HOUSE PASSES
BILL TO SEND
EUROPE FLOUR
Votes Resolution, 283 to
I II, to Rush Five Million
Barrels to Aid.
FIRST REAL ACTION
Republican Leaders Attack
Proposal as, Unwar-
ranted Expenditure.
FIRST REAL ACTION

The House on Monday passed the
resolution authorizing Julius II.
Barnes, president of the United
States Grain Corporation. to SEND
10000 barrels of -four to the
starving people Of Europe, after
delaying for a month and a half
action to relieve the present condi-
tions in Europe. The vote was 2Ss
to IL.
In the bitter debate preceding the
vote, Representative Claude kitchin,
Of North Carolina, minority leader
charged that the House Steering
Committee was responsible for the
delay In Europe. he said, SO.VOV
people have died of starvation and
hunger and in Armenia probably
$4,000 since the relief was first pro-
posed.
Republicans Assail Measure.
Republican leaders. on the other
hand, assailed the proposal as an
unwarranted expenditure of the
money of the people of this coun-
try. as inadvisable, and not produc-
tive of the relief desired.
Representative Martin B. Madden,
of Illinois, one Of the leading Re-
publicans of the House, attacked
Barnes and Herbert Hoover for
their sponsorship of the measure.
johnson Makes Attack
Representative Albert Johnson, OF
Washington. branded the measure
as wheat trade proposition" The
city of Vienna Communicated all Of
the flour before the fall of the last
government, he said. and the wheat
was used up by men who will not
work" To send more wheat to
them, he urged, woSld not serve to
aid people whose chief fault was
that they did not work.
Speaking of Poland, he pointed
out that the Polish government has
recently purchased a 100000 build
Ing in Washington to house its En-
bassy, and that the Polish Ambas-
sador has just leased a house at
Newport, r. /.
Representative Joseph w. Ford
ney, of Michigan, described condi-
tions in Europe as the most dis
tressing thing" that was ever
brought to his attention.
Green Answers Objections.
Representative William r. Green,
of Iowa, answering the objection
that the legislation was unneces-
sary. because Mr.. Barnes already
had the authority for making the
shipment of flour, said that the spe-
cial authorization of this govern
ment would assure the fulfillment
of Great Britain's promise to fur
nish the shipping facilities to get
the food to Europe.
In spite of the strong opposition
of the Republicans, only one mem
ber of that party voted against the
measure. Those who voted against
the measure were as follows: Demo-
Gratis Bankhead of Alabama.
Blackmon of Alabama, Buchanan of
Texas. Garner of Texas. Johnson OF
Kentucky, Johnson of Mississippi,
Rayburn of Texas. Sisson of Missis-
sippi. Stephens of Mississippi. Thorn
as Of kentucky, and Wilson OF
Louisiana. Republicans-Kraus of
Indiana. Those voting Present were

AIMING FOR CONNECTICUT
 BUILDING AT HOLY CROSS

Connecucuts campaign for Sl00.000 of the million dollar Iumd Tor hcly Cross college opens today CNIondaD. It is the ambition of the leaders in this state. as Bishop Murray said at the banquet here last Thursday evening. to raise so much money that a building erected with Con netcicut funds and named after COnnec- ucut may be one Of the results of the drive for the college. Rev. w. A keefe of this city is state chairman in the drive.
 The Connecticut quota was originally Sl00.000, but it was some time ago de- cided to increase this amount. and at present it looks like a remarkably close race. in which eastern and western Mass achusetts and Connecticut will far exceed the quotas originally set as the goals by the executive committee who planned the campaign. The Hartford district has asked that they be allowed to double the amount that had been set for them, and Bishop AIurrays home city, Waterbury, has set it's goal at 0.000.
 The campaign in New York city. while it will not officially open until November l9. has been thoroughly organized and the results there, as well as in New Jer. sey and the state of New York. have added greatly to the confidence of those in charge of the campaign. These di- visions. augmented by the drives in Mary land, Pennsylvania, the city of Washing ton, and in the middle west. should bring the total very close to the million dollar ! mark
 Rhode Island. New Hampshire. Maine and Vermont are beginning their drives today.

CARPENTER RETURNED RICHER
 nv ooo noo FRANCS


 Paris, Nov. 14-Georges Carpentier, the heavyweight champion of Europe, re- turned from America richer by 100000 francs and with a great respect for the fighting ability of Jack Dempsey, world title holder.
 Carpenter who was never boastful, even before leaving France when he had not yet seen Dempsey, said on his return that Dempsey was considered in Ameri- ca to be a "super-fghter,' but that he would meet him with as much confidence as he did the British fighters. Wells and Beckett, whom he knocked out
 ''The newspapers, said Carpenter. reported Dempsey as saying he would lead me to the slaughter like an OK. I don't believe it. I have met Dempsey, who is really a very amiable gentleman. even had one match with him winch l won-but that was at gcif. Dempsey's kind thought in sending me a wireless message when off Nantucket wishing us Godspeed was very gentlemanly."
 The boastful remark attributed to Car pentier's manager, Descamps, at the Jer- sey City ball park. that Ca7pentier would beat the champion in two rounds, has now been modified to such ex1-es- sions as: "The difference in weight of 14 pounds will be a great handicap anT The man who lands the first blow vii, win"
 Descamps appeared proud of the con- l cession he succeeded in obtaining from the promoters-the privilege of making Carpenters forfeit deposit in scrip of the new French loan. which will be placed in J. ?. Morgan and Company S 1 bank this week bearing six per cent in- terest
