'd never get home alive,” Zuta had said to Barker. “Get me | across the Loop, won't you ‘ “All right, get in my car,” Barker re- }plled “I'll drive you as far as State | Jand Lake streets” (the northern end | | of the Loop). ‘The police officer got in the driver’s seat. Zuta sat in the tonneau with Albert Bratz and Leona Bernstein. | Solly Vision sat in front with Baker. | Bratz, Vision and the Bernstein woman | had been arrested with Zuta in police | raids Monday. All are regarded as con- | nected with the Moran gang. | . Lieut. Barker started from detective headquarters, driving north on State | street slowly. The machine had just | crossed Quincy street, traveling at a snail's pace behind a street car, when | a sedan that had been behind swung | from the rear and drew alongside, be- tween the policeman’s car and the curb, | A tall fellow in a tan suit and pana- | ma_ hat opened the door of the sedan | and stepped to the running board. | From a shoulder holster he drew a pistol. He aimed deliberately and sent a stream of bullets at the police ma- chine. Lieut. Barker jammed on the brakes and leaped to the street, pistol in hand. The other car stopped also. By this time a second gunman was firing, lean- ing from a window of the automobile. When the shooting began Solly‘ Vision scrambled over the seat into f‘he( tonneau and huddled with Zuta, Bratz and the woman on the floor behind the scant, protection afforded by the sides | of the car, Barker now was standing in the brightly lighted street, exchanging shot for shot. Behind his automobile was a street car, unable to proceed be- | cause of the police machine. At the controls was the motorman, Elbert Lu- | sader, 38, who stared, horrified, as the guns blazed. Several hundred persons had sought shelter in doorways and behind posts. A few dropped behind refuse boxes on the sidewalk. A bullet from the weapon of the tall man on the running board of the gun- men's car struck Lusader in the neck. | He died a few hours later. An aged | night watchman, Olaf Svenste, was struck in the arm by a bullet. Ammunition Is Exhausted. Lieut. Barker stood firing until his ammunition was exhausted. He leaped | back into the machine just as the other | automobile pulled away. The police car was only a few feet behind the other machine at State and Madison streets. It was there that a “moke bomb was dropped by the ma- chine in front, sending up a screen of smoke behind which the gunmen hoped | to_hide the progress of the car. Lieut. Barker, however, kept the ma- chine in sight, and had nearly over- | taken it at Wabash avenue and Madi- son street when his own motor sput- tered and died—its gasoline exhausted. The gunmen's car disappeared in traf- fic, going north. | In the meantime Zuta and his com- panions had gone. The bullet marks in | the police car indicated that one of | them may have been struck in the leg. Police obtained the license number | of the killers' car, but expected the | tlue would be of slight value as the | | plates were probably stolen. | A .45 caliber pistol, the one used by the tall man in the gunmen's ma- | Ichmn. was found in the street. The | serial number had been filed away, just | 8s was the case with the weapon used | in the slaying of Lingle, the Tribune | police reporter, June 9. | A West Side restaurant was damaged | early today by a black powder bomb | explosion, which shattered windows in nearby buildings.

