SENATORS WILL PROBE GRUNDY, ATTERBURY WAR Illinois Campaign Money Also to Come Under Inquiry. BY PAUL R. MALLON, I'nlted Pre* Staff Cnrrr.p'-ndent WASHINGTON, April 11.—The battle between those two Pennsylvania political giants, Senator Joseph R. Grundy, Republican financial genius, and W. W. Atterbury, president of the Pennsylvania railroad, will be one of the first to be investigated by the senate committee designated to inquire into political expenditures. Simultaneously, the inquiry will be directed into the equally picturesque fight resulting in victory for the first woman candidate of a major party for the senate, Mrs. Medill McCormick of Illinois. These twin inquiries at the outset of the committee’s work, probably beginning next week, seemed assured today in view of the charges Grundy has made against Atterbury and the unpublished private allegations that Mrs. McCormick spent a large amount to defeat Senator Deneen in the Illinois primary last Tuesday. Senate Adopts Resolution Investigation of all senatorial elections this year was decided on late Thursday when the senate hastily adopted the Norris resolution appropriating SIOO,OOO for a special committee immediately after the resolution passed. Vice-President Curtis appointed the following committee: Hiram Johnson, aggressive Republican of California, chairman; Goldsborough (Rep., Md.), Patterson (Rep., Mo.), Pittman (Dem., Nev.) and Wagner (Dem., N. Y.). Only a few hours after the committee was appointed Senator Wheeler (Dem., Mont.) issued a public warning over the radio that senators-elect would be denied their seats “if they expend huge sums of money in corrupting voters.” Atterbury has been drawn into the picture by Grundy’s public charges against him. The railroad magnate who also is Republican national committeeman for Pennsylvania, is backing Grundy’s primary opponent, Secretary of Labor Davis. Charges by Goindv In a statement made in an executive session of the privileges and elections committee Wednesday, Grundy charged there were “persistent reports of the alleged concealed flow of corporate funds into the coffers of contractor politicians for the financing of fraud and other illicit uses in the approaching primary by the same (Philadelphia) organization which made the expenditures and directed the corruption which later was revealed as having been employed in behalf of the Vare candidacy.” Grundy asserted “this situation arises out of the fact” that Atterbury has a dual railroad and political position. He also said there were reports to the effect that “the Philadelphia organization, through its leaders, who are Mr. Atterbury’s chief political lieutenants, is being financed ’ gely through juicy Pennsylvan.M. railroad contracts let upon a ‘cost plus’ basis.” APPROVAL FOR PARKER Committee to Favor Nomination as Federal Judge, Bv United Press WASHINGTON. April 11.— A favorable report on the nomination of Federal Judge John J. Parker of North Carolina, as a justice of the Bupreme court, will be submitted t| the senate judiciary committee by the subcommittee considering the nomination.

Wholly Bonds BUCHAREST, April 11.—Human hearts will not be things to trifle with after the passage of anew set of marriage laws drawn by Dr. Junian, minister of justice. The laws provide that: Husbands and wives who leave home are subject to fine and imprisonment of- three months to a year; in breach of promise cases the return of presents is left up to the law; an engagement ring will receive the same respect as a wedding ring and a girl who has one will be permitted to use her finance’s name (hyphenated to her own) even if a marriage is “off.” Other laws and stringent rules are making couples think before they leap into matrimony in Rumania.

This information is among the private charges they have collected, which they want Investigated by an impartial senate committee, they said. “I am convinced from my knowledge of the situation that not more than half a dozen syndicates control the rentals of all the postoffices in the United States, and that the sum involved in rentals is something like $150,000,000 a year,” Nye said. Blaine’s resolution temporarily has been blocked by Chairman Phipps of the senate postoffice committee, who wants the inquiry proposal sent to his committee for preliminary in-
