HOLIS SENATE NEARLY ALL NGHT Last of Three Appropriation Neasures Worrying Gongress Washington, Feb. 28 (P—Enact- ment of the last three of the big ap- propriation bills was the task toward which congressional leaders today directed their energies. The over night threat of a senate | filibuster—always a danger to the! legislative calendar in short sessions —was dispelled in the early morning | hours, but other difficulties still re- | mained. The three bills are the naval funds to init struction prog partment supply funds for a host of governmental activities, and a second deficiency of chief concern | measure carrying the 16 warship con- | ; the interior de-| bill providing DARTMOUTH STILL IN RUNNING POR TITLE Reveres Docision of Two Weeks Ago and Defeats Cornell Five 33 to 38. New York, Feb. 28.—P—Al- though its chances seem mighty slim, Dartmouth’s big Green team still is in the running for the eastern intercollegiate basketball league crown. In reversing the decision of less than two weks ago by defeating Cornell 33 to 28, last night, Dart- mouth kept its mathematical chance of tying Pennsylvania at the finish. The decision comes next 8aturday when Dartmouth and Penn meet at Hanover. By winning that game, Dortmouth can finish with seven victories and three defeats. Penn has lost only one contest in eight starts so far and is sure to win the crown if it can beat Dartmouth or take the final game of the season from the tail-end Princeton Tigers. measure to care for deficits in cur- vent appropriations. Senator Dill, democrat, Washing- | ton, held the senate in session until | 40 a. m. today at a result of his opposition to the Nicaraguan item. | Senate leaders, however, gained | some satisfaction today over a gen-| lem-n's agreement reached last| iight to defer consideration for the r-mainder of (his scssion of a bill o provide for reapportionment of | he house and also a companion | ineasure to authorize the taking of the 1930 census. The proposed re- \pportionment of house members vould be based upon this census. | Prohibition Again | But the ning of pressure on this legislation apparently was off- set by the difficulty arising from the | enate's action in sidetracking the: hiousc plan to kill the proposed $24.- | 100,000 increase for prohibition en- | forcement in favor of a $2,700,000 ppropriation for this purpose. The $24,000,000 items was attach- +d by the senate to the first defi- ciency bill. House leaders decided to let this huge sum die in the hands of a conference committee and took practically all other items out of the nieasure and incorporated them in the second deficiency bill now be- fore the senate. | But the senate last night eliminat- | ed from the second bill all items the | house had transferred from the first measure. Now the house, if the transferred items are to be saved,' m. .5t revive the first bill and there- | by breathe new life into the $24,- 010,000 dry law enforcement con- | troversy. Some administration leaders were hopeful today that the two houses would settle their differences speed- | ily but a number of democrats in; both the house and senate were de- termined to force another vote on the $.1,000,000 item, if possible. As only three and a fraction legis- lative days remain of the session bu' little time can be lost and there was a possibility that the senate might be forced into more night' sessions because of this situation. House Nearly Through Except for agreeing to senate changes in various bills, the house has completed most of its work. The order of business toda, was the Jones bill to increase penalties for prohibition law violators with a vote expected before the night ad- journment. For the first time in seven weeks the house ways and means commit- tee was in recess today having com- pleted open hearings «n tariff revi- sion and thereby laid the ground work for an early start by the new congress on the consideration of this question. At the other end of the capitol, Senator Vandenberg, republican, Michigan, in agreeing to cease press- ing for action on the house reap- portionment bill announced he had been assured on the best of authori- ty that the measure would be con- sidered at the special session to be called by Herbert Hoover. COMPLETE TEAM ROSTER Emil Yde and Harry Hellmann Ex- pected Tonight to Join Detroit Tiger Squad. Phoenix, Ariz., Feb. 28 (—Emil Yde, former Pittsburgh left hander and Harry Heilmann, heavy hitting outfielder and first baseman, were | expected tonight to complete the roster of Detroit Tiger infielders training here. Sunday the outfield- ers will report and within the next week “Bucky” Harris has promised the “Regs” and the ‘“Yannigans” will begin their annual rivalry. Roy Johnston, young outfielder purchased from San Francisco is lickering with the Seals for a part of his $70,000 purchase price and has threatened not to report for training. Harris said he was not worried, however, as he has ample material for the outer garden. . . . Well, sir, considerin, Cornell, victorious over Dart- mouth on the Green's home floor a short time ago, was favored to end the race last night. Two Dartmouth players had other ideas, Hein and Spaeth led a Green victory after Cornell had held the lead most of the time, The next contest on the league schedule, a meeting between Yale and Columbia here tomorrow, has little bearing on the final standing. Neither can move ahead of Dart- mouth in the long run although Co- lumbia can gain a tie with the Elis by winning the game, HE GOT HIS REST AMONG DEAF MUTES Judge Sympathizes With Man Who Songht to Escape Noise New York, Feb. 28—Thirty-one years of matrimony, Including the babble of nine children, were about all Peter Fitzpatrick could endure. 8o last June, at 63, he left his home at 361 65th street, Brooklyn, on an extended walking tour, seek- ing the quietest place he could find to spend the rest of his days. He had thought it all over quietly without saying anything to his wife and their nine brawny sons. Five | were married, and the others were strapping youths and. well, Peter figured they had reached the age where they could look out for them- selves. So he just “lit out” and walked and walked in search of the quietest place on earth. At last he found it —=a deaf and dumb infirmary at West Hartford, Conn., where he took a job as night watchman at $12.50 a week. He was quite happy. Peter got a good sleep every day. and the mutes slept while he did this night watching. Back in Brooklyn, Peter's wife, Mary, became dissatisfied. No money was coming in from her husband. Finally she located him, and he was indicted for abandoning her. He told his story yesterday before Kings County Judge Martin. When he at- tempted to speak to two of his sons in court, one of them said gruffly: “Shut up.” Lawrence McGoldrick, counsel for Fitzpatrick, sald his four unmarried sons earn wages totaling $125 a week, 10 times their father's in- come, and that they are well able to contribute to their mother's sup- port. Mrs. Fitzpatrick sald she re- celved only $35 a week, insufficient for her needs. “I will adjourn the case for six months,” Judge Martin said sympa- thetically. “Go back to your watch- man’s job, Fitzpatrick. I guess many a husband envies you the quiet of it. But pay your wife $2.50 a week.” Fitzpatrick . was employed at a Newington institution before taking a place as watchman in West Hart- ford. His location was revealed by a snapshot which he sent to a friend in Brooklyn.
