A4 wxE “DEATH SENTENCE” GAIN 15 REJECTED New House Vote Spurns Reosevelt Demands for Utilities Bill. lCon!.mued From First Page) the only way to protect this project which means so much to the people of Maine.” Brewster Explains Vote. Brewster voted yesterday and also today against the “death sentence” clause. He insisted in his statement to the House today that he was strong- v in favor of regulation of holding companies. His vote, he said, did not indicate any lack of appreciation of the serious problem which the public utility holding companies present in the concentration of economic power. “If their abolition involved the punishment of the miscreants, jt would be easy to say amen,” said Brewster. “The irterests of raany | innocent and honest investors. how- | ever, is also invoived and seems to require a pause. In the roll-cail vcte by whicn the House substituted the House bill for | the Senate bill, 165 Democracs and | 92 Republicans voted “ave.” Voting| “no” were 130 Dem>crats, 7 Repub- licans, 7 Progressnes and 3 Farmer- | Labor. The vote, as announced by the Speaker, was 257 to 147. The House also voted down & mo- tion made by Representative Holmes, Republican, of Massachusetts, to re- commit the bill with instructions to etrike out section 11. This is the much controverted section, which in | the Senate bill carried the so-called “death sentence” clause, eliminated in the House section 11. | only Burns Overrules Rankin. o A final effort was made by Repre- | eentative Rankin, a supporter of the | Fresident in the fight for the “death | sentence” clause, to obtain a record | vote on that section of the bill alone. He demanded that Representative | Eicher of Iowa, another supporter of the President, be permitted to make the motion to recommit instead of Representative Holmes. Speaker Byrns, however, overruled | Rankin’s point of order. The Speaker pointed out that Holmes was & mem- ber of the minority party in the House | and also that he was opposed to the bill. The rules of the House, the Speaker said, have been written to | protect minority rights and. therefore, he had recognized Representative Holmes. Before the record vote in the House on substitution of the House bill for that of the Senate. the House in com- ! mittee of the whole voted 246 to 133 in support of the same proposal. The vote in committee of the whole was taken by tellers In vain did Representative Rankin, Representative Connery and other | Democrats supporting the President plead. | Representative Sam Ravburn of | Texas, chairman of the House Inter- state Commerce Committes, who yes- terday voted with the President in support of the Senate death sentence clause, before the vote today an-| nounced to the House he would sup- port the House bill with the hope that the difference can be ironed out in conference. The President might | be able to obtain concessions from the conferees, Along with Rayburn, in the vote today, went a number of Democrats who have been inclined to support the President in his fight for the death sentence clause. The effect may be to soften somewhat the blow to the President’s prestige in the House, aris- | & ing from his defeat on the death sen- tence clause. Speaker Byrns, at his press confer- ence before the House met today, said he was by no means sure the House bill would be vetoed by the President | it it is finally sent to him. This was contrary to the warnings which were issued from the White House, how- ever. The so-called death senience clause. | under which public utilities holding companies deemed “unnecessary” by the Securities Commission could be eliminated within seven years. was adopted in the Senate by a margin of only one vote. Democratic Leaders Split. The House Democratic leadership | has split over this bill. Speaker Byrns, for example, has supported the President. Representative Boland of | Pennsylvania, the Democratic whip, on the other hand, voted against the President yesterday. 2 The defeat of the President in com- mittee of the whole yesterday, by a vote of 216 to 146, was a rude jolt to the prestige of the Chief Executive. For two years the House has accepted the legislative recommendations of the President. Only in veterans' legisia- tion has the House been recalcitrant. Meanwhile, Representative Hoeppel, Democrat, of California sald in a rtatement to the Associated Press that work-relief funds were being used to whip recalcitrant members of Congress into line with the President’s views. “It's the damndest. thing I've ever heard of.” he added. He said he had been “interviewed by fome one high up” this morning and told that his vote “ought to have been cast the other way.” “It was indicated to me,” he said “that my vote against the President may have some affect on the works relief appropriation for California. * * * I'm opposed to any form of | Nazi-ism, or the use of public money in the alleviation of human misery as a club on me to ¢ontrol my vote. “There is a concerted move on foot | to intimidate Congressmen to support the President in the utility fight and they are using Federal funds for re- lief purposes as the club.” TEXAS COWS “SISSIES,” MEXICO AIDS RODEO| Wild Cattle to Provide Thrills at Famous Home of Cow- boys. Br the Associated Press. PECOS, - Tex., July 2.—Cattle on what once was the home range of the toughest of them all, the Longhorn, have gone “sissy,” but the cowhands still like them with lots of fight. So managers of the annual classic of the range which opens tomorrow in Pecos, where the world’s first rodeo was staged in 1883, had to import 35 wild cattle from Mexico “to make it Interesting.” “We got Mexican cattle because they are tougher,” said Fenton (Toughey) Alley, rodeo manager. The first rodeo ever recorded was staged here July 4, 1883, when cow- hands from Pecos country, famed in fiction and legend, had an argument 2bout which could do a better job of roping and riding. | did, follows: THE EVENLING STAR, WASHINGTO N, D.

