STRIKE OF PILOTS ON MISSISSIPPI WARRIOR
 TEMP P0RARILY ENDED

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Jan. so.-Federal barge line pilots of the St. Louis district who recently went on strike to enforce demands for wage in- crease. have returned to work, oend- ing a conference with Theodore Brent, general manager, and other officials of the Mississippi- Warrior service of the Federal line, accord ing to an announcement today by Captain c. E. Patton, superintendent of transportation of the line.
 Captain Patton stated that only four of the 16 men now in active service as pilots of barge line boats quit work. These men, attached to boats at Cairo. have agreed to re- turn to work pending a conference, according to advices received here.
 MT. Brent is now en route to Kan sas City. It was understood that the conference would be held soon as he returned to his headquarters in New Orleans.
 Announcement that the men would return to work came on the heels of an open letter, published today over the signature of MT. Br .nt, in which he attributed the present st- uation to "a little group of less than dozen men," who, he charges, had attempted to epforce by coercion" an impossible wage demand"
 Mir. Brent in his letter called att tention to conference held in New Orleans last Saturday, which, he said, was attended by representa- tives of the Memphis and New, Or leans harbors, but in which the St. Louis harbor was not represented.
 While renewing our offers of con ferences," the latter continued, i've have notified all officers of our tow boats that if. uneer sexisting cir cumstances they desert their posts, their places will be ff1ied..'
 The present wage of the pilots is $250 a month, MT. Brent said, with provision for months shore leave with full pay to licensed off cers who have served continuously for year. The wage advance de- manded, he stated, would have in- creased the pay to 1850 a month.

$l,000,000 FUND FOR WARRIOR BARGE LINE,
 CONFERENCE SUBJECT
WASHINGTON BUREAU I
 THE AGE-HERALD ! WashinRfnn. ID. C.. Jan. 30

The adyisability of preparing a be- lated estimate for the maintenance of the Mississippi and Warrior barge lines, approximating Sl,000,000, was the subject of an inconclusive dis cussion this afternoon between H. M. Lord, commissioner of the budget, and Col. T. c. Ashburn, chief of in- land waterways navigation.
 It was deterined finally to lay the matter before the President. that such an estimate be prepared, the Secretary of War, John ". Weeks, to Representatives McDuffie and oliver of Alabama, expressed him- self as willing.
 It is the understanding tonight that if an estimate by the budget is sent to the Senate, it will be pos sible to amend the army appropria- tion bill now pending. But if no estimate is forthcoming, an amend ment would be, it is said, almost inn possible.
 At the same time, it is reported tonight that If no estimate is sent to the Senate. Senator Reed of Mis- souri, will offer an amendment so that the two enterprises might be cared for until the fiscal year 1924.

| OFFICIALS TRAILING
 WHITE MAN SUSPECTED OF MEMPHIS MURDERS.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. Jan. 30.-Deela- ration by police official that a white man. regarded as a possible suspect likely would be in custody within a few hours gave the first promise tonight that solution may be in prospect of the mystery sur rounding the staying of Mrs. Ruth McElwlin Tucker, formerly of Bowl ing Green, Ky and Duncan Waller youthful Mayfield. Ky. travelling salesman.
 Beyond the bare announcement that an arrest was contemplated the police gave no indication. that their investigation, which has been in progress almost continuously since the bodies of lae young woman and her escort were found on the high way near Berelair, a Memphis sub urb, Sunday, had resulted in a tan- gible clue as to the identity of the slayer Cr slayers.
 < No intimation was given as to which of several angles known to have furnished the basis for investi- gation-1ealousy, robbery, revenge or iAe3 1t IOHASCl Luo man now under consideration with the killing. His identity likewise was closely guarded.
 Waller and Mrs. Tucker, the fer mer 19 years old and the later 20, were found with bullet wounds in their heads Sunday morning by a passing milkman. Walters body was seated in the automobile in which the couple left Memphis Saturday night for ride into the country while waiting for the hour when they were to meet another young woman, fiance of Waller. That of Mrs. Tuck : CT was found in nearby field. Dispatches from Mayfield home of Waller, and where his body was taken yesterday for burial, stated that the opinion was that jealousy probably was the motive which pro mpted the .slaying. It was admit ted, however, that this was only a surmise. So far as could be learned there. 1t was stated Waller had no enemies who might have been re- sponsible for his death.
 The body of Mrs. Tucker, es- tranged wife of a Franklin, Tenn, man, was taken to Rockfield, near Bowling, Green, for burial today.
 Miss Pearl Wright. fiance of Wal Ter and companion of Mrs. Tucker, accompanied Walters body to May field.

MELLON OPPOSES 5 ILL ON DOLLAR LOAN ID GE RMANY
Treasury Head Argues Farm CTS Would Lose More Than They Gain--No Funds
 Are Available

