DRY QUESTION IN SPOTLIGHT OF CONGRESS Both Houses Are Back in Session for Six Months or More. TARIFF BILL TO FORE Prohibition Argument to Be Bitter, Advance Talk Indicates. BY PAUL R. MALLON United Press Stall Correspondent WASHINGTON. Jan. 6.— Already under the spell of the looming November congressional elections, congress convened today for a straightaway session of six months or more. It will deal with two important political issues—tariff and prohibition. The long-delayed tariff measure, Introduced nearly a year ago, is the official pending business of the senate, but prohibition Is the unofficial business of both houses. The situation is especially interesting because the entire house and one-third of the senate must go from this session into the fall campaigns, to be judged, largely, on the basis of records made at this time. Probabilities are there will be a thorough airing of views, particularly among the drys who are divided regarding the charges made by the leading Republican dry campaigner, Senator Borah of Idaho, against the existing enforcement system. Enforcement Issue The house is expected to take the issue by the horns immediately and adopt, after some debate, the Jones resolution calling for a congressional committee to inquire into proposed unification of enforcement agencies under the justice department. Later, probably about Feb. 1, there will be another fight over prohibition appropriations. Meantime the preliminary report, of President Hoover’s law enforcement commission is to be made public. Senate leaders are hoping to curtail prohibition debate as much as possible by appealing for early action on the tariff. Prospects for the tariff bill never looked brighter. Estimates of the various groups as to when it will pass the senate vary from three to six weeks, but no one believes the bill will be held up longer than six weeks. It will then go to conference with the house. While agreement between the two houses will be difficult because of wide differences in the bills favored by each, methods of agreement already are being discussed. More congressional authorities now feel an agreement Is possible than ever before. Expect Agreement The senate will go to work Immediately on the tariff with a gentlemen’s agreement between the groups that no other business will be permitted to intervene. The house will work on the war department appropriation bill which was reported from committee today. Off the floor, senate committees are to resume Inquiries this week into lobby activities, radio, and cotton speculation. Disputes also have arisen among Republicans over committee assignments. But an agreement Is expected by the committee on committees tomorrow. The agreement is expected to permit Senator La Follette (Ind. Rep.. Wls..> a place on the finance committee.

MARIE JOSE PAID HOMAGE OFALLITALY Royal Couple, to Be Wedded Wednesday, Joins in Morning Hunt. ROME ROARS WELCOME Brilliant Military Pageant Is Staged in Honor of Princess. BY THOMAS B. MORGAN. United Press Staff Correspondent ROME, Jan. 6. —The capital inaugurated today the elaborate prenutial celebrations in honor of Princess Marie Jose of Belgium, who will become the bride of Crown Prince Humbert Wednesday. An early morning hunt in the deep forest, where deer and wild boars roam, near the royal hunting lodge of Casteporziano, opened the day for the princess and her fiance. The royal couple, accompanied by many other members of royalty and court personages, went by automobile to the hunting lodge, ten miles from Rome, and for more than two hours praticipated in the chase. Many deer and boars were killed and will be distributed to various charitable institutions in the capital Royalty to Be Feted The day’s schedule will be climaxed by the reception at the palace, where the king and queen of Italy will honor the foreign royalty assembled here for the wedding. The Italian government paid homage to the affianced couple when Premier Mussolini and all members of the cabinet, accompanied by the chiefs of the Fascist party, went to the Quirinal palace. Meanwhile, the dress rehearsal of the folklore procession, in which about 5,000 persons and 400 horses will participate, was held. The procession, telling the history and romance of Italy, will parade through the streets of Rome later this week in honor of the crown prince and his bride. Pageant Is Brilliant Today, after a night’s sleep In the great Quirinal, the palace where, in the natural course of events, she will some day be mistress, Marie Jose discovered that not only Rome, but all Italy, had taken her to its heart. Princess Marie Jose's welcome here, made memorable by a resplendent state ceremonial, but made human by the uproarious welcome of an enthusiastic people, left no doubts as to the popularity of the royal couple. It was in her honor that Rome produced one of the most gorgeous military pageants of modem times, a pageant that drew the whole population to the streets or rooftops until every square and every house appeared black with people. Prince Greets Bride-to-Be The royal party frojn Belgium arrived on schedule time at a redcarpeted. flower-covered station, lined with a guards regiment in shining cuirasses. Crown Prince Humbert, who had met the train at the little station of Tarquinia, sixtytwo miles from Rome, hastily had told his bride-to-be the last-minute preparations for her reception and the wedding. The procession passed through streets in which messed soldiery kept back the press of 200.000 Romans anxious to see Marie Jose, all of them cheering like mad for the smiling princess. Ten thousand troops were lined along the mile and a quarter road from the station to the Quirinal. Keeping to her plan as the traditional “white bride.” Marie Jose easily was distinguished from the royal group by her white coat, her white fox collar and an enormous bouquet of white orchids.

