Mr. Sperry told Chairman Mason M. Patrick of the commission that he would have a written statement before the commission next week exphlnmg‘ how the tank would not be necessary next Winter after all. The company’s petitions to be allowed to construct the gas holders aroused violent opposition from citizens' asso- ciations in the territories affected, but the commission. impressed by the case made out by the company’s own wit- nesses, ordered it to construct at least 5,000,000 feet of extra holder capacity by January 1, not specifying the loca- ;Ion where the new holder should be uilt. It is not believed that the commis- sion would insist on the company’s| building new storage space over its pro- test, so that the battle of the citizens' assoclations seems to have been won— for a year at least.

By the Associated Press. NOGALES, Ariz, July 9.—A 4-foot wall of water, sweeping down from the mountains of Sonora as the result of & torrential rain, caused damage esti- mated at more than $75,000 when it struck the two border cities of Nogales, Ariz., and Nogales, Sonora, last night Accompanied by high winds, the rain | drenched the mountain watersheds, and | in the hour in which it lasted in No- gales a precipitation of 2 inches was recorded. More than a score of adobe houses in Nogales, Sonora, collapsed as the water melted their foundations. The water ripped open streets and coursed through | business establishments and homes, leaving inches of mud and silt on floors and stocks of merchandise. Several persons were stranded in their homes, but were carried to safety. No lives were lost, and none was re-| ported injured. So great was the rush of the water from the mountains motorists had no time to- drive to higher ground. Many abandoned their automobiles, which were demolished. follows: “The act approved June 30, 1932, Public No 212, enacted to accom- plish savings in the conduct of the Government, requires that during the flscal year ending June 30, 1933, each officer and employe, with certain excep- tions, receiving compensation on an an- nual basis at & rate of more than $1,000 per annum, shall be furloughed with- out compensation for one calendar month or for such periods as shall in the aggregate be equivalent to one cal- endar month. “This means there shall be retained in the Treasury such portion of all ap- propriations for personal services as will equal the saving thus provided for. “To insure such saving as is so Te- quired by the enactment and to avoid payments in contravention of law, a minimum of 114 days' pay (81-3 per cent) will be deducted from each officer and employe to whom section 101 4b) is applicable on each semi-monthly pay roll or voucher—regardless of whether the officer or employe has or has not been absent during such period—a pro- portionate deduction to be made where the pay period is greater or less than & half month.

Speaker Garner told newspaper men | today that if the Republican organiza- | | tion in the House thought it best for | the country not to investigate the| Treasury Department at this time be- cause of the alarm disclosures might | | cause, he would defer it temporarily. Garner made the assertion shortly | after Representative Snell of New York, the Republican leader, had told news- | paper men the resolution calling for the | investigation would not be passed. Snell said there was no reason for such an i investigation. Claims Enough Data. “If the Republicans in the House are ready to support the investigation de- manded by Representative McFadden, then we are ready to go ahead,” Garner said. “We have sufficient data on which to make the investigation.” Meanwhile Garner had a resolution drafted and submitted to the l“[l‘)u!ti Rules Committee calling for the in- quiry. L. H.

REYNOLDS PROBE REDPENS SECRETLY Party Guests Called to Tell, of Shooting Night as | Verdict Nears. By the Assoclated Press. WINSTON-SALEM, N. C., July 9 —A secret inquest into the fatal shooting of Smith Reynolds, tobacco fortune heir was resumed behind the locked gates of the palatial Reynolds estate near here today. | A coroner’s jury is probing the cir- | cumstances surrounding the death of | the 20-year-old aviator, found fatally | wounded on the sleeping porch of his home last Wednesday morning. Most of the important witnesses, in- cluding Mrs. Libby Holman Reynolds, | former Broadway star, were heard at | last night's session. Today it was ex- | pected the jury would hear the stories | of a half dozen Winston-8alem society the Reynolds estate earlier on the night of the shooting. Walker Called Again. Albert Walker, 19-year-old Winston- | Salem youth, who testified last night | and who later was placed under guard | of a deputy sheriff, was returned to the | estate today from the hotel where he | spent the night. ‘Walker, lifelong friend of young Rey- nolds, was the first to reach the latter after he was shot. He is the son of a| retired Winston-Salem business man | and like Reynolds, was keenly inter- ested in aviation. | It developed today that the only per- | son attending the inquest other than the coroner, the sheriff, members of the jury d the witnesses is Alfred | Holman, Cincinnati attorney and father of Mrs. Reynolds, W.

