CONFEREES TO ATTEMPT COMPROMISE TOMORROW: Leaders Standing Ground on Both Sides Over Prinoiple at Issue. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. Sematcr Borah of ldaho served notice in the Senate today that no ‘more appropriation bills could pass until the relief fund for the drought- stricken and unemployed was agreed to. At the conclusion of Senator Borah's speech, in which he attacked the attitude of Majority Leader Til- #on of the House and the admin- fstration, which is opposing the re- lief fund, Democratic Senators arose and cheered the Idaho Senator. Senator Borah's statement in the Benate today in a measure relieves the Democratic leadership of that body from bearing the sole blame of forcing & special session of the new Congress if the appropriation bills fail. Senator Caraway of Arkansas struck out savagely at President Hoover and Republican leaders in the House who are opposing a $25,000,000 appropria- tion to provide food and other neces- sities for the needy during the Senate debate today. The Arkansas Senator's speech was delivered in reply to statements by Rep- resentative Tilson, Republican leader of the House; Chairman Snell of the and others to agree to compromise the principle in- volved in its opposition to the proposed appropriation. Conferees Meet Tomorrow. The conferess of the Senate and the Houss on the Interior Department an- propriation bill to which the Senate added the $25,000,000 relief fund, are to meet at 2 p.n. tomorrow for their first of the differences be- -n the two Houses. ”:n’:fl.hcf a compromise can be worked out in connection with the $25.000,000 tion is & conundrum which no seemed able to answer today.

After Caraway n Slender Red Cross Aid. “There mever has been a day when my brother would not share his last cent with any one in need,” said Sen- ator Caraway. “Yet he writes me that the Red is feeding people in Ar- kansas on 44 eents to 50 cents a per- son a week. I challenge Mr. Tilson, who got his brother appointed a Fed- eral judge and taken care of for the rest of his life at Government expence, to say whether this is sufficient money to feed people in Arkansas, Mr. Tilson came over to this Chamber and would Jet no one rest until his brother's ap- pointment to be a Federal judge was confirmed.” > Senator Caraway declared that “every one knew that Mr. Tilson's brother was not fitted for the job." The Arkansas Senator went on to say that he con- sidered it a great deal more honorable for & man to ahead and work with his hand® as brother had done in Arkansas than to have & brother in Congress go about importuning Sena- tors to vote for confirmation of ap- pointment to & Federal job. $10,000 Job for Opponent. “And the man in charge of this fight in the House,” continued Senator Cara- way, “who by the grace of his people has been remoyed from the House, has just got himself tucked away in a 310,000 job to be paid for out of a Government appropriation for & jotic se.” A M— Representative Cramton of Mic n, who handled the Interior Department appropriation bill in the House, to -g.Ecn the Robinson amendment for the $25,000,000 relief fund has bren at- tached. Mr. Cramton. who was d-feated for renomination to the House last year, has been mentioned as the probable selection of the George Washington Bicentennial Commission for appoint- ment as an executive officer of that commission at a salary of $10,000 a ear. 2 Benator Caraway stated at the out- set of his address that he had prepared gome questions which he wished put to the President and to those members of the House “who say that to yleld to this appropriation would be to destroy the Red Cross and the Government jtself. He said he hoped the President would reply in his own proper person and not ihmulh an official spokesman. Re- ferring to the fact the President several weeks ago had issued a statement charging that some members of Con- gress were playing politics at the ex- pense of human misery, Senator Cara- way said he wished the President would “tell us who is playing politics at the expense of human misery now.” After quoting a statement made by mrmnuuvz ‘Tilson published in the ly newspapers, declaring a vote to sustain the $25,000,000 appropriation for relief would stick a knife in the heart of the Red Cross, Senator Caraway called attention to the fact that in 1919 Mr. Tilson had voted in the House to turn over a $20,000,000 fund for relief of Russians to the Red Oross.