BONDSMAN SMASH OPENED BY JUDGES

‘Whispering Rail’ Abolished Under New Plan of Procedure. First steps to stamp out professional bondsmen and shyster attorneys In municipal criminal courts were taken today, as Judges Dan White and Thomas E. Garvin exchanged their civil benches for criminal jurisdiction at police headquarters for sixty days. Judges Paul Wetter and Clifton R. Cameron, who occupied the criminal court seats, moved to civil courts in Marion county courthouse. The trade was the result of a conference between Governor Harry G. Leslie and the judicial quartet last week. Abolition of the profesisonal bondsman and shyster lawyer was his motive in arranging the conference, the Governor told the judges, urging regular exchange of benenes. “We are not here to work hardships on any one, but to enforce the law,” Judges Garvin and White agreed. They posted notices to bondsmen that after Saturday, persons signing bonds for release of prisoners from city prison must describe all real estate properties, and list mortgages and other incumbrances on them. “The law allows a bondsman to sign a bond equal to one-half of the value of his property. Signing of $20,000 bonds on S3OO lots is ancient history in these courts," both judges declared. Personal checks will be refused in the future, although cash bonds can not be denied, they said. Ultimately, they plan to break up soliciting in jail corridors by bondsmen, who in turn work with attorneys in turning over cases for defense. Judges Garvin and White said today they hoped to have a bailiff in the near future, on duty from 6 p. m. until 6 a. m. to guard against such practice. Judge Garvin’s first reform was reinstatement of the open witness chair, and abandonment of the “whispering rail” popular in Judge Wetter’s regime. Testimony will be heard throughout the courtroom, he said.

MILLIONS ARE APPORTIONED TO CHARITIES Coolidge, Smith, Rosenwald End Task as Trustees of Hubert Fortune. $7,500,000 DISPENSED 33 Institutions Are Chosen to Receive Largess of Russ Immigrant. BY MORRIS DE HAVEN TRACY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Jan. 6.— The millions amassed by a once poor Immigrant from Russia, who was a failure until he was 40, were distributed for the public good today by three of the nation's leading citizens—Calvin Coolidge, Alfred E, Smith and Julius Rosenwald. The money represented threequarters of the $10,000,000 fortune left by Conrad Hubert, under the terms of his will, his executors appointed Coolidge, Smith and Rosenwald to control its distribution. After working on the problem since June, they announced the distribution, revealing that they had divided it approximately as follows: To hospitals and welfare institutions in New York City, $1,300,000; to Jewish institutions, $625,000; to work for the betterment of the conditions of Negroes, $750,000; to organizations concerned with mental hygiene, $500,000; to the Boy Scouts and the Girl Scouts, a half million dollars each; to colleges, $650,000, and the remainder to a wide range of charitable, educational and religious institutions. No Endowments Each gift is given for a specifis purpose, either already announced or agreed upon privately. No endowment funds are set up or given contributions. In every case, the money is for projects involving capital expenditure an not for running expenses, and each gift is supplemeted by ‘an urgent request”— in the words of Governor Smith—that a like or greater sum be raised from other sources. The distribution is the last remarkable chapter In a remarkable life. Hubert successively was a cigar dealer, a restaurant proprietor, boarding house keeper, farmer, milk dealer and finally, as he neared 40, a dealer in watches. Then he invented the electric flashlight and an uncertain career a.s an unimportant business man, was replaced by the accumulation of millions. When he died, he not only left a large sum, but it was revealed he had disposed of what might be considered a comfortable fortune, by his patronage of charities. Coolidge, Governor Smith and Rosenwald on Friday met a small group of newspaper men in the directors room of the Bankers Trust Company here, and told them of their work. They had accepted the responsibility of distributing the fortune last June, and since then the three had met twice monthly at the Bankers Trust.

Study 300 Applications Over 300 applications for a share of the Hubert Fortune were studied by the three men and from that number thirty-three have been chosen. They added a regret that they did not have many times the amount available, so numerous were the worthy causes they had found. The meeting of the three with newspaper men itself was remarkable. Coolidge acted as chairman of the committee, but Governor Smith did the talking for the former “White House spokesman.” He explained that In distributing the money they had considered these points: The greatest good to the greatest number. The charities to which Hubert in jiis lifetime had contributed. The fact that Hubert at varioua times had made his home in New York, Jersey City and in Florida. Pressing need for the project un* der consideration. The facts contained in the financial reports and revealed in other investigations of the various institutions. “We have had a pleasant time together,” said the Governor. “We have been glad to do it and see this vast sum poured into religious, charitable and educational channels.’f Speak in Praise Coolidge and Rosenwald both spoke words of appreciation for the others upon the committee. The specific donations were ordered made as follows: To be paid out of funds immediately available; St. Vincent’s hospital, New York, $590,000; Boy Scouts of America, $500,000; Girl Scouts. Inc., $500,000; Provident hospital of Chicago for the training of Negro physicians, $500,000; Beekman Street hospital, New York, $500,000; Children’s Aid Society of New York for a children's center on the west side, $200,000; American national Red Cross, $375,000; the Y.