MERIDIAN, Miss., July 2.—Back to earth after more than 27 days aloft, Fred and Al Key today slept off the effects of & record endurance flight, which they said succinctly wasn't “any fun.” The brothers, who brought their plane, the Ole Miss, to a safe landing at 7:06 p.m. (Eastern standard time) yesterday, broke all existing marks for sustained flying. Their record is | 27 days 5 hours and 34 minutes. Thousands of spectators cheered as National Guardsmen led them through the mass. “It's been a hard old fight,” said | Fred Key, “but it's O.K., I guess.” | “We're mighty happy, of course, we broke the record,” Al Key declared. The official endurance record of 552 hours 41 minutes and 30 seconds was set in 1930 at Chicago by John and | Kenneth Hunter. The Keys also | smashed the unofficial record of 647 | established in 1930 by Dale Jackson Al Key sald the decision to land was reached after the brace wires on the stabilizer were stretched, “allow- ing it to flutter quite a bit, bringing | great danger of its breaking off.” | J. D. Sellers, Mississippi governor for the National Aeronautic Associa- | tion, directing official of the flight, \ telegraphed the association in Wash- ington that the Keys had set a nu' record. Trial From First Page.) = of two Wisconsin men, gripped & clean handkerchief in nervous hands. The neatly dressed. one-eved hill- billy cupped his hand to his ear to hear better the testimony of George “revenuer” sallegedly shot in the chest by Quesenberry. Kirkpatrick told of leading the ex- | pedition against the sylvan still, where the grizzled mountain man is alleged to have made his sweet corn Whisky. The raid of the revenue men was described earlier in the day by John Galleher, special prosecutor, who told the 12 bronzed men facing him in the jury box: “All that the Common- wealth demands is that this man be | given the punishment he deserves for his heinous crime.” Stilison Hall. chief of counsel for ' the accused. seized this opportunity to repl\. “All that the State asks is that the punishment you set be just. I am sure you will do that and be ! eminently fair. “Probably no man ever tried in this court deserves more consideration at your hands than this man.” Hall repeatedly injected objections to Galleher's opening statements, but Judge J. H. R. Alexander overruled the attorney on every point. Widow Attends Trial. Behind Quesenberry. who donned spectacles, sat Mrs. Lillian McClary, widow of the dead policeman. Kirkpatrick. burly and tanned. told of being wounded during the raid “Without warning an old man in a gray cap started shooting from be- hind some barrels. One shot struck me in the breast. I fell.

He admitted under cross-examination he was a mile away from the point where M Clary was shot. Pirecrackers exploding in the court house yard - momentarily disturbed ! proceedings. The judge ordered the | premature Fourth of July celebration | to be halted, and Lucas Phillips, as- | sistant defeuse counsel, pursued his cross-2xamination. J. R. Curley, sheriff of Prince Wil- | liam County. took the stand. He was| & member of the posse that combed the hills above Goose Creek by Ever- green Mills after Kirkpatrick was shot. Curley told of visiting three homes in that section in their search for the | firer of the shot. “We were looking for the man we had been told was Quesenberry,” Cur- ley said. The search took them high into the hills and deep into the forest. The trial got under way at about 10:30 a.m., when the jury was finally chosen. The court room was only partly filled for the proceedings, which are expected to Teveal sensational in- side information on the moonshine | making activities in Loudoun County. Kerlin said he fired five times at a | man who told him to “git back thar” on the brow of & hill March 17 dur- :n( the search. “Is that man in the court room?” asked Galleher. “Right there.” Quesenberry. Kerlin's shots. fired in the moon- Kerlin pointed at ————————— light, had no effect. The sherift said the man then “was very dirty; his whiskers were long; his hands were black; he looked mighty different from the way he looks now.” Quesenberry, now shaved and clean, laughed silently at this information. Phillips and Hall tried to lead Ker- lin to admit members of the posse that night thought others than Quesen- berry fired the shot that wounded Kirkpatrick. But the sun-tanned offi- cer repeated his description of the man he met at the gate. The rien had a short conversation before Kerlin left, he said.
