CONGRESSMEN BETWEEN FIRES !N BONDS WAR Trapped by Rival Group in Dispute Over Cash Payment. TALK POSSIBLE VETO Compromise Looming as Possible Windup of Current Hearings. BULLETIN /'•!/ United Press WASHINGTON. Feb. 2—C. E. Mitchell, chairman of the National City bank, told a senate banking and currency sub-committee today that flotation of billions of dollars worth of bonds to enable cash payment of war veterans Insurance certificates would cause hundreds of small bank failures in I he United States.. BY MARSHALL M’NEIL Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. Feb. 2.—Bonus legislation hearings, forced by those who favor cash payment to World war veterans now, continued before house and senate committees today with the possibility that a decision ..oon may be reached by one of the two. Representative Rankin (Dem., Miss.) pleaded with the committee today for the cash bonus, declaring that “If the veterans of the World war ever needed what the government owes them they need it now.’’ He argued that circulation of money at this time would help revive business. As an alternative to floating a bond issue, he suggested '.hat taxes could be increased on the wealthy. “I’d put the same wound stripe on the purses of those who made fortunes from the war as on the shoulder of the soldier who faced the guns in France,” he said, pointing to treasury statistics showring the great increase of millionaires as a result of the war. Compromise Is Hinted If any legislation at all is reported by the finance committee to the senate or by the ways and means committee to the house, it probably will be some measure of compromise, a bill, say to increase the present loan value of adjusted compensation-cer-tificates. Hearty opposition to proposals for cash payment has been voiced before both committees by the treasury and by bankers. They see the spectre of another and deeper depression lurking behind the momentary “boom” which would accompany the fioatiitg of the bond issue of $3,000,000,000 or more that would be required to pay off the bonus. Session to End Soon These statements seriously have excited the financial centers of the country; but at the same time the hearings have enthused proponents of cash payment so as to make many of them predict that there will be legislation this session. But this session will end in just twenty-seven days. Hope for a compromise was given when Veterans Administrator Hines testified before the house committee Saturday. He spoke again against cash payment, but said a proposal to increase loan values of the adjusted compensation certificates would least effect our economic situation. Now Is Serious Issue It is claimed on behalf of one f these proposals to hike the amount a veteran may borrow on ills cerificate, that there is money enough now in the treasury's bonus inking fund to take care of the increased loans. But exhaustion of this reserve, built up over a period cf years, may entail other financing. It is believed, of course, by those who oppose bonus legislation that ,i presidential veto of a bill of wide cope could not be overridden in this sesssion of congress. Cashing the soldier bonus really has become a serious issuer since the American Legion executive committee met just a week ago and, reversing its previous position, voted in favor of some such relief lor ex-service men. Congress Between Fires Thus, in the changing of what, a lew months ago, was just a rosy dream into a full-grown, controversial issue, congressmen have been caught between two enormous forces. On one hand arc the veterans—voters, hundreds of thousands of them— favoring cash payment. A congressman who wants to come back to congress doesn't ignore the ex-service men in his district, nor doe 6 a senator snub them. On the other hand is the administration, opposing cash payment, and backed in this opposition by the treasury, the bankers and* business men. ‘Set Back’ Is Predicted The former claim the government owes them a debt, that this is exactly the time to pay the debt, on the theory that circulation of immense amounts of money would help remedy the depression. The latter claim the country can not stand now the floating of billions of dollars of government bonds, which would be necessary to make the cash available. This attitude was reflected in week-end statements of New York financial concerns. These spoke of the “nervousness” of the market over bonus agitation. One said the “main worry of the street now Is the proposal to pay the soldier bonus.” and another predicted a "devastating set back" if cash payment were agreed on.

