tspecIal b The Worldl

WASHINGTON. D. G. FEB. r..
Some leaders Of the House are ang
ry opersreports regarding the way in
which the Committee Oh Public
Buildings and Grounds is framing
The omnibus building bill and II is
not unlikely they will take "a hand
before the measure j. reported
The Public Building Committee is
surrounding It's work with the ut
most secrecy and members who are
getting recognition in the bill are
compelled to promise solemnly that
they will not tell ninth the bill has
been completed and brought into the
House, But reports arc out that the
bill is being swelled 10 undue, pro-
portions, owing to the inability Of
the committee to resist the Emporium
tiles OF colleagues who insist that
they mus get a slice OF the pork
Tor their districts.
The onslaught on The committee
is said TO be terrific. and leaders fear
that the bill, If not carefully revised
before being reported, may give rise
to a scandal that will do the party
no good. It is asserted that small
towns with meagre populations and
postal receipts are getting fat allow
auoes for public buildings in viola
ton Of custom.
Another feature displea9 ing to the
House leaders is The threatened fight
between the advocates Of lavish ap
propriations for new public buildings
and those who favor big naval ap.
preparations. This issue will be
fought out at The so-ealled "econo-
my" caucus for Saturday night.
The leaders feel there is no neces-
sity for This locking OF horns and
say the whole squabble could have
been avoided If members We're less
bent on grabbing something for their
own districts regardless Of the econ
omy policy Of the party and its gem
eral welfare.
It is predicted that if the omnibus
building bill is not kept within rea-
sonable bounds in the matter of APP
preparations, il will be net with a
veto. which will not be at all dis
pleasing to leaders disguised with re
ports about the bill.

The Kelly case is that where a
young man in the custody of deputy
sheriff was being transported to the
inebriate asylum at Knoxville and

stead of placing him in the county Jail
for custody the deputy took Kelly
with him to his hotel, where the evi.
dence disclosed liquor bottles were
found next morning Kelly shot the
deputy sheriff and went out on the
street and shot a bar tender who re-
fused him drink. He was convicted
of murder by jury which declared in
separate verdict that he was crazy
at the time. In their appeal his law
yers urged the two verdicts inconsist-
ent in that he could not under the law
be crazy at the time of the act and be
guilty of murder, which includes the
element of generalization and malice,
