SENATE GROUP WILL WAR QN SECRET VOTE Amendment to Rules Will Be Fought Out on Floor of Chamber. REED IS IN OWN TRAP Bounty Clause of Farm Bill May Be Added to Tariff Measure. BY PAUL R. MALLOX I nited Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, May 22.—A new effort to abolish secret sessions was started in the senate today, as its rules committee began an investi;:a;ion to determine what senators and how many gave out the secret roll calls by which the senate confirmed Customs Judge Lenroot and ibrmer Secretary of Interior West. Senator Hugo Black <Dem., Ky.) introduced an amendment to the rules, stating: "The senate shall pass upon all nominations submitted to it in open session.” Hi asked that it lie on the table so he can force a vote upon it when Senators Jones of Washington and Robinson of Arkansas bring up v.ifhm the next few days their less arasiic amendments, authorizing a majority of the senate to determine w hether nominations should be con;.deied secretly. Reed in Own Trap The rules committee gathered in its room about a table filled with food when it launched its inquiry into alleged violations of its rules. The committee was to decide whether it would call upon senators to say if they gave out the roll calls carried by the United Press or upon newspaper men who reported the vote. Debate on senate secrecy was expected to break out again later in (he day, in view of the discovery that Senator David A. Reed (Rep., Pa.), leading defender of the secrecy rule and its observance, apparently had violated the rule in debate yesterday. Reed said he had introduced two years ago a resolution to expel members of the press gallery who reported executive business. It was learned the resolution was introduced in executive session and that therefore Reed, according to his announced principles, is liable to expulsion from the senate for divulging the fact. New Hope for Farm Bill While these matters were agitating the senate leaders the farm conference found new hope of a solution of the debenture dilemma. They are planning to have Democrats propose the debenture provision as an amendment to the pending tariff bill in the house, so it can be eliminated from the farm bill. With it eliminated the farm measure can be passed speedily and sent to the President for signature. Official business of the senate was the reapportionment and census bill, upon which a vote is expected tomorrow’. The bill is expected to pass by a strong majority over the opposition of southern Democrats. General debate continued in the house awaiting action from the ways and means committee on changes to be made in the tariff bill. A caucus of Republicans is to bo held Thursday to plan final passage of the tariff by the end of next week, so Congress can recess, the senate for five weeks and the house for two months

May 22.—Two thousand xeet above the uneven Nevada plain today Pilot Hugh Barker, strapped in the control compartment of a flaming tri-motored transport plane, with seven men and one woman aboard, played a grim game with death. From a faulty portside motor, wind whipped the flames around the cabin, the wings and fuselage. Before Barker could right the plane from the momentary twist caused by the failing motor, the flames had enveloped the right side of the huge monoplane. Barker clung to his controls while his mechanic and passengers sought to escape the flames, which licked against the right side of the cabin. With a skilled hand. Barked righted the plane after the shifting of his frightened passengers unbalanced it.

As a small, even landing spot appeared, Barker maneuvered his flaming ship to a pancake landing. Abe Warner. assistant pilot, smashed the cabin door and the passengers scrambled out, uninjured except for the shaking up received in the landing. Barker was the last to leave the plane. The spot where Barker landed was surrounded by ruts and ditches. Chance alone afforded the small, safe landing spot. The monoplane was destroyed, together with its load of mail. The loss was estimated at SIOO,OOO. The plane left Salt Lake City at 9:35 o’clock Tuesday night and was scheduled to reach Oakland, Cal., at 4 p. m. today.

POLICE ILL KEEP UP WAR ON SPEEDERS Removal of Limit Not to Let Down Bars for Reckless Drivers. LICENSES AFTER JULY 1, All Motorists Will Be Required to Take Out Permits. Increased speed permitted in cities and towns by the state motor law amendments, which became effective Tuesday, will not affect speeding arrests on Indianapolis streets, Ira P. Haymaker, safety board member, indicated today. The amendments, removing the forty-mile limit on open highways, increased the speed limit in “closely built-up business portions” of cities and towns from fifteen to twenty miles an hour, and in “residential portions” from twenty-five to thirty miles an hour. “But traffic officers here have not been making arrests in residential districts under thirty miles an hour under the old law\'' said Captain Lester Jones, head of the traffic department. “We’ll follow' the state law,’’ Haymaker said, indicating the increased speed limit v/ould not bring any further leniency beyond the thirtymile figure. The new amendments did not alter the provision of the state law prohibiting cities and towns from enacting ordinances affecting the speed of motor vehicles other than trucks and commercial vehicles. Violations Are Rare Jones said that the speed limits in the business section rarely are violated and that traffic arrests there grow out of recklessness. For that reason, he does not expect the new “business district” speed limit to mean any change in enforcement. Courts are left to determine whether districts shall be regarded as business or residential, he said, as well as to determine whether driving is reckless in view of traffic conditions, use of the highway, weather conditions, and other factors mentioned in the law'. Sheriff George L. Winkler announced there will be no changes in the policy of his office, although the law now permits traffic arrests by officers not in uniform. The sheriff has uniformed all his patrolling deputies. The patrol members will be instructed in the new law on highway speeds and will enforce it accordingly,” said Winkler. Secretary of State Otto G. Fifleld discussed provisions of the drivers’ license law which becomes effective July 1, before approximately 150 auto license branch managers in the house of representatives today. James L. Bradley, license division head, presided. Co-operation Is Asked “Unless we have the co-operation of every citizen and every police official of the state to bring about proper enforcement of the law’s provisions, the act can be of no benefit,” Fifield told branch managers. “Every law vialator should be reported immediately to local, state or county authorities.” The licenses will be obtainable in the auto license division of the statehouse or at branch offices throughout the state. All applications presented by an agent, or mailed, must be notarized and certified to by a freeholder who knows the applicant personally. Any citizen, as well as any police office *, may report any operator to the secretary of state for an examination to test his fitness or qualification to operate a motor vehicle, accorrnanying the report with an afdavit setting out the reason why the operator’s or chauffeur’s license should be suspended or revoked. License Is Required The law' requires driver’s license of every person operating a motor vehicle, excepting those obtaining chauffeur’s licenses. A chauffeur’s license, valid for one year, will be required of drivers of commercial vehicles, hacks, taxicabs or trucks. Driver’s licenses will not be granted persons under 13 unless the application is accompanied by signature of a parent or next of kin. Under certain conditions, children between 14 and 16 may obtain license to drive to and from school. Drivers’ licenses will cost 25 cents and be good for three years. Suspension or revocation of licenses is mandatory for manslaughter resulting from an automobile accident, drunken driving, perjury in applyig for license, conviction of a felony under the motor laws, three convictions for reckless driving in one year, an dfor hit a ndrun driving. Suspension or revocation may follow an accident caused by reckless driving, incompetency or physt ’ infirmities or habitual recklessness or negligence. When a license is revoked, no application for new* license will be considered for a year. Drivers will be given hearing when the department issues citation for suspension. Misdemeanors under the act are punishable by a fine of not more than SSOO or imprisonment for not l more than six months, ox, tyath. I ’ "
