Three Talk to Garner. Senators Robinson of Arkansas, Wag- ner of New York and Bul of Ohio, | all Democrats, are in conference with Speaker Garner, trying to determine what shall be dane. H Democratic Senators from Eastern states in private conversation today condemned Speaker Garner because of | what they termed his obstinacy in de- | manding that the loans to private individuals be retained in the bill. If they vote for the conference report as | it now stands, it will be with their| tongues in their cheeks and merely be- | gr cause they do not want to throw mud | publicly at their vice presidential can- idate. The opinion was expressed both by | Democratic and Republican Senators | that the conference report as it now | stands will be adopted by the Senate | and the bill sent to the President for his veto, which is confidently expected. Watson Foresees O.K. Senater Watson of Indiana, Repub- lican leader of the Senate, said frankly: “I expect the conference report to be adopted.” He indicated the Republicans would | ‘welcome the issue created by the Demo- | crats in insisting upen-having the Gov- ermment, make loans ta private individ- | uale After the President has vetoed the | bill Senator Watson and some of the Democrats expect that a bill will be ‘worked out much like the pending bill but eliminating the loans to private individuals, The demand for prompt action on this relief measure is growing constantly stronger. For that reason the Senate Jeaders expressed their confidence that | the measure will be disposed of within ! the next few days. Scme of the Senate Deniocrats said they hoped Speaker Garner would yield now on this loans to private individuals provision and let the bill go back tw cenference, thereby eliminating the presidential veto. Others took the view the matter has gone too far, in view of the vote in the House yesterday, and that the bill will have to be passed as 4t is and vetoed by the President. They said they did not believe Speaker Garner would yield at this stage. Senate Postpones Action.

The troops and police were repotted by the government to have fulfilled their duty herolcally and loyally, reporting a number of kiiled anG wounded on both | sides before the revolting groups iso- lated the city and cut off news. There followed looting and burning, but the extent of the pillage was un- known. The rebels were described by the gov- ernment as Communists. Other sources said they were imembers of the Aprista, | which is a group of revolutionaries who deny contact with Moscow. Chiefs Act Quickly.