MRS. RUM TRIAL FACED BY REPRESENTATIVE Edward E. Denison Loses on Appeal of U. S.—Accused Early in 1929. Edward E. Denison, Representative from Illinois, must stand trial on an indictment charging him with the pos- session of & trunk containing intoxicat- ing liquor in his office at the House Office Building in January, 1929, ac- cording to a decision of the District of Columbia Court of Appeals in an opinion by Justice Josiah A. Van | Orsdel. ‘The appellate tribunal reverses the action of Justice Peyton Gordon of the District Supreme Court, who had sustained a demurrer to the indictment on_ the theory that the indictment failed to sufficiently acquaint the de- fendant with the charge so that an acquittal might be pleaded in the event of an effort to again charge him under the same state of facts. Cited Gordon's Past Stand. United States Attorney Leo A. Rover and Assistant United States Al m&“fll Burkinshaw by direction of partment of Justice prosectited the appeal, which was decided today in their favor. The prosecutors claimed that Justice Gerdon, when United States attorney, had signed many indictments contain- ing counts in the same language chary- ing possession of intoxicants and spe- clally called the court'’s attention to the Jacobs case, progecuted by Gordon, in which the Court of Appeals had held the language of ‘*he :ndictment good.

By the Associated Press ALLAHABAD, India, February 2.— | India’s restless millions were summoned to action anew today by the Working Committee of the All-India National Congress, which ordered that there be no let-up in the campaign of civil dis- obedience. At the same time, a demand was made for the release of thousands of political prisoners. The order was contained in a reso- lution passed several days ago after release from prison of Mahatma Gandhi and other Nationalist leaders, but was made public only now, when it appeared that activities were being allowed to lapse. MacDonald Offer Rejected. In effect the move means that Prime Minister MacDonald's offer at the Lon- don Round-table Conference of an even- tual q domi status for In- dis—self-government with important reservations to the British crown—has been rejected and that war, the passive war of and non-recognition m law, will continue. There is nv!hlm chance of Nationalist participation in any negotiations to come. 1In addition to the disobedience clauses of the congress committee’s resolutions, attention was called to the right of the Indian to picket the foreign cloth, nar- cotic and liquor shops without breaking the law. The resolutions expressly af- firmed the people’s right to make their own salt and demanded withdrawal of repressive measures against Nationalist activities. The resolutions brought large on the horizon the possibility that Gandhi and his fellows would be back in prison shortly. Their release was in order that the section of Indian opinion they rep- resent might have an opportunity to voice its reaction to the Round Table Conference Upon leaving Yeroda Prison, Poona, ‘Gandhi told officials he probably would be back shortly. Bombay Wants Peace, Bombay business men are hoping that he and other members of the com- mittee will come there this week for a meeting of the Indian Federated Cham- bers of Commerce, when the viewpoint of Indian industry, that the civil dis- obedience campaign must be discontin- ued, will be presented him. But lfttle nope is held of a modification of his attitude. At Rawalpind! a communal riot in which a Sikh officer wes burned alive and & large number of persons injured emphasized more than ever over the week end the difficuity of reconciling various Indian viewpoints. The rioting grew out of a roast heef feast of some Moslems and the protest of Hindus at the slaughter of a sacred cow. Ter- rific fighting ensued and a deputy com- missioner and police superintendent took a large force into the village. Gandhi today observed his dn{ of silence and would say nothing. All the Congress leaders except him were leav- ing for their homes this evening. He will go to Bombay tomorrow. pE—Y Asks Bounty on Dog Hide.

