TWENTY MILLION
FOR RUSSIAN RELIEF

Washington, Dec. 20.-The senate
hate today passed the house bill ap-
propriating $20,OOO,OOO for the relief
of the starving and distressed in Rus
sia, with two amendments,jone appro-
oriating S50O,00O to be used for the
disqualification of former Ser ice mcn
in Arizona, and the other setting
aside 100000 for the useibf the gov
ernment in relieving unemployment.
The United States government can
not escape some responsibility for
present conditions in RUSSIA, Sena-
tor Borah (Republican) ok Idaho de-
clared during the discussion on the
measure. He urged a change in the
attitude of the American government
toward Russia, adding that, in his
opinion, "the de facto government, as
such, ought to be recognized"
The present government in Russia,
the senator said, had stood four years
and had demonstrated that it could
stand against the situation.
"And / regard Lenin," he continued,
"as one of the two or three great
intellects uncovered by the war.
may say, too, that the government
there is better than the Gears gov
crnment. 1t has potentialities and
possibilities"
With respect to responsibilities
which he said this country bore, Mr..
Borah asserted that the government
nived" against Russia at times when
she most needed FRIEND. He said
that the allies had used an "indefensi-
BE, cruel, brutal and uncomfortable pol
icy" towards Russia after the armis-
tice and that France had further ag-
gravated conditions by sending mill
tary expeditions into Russia to cha
rass them" 's,s
In the course of the debate Senator
Wadsworth (Republicanl of New
York declared that he did mot propose
to let the senate continue to fool
the farmer" His statement followed
aRepuBlican5 t' of Minnesota t0t that Ne'tHe tHe
bill would not only permit absorption
of some of the grain now held
throughout the country but would
open trade channels with Russia.
"Such talk" Mr.. Wads sworth said,
"is misleading to the farmer. 1t may
make him think that the purchase Of
the grain will enhance prices of his
products. That's not true, its falla-
cious in every respect, the move is
not economic. 1t Is purely charita-
BILE, and want the coantry to know
it." -
The question of the ,cohstitutional-
ity Of the measure was injected by
Senator'S Dial of South, Carolina, and
Watson of Georgia, :Denaocrats, who
claimed that the congress was turn
ing the government into Gan interna-
tional aims house." Ard "a world

Mr.. Dial sought, however, to amend
the measure to appropriate $l0,OO0,-
600 instead of $20,00O.O0O but the
amendment was rejected.

BILL GOES OVER

Washington, Dec. 20.-An agree
mcnt 70 postpone consideration of
the Dyer anti-lynching bill until sf-
ter the Christmas recess was report
ed late today by house leaders after
several hours of Intellectual efforts to
maintain quorum.
Opponents of the measure blocked
efforts to begin debate by an effect
I'VE tllbuster. For several hours
business was suspended through lack
of 4 quorum.
Under resolution adopted last
night after spirited fight, the bill
had right of way with the under
standing that it was not to be press
ed to final vote before congress sus-
pended activities for the holidays.
When Chairman Volstead of the ju-
dietary committee, which favorably
reported the bill, attempted today to
call it up, Representative Garrett, of
tennessee, Democratic leader, forced
enc roll call after another, each tax
ing up nearly half an hours time.
When roll call finally showed less
than half OF the house membership
present, Mr.. Garrett made a point of
order that quorum was not present
and Speaker Gillett instructed the
sergeant t-at-armS to round up absent
members.
Declaring that less than half doz-
en- Democrats were on the floor the
speaker charged they were attempt
ng to obstruct the bill.
Ten deputies attempted to locate
absentecs, 30 of whom were needed
ON the floor before the house could
transact business. After two hour
ticup with little prospects that alb
sent Democrats would appear to pro-
vide quorum, Representative Mon
dell. Republican leader, agreed, in
conference with Mr.. Garrett, to delay
the beginning of debate of the Dyer
proposal until after the recess.
With a compromise agreed to
enough Democrats trailed back into
the house chamber to furnish a quo
lum when the anti-lynching bill was
"cady by the clerk and the house ad-
iourned to take up variety of other
Legislation until the recess begins.

VIRGINIA JURY
FREES EASTLAKE

Montross, Va, Dec. 2O.-Roger D.
Eastlake, navy petty officer, chargeC
with the murder Of his wife, Marga-
ret Eastlake, ut their home at Colo.
NAL Beach, Va, on September 80,
last, was this afternoon found not
guilty, by a jury in Westmoreland
county circuit court here. The ver-
dict was returned at 500 D. m., 81
minutes after the jury was given the
case
When the words mot guilty" were
pronounced, Eastlake smiled. His
mother, Mrs. S. NJ. Eastlake, and his
sister, Mrs. Mable Chambers, who
had occupied seats directly behind the
defendant, rushed to his side and
showered him with kisses. w. W.
Butzner chief counsel for the de-
Tense, thanked the court and Judge
Chinn discharged the jury.
81 felt certain those 10 men would
not believe that I murdered my wife"
said Eastlakc. 'T will ask to be
transferred to another naval station
md start life anew"
Eastlake is said to be still petty
officer in good standing in the navy
and under consideration of the rules
it is understood to be oblig ID to re-
nOrt immediately for duty at the
was when his wife met her death, ac-
"ordinc to the testimony he gave at
his trial. Lieut.. Comndr. j. II. Green
East'ake's superior officer, was in
court and, at the request Of defense
attornevs, granted Eastlakn leave
If absence for three days. East