The crux of the controversy, Norbeck, sald, was found in the provision advo- cated by the House and Speaker Garner in particular to permit Government loans to private individuals. Norbeck sald that originally a proposal had been istration that loans should be made to private industries. Senator Wagner, Democrat, of New York took the same view and read from a message of the President propos- to private business. Senator Robinson presented a similar line of argument. He pointed out, however, that the bill as it now stands goes further than the President’s proposal in that it author- izes loans “to any person.” Opposes House Provisions. Declaring he was in accord with Speaker Garner in his efforts to aid all kinds of people in the country through Government loans, Senator Norbeck said it was not possible “to carry out the House provisions for such loans.” “The House provision,” he continued, “holds out false hopes. We all know that it can’t be done; that it is im- possible for the Federal Government to set up banks and loan money in every community in the country. The House provision now in the bill holds out something that looks good, but that is not good.” Norbeck then moved for adoption of the conference report. | Senator Johnson, Republican, of Cali- fornia, sald the most important duty | before Congress at present is to pass a relief bill. He insisted that no one man can dictate the terms of the measure nd said ‘‘some of us may consider parts of the relief bill unsound.” “It ill becomes us, the President or any individual to stand in the way of any measure which will in this time of distress have some promise of relfef to those who require relief,” Johnson added. Places Onus on President. Johnson also contended President | Hoover had advocated loans of a pri- vate character in various messages and statements earlier in the session. Earlier in his speech the Californian had aseerted the President “must take | the onus and responsibility if there be | no relief legislation passed by the Congress.” Senator Watson, the majority leader, asked Johnson if he did not recognize any difference between loans to a private industry that would lead to employ- ment of men and loans to individuals here and there. Johnson replied by asking Watson if he is under the impression the pend- ing bill provides for loans without | adequate security and safeguard. i A Democratic attempt to compromise had collapsed yesterday through Speak- er Garner's insistence upon a provision for loans to individuals. Refuses Compromise. Garner, the Democratic vice presi- dential nominee, refused to compro- mise with Senate Democrats, as he had previously declined to yield to Presi-| dent Hoover. Yesterday's effort to seek a compro- mise from Garner was made by a com- mittee of three Democratic Senators | appointed by a conference of the Senate | minority, Some of those in the con- | ference felt it would be wiser to yield to the President before a veto than | after, and proposed the negotiations with Garner. Although there was considerable criti- cism in the conference of Garner's stand, there was a strong disposition to support the Speaker if he insisted upon | sending the bill to the President in its | present form. ‘The committee appointed to talk the matter over with Garner was composed of Senator Robinson, the Democratic | leader, and Senators Wagner of New | York and Bulkley of Ohio. n Program person with unkempt of a good neighbor. erty Improvement “Therefore he borrowed on his ad- Justed service certificate a total of $1.10 or one-third of the cost of the regular fare to this nearby point,” Mr. Reed ex- plained $39.05 Largest Amount. The largest amount so far borrowed on a certificate was $39.05, which was | for rail fare and food to San Francisco, according to officials. The Veterans' Bureau opened one hour earlier this morning to take care of the rush. Approximately 100 veter- ans were in line when the doors to the main entrance of the buflding were opcned to them. Iato various offices they rushed and witain 10 minutes the first application was approved. As the veterans stood in line before the disbursing officer, an official shouted breakfast of doughnuts and coffee would be served them. Ther: was a grand rush to the loading plat- form in the rear of the big building for the food. Each man was given as much as he wanted to eat, being served by a colored chef. Thanks for the Visit, One veteran upon getting his ap- plication approved thanked the officlals for the sightseeing trip to Washington. “I've been in every building here and I've learned a lot,” he sald. “Beside that, I've made some money on the side selling peanuts on the street. Some of this I spent on myself and the rest on my buddies.” “Say, buddy,” he addressed the busy clerk, “let's take a cigarette, eh? I'm completely out. Thanks. If you're ever out in Portland look me up.” Meantime, the radical wing of the bonus army kept up its weak onslaught on Congress. A delegation of nine members of the Workers Ex-Service Men's League attempted to get on the Capitol grounds today to present Vice President Curtis and Speaker Garner with a petition, but Capitol police, aug- mented by a squad of Metropolitan police, chased them off. Later, they succeeded in gaining an audience with Vice é’qresldenl Curtis and demanded that Congress “appro- priate” the $100,000 loan bill to the veterans, to feed and shelter the vet- erans in Washington.” The delegation also demanded the full payment of the bonus and that Con- gress “must not adjourn before leg- islation is enacted for the immediate cash payment of the bonus.” Escort for Delegation. The delegation was escorted to the Capitel by two divisions of marchers, one headed by John T. Pace, who said he was “chairman of the Rank-and-file Committee,” and the other by Walter Eicker. The leaders demanded their “consti- tutional rights,” and police finally agreed to dispatch a message to Speaker Garner to ask if he would see them. He refused the request. Asked by Pace why a perm’t to parade on the Capitol had been denied them, Vice President Curtis sald he had been willing to sign such & permit, but with- out the accompanying signature of Garner it would not have been valid When told by Pace that the veterans planned to organize a special committee to draw up their own bill on the bonus legislation, Curtis reminded them that the original adjusted service compensa- tion measure was written entirely by war veterans.