N PHLADELPH Question of Public Court- Martial to Be Decided Later. Charges Being Drawn Up. OFFICER IN NEW YORK MAY CALL ON DAVIS Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., May Be Summoned as Defense Witness, Adams at White House. General court-martial of Maj. Gen. Smedley D. Butler will be held Monday, February 16, at the Philadelphia Navy Yard. This official announcement was made today at the Navy Department. The charges and specifications under which Gen. Butler will be tried are now being prepared and will be made public, provided there is no opposition from Gen Butler, the department said. Whether or not the court-martial will be open or closed will be deter- mined later. Rear Admiral Louis R. De Steiguer, now commandant of the third naval district, with headquarters at New York City, is head of the board of inquiry. Meade in New York. Rear Admiral David F. Sellers, judge advocate general of the Navy, with his assistants continued today to draft the charges and specifications upon which Gen. Butler will be tried, Lieut. Col. James J Meade, chief of staff at the Marine Corps base at Quantico, Va,, where Gen. Butler is under arrest, was represented as being in New York City today, presumably to confer with John W Davis,. 1024 Democratic presidential nomigee, with a view to securing the eminent attorney's services to head the defense counsel. Maj. Gen. Ben H. Fuller, com- mandant of the Marine Corps, explain- ed that Gen, Butler has not requested leave of absence to perfect his defense, but such would be granted, if asked. Gen. Butler was directed by naval of- ficials last week to place himself under arrest at Quantico. Marine Corps officers said unofficially that the service is rallying to the de- fense of the famous general, who is under fire because of alleged remarks about Premier Mussolini having killed a child with his automobile as a hit- and-run driver. Information from Quantico is that a number of Gen. Butler's friends have volunteered their services in his behalf, Adams at White House. Becretary Adams made the announce- :mc today after a visit to the White louse. He also had conferred with Judge Advecats General Sellers of the Navy. Upon leaving the President’s office he ;nld he called to talk about “naval af- airs.” Asked if he had discussed the Butler court-martial, his reply was that it was “against principles to talk about such matters.” i The naval Secretary walked up from the Navy Department to the White House executive offices, entering and leaving by a side door. At the Navy Department, Secretary Adams said chliges and specifications against Butler still were being prepared by Sellers. They will be made public, he said. roviding no opposition to such pub- Plicity is made by Gen. Butler. General Orders Cited. Navy Department legal authorities see in one of the general orders of the department a prohibition against ut- tering addresses, such as Gen. Butler is accused of doing, and this section, they say, may be invoked against him. General Order No, 46, issued by Sec- retary Denby May 20, 1921, said in part: “The Navy Department will maintain no censorship on discussions or articles on professional subjects by persons b:- longing to the Navy. Nevertheless, un- restricted utterance or of publication of fact and opinion may divulgs informa- tion which it 15 not advisable to make public, and may constitute an offens: against military discipline, as ‘conduct prejudicial to good order and discipline.’ “For jinformation and guidance of the naval service this order enumerates some of the limitations which come und:r the naval regulation “‘a. Articles bearing on the foreign policies of the Government. “'b. Articles offensive to foreign gov- ernments. “‘c. Open discussion of war plans, proposed or approved strategic and tac- tical plans, or of new developments in naval material not yet made public.’ “Any communication intended for the public should be composed only after mature reflection in a spirit of good faith and good temper and in a seemly and proper manner.” Vanderbilt May Testify. No official reason was given for se- lection of Philadelphia as the court martial scene. The opinion was ex- pressed at'the Navy, however, that it was due to the ity's “availability”— especially inasmych as it was there that Butler made the speech which has led to his latest difficulty. Some of his hearers on that occasion may be sub- poenaed. The prospect that Cornelius Vander- bilt, jr. might be a witness for Butler grew. Vanderbilt, at Phoenix? Ariz., said he might have “a good many things to say regarding the case at the proper time. In some quarters Vanderbilt is cred- ited with having supplied the material for Gen. Butler's Philadelphia speech, in which he is reported to have told a story that Premier Mussolini was a hit-and-run driver. Meanwhile, referring to the Butler- Mussolini incident again in the Senate, Senator Heflin asserted, “The hope of the world is for somebody in the United ng to tell Mussolini where to get ot The Alabama Democrat said he was sick and tired of this red-handed tyrant.” VANDERBILT MAY TALK. ’ PHOENIX, Ariz, February 2 (#)— Cornelius Vanderbilt, jr, may have “a (Continued on Page 2, Column 5.)

