Convened nj. Noon

Washington, Sept. 21-Congress is
to reconvene at noon today after a
recess which began August "a after
a gentlemans agreement in the house.
however, to begin Immediately a Sc
ries of three day recesses until Octo~
Der A when the senate goes ahead at
full speed on tax revision, the rati
fication of peace treaties with Ger
many, Austria and Hungary and with
a number of other important meas
ures, including the anti-beer, railroad
debt funding; allied debt refunding
and Panama canal tolls bills.
Presentation to the senate of the
peace treaties and possibly of the
revenue bill was expected to be the
principal events today although there
was a possibility that only a perfume
tory session would be held and busi-
ness put over until tomorrow. The
tax measure was to be reported out by
: the finance committee and the peace
treaties were to be transmitted with
brief note by President Harding.
Indications were that both the
revenue bill and the peace treaties
might be considered virtually stimuli
taneously when taken up. Speedy pro-
gress is expected with the former but
a hard fight is said to be in prospect
against the treaties by Senator Borah,
Of Idaho, and a few other Republicans
and some Democrats, because of their
opposition to what they consider
European entanglements.
Because of the enforced absence,
beginning in November, of Senator
. Lodge. as member of the armament
conference, it is expected that actual
leadership may devolve during that
period, on the Republican whip in the
senate. Senator Curtis, of Kansas,
vice chairman of the Republican con-
ference and party whip, it has been
indicated. may be elected president
pro tempore of the senate in case Sem
ator Cummings, who now holds that
office, should desire to relinquish ii
because of ill health. In such an
event it is expected that Senator Wat
son, Of Indiana, will succeed Mr.. Cur.
tbs, as Republican whip.

BLOODY CLUB AND
FINGER PRINTS
CLUES TO MURDER
Three Members of Family Dead
and One Injured In Brutal
Tragedy, Dowagiac, Mich.

Eowagiac, Mich, Sept. PA
blood-stained club, nail studded and
bloody finger print were the clues
today by which local authorities hoped
to clear up the murder of three per
sons and the serious injury of anoth-
er. a child, in their home here.
VIM. Monroe, his wife and their IT
year-od daughter, Neva, were found
beaten to death with the club In
the same room was found Ardith Mon
roe, 10 year old daughter, who had
been beaten on the head until uncon-
scious. The little girl was made blind
by the blows. Although her recovery
is said to be doubtful, officers hope
she may be revived sufficiently to tell
the story of the attack
The tragedy was discovered yester-
day when Ardith's chum, Grace Nc
Kee, entered the home after hearing
Ardith moan. She found her play
mate beside a bed in which lay the
body of her sister. In another bed
lay the bodies of the parents. A club
into which nails had been driven was
standing against the wall. On the
wall nearby was bloody finger print
heads of the victims almost beyond
recognition. The interior of the home
indicated no struggle had taken place
and the bed clothing was not dis
arranged, leading officers to believe
the three had been killed as they
slept
Neighbors asserted the crime prob
ably took place Saturday night as
members of the Monroe family were
last seen at that time. 1t is believed
that Ardith lay wounded on the floor
nearly 60 hours before being discov-
cred.
Authorities so far have been I'M
able to establish a motive for the
crime, as the home was not robbed
Officers believe it was the act of an
insane person. Two inmates of the
state hospital at kalamazoo, near here.
escaped week ago and officers are
searching for them, although hospital
authorities declared neither of the
men was of the criminal type.

Wet minister by Earl Curzon. secre-

yesterday, seemed to have many fea-

Soviet Russia was accused of hav-

into eastern Afghanistan for the pur-
pose OF getting into touch with dis
orderly elements in India and with
preventing a settlement of pending
disputes between the Turkish nation

The Soviet government was asked
for assurances that these activities
would cease and ii was minated that
the commercial agreement between
this country and Russia would be i'm
periled by continued hostile machina-

Washington, Sept. 21.-The 1921
tax revision bill, regarded by Repub-

the most important pieces of legisla-

Senator LaFollette also has stated
his opposition to these particular fea-

stand and some Republican senator's
in the agricultural block also are ex-
pected to be against them.