NEJDL ACTS TO FORCE VOTE ON AGE PENSIONS Senator Serves Edict Bill Must Come Up for Last Reading Today. Senator James J. Nejdl fßep., Lake), pioneer champion of old age pension legislation, today served an ultimatum on Lieutenant-Governor Edgar D. Bush and Republican senate leaders that he will demand the third and final reading this afternoon. , Nejdl asserts that when the G. O. P. senators caucussed last week and decided to hold the bill until Feb. 10 he was not present nor notified. This action he looks upon as a “double cross to kill the bill.” Those at the conference in the Lieutenant-Governor’s office at the state house this morning were Bush, Nejdl and Senators Lee J. Hartzell (Rep., Allen and Nob’e) and Roy M. Friedley (Rep., Delaware.) “I Want Honest Action” Hartzell Is president pro tern of the senate, having defeated Nejdl for that position, and Republican floor leader. Friedley is caucus chairman and presided at the session disposing of the Nejdl bill by the postponement plan. “I want action on this bill and honest action,” Nejdl warned, pounding the table in the lieutenant governor’s inner sanctum. “If this bill is not given a fair chance -for passage this afternoon when I call it down, I’ll bl >w you out of the water and she w how many senators are not men of their word. “You can be for or against it, but don’t try to kill It by such indirect action as postponement and delay.” Prepares Short Statement To support his contention of a “double cross,” Nejdl has prepared a short statement regarding the bill’s history in this session and setting out by name the senator's who agreed to co-operate in its favorable disposal. Certain of these senators are said to have been prime movers in the caucus plan in Nejdl’s absence. Senator C. Oliver Holmes (Rep., Lake), an opponent of the measure, stated after the caucus that he thought the delay would furnish opportunity to “kill the bill." On second reading the hill was amended, making it optional with counties and in committee the pension age was changed from 65 to 70 years. Bash Refuses to Comment The bill pased by the house is the bill as drafted originally, it being a Democratic platform measure. It also is pending action in the senate. Nejdl said that when third reading starts this afternoon he will have Senator Will Brown (Rep., Jasper, Newton, Porter and Pulaski) call for a vote as his name is one of the first on the alphabetical list. Bush refused to comment on the conference or caucus, but pointed out that a motion to postpone action by making the bill a special order of business Feb. 10. will be in order when the bill is called.

GEN. BUTLER FACES TRIAL ONJEB. 16 Date of Court-Martial Hearing Is Set by Navy Department. ADAMS, HOOVER CONFER Activities of Officials Bolster Leniency Hint in Case. By United Press WASHINGTON, Feb. 2. The navy department announced today that the court-martial of Major General Butler will be held in Philadelphia Feb. 16 at 10 a. m. The navy department at the same time said the specific charges against the general will not be made public until it ascertained if Butler desires them to be published. The charges are an outgrowth of remarks allegedly derogatory to Premier Mussolini of Italy which Butler made in a speech at Philadelphia. The trial will be held at the navy yard In Philadelphia. Whether it will be open or secret will be decided by the seven high navy and marine officers selected to sit in the court-martial. Prier to the navy department announcement, Navy Secretary Charles Francis Adams talked for fifteen minutes with President Hoover today and immediately after his return to the navy department it was reported that important changes were being made in the papers bringing charges on which Major Butler is to face court-martial. Adams went to the White House immediately after a conference in the office of the judge advocate of the navy, where the charges against Butler had been drawn up. The activities of Adams and Mr. Hoover added to an already strong belief that considerable clemency will be exercised in dealing with Butler’s case. Italians Deny Ride By United Press ROME, Feb. 2.—Cornelius Vanderbilt Jr., American mentioned in the “Butler incident,” was given an audience by Premier Benito Mussolini in 1926, it was revealed at the foreign office today. The audience was not regarded as important, officials, said, and no record of it was found in a preliminary examination of the files. It was pointed out that there was no record of Vanderbilt having ridden in a motor car with Mussolini. Officials said that if Vanderbilt had ridden with Mussolinlo in 1926 he would have been the first American so honored, and the fact would have been recorded and remembered. Vanderbilt was mentioned in reports received here as having told the story that Mussolini ran over and killed a child while driving his automobile. BOOZE CASE UPHELD Representative Edwards to Be Tried on Liquor Charge. By United Press WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.—Representative Edward E.

The trunk had been shipped here from Florida. The district supreme court earlier had upheld Denison’s demurrer to the indictment on the grounds that it was “not clear and specific.” SLAIN CHIEF OF RUM VESSEL IS EULOGIZED Guard Killing Described as Tragedy of Prohibition Hypocrisy.

DIRIGIBLE WILL HOP FOR CANAL Los Angeles to Take Part in Naval Maneuvers. By United Press LAKEHURST, N. J., Feb. 2. Final preparations were made today for start of the flight of the dirigible Los Angeles to the Canal Zone. Hie Los Angeles expects to arrive in Guantanamo bay in two days. A brief stop will be made at Guantanamo bay before the craft goes on to join the combined Atlantic and Pacific fleets. This will be the second trip of the Los Angeles to the Canal Zone, the craft having flown there in 1928. Under the agreement whereby the United States was given the Los Angeles after the World war, the craft was not to be used in any wartime preparations and specific consent had to be obtained from Great Britain, France, Japan and Italy before the Los Angeles could be used in the naval games this year. GROUNDHOG EXPECTS 6 WEEKS OF WINTER Prognosticator Almost Too Blinded by Sun to See Shadow. If the 1931 edition of the Groundhog family didn’t get a good glimpse of his shadow today it’s because he is blind. Consequently, furnace operators throughout the state, might as well get ready for six weeks more shoveling because when the furry animal sees his shadow, tradition says, he ducks again into his hole while winter howls again. However, the weather forecast today did not indicate the elements will co-operate immediately with the groundhog’s idea. Temperatures tonight are to range in the thirties and only a slight drop is forecast in the northern part of the state. Sunshine was glaring over Indian* today. BANK OFFICIAL IS HELD Arrested for Failure to Testify on Gambling With Borrowed Cash.

and that’s our perspective of life. While he’s out seeing his shadow, I can see no shadow. “Sure, the photo shows I have a shadow. That’s what I get for being so near the state police. But believe you me, my glass eyes tell me winter’s end will come when I’ve figured out what Mussolini meant by, ‘I consider closed the incident.’ I can say no more for fear of court-martial.” he concluded.