WASHINGTON, Jan. S0.-Opposi- tion to the Bursum bill to establish billion dollar credit for the Ger man government to buy foodstuffs in the United Sttaes was expressed today by Secretary Mellon in a let Senate finnace committee. He de- clared that it was in contravention of the treasury departments policy that foreign governments desiring to find finance in the United States should appeal to the investing pub lie and not seek government aid"
 Mir. Mellon said he knew of mo reason for taking any more favor able position with respect to the Ger man government that toward for eign governments associated with us in the late war"
 "The United States treasury, more over has no funds available for loans to foreign governments" the Treas ury Secretary added, and if such a bill as this were passed would have to find the funds by new borrowings or additional taxation of the Amer
 
 out of the question for such a purpose as this, for the governments borrow ings are already too heavy and ex- isting taxes are too high for the good of agriculture business and in- dustry.'
 Measure Not Justified.
 The seeretary's letter was present. ed at initial hearings today on the bill by a finance subcommittee. head ed by Senator Sutherland, republican, West Virginia. Wallace Bauer of New York, who has been attempting for year or more to obtain credits in this country for Germany, appeared in support of the measure.
 "The purpose of the present bill IS apparently to assist producers of agricultural products or other raw materials to find a market for their products" MT. Mellon wrote, and to do this by lending money to pros- pective buyers without adequate se- curity or sufficient assurance of abil- itv to repay principal and interest when due I do not believe that such an extraordinary measure is justified by conditions.
 "The emergency situation which existed in agriculture in 1921 has Tn large measure passed and condi- toins are becoming more normal. Bet ter machinery for distribution and marketing and some additional credit facilities may be necessary in order to establish the agricultural and livestock industries on a more stable basis, but the credits to be provided should, I believe, follow the lines in dicated in the bill introduced by Sem ator Capper, republican, Kansas (which was passed in the Senate day or two ago."

LEADERS PROPOSE NIGHT MEET INGS TO SPEED ACTION
Lenroot Protests Against Ap- parent Effort to Delay Vote. Fletcher Opposes Hurry
 in Passing Bill

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-A sit uation which had some earmarks of an incipient filibuster resulted in the Senate today when republican leaders renewed their efforts to ex- pediate pending rural credit legisla- ton.
 Several attempts to reach an agreement as to a time for closing debate having failed, suggestions of night sessions were reiterated by the majority.
 Protests Delay
 Senator Lenroat. republican, Wis consin, a co-author of the bill under consideration. broke Into series of addresses from the democratic side 60 protest against the apparent policy of delay. There was grave danger, he said, that unless more progress was made. the Senate would be unable to render assistance vitally needed by the farmers. Senator Lenroot's pro- test followed speech by Senator Harrison, democrat. Mississippi, crit ieising reductions which had been made by the budget bureau in esti- matse of the agricultural department and an address by Senator Ashurt democrat, Arizona, urging the neces- sity for some new methods of adopt ing constitutional amendments.
 Senator Fletcher, democrat, Flor x,fh hud fal load in G. tioning proponents of the Lenroot- Anderson bill, said there was no doubt of it's ultimate passage, but asserted there could be no justification for eX- treme haste in reaching a vote. Sen ator Harrison concurred in this view. warning the majority that mo strong arm method" could be employed with out causing trouble. He suggested that a vote be taken next Tuesday, put Mir. Leproot declared he expected decision before that time.
 Seek Compromise
 Senator Fletcher then sought unan- Inous agreement that all debate cease at p. m. Monday, and that in the meantime no other Legislation be con sidered except by unanimous con sent" Senator Jones, republican, Washington objected, but said he would agree to closing debate Fri day.
 An effort to compromise was made by Senator Smith, democrat, Florida. who suggested Saturday, but MT. Jones again demurred. renewing the suggestion of night sessions if the mil nority desired extra time for consid- eration.
 That is serious proposal" Sena- tor Fletcher declared. with this town full of grippe and flue. l for one will not risk my life by coming here at night. The mortality rate among senators is already pretty high. think it will take a large number of sergeants-at-arms to get you a quorum for night sessions"
 Other suggestions of compromise have failed. Senator Harrison moved for recess but was defeated, 34 to IS. and consideration of routine amendments was resumed. the body being held in session until it had dis posed of all thus far proposed.

 MEETS WITH REVERSE
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU l
 THE AGE-HERALD ! Montgomery, Ala, Jan. 30 J

By vote twelve to nine the com mittee on Judiciary tonight decided to adverse the bill giving the State Bar association control of Lawyers of Alabama similar to the control over doctors held by the Alabama Medical association. The adversal came after a bitter fight between factions of attorneys, one faction insisting that the bill would purify the profession and the other com tending that attorneys should be kept free from bureacucy and that the passage of the bill would mean the removal of the profession from control by the people:
 The bill was passed by the senate fast week. It provides that eommis- sion named by the Alabama Bar as- sociation shall have control of the licensing and disbarment of attor- neys, that all attorneys shall be members of the association ana that all members shall pay a license of five dollars a year for the support of the association.
 Addresses in support of the Dill were made by Judge B. F. Crum ot Montgomery. Henry r. Reese or Selma, Marvin Woodal1 of Birming- ham, W. O. Mulkey of Geneva and Hugo L. Black of Birmingham.
 Those who opposed the bill were Oscar L. Tompkins of Dothan, Fred Fite of Birmingham, and Judge Michael Sollie of Ozark.

 A. E. Jackson of Hartselle, who was appointed state superintendent of banks last week by Governor February l. Governor Brandon notified the senate that H. H. Mont gomery. retiring superintendent, de- sires to take another position at once and requested that he be relieved of his duties.
 The senate, which had already con firmed. the appointment of MT. Jack son for the term beginning February 15 promptly confirmed the nomi- nation for the short term.
 WANT TO SELL BONDS
 Authority to sell bonds to the amount of four million dollars was requested of the Alabama public service commission by the Alabama Power company in petition filed today. The company proposes to use the funds obtained from the bonds in extension and development work in Alabama The bonds would bear five per cent interest and would be due in 1851.
