CONGRESS QUITS WITH CALENDAR CLEAR OF BIG ISSUES

SHOALS DRAFT 1 WAITS SIGNING i BY PRESIDENT Bouider Dam First Item of Business in December Session. BOTH PARTIES PLEASED Claim Legislation Materia! for White House Campaign. BY PAUL R. MALLON United Peers Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, May 30.—The seventieth Congress went home today to repair political fences and prepare for the presidential campaign. It left behind a calendar almost cleared of nationally important legislation. President Coolidge still had the Muscle Shoals bill in his pocket. According to the generally accepted interpretation of the constitution he has ten days in which to sign the measure if he wishes to make it a law. To kill it he has only to keep it in his pocket and thus apply the “pocket veto.” Dam Walts Till Fall The Boulder Dam bill which caused much disorder in closing daj's of the Senate officially is the unfiished business and will be the first problem tackled when Congress reconvenes in December. All other legislation of moment was concluded, save the big Navy bill calling for construction of fifteen more 10,000-ton cruisers and an aircraft carrier. The tax reduction bill was made a law. A comprehensive plan for controlling floods in the Mississippi Valley Was placed on the statute books. The alien property, radio control and some lesser problems were dealt with. The McNary-Haugen farm relief bill was pushed through both Houses, vetoed by the President and then failed of passage over the veto in the Senate. 900 Laws Enacted Nearly 3,000 bills, mostly concerning private claims, were passed and upwards of 900 laws were enacted. Republicans were pleased with the session because they enacted another tax reduction law which they plan to use liberally in the coming campaign. They believed they kept Government expenses to a desirable minimum. Democrats were pleased because they too had gained much campaign material, including the presidential veto of the farm bill. Among the bills enacted and signed by the President in the closing moments were: Postal Rates Cut Postal rate reduction bill of $16,285,000 reducing rates on most classes pf mail to 1921 basis, effective | July 1. Second deficiency appropriation bill carrying approximately $146,000,000. Tax reduction bill reducing next year’s Federal revenues approximately $223,000,000.

145 Sent to State Penal Institutions in 4 Months

Criminal Court Docket Is Up to Date, Says Judge Collins. In four and one-half months this year, 142 persons have been committed to Indiana penal institutions, according to a statement today by Criminal Judge James A. Collins. The statement set out that the Indiana Association of Chiefs of Police ‘‘might have hesitated about going on record” for heavier penalties had statistics on workings in Criminal Court of the revised penal code ben available to members of the organization. According to the data, thirty-one persons were committed to the Indiana State Prison, sixty-eight to the Reformatory, forty-one to the State Farm and two to the Woman’s Prison. One was a life term while the others were for five to twenty-one years, one to ten years, three to fourteen years, and one to seven years. Few Undisposed Appeals ‘ln connection with these figures, I wish to state that for the first time in fourteen years the Criminal Court dockeet is practically up to date,” he said. “Fewer classes are undisposed of now than at any time during the period that I have been the presiding judge of this court. With the exception of a few cases carried over because of the absences of witnesses there are practically no undisposed appeals from the municipal courts. "The Marion County Jail also reflects conditions in Indianapolis, as there are fewer persons awaiting trial than there has been for many years and the jail population is nearer normal now than at any other time since 1915. Cooperation Is Essential “The municipal courts in this city have functioned splendidly and such a system should be established in every large city. Cooperation between the police department and the courts is essential for the prompt and orderly dispatch of county criminal work. “Indianapolis has been exceedingly fortunate in that it has at all times had a police department and a police chief who worked to that end.” RYAN RITES FRIDAY Engineering Inspector to Be Buried From Church.

Mky 30.—Sarajevo, scene of the Balkan affair out of which grew the great World War, again may be the center of an international difficulty as a result of anti-Italian demonstrations. Throughout this entire Balkan country—situated in a district known as the birthplace of wars and as the powder keg for most of Europe—there was the greatest anxiety today concerning the antiItalian demonstrations of the past week. Bum Mussolini’s Picture As they continued and spread, extending to Sarajevo, and spread throughout Belgrade, gendarmerie patroled with drawn weapons in an effort to keep peace. Italy’s protests against the demonstrations have become sharp.

Alarmist newspapers already have reported that Italy has assembled troeps at Zero, although these reports are wholly unconfirmed. Fifty Persons Wounded The gendarmerie are taking the mest rigorous measures to keep pace and have broken up several meetings during the four or five days of demonstrations.

LIFE TERM TO WIFE SLAYER Jury Out Two Hours in South Bend Case. By Times Special SOUTH BEND, Ind., May 30. Roman Luczkowski, 21, is under a sentence of life imprisonment today for the second degree murder of his middle-aged wife, Marie Luczkowski, two months after their marriage. The youth of the husband saved him from death in the electric chair. Commenting on the verdict, one juror said: “We thought that because of the boy’s youth, it would be best to give him second degree murder, figuring that he will be able to get out in ten or fifteen years, and by that time will probably see things differently and make a good citizen.” The jury was out two hours and balloted six times. Mrs. Luczkowski was beaten to death with a hammer, March 22. Martin Grzezczyk, a friend of the husband, revealed the crime to police, after promising him aid in disposing of the body. Luczkowski admitted wielding the hammer, but declared he acted in self-defense, saying his wife threatened to shoot him.

SMITH HOPES HIGH DESPITE SOLID SOUTH Dixieland States Marshal Forces to Defeat Governor. BY C. J. LILLEY WASHINGTON, May 30.—Governor A1 Smith'will go into the Democratic convention virtually assured of the nomination, but he will go without the indorsement of the solid South. The action of North Carolina and Texas in instructing their delegates for dry candidates, plus the resentment to Smith displayed in other Southern States, has caused the unusual situation. What it means and whether it can keep Smith from the necessary two-thirds only the developments of the next few weeks will tell. ■ Doesn’t Need South Smith’s foes are considerably heartened by what has happened and are stirring up all the animosity they can against him. Senator Heflin jubilantly predicts that Smith has been deprived of the nomination by the action of North Carolina. However, Heflin's prediction of Smiths defeat has, been made so many times in the face of the New Yorker’s growing strength that little weight has been attached to it. Smith can be nominated without getting all the South’s delegates, because he has built up so much strength in other parts of the country. Dry Senators, whose delegations never will swing behind Smith, admit that. Whether it will split the Democratic party and form a new one in the South is something they are reluctant to discuss. Hull Not Feared Although Representative Cordell Hull now has North Carolina’ as well as Tennessee’s delegations supporting him, he still is not considered as a formidable opponent of Smith by politicians here. If all States with uninstructed dry delegations vote for Hull, he will make a fairly good show on the opening ballots, but is scarcely expected to gain afterwards, according to views expressed. Appointed to Army School By United Press NEWCASTLE, Ind., May 30. Byron Bunch, so nos Mr. and Mrs. William Bunch, has been appointed to the United States Military Academy, West Point, N. Y., by Representative Richard N. Elliott. He is to report July 2 at the academy. Bunch passed the tests giveh at Ft. Benjamin Harrison and a graduate of the Brooks Flying Schools.