1ccompanied by his mothcr, sister
brother and cousin
Efforts will be made tomorrow to
have his children brought to him
from Cantonsville, Md.
Attorney Butzner plainly display
ed his elation at the verdict. 1T was
wholly question of the prosecution
presenting the legal proof of my eli
ent's guilt" he said, "and this we felt
was impossible as he was Innocent"
Commonwealth Attorney Mayo,
who conducted the prosecution said,
Il think | proved that Eastlake was
present on the morning of the crime
and feel that justice has been cheat
ed. | felt confident verdict of sec
ond degree murder would be render
ed and that would have suificed the
ends of justice. Of course | bow to
the DECISION of the jury and will give
my best efforts to convict Nj SIS Knox
when she comes sup for trial in Feb
ruary."
For one hour and 55 minutes Com
monwealth Attorney Mayo flayed
Eastlake in his arguments to the
Jury. He referred to the petty Off
Ger as the "vilest of characterN" and
said "as guilty as Miss Knox un-
doubtedly was" that compared with
Eastlake. she seemed "like lily Of
the valley" She at least played fair
in every transaction she had with
his miserable creature"
Miss Knox, the Baltimore nurse,
charged jointly with Eastlake for the
murder, will be placed on trial Feb
ruary 3.

OF
SMITH POSTPONED

Washington, Dec. 20.-While the
postponement of vote on the Smith
amendment requiring the president to
NIL the first vacancy on the federal
reserve board by the appointment of
farmer, until January II, was re-
garded as a victory for the conserva-
tive element in the senate, Senator
Smith of South Carolina expressed
opinion that the amendment would
pass the senate by 2 to / vote. The
amendment is of nationwide interest
because it was drawn and supported
by coterie of Southern senators who
desire to eliminate w. p. G.. Harding
as member of the board. His term
kill expire in 1923. If the amend
ment prevails he can not be reap
pointed. When doubt was expressed
as to the ability of the bill to weather
opposition in hte house even were it
to pass the senate, Senator Smith de-
clared: ut will go through with con-
summate ease. Next year is an cleo
tion year. That fact prompted me
to initiate the fight at the present
time, There will be very few men
who will vote against measure Civ
ing farmer opportunity to suggest
to the board the financial accommoda-
tions required by the agricultural
class"
Should the Smith amendment be
enacted, the understanding today is
that the president would veto it. He
holds, it is reported, that it would be
just as wise to make a farmer a
member of the supreme court as
member of a board, the requirements
of which is practical banking.

Radio Telephone
Installed on Coast
Guard Motor Boat

Through The use of radio apparatus
demonstrated by the radio section of
the Bureau of Standards of the De-
partment Cf Commerce, the life boats
Of the Coast Guard will be able in
the future to talk to land stations of
the Coast Guard even when out at
sea in heavy storm" n fog.
During the recent annual meeting
Of Coast Guard officials at Atlantic
surf boats that are used for rescue
work was sent five miles off shore and
it was demonstrated that men in the
boat could easily converse back and
forth with the shore station over the
radio telephone which had been in
stalled in the boat for the occasion by
Bureau Of Standards engineers. Not
only could the men on shore hear the
speaker over the telephone but also
they could hear the boats whistle and
an airp!ane flying over the boat. From
the Coast Guard boat house at At
lantc City, where the land radio-tele.
phone station had been installed, the
voice of the operator on the surf boat
five miles out at rea was relayed over
a regular wire telephone to the Coast
Guard station mile away, by SIM
ply holding the receiver of the radio
telephone to the wire telephone trans
|
mittcr
The novel feature of this installa-
. tiOn was the use of q special type of
coil antcnna instead of the ordinary
elevated antenna. The type of an
| ,cnna ordinarily used on a boat, con-
sisting of elevated wires attached to
mastS, can not be used on a surf boat
! Because of the severe weather condi-
! tions to which the boat is exposed,
! and also because all space above the
/ deck must be kept clear for the
! throwing of lines.
The antcnna used was a loop an
tenna, consisting of single wire run
along the guard on the side of the
boat connected at each end of the
! iron keel. The keel thus formed part
Of the antenna. This is similar to
! the Singlc-turn loop antenna that was
developed by members of the staff of
the Bureau OF Standards during the
war for use on our Navy's subma-
rinCs. 1t is expected that the radio
apparatus on the life-saving boats
can be housed in such way as to
continue TO operate even when the
vessel is shipping water badly in
heavy seas. la preliminary expert
mcnts, before the radio apparatus was
installed on the motor boat for the
demonstration, it was rugged on q
motor truck at the Bureau of Stand
lards at Washington. AS the truck
was driven over the country, the de-
vice was tested.
1t is expected that the radio tele-
phone installation on the life boats
will save many hours of hardship for
members of the Coast Guard and will
aid in the saving of life as well. Of
ten life boat will go out to ship
; in distress and patrol the seas in
heavy weather all night in search o1
crew and passengers who have taken
to boats, only to return to shore ir
the morning to find that the ship.
wrecked sailors had reached land In
safety shortly after the wreck. Con
slant communication between Coas
| Guard boat and station will eliminat,
, such waste work and danger. Thi!
, will also make it possible for tn,
shore station to direct surf boa
, which is searching for survivors.