All for Love Swedish Prince Gives Up His Title, Future Throne to Wed Commoner.

By United Press STOCKHOLM, Feb. 2.—Prince Gustave Lennart, grandson of the king, today voluntarily surrendered his title and right of succession for love of the daughter of a commoner. An official communique, issued shortly after the prince had announced his engagement to Miss Karin Nissvandt, said King Gustav refused to approve the marriage. Prince Lennart expressed his willingnes to assume all the consequences of his forthcoming marriage to the daughter of a rich Swedish industralist. He will lose any change of ever succeeding to the throne. He will give up his princely title and his inheritance from the estates of the late queen. Instead of Prince Lennart, he will become plain Lennart Wilhelmsson. a ft ft THE outward appearances of kingly disapproval, however, were understood to be more due to necessary formality than to actual opposition of King Gustav to the marriage. It was said the king, after a long conference Sunday with the father of the prince, was willing to permit the young couple to go abroad and be married, later receiving the “silent approval” of the crown. The communique indicated that Lennart probably later will be granted the title of count. Prince Lennart, son of Prince Wilhelm and Grand Duchess Marie of Russia, whose marriage was dissolved, met his fiancee about six years ago when he was 15 and she was 13. tt u n HER life had been uneventful in recent years when the prince’s interest in her became widely known. Recently she had become a familiar figure throughout the nation because of their romance, but she had fared well under the publicity. She is unpresuming and attractive, having been reared in, the usual manner of wealthy families in Sweden. The wedding probably will take place early next summer, whereafter they will live in Lennart’s castle on the Isle of Mainau in Lake Constance, southern Germany. U. S.

That was the last straw. The Lineberrys wanted her. The firemen at No. 5 station were agreeable. Brownie had wandered into their station a year ago, she was a good fire-dog and knew her sirens, but they reasoned the Lineberrys have three children, and what’s a dog without children?

COURT HEARS PLEA TO FREE ALBERT FALL Appeal Hearing May Tell Ex-Official If He Is to Go to Jail. CONVICTED MAN ABSENT Former Interior Secretary Still III; at Ranch in New Mexico. By Times Special WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-Frank J. Hogan, attorney for Albert B. Fall, today pleaded with the appellate court of thq District of Columbia to overturn the verdict and the judgment of the court in Fall’s conviction of accepting a SIOO,OOO bribe from Edward L. Doheny, Los Angeles oil man, In connection with the leasing to Doheny of the Elk Hills oil field in California. The fragile old man. wheeled into court when he was being tried a year and three months ago, was rot present. His illness has continued and he is living on the Tres Ritos ranch in New Mexico which has played such a large part in all the oil trials. Fall’s appeal has been postponed twice because of vacancies on the appellate court here. If the court overturns the guilty verdict against him, his case will be ended, and with it all the oil cases. Further Appeal Likely If the court sustains the verdict, the supreme court will be asked to pass upon the case, and Fall will not know for perhaps another year whether he must go to jail or not. Hogan, who argued Fall’s appeal, was in charge of his defense and also that of Edward L. Doheny, tried and acquitted for giving the bribe Fall was convicted for taking. Hogan asked for a reversal of the verdict on four grounds. That the secretary of navy, not the secretary of interior was responsible for leasing the naval oil reserves, and that Fall, therefore, could not have accepted a bribe for leasing Elk Hills to Doheny. That Fall’s acquittal on a conspiracy charge involving the same transaction as .that on which the bribery charge was based barred the government from trying him a second time. That Justice Hitz erred in admitting evidence of Fall’s Liberty bond transactions with Harry Sinclair and his lease to him of Teapot Dome oil reserve. That Hitz erred in his instructions to the jury, particularly in advising them that they might make a recommendation for mercy if they returned a verdict of guilty. Pomerene to Reply. Former Senator Atlee Pomerene will reply for the government to these contentions and will argue that the Teapot Dome lease to Sinclair was admissable as part of the general leasing of naval reserves of which Elk Hills also was a part. Since the Fall trial, Hitz has been made a member of the district appellate court, and Owen J. Roberts, associated with Pomerene in trial of all the oil cases, has been made a member of the United States supreme court. Neither will participate in consideration of the Fall case when it is before their respective courts. SHOCK FATAL TCTWIFE Succumbs to Heart Attack 8 Hours After Husband's Death.

