Much will depend, however, upon the disposition of the Senate and whether it intends to fight for its bill The House bill carries all provisions contained in the Scnate measure passed last night except those on Federal Re- serve Bank loans to individuals and the reorganization of the reconstruction unit. “The President does not like the Ben- Doctor Slain by Veteran ate provision permitting Federal Re- serve banks to discount under certain Testrictions the paper of private in- dividuals and corporations,” Represent- ative Rainey. ““There also is & provision in the Sen- ate bill authorizing the Reconstruction Finance Corporation to create ngrlcul- tural credit corporations in the 12 land bank districts by bscribing a max- imum capital of $3,000.000.

This provision is contained in the House bill.” Within two minutes after it met at noon the House had adopted a special ru'e for consideration of the relief bill. with debate limited to 20 minutes for each sifie. The rule Wwas presented by Representative O'Connor of New York, who said the House proposed to g0 ahead with its own bill, and particu- Jarly in view of the fact that a motion had been made in the Senate to recor- sider the vote by which the Wagner bill had been passed. Debate was opened by Representa- tive Bulwinkle of North Carolina, who declared tha* the bill would work a hardship on the textile industry of the United States since it permitted the Government to finance the forelgn mills; purchases of cotton, whereas the American industry hed to pay cash without such aid. He said he hoped the bill could be amended in conference. Representative Cochran of Missiouri expressed_his regret that in drafting the bill the Ways and Means Commit- tee had omitted many of the public works items contained in the Garner bill, vetoed by the President The Senate, confident the President would accept its new measure, adopted it lasf fter a drive by an ir- resis n coalition.

BABY FOUND DEAD; BELIEVED HIT BY BUS Two-Year-0ld Hyattsville Boy Is Discovered Lying in Street Near Parents’ Home. By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. HYATTSVILLE, Md., July 13— Believed to have been struck by a bus, Dale Clark, 2!5-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Clark, was found dead in the street in front of his parents’ home in the first block of Oakwood road here about noon today. The child's sister, Patticia, 5 years old, told her mother a bus had hit Dale According to neighbors, a Wash- ington Railway & Electric Co. bus is scheduled to pass that point about the time the child was found. Constables Carl Blanchard and Andrew Gasch of Prince Georges County immediately left for Washington to cee if they could locate any bus that might have been involved in the accident. A coroner’s jury was impaneled on the scene by Justice of the Peace John A. Downing and will hold an inquest at the Hyattsville police station FPriday night. The Bladensburg rescue squad was summoned, but the child was dead when it zrrived. BROKEN PROMISE CHARGED TO JAPAN Interference With Operation of Railway in Manchuria Cited in Dispatch. By the Associated Press MOSCOW, July 13.—A dispatch from Khabarovsk pub! here today said the Japanese had failed to fulffll thelr promise not to interfere with the opera- tion of the Chinese Eostern Railway in Manchuria. The railway is jointly owned by China and Russia. The dispatch said that the railway harbor on the Sungari River at Harbin was seized on July 7 by 4 group of Manchurian local police commanded by | a Japanese adviser representing the staff of the Manchurian river fleet. The Japanese adviser, whose name was given as Khoriushi first appeared with five Japanese and demanded that the railway’s commercial chief hand over the keys to the loading docks and warehouses, it said. ‘When this was refused, it added, the Japanese official returned with a squad of police, who removed the railway guard and broke the locks and seals on_the warehouses. The action, the dispatch charged, was prompted by a Japanese desire to lease the harbor to a Japanese trans- portation firm which is a branch of the South Manchuria Railway, and thus Senate | without a record vote after less than At the top is Frank Cassel (left), de- ranged World War veteran, who today shot and killed Dr. Victor A.

