HOUSE STAMPEDES
TO AID OF VOLSTEAD
Defeats Resolution to Gust
Dry Law Author From Ju-
dietary Committee.

WASHINGTON, Aug 2i.-The House
swiftly struck from its record to-day a
resolution by Representative Tinkham
(Rep., Mass.) calling upon Chairman
Volstead of the Judiciary Committee to
resign his committee seat because of aid
said to have been given in his last cam
paign in the Seventh Minnesota District
by the Anti-Saloon League of America.
AS read by a clerk during a hubbub
Of laughter the resolution provided that
unless Mr. volstead resigned within
fourteen days from the adoption Of the
resolution his seat on the committee
which framed the prohibition enforce
rnent act should be declared vacant.
On his feet the moment the reading
had been concluded, Representative
Mann (Rep.. Ill.) moved that the pro-
posal be laid on the table. which would
kill it, and the House laid it there with
out shout of approval. Then Repre-
sentative Dyer of Missouri Repub-
lican member OF Mr.. Volstead's commit
tee, offered a motion to expunge the
resolution from the Congressional Rec
ord. and 1t went out by vote of 141
to 3. Two New York Democrats, Cullen
and Carew, and Mr.. Tinkham made up
the opposing trio.
Mr.. Tinkham sat silent. taking no part
in the brief debate preceding the
elimination of his document by which
he sought to have the father Of the Vol
stead law removed from the committee,
which from time to time had been called
upon to tighten it up.
After the furry Mr.. Tinkham gave
out a statement containing what he had
expected to say TO the House and In
which he asserted that since the report
filed with the clerk of the House by
Wayne b. Wheeler for the Anti-Sa loon
League showed expenditure of league
funds In Mr.. volstead's district two
years ago. Mr.. Volstcad ought not to
sit as chairman of committee before
which the organizations counsel ap-
peared for or against legislation.
After adjournment Of the House Mr..
Tinkham issued this statement:
"The House OF Representatives. dom
mated by the Anti-Saloon League. with
an almost unanimous vote to-day stifled
debate upon the merits OF the resolu-
tion calling for the peremptory removal
Of the chairman OF the Judiciary Com
mittee, Andrew J. Volstead. for improper
legislative conduct, but cannot suppress
before the American people the vital
issue raised by the resolution as to
whether the chairman OF n committee Of
Congress properly. honestly and In de-
cency can hold his position when pri-
yatc organization, corporation or indi-
vidual seeking legislation from his COM
mittee either contributes money to him
or pays his bills or expends money for
him in political purposes.
Upon tho decision of the American
people In the immediate future depends
whether or not private organization
participating actively in elections with
legislation in view shall be allowed 10
spend money to subsidize members or
Congress in advance OF their action
upon such legislation

INSANITY YOFEWOMEN
is LAID TO SUSPECT
Polish Laborer Of Shadyside,
N. j., Held for Action of
Grand Jury.
DRUNK, 1T IS CHARGED
Wife of Saloon Keeper Gives
discriminating Evidence
Against Katoske.
DRUNK, IT IS CHARGED