Hunger Kills 1,000 Daily, Senate Told Caraway of Arkansas Makes Bitter Attack on Hoover and Head of Red Cross for Refusing $25,000,000 Relief Fund. BY THOMAS L. STOKES United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Feb. 2. —A thousand persons a day are dying of starvation in this country, Senator Thaddeus H. Caraway (Dem., Ark.) asserted in an address in the senate today. Caraway made a bitter attack on Republican leaders who are standing firmly against the Democratic program for relief of hunger and misery among the unemployed and drought-stricken. “Every day we wait,” Caraway said, “1,000 people die of starvation. “Somebody is dooming great American people to a premature death. I’d like to know who are the ones playing politics at this time.

With the seeming desire to end matters quickly, Richard Guiry, 4916 Caroline avenue, slayer of his daughter, Miss Isabelle Guiry, is to plead guilty this afternoon in criminal court to a first degree murder charge and accept life imprisonment. Guiry, a doorman at a downtown store, killed his daughter in the yard of his home last fall. Guiry attempted suicide following the slaying. The agreement to accept a life sentence was reached between Prosecutor Herbert Wilson and Guiry’s attorney, Leo M. Rappaport, when Guiry was arraigned today. Guiry desired to plead guilty at the arraignment, but Judge Frank P. Baker set this afternoon for hearing the plea.

BURNING SHIP SINKS Blazing Vessel Disappears Off West Coast. By United Press EUREKA, Cal., Feb. 2.—Latest reports to reach here from the shore : near Trinidad Head established the | possibility that a burning ship,; sighted off the coast twenty-five ■ miles north of here early today, had ; sunk. Residents of the town of Aba- I lone Beach telephoned to say that 1 they had sighted the blaze, watched i it enlarge, then disappear. Coast guard officers at San Francisco said that, according to radio advices, the ship was a steam schooner carrying a lumber cargo. There was the possibility the blaze had been brought under control and j the ship turned back on her course, but the surmise seemed remote. Were the fire of the proportions it seemed to watchers on shore, it seemed unlikly that no mesasges of distress would have been broadcast. There was the possibility, however, that the ship was smaller than it seemed from the shore and not equipped with radio.

“The millions of people who contribute to the Red Cross and the millions who are the beneficiaries of its kindness have a right to know who is the instigator of this resolution to refuse to accept the $25,000,000. “Whose voice is it? Chairman Payne could tell us.” Caraway questioned the sincerity of President Hoover, house majoritv leader Tilson and chairman Snell of the house rules committee. He said he wanted to ask them and Chairman John Barton Payne a series of questions. He cited votes of Tilson, Speaker Longworth, Chairman Fess of the Republican national committee and Snell to give the Red Cross S2O- - in 1919 to feed “drought sufferers” in Europe. Cites Twelve Years Ago Views “There is one difference,” Caraway said, “that $20,000,000 in 1919 was for foreigners and this $25,000.000 is to feed American citizens.” He said Mr. Hooyer had asked for the appropriation in 1910. Caraway read from the hearings of twelve years ago to show that the $20,000,000 was to relieve drought conditions. He quoted Mr. Hoover as having told a house committee at that time that 15,000,000 People were hungry in the Volga valley and that “we are making a distinction between an act of man and an act of God.” Remarking that Tilsons brother had received appointment as a federal judge. Caraway continued that yet he "stands on his principles and starves women and children in twenty-one states.” “A lot he cares.” Caraway said, “He has feathered his own nest already.” He Asks Some Questions Having shown President Hoover and the present house leaders had supported an appropriation of S2O- - for the Red Cross in 1919, Caraway said he wanted to ask some questions. They were as follows: Mr. Hoover—Mr. Hoover, you said on Nov. 1, that no deserving person in this country should be hungry or cold. You held up this $25.000,000 appropriation. Now, will you tell us whether you are playing with human misery or whether these people are not deserving? Tilson—l want him to tell us the truth. He was not telling the truth both times. One of these statements was not the truth and he knew it. Snell—Could he be right both times? “Any Party’s Candidate Payne—l want John Barton Payne to tell us the origin of the resolution to decline a federal contribution. Who wrote it? Who asked its promulgation? Caraway said at the time of the 1919 appropriation Mr. Hoover was seeking the presidency. Herbert Clark Hoover,” he continued, “was willing to be any party’s man when he was a candidate for President.” Emphasizing Mr. Hoover's statement of November that all deserving citizens should not suffer, Caraway demanded to know whether the drought-stricken farmers were not deserving.
