FURTHER ACTION YVoting Expected to Begin Late Tonight. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN, Staff Correspondent of The Star. CHICAGO, June 30.—Franklin D. Roosevelt, Governor of New | York, was placed in nomination for President in the Democratic National Convention this after- noon. The nominating speech for the leading candidate for the presi- dential nomination was made by his old friend, John E. Mack of New York, who years ago gave Roosevelt his first nomination for public office, State Senator. ’ When Mr. Mack concluded his | address and named Roosevelt, there was a huge demonstration. A parade of the States started; around the hall, headed by Min-| nesota, and participated in by nearly all the rest, except those having favorite son candidates. Parade Impressive. The great organ of the convention | hal! pealed forth triumphantly as the | marchers slowly made their way through crowded aisles. At intervals the organ was silenced to give opportunity to hear | the cheers of the dejegates Huge poster pictures of Roosevelt were carried in the parade and banners. One of them read “New York delmw: are loyal to you.” i Two women delegates rode by the speaker’s stand, perched on men’s shoulders. The parade was impressive because of its size and enthusiasm.

MARINE OFFICER KILLED When Weekly Quotes Prose- cution on Guilt. By the Associated Press. FLEMINGTON, N. J., Jupe 30—A defense motion for withdrawal of a | juror and declaration of a mistrial in the trial of John Hughes Curtis, al- leged Lindbergh bay case hoaxer, was denied today. Ryman Herr, one of Curtis’ attorneys, District Tax Rate Remains at $1.70 For Fiscal Year The District Commissioners to- day set the tax rate on real and personal property for the fiscal year 1933 at $1.70 per $100 as- sessed valuation. This is the same rate that has prevailed for the past several years. ‘The 1933 appropriation bill for the District carries a provision forbidding the commissioners to lower the rate and accordingly they elected to keep it at the present level. Normally the rate is based on figures submitted by District Auditor Daniel J. Donovan, which are made public at the time the rate is announced. In the present instance, owing to the lateness of | | the passage of the 1933 supply bill, the auditor’s figures will be | % his recommendation to the for the $1.70 made the motion on the ground that Curtis’ case had been prejudiced by an article in the Jocal weekly newspaper ! which credited the prosecution with | stating that the defendant was “as good ‘e states that a report covering the ble revenues of the District for 1933 and 1934 is -being and will be ready for pre to them at some as convicted already.” The motion was made in chambers before court was convened for the day and was denied by Judge Adam O. Robbins without comment. Policeman on Stand. When court was convened Capt. | John J. Lamb of the State police, yesterday's final witness, resumed the stand. The article to which Herr took ex- ception appeared in the Hunterdon County Democrat, published today and sold on the court house steps as prin- cipals and spectators entered. Many copies were seen in the court room. ‘The paragraph objected to by the de- fense reads: “The difference of opinion between State witnesses as to the good faith and reliability of Curtis’ clues is not ma-| terial to his guilt or innocence, the prosecution contends, voicing in an aside opinion that ‘Curtis is as good as| convicted already.’” Continues Reading Statement. Capt. Lamb continued reading the statemeut, interrupted by adjournment yesterday, which Curtis made the night after the Lindbergh baby's body was found.. This was before Curtis con- fessed that all his negotiations with the kidnapers were imaginary, a confession he later repudiated. The statement Lamb read today con- tained an assertion that a letter “Dyna. mite,” one of the alleged kidnapers, hat for Col. Lindbergh was addressed in the time next week. |.C.C.

President Hoover was informed today by congressional conferees on the un- employment relief bill that they would not complete their agreement until next week. This word ended all chance of an adjournment of Congress by Saturday. Members of the Conference Com- mittee told the President that even if they completed their tentative agree- ment today, it could no be drafted until next week. Earlier in the day, just before the conferees resumed consideration of the $2,300,000,000 Garner-Wagner bill, Rep- resentative Rainey, the Democratic leader, told newspaper men a report would not be ready for presentation be- fore next Tuesday. Rainey expected the conferees would finish their work by tomorrow night, but said it would require nearly two days for experts to get the bill in proper form for returning it to the Senate and House. He added there h-dkbeen no undue delay in conference work.

President Hoover today signed into law the much-debated and battle- scarred national economy bill, esti- mated to save around $150,000,000 in Government expenditures. However, the President expressed his disappointment over the measure in the following statement: “I have signed the economy bill, but with limited satisfaction. “First, it falls far short of the econ- omies proposed by the cabinet and other executive officers of the government; | many items of their proposals, which | were in turn recommended by commit- tees on economy of the two Houses | failed of passage.

Some department officials were reported to be in favor of the five-day week in preference to the 30-day com- pulsory furlough plan.
