BILL WOULD BAR
TAX EXEMP T|0N
ON SECURITIES
Resolution Is introduced
Proposing an Amendment
to the Constitution; Is.
Holly Debated

Washington, Dec. 19.-After a
sharp preliminary skirmish, the
house took up today q resolution
proposing the amendment to the
constitution under which issuance
taX-eXempt securities by the fed
eral government and the states
would be prohibited.
Backed by the endorsement Of
President Harding and the treas
ufy, the proposal was the center of
q hard fight, in which many re-
publicans opposed it. Passage of
the measure, offered by Represen-
tative Green of Iowa. ranking re-
publican of the ways and means
committee which reported il, will
require a two-thirds vote Of the
house. Opponents claimed tonight
IL would be defeated, although
leaders who caused it to be
brought up, insisted it would go
through. -Four hours of general
debate, allotted under special
rule, giving the measure right of
way, has not been concluded on
adjournment tonight.
Chairman Fordney Of the ways
and means committee, Mr.. Green
and Representative Mills. republl-
can, of New York, also of the
committee, urged passage Of the
measure, while Representative
Garner of Texas. ranking democrat
of the ways and means committee,
directed the fight against passage.
Throughout the debate the ques-
tion continually bobbed un that
the proposal would invade the
rights of the states to control their
own credit.
Mr.. Fordney supported the res
oiution because, he said, he wanted
the states to. have the right to pass
on the question. He said he had
doubts of the wisdom of purpose
sought by the amendment.
Issuance OF tax-eXempt securi-
ties is unsound. whether we look
at 1t from the fiscal, economic or
social standpoint" said Represen
tative Mills. From the economic
standpoint. he said, they were "in-

EFFORT To LAY
ASIDE THE SHIP
NE ASSURE FAILS
No Vote Is Obtained on
Norris Motion to SheIve
1t in Favor of the Farm
Financing Proposal

Washington, Dec. 19.--Efforts to
bring about % vote on the motion
of Senator Norris, republican of
Nebraska, to lay aside the admin
istration shipping bill in favor of
the Nebraska senator's agriCultur-
al financing measure, today failed
in the senate and the session end
ed with the Norris motion more
firmly than ever imbedded as the
key log to the legislative jam.
Senator zones. republican, of
Washington, in charge of the ship
ping bill supported by adminisua-
tive leaders, proposed, as he did
yesterday, that time be set for
vote through unanimous consent,
and while Senator Norris indicat-
ed his assent to the proposal, OBJ
lection was raised by senators
numbered among the forces sup
porting the Norris motion. Sena-
tor Jones thereupon abandoned
further effort to reach vote dur
ing the day and the remainder of
the session was given over to a dis
cussion of agricultural legislation
by Senator Smith, democrat, OF
South Carolina, and to an attack
on the federal reserve board by
Senator Heflin, democrat, OF Ala
bama.
When a vote might be obtained
and the shipping bill subjected to
its first test was a question tonight
which leaders could not definitely
answer. Senator Norris left the
senate chamber at the end of the
days session with the declaration
that a vote might come tomorrow,
but other senators supporting the
move to lay aside the shipping bill,
said they did not desire to hasten
the vote because delay would work
to their advantage in the fight
against the shipping legislation.
Meanwhile the banking and cur
rency committee continue to work
on rural credits legislation and its
chairman, Senator Mclean, repub-
lican, of Connecticut, urged the
senate not to take up the Norris
financing bill but 10 await the
credits legislation, which it hopes
to report in a week. Several DEM
ocratic senators, however, an
nounced they would vote TO take
up the Norris bill as it would af-
ford an opportunity for discussion

delay and insisted that the matter
be put to q vote.
Commissioner Hughes again
took up the discussion. He said
that he agreed that Judge Hanna
was q good man but that he did not
feel that nomlna 1sons mad been
presented entirely in accord with
customary procedure. He said
that he felt more than one name
should be submitted so as to per-
nit the commissioners to vote a
preference rather than being either
directly in favor or against one
man.
Demands Action on Motion
Commissioner Tingley continued
in his original attitude. He said
that there was u motion before the
house and he emphatically de-
manded that the motion DO acted
upon. Commissioner Hughes then
asked for u moment to telephone
to Commissioner We'll and learn II
he was not coming Immediately,
He rose and left the room without
an objection being offered.
Commissioner Hughes returned
to the meeting a few minutes lat
er. He was accompanied by Com
missioner We'll on his return.
The discussion was again OPEN
ed. Commissioner We'll said that
he felt as Hughes and would like
to have more than one name sub

DAUCHERTY CASE
NEARING AN END
IS DICAT|0N
Proceedings Before the
House Committee May Go
No Further; Only a Brief
Session Held Tuesday

