gainst Extended Discus- sions Before Hoover. * By the Associated Press. - A business’ prayer was recorded to- day dgainst any extended discussion in * rium of this “sensitive time.” It was placed before President Hoover by Julius H. Barnes, chairman of board of the United States Chamber of Commerce and chairman of the Presi- dent’s Business Survey Conference. ‘Barnes told the Chief Executive that business welcomed evidence that both Mr. Hoover and the party leaders in Congress “seemed determined to put the emphasis_of legislation on the neces- sary appropriation for public adminis- tration, and to provide emergency measures to increase employment.” But he coupled it with the hope that no protracted discussion of measures, though worthy in themselves, be allowed . to bring the threat of an extra session. He commended the “high degree of statesmanship and party leadership” shown by recent events. Norris Urges Steel Probe. Business was not having an alto- gether smooth course in Congress, how: ever. Yesterday Senator Norris, chai man of the Judiciary Committee, urged & Department of Justice investigation of the steel companies which have an- nounced an increase of more than $1 & ton in their prices. He scented a pos- sible violation of the anti-trust laws, sald Norris, but the expressed particu- larly dislike for the move, in view of the “patriotic” plans being formulated for expanding public construction, which must have enormous quantities of steel. ‘The word “lobby” was cried in the . Senator Couzens, Republican, Michigan, its sponsor, said the railroads were seeking to kill it. Two. Votes Against Davis. In the Senate also Harris of Georgia and Sheppard of Texas announced their vote against seating Senator Davis was not to be interpreted as indicating a in the Democratic ranks, even though ‘the party leader, Robinson of Arkansas, and the Democratic Steering . Committee had formally decided to vote the other way. Both strongly indorsed Robinson's said he ;uu u':;lr h;hcle- support and urg re- election as party leader. Across the Capitol, the House Mili; Committee was considering moves to break the Muscle Shoals deadlock, and that troublesome subject was again in discussion on the House floor.

Seven Arrested. A pair of motor cycle officers had a narrow. escape from death early today during wild dashes on Bladensburg road northeast after three speeding auto- mobiles, one of which contained seven Italian' youths, who were held for in- vestigation when, police say, two re- volvers were found hidden in the machine. X . Officers K. P. Greenlow and V. V. Vaughn of the Traffic Bureau hurdled a street excavation at Mount Olivet and Bladensburg foads, racing at 50 miles an hour on their mctor cycles, when they were forced to swerve their machines while pursuing two alleged speeders toward Washinguon, Two Shoot Over Excavation. A police car, said to have been oc- cupied by members of the vice squad, came into Biadensburg road just as the chase bore down upon them. Greenlow and Vaughn the occupants said, cut out of the .path of the machine and shot over a deep sewer excavation, al- most losing their seats. Both the motor cycle and the vice squad police continued the pursuit and arrested Greenwood Mills, coliored, 38 years old, of 2023 Flagler place, at L street and Bladensbuig road on a charge of speeding 48 rules an hour. The other car, which, the cfficers say, had been racing witn Mills' machine, turned off a side road and escaped. Second Auto Captured. ‘The officers had no sooner booked Muls for speeding than the automobile which, they said, had been racing witn Mills' macnine until it eluded them, re- turned at a fh rate of speed on near M street.

A half hour previously the two of- ficers were standing before No. 12 pre- * | cinct, on Rhode Island avenue, north- east, when a sedan on the way into town running at a high speed and without lights, the officers said. They went in pursuit and overhauled the car at Tweilth sireet and Rhode Island avenue northeast. e The driver’ was ordered to turn back toward the precinct, and Vzughn fol- lowed the car while Greenlow rode in front. Just then, Vaughn said, he saw a door open and a flash of metal. He said one of the men tried to hurl a re- volver from the machine.

DELAYON TROLLEY NERGER 5 SEEN Vandenberg Holds No Hope for Adopting Legislation in Short Session. There is no chance for passage of the street rallway mezer resolution at the present short of Congress, in the opinion of Senator Vandenberg, Re- publican, of Michigan, who has taken an active interest in the question since it has been before the Senate District Committee during the past year. Senator Vandenberg said he was sor- | ry this appeared to be the outlook, but expressed the belief that if the merger legislation could not be completed dur- ing the long session which ended last July, he did not see much hope for do- ing it at the short session. The resolution setting forth the con- ditions under which the Congress would authorize a consolidation of the car lines is on the Senate calendar, but has been postponed every time it has been reached, indicating that there is not much likelihood that it can be acted on without a considerable amount of debate. In view of the limited time available at this session, Senator Van- denberg does not see any prospect for an opportunity to take it up. The Michigan Senator said that he did not believe there is as much con- trovers® regarding the proposed merger of the gas companies, which also is on the Senate calendar awaiting acsion. Senator Vandenberg said he was not as familiar with the outlook with regard to the gas merger bill as in the case of the street railway merger. At the last session of Congress, Sen- ator- Howell, Republican, of Nebraska, objected to the gas merger bill as ro- ported from committee, contending that the rates should be reduced before the legislation was enacted. During the recess of Congress, a reduction in gas rates was put into effect. Upon his return to the city last week, Howell said he wanted time to study the new rates and compare them with the rates he suggested at the last ses- sion before discussing what may be done with the pending bill. =k gl Y A class in social dancing at Towa University is attended by 357. ngs up £ % Silk Stockings!