Frank Katoske, Polish iaborer and
until recently boarder in the home OF
Emil Sabo a Bohemian. of Shadyside.
n. j.. was held yesterday for action OF
the Hudson county Grand Jury. Al
though the charge against him Is
clans believe he may have been respon-
sible for the death of Mrs. Katherine
Sabo and for the insanity Of her step
daughter. Mary. 10.
Katoske, 1t is charged, went home
drunk on the night of June Is. and as
he passed by the window Of Mary $
room crashed the glass with his hst.
Although no one actually saw him he
was suspected instantly because OF
threats he was reported TO have mace
previously against the girl.
DIR. A. p. Hasking one Of the county
physicians who committed both women
to the Hudson County Insane Asylum,
expressed the, opinion that the intense
fright engendered in the minds or the
two may have been "the spark that set
off the keg Of gunpowder."
The fact is that Mary was taken to
the insane asylum on June 22 and her
stepmother foour days later, both sur
fering from a violent form OF dementia
praecox. Mrs Sabo died on July ana
the girl Is not likely to recover. DR..
George w. King. superintendent OF the
institute, declares. The older woman,
he said, died through sheer exhaustion
because of her mad rawlings. The girl
will not talk nor recognize either her
father or sister, Pauline, Il. She has
sunk into state Of mental and physi-
cal lethargy.
Katoske, who admits now that he
has a wife and four children in Poland.
denied in the little English he can
speak, that he broke the window or
tried to frighten the family. He as
serted, on the other hand, that Mary
had gone crazy three or four weeks
before the night the window was
crashed in upon her bed. He explained
his leaving the place soon after the
trouble on the ground that he had lost
his old job and found new one near
Bloomfield.
The most discriminating testimony
against the prisoner was given by MI
''Florrie" Korvath. who keeps a saloon
underneath the Sabo home, and by
Pauline. the other stepdaughter.
The saloonkeeper declared she had
the morning after the disturbance.
Pauline swore before the County Re-
corder Alfred C. Miles. that on many
occasions the big blond laborer had
made remarks to both, her and Mary.
and had said that MARY would marry
him some day"
The father OF the victim can speak no
English. Tt has obstructed efforts of
the police to learn why 1t was they did
not report the case and make charges
against Katoskea until after he had left
Sabo's home Tho prisoner fed, leaving
his furniture behind, the day that an
officer reached the place to take Mary
TO the insane asylum.
50 far as the police have been able
to discover Sabo did not so to his board
ers room that night to see If he was
there ard had cuts on his hand. They
cannot find IL Sabo saw him after the
trouble until he was arrested last Tues
day in his home. 100 Glenwood avenue,

Patrolman Shea of the West Tooth
street station came upon little boy
and a. little girl sitting on the West
129th street pier yesterday afternoon.
They attracted his attention because
they looked so tired. and because the
little boy was handing out buns to the
little girl from a paper bag. and she
ate them so fast that her companion
could hardly keep pp with her.
The policeman, talked to them and
found that they were Mortimer Shea,
aged 9. and his sister, Mary. 8, of 81
La Sale street. The children had but
a vague recollection of their adventures,
but they said that they had left their
home forty-eight hours before and had
spent most of the time on the pier. They
had few pennies with them. and Nor
timer bought buns and some candy

FALL AND LASKER
DICKER OYER OIL
Gen. Lord to Settle Whether
Government May Raise Price
of Fuel to Itself.
Special Dispatch 10 TIE NEW YORK HERALD.
New York Herald bureau'

Special Dispatch 70 THE NEW YORK HERALD
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington. ID. O., Aug. "a.
Gen. Herbert Lord. chief of the Bud
get Bureau, is arbitrator in a dispute
between Secretary OF the Interior Fall
and Chairman Lasker OF the Shipping
Board. who fail to agree on whether one
department of the Government should
make profit at the expense OF another,
The first arbiter selected was Presi-
dent Harding. who refused to intervene
between his lieutenant Mr.. Lasker, and
his Secretary of the Interior. He told
the dlsputants to let Gen. Lord act the
part of Daniel come to judgment"
The cause of the dispute is simple
enough. 1t relates to oil, and the specific
question is whether the Shipping Board
should get naval reserve oil at price
stipulated in contract which has ex-
rired.
Secretary Fall has refused 70 make a
rev contract with the Shipping Board
for fuel unless Chairman Lasker is will
ing to pay 20 cents n barrel more than
the Shipping Board was paying under
the old contract.
Mr.. LasKer took tile stand that II was
unreasonable that one branch Of the
Government should seek TO show a profit
at the expense OF another branch. Sec
rotary Fall, however. took the position
that although the oil Of the naval re
serve wells is Government property the
act creating the reserve contemplated
that the navy should realize on the roy
altses from the land Just as any private
business or owners should.
The Shipping Board buys 25o.000 bar
rels a month or 100000 barrels a
year. Secretary Fall demands an in
crease of % cents a barrel. which would
mean an increase Of $4,000 year for
the Governments fleet OF merchantmen.
Nothing further will be done in the
matter until Gen. Lord is heard from.
Inasmuch as he was designated arpiter
by ,he President, 1t is expected that
both parties will abide by his decision