Furthermore, by | implicating the American representa- tives, they have managed to crystallize the anti-debt revisionist feeling through- out the country as it has bcen un- equivocally expressed by the leading members of the Scnate. It is believed that henceforth the | ple to reinterpre! | the effect asked for a glass of water, and. |, President hes his hands completely tled by the Senate, and it will be almost im- possible for him to take any construc- tive action, even after the presidential | elections. | In responsible quarters there is a good deal of uneasiness regarding what is | going to happen on December 15, when the allies are due to resume the pay- | ments of the sums suspended by the Hoover moratorium. Qne fact is known for certain, and that it that whatever happens Germany will not pay a cent for_reparations If the Lausanne agreement holds good, a fact which many officials seem to doubt at present. what will the other nations do? The general opinion is that the debtor nations will default, if they are abie to stand by the Lau- sanne agreement.: that is to say. if their parliaments agree to ratify that pact. Payment Is Doubtful. Whether the British and the French governments will be willing to pay their December installment to the United States is extremely doubtful The French have ratified the Mellon-Beran- | ger debt-funding agreement with a pre- viso voted unanimously by the French | {Chamber wherein it was stated that| France will live up to that agreement | only as long as Germany continues to pay the sums due by the reparations agreement. It is true that the restric- tions included in the ratification of the American-French agreement has no legal value as far as this country is con- cerned. but it has an almost binding cffect in as far as the French govern- ment is concerned in relation to the citizens of France. The British havc the Balfour decla- ration, which says that Great Britain would reduce the debts of their debtor naticns by the same amount the United States is willing to reduce Britain's own debt. Lately, however, there has been a strong move among the British peo- that declaration to thet Great Britain should pay no more than she receives from her debrors If these two leading creditor nations decide to eflopt the point of view that since they have reduced the German t by 90 per cent. their own debts to the Unitea States should be reduced by a similar amount, it is believed in offi- ial circles that all the other debtor cuntries would follow the lead of America’s principal debtors and join France and Great Britain in the repu- diation of their debts. Private Debts Affected. What is worrying responsible officials in this country more than anything els> is not t. effect of debt cancellation but its effect on the private debts. The | former allies owe the United States some $12,000,000,000. This amount has been considered a doubtful debt rince last year. But the people of this coun- try have invested abroad. outside these governmental debts, some $19,000,000 - 100 and the question arises whether pri- vate debtors would follow the example | of their governments and plead inabil- ity to pay either the principal or the interest on these private debts. For the time being nobody is capable of giving an answer to this problem. The ky New York bankeris believe that a gencral repudiation of all debts. in- tergovernmental and private. would neeessarily follow the repudiation of the crgovernmental debts. Others believe that such a step is im- probable, and that the whole thing de- pends on mass psychology; if the pri- vate debtors feel that they should follow the footsteps of their governments, they will default; if they feel that these pri- | vate debts have nothing to do with the public debts they will pay | In certain diplomatic quarters it is believed that the reaction abroad to the unequivocal statements of the Sen- will be as disastrous to the Lai sanne agreement as was last year's dilatory attitude of France to the Hoo- ver moratorium proposal Lest year France was accused of having practically nullified the effect of the Hoover moratorium by dickering over relatively unimportant matters Now. in many European _countries there is a tendsncy to turn the tables on the United States by saying that the banging of the door in the nose of the European creditors by saying that this country is finally opposed to any debt reduction is likely to jeopardize the results of the Lausanne agree- | ment | McKELLAR PLAN FAILS.

The sleepy and hungry men were sent into the Capitol Building this morning by Robertson to wash up and shave. Meanwhilé. there was a lull in the filing of applications for transportation at the Veterans' Administration Build- ing. From midnight Monday to mid- night Tuesday a total of 273 veterans had taken edvantage of the $100,000 bill by filing applications for transpor- tation and subsistence to their homes Of this total, officials said, 266 left by train. Since President Hoover signed the bill last Friday the total number of applica- tions filea is 1.489. Of this total, 1358 have actually departed from Washing- ten by train and 45 given subsistence to travel by automobile. Officials emphasized today that the bill would expire at midnight tomorrcw and urged veterans to file their applica- tions early to avoid the last-hour rusn. Silent on Californians.

Each day, the specter of hunger haunts most of the bonus forces. Thou- sands of pathetically thin and ragged men and dozens of women sit inertly and helplessly around the camps, wait- ing for national headquarters, or their camp commander, to figure out some way to feed them.

DUBLIN, Irish Free State, July 13.— President De Valera's bill to abolish the oath of allegiance to King George today began its period before it can become a law after a demonstration in the Dail Eirann last night that the President’s lines were holding firm.

With the Dail and the Sen- ate in disagreement, the bill must lie over a year and a half before it auto- is a general election in the meantime. | During the debate which preceded action by the Dail, De Valera charged the opposition with dishonesty. “I accuse the President of being a | liar,” retorted Desmond Fitzgerald. former minister of defense, as he leaped | to his feet to deciare a point of order. ‘The speaker finally quieted the tur- moil by explaining that the President | did not mean personal dishonesty.