Forty-seven surgical stitches, several fractured ribs and the loss of his auto- mobile were the price paid by a visi- tor to the Capital early today for tak- ing two strangers for a ride in his car. The police are looking for a man in uniform of the Marine Corps, and a woman, who are alleged to have driven off with the car after attacking the driver and leaving him unconscious beside the road. ‘The beaten man, a patient in Casualty Hospital, is William B. Lumsden, 26 years old, of Raleigh, N. C., who drove to this city on business for < mond, Va., electrical firm. Ao e Found Unconscious in Street. Lumsden was found unconscious on | Braneh avenue southeast by Willlam Lane, 1224 Fifth street southeast, and Gus Elgin, Seat Pleasant, Md., and taken to Casualty Hospital, their report being the first intimation police received of the affair. The North Carolinian regained consciousness after reaching the hospital and was able to tell his story to Detectives T. C. Bragg and H. E. Brodie. He said he was standing in front of the Hamilton Hotel, where he was regis- tered, about 1:20 o'clock this merning when the man. in unifcrm addresscd him, pointed to a young woman stand- ing nearby and asked if he would not like to take a ride with them. The trio boarded Lumsden's car and drove from the hotel. Lumsden was able to recall that the man in uni- form had ‘a pistol, and police think it possible ‘that Lumsden was Lealen with it. Lumsden's car is missing. A pistol was found on the ground near the wounded man. It is said by the police, that the weapon bears very distinct finger prints and the prints may furnish a clue to the identity of its owner.. Physiclans at Casualty Hospital examined the wounded man and reported finding fractures of several ribs, in addition to the numerous cuts and bruisss to his face and head.

Homeward bound from a week end | trip, thre= members of a Capital family were kiiled, and the fourth was badly injured in a triple collision which sent their car hurtling over a 10-foot em- bankment on the Richmond-Washington Pike, 6 miles south of Fredericksburg, The dead are Dr. Ernest W. Smith, 50 years old; his wife, Mrs. Janie Hi Smith, 50, and thér 16-year-old son Christian Joy Smith of 409 Randolph street. Another son, Paul, 12, who suffered fractures of both legs, is in the Mary Washington Hospital, Fr:dericksburg. The Smith’s had been to Richmond to pass Sunday with relatives. En route back to Washington, about 8 o'clock, their car was sideswiped by another, and, out of coptrol, ploughed across the highway into a car driven by B. G. Talley of Richmond. The impact threw both of thes: cars over the embankment, wrecking them. Smith was killed instantly, his wife died on the way to the Predericksburg Hospital and the older boy a short while affer reaching the institution. Escape Serious Injury.

Acting on the authority of the United States Supreme Court in the Mal Daugherty case, the District of Co- lumbia Court of Appeals today in an opinion by Justice Josiah A. Van Orsdel sustained the right of the Federal Trade Commission to enforce subpoenas for the attendance before the commission of the Miller'’s National Federation of Chicago and the Bims Milling Co. of Frankfort, Ind, in an inquiry which the United States Seriate had directed the commission to make into the pro- duction, distribution, transportation and sale of flour and bread. ‘The appellate tribunal reversed the action of the Distriet Supreme Court which had granted the pef injunction against the commission and upheld the power of the commission to conduct inquiries the direction of the President or efther house of Con- gress to investigate and the facts tions of the anti-f t acts by any corporation. ‘The court points out that the com- mission has power to require by sub- poena the attendance and testimony of witnesses and the production of all such documentary evidence relating to any matter under investigation. The organic act of the witnesses may be subpoenaed from any part of the United States to any place designated for & hearing, and in case of contumacy ot refusal to obey a sum- mons may apply to the Distri Court of the United States where it is hold- ing the hearing to compel appearance and to punish for contempt on failure to appear, the court finds. * In the Daligherty case the United States Supreme Court held the power of the Senate to camgel appearance of the witness, but was silent on the - tion of requiring production of - mentary evidence. The court holds that the latter question is not involved in the present case, since the commission is clothed with power to compel attend- ance, and in the event of refusal may invoke the ald of the nearest United States District Court.