Washington Dec. 19.--Proceed-
ings before the house judiciary
committee in connection with the
impeachment brought against At
torney General Daugherty by Rep
resentative Keller of Minnesota,
appeared TO be nearing an end. In
fact, it was indicated that the
scope of future hearings would de-
pend to a large measure upon the
nature of information to be laid
before the committee by Repre-
sentative Woodruff. republican Of
Michigan. after his examination
of documents at the department of
justice.
After q brief public session to-
day. at which no additional evil
dence was received, the commit
tee decided in executive meeting,
to hear Mr.. Woodruff tomorrow.
Keller Withdraws
Mr.. Keller having withdrawn
from the prosecution of his
charges, the com~-'ttee in proceed
ing with the hearing on its own in
itiative. had before it today Mr..
Woodruff and Representative
Johnson, republican of South Da-
kota.
Both emphasized that they had
had no part In the drafting of the
Keller charges and that they were
appearing solely in response to an
invitation from Chairman Vol
stead.
Declaring he had been dragged"
into the hearing, Representative
johnson said the charges he had
made in the house relating to al
legged war frauds, had been direct
ed solely at the war department.
If the committee wanted to 20 into
these charges, he was prepared TO
give the names of witnesses to sup
port them. he continued. adding
that there We're officers in the de-
partment who should be court
martialed. instead OF promoted"
As to the department Of justice
action regarding war fraud cases,
Mr.. Johnson said In his judgment
Mr.. Daugherty had proceeded with
reasonable promptness in bringing
suits considering that he had had
to reorganize the department after
he came into office and had TO
have great masses of information
relative to the alleged frauds ex-
amined before any move could be
made.
Suits Have Been Brought
Representative Woodruff also
told the committee that since he
made his charges in the house last
April of a failure by Mr.. Daughefty
to prosecute war fraud cases, suits
had been brought in six Of the
eight or niue instances he had
cited, and that necessarily this had
changed the situation materially.
He added that it was not his pur-
pose to embarrass the attorney
general in the conduct OF the court
proceedings and that his opinion
was that these cases should not be
inquired into at this time.
Asking that he and his counsel,
II. l.. Seattle, a<former attorney
in the justice depart
ment, be permitted to examine the
document in the Wright Martin
case" Mr.. Woodruff said that
whether he could present charges
that would form the basis for i'm
parchment proceedings within the
scope of the Keller specifications
would depend upon what these
documents disclosed.
Assistant Attorney General Sey-
mour Immediately added that the
documents would be made avail
able TO Mr.. Woodruff and his at
tornev.

DENVER BANDITS
STOLE 100000
IN BOLD HOLDUP

Been Found; Police Are
Spurr6d ON the Offer of a
Reward TotaIing $4,000

Denver, Dec. 19.-Denver, state
and federal authorities tonight,
after a day and a night spent in
searching for the masked bandits
who yesterday morning shot ana
killed Charles r.. Linton, stole q
consignment Of 100000 from fed
eral reserve guards in one Of tho
most daring and sensational day
light holdups ever staged in tho
west, were without tangible clews
as to the identity of the bandits.
Police, spurred on by the Of
fertng of a reward Of $4,000 for
the bandits dead or alive, the city
and county of Denver and by an
additional reward aggregating $5,-
600 offered by the Kansas City fed.
eral reserve bank, admitted that
although they had many clews that
promised possibilities, they were
still far from the solution Of the
holdup, Detectives and patrolmen
were dispatched throughout the
city today in investigating the num-
erous clews that have come to the
attention Of the police.
Watch a ROoning House
Tonight q squad of 4 detectives
are engaged in watching a rooming
house in the immediate vicinity of
the government mint, where ear
ller in the day, a ear, evidently left
in the street by the bandits to be
used in case Of accident to their
own machine during the holdup,
was discovered through iuforma-
ton furnished by a woman. The
car, an investigation showed, had
been stolen Sunday night and was
equipped with u license tag stolen
more than two weeks ago from tho
car of the deputy county clerk Of
jefferson county at Golden.

street by three man, about an hour
preceding the holdup and subse-
queHt gun fight on the front steps
of the main entrance of the mint
Investigation today showed that
the gasoline tank had been well
filled.
Continued questioning OF eye
witnesses and other persons
throughout the day by Chief II. Il.
Williams and Captain of Detectives
Washington Rinker failed to shed
any additional light on the identity
of the men responsible for the rob
berry.
Clews Being Run Down
That the robbery was accom-
plished by Denver bandits and not
by outside big highwaymen, is the
belief of Chief Of Police Williams
and the search for them is being
conducted with that theory in
mind. although every clew or bit
of information that appears to be
worthy of consideration, regarding
the escape of the bandits from
Denver aftel the holdup, is being
run down, declared Chief Williams.
Roads leading into the noun
tains were thoroughly policed to-
day by details Of policemen in an
effort to find trace Of the escaped
men but all searching parties re-
ported TO headquarters that their
trips had been fruitless.
