A:mob, estimated at. 3,- 000 persons had broken into a mad riot across the bridge over the Seine river, which divides the place from the chamber building. They howled “resign, re- sign,” and their voices were heard into the chamber. An auto bus caught in the jam was destroyed by fire. Mounted and foot. police charged into the demonstra- tors repeatedly and were pelted by stones and broken glass. The police called for troops. _An_ thi midst of this wild de p ies passed its second vote of confidence of the; day on Premier Edouard Daladier, and gave him a vote of 302 to 204. IER CALLS o RADICAL PARTY PARIS, Feb. 6.—Premier Maladier summoned his radi- socialist party to aid him “to prevent civil war,” lest “the republic be forced to abdicate.” “The “fundamentals of agitation lie in economic and financial crisis.

S. BAR SENATE JUDICIARY COMIT- TEE TOLD PASSAGE OF MEASURE WOULD SET BAD PRECEDENT (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.—As- berting the government should not “set the pace for debt escape” by ss » Jacob Lashly of St. Louis ie faxing put the American Bar ‘ABoetation “and © United States chamber of commerce on record against the house municipal bank- ruptcy relief bill. Lashly told a senate judiciary sub-committee that the Sumners- Wilcox bil? passed last) June by the house, permitting the local gov- ernmental units to petition a court for a scaling down or exten- ;sion of their debts, would set a “bad precedent,in American eco- nomics, law and politics.” He said it also would “promote cowardice, increase the psycholog- ical depression, and cause in- erease in tax delinquencies” at a time when tax payments were on the increase. Lashly further main- tained the measure was uncon- ‘stitutional. Lashly appeared after George A. Bangs of Indianapolis, presi- dent of the United. Mutual Life Tny surance Gompany, had raised oth question of constitutionality ‘and said the whole ‘burden’ of ' scaling down the city debts would fall on ‘policy holders, their widows and orphans, educational institutions, and savings banks which hold most tof the $20,000,000,000 of out- standing municipal bonds. , Senator Herbert (R., R. LL) asked if the bill would permit a ‘crowd of “chislers” to enter the situation. Bangs agreed and said a certain ‘group in Florida which he did not name stood to win a million dol- \lars if a plan of readjustment | went through. Lashly said the government should “not lead the way” in en- jcouraging the breaking of “public! promises” _ and that municipal Hebts were in a more inviolable telass than private obligations, } “The government.” he asserted, “should lead the way to carrying on in some manner until a better day comes, until promises can be fulfilled.” Lashiy said he personally be- lieved the state should take care of the city situations, either through leans from revolving funds and some other aids similiar {to those extended in Canada.

INARY HEARING WILL BE ARRAIGNED AT NEXT TERM OF CRIMINAL COURT {breaking and entering and_ the ¢ounty jail for trial at the next term of criminal court. Kennedy was given a inary hearing yesterday before County Judge Hugh Gunn. After the evidence was heard and a {statement made by the prisoner accepted by the court, he was placed under bond of $500 on the first charge and $100 on the sec- ond. Early Saturday morning the de- fendant entered the. weather bu- eau,. which is also the home of eteorologist G. S, Kennedy and his family, entrance was by forcing the screen from a win- prelim- _ | dow. Entering the home the -intru- der wanderéd about the lower story and then started upstairs. This aroused Mr, Kennedy, who started to get his pistol and in- vestigate. His movements fright- ened the house breaker who jump- ed from the window and made his escape. He went next door to the resi- dence of M. E, Berkowitz, chief pharmacist at the Marine hospital, took a bicycle and rode from the seene. Chief of Police Evaristo Rivas was notified of the thefts and with Special Officer Leroy Torres went on a hunt for the thief. He w: located a short time later and ar- wrested. The bicycle was recovered. It developed, after a search of | the-weather bureau ‘rooms, that} Kennedy had taken some change and articles of little value. The money he took he would pay back, he told Captain Rivas. At the hearing yesterday he said he was drunk and did not know what he was doing. In fact, he had no knowledge of having done anything wrong. A pertinent question was asked by Meteorologist Kennedy when the prisoner pleaded being drunk, this was “how could a man who was so drunk as to not be cogniz- ete of his actions, mount a bicycle and swiftly ride away?” GENE SARAZEN, NOTED GOLFER, SOJOURNS HERE MET MAYOR WILLIAM H.

A lower court upheld the board’s policy. “By its action,” said the su- preme court opinion, “ the board of public instruction in effect im- posed celibacy and social state akin to poverty or destitution as prerequisite for a lady to teach.
