Senate Votes Down ‘Gag ’ Rule, Then Ends Filibuster by Pact to Limit Debate One Hour of Argument to Be Permitted Each Member on Glass Banking Reform Measure: Cloture Move Is Lost by Vote of 58 to 30. B\J I nilril Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.—The senate voluntarily ended its own filibuster today by accepting an agreement to limit debate on the Glass bank reform bill. The limitation agreement was offered by Senator William Borah (Rep., Idaho). It binds the senate to operate on a schedule limiting all senators to one hour’s debate on the bill and half an hour on any amendment.

This action was taken after the senate failed to stifle ‘ Kingfish” Long and his cohorts when the cloture rule to limit debate failed of passage. The vote was 58 to 30. The Democratic leadership was unable to obtain the two-thirds support of the senate necessary for passage of the gag rule. Failure of suf-

RUTH JUDD TO CONTINUE TALE Denounces Lumberman as She Tells Story of Killings. By United Press PHOENIX. Ariz., Jan. 19.—Haggard from two days of hysteria on the witness stand, Winnie Ruth Judd was recalled today to pursue her charges that John J. (Happy Jack) Halloran played a “responsible” role in the killings of Agnes Ann Leßoi and Hedvig Samuelson. Tears mingled with bitter words of denunciation of the wealthy lumberman as the convicted woman, testifying at his preliminary hearing on accessory charges, described for the first time how she killed her two friends in a purported quarrel. She is under sentence to hang Feb. 17 on a charge of shooting Mrs. Leßoi. Mrs. Judd lost her composure as she described how she and her two friends quarreled over the affections of the playboy-lumberman. She said they threatened to expose her romance with Halloran to her hus'ban, Dr. William C. Judd, and ..that she in turn threatened to expose them. ’He is responsible for the deaths of three girls and I have only three weeks to live for the deaths of two,” she suddenly cried to one question. "You want to hang me for something Jack Halloran did.” She apparently meant the deaths of the two women and herself. Mrs. Judd insisted Halloran knew all the details of the fight before he helped her pack the bodies in the luggage that was shipped to Los Angeles where she was captured. Previously, she had testified that Halloran advised her to dispose of the bodies in this way. JOE BROWN TO BUY SHARE IN BALL TEAM Partner of Speaker and Keyser in Kansas City.

LESLIE FACES QUIZ ON BILL Measure Passed in 1929 Is Missing: Probe Launched by M’Nutt. Conduct of former Governor Harry G. Leslie and his secretary, L, O. Chasey, in causing a bill passed by the 1929 session of the legislature to disappear is being investigated today by the attorneygeneral’s office upon order of Governor Paul V. McNutt. The bill already has been declared law by Marion superior court and the decisiion is expected to be affirmed soon in the supreme court. It provides for separation of Newton and Jasper circuit courts.

JAPANESE AND CHINESE CLASH IN DEEP SNOW Fight Is Continued Outside Great Wall: Nipponese Trains Halted. RIVAL ARMIES MASSED Smash at Jehol Province Feared Near; Chang Gives Orders. BY H. R. EKINS United Press Staff Correspondent PEIPING, Jan. 19.—Manchoukuo and Japanese troops were concentrated outside the Gieat Wall today while Chinese regulars and irregulars received orders from Marshal Chang Hseuh-Liang to prepare to repel the invaders along the border of Jehol province. Fighting continued outside the wall, despite a h-avy snow which filled passes and covered North China. Japanese artillery failed to dislodge Chinese at Chaoyang, where the Chinese commander reported! he had halted two Japanese armored trains. Chinese officials here demanded the arrest, on grounds of treason, of Chinese militarists commanding Manchoukuo troops. The activity of the Manchoukuo troops, and. the concentration of heavy Japanese forces east of Shanhaikwan indicated that when Japan resumes the drive on Jehol province, the southern route, via Lingyuan, will be chosen. On the north, Japanese columns could move simultaneously into Jehol through Kailu and Chaoyang. Chinese feared that the Japanese advance would be accompanied by disturbances here and at Tientsin, precipitated to draw Chinese troops away from the Great Wall. The Chinese military continued plans to resist the Japanese under orders of Marshal Chang HseuhLiang, young generalissimo of the North China zone, who instructed all Chinese generals in the field to prepare for a bitter struggle. General Wan Fu-Lin, former governor of Keilungkiang province, was named commander in chief of forces in the field. U. S.

HOME EDITION PRICE TWO CENTS Outside Marion County. 3 Cents

Although Governor Paul V. McNutt steadfastly has asserted his opposition to draught beer, “because it is a step toward return of the open saloon,’’ the insurgents are working on the theory that he may accept the local option plan for dripping wet centers. These centers have expressed vehement dissatisfaction with the plan to confine the public sale of beer to a maximum of three pints with meals. Monopoly Feature Assailed The objection to the administration sale plan, the draught beer proponents point out, is not with the three-pint limit, but with the fact that one must purchase a minimum of one pint bottle to get any. Another objection to the administration beer bill concerns what insurgents term monopolistic features. They see the limitation of breweries as a step toward building up what may become a political machine, and believe that their local breweries should be able to compete freely with importers bringing in beer from such centers as Cincinnati, St. Louis, and Milwaukee. With first meeting of the public morals committee set for next Monday at 1:30 in Room 422 of the Statehouse, Martin expects to have the draught beer boom well organized. Support Is Promised Martin said he has been promised support for his amendment from Representatives Pat J. Cain, Edward J. Braun, and Alfred H. Randall (Dems., Ft. Wayne); Charles J. Allardt, Samuel Feiwell, and Aloysius V. Korpal (Dems., South Bend); Jacob J. Reisinger and J. Henry Monnig Jr. iDems., Evansville); John J. Ryan and H. W. Modisett ‘Dems., Terre Haute); John Napier Dyer (Derm, Vincennes); and Fred Galloway 'Dem., Indianapolis). With all the larger city delegations interested in draught beer with scattered members adding their strength, and the Republican minority siding with them, the insurgents might obtain enough strength to block the beer bill, unless their amendment is added. Senate insurgents, led by Senator Harry William <Dem., Ft. Wayne), and Chester A. Perkins (Dem., South Bend), have promised that even if the administration bill passes the house without a draught beer provision, it will have tough sledding in the upper house. Repeal Move Passes Another blow was struck today at prohibition when the house voted 73-18 to memorialize congress to submit repeal of the eighteenth amendment to state conventions.
