By the Assoclated Press. . HARRISBURG, Pa., February 18.— The question whether a woman is to be electrocuted in Pennsylvania was before the State Board of Pflrdons here today. . In the 16 years of this form of pun- ishment in Pennsylvania no woman has been electrocuted and no woman has been executed in the State in the last 41 years. , The woman whose fate hung in the balance is Irene Schroeder, who is under sentence to be electrocuted next Monday morning at Rockview Peni- tentiary for the slaying of Corp. W. Brady Paul of the State highway pa- llléozl neay New Castle on December 27, Mrs. Schroeder, who says she is 22, and Walter Glenn Dague, 34, convicted as her accomplice in the shooting of Paul, were arrested 1in Arizona on January 14, 1930, and were convicted last March, The Supreme Court up- held the verdict, but they were subse- quently granted a stay to permit the Pardon Board to review their cases. Dague's appeal for commutation of sentence to life imprisonment was argued jointly with that of the woman, both basing their pleas on the conten- tion that they were tried in a preju- diced community; that they did not fire the fatal shot, and that they had never before been convicted. Mrs. | Schroeder’s petition said she had been | denied the defense of “irresistible im- pulse.” Attorney Percy Rose, Johnstown, pre- senting the woman's case, sald the Commonwealth's counsel offered, near the close of the defense case, to with- draw its objection the “irresistible impulse” defense, and he claimed the jury got the impression that this was a gracious move by the State rather than the r‘lght of the defendant. |MT.

JOHN W. By the Associated Press. John W. Davis, Democratic presiden- tial candidate in 1924, was selected to- ‘day to represent the Senate in its court test of the right to office of Chairman Smith of the Power Commission. Davis' selection and acceptance was announced today by Senator Walsh, Democrat, Montana, who has led the Senate controversy with President Hoo- ver over the Power Commission. The former presidential candidate notified the committee he would be busy on private matters for about & week, but would arrive in Washington as soon as possible to discuss the case and open legal proceedings. ‘The selection of Davis, acknowledged as one of the foremost Jawyers of the country, assures a spectacular trial of the constitutional conflict which has arisen between the Prexlzrm and the DAVIS. Senate over Smith's posif{on. The Senate rejected th\ nomination of Smith after once approving it. President Hoover, however, denied the legality of the Senate's reconsideration and retained the chairman. It is believed that Attorney General Mitchell may personally represent the President in the court test, which mem- bers of the Senate Judiclary Committee believe will eventually go to the Su- preme Court, The committee which selected Davis is composed of Senators Norris, Repub- lican, Nebraska: Steiwer, Republican, Oregon, and Waish. It considered a number of nationally known lawyers including Chairman Wickersham of the Law Enforcement Commission, who was Attorney General under President Taft, and former Sen- ator Pepper of Pennsylvania. CANADIAN POWER TREATY REJECTED Senate Committee Turns Down Pact for Further Ni- agara Falls Projects. By the Associated Press. The Senate Foreign Affairs Commit- tee today rejected the Niagara Falls power treaty with Canada unanimously. The treaty has been pending before the committee for some time and pro- vided for the allocation of additional power from the’ falls to hoth Canadian and United States power interests. Chairman Borah announced the committee “desired to have the power | matter treated as a scparate matte from the other treaty provision relat- ing to the preservation of the scenic beauty of the falls. He related the testimony of Brig. Gen Pillsbury of the Army Engineers that the contract for power allowed under the treaty would be worth $5,000,000 to the power companies. In a statement issued after the unani- | mous decision of the Foreign Relations Ccmmm.e# Chairman Borah said: “The Foreign Relations Committee favors, however, all reasonable action upon the part of the United States to preserve the scenic beauty of the falls. “It objects to this treaty because it purports to enter into a contract with private companies to do certain work and for which they are given the use of a certain amount of water for power purposes. _“It is the view of th= committee that the Government of the United States, in so far as its part is concerned, ought to do this work direct and not enter into a contract with private power companies and pay the price which i hereproposed to be paid.” MAN BETWEEN CARS CRUSHED BY IMPACT Francis Milburt, Fixing Tire, Crit- ically Hurt—Second Autoist Held by Police.

By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, February 18—Charles R. Flint, known as “e father of trusts,” announced his retirement to- day at the age of 81. Once before he retired from business and came back to it because he didn't know how else to occupy himself. This time he says he's through for good. He and his 41-year-old wife, whom he married in 1927, are going to devote themselves to “keeping away from busi- ness.” If the world was ever anybody's stage it \was the stage of Charles R. Flint. Beginning life on the docks at $4 a da after he had failed to land an offic job at $4 a week, he spread his overa- tions in dazzling fashion around the whole world. Bought Navy for Czar. He bought a navy for the Czar of Russia and built one for the Republic of Chile. He peddled warships to Japan. One day found him in Con- stantinople negotiating for the sale of guns to Turkey, and in the next he ar- rived in Moscow with a $35,000,000 let- ter of credit from the Rothschilds. In 1908 he was negotiating for Wright airplanes for foreign govern- ments, and he was presented with a drinking cup by the Czar. Two years later he acquired the American rights for Labeuf torpedo boats. His ability as an organizer brought him the title of “father of trusts.” His fine flair for doing big things in a big way at a time when big business was just beginning brought his services into demand by many corporations. Aided Mergers. He had a hand in planning the American Woolen Co., United States Rubber, the Sloss Sheffield Steel & Iron Co., the American Chicle Co. and the Computing Scale Co. ‘The talents which enable men in busi- ness to amass fortunes are of as high an order as those which bring success to artists and poets and musicians, he believes, although he insists it is “pure greed” that creates the motive for amassing million after million. Mr. Flint became a partner in Grace & Co., New York financial house, when he was 21. Hired for Nothing. “I asked Mr. Grace for a job with no salary. He told me that was pmblbly all I was worth and hired me,” he said. A speech he made in 1880 was the first gun in the “trust” movement toward industrial consolidation, he be- lieves, Mr. Flint was born in Thomaston, Me,, in 1850.