BROWN APPROVES MEMORIAL PLANS Postmaster General Hopes for Success of D. C. Tribute to War Heroes. Postmaster General Walter F. Brown has expressed interest in the District of Columbia World War Memorial cam- paign and hopes that it will meet with complete success. In a letter to Frank B. Noyes, chair- man of the commission in charge of the memorial, the Postmaster General wrote: “I_have noted with much interest the renewal of the campaign by your commission to complete the raising of funds for the District of Columbia War Memorial, which it is planned to erect in West Potomac Park. ““The commission’s efforts in this be- half are deserving of the support of all public-spirited men and women in the District. meet with early and complete success,” The campaign now under way being waged by the Central Labor Union to add to the funds already raised by the Memorial Commission so as to bring the total from the present $135,000 to $1655,000, the goal. The Central Labor Union has reported to the Memorial Commission - substantial progress in the campaign, which is being carried forward through several different channels of the organized labor of the District of Columbia. Frank W. Lee, chairman, and R. A. Dickson, secretary of the Labor Execu- tive Committee in charge of the move- ment, are gratified with the progress already made. ITALY RAISES DUTIES ON AUTOS, HURTING U. S. AFTER TARIFF BOOST covered with a tariff increase of from 25,000 lire to 33,000 lire. The new schedule was in the form of a royal decree signed by the King, the premier and other heads of the government. It was executed to go into effect im- mediately and be presented later to the Italian Parliament for conversion into law. It was understood that the decree had been drawn up at a special com- mittee meeting on June 27, day before. No announcement regard- ing tariff changes followed the action, it being left to fall like a thunderbolt upon the automobile industry. DETROIT NOT SURPRISED, DETROIT, July 2 (#)—Leaders in the automobile industry here generally accepted the announcement of the in- creased Itallan tariff on motor cars as fulfillment of forecasts made during the discussion of the Hawley-Smoot bill. Alvin Macauley, president of the National Automobile Chamber of Com- merce, while declining to discuss the probable effect on the industry, said that Italy is “not one of the ‘biggest markets by any means,” but that the increased tariff might be an encourage- ment to other countries to follow. “But we have been doing that very thing ourselves with tariff increases, he added, “and I don't see how any one in this country can protest.” He recalled that the recent American tariff measure had been adopted in the face of foreign protests. U. S. WATCHING MOV ‘The increase of tariffs on automobiles by Italy attracted Government atten- tion today, but official quarters re- frained from any comment. No notification had been received from the Itallan government at the State Department. The last communication from Italy on tariff matters was received last April, protesting the tariff proposed in Con- gress at that time on some Italian products. The reactions to the Smoot-Hawley law abroad are being watched on Capi- tol Hill as well as elsewhere. Senator Vandenberg of Michigan said today: “The so-called retaliation moves abroad might easily have two objectives.” “While there might be an element of retallation in the Italian decree.” he added, “nevertheless the opportunity to force American manufacturers to estab- | lish branch plants abroad in line with their policy of the past two years seems to_me very alluring.” Vandenberg sald both Henry Ford and General Motors have branch plants in Trieste and the increase “might easily rt since | be part of a campaign to force Amer- | ican manufacturers now engaged in ex- patriating capital to extend their oper- | ‘ations there and benefit foreign labor.” PROPOSED LAYOUT FOR NEW MUNICIPAL | | [ The accompanying picture shows frem Pennsylvania averue, at the present Jo and focus of the whol> Municipal Center plan, and other changes will be made to accommodas | John Marshall place will disappear and its place will be taken by a court, | On the right o fthe picture is the Iatter building will be a building for the Fire and Police Departments. | The plan calls for the cutting through of a new avenue from Pes -‘mmelrlul setting, | the group of buildings a | unnamed avenue. | Wyeth, leading Washington architects, The design shown was made by Mun! ke projectsd center for P4 hn Marshall place.

By the Astoclated Press, PARIS, July 2—Balked by = poison which did not kill, Midshipman Francis H. Worthington, 19, of Grover, Colo., chose a soldier’s weapon, his gun, with which to die. Turning it upon himself he inflicted wounds Monday which yesterday re- sulted in his death at a hospital here. After French legal formalities are com- pleted the body will be shipped home. In Cadet Worthington's room there was found a weird diary in which he explained his suicide as a consequence of his relief that life no longer was worth living, and that he was haunted by the idea that his mind was likely to give way. The diary told of taking poison and then recorded his annoyance as the poison failed to work. Meanwhile, he gulped cognac to bolster his spirits. He became unconscious and upon awaken ing at 4 pm. Monday made the last | entry, saying that he was disgusted that he was not dead. He then re- sorted to his gun. Hez left no communication for his family. He was in Paris as a member of a party of Annapolis midshipmen. Among the papers in his room was a farewell letter to Admiral Cluverius, | officer in command of the cadets’ tour. Both it and the diary will be forwarded to Washington.

