DEMOCRATS IN CAUCUS TO IRON OUT SQUABBLES Prepare to Take Over Reins in House When Congress Opens Monday. BY THOMAS L. STOKES t'nltrd Pr rsn Slaff Corrupondfnt WASHINGTON, Dec. s.—Exultant Democrats assembled in party caucus today to lay plans for taking over management of the house of representatives for the first time in thirteen years. There was the spirit of a rally—an electric buoyancy—as Democratic cohorts surged to the meeting in the house chamber where they will begin to rule Monday. New faces, many of them youthful, symbolized the sweeping victory at the polls a year ago. But the atmosphere, as is usual at Democratic gatherings, was not entirely peaceful. The new rulers of the house were to grapple with controversial issues after formally nominating colorful chieftain, John Nance Garner of Texas, as Speaker, and the veteran Henry T. Rainey, Illinois liberal, as floor leader. Chief sources of controversy include: Prohibition Up Early 1. Prohibition. Thrust forward as at no other time in the last eleven years, this issue will be thrown into the caucus in the form of debate over liberalization of house rules. Indorsement of such liberalization, which would permit a vote on prohibition, is assured. The Republicans have adopted a proposal to permit a vote on any bill if ’45 members petition it. The Democrats probably will adopt a similar p\an, although Representative Crisp, (Ga.) rules revision champion, favors 100 He will present a full set of modified rules designed to make the house a more Democratic body. Garner’s Power at Stake 2. One-man rule. This involves the question of whether Garner is to be the sole "boss” of the house, or whether there shall be a nominal division of authority with other leaders. The caucus will consider a proposal for a steering comimttee repreesnting various party interests and geographic sections, to advise the Speaker. A lively fight is expected, followed by defeat, since both Garner and Rainey are opposed. No one doubts in any case that Garner will be the real bass. Jack Favors Persuasion 3. Committee assignments. A proposal will be put forward for a committee of committees, to make assignments. Members now are scrambling for favored posts. But this, too, virtually is certain of defeat, and the power will remain with the ways and means committee’s Democratic members. Rainey is a member of this committee, and Garner will be until he takes the Speakership. Garner believes persuasion is an excellent substitute for the big stick when the majority is slim. Asked now he expected to keep his "boys” in line, he said: “The boys come in here. We talk things over, and that’s that. If the boys have faith in my leadership, that’s all I or anybody else needs.” CONE INVENTOR IS DEAD Circus Man Passes at Age of 72; Ice Cream Girls Gave Him Idea. By United Press ¶ AKRON, O., Dec. 5.—The inventor of the ice cream cone is dead. He was Charles E. Menchez, 72, circus trapeze performer, concessionaire, theater operator and creator of novelties. Menchez suffered a heart attack at his home here. ¶ Menchez had lolled in his concession at the St. Louis world's fair, glancing about idly. Two girls in a nearby ice cream stand wrapped waffles around ice cream and were eating with gusto. ¶ Menchez sprang from his chair with a shout. The ice cream cone virtually was created. He founded the first cone compiny in 1905.

BY BEN STERN GENIAL ELZA ROGERS, Republican state chairman, evidently feeling that he is being neglected, has bowed himself into the limelight again. This time he appears in the role of a man looking for trouble and if that is all he wants he can get an armload from R. Earl Peters, Democratic state chairman, merely for the asking. Anyhow, Elza has decided that it is his duty to sound out the sentiment of the Republican state senators and representatives toward a special session of the legislature. So out was mailed a questionnaire to that effect, and, not to be outdone, Peters has sent a similar “sounder” to Democratic district leaders. Rogers was inspired (if such it could be called) into taking this step through the many letters he has received from Republican “statesmen” discussing the movement for a special session. To escape any blame, Elza sent copies of his questionnaire to members of the G. O. P. state committee, hoping that if any decision is made their attitude, expressed in writing, can be referred to. # n tt Opposed to a special session, himself, Rogers marshals his argument as follows: With each party controlling a house of the general assembly, the Republicans in the senate and the Democrats in the house little can be accomplished. Each party will attempt to obtain credit for itself and friction is sure to ensue. Logically enough, if one party had control of both houses, a program could be agreed upon by leaders and followed through, but under the present setup only disorganization and a waste of the taxpayers’ money can result from a special session, he says. >t a The record of the last session of the general asesmbly shows the | utter futility of attempting to ob- | tain passage of conservative legislation when the leaders in each house

are seeking only to build themselves politically and pay little heed to the public welfare. There can be no doubt that a special session of the general assembly is urgently needed at this time to discuss and arrange methods of changing the tax system through income and other levies, to lift the burden from real property. Public attention and probably that of Rogers, was focused on the situation when members of the Indiana Farm Bureau marched upon the statehouse to present to Governor Harry G. Leslie petitions for a special session, signed by 50,000 citizens. As usual, Leslie was out of his office—this time in Boston, where, ironically enough, he was explaining the wonders of the Indiana tax system. What a laugh!

MARYLAND MOB LYNCHES NEGRO Hangs Wounded Slayer, Then Burns His Body. By United Press ¶ SALISBURY, Md., Dec. 5—A mob late Friday night invaded a local hospital, abducted a wounded Negro, and hanged him in the public square. Then they soaked his body with gasoline and burned it. ¶ The Negro, Mac Williams, earlier in the day shot and killed his employer, Daniel J. Elliott, 67, then shot himself. He was taken to the hospital in a serious condition. ¶ Late Friday night a mob of 4,000 farmers stormed the Peninsula General hospital guarded by deputies and lynched the Negro. ¶ While the main body of the mob menaced the sheriff and his deputies in front of the hospital, six leaders slipped in a side door, took Williams, heavily bandaged, from his bed, and hustled him to the street. ¶ Here he was placed in the center of the crowd and hurried to the courthouse plaza. One of the mob tossed the end of a rope over a tree limb in the yard and the other end was fastened around the Negro’s neck. Eager volunteers hauled him off the ground, where he hung for about twenty minutes. ¶ Then he was cut down and the body carried to the edge of the Negro district. Gasoline was poured over it, and the crowd shouted and

By United Press ¶ DECATUR. Ind., Dec. 5.—Special guards are patrolling the Decatur cemetery today following an unsuccessful attempt of grave robbers to molest the body of Milo Black, Evansville, who was buried last March. The vault was broken open, but the robbers apparently were frightened away before they reached the casket. ¶ It was recalled that when Black’s body was brought here from Evansville, several diamonds and a gold watch were in his wearing apparel. The jewels were removed before the burial. ¶ The grave robbery attempt was the first here in more than fifty years.