President Hoover's contem;lated swing through the Western National parks late this Summer is at present in an un- certain and indefinite state. He was represented today as still being hopeful of making such a trip, probably during the month of August, but no decision is going to be reached until the adjourn- ment of Congress is an established fact. ~In the meantime the President is head over heels in work and giving strict at- tention to legislative matters. However, he has instructed those assistants who attend to such things to go ahead and make tentative plans for the trip West. Hopes to Visit West Indies. The President s known to be desirous also of making & trip to the West In- dies for the purpose of visiting Cuba, Porto Rica and the Virgin Islands, and to Mexico, but this is even more indefi- nite at this time that the vacation trip to the National parks. Mr. Hoover gave Dwight W. Morrow, Ambassador to Mexico, the impression that he would g0 to Mexico this Fall, when the sub- ject was discussed by them during Mr. Mor;ow'l visit to the White House last week. Mr. Morrow s known to have urged the President to make his good-will visit to the capital of Mexico before he gives up his ambassadoriol post there about the middle of September. More than this, President Hoover is un- derstood to have given President Ortiz Rublo of Mexico the impression that he would soon pay a visit to that re- public. During Mr. Hoover's good-will tour of Latin America, following his election in 1928, he found it necessary to abondon that part of his original itinerary which included a visit to Mexico City and Cuba. Mexican Trip Deemed Inadvisable. Friends and associates of the Presi- dent, however, have advised against the Mexican trip for the present, principal- ly upon the grounds that & visit in the early Fall would be unseasonable and therefore would not be as pleasant as one later in the year. If the President does go West, it is thought doubtful if he visits his home at Palo Alto, Calif., or even if he i cludes the Yosemite Park, in California, in his vacation itinerary. It is also hinted that he would not go within the borders of Colorado, because of Republican factional troubles in that State. KENNETH IS TIRED AND WANTS TO END ENDURANCE FLIGHT (Continued From First Page.) NEW YORK READY 10 GREET JONES Gotham to Join Georgians in Roaring Welcome to Golf Champion. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, July 2.—Citizens of the metropolis turned today from adulation of heroes of the air to vie with his home folks from Atlanta in payiig homage to Bobby Jones, returning in triumph from his conquests on British golf links. Arrangements for the reception of the winner of the British amateur and open championships took the form of a family reunion, old home week and a regular New York welcome all rolled into one. Tugs and other harbor craft had steam up ready to blare their welcome as soon as the liner Europa hove in sight with her distinguished passenger. A trip from Quarantine on the city boat Macom, a parade up Broadway and a reception by Mayor Walker at City Hall were features of the program. Georgians Arrive. Bringing the champion's father, Rob- ert P. Jones; his mother, who left a sick bed to greet her son, and a delega- tlon of 75 admiring Atlantans, the Bobby Jones special pulled into the Pennsylvania Station yesterday. The Atlanta delegation was headed by Maj. John 8. Cohen, Democratic chairman of Georgia and editor of the Atlanta Journal. Mayor and Mrs. I. N. Ragsdale of Atlanta, Dr. L. M. Brittain, president of Georgia Tech, and several officers of the First National Bank, which elected Jones to its directora while he was in England, made the tri ‘The steamer Mandalay was commis. sioned to take the Atlanta delegation down the bay as an escort to the Macom, on which the city's official wel- coming committee, headed by Grover A. ‘Whalen, planned to bring Jones to the Battery.

Among the congratulatory messages received yesterday was one from Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, who in the days when he was “Slim” and an air mail pilot barnstormed several times with the Hunter brothers. The mark of 500 hours held no satisfaction for the brother pilots—now that they have surpassed by scores of hours the record of Dale Jackson and ! Forest O'Brine, set at 420 hours plus in the St. Louis Robin. Aloft Until Fourth. The Spartans have repeatedly de- clared they would be aloft until the Fourth of July at least. In view of the 20 days' wear on the motor, the ground crew sald the Oity of Chicago would hover close to Sky Harbor Airport so that a landing on the field could be made in the event of motor trouble. For the record to be recognized by the National Aeronautical Association, the landing must be made from th take-off field. The bull market has swlrt over Sky Harbor; dinner in the only available restaurant nearby has been holsted from 75 cents to $1.85; the fashionable Russian rendezvous, e Petrushka Club's roof garden at the airport, plays to constant night crowds; the purveyors of hot dogs have cluttered the lot and a constant watch of sleepy-eyed news- paper reporters and tgbomnphan por- tends the end of the ht. The managerial and financial back- ground of the flight was publicized yes- terday. Wilson Herren of Barrington, 11, is flight manager, and Walter E. Conroyd of Chicago, the principal backer. To date, between $30,000 and $35,000 has been invested in the endur- ance attempt. No contracts of any kind have been signed as yet by the backers of the | brother-pilots, Herren said. The ground crew brothers were contracted at $100 a week each, and are to receive a 10 per cent cut in the flight's profits, Do Not Fear Loss of Laurels. ‘The Hunter brothers evinced no fear of losing their new laurels at the an- nouncement from St. Louis that Jacke son and O'Brine planned to take off July 13 in an attempt to surpass the mass of hours piled up by the City of Chicago. After a note was sent up telling them of the St. Louis flight, the brothers dropped down the following note, ad- dressed to O'Brine and Jacl H “Thanks for the congratulations. When you boys start, we wish you luck. Probably see Xou before you take off.” Thousands flock to Sky Harbor daily. Last evening they were given a new thrill. Kenneth, the wingwalker of the old barnstorming tours, crept from the cabin hatch as the plane soared along 300 feet above earth, and slid down the fusilage to the rudder controls, freeing them from collected debris that threatened to jam the stabilizer. It was his second trip aft. Mother Hunter and sister Irene saw brothers John and Kenneth at close range last night. They went aloft with | Casey Jones, observer for the National Acronautical Association, who lumbered his large Curtiss Condor alongside the City of Chicago. “I couldn’t see the boys distinctly, but 1 saw them waving at us,” the mother said.

Actual profits to the fliers and their backers at 11:40 o'clock today, Cen- tral standard time, amounted to 89,099, not including the commission they will | receive from gate receipts at Sky Har- bor.
